  1. I've often thought that the English just don't get it about their support for the ira ... it must seem so unbelievable to them that any football club would have such baggage :anguish:

    In my experience this is true. Since I moved to Manchester just over a year ago, I've had conversations with a few people about the tims IRA ditties and they were shocked to hear about it.

    It's not all that surprising that this is the case though. I mean if the Scottish mhedia largely ignore it, then it certainly isn't going to be reported down south therefore most people here are unaware of it.

  2. what is it with rangers fans obsession with players being 'work-shy and lazy'? as long as they do the business it doesnt matter, I feel sorry for some of the good players who put in a lot of decent performances but cos they lacked a bit of effort they will never be appreciated as much as they should (boyd, loverkrands, de boer, weiss, kanchelskis) even if we had ronaldinho in his prime we'd probably boo him for not tracking back!

    Because being workshy and lazy tends to get in the way of said players producing the goods on a regular basis.

    If I was workshy and lazy I dare say my employers would have me out on my ear within days. Why should The Rangers expect less?

  3. 3:25 in. Ally getting the winner in the Skol Cup final after being out ages with a broken leg. Overhead kick. Roy Of The Rovers stuff. Grew up worshipping him and the relief on his face in his celebration is great. Emotional goal.

    That's what I loved about Super. When he scored an important goal he always looked as if it meant as much to him as it did to all the fans. That Hibs goal, the Leeds goal that's been mentioned and the one against the tims in the cup after Davie Robertson had been sent off - I mean he's looks as if he's in tears after that goal - are all good examples.

  4. To be honest mate I don't think he will ever be fully appreciated, one of my favourite players to watch. A magician!

    I can honestly say he's been the finest footballer I've ever seen and I was saying that years ago even in the days when Iniesta was a Rikaard token substitution. The guy could pass the ball on a pin head from 100 yards. I've always been a fan of a good passer and there's not been a better one than Xavi.

  5. Could argue that about Messi equally too, though I agree with you.

    Saw this tonight as well - Messi has contributed 286 goals to Barcelona in 286 games if you combine his goals and assists.

    True and Messi is something else. But Xavi is the best passer of the ball I've ever seen by a mile. An absolute god and I don't think he'll be fully appreciated till he's gone.

  6. No one else curious why the fuck Wenger is quoted when everyone and his maw know they've needed a centre half and Parker-esque centre mid for years???? Right enough it's only several years since he won anything.

    As far as I'm concerned Xavi is the greatest footballer I'ver ever seen. He's the heartbeat of Barca and everything they do is through him.

  7. Thought he was good technically. Elegant on the ball.

    Alan Hansen's nickname was "Elegant Alan Hansen" ... didn't stop him from tackling Willie Miller on the half way line and almost single handedly knocking Scotland out of the 1982 World Cup. This was before my time btw but I've seen the clip.
  8. Slightly off topic, Hooiveld scored again for Southampton tonight, seems to be doing well down there.

    Arguably the scum's two best CBs are performing to a decent standard at other clubs in England. :lol:

    Whilst they are stuck with Loovens and big baldy!

    My fave thing about Lennon is his insistence in playing Mulgrew, a shite left back, at centre half while those two are out doing well at other clubs. We are all Neil Lennon - unless you're a tim that is. :pipe:

  9. Interestingly I remember Gers fans at the time abusing Eck for playing him left mid as his apparent best position was just off the front man. Funnily enough though I noticed in the build up to the Chelsea game he was described in "The i" as a left winger = so maybe his current manager thinks he's best there too. Still no one knows better than your average RM mod. :pipe:

  10. Perhaps because Whittaker and Broadfoot make mistakes more frequently, whereas generally McGregor is consistently outstanding and makes only the rarest of errors.

    I understand your point mate but goalkeepers are different. A goalkeeper making basic errors that causes a goal is far more worrying than an outfield player. He deserves criticism. Don't get me wrong, I love Greggsy, but it is important that he keeps his concentration in check. The Goalie used to say that being The Rangers goalkeeper was mainly about concentration. You can be inactive for 89 minutes then need to make a save. McGregor needs to ensure that he is focussed as these basic errors can't continue. I hope Ally and co have a word.

  11. Why are some people so quick to defend McGregor yet when a player in another position makes an error which leads to a goal (Whittaker, Broadfoot etc) they demand they are dropped.

    I don't want to see McGregor lose his spot in the team but after those two howlers he defnitely needs a word in his ear from Coisty, even a warning, that if he doesn't buck up his ideas and maintain his concentration then Alexander will be taking his place. Good man management is needed here.

  12. A rather inane comment.

    Hypothetically we are taking away their 2 best attributes, which is fair.

    Your Bolt reference is irrelevant, and doesn't make sense in the context of the argument.

    I'm sorry I didn't realise my post would be read by morons.

    What I was saying is that being fast does not make you a world class fooballer. Being an amazing passer of the ball however does. Understand yet, dipshit? :pipe:
