See the wee woman's face in the advert below that says 33 horrifying pics taken before death., I know it's no meant to be funny but isn't her face funny as feck! She looks like she's watching the sellik in the champions league qualifiers ! 😂😂.



14 Aug 2016 20:11:19
And what's with the random hand at her side?



14 Aug 2016 20:11:49
I also like how the two guys in the background are p***ING themselves laughing! Terrifying! And what the hell is it that's meant to b attacking her?



14 Aug 2016 20:29:07
Think some 'comedy legend' has put some kind if Ray (looks like a mantra Ray) on her back as a 'joke'.

These animals are harmless (unless your Steve Irwin), whoever put it on her back is probably in more danger (of a slap)



14 Aug 2016 20:37:24
Never mind that! Look at the babe using the phone 3 photos above!
That's the best thing about this page 😍.



14 Aug 2016 20:44:03
Ahh so there s more adverts than the hot cojoined twins one, must look harder 😂😂😂😂😂.



14 Aug 2016 18:54:57
anyone take a chance on Liam Boyce? okay he's not a fancy skillful player but he can sure score goals and will be cheaper than the likes of Rooney.



14 Aug 2016 18:48:35
Just a wee word about tav was our most creative player last year in terms of goals scored and assists he played well against all the premier league we played against I know he was at fault for one goal in the cup but. he played every match last year I would say he was good in the vast majority of them people should stop listening to that big nosed x player on Clyde 1 this is the same idiot that said McKay would never cut it at rangers.



14 Aug 2016 22:47:08
Are you taking about DJ? A Rangers legend. Tav is a liability in defence. Cost us more than one goal. Let's face it, the goalie shoulda scored a couple in that Mickey Mouse league last year. I appreciate what he's done for us and am grateful for his work rate but Tav costs us big and will continue to do so against better opposition. We'll speak again after 10/ 09 to see if your views are the same.



15 Aug 2016 07:11:50
No I was talking about Gordon deizel.



15 Aug 2016 07:25:57
99% of people on here said before last season started that mckay wouldn't cut it!



14 Aug 2016 18:45:57
Would be great signing as long as we don't sell anyone to pay for him then a good cb and onwords and upwards.



14 Aug 2016 18:31:30
First time poster . I was looking online to buy a retro top Adidas 1993 just happened to be most expensive at £45 does anyone know if rangers receive any of the £45 because of the use of the badge and if not why not maybe something we should be looking at to raise more revenue.



14 Aug 2016 19:27:20
Not sure if they do, but u can get limited edition like my profile pic for £50 online.



14 Aug 2016 20:24:53
Cheers Albetz it was the home top I was looking for but when I checked price again it was £54.99 surly we should be getting something from that.



14 Aug 2016 20:46:16
That's a peach of a question mate something i'd like to know aswell, just wish i hadn't given my orange ntl top away on holiday.



14 Aug 2016 22:50:47
Monkey, I'm the same. So many classic tops given away because it was almost faux pas to wear an old jersey and not invest in s new one. But now it's 'retro'. Beeling tbh.



14 Aug 2016 17:23:37
Anyone notice that epl team with the £18 million strike force. you know the one that taught us a lesson pre season and everybody on hear raving about " not playing that calibre of team week in week out " are languishing 2nd bottom of epl. and before anyone says its only first game think of those on here ranting about being top of spfl after 2 games and leading our deadliest rivals by 1 point with them having a game in hand with partick thistle. its a long haul and let's see where we are at the mid point.



14 Aug 2016 17:56:39
What a load of nonsense. Have u been on the gut rut!



14 Aug 2016 18:03:54
Watched the Burnley game. They were unlucky. single fish again for you buddy.



14 Aug 2016 18:44:08
We beat Chelsea in a friendly a few years ago, friendlies mean sweet f a.



14 Aug 2016 18:44:32
rangers and celtic wouldn't even win the championship never mind do anything in the top league.



14 Aug 2016 18:51:09
Did you think about that before ye wrote it? Absolute drivvel.



14 Aug 2016 19:01:15
What a rubbish attempt of putting the club down.



14 Aug 2016 20:15:07
Absolute waste of a post! Plus wasted everyone's time who actually read it.



14 Aug 2016 17:14:32
Anyone who thinks Tav is a fullback who can't defend needs to have a look at Alberto Moreno.

The £12m Liverpool paid for Moreno makes Tav look like bargain of the century!



14 Aug 2016 18:22:26
Iwdawson

Do you not think its hard to compare the EPL to the Scottish championship?



14 Aug 2016 18:39:24
No, not really, Biffo. I watched Moreno today and his performance made Tav look like Cafu. Just highlights for me how harshly some people on here judge Tav.

Plus, do us all a favour and stop referring to Tav as a Scottish Championship player. He's earned the right to be referred to a a Scottish Premiership player.



