  1. Trouble is we have form for squandering chances to rebuild.  Those seasons in the lower leagues were an ideal opportunity for a fresh start.   What happened; we played the likes of Jig (to name but one), week in week out.  There are frightening similarities between now and then.

    I dont believe there was any footage of that penalty. I remember asking on a facebook group and was told there was none.

    I remember being down at the very front of the Rangers end that day. The penalty was scored into the Sellick end, Must have been January 69?

    1969 was certainly a 1-0 with a John Greig penalty on about the hour.  My first and unforgettable.

    Truth is Barton's a cunt.  If there was any possibility that his behaviour was anything other than cuntish then there would be no way he'd have accepted all the punishment levied his way without challenge or more being made of it by his representatives. Whatever your opinion of those that run the club are, at face value they've handled this the only way they could...without caving in and letting Barton behave like Billy big bollocks. 

    That's right but the amazing thing is that despite his history he was signed in the first place.  With money tight whoever thought it would be a good idea to take a chance on someone with his record?  Unbelievable.

    The betting hearing is on 17 November. If found guilty and fined by the SFA the board will probably have grounds to dismiss him immediately for gross industrial misconduct, despite the fact that previous players were not. That's my take on why the suspension is continuing (if it is) and would save us money in the long term. 

    I hope you're right because we must look like a real bunch of idiots by now.

  5. For all the good that MW has done you do have to question his judgement.  Unfortunately like so many other managers his ego let him down with Barton.  He thought he would be the one to change the leopard's spots, but they never do.

  6. How anyone who watched the performances since the semi thought we would breeze through this league takes some understanding.  Warburton is "credited" with being stuborn re tactics etc.  Could it be that he doesn't actually know any different and this is the limit of his skills?

    A. He was sent home (unofficially) to reflect as the manager didn't feel his words were appropriate 

    B. The as yet unidentified leak went to the Newspapers. All we know for definite is that only Rangers employees knew about the incident.

    C. JB Stated on his twitter feed and before his interview with the media that his actions were "To respond to news reports circulating" He was defending his reputation. (Was he told not to?)

    The guy was thrown under a bus by the leak.

    Those who live by twitter die by twitter.

  8. I wasn't exactly delighted at the Mojo or Gazza signings but was proved completely wrong as they were both outstanding players for the club.

    Barton is completely different and was never anything special in the first place, except in his own mind of course.  He seemed to be an odd signing for Warburton who, I assume, felt he would bring something to the team.  No-one should be surprised by this latest episode and the sooner he moves on the better.  He will no doubt fill the twattersphere with all kinds of crap but thankfully most people in the UK  already know what a pretentious prat he is.

    I'm more than ever convinced that he knew he'd be found out in the EPL and saw a berth at Ibrox as a wind down to retirement.

  9. Couldn't get a ticket and hate watching scum games on the tv so  went to the Warriors v Leinster game.  No segregation, alcohol freely consumed in the stands, no police presence.   I wondered why football  supporters couldn't be treated the same.

    Then I heard about the toilets.

    Then I came on here.

    Now I understand.

     

  10. As things stand I'll be pleased with a top four finish.  What we're seeing now is just a continuation of last season and I'm tempted to think MW isn't as good as we first thought.  As for Barton, anyone else would've been dropped after two games.   I didn't want him and still don't, in fact it's been embarrassing seeing the way some of the support have been creaming themselves about a player who was once loosely on the fringe of the international scene but who otherwise is no better than dozens of other players down south.  Maybe he thought Rangers would be an easier ride than Burnley in the EPL.

    And no I'm not in a panic but blind faith isn't going to work.
