    Richard Gough signed for Rangers on October 2 1987.

    Butcher broke his leg on November 17 1987.

    So he was shite for 6 weeks and then was good?

    You're all over the place.

    I thought Butcher broke his leg November 89? V Aberdeen

    He was the Scottish Football Writers Player of the Year in his second season at Rangers and won a double :lol:

     

    I felt he vastly improved when Butcher broke his leg. He then became the main man in defence and had to stand up and make that position his (Leader, Captain).

    I don't know if he felt stifled by Butchers presence, as Butcher was slightly his Senior and Captain of Rangers & England.

    He came into his own after Butcher left, and the rest, as they say is history.

    Gave away a shit load of penalties aswell, his timing in the tackle was fucking gash, improved immensely from 1991/92 onwards.

    When all is said and done, Goldson will easily be in the top ten CBs ever to play for the club. Never in the same category as Grieg or Gough, but a very good player for us all the same.

    Would rather have both him and Tav than not have them.

    Both have been terrific signings and servants to the club.

    Will need replaced one day, probably at a cost of £££ millions.

    Naive view.

    I don't think there is corruption but I do think Refs are swayed by the press and social media, either for their professional jobs or for the wackos in the filth support. If we stay quiet whilst everyone else complains, we look weak, are weak and will be trodden over.

    For example, a very quick search of ClydeSSB

    ^^ Two dubious and advantageous decisions go the filths way, one (clash of heads) never seen a penalty been given before in Scottish football. Nothing see, stonewallers, diver, move on.

     

    ^^ Ball hits Goldson arm, which is in at his chest, from less than a foot away from the attacker which is clearer not a handball by the rules, yet 'People can think that, can say its a penalty'

    My suggestion is we employ a savvy and effective PR Consultancy to do our bidding in regards to the current situation. Their brief needs to be aggressive but also wily and as cunning as a fox.

    They've probably got more glaringly obvious decisions right using VAR that would've been missed due to their liability, offsides and penalties mostly.

    Issue is when it comes down to interpretation, going from the 50/50 'tough' calls to the 80/20 pretty obvious ones, they all seem to be going in 1 teams favour

    Agree to an extent we can't go down the full blown conspiracy route but you'd be daft to think the pressure they've put on the refs through the club/manager/media etc isn't paying off now.

    Oh it's paying off all right.

    There isn't much we can do about it.

    I'm just trying to get our thinking right.

    If we go down the full blown conspiracy route we are taking our eye off the main prize.

    That is exactly part of their plan.

    Derail our thinking 

    No fucking way that can happen.

    We can have a post mortem or inquest at a later date, or employ a couple of PR guys to campaign for us starting Monday morning.

    Throw £200,000 at a PR consultancy today, give them the brief.

    That's what the papes have been doing for years.

  8. I think if we drew up a list of decisions from when VAR started of how it has benefitted us or adversely affected us, I would guess that we're still in the asset column as opposed to the liability column.

    Don't know for sure, but I hazard a guess that it has benefitted us more than it has harmed us.

  9. Let's not fall into the trap of the refs, var, sfa, soap dodgers, snp conspiracy.

    Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.

    We're largely powerless over it anyway.

    Our team and fans need to channel their energy into what we can do on the park.

    Play football, score goals, win and this title will be ours.

  10. Were in danger of over analysing and picking the bones out of every single decision made by refs or var to the enth degree.

    Football was never meant to be an exact science.

    If Hibs could finish their dinner, the penalty wouldn't have mattered.

    If we could finish our dinner, the last 5 or 10 minutes of most games wouldn't be heart attack material, regardless of referees or VAR.

    I have always thought over criticism of referees is a bit of a smokescreen to hide blatant player inadequacies.

    Well we tried and they give us Gollum for Brown coming to Ibrox as manager for first time.

    I hope someone reminds Clement who this wanker Brown is, and we go for it and get a cricket score against this wee wanker.

    Nothing against Ayr United.

    But employing this scumbag makes a mockery of their Honest Men nickname
