You are talking shite poster, unless, you have just come out of a three year coma, your surname is mcoist and your rangers friend(s) is a refugee from North Korea. We are as ill prepared for top tier football as we were three years ago, have an ageing team based on nepotism and play route one shite football. Out of interest how did you get into that three year coma? Where can I get one?

Agreed. We have more ageing donkeys than anyone else, so a canter it is.

You miss my point. I am not a great fan of anyone on the list nor have I got a soft centre for underperformers. What I am saying is that for as long as I remember our support always seems to single out an individual to give pelters to whether deserved or not. Charlie Adam is a good example. I am sure that this year another candidate will emerge. As for wising up and getting rid of passengers and dross plus referring to former glories we would be lucky to field a seven a side team at the moment if dross were cleared out. Time to stop living in the past and feeding of former glories mate cos we are what we are and still have a mountain to climb. If this seasons style resembles the last two seasons then we are in for a long bitter frustrating year with a divided support.

Seems like a lot of people glad to see the back of Ross Perry. Good to see that the majority at least wish him well for the future. Who will be the next player to be singled out for abuse I wonder? It has always pissed me off that there is always a scapegoat that gets singled out for more abuse than others, its nothing new, I am in my fifties now and it has always been the case. Nominations for next scapegoat? Shields Aird Gallagher Hutton (stopped taking bets on this one) McGregor Smith Foster Daly Its like Cadburies Roses, everyone has a favourite!

Was Andy Coulson not a defender for Hivs, a real hacking bastard!

Totally agree. Also beating Juve and PSV over there

You "grayist" bastard!

Bring back Chris Burke!

How many ex Gers players have you seen at World Cup so far? Would you have any of them back for a second time if they are old enough?

Burke the only one for me. Shields and Clark up front with Templeton and Burke on wings, goals fest! Midfield more of a puzzler.

Alex McLeish A Rangers man. Been there, seen it, done it. Successful even with limited resources. The man to get us promotion next season and playing better football.

As a responsible dad I brought both my sons up as Rangers men. As youngsters their rooms were covered in posters, Gers duvet covers, rangers lampshades, wallpaper, every Gers tops going, the works. My oldest boy still goes to Ibrox but only occasionly, probably to keep me happy, but he and his mates travel to see Arsenal, Newcastle and Chelsea for the entertainment and nights on the razz. He then settles down on Sundays for Spanish football. He tells me he will always be a Rangers man but cant bare to watch the dross that we are getting served up. My younger son is a games junkie and cant be arsed with football at all although he keeps up to date with developments at Ibrox. He watched 10 minutes of final with me, shrugged his shoulders, said "sorry dad" and went back to his x-box or whatever. We are losing the next generation, lets not kid ourselves. We should be worrying about future generations as well. Unless drastic and radical changes are made for next season we will really really struggle. We need a new manager and coaching staff on wages that reflect our current financial position. We need a style that attracts fans, new fans as well as old. I am nearly sixty and have never felt so low, embarrassed and angry as a bear as I do now. How anyone but the blind can support this "style" of football and coaching / management I just cannot fathom. Ally, do the right thing, cherish what's left of your reputation and standing within the club, and go, please, it simply wasn't meant to be.

I totally agree with you. He certainly was not the worst of a bad lot. Hutton, Law and Smith ineffective and totally devoid of a killer pass between them. Daly slow and looking pissed of. Black cannot shake off small man syndrome. Moshni thinks he's better than he actually. Foster, pace to burn but nothing else. Jig did not really contribute much at all. Should be 4-4-2 with Clarke and Shields up front. I really fear for next week and see another disaster looming.

I do choose to be impressed by your Madam Zeldaesque insights into my thoughts, but seriously, we are strolling this league, obviously, but our lack of style, guile and consistency, most of all consistency should concern all of us. As for "walking the league next season", I do have misgivings but I dont think I am alone in that.

I cannot decide whether we have "a good squad" or a squad "good enough" that will win the league next year. Diehards aside, I think it is factual to say that the majority of fans on this site, which I believe to be an accurate reflection of the support in general, are pretty pissed off at the standard of our play, lack of cutting edge / guile, inability to close games out and general lack of style. I believe we will struggle next year and the notion of " automatic " promotion is unrealistic. It is also factual that we have a huge wage bill, players and management / coaching staff, that is disgusting considering where we are at the moment. Have we missed a golden opportunity to use our youthful players more effectively and for them to gain experience? YES Have we bought some players, home grown and foreign, that earn high wages but bring little to the team? YES If we replaced the manager / coaching staff in order to gain promotion next year would the fans accept this? YES All things being equal, we should stroll this league with a degree of style and power that the other teams in general should not be able to match and that includes us having the occasional blip, but, instead we have too many games where the standard expected is not there and we look very ordinary, cumbersome and predictable. The fanbase appears to becoming more polarised with each passing week, I refer to the playing side only and not the financial merry go round lurking in the background. Unhappy fans should be free to critisise the present situation, which includes wanting a change of management, because it is their right as ticket paying supporters. Those other fans, happy to accept the current situation equally have that same right. Sadly, I have never seen our club, or any club in a comparable situation, so divided and showing our soft underbelly to the ever increasing band of cretins trying to stamp us out, for good. The best way to steady the ship and present a united front is to play the Rangers way, a blend of power, style and finesse that unites the support. Until we have that, the bickering and infighting delights our enemies. If, a change of management achieves that" Rangers way" and subsequently a united support then it should not be seen as a radical, disloyal or unusual step but as a positive move for the betterment of our Club. We should not be afraid of change nor should we allow ourselves to be caught up in an emotional lovefest with any individual(s)
