Doubtful that he'll be able to make the step up to this level
Not even BERWICK RANGERS are sure that he can do a job for them, but we fired cash at the f*cker for 3 years. Would make you weep.

Turning out as a trialist for Berwick Rangers tonight versus Haddington. He's finally found his level.
-
Would have never thought on looking there......
To be fair it hasn't had much use for the past couple of years. Easy to forget it's there

Yeah mate, it's in the transfer section thread.
Ah bollocks. Delete this admin.

Having a medical ahead of signing a 3 year deal.

I just can't see the board being as naive to think that McCall and Black will sell season tickets. They want 45,000.
I still think it's gonna be Warbs and Weir.
Cathro in the mix would be amazing.
I have a horrible feeling that Warburton and Weir were supposed to parachute in after promotion and rebuild and the delay now is down to some frantic negotiation on budgets etc.
-
McCall is going to keep the job. Mark my words.
-
PM actually. Works for the royal mail.

Thought we defended well tonight. Zaluskias was excellent and even Foster played well second half. Need to be even stronger on sat.
Through the middle I agree. I just thought we were so slow to close them down on the flanks. Practically screaming at the telly to get fuggin out.

Her cousin certainly is.
Is her cousin an MP?
-
Our defence is a shambles which is why McCall is right.
The worry is that he doesn't think it's a shambles.
-
Do you think Mhairi Black is an "anti-Protestant bigot"?
-
Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted with the result. But our defending worries me. We're so narrow at the back. Hibs were constantly 2 on 1 in wide areas with all the time in the world to put it in. Why can't we get players out to meet them? Whenever we were in similar positions it took some sharp passing to work the ball out. If we get up we could get murdered if we give teams that much space.

Ricksen celebrating with Novo in 2005. Brings a tear to the eye.

heyyyyyy my time machine works, it's 2 years ago!
seriously though, what do threads like this achieve. It's like people assume nobody remembers anything from ''the journey''.
Nothing like that, just shite going round my head and exiting through my fingers.
-
Absolutely. We had the chance but that ship has sailed. McCoist didn't have the courage or the managerial nous to bring them in at the start and coach them into established first team players, so he went hunting for SPL cast offs.

I'm not ashamed to say that I watched yesterday's embarrassment on TV. Long gone are the says when I would blindly hand over money to our Club. That's not out of some new-found sense of frugality on my part. I have the money, but the simple truth is that I don't trust our board to do anything constructive with it. That's one reason of course, and on its own it's good enough to keep my hands in my pockets. But what I keep coming back to is this: I can't, in clear conscience, hand over my cash knowing that a single penny of it will find its way onto Ian Black's accumulator, or into Lee McCulloch's retirement fund, or go towards a box of Milk Tray for Amy McDonald. The idea that our players clock in for 3 hours a day and spend the rest of their time in blissful isolation, cocooned away from the reality of the world with their bloated bank accounts, while many of our fans struggle to put food on the table is abhorrent. Ian Black's face as he was substituted yesterday was telling. Clearly annoyed, both at being withdrawn and at the cheers that rung down from the stands as he disappeared into the dugout. Ian Black won't have a bad day today. He'll show up for a massage and maybe do some light cardio before heading home. His week will be free from worry and he'll pull on the jersey and line up against Hibs on Friday night as if nothing had ever happened. This is our problem. There are no consequences at Rangers anymore. A string of poor performances means nothing. We can't afford to simply cancel the contracts of malingerers, nor can we replace them with anything better. Sacred cows like McCulloch are undroppable, whereas enigmatic but talented players are shunted off on unproductive loan deals, or left to languish on the bench. I remember the genuine excitement the first time I saw Barry Mackay tear off down the wing in one of our early League 2 games. I imagined that players like him, Lewis MacLeod, Andy Murdoch and, latterly, the likes of Calum Gallagher would form the bedrock of a new Rangers, a Rangers that was self-sufficient and minimised the reliance on the sort of reckless fiscal dick-waving that led us to this point. After the initial shock subsided it really did feel like the journey from League 2 would be good for us, that we'd take whatever they can throw at us and we'd come back at them as this lean, well-oiled, impeccably run club with the best young Scottish talent at the core of a footballing revolution. I honestly envisaged these players walking out to the Champions' League music in front of a capacity Ibrox crowd. I don't think that was such a crazy idea. But we've been mismanaged from top to bottom, ravaged by thieves and imposters. Ally McCoist was never the man to lead the Rangers youth revolution. He served his time under Walter Smith, a man who would break into a cold sweat if forced to rely on a player brought through the ranks. Our mistake was to believe that, following the horrors of admin, nobody would be so brazen as to run the Club into the ground a second time. Blind sentiment ensured McCoist an easy passage right up until breaking point. Hindsight is always 20/20 of course, but even from our vantage point in early 2015 all of this seems glaringly obvious. We had a once in a lifetime opportunity with our Club at a paradigm shift; out with reckless over-indulgence and in with youth-focused common sense. Now where are we? Back where we started, hoping our white knight investor will swoop in and plough millions into an inadequate and embarrassing playing squad. Plus ca change right enough.

Rhebel might be printing it, but there are plenty of weasel words in there. The boy obviously saw that they were Celtic fans, but notice how the Rhebel repeatedly uses the words "claims" and "claimed".

Anyway, I'm out. My head has a prior engagement with a brick wall. Good luck Robespierre.

Welcome to politics, you think a government in Edinburgh won't lie and fuck you over just like a government in London?
So, what, just let's not bother? Fuck that. Smaller, more transparent government that we, as a discrete, sovereign nation have elected is a better model than the centuries of accumulated bloat at Westmnster.

His football stuff aside he is a disgusting, hate filled bigot just for starters. The worst part of his part in the Yes campaign is he won't even be voting Yes because he lives in fucking England. You couldn't make it up.
So basically just fuck Westminster and go it alone regardless of how much of a risk it is? Good logic. You come across as very anti-English btw.
Again, playing the man rather than the ball. No idea how you can come to the conclusion I'm anti-English. I'm anti-BendingOverAndTakingItFromChinlessQuackingToriesLikeCameron.

If there's a yes vote and Alex Salmond gets his way there will be a monetary union and Scotland will use the Pound but the Bank of England(a foreign bank) will effectively control public spending in an "independent" Scotland can any of the Yes voters on here explain how they feel about this?
I have no issue with monetary union and a relationship with the Bank of England because it's a fully nationalised UK institution and Scotland will continue to have some representation. Exactly what form that takes is still unclear because nobody on the no side wants to contemplate a yes vote. The BoE won't set levels of public spending though. There will be some shared aspects of monetary policy, primarily the setting of interest rates. As you might have guessed from my initial ramble, I'm no economist. I can't give you every answer. Actually, at this point nobody can, because the nature of a currency union will be part of the post-Yes negotiation, just as the timetable for the removal of Trident will be. But I have no problem with continuing to have a close relationship with our neighbours, because this isn't about ethnic nationalism.