14 Aug 2016 19:41:31
Until Tavernier has played a number of games in the premiership then u can only judge him on his season in the championship. I'm sorry if that's confusing.



14 Aug 2016 19:47:20
Iwdawson

Maybe it's just me but I would rate Arsenal higher than Hamilton and Dundee however if you want to call Tavenier of higher quality than Moreno who has also played in Spain and won the Europa league then fair enough but your just embarrassing yourself.



14 Aug 2016 20:16:01
It was there for all to see, Biffo. All the pundits seemed to share my view on Moreno. Also, I never said Tab was of higher quality (cheers for putting words in my mouth though) .

My point being that Tav gets pelters on here but has never produced a display as bad as £12m Moreno produced today, regardless of the level he's been playing at. People need to see the positives he brings the team.

Plus, any player who gained promotion over a season of hard graft deserves the recognition for their achievement. He earned the right to play in the Premiership and should be referred to as such. Try telling Middlesbrough they're still an English Championship team!

You clearly don't fancy the guy, which is your opinion, but don't try to play down what he's achieved so far with Rangers.



14 Aug 2016 20:51:06
Iwdawson

Take it you missed the Scottish cup final then? When a certain ex Celtic player tore Tavernier to shreds. Where have I played down what's he has achieved? As for your remark about calling him a championship player that isn't the case. At the moment you can only really judge him on what he did in the championship and can't compare him to a EPL and Spanish internationalist. As for the Cafu reference laughable.



14 Aug 2016 22:34:23
so I say Moreno's performance today made Tav look like Cafu and you want to twist my words and make out like I compared Tav and Cafu?!

Clearly no point continuing this debate.



14 Aug 2016 17:11:14
How many people have sent a post on here, then saw it coming though and tried to hit the agree button and it doesn't work! Lol . We've aw dun it . How 2 people disagree with my last post is bonkers. Must be Timothy's!



14 Aug 2016 19:02:19
Iv done it a few time lol.



14 Aug 2016 17:05:35
Just a thought (I've mentioned it before) but I thought McKay had one of his better games yesterday AGAIN when waghorn wasn't playing?
He was not tied to the left wing like he usually is and especially in the first half he seemed to have a bit of freedom.
What does everyone think?



14 Aug 2016 18:31:17
I just can't praise Mckay enough. He's got tremendous composure and awareness for such a young guy and his workrate is terrific. Glimpses of brilliance yesterday with the through ball for Wallace for Millers goal and his break late on from the left after good linkup with Dodoo - was unlucky with his finish. Thought he was a 7/ 10 yesterday, after Rossiter our best player in what was an average overall team performance for me.



14 Aug 2016 19:06:19
Wee barrie is a great prospect, I think the flack he gets is unfair at times, but everyone sees things differently, but I agree with you bill, he plays with more freedom when waghorn isn't on the park.



14 Aug 2016 16:10:07
Tav a great athlete with an eye for goal. His defending this season thus far has been very good. 4 mil or nothing I'd tell the Turks. Don't let teams think we are an easy sell. knock it back and see how serious they are.



14 Aug 2016 16:30:26
Tavernier is not the only one whose defending has been poor. Wallace is poor defensively but like Tavernier is very good going forward. If we had a good quality holding midfield player rather than Halliday and a centre back that can defend and has a bit of speed we would not have these problems. It will take some time for us to gel with the new players once they are all fully fit, then it will be a case of who is on the bench but a centre back is a must.



14 Aug 2016 19:08:47
The gaffer said there has been no interest in any rangers players, so i don't know if there is any truth to that one. time will tell though.



14 Aug 2016 15:43:36
Hi folks was just wondering what happened to this world class striker that was coming that would make the rest of Scotland go wow.



14 Aug 2016 16:00:49
The windows not shut yet.



14 Aug 2016 16:09:55
Who said anything about world class? ?



14 Aug 2016 14:36:44
People are really saying they'd take £2 million for Tav? Tav is one of our best players, his goals, assists, energy etc would make him a £10 million pound player down south. Easily. Yes he is vulnerable at times but so are many EPL wing backs! If scrubs like Johanssen, Bitton at Celtic are worth £5 mill plus to mug teams down south then I'd want at least that for him. Also I for one hope we don't sign Garner. He's too old to improve much and we have a better player in Dodoo on the bench already. Waggy is back in a few weeks too! All available money MUST be spent on a CD.



14 Aug 2016 15:04:09
Sorry I would snap your hand off for £2.5 million sort our defence out maybe a forward no brainer. tav great lad good comin forward but not a good defender.



14 Aug 2016 15:06:27
We are not in the south we are in a poor scottish league with very little quality. And 2million is a fair price for him. Especially when you consider what hull payed for andy Robertson who is twice the player tav is.



