Keevins isn't shite at his job though, he's very good at it. His job is to generate interest in the show, get people phoning in, raise levels of participation. He does that in spades. Anyone can see that he makes these outlandish claims because he knows that he'll antagonise people into calling in to argue with him. After the first game on Thursday there was actually people phoning in simply to ask when Keevins would be back on so they could ring in and talk to him! He plays both sides of the Rangers & Celtic divide like a well tuned violin, so he does. He has both sets of fans believing he's "secretly" a supporter of the other, and he knows exactly what to say and when to say it to send either side into a tizzy. Him saying that Rangers would romp the tie had fuck all to do with disrespecting Motherwell, and everything to do with getting the green side of the numpty divide to go mental and be queuing up to phone in and say "told you so!!" if we won, and to prompt Rangers fans into agreeing with him. He's probably the one old school journo who's actually evolved and knows how to play the media game.

Among other things, that may be down to the new yoga classes that the management team brought into play (and which caused a fair few laughs among some of our support). Whilst Yoga may not be a pastime of many in North Lanarkshire, it can't be denied that the people who practice it are in phenomenal shape usually, especially if they're actually athletes.

Fucking hell, i'm not buying that. Surely not, unless he's coming in as a coach or something.

That's a good point. I'm a little disappointed that he chose to fuck off at the first available opportunity if i'm honest, but the £500,000 odd that we're apparently getting does soften the blow a bit.

Erwin's situation has unfortunately come along just a bit too soon for our new ownership to get a handle on it by the looks of things.

I could actually feel the anger and frustration seep through my computer screen as I read through that!

Did anyone see any Well Society material or suchlike when they were entering or leaving the ground yesterday? Surely there must have been leaflets, advertising or something when the fans were going to be in a great mood and feeling positive?

Looks like Erwin may be headed to Leeds.

According to Stephen McGowan, the Daily Mail chief football writer Erwin is set to sign for Leeds United.

If he'd turned around and shoved Erwin back or told him to f*ck off (again), then fair enough. But aiming a kick and a punch? Nah, that's not on. I heard he tried to continue his shite outside the stadium afterwards.

If Laing moves on this summer the boy Mohsni is available on a free transfer

Glad to see people are finally seeing sense and realise that he really needs a summer to offload some players and make some proper signings before we judge him.

Those two games come second only to the '91 cup final for me. Fucking fantastic.

From what i've seen it really is a mixed bag. Some of them think we were lucky, some of them think that they'll come back and roll over us in the 2nd game, some of them think they were terrible and that they can't come back, and some are just so angry and shocked that they can't quite comprehend what happened.

To be fair Madden had a decent game last night. I was fully expecting some dodgy decisions but none were forthcoming.

How would you feel if we were taking a 3-1 lead over the likes of QOS, Hibs or St Mirren back to Fir Park? I bet you'd be pretty fucking confident of us at least avoiding a two goal loss, right? No different here.

Of course it is. The media kept banging on about how we hadn't won at Ibrox in 18 years, knowing fine well that the majority of those losses came at the hands of a completely different club financially than they are now. They are only Rangers in name. They're a Championship side sprinkled with a couple of past their prime ex-Rangers players.

A goal in the first fifteen minutes will see them crumble, leading to us winning at a canter. I'm going for a three or four goal win, with them possibly grabbing a consolation.

George Long. He actually looked like the 'keeper that he's supposed to be.

I can't be the only person who wasn't all that surprised by how we took them apart surely? I'm actually disappointed we didn't get another one or two, as they were right there for the taking. As I said earlier in the thread before the game, they're a half decent Championship side, nothing more. Remove the big stadium and the infamous blue shirt and you've basically got a team that we'd expect to beat eight times out of ten.

Can you not give it a rest until next week, Steelboy? There are more important matters to deal with than your apparent dislike of all things positive at Fir Park.

I meant our media as in Scottish, not club related.

Do Celtic want a strong Rangers? They seem to be coping just fine without them to be honest.

Did anyone see the press conference with Baraclough and McManus? Fucking hell, our media is cringeworthy. Asking the manager if it'll be the realisation of a dream or something like that to stand in the away dug out at Ibrox and suchlike! Fucking hell man! It's not Real Madrid we're playing!

Aye, I'd kind of forgotten about them for a bit, never really been one to follow their progress or anything like that since they dropped down, but this past week has certainly been a reminder as to why I fucking despise them. Us beating them followed by their Mike Ashley-led financial implosion due to another year in the championship would be just what the doctor ordered.
