Should 'disabled fans' not be represented by someone who is physically as opposed to psychologically challenged?
You should be ashamed of yourself with nonsense like that.

You're getting boring going on about this all the time. Let it go, before it eats you all up inside.
Maybe it has done so already?
What has? On about what? My club wasting tens of millions? Let that go? I don't think so.
well going by your method of rounding up. That's a 30 million jump to 100 million. So you could flip that on its head and say we spent closer to 50 million than we did 100 million... Just saying
No, by the time we return next summer, which is what i said, we will have spent much closer to £100m than £50m. That is a fact you cannot argue against.

Didn't take the green eyed monsters long. Jealousy is a horrible, horrible thing.

£100 million?
I know we have been less than frugal but don't know where you got that number.The likes of Macleod and Aird will have made close to 100 appearances for Rangers by the end of this season. Ideally? Yes, I would have wanted maybe 2 or 3 more to be at the same level. But it hasn't worked out that way. Players develop at different rates and the likes of Gallagher, McKay, Crawford, Walsh, Murdoch etc could very well make that step in the coming years. Besides Crawford they are all still teenagers.
By definition I try to be a positive person. Rather than look at the failures, many of those players I listed are no longer Rangers players, I prefer to focus on positives where I find them.
The accounts and 120 day review.
By December 31st 2013 the club had spent around £70m since Green and his pals took over and we began this journey from the bottom. Add another year and a half to that before we get out of the first division and it's not unrealistic to believe we will have spent close to if not more than £100m. It's pretty straight forward. Almost £40m will have been just on the football team, to get out of part time leagues? That is horrendous.
Our main problem, though it is one, is not players developing before they hit the first team squad, we have some decent kids coming through, it is our managers compulsive need to sign experience. From Kyle and Sandaza to Zaliukas and Simonsen. Unnecessary costly dross. There are loads of those examples. We have signed so many players in the last 3 years that we simply did not need, several of whom we actually had to let go again.
Gallagher is not a teenager mate.
I, like many others, do not see many positives. MacLeod is undoubtedly one but one positive in 3 or 4 years is not impressive, it's embarrassing. It is simply not good enough.
-
just the midfield?
No but that is the heartbeat of every team and we haven't had one for almost 4 years.
-
Dundee Utd or Aberdeen away.
-
I do like Dean Shiels but we have never seen the best of him at Rangers. Such a waste of talent though there is no way on Gods earth he deserves his £7k a week salary! Not his fault of course.
-
Well when we get back to the top tier next summer we are going to need a whole new team so you tell us, is that acceptable? We certainly can't afford one. 3 years in part time leagues, almost £100m spent and next to nothing to show for it. I find that abhorrent and so typical of us.
I believe we have kids currently at the club who are better than the players who get picked every week. That is my opinion. I am gutted we haven't given more a real shot at the first team.
-
I had 3-0. Thanks Simmo!
-
The likes of McKay, Crawford, Aird, Perry, Macleod, Hegarty, Little, Hutton, Mitchell, Naismith all made a significant amount of appearances in the first team over this time.
Most of them are not even youth players. A couple are almost in their mid 20's. There is also a huge difference between significant amount of appearances and a chance Albear. Most of Crawford and McKays apps were from the bench, minutes here and there. Naismith and Mitchell did not get a proper chance.
-
A few minutes here and there is not a chance. In 3 and a bit years as manager, 2 have had a chance. The average age of our favoured team in the bottom tier was around 28, in the second bottom tier it was the same and this year similar again.
You are bumping your gums about a kid getting on for the last 5/10 minutes tonight ignoring the fact our more experienced players were all injured, that was the only reason the kid was there, in fact the manager favoured playing a midfielder up front(according to you) instead of this young striker.
-
Says here Phil Maher. Or were there two?
Does it matter who it was? We should be thankful that we have fans who care so much about the club that they are willing to go to such lengths. Trust this board at our peril.
-
As easy as predicted, now give us Celtic.
-
How can we criticize Ally if we can't see or hear what's happening?
Plus this forum being as slow as paint drying doesn't help
The line up, the result atm, the descriptions from the pundits, the possession stats.........
-
Any links to video or radio?
-
Is William Paterson not who keeps reporting the board to the police?
You mean looking out for the clubs and fans best interests. Every Rangers fan should be demanding an investigation into what these parasites are upto with our club.
-
Spoke to a guy who goes to Airdrie games (a tim). Hes impressed with Gasparotto. Obviously hes not going to be a world class superstar, but he looked well above the level hes playing at. According to him hes no less a player of Moshni or Zaliukas.
Halkett is better than all 3 and should be in our team every week.
-
I know what you mean but, if it hadn't been for him, we'd have lost all 3 points on Saturday.
I know mate, i would play him every week but then i recon i could get more out of him.
Disagree, official site is saying Shiels is a direct replacement for Clark and will be partnering Boyd in attack, I'm not even sure what Shiels best position is but he is also listed on the Rangers squad list as a striker.
Does Ally write the official stuff on the website like? Shiels isn't a striker nor do i expect him to play up front next to Boyd, i think he will most likely be in behind. Shiels best game for us was at left wing where he was able to run at folk and cut inside. One and only time he played there i think as well.
-
How is it 4-5-1? Anyway with the player options we had not much choice and I think it will be 4-4-2 with Shiels up front with Boyd though I would have preferred Temps to start instead of Smith.
It's the most obvious 4-5-1 you are ever likely to see.
-
Templeton is so badly treated.
The kid doesn't help himself sadly.
-
Would you rather see Daly and Boyd upfront featuring long balls for 90 minutes like Saturday?
Boyd and Daly together(though i would prefer young Hardie thrown in), yes but no long balls. It will still be long balls tonight upto Boyd himself, a man who cannot play on his own up front and rarely wins 50/50 headers to hold the ball up.
-
4-5-1 A clueless shitebags line up.
-
Delighted for my friends William and Alan. Well done guys.
-
Delighted to see Alan Harris and William Paterson both elected. Fantastic news and wonderful additions to the board. Well in lads.
I know we have been less than frugal but don't know where you got that number.

Yes i do, we all do. A few journalists as well as his agent let it out.
