    Login in to your account and the tickets will be sitting in your basket. I paid for mine earlier on cos apparently the money won’t come off your bank account automatically as it usually does.

    TO guy told me it would come out on Monday when I was paying my ST this week. 

    That said it is our TO so anything could happen. 

    It'll come out automatically - buying online just costs you an extra £3 for online booking fees. I bought mine online as I had the money in my account and something else is due to come off on Monday. 

    If you've not got the money they apparently try it again later that day, then the next etc until tickets go on general sale. (Ticket office told me this.)

    Knew it. Cheers. That linesman should be sacked. I was in the main stand, level with our half's centre circle and could see it was on. That guys a professional and was giving bizarre decisions all game. 

    It's not just this linesman - how many officials are actually competent? Morelos get sent off against Aberdeen, even though the referee didn't see the incident; the linesman who told him it was a straight red later told the SFA his view was obstructed. Later that game Stevie May blatantly assaulting Ryan Jack is missed. Today, a linesman who is yards behind play makes a guess that Morelos is offside - he's clearly not. 

    And that's just from our games. Neil Lennon and Steve Clarke have been correct to question the standard of officiating, just like Gerrard was. It's absolutely dire, and has an effect on results. 

    From Dundee's point of view today, why was Clancy so keen to flash the red for Miller so late in the game? He let Dundee players off with worse when there was still time for them to get back into the game, so where's the consistency? (I'm not at all sympathetic towards Miller there, just criticising Clancy.)

    I don't think Boyd actually wants Morelos to fail, so much as he's hyper critical of Rangers strikers due to expectations (unless it was Kenny Miller). It's a bit rich as he stole a wage during his second stint, but that's that. Unlike Michael Stewart etc, when we start winning trophies again he'll speak more positively of the team. 

    A proper farewell for Kenny - Barry Ferguson

    Wouldn't have considered Miller a Rangers legend even if he'd left in a different fashion. He showed the good and the bad in his third spell; stole a wage for most of the first season under Ally, two good seasons and then a final one spent trying to undermine (admittedly hopeless) managers as he wanted the job himself. As much as he may have been right about Murty, was it fuck about being unhappy about standards slipping or however Keith Jackson wants to spin it - it was about himself. 

    As for deserving some sort of heroes welcome - why? He was paid well during his last stint - very well considering two of them were in the second tier, and he barely bothered his arse for the first.

    The day the snp had Janette findley advising a committee on what exactly was sectarian and decided upon her say that fenian was sectarian and h*n wasnt was the day we should have woken up, far too many scoffed, they didnt care about being called a h*n and mocked those who did, completely missing the point.

    Exactly. Politicians have made "fenian" into a sectarian insult - the only folk who should be offended over bring called that are unionists, as it's (modern) meaning is rooted in Irish republicanism. There were Protestant republicans, just as there were Irish Catholic unionists. These bigoted politicians only encourage further ignorance about history.

    The same type of folk harp on about William Wallace, and don't have a fucking clue about the wars of independence and who actually won Scotland independence. They just don't have a clue what they're on about, but know how to tap into bigotry and misconceptions.

    Scottish Parliament definition of Sectarianism (from the Terms of Reference for the Scottish Parliament Standards Committee) reads;

    Sectarian sekˈteə.ri.ən - adjective

    Caused by or feeling very strong support for the religious or political group that you are a member of, in a way that can cause problems with other groups.  In Scotland, this is particularly prevalent against catholicism and associated football clubs.

    That's rather strange, as sectarianism is purely religious bigotry. Interesting that in Scotland it can extend to football clubs.

    He's not, he's wanting a club where he can combine playing with media work.

    Combine media work with getting a far more lucrative contract than teams in league one would be willing to offer though, but aye. Probably doesn't give a fuck if he actually plays often or not.

    I'd take him. Hed be great as a back up option and he'll be able to guide some of the ýoung attackers in the youth team.

    Based on what?

    Add to that, Bent isn't trying to talk his way into a Rangers move for a few grand per week as a backup. If he was happy to mentor younger players and wasn't just after a pay day, there are clubs closer to home who would take him. He's after regular football for tens of thousands per week, and that's why he's linking himself to us.

    Like I said at the top of my post I can hardly remember 9 in a row being born in 1994 so while Laudrup is my hero and I’ve watched it all back I based it on what I can actually remember from growing up as I thought I it would’ve been more interesting than just rhyming off the obvious (Laudrup,Gazza,McCoist,Gough etc).

    Also as I said based it on ability and who I just had a soft spot for rather than how many games they played or how long they were here. 

    I wasn’t a big fan of Klos as a kid no doubt he was a great keeper but I had a soft spot for Charbonnier probably just because he was an absolute mad man and I always thought Niemi was better than he got credit for. Not saying Klos wasn’t great just liked the other 2

    If it was based on ability, Klos was better than Niemi. Niemi's best spells were with Hearts or with mid table English sides; Klos was an important part of title winning teams in Germany and Scotland, as well as a Champions League winner.

    But the idea is to pick players based on their Rangers careers. The tweet that inspired the thread gave the example of Piqué at Man Utd; he was a youngster there, and not the Piqué of Spain and Barcelona. Following the 'rules' of the topic, Niemi was never more than a back up for us, and Charbonnier had half a season (plus he was only signed because Dortmund wouldn't sell Klos, leading to the court case). 

    I'm not having a go at you for liking either player, by the by. Charbonnier being number two was down to how good Klos was, and I think Niemi was a bit unfortunate in terms of when he signed for us.

    Given we only have 2 recognised strikers (Sadiq, until I’m convinced otherwise is a bombscare and SG’s only bad signing as far as I’ve seen) I can’t understand why we let Ryan Hardie go out on loan?!

    Hardie wasn't going to develop by getting the odd sub appearance, whereas at Livingston he'd be playing every week for a team in which he's already settled into. (Unfortunately his injury means that hasn't been the case yet.) If anything, it shows how unimpressed they were with Herrera that he wasn't retained giving the lack of established strikers.

    Past it? His experience alone puts him head and shoulders above morelos and Lafferty squared 

    Experience doesn't stop players from becoming past it. He's 34 and has had two decent seasons, in terms of goals, in the last six.

    He was a very good player, but he was also playing regularly from a high level in his teens, and his best days have come and gone. Absolutely no way should we be signing him.

    I can’t believe there is no love for Trevor Steven on here at all. Cracking player.

    Cannigia and Wilkins would have walked in to most World Cup squads too.

     

    If it wasn't solely for players we've seen in our time as a supporter I'd have Steven and Wilkins in; former was winding down when I first started really following football. 

    Cannigia was one of my favourites during his time with us. Totally overlooked him. I'd probably actually place him in the team instead of Jelavić now you've reminded me.
