Squad fillers. They're purely making up the numbers and instead of replacing them with equally average players, we've just extended their contracts. Look at our bench tonight. Asides from Hemmings who no-one knows much about, we're left with players who aren't going to change anything if brought on.

Fucking hell, so it's now McCulloch's fault for someone else's over hit pass? Jig and Edu are blamed for absolutely everything regardless of whether they played a role in said incident or not.

I can't see Sasa losing the spot he's made his own. Regardless of what Wallace does. If Wallace proves me wrong then fair play, I'll give you that one.

Hundreds of votes and not a single one for our 20k a week, new 5 year deal right full back. Interesting..

Did McCoist not have a good career with Rangers like?

The same could be said about Healy though. Which is why we desperately need Goodwillie. It's a case of pay £2mil for him or let an English club sign him.

abuse is calling someone horrible things. We're just stating that the fella isn't good enough.

We've got far too many "squad fillers". Broadfoot, Healy, Beattie, Fleck, Little, McCulloch etc. We haven't got enough top quality players. This quantity over quality nonsense is ridiculous. Spend 5 million on 3 top players and we'd be just fine! We could have Goodwillie and Cuellar for just over 4mil. Instead we're stuck with a 500k right winger (playing on the left), a back up left back and an American midfielder who isn't joining until January. Let's start filling our squad with top players rather than filling our squad with average players to make up the numbers whilst we rely on Davis, Naismith and Jelavic to produce the goods!

Can't we do some sort of buy one, get half of our squad free deal? Jig, Edu, Broadfoot, Whittaker, Healy and Kerkar please? I'll even pay for the mini bus to transport them to their new home.

FollowFollow is full of idiots. Did they accuse you of being a taig? Sniff Sniff and all that. You should have repaid the favour from the old bill and videoed them back. They don't like it but you're well within your rights.

I said this in the deleted thread. As a Sunderland fan, I know EXACTLY what Butcher brings to the managerial table. And that is very little. He is to football management what David Healy is to our first team. Likeable character who's heart is in the right place but comes up short every time.

McGregor's going nowhere. Jelavic came to Rangers from rapid Vienna. You lot go on like he's came from Barcelona and won't accept anything less than a champions league semi final. We could reach the Champions League semi final. Should Chelsea offer big bucks for him, he'd go. Our European status plays no role in who offers what for Jelavic.

We've played 2 games. The season finishes in May. Say we replace McCoist tomorrow and the new fella gets 1 point in the next 2 games. Do we sack him too? We've already had this thread once tonight and it was, rightly, deleted. In short.. Go away.

It's not like anyone reads comments on youtube videos anyway. You're comparing comments made on youtube about a drug addict to comments made direct to a cancer victim about another cancer victim. Hartson and the young fella in question don't have a choice about their predicament.

What happened during the minute's silence folks? Only turned on 25 minutes into the first game.

:lol: Love it. All those River fans that went on the rampage can return home with their tails between their legs now.

Comparing the tweets John Hartson received to the odd sikipedia joke about Winehouse is bloody ridiculous.

Clearly wasn't a fan of follow follow after his half time/beginning of the 2nd half antics. The stupid bigot.

I'd drop McCulloch and use him as back up to our centre halves. He's lacking in a football brain and looks totally lost on the ball. Which is the last thing you need for someone who's meant to hold some sort of responsibility in pulling the strings in the heart of our team. However, he does possess a physical edge. Which can be handy for a centre half. Wouldn't be first choice but if I had to choose between Jig and bombscare Broadfoot I'd choose McCulloch all day long. Edu just shites himself at first sign of anyone criticising him and/or the team. He then retreats into his shell and can be deemed useless from that moment on.

Are you suggesting that Healy deserved a new deal purely because he set up a goal in a cup competition that we ended up out of 1 round later?

I'm not a fan of goalkeepers wearing the armband mind. What's the point? They can't communicate with anyone who goes beyond the half way line. But aside from that, you're correct.

Yes. That's because Ortiz and Davis are direct, forward thinking midfielders. Edu and Jig aren't. 2 attack and 2 defensive midfielders is how we appear to line up but Jig and Edu get abuse for, at times, just doing their jobs. They're designed to keep the ball or play the easy ball. Too many people expect both Edu and McCulloch to bomb on when in position. Edu seems to fall for the pressure of 50k at Ibrox though and tends to attempt the odd ball that isn't in his make up. Cue further complaints that he's just given the ball away when it sails out of play. It's up to Ally to punt Edu or McCulloch if we're behind and in need of a bit more forward thinking midfielders. We need 1 centre midfielder who will look to get beyond the front two from time to time. Davis is your man but I'm not convinced Ally is keen to shift Davis into centre midfield and prefers having the security of two defensive midfielders.

We have 11 men in the 18 yard box and still can't get anywhere near the first ball. Naismith should be kept on half way.

Fair enough but running about won't get us anywhere. He's still a top player but from time to time, his performance (quality wise, not work rate wise) is lacking. He was as guilty as anyone tonight with his poor set pieces and weak delivery. The Blackpool friendly showed exactly what he is capable of.

Davis is one of the untouchables. No matter how many corners he pings off the first defender's head, no matter how many times he fails to hit his target with a 40 yard crossfield ball, no matter how many games he goes without scoring, it'll ALWAYS be Jig's or Edu's fault when he doesn't perform.
