VladimirWeiss69 833 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If we want to challenge the Tims we need to beat everyone else consistently and let the old firms take care of themselves. Far too many times last season we either drew or lost stupid points, to teams we should be beating! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two of their standout players look like theyre off and their new head of recruitment is a dud who may struggle to replace them with similar quality. Their manager has a track record of failing in his second season and they won't carry last season's form throughout next season. And to be quite honest, they are nowhere near as good as some want to think they are. We've brought in a good manager who has massively improved our squad with his signings. Brought in players who have won titles elsewhere (Alves, Pena) and others who are highly-rated, not to mention the captain of 'Scottish football's new second force'. Nonsense. They finished 40 odd points ahead of us, and we've added a handful of players that we largely know fuck all about (aside from Alves who's 35, and Jack). They still have their strongest players as it stands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew fuck all about Mols, GVB, Jelavic before they came here but they done no too bad. AS it stands, they do still have them but Id be surprised if that's the case come september Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the board need to be applauded for our signings, but they're not exactly 'blue chip signings'. It's all on the cheap. Before I'm shot down, I don't think they have any great team, but they have 'seasons' over us where as we're rebuilding from scratch. Hardly all on the cheap Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for hoping and wanting, but I can't see how anyone can genuinely argue that our squad is stronger than theirs - unless of course you were just trying to gain favour after your brutal drop in popularity following your recent career move and subsequent opinion pieces.

Aye, that's it. I expect Rangers to win the league so some folk I've never met, nor likely will, like me on an anonymous football forum. Although, I'd say there was a brutal drop in my popularity.

You've pedalled that out a few times, yet you continuously post links to your universally disliked blog for a paper that's widely considered as an absolute gutter rag by the Rangers support. If you couldn't care less what anyone thinks, why do you keep posting it and attempting to justify it when it's subsequently widely condemened? In the hope of gaining additional hits, which funnily enough would only come if people actually liked it or you. Anyway - totally off topic. It's unrealistic to consider our squad to be superior to theirs. We've done nothing to justify that view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unrealistic to consider our squad to be superior to theirs. We've done nothing to justify that view. Continually - 3 times. Why wouldn't I promote my work somewhere where, despite the protestations otherwise, there are quite a few who do read it? Why wouldnt I post it somewhere where a number of the posters on here have asked me to continue to do so as they enjoy my stuff? The title is clear on my blog posts (I always put the name of where its posted in the title normally) so if people don't want to read it then all they have to do is avoid the thread with the title 'Record blog' in it. For some reason though they dont. They might be considered a gutter rag by the support but by fuck do the Rangers support read it and comment on it and even buy it.

Bristoe1872 2,650 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I noticed the tarrier blogger has responded to your piece with the usual "our first ever title" stuff. Would love if in your next blog you brought in the UEFA SPFL SFA ECA ASA etc etc websites,indeed I have no idea why your employers even allow this sort of lie to be published,it is after all an attack on not only the club but the long and illustrious history of the club,the rhecord itself acknowledges the club is the same " Rangers will this season be playing in the Scottish Premiership, having won the Championship. The club has claimed a host of trophies, including a world record 54 league titles and appeared in four European finals, winning the Cup Winners' Cup in 1972" so why does it allow this nonsense to even be printed?

Tbh, I've not read it. Someone tagged me on twitter in one of the tweets. At a guess they'll let it slide because it's a 'fans view' rather than actual mis-reporting of facts. I'll have a wee nosey at it later and see what he had to say but I'm fairly comfortable that, if he felt the need to respond to it, he's feeling a bit rattled. ? Edit: just read it there and didn't see anything about it being our first title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
