Liverpool's replacement for Van Dijk.....

My reverse superstitious psychology worked. 👍🏏😅 
Plus I was busy at work. Watching it on my phone whilst finishing my Open Championship.
Glad I turned it off and the good guys found a way to win. 

A good test match that. Stokes hopefully kicks on and becomes one of the best in the world. I know Curran is small for a bowler but he has something about him I like. 

I'm going to enjoy my day off tomorrow. 🏏💙

Here's my explanation - Flanagan got away with it because it no longer mattered. If the league was still to be decided the outcome would have been different. Appeasing fucks.

On the 27th May 1856 the Rangers legend that was Tom Vallance was born.
To quote his Rangers team-mates from the 1870’s ‘’ The whole of Rangers loved him like a brother’’
Over the years of our research one name kept popping up time and again and that’s the name of Tom Vallance who had on reflection sadly been overlooked.
Tom was born at a small farmhouse known as Succoth near Renton in the parish of Cardross in 1856.When young he moved with his family to the Old Toll House at Shandon on the Gareloch.Tom came to Glasgow in the early 1870’s following the path taken by his friends from the Gareloch ,the brothers McNeil and Campbell .
Tom Vallance had an astonishing 60 year association with the Club, and his is an incredible CV.
He was a master oarsman, a champion athlete (he set a Scottish long jump record of over 21 feet), he studied at the Glasgow School of Art, had paintings accepted by the Royal Scottish Academy and was Rangers Club Captain and President for many years.
We have recorded details of Tom Vallance being present at the ceremony held on 1st January 1929 which saw the opening of the Main Stand at Ibrox and also at a dinner which was held in the St.Enoch’s Hotel after a Rangers match in 1933 when we faced Sporting Club of Vienna. He was also a guest of the Club at the New Years Day fixture against celtic.So, the lad who was present at Fleshers Haugh in 1872 is still attending Ibrox some 60 years later where the Club that he’d helped form and nurture were now playing in front of crowds in excess of 100,000.
Tom was a successful business man. He had The Club restaurant at 22 Paisley Road West which today is the Viceroy Bar,The Metropolitan which stood on Hutchison Street in the Merchant City area of Glasgow and the Lansdowne which was at 183 Hope Street.
Tom was having the Rangers results wired to his restaurants for the benefit of his patrons as early as 1890.
When Rangers moved to First Ibrox in 1887 it was said that it was common for Club President Vallance to be working the turnstiles on matchday.
At the opening of the Main Stand in 1929 Tom Vallance recalled the facilities being so cramped at the Rangers ground at Kinning Park that the players would have to wash in basins of cold water in the open air.
It was the teenage Tom Vallance who helped lay the very foundations upon which our Club was built, hard-work, discipline, honesty, integrity and fair play .Mr. Struth said during that famous speech “No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the Gallant Pioneers”
Tom was paid the ultimate accolade by the Club in May 1898 when he was made a life member.
As a lasting tribute to the incredible contribution he made to our Club we had Tom put on to canvas by way of a painting by artist Helen Runciman .Tom Vallance has now taken his rightful place at the top of the Marble Staircase alongside his friends and fellow Founders.
Tom died on 16th February 1935 aged 78 at 189 Pitt Street Glasgow. He is buried in Hillfoot Cemetery in Bearsden and his funeral was attended by Mr. Struth, Chairman James Bowie and his old team-mate James McIntyre who both took a cord.Incredibly ,players from the Vale of Leven team whom Tom had faced 60 years earlier in 1877 were also in attendance.
He was a great Ranger who loved his Club.
Today we celebrate the life of Tom Vallance.

I have the same body as Gerrard it’s just that mine is under bundles of fat and flaps of loose skin 

Great cause, and wish all the best, but I'd pay not to see the muddy Darth pics....

But will they?  All too often we get ‘the statement’ then absolutely nothing to back it up.

Shock and awe for a change from the club. 
Now follow through with this and nail the cunts to the floor. 

No, not the Catholics, there's a lot of them, just the lowest sub-category of ignorant, hate-filled ira (and any other terrorist) praising, abuse-denying scum who for some bizarre reason have a hugely disproportionate influence in Scottish media and politics. But that's satisfying enough.

Definitely a case for Inspector Corner of the Yard.

Haha thats you won the post of the day (again)
I haven’t even seen it all yet.  Family stuff etc.  I saw the first goal and nearly cried, actually had tears in my eyes how daft eh?
It better be on tonight 

Absolutely gutted they didn't get this sooner. 
They played absolutely outstanding. 

No likes left 

😊

Naw mate, know a few Catholic’s misguided they may be. 
They aren’t anything like the scum that follow them. 

The Catholic’s!! 
Nope we beat the Fenian Taig Tarrier Peado cunts. 

That looks one fucking beautiful pint of beer - well deserved, get it down you

Are you surprised. At all?
I was working this afternoon and hungover...still am. Had a hair of the brewdog just there to lighten me up a little. No doubt I'll make a jackass thread to keep the groany ones happy tomorrow. It's Monday after all so why not. At least your tired typing isn't howling like mine haha 
Thank goodness we won yesterday that's all I'm saying
Cheers. 

It maybe wasn't expressed as well as it could have been at the start - and try getting any sense out of me before the early morning coffees have hit in - but the sense was clear, and people have just jumped in like fucking jackals, which is kind of depressing, as we're all meant to be bears here, although I have my doubts.
And fuck the white knight shit.

No-one's ashamed of that,