14 Aug 2016 15:15:47
£2.5 m would not sort the defence and we would be losing a player that can contribute more goals than most of our midfield and forwards.



14 Aug 2016 15:17:00
I actually think Tav has improved defensivly albeit not had the greatest of tests yet. great covering in the 2nd half yesterday when Wilson got humped for pace by Duffy.



14 Aug 2016 15:20:01
2.5 million for a player we got for next to nothing last summer is a fair price personally a would rather they knocked it back but realistically a would be surprised if they didn't take the money if it was offered that being said who knows if he would accept to say he's worth 10 million is ridiculous.



14 Aug 2016 15:40:21
2.5m for a guy we paid 200k for. Sounds like sound business to me. Don't want to see anyone leave but this is how we are going to have to do things for the foreseeable. But low sell high.



14 Aug 2016 16:34:33
sell then buy harlee dean!



14 Aug 2016 16:36:40
I think what people need to remember is he scored and set up goals in the Scottish championship, not the champions league.



14 Aug 2016 16:48:55
RFCInfinity

Difference is those players are playing in the top league and Europe whereas Tavernier played in the championship. Tbh £2.5m is a great price and there is no way anyone would pay £5m for a Scottish championship player.



14 Aug 2016 18:23:37
He would be off his head to go to Turkey these days, especially Istanbul. The whole country could erupt at any time. Not a place to live right now!



14 Aug 2016 19:11:51
There's been no contact for any rangers players so far.



14 Aug 2016 13:34:02
I don't always believe what I hear specially in the papers but if it does happen (tav moves to turkey) I think that's a big mistake as our defence is needing strengthened majorly as it is and letting one of our best players (IMO) bad move! And yet we are currently being linked with another striker from Preston. I think we need to focus on a solid no nonsense defender who can deal with corners/ set pieces because Wilson and Kiernan just don't cut it let's be honest they are awful and aren't upto the standard that we need a Rangers! I hope we can get a defender in but not at the cost of losing tav.



14 Aug 2016 14:33:43
Perhaps £2.5 Million will get our defence sorted and Joe Garner!



14 Aug 2016 14:42:28
I'd far rather keep our current back four than sell Tav and gamble on some cheap CD that's probably not much better than what we have! He's too valuable to this team at the moment.



14 Aug 2016 15:19:36
I must admit i quiver when i think of us going to places like tynecastle esp with there height/ phsycallity from set pieces.



14 Aug 2016 15:23:14
Tav is the best overlapping full back that we have. Wallace is not a great defender but this generally goes unnoticed. Problem is that our two centre backs are poor and we are not giving enough cover to our backs when they go on their runs. Halliday in a holding or defensive middle is a disaster; he got through last season because of the poor quality but as soon as Crooks is fit he must come in alongside Barton and Rossiter. A centre back to replace either Wilson or Kiernan is a must, take your pick on those two.



14 Aug 2016 18:20:40
This is where we are at the moment. We need to keep picking guys like Tav up on the cheap and selling for a profit. I'm not his biggest fan I'll admit but he's a solid pro and seems like a good guy in the squad BUT we should be biting off any hand offering that kind of money for any of our players "maybe with the exception of Mckay and Rossiter" then re investing the cash into the team. It's a solid growth model but it needs the punters to understand that they will loose favourite players from time to time.



14 Aug 2016 19:02:27
Why are people resigning themselves to losing players. We are trying to build a team here, not lose one.
Tav had a hand in 38 goals last year from RB, I personally don't think we can afford to lose that. He's been involved in most of our forward play this year as well.



14 Aug 2016 12:44:57
Few passengers yesterday. For me your flair players MUST produce otherwise they become a luxury we cannot afford. Wee Baz must start beating his opponents on a regular basis. Forrester too in and out of the game and a bit hot-headed. Kranjer not up to speed yet so maybe a bit soon to be moaning at him. I know this will seem harsh and warbs15 will disagree but I just don't see it in MOH. I really want him to prove me wrong but so far there has been nada from him, sorry.
Now I'm not being negative or having a go, I'm simply calling it as I see it.
Think when Windass is fit he will take one of those places as he looks an absolute find, pacey, direct, strong and skillful and dare I say it from what little we've seen of him, but consistent.



14 Aug 2016 13:01:16
I think MOH will shine when we go to the so called bigger grounds. Teams like Aberdeen Hearts and of course Celtic will have a go at us, their fans will demand it and i believe that will leave the space for MOH to run into and cause problems with his pace! Great option when we're on the counter!



14 Aug 2016 13:05:31
Game of opinions that's why we love it! I thought Barry and Harry were both very good yesterday sure they have room for improvement and they will get better. I wish the rest of the Rangers team had wee Barry's first touch and burst of pace. The boy will go on to play at a higher level.



