You got to laugh at Sutton he comes across as a right bitter clown in that article
17 Jun 2015 23:28:20
Skint bitter clown!!! Best ignored. why he is getting paid for that tripe.
18 Jun 2015 12:12:14
Sutton comes across as a clown not just in that article but any time he opens his mouth.
17 Jun 2015 18:09:10
Is there anybody in football more sad and bitter than Chris Sutton?
Every year since we beat Dunfermline 6-1 and Celtic failed to put 6 past a rotten Kilmarnock team missing a penalty while Arteta scored ours (notice Chris how footballing skill won it Arteta scores pen Thompson misses NO FIX) he has posted some petty story trying to bring Rangers down or us fans. The latest being that Danny Wilson could only possibly choose Celtic ahead of Rangers!
I accept Celtic are in the top division but as they have a glut of central defenders including the new boy the just signed and Wilson would not be guaranteed a game weekly. At Rangers he can be the mainstay central defender under a former great Rangers centre half and captain learning how to progress as a player and be part of the Rangers revolution under the 2 Dubyas.
I know where I would sign in his shoes. He also knows Celtic are perennial bottlers and when Rangers are back in the SPFL their's will crash yet again when Aberdeen Rangers and Hearts pressure them next 2 seasons
Got to laugh at Sutton though it is great to know that day still winds him up so much
17 Jun 2015 18:45:57
Got it bang on . Sutton is a sad sad man. Get over it Chris .
17 Jun 2015 18:53:15
Totally agree KT the irony is lost on him that a former keeper of theirs conceded at least one penalty to them (I can't remember how the other one was conceded) and they won 4-0 away from home, no fix, but we win 6-1 at home with one pen , that's a fix even with Dunfermline scoring against us and Killy hardly venturing into their half.
17 Jun 2015 19:09:13
I also remember his bitter interview after it slating the Kilmarnock goalkeeper and x Septic keeper Gordon Marshall. It was later reported that Sutton continually through out the gams was asking him to throw one in the net for them disgraceful and our SFA and SPL did Hee Haw, now there's a surprise!
17 Jun 2015 19:20:42
Great memories of that day. As well as Sutton, Lennon also made an arse of himself by ranting and raving at Gordon Marshall for not letting in more goals! You couldn't make it up!
17 Jun 2015 19:21:23
Perennial bottlers!! Sorry but who won the league last time your mob were in it? After use leadin by how many points? And the perennial bottlers swept use aside in 1st gear a couple of months ago! Think the perennial bottlers are the team who were horsed 6-1 by a woeful motherwell team a few weeks ago! Perennial bottlers haha! And the reason Wilson won't be going to the champs is because he's not good enough! As was proved when his Hearts team were soundly Beaten by the champs last season!
17 Jun 2015 19:29:15
Nice one KT, well reeled in, always one.
17 Jun 2015 19:33:34
No the Peennial bottles are the first team in the history of European competition tae get pumped out not once, not twice, not three times but four times . 4 . Times in one season I can hear the sound of breaking bottles in Harthill Hee Haw yer Mince!
17 Jun 2015 19:44:42
i always regarded sutton as a nungy all he ever did was moan and the gordon marshall affair he should have been banned sin die for it
17 Jun 2015 19:54:36
KT I remember the days when you talked sense, this wasn't one of them however. Has Sutton got an axe to grind? Yes, I'd say that's fair comment. Do we have a glut of central defenders? Erm no. Van Dijk I'd say it's more than likely he will go albeit he has two years left, Mulgrew - I prefer him as a defensive midfielder as does Deila in the most part. Ambrose - a squad player at best and not even that if I had the choice, Boyata - hasn't even kicked a ball yet, the rest are in the most part kids or fullbacks. So we have three first choice experienced central defenders, when three is deemed a glut I'll take it back but till then you are talking nonsense.
If there is one thing we learned from Deila last season he runs a meritocracy, so if you play well you will keep getting games and he has no problem with youth as developing one of Europe's hottest talents indicates, he'd learn just as much at Parkhead and get a good chance of European football and face a better quality of opposition week in, week out.
