  1. Voted by their peers. So it may be a confident foreign manager playing better football than everyone else, on a much smaller budget, isn’t particularly liked by certain old school managers throughout the country.

    Not a massive surprise.

  2. Does it get any better sauntering into an office with a number of Rangers fans who said to me last week “not worried about Sunday…. We can blow anyone away at home the way we are playing”

    if only I were able to smoke cigars in the office…. The smugness is oozing from every one of my pores

    I hate Hearts and I mean hate them but im glad they just scored again!!!!!!!!!

    Likewise… I personally can’t wait til our game with them at fir park. I fully expect to beat them. If they win the league (doubtful) fair enough but I’d love to screw it up for them and McIness in particular

  4. Absolutely felt it in my bones this morning we’d win. Destroyed them first half and struggled a bit in the 2nd half. Great bottle to get that winner….. get it right fkn up them. Their fans were like snow off a dyke as soon as the 3rd went in….. I think they do do walking away.

  5. Quite a good result for us yesterday with Celtic winning. Rangers will be under a bit of pressure to win and their fans will be edgy. If we can keep them quiet and nick a goal they’ll go into full meltdown.

    My morning of game positivity is strong….1-0 Motherwell.🤣

    Just new to site. Ancient so expect many Ancell babes references and tales of horror and heroic failures particularly against Sundau's opponents. Feel we have lost a lot of zest recently and clearly see a Slattery effect in how our games are refereed. Hoping for a return to earlier control levels at the very least

     

    Welcome to the site. It’s a real balance of people who are quite positive and people who expect and predict we are beaten in every single game.

    I know all about the ancell babes and I can still rhyme off the 1951 league cup winners and 1952 Scottish cup winning teams by heart as it was drummed into me as a kid but my earliest memories are the late 70s so I missed the boat watching the ancell team unfortunately.

  7. I did love ONeill as a player. I’ll never forget him trying to run off a broken leg. I’m sure it was against Hibs at home. Good player too.

    i met him once just after he stopped playing and he was ok but you could tell he was nuts. He had that Northern Irish 70s/80s real bitterness about him and that “I could snap” at any moment persona.

    I suppose it’s a product of environment. Always a cult hero though.

    Could be that he's in a better mental state and feeling more confident playing back at home? I know we all tend to just think that success or less-than-success (I don't want to call it failure) is purely footballing, but being halfway around the world with family and friends in a different timezone can play a part. 

    If he's happier out in Australia there maybe isn't much point in bringing him back. 

    Yeah, I agree. As long as he continues playing well and scoring goals over there then hopefully we can recoup some money if he does sign permanently with Sydney.

    im also not convinced their league out there is any worse or better than the SPL. The games I’ve watched looked decent. Standard is ok.

    Looking  good at the level hes playing at is all well and good but he had the chance to prove himself at premiership level on numerous occasions and failed, he will be gone permanently over the summer.

    I disagree he failed. He scored goals and was a good player. He was in my eyes anyway. 

    Nothing wrong with us disagreeing though.

  10. I wouldn’t touch Bailey Rice, I’m afraid he’s just another promising young player whose career has been killed by the old firm. I’ve seen nothing in him (and neither has Rangers) to say he’d play regularly at SPL standard. OK he was clearly a talented youngster but the world is full of these talented youngsters who don’t make the leap to become a good pro player. 
    it’d be too much of a punt to take him on and I presume pay a good wage to and treat him as a project.

    Happy with that result today. Keeps Falkirk 8pts behind with our goal difference miles better.   5th will get you into europe if sellik win cup which I think they will.  Gives us safety net if hibs catch us

    Likewise, I’m reasonably pleased with that. It’s between us and Hibs for 4th now.

    I actually fancy us at Ibrox with Slattery back and a few others back to fitness. Rangers at times today were absolutely appalling.
