  1. I'd put Craigan (who managed him every day) and Jim Goodwin - a seasoned professional and respected manager - in the category of people with "knowledge of the game". (But maybe I'm in the category of "people who have no knowledge of people who have knowledge of the game")
  2. If anyone makes an offer in the summer, they'll need to match our valuation. Given how much we brought in for Kipré, and the fact the Turnbull is signed until 2021, I don't think we'd sell ourselves short with any transfer fee.
  3. Based on the timing (at least according to Turnbull's interview I read, where he was taking the Mick) it sounded like he bought his new wheels on the back of the Rangers (non) deal. However, I'm sure his agent/manager will make sure he'll not be struggling for petrol money any time soon.
  4. He'll be struggling to make payments on his new motor if he doesn't sign for someone soon.
  5. Was good to see Campbell, Turnbull, Hastie, Cadden and Scott making an appearances recently (with Semple on the bench). 6 academy products in the same team is great progress and must be a huge selling point when we are trying to recruit.
  6. The problem with that is, of course, it wouldn't be applied with any more fairness than the current rules. So Ayr Utd would lose the game and the points if someone throw a coin on the pitch, but Rangers would get a stern warning if someone threw a bullet at Neil Lennon.
  7. The one thing you can be sure of is that if it's not stamped out quickly, the footballing authorities (or worse, the government) are going to bring in draconian punishments like hefty fines or stand closures. And the smaller clubs will be disproportionally affected.
  8. So they "had it coming"? It's one thing giving the ref and players a bit of verbals at a game - it can be part of the fun (it is supposed to be fun remember?) - but there is zero justification for throwing objects at the players, or even onto the pitch. And trying to claim a player somehow contributes to it by stealing a few yards at a throw-in is ridiculous. If you get so upset by the pantomime villains at a Motherwell match that you need to throw things at them, maybe football isn't for you.
  9. Not sure we'll find better defensive midfielders than Campbell and Gorrin - tucked in beside Turnbull and Cadden and I'd say that is one of our better line-ups. As for Livingstone - putting aside the fact that we have more points (and more wins) than them, and putting aside that abomination of plastic that their manager admits gives them an advantage - if we played the tactics they play every week, I'd cancel my Well Society subscription and pop my eyes out with a spoon.
  10. Our last 4 games have just reinforced the fact that we're one of the better bottom 6 teams, but not good enough to be top 6.
  11. The only surprising thing today is people are surprised at this performance. We do this every time. Rangers could field their Walking Football team and we'd still find a way to capitulate.
  12. "Best chance ever" "Let's get in about them" "Nothing to fear" etc. etc. (taken from the script for the past 20 years)
  13. Could write the script. Start off the better team, give a way a soft goal in the first quarter.
  14. Presumably based on this article in The Herald - although, it's pretty non-commital stuff about "not a closed door for me"
  15. I'm just glad to be old enough to remember the last time it happened!
  16. Lafferty was our lucky charm for his last few games against us at Hearts. Every time he scored, we won. No idea how this will turn out, but for the record, I hate 12:30pm kick-offs.
  17. That's right. And when they go bust, they go out of existence and cease trading. Hence the old Rangers no long exists.
  18. I don't think the hundreds of creditors that were stiffed when the old club entered liquidation see it that way.
  19. Should have taken the money in January.
  20. Some players will leave. The media will link us to players we aren't signing. We'll bring in new players nobody has heard of. They will be written off by some fans after a couple of pre-season friendlies. /thread
  21. This. Plus if I'm forking out to watch the team (in person or with an MFC TV subscription), I expect to see a minimum of 100% effort to win every game and provide me with some entertainment.
