Mason Munn goalkeeper mom, Nsio and Archie Stevens stood out 👏

I found some old programmes this morning. Going to keep a hold of most of them but I noticed this one here is coming up for 30 years old. I remember I found a 30 year old programme on ebay a few years back and gave it to my mate as part of his gift for his 30th birthday. 
 
If anyone has a mate or son or daughter who's got a 30th birthday coming up and wants to stick this in give me a shout. I don't want anything for it just think it might make a nice gift for someone 👍

I just want this baby back again.....

Lammers has talent, just he was utterly ineffective with it at Rangers (and most places he has been).
Nice touches, flicks, turns are all one if the next thing you do is make the wrong pass or hold onto the ball too long.
Maybe in Holland he just has that wee bit more time to think about what he is doing. Who knows.

I often get asked if I enjoy my work as a Football Agent.

Of course, there are times when it’s incredibly mentally and physically challenging. Much like a player, but in a hugely different context.

But there are times when it’s the best, and I mean the best job in the world. Just like last night:

Benfica v Rangers in Lisbon, last 16 of the Europa League 1st leg - which ended, against the odds, 2-2 with Benfica coming from behind twice (with two gifted goals from Rangers).

Dujon Sterling, who as many know, I have looked after for 9 years since 15 years old, scored his first senior goal in 137 attempts (I’ve probably watched most of those games!) What a goal, what a new memory. An many also know, in 2020, Dujon’s career was so nearly ended by a sudden illness, that kept him out the game for 10 months.

What struck me as it went in, standing on my own amongst 3,500 delirious Rangers fans, was what it meant to so many others.

To Dujon: it was his reward for the battle he won in 2020 and never giving in.

To his Mum: a moment that emotionally rewarded her for the countless hours since he joined Chelsea at 6 years old for her love and support every step (or run) he made.

To the coaches and staff of various clubs/ England (to many to name): a wonderful sense of joy for Dujon knowing his journey and the part they played at some point. My phone went crazy as he scored.

To everyone at Rangers (staff/teammates): it’s a team effort from start to finish and a measure of the hard work put in by all.

To those partners behind the scenes (the boot companies, the lawyers, accountants, concierge, insurance, mortgage advisors, barbers, car salesman (endless list!) who know Dujon.

To the media/ journalists: you know who you are and who have never doubted his ability and spoken about it.

To the fans past and present: an unreal bond through thick and thin. Rangers love him coz he gives 100%. He is an elite talent. The fan next to me last night was drunk with a thick Glaswegian accent. Couldn’t understand a single word for 90 mins but when Dujon scored he jumped on me, hit me in the stomach and kissed me 😂 another very special moment.

To Dujon’s close knit friends, in and out of the game: you never doubted.

To my wife, family, friends: thank you for understanding and being there. Countless messages as the goal went in.

To my other clients/ their families/ colleagues: again loads of messages/calls sharing the happiness of the goal.

Football is the biggest sport in the world. It forms part of the wheel of life for so many, for most of their lives. It’s a tough workplace for all involved.

But moments like last night, make it so, so satisfying….and enjoyable 😉

Have a good day everyone. And never stop believing ⚽️ 💙

P.S. in the 2nd leg next week Benfica will experience Ibrox at its firey best. Can’t wait. ✔️
 
 

Could not give a single fuck.
The next two Sundays are bigger.
 

Swapping him for McCrorie, who Aberdeen then went on to get £2m for, really sums up the clown show of a transfer business we have been running.
 

The turnaround big Phil’s managed has been fucking sensational. 

Hopefully we get Buckie Thistle. 

Was forced to watch the whole game with 9 year old granddaughter last night. Feared the worst.
She said it will be different for you Granda no going mental.
Holly fuck couldn't help myself, anything against those backwards brainwashed neanderthals is war.
PS the granddaughter was right up there with me actually crying when the got a penalty 88mins.
She then ran into the garden after the winner shouting Glasgow Rangers 
Brilliant night.

Shades of October 1986

Hi All, 
It gives me great sadness to announce the passing of one of our own, Ben (@ben51 / @GabrielTomato / @Clemdog) yesterday. 
As you may have been aware from his posts on it on this board, Ben has been battling his demons for a period of time and sadly yesterday he succumbed to them. 
We are devastated to lose Ben. He was a funny, caring and intelligent young man who has been lost to the world far too soon. I know many people on this board knew Ben in person and will be very upset by this. 
Please hold your nearest and dearest close to you. Please reach out if you are struggling and please also ask people in your circle if they are struggling. Use the Mind Matters section as openly as you want to - something that Ben was a huge advocate of. 
Until we meet again, Ben 🫡 💙

a little twist for you to look at. I’d prefer this tbh. 

Aye I actually like it. It’s something different and it’s ten times better than that catastrophe of a fourth kit we had last year. We’ll only wear it once then never see it again so no harm done. 👍🏻

Too big a gig for Beale.
Was the brains behind Gerrard.
Fell in love with the club and licked the right nuts to get the post.
A really decent number 2.
I wish him all the best.

Can't believe it's 4 years already.
Never forgotten ya madman 💙

 
 
 

Just witnessed us beat a Spanish side!
First and hopefully not last in my lifetime.

There are lots of bars in Alcatraz, mate.

Interesting hearing him speak about his offers to go to Japan and the States

What was it in the end £8 quid for a cardboard sleeve on a pack of Dairy Milk?  

This will boost the coffers, good to see we're not afreddo a good deal. Not sure what it's worth exactly but I heard a wispa that it's definitely not buttons. Someone has clearly taken time out speak to them and extend the deal, they didn't flake out or fudge it, and as I understand clinching these deals is certainly no picnic. 
Right that'll do me

Why are we talking about selling Cantwell & Raskin? They are both just in the door. It's time to enjoy. 

What could go wrong....
