  1. Love it. That is passion there. Let the players respond.
  2. When Bill Shankly handed over to Bob Paisley, he said that a monkey could take over the team and still carry on winning. It was hammered into the players...they were invincible at that point. Even up to the point Fagan took over. The continuity carried on, for years. What Pedro has said was that the players has a game plan that lasted right up till the point they got on the pitch. Then it failed. I have to take his word for it. Plenty are happy to see him fail, and watch him and the team fall on their arses. The worst thing is to lose the dressing room, but if players are fucking it up for him, then they are to blame.
  3. Superb article about him in the Mail on Saturday. 'Half the players today will have no idea I even played the game.' Trouble is, half the fans of today don't know about him either. Souness was a legend when he arrived to manage us. At the time, Liverpool were a legendary team, and there was one question that everybody asked about them...What is their secret? It has never been truly answered, but I think Souness reveals it in this article. It wasn't a physical thing. Everyone must have assumed there was some mystical training technique, or some other secret recipe that they had tapped into, yet it was so elusive for other teams, except for the great ones. And yet, Souness reveals that it was 100% in the attitude. They weren't over-coached or over-trained. In fact he said clearly that in some cases, they were given no tactics at all for a match. The secret, that was bred into them, was a never say die attitude, and that was what Shankly had instilled, and it lasted through various replacements. 'I don't know how you say that to players — because when I played at Liverpool, it was the opposite. We were made to feel unbeatable.' 'I don't know how Jose Mourinho gets that message across to his players. You know the one I mean. At the final against Ajax; at Anfield last week. "We're not good enough to take them on in a game of football. So we're going to go long and stay behind the ball." 'I don't know how you say that to players — because when I played at Liverpool, it was the opposite. We were made to feel unbeatable.' Souness had a German shepherd called Jock during his time at Anfield. His friend, Bob, was a dog handler at Walton prison. Souness used to run for Bob's dog, with a sleeve, to train it to attack, and Bob repaid the favour. 'And at Liverpool we were like that dog,' he explains, 'because at the end of the training, it was essential that you walked away, as if you had lost. 'The dog had to win, because it had to be trained to believe it was invincible. Every time. It could never be beaten. 'And that was us. Before each game we were told, "In that dressing-room across the corridor, it's the biggest game of their season. It's not the biggest game of your season, but if you are at it today and play, there is nothing in this game for them". That is clearly not an easy task to attain, but it looks like the ex-Liverpool fucker across the Clyde has tapped into it. We need to get that attitude into our players, before they develop a sense of inferiority before they even get on the pitch.
  4. It is bizarre how we feel that we are deep in the shit, yet only 6 points off the top. Away form nominally netter than home. Hampden excepted. We did miss a few yesterday, shots that went just wide, which if they had gone in would see a different complexion today. We are lacking a bit of confidence,. and a wee bit of luck would not go amiss. When refs are also taking the piss, that adds to our woes, but we pick ourselves up and get the fuck on with it.
  5. ...not because he is good, but because he is lucky. and right now we would take lucky over good if it pushes us on... https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=01e_1508745380 PS...his name is Sum Go In.
  6. A strict interpretation of the formbook would give a strong impression that we are shite.
  7. Wow terrible. For all the abuse we have rightly given big Terry, that is shocking for him and his family. And for us too, because he was a giant for us in his day. The fuckers got into his head and turned him.
  8. Well, if you are going to extrapolate form that one's alliance based on their reaction to islamic terrorism, the conclusion must be that anycunt who supports/excuses/covers up/defends any form of islamism is a far leftist. And that is probably not far from the truth. New Red Labour is pro-islamist. Tells you all you need to know.
  9. I think you mean censored....to censure them they would first have to acknowledge them. And that is anathema to the MSM bastards.
  10. You are conflating two issues here 1: the change in money paid to teams for TV rights, which has bypassed Scottish football and 2: the attempted assassination of Rangers Football Club, by enemies, where we had a team competing to get into the Champions League proper one season, with a team full of International players, yet one season later we are playing in the lowest division in the land. They fucked us, good and proper. No one has had the balls to go full on into digging up exactly how, who and why the tax investigation started and how it led to the near destruction of the club. Would never happen to any other major club.
  11. “Unfortunately during my managerial career, I didn’t have any players that were any good!”
  12. True...there was speculation for a while after the final that we might still be in with a shout, as there was talk of replaying the final with us in Marseille's place.....however, I think the sheer implications were too big for Uefa to handle. Taking the trophy off a team, and then rescheduling the final again. Fucking shame they didn't. Closest we ever came. And now we're getting caned by Luxembourgers FFS.
  13. I was there. although it ended a draw, we left that place absolutely bouncing. We had to walk back through the Marseille fans as our hotel was out past the stadium. They just looked a bit stunned. I think if we had won, we would have had to head off with the rest of the fans as they would have been hunting us.
  14. Just leave town. Leave the computer and all access codes for it behind. Never go back to it. This nightmare will fade, eventually.
  15. Maybe that was him ripping the cunt out of them? That would make sense, and only that would make sense.
