  1. Had a hip replacement a few weeks ago. Still on crutches when I saw him in town last week.
  2. Gauld would probably do best to move to Europe, Germany or Spain or somewhere like that, if one of their teams comes in for him. His other options are stay in Scotland to get kicked by Caley Thistle defenders, or go south to not play football ever again.
  3. This is almost as funny as that Daily Record story from yesterday that quoted a spoof Sandy Easdale twitter account.
  4. We need to look at this more rationally I think. Our youth system isn't anywhere near as bad as people make out, for one. We've had some good players come through over the last 5-6 years that might still be here if we hadn't been such a basket case corporately. We've got a few decent young guys at the club now. I'm not convinced we 'missed an opportunity' last season. We fielded quite a few youngsters, and some of them don't seem to have been up to Rangers standard. I feel it would have been incredibly unrealistic to build a team of young players last season. This season is maybe another argument. Maybe.
  5. Probably a combination of things. East Fife today were probably expounding all their energy and concentration to keep us out. That's only sustainable for so long.
  6. The two of them together rip my knitting. What a load of tosh they talk.
  7. Subbies are as halfwitted as any other journalist. I had a piece subbed once, the guy changed a few words, which completely altered the point I was making. Not sure he understood the semantics.
  8. He was a metronome today. In fairness, I thought he did that for a lot of last season as well, but he perhaps didn't have the quality he has around him this season.
  9. To be honest, if you don't think McCoist is a manager at this point in his career, I don't think you ever will. That's mostly part and parcel of being a manager at Rangers. Plenty of people on here didn't just dislike Smith's methods, even as he won us three SPL titles in a row, they thought he was incompetent. Personally, I think Ally's doing an adequate job. I could give reasons for forming that opinion, but most of them are highly subjective.
  10. It happens at virtually every team in the world, every week.
  11. Lee Wallace is arguably the one guy in our current squad that could play at the top level in Europe, so anyone coming into replace him is going to have a hard act to follow.
  12. Smith may have given the ball away earlier in the passage of play, but Peralta did do 'a Caldwell', giving them possession immediately before they scored.
  13. Cheers. And that took me ten minutes and I'm only just up. It's interesting that he's criticising Ally for being "well practised in the art of filling space" as that's exactly what this type of opinion piece is.
  14. Okay, let's go through this. Haven't most observers stated that we have the most second best squad in the country, currently? They were saying similar for most of last season, and we've strengthened over the summer. A 3-1 defeat in a bounce game hardly contradicts that. A manager defends his player. Shocking. In any case, Steven Naismith wouldn't be the first person in the world to do something out of character. Oh, and here's a quote from a contemporary Daily Mail artice: "'I spoke to Naisy about it and he said the lad didn’t make anything of it and that he was just trying to brush him aside,’ said McCoist. ‘But I’d be better qualified to speak about it after I’ve seen it". We've all been over this as well, Glenn. Clear and transparent, remember? Actually, from the same Daily Mail piece as above: "Currently, the SFA are operating with an interim Compliance Officer, whose name is being kept under wraps. The absence of transparency about that key figure is a situation that jars with McCoist". This was pre-admin, so the SFA's procedures are clearly something Ally's felt concern about for some time. Yes, it's called political posturing. Why else would he ask the question if he already knew the answer? I suspect you already know the answer. Did it? I must have missed the completion of the subsequent police investigation. Nothing shows up in Google later than the few days after the incident, where the police stated that they were "not linking this incident to any particular bus", and that they were "still in the early stages of our investigation.”. There's a subtle semantic difference there between 'not ruling anything out at this stage' and 'we have ruled that out'. But I suspect you know that. Yeah, well, if this piece is a measure of your journalistic ability, it's a good thing I don't read newspapers.
