  1. According to Wikipedia, the side he's joining plays in a 2,000-seater stadium.
  2. I was very, very vocal in my criticism throughout the season; he was an over-aggressive, ankle-wrestler. Waghorn (Another I've been critical of) out-scored him and cost a tenth of the price, but Garner had a song and Waghorn was booed on occasion. However, looking back on the whole thing, I just feel gutted. I remember when we signed him; it was almost like the icing on the cake after Barton, Kranjcar, Rossiter, etc. We were going for 55 and things were looking positive. All the best to him at Ipswich; a move best for both us and for him.
  3. Fuck him and his MBE. A fucking embarrassment of a captain.
  4. I'm impressed by the level of activity at this early stage, but I absolutely won't get ahead of myself. Not after last season. The prospect of Barton, Kranjcar & Rossiter in midfield will not be surpassed, but I have no doubt it will be bettered.
  5. Is that last season's training gear? Get a grip, Rangers. You're a professional football club; the biggest in Scotland.
  6. An excellent opportunity for big Lee and I wish him well. I've always liked Killie. We seem to do well there, plus it's a tidy wee stadium in a nice area; a total novelty in Scottish football.
  7. A disgrace of a man and an even bigger disgrace of a footballer. Hands down, the worst player I've ever seen playing for Rangers and in that category, I take into account Amdy Faye, Filipino Sebo and Ross Perry. Just utterly incapable of anything worthwhile. An absolutely talentless player who lacked the ability to complete the most simple of tasks, such as a 10 yard pass.
  8. It's good news, but I've never understood the suggestion that Ibrox is falling apart or is in desperate need of a lick of paint. It's no worse than Parkhead in terms of cleanliness and other clubs in Scotland? Don't get me started.
  9. A very, very strange one. He missed pre-season and the first few matches of the season due to being away with the England under-19s squad, then made, what, three appearances before his season was over? I still don't know what's wrong with him. How bad is that? Given social media and the volume of interviews players and managers give, you'd think we would know. Warburton's comments that he was "8 to 10 days away" were clearly utter nonsense. It makes me suspicious of why the England under-19s captain and Liverpool's next big thing ended up here. Another car crash to add to the endless list of this season.
  10. When we got to this stage in the mid-to-late 90s, they were hitting-and-hoping; throwing anything at it with random appointments like Jansen and Venglos, then out-of-trend signings like van Hoodjidonk and di Canio. They didn't stop us doing ten, we fucked-up. They started that season terribly, losing the first two games, if I remember correctly. We, on the other hand, started well and Negri was on flames. By December, we were in better shape than we had been for any of the last three titles. Then, the wheels started coming-off, including 35-goals Negri picking-up an injury in January, then Gazza going off the rails and being sold. We were still in the driving seat, though, until we fucked it at Motherwell and at home to Kilmarnock. I still remember the day they won the league against St Johnstone. I grew-up through nine-in-a-row, so it was a surreal, numbing experience. Is Caixinha another Jansen or Venglos, a hopeful stab in the dark? Time will tell.
  11. Wullie Henderson can fuck off. In a season where they - a club vocal in our relegation, a club who wanted us stripped of league titles and who hung effigies of us at Parkhead - have beaten us to the league title, including two 5-1 humiliations and a last minute winner to book their place in a cup final, he's making an appearance at a fucking musical they organised for a cup win in the 60s? Fuck you, Wullie Henderson.
  12. The only people we're kidding by calling their title(s) tainted is ourselves. I agree that the first five of this six-in-a-row period were tainted, but that will absolutely and 100% be forgotten about if they reach ten and there is a massive, massive probability that it'll happen. Fuck them, but what a fucking season they've just had. It pains me, big time. A positive? This will be the last Monday that I face gloating Tims for a couple of months and this season, there have been many of those Mondays. We need a monumental summer, otherwise they're walking along to title number seven and at seven, it gets serious when we're talking about ten-in-a-row.
  13. Is big Steven Thompson a bluenose? It certainly doesn't sound it. A tarrier sympathiser.
  14. I don't know if it's been mentioned, but whatever one of those twins isn't Lafferty's missus, is Darren O'Dea's. Yes, as if that cunt couldn't get any worse, his brother-in-law is O'Dea.
  15. I agree that he needs to improve, but that advice is applicable to our entire squad and not reserved solely for Foderingham. I believe it could be argued that there are many who need to improve before him. We won't see another Andy Goram or even another Allan McGregor, for that matter. I'm not accusing you of failing to adjust your expectations, but if you're waiting for someone to replicate Goram, then you'll be waiting a while. Scottish football is getting worse on an annual basis. The money isn't there to attract that calibre of player. As a side note and not directly in response to your comments, I think Foderingham has had to adapt significantly to his new surroundings since arriving here. He went from playing for lower league Swindon in front of small crowds to Rangers, under intense pressure on a weekly basis and in front of 50,000 fans every other Saturday. He was also blatantly instructed to distribute the ball to feet; punting it up the park was very rarely an option. In that sense, credit to him.
  16. I think it's difficult to judge an 'keeper who doesn't make glaring errors, like Foderingham. I appreciate that he's conceded five on two occasions against the Tarriers, but I see that as a collective fuck-up; the whole team take responsibility. On the other hand, his saves stand-out for me. I'm not and never have been into goalkeeping, but his shot-stopping looks good to me. His fingertip save in the last minute of extra time in the semi-final last season, from Griffiths free-kick, kept us in it and as a result, gave me the most joyous day supporting the Bears in many years. Last Sunday up at Perth seemed like it was being treated as a kick-about by Caixinha, given the volume of changes, so I'm not looking too much into Alnwick starting.
  17. Written by Keith Jackson; journalisms equivalent to Ashton Kutcher in the film industry. Fabricated, made-up nonsense. The Daily Record isn't even controversially interesting, it is a comic.
  18. Absolutely - pro-IRA songs are the way to my heart and I love nothing more than an anti-Protestant sing-song. You've got me, I'm busted. I've never hidden my opinion of the Union Bears; they don't impress me. I couldn't even tell you where they were seated for the last Old Firm game at Ibrox. As I said in my first post, I'm disappointed to admit this, but it's true. "Rheptiles", by the way. That sort of patter is absolute shite and cringe.
  19. Hand-on-heart, I believe Perry chucked it that game. I'm firmly of that opinion. Between Perry on that day and Little in the 3-0 loss at Parkhead after administration, I've never seen two players look more out-of-depth in a Rangers jersey.
  20. Aye, that's very true. Caixinha may now be of the opinion that Bates are Wilson are ahead of McCrorie in the pecking order.
  21. That's interesting. I've heard a lot about the McCrorie brothers, but things had gone quiet, so I assumed they had fallen away. How do you see the situation panning-out when McCrorie returns? We certainly won't be playing with three young centre-backs in Bates, Wilson & McCrorie. I'd be spewing if I was McCrorie, by the way. Missing out on a first team opportunity due to being out on loan, resulting in a player further down the pecking order getting the nod.
  22. The boy holding the camera is bouncing, so l don't think you can tell.
  23. If it's the one that posted Lloyd put in the first post of the topic on the subject, Caixinha is not joining in.
  24. Prove it. The clip I seen, taken from the main stand, didn't include him doing it, but instead those around him.