Perennial bottlers, KT, really? That is surely beneath you. Motherwell over two legs, three cracks at the petrofac, a dismal record v the Edinburgh clubs last season in the league till it was too late to matter and I don't recall us bottling the league cup semi, who was our opponent again? Oh yes Rangers, shots in the game 1 shots on target 0. Come on KT, your argument is meant to sway Wilson to Ibrox, not away from it.
17 Jun 2015 20:09:05
When was the 4th time mate? The only 4 that happened last year was 4 in a row! We're mince!! Haha! Comin from the team who scraped 3rd in Scotland's 2nd tier! Scraped threw 2 play off rounds and were annihilated by the mighty well! So I'm interested to hear this 4th time we got put out in Europe?

Who is one of Europe's hottest talents? You don't mean Van Clodhopper do you. Fine in an inferior league but shown up in Europe. I don't exactly see any of the big boy's rattling down your door to take him. He will be lucky to scrape into a bottom 4 premiership team.
Rangers very seldom bottled it when the chips were down before we were papped down to the bottom league. Your lot have a history of it. 2003/2005 (particularly so!)/ICT (numerous times)/Ross County/ Legia (big time)/ Maribor. And these are only the recent ones.
We had an excuse as we were pish. What's your excuse?
Now i'm going yo look into my yra leaves. Oh dear! Doesn't look good gaz. Look out for Delilah and what happens to him when you crash out of the CL at the group stage once again. You lot will be howling for his head on a platter.
Smell the glove
18 Jun 2015 00:47:01
Cmon noo Big Sutton knows what he talking about having been a successful coach and manager winning titles and cups at. Ach the name of all those teams he has managed has slipped my memory. Some of these pundits must have been from lucky bags ( de ye still get them nowadays?)
18 Jun 2015 08:40:51
Noddy it shows just how little you know about football when you didn't even know I was talking about Martin Odegaard. The boy Delia brought into first team training aged 13, making his debut the same season and now at Real Madrid. I'd ask if the name rang a bell but I very much doubt it. Better luck next time Noddy, off you go and spout crap to someone else.
18 Jun 2015 08:45:04
Noddy when you say we'll crash out at the group stage does that mean you think we will make the group stage, why thank you for your support? I'd take the group stage in a minute right now as it will be much harder qualifying this year, even teams like BATE Borisov are seeded 6-10. But cheers Noddy I would have thought a bitter wee non-informed guy like yourself would have had us beat at the first hurdle.
18 Jun 2015 11:31:27
You seem agitated Gaz.
Relax , take a break from all your trolling.
18 Jun 2015 11:33:53
Gaz.
Of course I meant the qualifying stage. Don't think you can realistically look at getting to the groups. Wouldn't want you to get delusions of grandeur, as if you deserve to sit at the top table.
Re Odegaard - The lad is a good player but then it wouldn't take Einstein to realise this. Are you saying Delilah should take the credit for this? It takes me back to the days when Jimmy Johnstone was breaking through at Celtic. A deaf and blind person could have seen the wee man was going to be a great player. From all reports Odegaard could be in the same bracket. Sometimes these nuggets just land in your lap. So maybe Ronny is not the Messiah you guys think he is.
So why don't you wind your neck in, Gaz and leave the sensible football talk to people who know about the game.
18 Jun 2015 11:36:18
Gaz
And by the way, while you are picking me up on detail, are you saying Odegaard made his debut at 13? I think you'll find a wee inaccuracy there, funnily enough!
Smell the glove!
{Ed001's Note - he did actually make his first team debut at the age of 13, oddly enough. Only in a friendly though.}
18 Jun 2015 12:11:23
Ed. I wasn't aware of that. I suppose my wee green pal will be on to point it out!
