  1. Just now, Ace said:

    I think it became a topic of conversation amongst the fans, particularly in relation to Morelos, so him coming out & saying something I suppose cuts out any concerns of letting them away with it.

    However, I absolutely see your point & somewhat agree with it.

    Like you I am old school (very old school),discipline not something that would have been for public consumption back in the day. Indeed I can recall The Rangers arriving team handed at park gardens, when one of our players was up on a disciplinary, changed days indeed.

  2. STEVEN GERRARD has vowed to hammer Rangers stars who step out of line this season.

    The Rangers boss has rewritten the club’s disciplinary rules after admitting he was too SOFT last term.

    Gerrard has decided on a new no-nonsense approach in a bid to end the club’s shocking red-card tally.

    He said: “I didn’t know the players well enough last year.

    “I’ll definitely be more strict moving forward.

    “When I came in I had a chat with the players and there didn’t seem to be a big problem with discipline the year before.

    “So I didn’t think that I needed to be as strict as I’m going to be this season.”

    Gerrard’s title ambitions were undermined by 12 red cards in the last campaign — five of them for hot-headed Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos.

    He insists that record MUST change if they are to mount a genuine challenge to halt celtic’s bid for nine titles in a row.
    The Ibrox boss said: “When I arrived I didn’t want to come in and look like a manager who was changing everything that had gone on before.

    “Last year we tweaked the code of conduct from previous regimes. I like the players to have an input so that they’re happy moving forward.

    “But from a discipline point of view, we’ll now be adding to it with stricter punishments for players who think they can misbehave on a football pitch.

    “It’s going to cost the team so that’s a priority of mine, to change the code of conduct in that area.

    “We understand that players are going to get booked or pick up an unfortunate red card.

    “But for stuff that’s not acceptable on the pitch, we have to improve it.”

    I was of similar opinion when Laudrup appeared mate .... just like your Dad .... another magical talent who .... like Slim .... just blew the opposition players out the park ..... then we have Gazza .... a similarly talented player who was capable of turning nothing into something spectacular.

    All in all for magic .... Baxter is my  best Scottish Rangers player ..... Laudrup my choice for best foreign Rangers Player ..... both closely followed by Gazza ..... absolute mind-blowing  talents .... each and everyone of them.

    :UK:

     

    Good points Boab, pity the usual fukwits appear and denigrate a serious subject and the memory of  a great Ranger.

    No surprise to see this, I was going to get one for this season but that's not looking likely. 

    As for increasing capacity, I am sure the structure of the Govan stand and the adjoining stands rely on the screens to help uphold it all so replacing the screens with seats isn't possible. Realistically you'd need to knock down 3 stands and replace them with a bigger structure to increase capacity. I shudder to think how much that would cost. 

    The design of the roofs prevents the corners from being filled in, the cost to rectify and make structurally sound is said to be prohibitive, it would never pay for itself, always be a debt.

  5. What company to be part of...

    The Rest of the World team that day was: Lev Yashin (Soviet Union); Djalma Santos (Brazil); Karl-Heinz Schnellinger (West Germany); Svatopluk Pluskal, Ján Popluhár, Josef Masopust (all Czechoslovakia); Raymond Kopa (France); Denis Law (Scotland); Alfredo Di Stéfano (Spain, formerly Argentina, captain); Eusébio (Portugal) and Francisco Gento (Spain). Five substitutes were announced as second-half replacements: Jim Baxter (Scotland); Milutin Šoškić (Yugoslavia); Uwe Seeler (West Germany); Luis Eyzaguirre (Chile) and Ferenc Puskás (Hungary).