14 Aug 2016 13:26:32
Barry McKay has been rank rotten in 1st two league games so far he beats his man cuts inside and the boy he Beats takes the ball off him and he has no end product either most overrated player at Ibrox and lastly he has no heart every 50/ 50 in the last 2 games he has bottled out of it.



14 Aug 2016 13:44:46
Makay is an important player for is as he takes the ball in tight spaces an has a great first touch but i do think he needs to show abit more heart in the tackle as he seems to pull out 50/ 50s.



14 Aug 2016 14:20:19
+ I'd get more goals and assists from the attacking positions he gets in every match against poor opponenets.



14 Aug 2016 15:22:12
Actually thot forrester didn't have a good game yesterday. for me Rossiter was the main man breaking up moves. doing the dirty work which every team needs.



14 Aug 2016 15:24:49
McKay can beat his man, problem is that once he does he often goes back to beat him again rather than running straight at the defence. He just needs time to develop.



14 Aug 2016 16:40:30
Maybe, just maybe, he is being instructed to do this.



14 Aug 2016 16:50:47
Albertz

So you think McKay is being told to beat a man and then go back and beat him again?



14 Aug 2016 20:07:58
Do you's not think the reason he cuts back is that thers very rarely any1 in the 6 yarder waiting on it. iv lost count how many times we get the ball accross the 6 yarder and nobodys ther to tuck it away.



14 Aug 2016 12:59:35
I agree I think we wasted 500k on ohallaron the guys a one trick pony hits the line everytime easy to defend against.



14 Aug 2016 07:17:37
Everyone jumping on the garner band wagon that I broke first and then bear necessities and gazzmclau ridiculed me for saying it. Few others only warbs gave me credit for what every paper has now broke the story. So many on here slag you for posting info on here it's a rumour site.



14 Aug 2016 07:51:50
Fair play to you Alex for breaking the story. Well done.



14 Aug 2016 07:56:13
Totally back you up here alexcee, I had the same when I broke the moh news on here almost 4 months before we signed him, that's what a small minority is like on here because they've not got a scoop and they continually think posters on here are making everything up because they're not in the know or have no info on a specific player, that's why we have this facility to share what we hear about everything regarding glasgow rangers.



14 Aug 2016 08:13:48
Fair play to you alexcee. Looks like it's a goer. Personally I know nothing about him but any half decent striker will score plenty with the chances we create. There's a lot of folk on this site that just want to be negative or pick holes in rumours posted, yes some rumours like RVP were total none sense but there is a few genuine ones and yours seems to be gathering pace.



14 Aug 2016 10:44:55
Surely joe garner isn't the big name that was being lined up. I'll give anyone a chance when they sign for rangers. But I have to say i'm a little underwhelmed about the signing. I'll happily be proved wrong. But his career record is 1 in 3 games and a lot of his appearances were in the lower leagues. 28 so no real sell on value. But like I said I'll be over the moon to be proved wrong.



14 Aug 2016 10:57:49
I remember that warbs I don't usually post and its for that reason but when I heard about this one I had to share. He seems a decent player from what I know but at least we are spending money.



14 Aug 2016 11:23:12
people tend to forget. That this is a Roumers Page and again this transfer window most players we have been linked with are nonsence. The ones that do come true the posters tend to harp on and on about I told you, if this one does materialise I hope he's better than MoH who just doesn't look interested he's been with us since January in my opinion you Harry Forrester is miles better!



14 Aug 2016 11:54:33
Disagree Bongo, O'Halloran is suffering from teams sitting deep leaving little space to run into. Think he was unlucky not to start yesterday as he played very well on Tuesday. He has real pace and is the only player we have with this asset which in my opinion we will need. I don't see this bit that he doesn't look interested!



14 Aug 2016 12:57:25
Disagree that MOH isn't interested, he is clearly trying (possibly too hard)

Problem is that he isn't good enough. He has pace but runs head down and has zero end product. Said before we signed him that it was a mistake, done nothing to prove me wrong.



14 Aug 2016 15:26:09
Jury still out on moh. think he is better suited to bn an impact player. he seems to b struggling to fit into our style. at st jon he was always playing on the counter wheras at us he's constantly bn asked to attack.



14 Aug 2016 16:35:36
I would play ohalloran on the left let him come inside and drive at teams or through the middle.



14 Aug 2016 08:36:12
I still don't think we can afford him especially when the asking price is supposedly at least £1million as we don't have that money at this moment in time not with court cases happening all the time and legal fees to pay, I hope I'm wrong because I think this guy could do really well for us, i hope warburton and weir get the backing of the board on this and of course a strong centre back which is a position that also needs badly addressed.



14 Aug 2016 09:43:29
No apologies from me - you post and take your chance.

Well done for a super guess.

Looks like the deal will rest on Tav deal being done.


TBBaB.



14 Aug 2016 14:55:34
garner won't be at ibrox preston will not budge on fee they want and we will not pay £1.25 m.
