Sandy Clark was driving one of the blacked out suvs my sources have said.
he asked the board to play a game of 5s and it was winner takes the club but Bennett didn’t have any shin guards so that’s why it didn’t go ahead 

Saying they're a good team makes you a tarrier? 
Let's pretend they're pish and all be staunch as fuck then.

"setting up a youth setup that is now comparable with top clubs in Europe"
Is that why we have zero youth in the team and haven't for the best part of a decade?

£3m for him. One of the worst signing ever for the outlay. 

Anyone putting hope in Matondo getting us to the next level is kidding themselves. He did have a couple of nice passes today, but more often than not, he hasn't a clue what he is doing. The same goes for Sakala. Neither are good enough.

No. I understand why you want to believe there’s a good reason we paid that fee, but there just isn’t. He’s shit

Good on him. If Raskin plays for Chelsea it means he’s been a success here - I’ll take that. 

Desire to play at the highest level is what drives players on.
If he wants to play in the EPL he is first got to be a stand out for us to get their attention which can only be good for us.

We need a sports psychologist more than we need a coach at the moment.
I have said before he should have set a marker with the first player that stepped out of line or didn't put 100% in and kicked them out.

No manager would improve this lot, all the tactics in the world, all the best coaching cannot fix the absolute shit mentality these players have
Even the likes of cantwell moving the water bag from the tarrier cunt last weekend, we need more of that contempt towards them and the rest of scottish football, too many of our squad are pussies when someone goes toe to toe with them
Said it with gio and I'll say it with beale, these players are the issue and always have been, they almost got gerrard sacked, they got gio sacked and they need to go

If he’s anywhere near the first team squad next season then the rebuild has gone badly wrong. 
 

You are right Defoe wouldn't have missed that open goal.
The goal he scored in the last legends game was an example of what a striker should be and do. Even at his age he would score more goals than the present group of supposed strikers we are paying good money to.

Sakala is rubbish, why we signed him I'll never know. I'm 75 yrs old and I could have put that one in the back of the net.
Absolutely criminal to miss that.
 

Has to be the absolute priority in the summer for me.
I know we have a load of other changes needed, but this is the most important area.  Especially against them.
We could have played until now and still not scored. Severe lack of quality, killer instinct and composure. And Beale needs to take responsibility for allowing Morelos to float around when we need a proper striker in and around the area wanting goals.  Fuck overcomplicating things, get a proper striker and play to their strengths.
We finished that game with what, Sakala, Matondo and Hagi as a front 3?? Honkin. 
Watching these games it honestly feels like the likes of Tav or Arfield are our main goal threats, still. 
We dont have an endless amount of money, and as much as we need to stop shiting the bed at the back, we really need to get people in that can hurt teams as goals breed confidence around the team and we huff and puff like fuck, before our inevitable concnetration lapse at the back.

Everyone on here could see a massive overhaul was needed last summer. The Europa run felt like an end of an era. There should have been a massive clear out.
Davis, McGregor, Arfield. Thanks for the memories and enjoy your retirement. They haven't ruined their legacies by staying but now leave after a shitshow of a season. Scottish Cup win last season should have been the send off.
Kent and Morelos. Sign or GTFO. 
Kamara, should have been sold if he wanted to go.
Deadwood like Helander, Wright, McLaughlin should have been moved on or loaned out.
Now we need to trust the same board that pulled the wool over our eyes last summer to now do an even bigger rebuild because all of the aforementioned players are still an issue PLUS there are other players like Sakala, Hagi, Roofe, Matondo, Yilmaz and Davies who they themselves recruited aren't good and/or consistent enough for Rangers. 
Call me cynical but I don't think this board has it in them for the task at hand.
 

How can we not play the whistle ... it's one of the first things you learn in the game but it seems to be a mystery to at least half our team  

Someone who can stick a ball in an empty net would be an upgrade. If you accept pish like Sakala then prepare to accept being 2nd for the foreseeable 

There's merit in not getting too bothered either way until signings are confirmed, given most of the chat is nothing more than speculation.
Just saying.. 😂

If a player is good enough or has resale value you don’t let their contract expire, you sell with 12 months to go or sign an extension and either play them or sell them a year later.
Kent and Morelos should have signed new deals last summer or be sold, Wilson has let them just run down their deals and we are getting nothing for them and we don’t want to keep them as they are done at the club. Matondo was signed on a 4 year deal by the way so not far off with the 7 years, again that is on Wilson. If you sign someone for 4 years you have to be sure they are going to be worth it or have resale, matondo has neither

We just forget about all of it. 

I have an old Alf doll that would be more competent and also taller.

The not investing after 55 was criminal we had the chance to bury them, not a chance they’d have spent what they have without that guaranteed CL cash, we got complacent though job was done far too much back slapping went on thinking job was over when in reality it had just started. 

Mate, if we don’t fuck up at the back and let those fucking defensive errors screw us we’re fine. Both those boys are good players. We’ve got other major problems than those two. Cant believe that people are going after Tillman and Cantwell. 🤦‍♂️ 

Too many people in this thread need to give themselves a shake. Imagine thinking it’s okay for a guy to get battered and trying to justify he and his family being threatened because of a game of football. 
 
Take the tinfoil hats off, lads. There’s no conspiracy and no great desire to cheat us. The referee just had a shite game. He’s had lots of them. He’s not good at his job. Most refs in Scotland aren’t. 
 
Incompetence doesn’t mean malice, though. There’s been plenty of decisions we’ve benefited from that should have went the other way. It doesn’t make Saturday any more acceptable or easy to swallow, but it’s the truth. 
 
Instead of going down the conspiracy route like the other mob, we as a fan base and as a club would be better served putting forward ways to improve the quality of the officiating in our country, because it’s a systemic problem. 
 

These things end up being a bit subjective though and you’ll never please everyone. If it’s smashed off the defender’s hand from close range and he’s no way of getting it out the way it shouldn’t be a penalty under current rules
