paisleyroad 894 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 this is not unusual to be honest, i'm sure lots of clubs train at the home of rivals of the team they are up against in Europe, most clubs will train in the facilities of the team they are drawn with but some may wish a bit of privacy i would imagine.The only thing that totally shocks me is . . . . . that Juve don't have a special bond with tha famous Glasgow Sellik, i thought they had a special relationship with every side in Europe?

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I would have thought that a club hoping to get an advantage in a Champions League tie because they don't believe their opponents should be allowed to train anywhere would be seen more as petty than us allowing a top class European football club to not have to train in a park.I have read some of the over-reaction in the papers this morning, and utterly despair at the desparation people have to print stories that are negative about Rangers.If the rest of Scottish football was interested in the co-efficient, they would have supported us in our UEFA Cup run, they would also have not banished us out of the SPL when Sporting Merit should have seen us be a Champions League contender (and the SFA should have lobbied UEFA stating that our case had special circumstances, and therefore didn't require the normal period of time before we could enter European competition).If the rest of Scottish football wanted us to support them in anything, they could have made it clear that they didn't want to see us go out of existence.Personally, I would be happy if we ensure that our coaches and scouts gave over every piece of information, on every player in the SPL to any club in Europe who was playing any of them and was remotely interested.

showtime69 514 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I doubt it has anything to do with 'connection' its probably just makes sense geographically, and it's the best training facilities in the country. That's all.you would think that every team that played them would use our facilities then or every national side that played Scotland at Hampdeni think the fact Souness was the Blackburn manager played a part in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammyfraserrfc 5 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Juve need to train somewhere, but i think it lacks class that A/We apparently offered the facilities and B/We somehow think its news worthy to the extent we publish it on our official site.All in all its a silly wee story that we should be above.

cammyfraserrfc 5 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 So you are saying we should act arrogantly and with a superiority complex?We should act like a club should act. We rush out a story on this, give it a status that it doesnt deserve and according to reports this morning Juve are saying they aint even sure they will train there?So what the fuck was this all about, other than making us look like idiots. Its time Green,Traynor et al to shut the fuck up and get on with making us a success again. I am sick of this phony wee publicity war, its irrelevant.

beijingtrueblue 1 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Surely this is a win-win situation for Rangers and Juve; both are the elite teams of their countries and Europe too. Why would they not cooperate in this way? This is not really about Celtic but about the status of our team. Welcome Juve to Glasgow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dan Ey 48 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Have Juve asked to use it? If we have offered it to them I think it's pretty poor.How is it poor? Forging a relationship with one of europe's giants and sticking one on the MatalanCatalan? Sounds pretty fucking great to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Will Follow Rangers 12,959 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 wonder how much Mr Green will be charging Juve for the use of our facilities?Why shouldnt we hire out the finest facility of its kind in Scotland?Juve clearly have a need for it, why should'nt we, in the name of sporting integrity and fairness offer them the hire of ours?

The_Blue_Flash 390 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Said on SSN Ally Mccoist has confirmed they have offered Juventus a place to train ahead of their CL game. It makes me laugh everyone I really hope the people at Murray Park get them told they have to win! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Surely it's 'sporting integrity' to offer a fellow football team the use of our fine training facilities and if we get a bit of positive publicity out of it then well and good.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact who Juventus are playing. Juve are a first-class outfit; they need a place to train; we have a place for them to train...da dee da dee da. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Strange that Septic fans think that we should be lending support to them in this game...........where was the support for Rangers when we were in trouble,you mhanky bassas.

Pastie 11 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm probably going to get panned for it, but the whole thing reeks of jealousy and amateurism.We keep saying we have nothing to do with that lot, yet it feels like every CG press conference mentions 'Celtic' and we have press releases offering their opponents training facilities in some thinly veiled attempt to 'stoke up' the old rivalry. Offer them facilities, build relations - that's fine. Perhaps there would even be scope to bring in some younger players on loan at some point? Makes perfectly good sense. A press release though, on our official website? Seriously?And what if Juve knock the offer back after we said they're definitely coming? It'll be more egg on our face.Stick to concentrating on ourselves, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
