Drag out or throw in mate? lol I generally ignore this stuff.. but there comes a time where something has to be said/done. So well done VB.

Haven't followed this tbh... but it sounds like the right result. Well done.

Whitby you say? Was Donald the president then.. or Neil... You must know Big John Shanks?

Not sure if this has been debated.. but is there any chance we will see a front 3 of Niko/Beattie/Miller. Surely in the SPL we'd destroy teams. Loved Niko's movement. Get Big JB in the middle to get on the end of balls...

Yeah I'd agree with that.. and btw... Some of my fondest memories are driving thru Alligator alley to Naples! -- Then down to Key West. Lovely part of the world to be sure. We need to bury ra shellick this year... They cannot spend like this next year .. surely not. Keep Weiss for another year, qualify for the group stages (again) ... and shellick will finish in the bottom six. Guaranteed.

I can easily start one mate. Actually... I wanted to get to 5,000 posts yesterday -- hence the 'extra' activity. Childish I know.. but wtf. Keeps me out of trouble tbh.

Well said Tumshie. I can't believe that I read today that ra shellick 'leap' to the top of the table ! ffs! Aye, bring it on. A Maloney dive to win 1-0 at Fir Park doesn't exactly scare me. Oh aye... and they never get any decisions in their favour? f*ck them.

Forgot to add in my post... Walter is the master of using the press. Absolute master. I'm not saying Walter would lie -- not at all -- but he can say things in a way that can be interpreted different ways. "The bank is running the place" Really? Maybe? Cause for concern? So? etc. He has used the press to get what he thinks is right for The Rangers Football club. A wee bit off topic -- but when Walter is quoted, you really need to read between the lines in almost every case. Brilliant! Reading Walter is close to reading Sun Tzu. (It's all about deception.)

Thanks KazzyTI Yeah basically the same... Depends on how you want to look at it. Glad he knows what he's in for in a sense and has accepted the fact that he'll need to deal with it. I'm sure he can. But ffs can we not just play Football and not have to contend with mixed martial arts as well? (ok exaggerating a wee bit :-) )

Aye.. do you remember Beasley's first game in the SPL? Tokely nearly murdered him. I actually defend the SPL since it's better than it's reputation is... But it's guys like Tokely that are part of the problem. No issue with Big Honest Lads.. but Tokely is a joke.

Cheers mate.. I think he CAN easily survive the SPL.. It's just the brutal 'tactics' that get to me...

@filointerdentale -- I will say that Vladimir Weiss will be a huge success here. Some say he is greedy when he has the ball. I like that -- because he has the skills to make things happen. He has a bit of arrogance to his game. Again, not everyone can pull that off.. he can. Superb young player -- we will miss him when he leaves.

Now now boys and girls.. Let's give our new member the benefit of he doubt? @BeautifulSeas... It's quite common when we have a European match that supporters from the other club join up for some banter n'est ce pas? And vice-versa. Or common interest -- as in this case. Look at the Jelavic saga. We had people on here from Rapid ... Some of our members joined up on their forums and so on. and iirc, some even got banned! Ah happy days. and "imo" is not limited to Scotland mate... lol common Internet acronym.

Didn't take long eh? Myself and many others have posted that Vladimir would get the shite kicked out of him up here. This is what really pisses me off. We try and attract great players -- but who in their right mind would want to play here? Credit to Vladimir though, he's a helluva lot tougher than he looks and he will be fine. But, what is his impression going to be of Scottish football? If he's asked by another loan prospect for example, is he going to recommend the SPL? He'll probably recommend The Rangers -- but with the qualifier that the SPL is f*cking brutal. Dailyrecord... Hang in there son.

Mad Vlad at his best with Hearts/Kaunus. Certainly seemed to me that the whole team was on loan! Ah well.. tbh, not sure why there are any rules at all surrounding loans. Football is a business and you should be able to do what you want with loan players. A loan deal is a win-win imho (at least, it's supposed to be).

Totally forgot about Sproule. Seemed he had a promising career -- certainly played well against us. Wonder why it hasn't worked out for him. I still remember that painful 3-0 drubbing (@IBROX) at the hands of Hibs a few years back. He was terrific that day.

I'd of thought the players mentioned would have been off by now if they were to be sold?

iirc... You started this forum from the old beeb site. I just wanted to say -- you have not been given enough credit mate. :21: :21: :21: :21: Well done. Edit: There were others involved I'm sure.. so respect

Yup My point.

Aye... this. And throw in Big George Young.

I thank you! Bored today -- clearly. :-)

It simply has to be SIR Walter Smith. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWeZyHdgLHM&feature=related

IF I was Walter - and clearly not -- I understand putting him out on the left. Naisy has shone this year. And Weiss is an incredible footballer. Right/Left.. Should not matter. So I understand the logic? But perhaps, switch them up next game... Why not.

Amen brother.

Aye... they can be useful mate. btw. As an aside. My son is home at the moment after his training out west... Going to cry when he leaves.. Seriously
