Just read the article and you've got to be the angriest person in the world to find something at fault with it. Why does Boyd have to bring it up though ??? Why does he have to sow doubt about Gerrard's intentions with club and about the possible lack of finances etc. No need for it. He's just looking for unnecessary headlines - which he got. Wish he would just keep his mouth shut. There are more than enough people out there in Scotland putting the boot into Rangers in the media. This guy is just adding to it. As mentioned, the mhedia love guys like Boyd, Rae, Dodds, Dalziel, the Ferguson's etc. They are put there for a reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabbit247 784 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 How have we delayed something we never put a date on? For me, this is just yet another ploy to undermine whatever we may have. Unfortunately, given our boards history I've got to say may. If I say I'm going to present a report at my work, then I'm off on holiday and some other twat says I'm gonna release it on the Tuesday I'm back, but I don't. Was I late? Was I fuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,533 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Usual complete overreaction to ex-Rangers player comments. Not sure, psychologically, what drives some folk on here, but the venom reserved for the innocuous comments of a raft of ex-Rangers is something else. Feels like some folk wait like angry little coiled springs, always ready to be offended by them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is fine although to be honest it's just rehashing stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Boyd's case here I agree, but some of the stuff the likes of Barry Ferguson, Gordon Smith and Donald Findlay have been hitting out with recently is slap bang out of order. You'd think they were on Hollicom's pay role or something the way they're acting. McCoist has been going up in my estimation again though. He's been hitting the target a lot recently with his comments and on TalkSport where they have a much better audience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are ok with Boyd coming out with unecessary and speculative pish about our manager's intentions - just to add to the feeding frenzy of the tarrier led mhedia in Scotland??! Why does Boyd feel the need to spout this shite?! Fuck sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson was my idol, and probably the same for a lot of others but he’s just fucked it, and continues to do so, which is upsetting but end of the day he’s not bigger than our club so fuck him.

I think people pin too much in the way of hopes on what the TV companies might or might not do tbh.

There's been a handful of articles the past 10 years that I've thought 'that was a bit shit', yet I see people perpetually greeting about ex-player's comments. Virtually everything seems to be combed over for the thing they can be pissed off by. By and large ex-players and such like are positive, but if they don't come up with the precise content that certain folk are looking for, it's the greeting-about-ex-player routine again. Alex Rae is a good example of this. Spends most of his time defending us and talking positively about us and gets nothing but insults and grief. Supporting Rangers for some folk is nothing but an opportunity to indulge their greetin-faced nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to understand though that fans are passionate and when their club is up against it, and some of their so-called heroes toe the line of the opposition then it hurts and they take it personally. I don't think you need to look further into their mindset than that. I include myself in the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,844 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The whole country is watching us right now. I didn't see the need to assess our season telling everyone that we are trophy less. Anyway, my apologies to those who read the Sky article, you guys are semi-right. It isn't as bad as the one I read in the Record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd is clearly pro-us but stops short if being the cheerleader everyone derides Sutton as being. Christ, where does anyone find the energy to be annoyed by things like what Boyd has said there.
