Thick as mince mate

Oooh, right. Makes sense. I seen it in that TV show called Borgia. Anyone in doubt about how corrupt that lot are should watch it plenty of boobs anaw.

I don't get it....am I being thick as pig shit?

I understand the point about playing youth, but surely we need to source youth from Europe to bolster our local lads if that's going to be the way forward? If that's the case, maybe Cathro with Magath is the dream team we need?

Cheers bud Was quite proud of that myself

Come on mate that's too far. What about Naishame and Whittaker? He's scored a few and is better than half our duds even when he's hiding (which I admit is always). I'd drop him and sell him immediately, but he's never the worst offender. I actually even think his career with us is barely feasibly salvageable, which is more than can be said for Foster, Black, simonsen, Mohsni, McCulloch etc. Sandazza is another worse offender than him. Maybe all Law needs is dropped for a few games. Kenny McD refuses to try it though meaning Law has played every league game.

Anyone see that football documentary Next Goal Wins? I'd play the transgender defender (lol) Mohsni lookalike long before I'd play Mohsni. Genuinely better.

For those who are saying many have prejudged and Ally might make it all better with a refund and 'the truth', what could he possibly say that would make up for his behaviour? Even with hollywood blockbuster levels of fantasy I can't fathom a single thing he could reveal that would absolve him of guilt. How about - The board were Martians and they were conducting an experiment on the human response to adversity so they turned all the players minds to mush and made them play shite even though I bought superstars?

Personally I'd like us to become a footballing island. Shut ourselves off, turn up to games, do the obligatory meetings and interviews with no laughing/joking/pretend getting along. Fight every unfair decision without vitriol. Don't get dragged into debates, just say our piece and leave. Fans go to away games but don't spend a penny on pies or pints in the ground. I don't mean become a whipping boy, far from it, I mean cut out all the friendly ties. Become 100% business. Don't do any favours and expect none in return. Politely decline the use of our stadium for anything besides our own games. Adapt a philosophy of coaching/training/scouting that is as professional as it can possibly be and win so many games that it doesn't matter when dodgy refs give penalties to the opposition. Officially refute every attack against our club within 24 hours but calmly and sternly without any interviews to the rags. In fact no talking to the rags at all other than pure facts at a bare minimum. Quietly cut ties to all explayers who do talk to them. No tea and biscuits for journos who have to come over the threshold of ibrox. Just in then out. No dinner invites for anyone who has ever attacked our club. Whenever anyone tries to drag us into telling them why we've made a decision, politely refuse to respond. Whenever the spl ask us to send a rep or player for some publicity event, politely refuse. Whenever anyone from another team asks for vip tickets, explain we are already at capacity. Whenever a player gets a Scotland call up explain they aren't friends and over familiarity will be frowned upon. Don't contribute to any organisation or scheme that brings us into association with any other Scottish team. Build on our friendly ties with other British and European teams. Talk to other UK and continental press more than anyone within two hundred miles. Don't loan players to anyone in the top tier. No laughing and joking with opposition in the tunnel or after the game. Don't pay money for players from opposition teams. Only pre-contracts. Assume every invite, discussion or proposal is designed to harm us and politely refuse them all. Give them not one inch without ever coming down to their level.

He'd need to have £5m in the first place

That was a slick operation there lads. Good job. / thread

Something is different with us just now though. A lot of our legends have let us down and they know it's just a big laugh and a payday at Ibrox. If we do keep ex-players and 'Rangers' men around the place they'll need their arses severely booted to bring them back to reality. They don't have anything even remotely like the attitude and discipline of the Bayern setup, and it would take years to develop that mentality. To be honest we'd be much better with a clear out and an attempt to mimic the approach that's paying dividends for Ajax, Feyenoord, Sporting Lisbon, Partizan etc by bringing in people with experience of those academies. There's always an assistant coach that wants to become head coach and is willing to do so at a 'smaller' club. Build around these guys with a couple of ex-players who know the club but are willing to adapt to the new methodologies. Ajax ship young players out to feeder teams all around the world so they can get a game. With better scouting and some coaching connections we could have those same youngsters starting for us every week. Fuck it, we'll probably end up with the dream team of McCall, McDowell, Durie, Durrant and Gough.

Every time the Hearts thing comes up it makes me properly depressed. Fuck sake Rangers. We better put them back in their place ASAP.

Looks like he plays three up front which is promising. Don't fancy having Timothy on the wing though...

Bombay just made that up. If the journalist wrote the Jimmy Saville line he would be immediately sacked. The line in the Rangers preview about beating our wives is absolutely bonkers. Totally bananas. I'd be surprised if domestic abuse charities weren't complaining let alone our support. The guy seriously needs his head checked if he thinks he can write that in a national newspaper. I for one will be not complaining, but simply pointing out the obvious leave of senses to his editor in chief.

The whole Simonsen thing is weird. Most of the time you don't even pay attention to the keeper because they're either class, shite or just blend into the background. It's not anywhere near as nuanced as outfield players. The vast majority blend into the background so on the rare occasion you get one that's shite, it seems obvious to me they need dropped - immediately. Play Robinson or Kelly and if they just blend in that'll do!

I always thought legal fees was funny, but don't want to turn our anthem into a comedy song. Whatever we use it should be unanimous and Big Trophies seems to be the front runner.

Vuckic took his goal well with a cool finish and we're really struggling with finishing. If it wasn't a waste of his talents and make it harder to fit Clarke in I'd be tempted to stick him up top. Maybe switch to that if we're being wasteful.

Cheers Al

Best idea I heard all day

Ha, I'm probably just jaded and expected a secret girfuy in there

Why is Big Trophies so popular? Is there a double meaning in there? Clueless loyal

I'm in! Geez a minute to make the payment Edit: Where do I pay it? Is it buried in this 12 pager somewhere?

He kneeds to grain at yeast a seasons more experience to get the best out of our loafers. They'll do his pain in.
