The bigger picture is the boards fault, absolutely. I don't think that's up for dispute. This manager is a dud, though. I'm embarrassed every time he speaks and every time we play.

Another Rangers game, another step closer to depression for me. I miss 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011. We are beyond shite. Our manager is shite and he's spent a lot of money on a lot of shite.

The only way this will ever change is when we start competing with them. More stewards or a reduced allocation makes absolutely zero difference to the fucking about with the ball. Fucking score and fucking compete with them, for a change, and they won't throw a spare ball on the pitch when Foderingham takes a goal kick. This is self-inflicted.

Give him more time. Give me fucking peace. We will achieve absolutely fuck all under this dud.

Utter nonsense and probably an excuse to get your name on another topic title.

He spent £2M or £3M on Pena, for fuck's sake. Gordon, Lustig, Boyata, Armstrong, Rogic, Forrest, McGregor, Simunovic, Griffiths & even Roberts were part of the side/squad that struggled to the 15/16 SPL title in-front of a celtic Park with its top tier closed. They spent £4M on Sinclair, but as I said, we've spent up to £3M on fucking Pena. We've also paid good salaries for Barton, Kranjcar, Alves & Dorrans. What we need is a manager who inspires and instills confidence; Caixinha does the absolute opposite and that blame falls on the boards lap. Yes, they're wealthier than us, but the Scottish Premier League can be won without going all Abu Dhabi, for fuck's sake.

If he's going to remain here, can we ban him from speaking to the media? Every time he does, I cringe. It's role-reversal from the Mowbary & Lennon days, when we used sing "it's a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy..." Even that pish with Morelos was embarrassing. "They'll try to wind him up" which set them up to appear all respectful, but dismissive of Pedro's accusations. Then, there's the car crash with O'Halloran; "he's not my type of player", he said of a Rangers employee who had scored 4 in 4 en route to winning Player of the Month. He just needs to shut the fuck up.

I was addicted to wrestling between the ages of 9 and 12; I used to watch WCW Nitro, WWF Raw, sit-up for all the PPVs and had a little wrestling ring with all the figures. I was wrestling daft. Then, I went to high school. I discovered rave music, playing football constantly, spin the bottle, chasing birds, then smoking weed and underage drinking. I can't even watch it for two minutes now. It's aimed at the brains of children, quite blatantly. Thats why I can never understand grown men who watch it. I'm suspicious of them.

Joey Barton re-opened the top tier at Parkhead after it was closed and covered in flags throughout the 2015/16 season, for fuck's sake. That same season, Scotland was the only European nation who's highest average attendance came from a club outside the top tier; us. Give them the award.

There's something about the lyrics to Number 1 Platoon; inspiring.

Winning tomorrow would be monumental. This early in the season, a win should really see us over-take them, but such has been life under Pedro, that won't be the case. Nonetheless, defeat would leave them in a position that, under Rodgers, they haven't been familiar with. Next weekend, we play first and with a win, would over-take them and they'd find themselves in a position they haven't been in for what, 18 months? That would be their first real domestic test under Rodgers. Sadly, as desperate as I am to beat them - April, 2016 feels like a lifetime ago - I just don't see it under this dud.

This will be a baptism of fire in the most extreme sense for McCrorie. Strangely, though, I'm not too concerned. I think it's a combination of it-can't-get-any-worse and Alves hardly performing like the bulldozer we anticipated. You never know with Pedro, though. McCrorie, Bates, Danny Wilson or Aidan Wilson could partner Cardoso.

Throw McCrorie in. I thought he looked decent on Tuesday night and in all honesty, Alves hasn't shown the type of performances I had hoped. McCrorie captained our under-20s at 17, is a Scotland under-21 internationalist and from what I understand, would have featured last season ahead of Bates had he not been out on loan. On the topic of centre-halves, Danny Wilson is well and truly out of the picture, it appears.

A very, very poor Progrès turned us over, for fuck's sake. The difference is the tarriers won the first leg 5-0. Madness, honestly. It's on the verge of delusion. I'm becoming very conscious of appearing like I want us to lose - I don't - but some of the shite being spouted goes beyond optimism. It's as if no-one watched those two games against Partick.

You're just as daft as him. He's hitting out with "we can do this, PSG made them look shite" and yet you find issue with me being realistic? You're misjudging negativity for reality.

I'm suspicious of men who don't watch or like football. Many years ago, I had a manager who pretended to like football. He was worse than those who don't actually like it. He used to talk an incredible amount of shite, but no-one would question him because correcting the boss is never a wise move. He used to join a conversation about football five minutes after it finished because that was enough time for him to Google what he thought as the right thing to say.

I'll forever be indebted to Foderingham for tipping Griffiths' free-kick onto the bar in the dyingseconds of that the sem-final.

Howler, @KeyserSoze.

Let's not play dumb; that PSG side would put 200 past us over 90 minutes. In Europe, the tarriers are woeful. If they were in the English Premier League, they would be relegation contenders. In Scotland, however, they're lightyears ahead of everything, including us. They put 15 past us in 5 games, for fuck's sake. They're still unbeaten, domestically, and while we twice failed to beat bottom-of-the-league Partick Thistle over 90 minutes, they went up to Dens Park and leathered them 4-0, extending their unbeaten run to however fucking many. Pedro's side, alone, have put us through so much pain that I have zero optimism left under the man. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that points towards a Rangers win on Saturday. I want nothing more than to enjoy an Old Firm game again, but this side doesn't have it in them to beat them, in my opinion. That's why I want Pedro out.

If Herrera starts up-front himself on Saturday, I'll climb the main stand and launch myself, head first, off the top.

Pedro Caixinha in talking shite to the media shocker...

I've given you a like for this; I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, assuming you're just being witty and not a cunt.

Frustrations like these are generated by how overall shite we are. To some people, drawing twice over 90 minutes in the space four days against bottom-of-the-league Partick Thistle - one of which we scraped as they were down to ten men - isn't good enough and if you think you've done well, keep it to yourself. I'd much rather Cardoso was celebrating blocking or stopping their equaliser, but he didn't; Kris fucking Doolan, formerly of Auchinlek, was allowed to bring the ball down inside our six yard box and batter what was almost a dead ball into the net. I also recall him being at fault for Hibs equaliser at Ibrox, going to ground only for Simon Murray - formerly of fucking Arbroath - to dummy him and score. Then again, he saved us from an almost certain equaliser at Fir Park on the opening day with a last ditch tackle. My concern is that, against better players like the tarriers have, he's going to be under greater pressure. If Doolan & Murray can do him, I'm concerned by Griffiths, Sinclair, etc. This team has a long, long way to go before they're afforded leeway in this sense. Its similar to Pedro's wink to the BT Sport camera on Friday night. I found that embarrassing. You've just drawn against ten-man, 1-point-all-season Partick Thistke and you're winking at the camera?

I noticed that. I get the impression that Pedro is partial to the odd touchline wind-up. I remember he had a "touchline bust-up" with McInnes last season. Fuck him, anyway. Pedro got the last laugh in extra-time.

Foderingham, Tavernier, John, Alves, Cardoso, Jack, Dorrans, Candeias, Windass, Miller & Morelos. That'll be the starting line-up, 100%. I honestly can't bear another pumping. That'll probably tip me over the edge, so here's hoping. However, the two games against Partick have filled me with nothing but disappointment.
