    DJ is a prime example of how to use the loan system properly.  Bring in a young player who's underperforming or can't get a game at his parent club and trial him for a few months.  If it works out we get a player for nothing, if it doesn't work out just send them back as we did with Oduwa.  For every Dalcio there will be a DJ and hopefully Mark Allen can press on and do more of this work for us.

    Not as such. It isnt that often that teams look to loan a player out who is reaching the end of their contract, unless they know the player has no intention of renewing and it just saves the parent club wages for a period. We were very fortunate to land John the way we did. Many clubs looking to loan players to us likely have no intention of punting them free, or even cheaply, Goss being an example of that.

    Still, happy days for us, we got a half decent player for nothing. Hope he cracks on for club and country.

    The ultimate false dawn?

    Back in the early sixties we had a forward line that comprised of three 19 year olds a 20 year old and a 24 year old, age is a red herring, if they are good enough they are old enough, morelos isn’t good enough.

    but hes good enough to be top scorer in the league?

    Which lost game we talking about. 

    The hibs game, these sort of threads only open up when we get beat. 

    PS moyes is dog shit, never won anything of note and wouldn't say he'd get us fighting again, not exactly done that in Spain, Sunderland or West ham.

    Thought he was quality last night, he played a ball to morelos who headed wide, i thought hed ran into traffic but he still put in an inch perfect ball at 0-0 that had morelos took his chance wouldve been a great goal. Has his bad days but never gives up for the cause. Great player for us just now.

    None from winter but have a couple of half decent ones,  Will try and look them out tomorrow. Never been overly happy with my photos of Ibrox, It's a hard place to photograph. Very limited in the angles you can get due to the pitches and school across the road. The fact it's in dire need of some tlc doesn't help either.

    Aye I get what you mean mate, there's a decent winter pic on Google but it looks like it was taken in about 2006 on a camera phone so the quality is pretty crap, which is a shame because it's a cracking angle and the winter makes it look magic.

    Could win a league with him no bother. Look at septic, I'd say he's on par with Gordon, we just need a better more organised defence and midfield to protect him a bit more. Better full backs that actually back track and defend to relieve the centre backs would be good, players like tav and dj would be better as wingers, or to throw on as sub wing backs to make an impact when we are struggling to break teams down. 

    Fod does make mistakes, but a lot of them aren't just down to him, shite defence and midfield leave him exposed. Least of my worries moving forward at the minute

    That's the worst about the internet these days you have no chance of getting a decent bargain as it's on FB/Twitter and gone within seconds ?

    Gone are the days of stumbling accross a bargain

    not so true. I'd booked a hotel for Almere near Amsterdam, 29.12.17 - 03.01.18, 400 euros pay on arrival. Anywhere central Amsterdam was 800 euro plus.

    Had a look on Booking.com while bored at work, spotted the Hilton central Amsterdam price error. supposed to be 1350 euros, over 90% off, 150 euros for the 5 nights, in a King Suite with Breakfast included. Booked, paid, rang booking.com who told me it was a price error, they contacted the Hilton, they honoured the price, swiftly changed the price back up to over 1200 euros on Booking.com. So I'll be staying at the Hilton and eating 5 star breakfast for the vast sum of £26 a night, over the New Year. And to top it off, got free cancellation on my other hotel too.

    Alves Refuses To Be a Sub

    why is it whenever we get someone decent at the club, they are always absolute honking for us?

    Alves, Barton, Toral are the most recent that spring to mind.

    Alves, speaks for itself. 100+ caps for the european championship Portugal side only last year, still playing at respectable club level in Italy, played all over the world, so none of this doesnt know the game pish, hes played in tough leagues. 

    Barton, championship team of the season the year we got him, loudmouth twat but a more than capable player who should have walked it here. played in the prem for years, france, and in a very good championship side.

    Toral, end of the day, you dont stay at Arsenal's youth team for as long as he has, via the Barca academy, if you dont have talent and ability.

    yet they all come here, and were (or currently have been to date) dreadful. I dont think it is necessarily the player that is the problem, I honestly think we could bring ronaldo in and hed be shite as well. 

    So theres absolutely no point going for marquee signings because of late theyve never pulled through and been great for us. Thats why I reckon Mciness would be the best for the managers job. because at the sheep hes never had a big landmark signing - but he seems to get the absolute best out of what hes got and thats what we need. overperforming players that we can maybe actually get a decent fee for (god forbid we learn how to market and sell a player).

    the club needs to be looked at top to bottom to see why this is going on though, because i fear that even a manager who can get the best out of what theyve got wont be able to make much difference with how the clubs being ran, from a footballing perspective.

    when was your first trip to Ibrox?

    Surprised you came back, was at that game myself we got tore to shreds that day.

    Remember the Liverpool fans had a banner with 'thank you Rangers for your attempts to destroy Manchester' or words to that effect.  :lol:

    Haha! We did play terrible. But still was a great memory. Later became a season ticket holder which after that performance was doubly stupid ?