{Ed001's Note - no worries, it is unusual, but the only reason he had to wait longer to play in the league was due to the rules on players having to have a professional contract. They had to find a loophole which allowed them to put him on the pitch at the age of 15 as an amateur.}
18 Jun 2015 12:14:03
Thank you Ed. Some of us has the brains to research things before writing in here Noddy, you should try it once in a blue moon, your garbage to sense ratio might reduce dramatically. Ahhh you did mean qualifiers so even more crap from you, sad that you can't even write what you mean. Honestly Noddy get back to me when you can actually put something sensible together.
18 Jun 2015 12:33:07
Nippon merely pointing out endless Gers fans nonsense, drivel and inaccuracy, it can keep you fairly busy it is fair to say. As I've said to you before Nippon you know less than nothing about me and I fancy you couldn't detect agitation with a top of the line agitation detecting machine but please don't let me stop you spending an hour or two on Amazon or Ebay looking for one.
Being a diehard Ger do you want something to do Nippon? You said before my questions don't offer any insight, okay here's a few for you, big one's, crucial I would say to your club's standing.
1) Can you find any documentation for deeds of novation regards Ibrox?
2) When taking over, King and the three bears alluded to Deloitte no longer being involved with the club, something never admitted by the previous board, did this affect the annual accounts and ultimately Rangers short term prospects of European football?
3) When will any of you demand a full enquiry into Rangers actual debts when Craig Whyte took over as BDO are clearly indicating these figures are higher than the well documented £18m? This clearly has ramifications for David Murray and more pertinently Paul Murray and Dave King.
So for all of you salivating over your Champ. Manageresque dream team I would humbly suggest dropping the champagne flutes and doing some investigation into real issues that impact your club, or will you leave it to Celtic fans (again)?
18 Jun 2015 13:13:20
Fair questions gaz but I'll stick to the original point of the thread on this one for now. You always strike me as sensible so can you please explain how Sutton has a justifiable axe to grind as since his original outburst he's always came across as a very sore loser and incredibly bitter. I don't see how it can be anything otherwise but your reply suggests you agree with him and his conspiracy theories.
18 Jun 2015 13:26:40
Hahaha
Diehard Ger? wouldn't go that far Gaz- shows how much you know about me. I thoroughly enjoy watching Rangers but I wouldn't call myself a diehard. It's funny that you get so irate when folk make suggestions about yourself, yet you are on at Noddy over his knowledge of the game?! Get a grip Gaz!
I don't have the answers for your three questions I'm afraid.
I suggest you go onto your 'rangers sevco' page! Full of level minded financial experts I'm sure!? I'm off for my dinner now, hopefully we can giggle at your next attempt to get the last word you so dearly crave!
18 Jun 2015 13:59:41
Misread me Spart7 I'm agreeing with KT that he does seem to have a distorted bee in his bonnet regards Rangers (an axe to grind - and that is why I said what she wrote was fair comment), I never mentioned the word justified anywhere.
Nippon there is a difference between assuming you know someone and seeing someone making a clown of themselves verbally and picking up on it.
Of course you don't have the answers, that would involve proving you and others actually give a sh*t about your team and do some research when spouting inaccurate garbage is so much easier. Enjoy. That's my last reply to you, you asked for insightful questions, got them and ran a mile.
18 Jun 2015 14:32:10
Don't be hard on yourself Gaz! I wouldn't call you a clown.
Paranoid and obsessed yes, but not a clown.
Where did I run a mile from your questions? I said I didn't know the answers. If you get out your little bubble maybe you would know that folk have asked similar questions.
18 Jun 2015 15:01:24
Gaz
Get off your high horse. Since when was a friendly deemed a competitive match. Odegaard didn't play a competitive match until he was nearly 16. Friendly matches are tantamount to training matches as far as I'm concerned.
tbh I've forgotten more about the game than you'll ever know. Can you go back as far as Jim Baxter, Willie Henderson, Jimmy Johnstone and the like?
18 Jun 2015 17:42:45
Noddy you thought Van Dijk was who I described as one of Europe's hottest talents, don't try and save face now, you know nowt. As for Odegaard as Ed has already explained only rules prevented an earlier, much earlier, competitive debut you would imagine. I said debut by the way not competitive debut but for the record he was 15 years and 118 days old when he made his competitive debut, that's closer to 15 than 16 or can we add arithmetic to the list of things Noddy knows nowt about (man it's a growing list). Age goes for nothing when you write rubbish Noddy. You are probably older than Stephen Fry will I tell him you want his place on QI based on witnessing Baxter and Henderson?
