  1. My first game was the Tennents Caledonian cup v Southampton 76-77ish lost 2-1 but I always remember being in awe at the size of the stadium [I was only a wee boy at the time]. Went manys a time after that, the best thing was you could stand with your mates not like now where we are scattered to the four corners, Ibrox is a much better place to watch games now but the old Ibrox will always have a special place to those who went back then.
  2. When you take a penalty and it hits the back of the net that is the only thing that matters how can scoring from the spot be classed as shite. Just a wee observation on last night, after watch the game I am still 100% convinced plastic parks should be outlawed at the top level they are dangerous, players can't play at 100% capacity on them and you don't get a true bounce of the ball yes the have improved from years ago but they are still not up to the standard required for top level football.
  3. Rob Keirnan was slated among the Rangers support but lets be honest is Cardoso any better imo no, Cardoso actually celebrated winning a tackle against a Partick Thistle player as if he had scored a goal, embarrassing.
  4. We look a very average team that is going nowhere fast, its hard to see us doing anything this season and a wee run of bad results will see us probably finishing outside the top three. I am a bit like Camshy I don't have faith in us going into any game and winning, every game is a struggle, sadly it is getting clearer by the week Peadro isn't working, for the sake of our club I wished it was working but results and performances prove otherwise.
  5. I honestly don't know mate, if Miller starts and plays as poorly as he has been, again, imo that should be that for him. You would like to think if Morelos and Herrera start the morra night and produce the goods the manager would go with them on Saturday. Your guess is as good as mine.
  6. Miller will start on Saturday. Imho this looks like a season too far for Miller we should be thinking of replacing as soon as.
  7. Tomorrow is a must win game we need to get the semi's. Saturday is a different matter, I think most Rangers fans know we wont win the league as much as I would love a positive result against them we are running for second place we need to keep as close to the sheep as possible then over take them second is a must this season.
  8. Partick will make a game of it at this moment in time I would take a 1-0 win.
  9. Taking the likes of Speirs and English to court and suing them for every penny they have for years of lies would send out a message. Its the same gang that have been pumping out this rubbish consistently over the last 5 years and they ain't letting up anytime soon time they were silenced once and for all.
  10. If you remember mate part of the 5 way agreement was a signing embargo for one year, if you remember Rangers challenged it in court and a judge ruled they had no authority to impose a signing ban, but they insisted anyway and Rangers had to agree to it or we weren't getting a liecense. So there's one rule they broke that I can remember of and I dare say the 5 way agreement has a few laws broken.
  11. YOU CAN BET YOUR LAST PENNY THAT RANCID STATION WILL TRY AND RIP INTO HIM AND SKEW EVERYTHING HE SAYS.
  12. They are holding us back time they were dropped and used as squad players.
  13. If Jimmy Smith's goals from the war years were to be included McCoist wouldn't be Rangers all time goals scorer, just me being pedantic.
  14. I just can't listen to him any more same as Warburton towards the end of his time with us, so disillusioned with Rangers just now I didn't expect us to win the league this season but I was expecting more than what we are seeing. Pumped out of Europe by a pub team and trailing by 5 points after 3 games and if truth be told it only looks as if it will get worse.
  15. I haven't read through the entire thread and I have no intention to, all I will say is we all know what the Lurgan bigot is, always has been and always will be. One thing we mustn't allow to happen is Lemon's antic's masking the worst refereeing performance I have ever witnessed, I still say Beaton should be hounded out off the game its every time he is in charge of us something sinister happens Rangers must end this guys career he is an out and out cheat.
  16. In the region of £1m so that will 600k then. Don't mind selling him as long as the money is reinvested back into the team we still need a 25 goal a season striker.
  17. You and me both aye it was a poor miss from Miller and would have put us easy street, but knowing him he will come out a bag a wonder goal next week.
  18. Its all if's and buts...................imo if we hadn't got into the mess we did McCoist wouldn't have lasted as long as he did, we had a team full of internationals at their peak, there's no way they would have won 6 on the bounce.
  19. Broonaldo can't help himself bud there's not a game against us he doesn't try and hurt one of our players having watched or been at the games he has one nasty challenge every time we play them, I doubt there's a game against us he hasn't been booked in and if truth be told he should have seen red in a few of them.
  20. To be fair to Windass mate if yon one he ran the length of the park going by 3/4 Murderwell players and curled it off the far post had went in you could have given him the goal of the season award there and then. Overall I am delighted to come away from today's game winning there are a few positives but what we need to realise is we are far from the finished article still players to come and go over the next couple of transfer windows, no-one is going to lie down to us we will need to scrap for every point. If Dorrans keeps up this level of performance I would say we have the best midfield player in the country, which means the Lego-eater will try and do him the first time we play them............watch this space.
  21. Football is a sport the second you take the competition out of sport it doesn't mean very much. The mhankies have won a dead league for the past 5 years everything was stacked in their favour they had the league won before a ball had been kicked, even the bookies wouldn't give you odds on them it was so one sided. All of world football knows their recent titles mean hee-haw as it was a foregone conclusion hence the reason the likes of the English laugh at Scottish football it has been a one team league nobody takes their titles as any great achievement.
