No, different one. Hers was delayed and rerouted to Malaga but arrived last night.  Fair play to her.  

I honestly cannot fathom how anybody that knows anything about football can watch Goldson and not think he’s class. I’m so fucking done with people that think we’ll replace him easy, we won’t! Not only is he class, he never misses a game either.

Wilson deals with the contracts and recruitment side of things not Gerrard. 
Gerrard could mouth of all he wants about wanting big money when he was here but agents go through the club not him. 
If Wilson knew the players aren't willing to sign new deals then he needs to be working his arse off this summer to get them moved on.
We can't have key players just constantly going away for nothing. 

It's ridiculous how many he's let run into final year. 
Morelos, Kent and Aribo all final year in the summer 

He's going to be a fucking miss.
He's got a bit of everything.
I think he's massively under-rated by our support.
I watch him in Europe and against the better players he looks even better.
He's got a mistake in him. But he gives us so much in defence, going forward, leadership.
It's no coincidence that throughout the years, he's always been the 1st choice. 
 
 

His signings have mostly been disastrous.    Hagi, Bassey, McLaughlin, Balugun, Roofe, Itten, Zungu, Simpson, Wright, Sakala, Ofoborh, Lundstram, Bacuna, Sands, Diallo, Zukowski, Ramsay.   Not many successes in that list.

To be fair to wilson on this I don't think skov olsen or veerman were disregarded due to thinking that bacuna or diallo(for example) were better players I think this was dictated by finances. 
The ramsey deal was atrocious, as is the contract situations. What annoys me is he had to be stronger to demand the players sold in the summer. To allow them to get down to a year to go is negligence. 
From the beginning I didn't think gio was the right appointment however, I would caveat that with I don't think there were many better options.

The players of all teams and management have donated this sum and it could be more.
Class but expected.

Almost treble what the Dortmund one was  Cunts are absolutely at it. 
 
There should be one on every single seat for free on Saturday. These cunts haven’t given a single thing back to the fans since the curtailment of the 2019 season. They’re starting to really piss me off now.

No the players....Some of the fans. Some embarrassing posters on here declaring the league done.
You genuinely don't deserve to enjoy nights like Thursday or titles if you canny stomach a title race.

You can untwist yir knickers now lads 😅

Alfie's not going to ask not to play and nor would I expect him to. These are crucial world cup qualifiers ffs
Don't move the debate away from the key issue here - 1 football club in Scotland has benefited from moving the winter break while another has been severely impacted

Sports options showing again why they are the best about. 

Never trust the French.

Been one of our better players tonight. Stopped a certain goal with a great touch as well. 

This Goldson situation is a perfect example of why we can’t allow players to go into the final year of their deals.
The top end of our wage structure is still a low to average wage in England and we can’t compete with that financially without breaking our wage scale, as Wilson has said today. More and more players are going to start holding out to see what they might get from down south first before they commit to a new deal up here (we seen it across the city with Christie and Ajer) and that just leaves us in too much limbo to allow it to happen.
It’s poor foresight that we have allowed it to get to this position (and I’ll hold my hands up and say I was one of the one saying what he offered us on the pitch was worth more than what we would get for him in terms of a transfer fee last Summer) and it’s one we have to avoid happening again in the future.
If a player is coming into their final 18 months and they haven’t signed a new deal then we have to start making plans to sell and replace them going forward.

My tuppence worth.
Goldson on lack of hunger
The more I think about this, the more I actually think he's not quite telling the full story, and I think I get why. My view is that Goldson, in his mind, believes there are certain people who are lacking hunger (not everyone). However, he has fell short of naming them. Although he said 'we' I don't think he actually means everyone or even himself IMO. I think it's something we all say at times if we're part of a team. 'We' is the go to, and it also shows your taking responsibility when in fact you really want to just call out certain people. I fully get why he hasn't named anyone though. I think that would have been too much. Not naming anyone though and saying 'we' puts a target on everyone, and leads to a fan/media frenzy with the spotlight on everyone.
I don't actually think the whole team have lost their hunger, in fact I'm pretty certain of that, but maybe a few within the squad have. I think from the interview it seemed to me that Goldson does care. He could have easily given the cliche responses. However, after that performance and result, he's probably got to the end of his tether although it's obviously pretty horrendous to hear that the reigning league champions have players who are lacking hunger.
Goldson on the game being done
I can only presume he has said this on the basis that he knows the players who have lost their hunger and he knows how they deal with adversity, ie not very well.
As Gio said, hunger should come within. However, if Goldson has identified players who are lacking hunger, lacking of character, lacking belief, failing to follow instructions, as vice captain, Goldson, Tav, Arfield, McGregor, Davis etc, all senior players need to be doing more about that. Collectively this is unacceptable. Everyone is complicit in this.
To basically say we have given up at 3-1 in a semi final in front of 35,000 Rangers fans, in front of their new manager is astounding. I can't get my head around this. There can be no justification for it.
Goldson's contract situation
I might be one of the few but in my view if someone signs a contract and then honours their contract it's difficult to get too angry with them. He's not really done anything wrong (if he stays until the summer). Obviously it questions his longer term commitment but I think how we've handled it as a club is more of an issue.
Overall
As shit as it's been it's probably for the best it has all come out, and now, before Gio started. It's probably been bubbling for a while now. Sometimes it's best to get it all out. I would like to think everything has been discussed, openly and honestly and everyone now knows exactly where they stand and what is needed if they wish to continue with us. I think Goldson will play on Thursday and I expect him to stand up. I expect a reaction from everyone (he says in hope).

Is that a joke? Because money obviously does play a massive part. Any footballer with no connection to Rangers is always picking 4x their wage down south over trophy's up here. 
The problem, imo, was not moving these players on when their value was high to let hungrier players in through the door.

I thought he was looking at Kent but didn’t seem to be Kent kicking the ball in the drill, Barker was next to him so maybe he was pulling out rabonas and rainbow flicks…