18 Jun 2015 17:47:37

Did you sit and count the days? Man now that's really sad! Re Dick van Dyke - I'm fed up hearing it on phone ins and reading it on supporters' forums of how this guy is world class etc etc. Please, leave it out guys. He is average at best.
18 Jun 2015 18:55:17
That seems to be his rule of thumb fab1, or maybe he prefers other measurements like hand, furlong or chain. :)
18 Jun 2015 19:32:41
No Noddy I read up on it. For a guy who said group stages when you meant qualifiers, thought Van Dijk when I clearly meant Odegaard, claimed nearly 16 when in actuality he was closer to 15 I would really suggest you do the same but lazy, factless spouting seems to be your way Noddy, each to their own. Oh and by the way you bit on my reply to KT, who really is doing the fishing here?
18 Jun 2015 19:38:09
Gaz have you noticed that when he gets caught out it's always some magical mythical fishing trip he is on , lol .
18 Jun 2015 20:35:17
Lol, yup fab1 we are in site full of grizzled fishermen, comparing their scars and stories of the U.S.S. Indianapolis. Either that or you clamp them with logic and you become obsessed or catch of the day, which is just about the only two answers some of them have.
Herald reports that debts were massive, way beyond what Whyte could ever do in nine months, reason this has significance is that board had King and Murray on it, Pauline highlights it on here but stories of the day are will we go 3-5-2 or 4-4-2, here's our 42 potential new signings and Chris Sutton's a bit of a bad loser. It's funny and sad in equal measure and I get that it's not everybody's cup of tea but just ask, go on a phone-in, ask are our accounts up to date what did King mean by that etc etc, sure our journalists are thick in the most part but they will at some point ask someone in the know and get back to you.
{Ed001's Note - there is a page for that stuff, that is why this page is full of football talk, please don't clog up this one with the other. For heaven's sake there is a reason everyone thinks accountants are boring, and you are sounding like an accountant. This is a banter page, either banter or don't reply because this financial stuff is not banter and not for this page.}
18 Jun 2015 22:46:50
Well said Ed. You are quite right. This is a banter/wind up site and I must say I do love the banter. The guy is obviously just a blowhard who enjoys sitting on his high horse boring everybody with his facts and figures and his seemingly endless knowledge of all things Rangers. Comes across as a guy desperate for friendship. I suppose he always has wee Fandabidozi to hang on every word and agree with every statement he makes

What's with all the slating of Walter smith? . Are we all forgetting 08.
Anyway I for one am all for the kind of player warburton seems to be interested in energetic hungry talented young lads willing to move to Scotland to play in the championship but after a year they could be stronger better players ready for the spl thots guys?ed
17 Jun 2015 18:20:49
A lot of posters on here are ready to turn on anyone at the slightest thing, Bornblue, our manager , our captain, any player they don't fancy all get slaughtered now it's our legendary 9 IAR manager who's next Struth? Wallace?
17 Jun 2015 18:48:09
Walter was famous for playing players out of position saying they were "versatile".BS***. THEN he passed all that knowledge to McCoist, who just done the exact same with older players!
Hopefully we can now see a younger team playing exciting attacking football.
17 Jun 2015 18:59:26
I think a lot of us whilst grateful for our 9 in a row (at any cost- one which it transpires we couldn't afford) are still in shock at our financial meltdown. A lot of which was initiated in the "good old days of 9 in a row"
Now here is something to wrestle with- would you have forgone the 9 in a row if it secured the future of the club and prevented the last disastrous, embarrassing and ultimately humiliating 4 years?
Walter worked Murray well through the media slating off the bank and ensuring another £30 million was spent in his second stint as manager.Spending that amount is no problem if you can afford it- we couldn't so Ally's approach learned from his mentor Walter culminated in more financial carnage, more boring football and ultimate failure to get back to the top division in 3 consecutive steps- hence negating the entire brain dead strategy.
