You're joking, right?

I can't really, but someone had to say it!! just thought I'd get it in first. 'Mon the 'Gers! intae this mob tomorrow!

Do those fifteen minutes require running? If so, why sign Boyd then? Have you seen Phillips play? Judging by what he does for his 15 minutes Boyd's only requirement will be to stand in or around the penalty box and if the ball comes to him shoot. Sounds like it's his perfect role. I doubt Boyd would equal Philips' goal-rate down there. Philips is lazy now because he is getting on a bit, but I'm pretty sure he used to do a fair-bit when he was younger. Boyd has always been a lazy cunt.

Do those fifteen minutes require running? If so, why sign Boyd then? You absolutely reek of F*nian bastard You'd be wasting your time thinking I gave a fuck. First game was pre-Souness. You? As i was born in 86 so very hard for me to go off on my lonesome to games pre 90's. Anyway know loads of other teams fans whos first games were pre souness Maybe you shouldn't judge other people's commitment then. My first Rangers game was pre-Souness if that clears it up for you. I think it was St.Mirren or Dundee or some pish. All I remember really is standing in the old West Enclosure, it being freezing cold, not very busy and absolutely boring as fuck. Simply put, both teams were pish. Went to a few more after that, then no more until Souness came as I recall. I might be wrong, but I think it was even pay at the gate. I don't even remember the result, but I think my biggest dissappointment of the day was realising that I couldn't afford a 'Makaroooon baaaaaaaaaar!' as I had to keep my bus-fare.

Anyone that can't see a player in Lafferty is mental. He just happens to be the scapegoat de jour for a section of the Rangers fans and most of the media (the latter seemingly for having a go at the mhuppet Nicholas). Simple fact is, he is a right good player whose deficiencies get hyped to mythical level. Of course he makes the odd wrong pass or fails to see a movement, but the stick he gets compared to Naismith for example is insane. If you actually follow him all game and watch his workrate and contribution, you would see how effective he actually is.

You've been made to look stupid. I would desist from spouting more pish. There's a good lad. From the man suggesting we get rid of he offside rule Poor argument. Very poor.

Of course it should be sung, but there is no way that Rangers would 'sanction' it. I could see it being sung, the t*rriers/media complaining, the SPL fining Rangers or some pish and Rangers meekly accepting it and shifting the 'guilt' onto the fans (see Romania for an example). Quite simply, there is no-one at the club willing to stick thier neck out on this and see it challenged. Sad but true. They won't be happy until the entire sport is as fucking sanitised as badminton. If it was left to me, I'd bring back the songs, the enclosures and the smoking. Going to the football these days is bordering on 'the gay'.

No-one. It was all pish.

Shite analogy.

I'd say Weir is a different situation, he could sign a contract for another year and a new manager might not play him at all and he would have been better off retiring.(especially with Wilson there and Webster coming back) Boyd is part of our first choice forward line and will no doubt be no matter what happens on the manager front. Fair point, but even Weir must know that he is not guaranteed to play for a big first-team club at his age. Even if he stays at Rangers, he'll probably be used less and less. Even from a purely financial position, he would benefit from signing a contract and retiring the year after? Weir's family are still done south I'm sure so probably from his view point sitting in the reserves wouldn't be worth it. Weir will only sign if he has a big part to play next year I think. Fair fucks. Principles before money? It'll never catch on.

I don't see why this should matter? Surely a contract is what gives a player stability? Also, European Cup football looks guaranteed for next season. Most players would also regard this as an incentive. This is what I find confusing; Boyd aligns his future to Smith's, a manager that has used him sparingly in the big games/comptetitions, and has left him out of the team recently. Why would a player not sign a contract that suits himself in such circumstances? What does Boyd get out of Smith staying that is that big of an incentive?

Exactly. I was one of his staunchest fans even when most people were wanting him punted. I stuck up for him then, and to an extent, I still do. However, if he has decided to go back to the player of old, I won't miss him. If he has decided to leave, I think he could have at least signed on again so that Rangers make a few quid. His shite, half-arsed performances of late make me think he has something planned. He certainly doesn't look like a player trying to convince anyone to pick/buy him.
