Watching last night made me realise that are players are not only behind europes top teams in quality but also in physical ability. Now i wouldn't say fitness is lacking as we can be a hard working team but i mean sheer strength and pace. We get away with it in the SPL as the other teams are poorer than us so we don't really notice but in the big games we seem so off the pace. We don't really have any fast players in our team anymore. Novo and Bougherra maybe but even against CL defenders they don't look that fast. Portsmouth won an FA Cup and got to the UEFA Cup on a transfer policy of..."Big black bulldozers" only. They had Kranjcar as their flair player and Defoe and Crouch upfront but if you look at the rest of the team Redknapp played they were all machines. Glen Johson, Sylvin Dystin, Papa Boupa Diop, Sulley Muntari, Noel Paramot, John Utaka etc. Redknapp realised that by having atheletes all over the pitch would make a huge difference to the team. Kevin Thomson is known as our tenacious tackling midfielder but last night he couldn't get near the ball. We are cash strapped right now but if the chance to have a Rangers team like an Afican Nations Select who can run the 100m in 11 seconds and bench press a cow then i don't think it would be a bad step at all. Would be interested to see what you make of this? Just throwing the idea out there that we seem to be lacking strength and pace in key areas.

Last time we played them was on my birthday and i walked from my flat into town...right past pittodrie and i was going up streem in my Rangers top as all the fans were going down. Probably the stupidest thing i have ever done but no-one did anything! (1 even called me a f*****). Im absolutely dying for us to put a few past them this weekend and come away with the win. Especially after the 0-0 at Ibrox.

I think the ban - like AS Roma's - will be reduced to 1 transfer window on appeal.

http://www.mma-core.com/videos/_Brock_Lesn...558&tid=100 Have a watch of this Brock Lesnar fight. The man is a fucking machine. Very funny interview with Brock at the end of the fight aswel. He hates his opponent.

If Tottenham are serious in trying to push for top 4 then Anton Ferdinand is not the kind of player they want.

Yeah it is obviously a bear taking the mick.

LMAO anyone seen this on his wikipedia... Rangers 01/09/2009 Rothen is set to join Rangers, on a one year permanant deal. The deal will be sealead on the last day of the transfer window, after Rothen snubbed a 3-year-deal with troubled Bundesliga club Schalke 04. Rothen has been quoted "From the moment I heard that Rangers is interested, I knew I wouldnt sign for the German diddy club". He also mentioned that Glasgow is the nicer city anyway and Scotland overall a better place to live. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Rothen#Rangers

This is the kind of signing we need. A player of quality who plays in a position that we are very light on options in. Getting better one small step at a time.

Van Nistelrooy and Van Bommel and they stil were no match.

Not sure if anyone saw Dermot Gallacher interview earlier on but he is spot on... Eduardo cheated - didn't get caught and gets a 2 game ban most likely. Lafferty cheated - didn't get caught and gets a 2 game ban. McGeady - gets caught and gets a yellow card (albeit it was a 2nd yellow which will lead to a 1 game ban anyway) but surely he should be pulled up and given a 2 game ban. Just because he got caught means he is getting off lighter.

I've got Arsenal on as part of an accumulator for tonight but for some reason i'm not to confident. Fabregas is out and Wenger said some players might be fatigued. Could be a 0-0! Lets hope not.

Anyone who has put McGregor or Alexander ahead of Gordon in their team is off their rocker imo. He is by far the best keeper we got and i think he could probably be the first choice keeper if a proper British Olympic team was formed.

Can't remember what team it was about - i do know their manager was called "..... Gay" or what player but im sure a few seasons back i read a transfer quote saying: Gay chases Smith (or whatever his name was)! Poor Smith.

Stevie O'Reilly lmao Whos the ref for our game after that? Paddy Murphy McSeamus-Finnigan?

I stand corrected. Have a look; http://golf.about.com/od/faqs/f/par5aces.htm

I would be really surprised if it has ever happened. EVER! Hitting a golf ball over 500 yards is physically impossible. Unless u were to land it on a cart path, and it bounced on another cart path etc. but in any proper golf course that isn't going to happen.

Only the 1 unfortunately. Last season.

We ALL hope so but its very unlikely. Plus i don't think Walter would buy a centre half just because we need one, he likes to take his time and scout one so unless he has 1 already eyed up then i doubt it.

Great campaign. I remember that we needed Porto and Artmedia to draw and they did 0-0 but the next day when i was watching highlights the pitch was very very muddy and Porto had a shot that was going in but stopped on the line due to the mud which put us through good times. p.s. drawing twice with Artmedia

Ask and you shall receive!

He missed another one against Dundee United at Ibrox, just after New Year on our Uefa Cup Final season. We were 2-0 up anyway i think and the pen was in the last 5 mins. Chris Burke scored iirc.

I actually wondered who would take the penalty if Boyd wasn't on? Papac maybe as i remember him taking a few in the shootouts two years ago. Played pretty poor today though so im glad he never.

Poor Lazlo is nearly crying.

Thats why we're champions, that's why we're champions, thats why we're champions!!!

YESSSS! What a supersub!