He won the worst two part time divisions in Scotland with the oldest 2nd most expensive squad failing at 3 attempts in the Ramsdens and three each in League cups and Scottish Cups- better not to mention our only season in Europe under Ally.
Now the fans who still worship Ally in particular are entitled to their opinion- I just wouldn't like to be the advocate making the case or trying to make the case to an independent jury for Murray, Walter or McCoist to obtain a not guilty verdict.
Not proven would be the best outcome but only if some of the jury were intellectually challenged.
What should have happened is what MUST happen now and that is maximising the Auchenhowie facility to at least show a profit on player transactions otherwise there was no point in building it or keeping it open. The club and the fans will be winners for the first time in years and years if we produce our own young uns who excite the bears and make us proud of the club again.
Sorry chaps - that is me finished now I won't bore you again- the boil has been lanced.
17 Jun 2015 19:09:23
Couldn't have put it better masel Mannering!
17 Jun 2015 19:32:41
Go do some homework , we were bringing in 15mil a year Champ league money as well as season ticket money etc we were also selling players on so not all the money was going out. SDM tied our money in with MIM , that's where the money went that ultimately led to our downfall. We went down for a bill of 19mil and non payment to HMRC. Check how much came in during Smiths years and how much he spent.
17 Jun 2015 19:48:18
no one can detract from what walter did any one who lifts his name are not loyal bears did not matter if u did not like his style of football it got the job done an that's what matters
17 Jun 2015 20:30:13
Couldn't have put it better maself, Jyf.
17 Jun 2015 20:36:06
JYF you are missing the point here , we never utilized murray park at any time, walter was all about buying players did not like youngsters passed this trait onto Ally , without the money both of them struggled could not spot young talent and develop it this is why Ally hit the buffers big time.
17 Jun 2015 21:57:52
Damn it - cannot refuse a challenge " go do some homework" "£15 million a year from Champions League"
According to STV Rangers total earnings from the champions league qualifying and group stages was 9,224,000 euros in 2009/2010 in the following season 2010/2011 it was 9,326,000 euros or in other words circa £7.5 / year.
So to help you with your homework 2 x £7.5 = £15million or £15,000,000 for these 2 seasons. I suspect the income was considerably lower in Walter's First stint when he spent £50million on players added to £30million in his second stint.
Also remember if a player costs us £12million he has cost us £12million if we sell for example an Alan Hutton for £11.44 million we actually only earn circa £7.5million as there was player and agent fees to come of the sale price.
Walter spent £13 million in the final season which should have been the 10 in a row season when we had a pre season game at Ibrox (this for the benefit of the Brain of Britain accusing critics of the rangers greats as not true Rangers fans - may I suggest you wind your neck in Sir or go and get pi~~ed in Magaluf)when a Rangers 11 captained by Brian Laudrup playing in the home strip competed against a Rangers team playing in the away white strip captained by Lorenzo.
But the main point is young players don't cost as much when you buy in largely older more experienced players the salary outlay rockets. And you need to earn huge transfer fees to counteract transfer outlays plus big wages and bonuses.
In fairness my homework also uncovered a very long list of impressive players who had nothing but unstinting praise for Walter.
And there I will definitely leave it- goodnight!
18 Jun 2015 06:29:06
No your missing the point Ron ,we were spending OUR money earned through CL and winning leagues, I'm not saying we didn't overspend some seasons but we had a bank that was supporting this. The problems started when MIM started having trouble and SDM started using Rangers money for his other ventures. Not Smiths fault at all.

Did Deloitte sign off on the last set of accounts? There was something about it when King and the three bears took over, that the previous board failed to reveal Deloitte's intentions. Then the story went cold, don't know it's ramifications but if they didn't then it's back to year one you would think. Might find some details on it in the early days of the takeover.
17 Jun 2015 13:12:20
Hearing Alfie Mawson (CB) could be Rangers first signing, was on loan at Wycome from Brentford last season, and won Wycombe's player of the year. Seen him play a few times, looks a good prospect, would be a very good signing.

