"We love you Lennon, oh yes we do". Not ready to start a game yet. Would be a good idea to give him a wee run if we get a few goals ahead.

Are you sure that's his wage? I heard Charlton had offered him ?14k a week.

All the best to him if he moves on. I think Calderwood has already said he doesn't want him for Aberdeen though.

I can't help wondering if it's not a bit embarrassing to be in a position where Charlie Christie needs to speak up for you.

Prso and Smith are out. Doubt if Boyd, Burke and Murray are ready to start. The only change I foresee is if Buffel is fit and PLG takes the decision to play him in place of Sebo.

There seems to be competition for him: http://www.fansfc.com/frontpage/frontpagen...p?newsid=160876

We need to get that second Champions League spot.

Looks like sheer guesswork by the Times.

Don't listen. Put on some nice music instead. It'll help your blood pressure. B)

I would guess the team will be unchanged on Saturday with Boyd and Burke on the bench. We'll see. <bubblepipe>

As expected. http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ne...~948208,00.html

Good news. http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ne...~948244,00.html

McGregor 6 - some good saves (some a bit Hollywood), poor on crosses, questionable at the second goal. Hutton 5 - Some good runs upfield, often shocking end product Svensson 6 - decent game Hemdani 4 - not his position Papac 5 - did OK Clement 6 - put in a good shift, unluckily booked Ferguson 6 - not at his best, but didn't play badly Adam 5 - worked hard, maybe tired in the second half Sionko 5 - not too bad but can do more Novo 6 - worked very hard as usual but not much quality Sebo 5 - not that bad, not that good, still has it all to prove

For me one good, strong centre-back to replace Hemdani (good footballer but not an SPL centre-back) would make a huge difference. Svensson has been improving as has Hutton, hopefully Smith will be back soon, and Ian Murray seems to be fit again. I would try Murray, if fully fit, in place of Hemdani and look to get another CB in.

Lost a shockingly bad goal. For me Hemdani is a good player but not an SPL centre-back.

So much for the Masons at the SFA (again).

I'm guessing Buffel is injured or ill. We don't have too much option if Sebo doesn't do the business (and he hasn't really done it up to now).

What did he actually say (as opposed to the media's interpretation of it)?

I am genuinely curious though; how is h** sectarian? Is it a disparaging term for a Protestant? Or an OO member? It's used as a dergatory term for a Protestant. Maybe I really AM sheltered then. I've never once heard it used to slag off any person who wasn't a Rangers fan. ive heard english fans call germans 'h***' nowerdays its all tounge and cheek, i think it would only take a very sensative person to take offence to being called a h** or a fenian. after all its been somewhat accepted in scottish society and we have grown up and become immune to it "h**" and "Fenian" both get used in a sectarian way. In a way, I don't mind people who aren't bothered by either - at least they're not hypocrites. But, in the end, I'd like us to get away from all that.

Dan's right - it has ties back to the Second WW and nazis were referred to as h*** for some reason I believe. Germans were referred to as "h***" in the First World War so it doesn't exactly mean Nazi in that context.

I am genuinely curious though; how is h** sectarian? Is it a disparaging term for a Protestant? Or an OO member? It's used as a derogatory term for a Protestant.

Never heard of it being used to mean that exactly.

Are you aware more than one lip reader was used. And they all came up with something different Never heard that claim before. Aye, apparently it's true. Problem with these cases is lipreading is like anything else - it's subjective. Just because lip reader sees this and that, doesn't mean THAT is what was said. Another reader might see something different. Might? Do you have anything to back up your claim about multiple lipreaders?

"h***" is used as a sectarian insult. But I hope you're right that things are getting better generally.
