  1. As title ??

    Pedro Caixinha has for the first time hinted at his own mortality in the Rangers hotseat by conceding he could be gone ‘tomorrow’.

    Speaking at the pre-Hamilton presser, Caixinha covered his usual colourful range of topics, but very intriguingly touched on the potential length of his own tenure at Ibrox.

    While optimistically suggesting he could be at Ibrox as long as a decade (another chilling echo of something Paul Le Guen said almost to the word back in 2006) he equally admitted his time in Govan could be up in 24 hours. 

    Maybe speaking a little figuratively, the Portuguese boss said:

     

    "I can be totally clear with you about this. I might leave tomorrow, or I might leave in 10 years’ time. For sure, leaving tomorrow or leaving in 10 years’ time, the one that come after me will have the level that we delivered."


    It is yet another quote to add to the curate’s egg of puzzling comments Rangers’ present manager has expressed in his time at Ibrox, but is the first time he has referred to the potential end of it.

    He will be hoping to see the 10 year side become more feasible with a solid win tomorrow night. Lose, and the former side might just become more worryingly closer.

    lets clear this up This 3 man meeting: are you saying King, McCoist and  someone else (you tell me) sat down and had a discussion about the possibility of mcCoist returning - and that this is a distinct possibility

    Just for clarity - is that what you are saying?

     

    no, what I am saying is king/AJ/mccoist had a meeting about 3 weeks ago,some think it was about mccoist’s shares and future support, some don’t as the CoS action will be a game changer.

    There already is one - Vanguard Bears 

    but like the UKIP's and Kate Hopkins of the real world, people hate them because they tell it like it is and not the pc mollycoddled version they think they like to hear 

     

    fan groups cause nothing but division as there are always billy big boots in them.

    Should disband all fan groups and go back to supporters clubs, don’t remember to much trouble when that was the case back in the day.

  4. Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha has defended the fitness of Carlos Pena but suggested there is work to be done after the midfielder was hauled off in the Old Firm derby defeat on Saturday. 

    Decisions have nothing to do with fitness. I can show you the data that we have on a daily basis that is the total distance covered and the high intensity runs the players do. I can tell you that for a long time, Carlos is in the top three of that list. 

    Pena was substituted eight minutes into the 2-0 loss to bitter rivals celtic after looking off the pace since his arrival at the club in the summer. 

    Caixinha admitted at the start of the season that it may take a bit of time for the Mexican to get used to the demands of the Scottish Premiership, but denied that he made the substitution as a result of Pena struggling to keep up with the pace of the game. 

    The 27-year-old was put on an individual training programme at the start of the season after a sluggish start to his Ibrox career and - although he appears to have made little progress - Caixinha denied reports that he criticised the player following the defeat. 

    He said: “I didn’t say that after the game. When I was young, the boys used to call me elephant, because elephants have a great memory and I have a great memory. 

    I know what I say and the moment I say it. “I said that (he was struggling to reach the right fitness levels) about Carlos when we had the team picture at Ibrox, and I said Carlos would need to improve at that moment in time. 

    I never said it after the match. “In that specific action we identified that he needs to improve - he still needs to improve. “We know the type of player we have and the work that needs doing.” 

    However he added: “Decisions have nothing to do with fitness. I can show you the data that we have on a daily basis that is the total distance covered and the high intensity runs the players do. “I can tell you that for a long time, Carlos is in the top three of that list.” 

    Experienced defender Bruno Alves looks to haveshaken off a thigh problem and is in contention to return to face Hamilton on Friday night. 

    “Bruno after the three days he spent in Madrid, he arrived (in) very, very good (condition),” he said. “He arrived much better than he left, so he is still with the physios trying to recover. “We think it is still possible (he plays on Friday) but we need to check and keep assessing.” 

    Fellow defender Declan John has also beencleared to return after he also suffered a thigh problem and was forced to miss the derby.

    We've had the:

    RST

    Assembly

    Association

    Buy Rangers

    SoS

    Rangers First

    Club 1872

    (all the above inexplicably linked and each as toxic as the last...you see a recurring theme here?)

     

    Then we have the merchandise:

     

    Fleshers Haugh (RST spin off)

    Red and Black shirts (RST spin off)

    Lionbrand (originally donating to C1872, possibly RF previously but not 100% on that btw)

    The Loyal Standard - going direct to Dingwall

    SoS merch - went fuck knows where. Lotto and a football academy apparently.

    (all the above inexplicably linked...you see that same recurring theme here?)

     

    I've most likely missed a few, but you get the gist. People often wonder why we're divided as a support, there's your answer above. The same recurring names / cliques and toxicity.

    Not to mention the various fan groups (TBO, UoF etc etc).

     

    Is it any wonder why we lurch from one clusterfuck to another. 

    The easy pickings known as the gullible blue pound are hard to resist and there for the taking, as many have done easily.

    It comes as no surprise to be honest - just as those who paid £500 to be an exclusive member of RF were told to get fucked by our SLO once he merged the two entities.

    An out and out lying bastard who now has his much favoured position...but it remains to be seen for how much longer :happy: wink.gif

    Where does ED house fit in.

    I can't attend so I am thinking of the right question to ask by email.

    Why do we continue with 'bridge building' ? Will be airbrushed aside.

    Why are we not attacking bias in the media ? Ditto

    Why are club not doing more to support the fans ? Ditto

    Why do the scum continue to get so many tickets. Stick them in the corner.

    Any suggestions for a good question will be most welcome.

    why do you never answer emails would be good.

    I agree, do not rely on email to them. Personal experience that I will not divulge to the tim lurkers on here. 1872 are a shambles.

    1872 are and always have been always will  be no more than a board shill,people can’t say they weren’t warned.

    Go and ask whatever the fuck you want.

    The one thing I've learned over the years is that people love to do their moaning on social media platforms but never seem to appear when they have the chance to address their concerns. Baffling.

    What is baffling is that you appear to be so miffed at the asking of pertinent questions, perhaps you are in full agreement with 1872 being a shill ?

    This isn't a meeting for the Club 1872 board to ask questions of Robertson, it's for Club 1872 members to do so.

    Will they be asking about the latest working party resignations and removal of RF given promises ?

    Will they be allowed to ask ?