Walter please leave our management team alone you gave us 3 years of McCoist then recently had the audacity to say he wasn't given enough time instead of slating him or at least apologising to the fans.
You are now a relic and confined to the past, a great past yes, but we do not want to go through more years of boring predictable grind it out football, I will be much happier winning the SPFL every second year but with entertaining exciting football for the first time since Advocaat.
Honestly Bears name me more than 4 seasons of the 9 in a row where you were not bored and the results were a foregone conclusion? The Aberdeen year Hateley 2-0, the Gazza year and the 2 great contests with Tommy Burns Celtic team were the only entertaining years.
17 Jun 2015 13:10:44
Where you are entitled to your opinion, I can not agree. I am fairly sure Smith is not about to explain to Warburton how to manage the game of football!! And what style of football to play.
However to pass on his knowledge of ALL things Rangers, well that would be a blessing frankly. Anything that can help settle a new manager to the Rangers ways, expectations and pressures is only going to help settle that manager in.
To suggest that Walter should stay away is an insult and frankly completely unnecessary.
Any help you can give Walter would be welcome in my book.
17 Jun 2015 13:41:45
KT, The best post I have seen on here for a long time. Was distraught when I heard King was going to ask Smith for advice on the new manager. Smith was the originator of the old pals act, basically securing McCoist the managers job, after years of baling him out at half time in cup games and working with him on a daily basis at Murray Park. He must have know he wasn't up for the job. If it was up to me he would be barred from Ibrox for that alone. Nothing to do with blowing 10 in a row or boring us to death for years. Haven't posted for a long time but had to get that off my chest.

smiths advice was go for macinnes ta
17 Jun 2015 16:00:36
It's ok u will be able to see 9 in a row again in the next few years! Not sure u'll enjoy it but! 😂😂
17 Jun 2015 16:49:13
Distraught lol, offs it is only a game.
I was alive just through tons and then Rangers 9 in a row
The major difference was Stein had them playing entertains football for the 9 years in a great competitive league where Rangers Hibs Dundee and Kilmarnock all progressed very far in the Euro Cups
Walters Rangers produced 1 great Euro year where with team work luck and a good team we might have won it That said the football was boring week in week out I went to all the home games but preferred the away games as better atmosphere Europe we were embarrassed on many many occasions and as I said 5 of the seasons were like Celtic now over before season began really
I loved the wins but NOT the manner we achieved them only when Advocaat came did I for the first time since the 60s Baxter era see Rangers play great exciting football
I would trade 4 losses of the next 9 years in the SPFL
If we can win 5 playing exciting football in a competitive league with Celtic Aberdeen and hearts all fighting till the END of the season
War burton has a vision of quick passing and exciting attacking football that for me is why I will be there enjoying watching Rangers instead of just turning up out of loyalty as I've always done. For years I've watching Rangers as they are my birth team but watched Barcelona and Juve for excitement and enjoyment
It would be great to have both of these things at the club I have loved all my life

Cuillin72,
Hi, sorry if I used too long a word for you to understand, distraught, should have put worried or upset, which is what it means lol. That word summed up perfectly how I was feeling after seeing our club in turmoil and on its knees for the last few years and starting to find it's feet again, only to see Smith being lined up for managerial advice.
Offs, it's more than a game to me.

Actually m8, distraught doesn't mean worried or upset, it means something much more serious, just thought I would say, as your response to another guy was arrogant in the extreme, and obviously wrong, IE, I was distraught when my brother died, not worried or upset ,
17 Jun 2015 18:39:10
Tommy, that puts things into perspective. Some people just take a silly game so seriously.
17 Jun 2015 22:35:51
tommy12,
If you are going to come on and have a go at me for my English, at least get your facts right, google 'distraught'.
Just saying mate.
17 Jun 2015 09:03:36
Rangers linked with stuart dallas this morning. Would be a really good signing imo.
17 Jun 2015 07:17:32
Heard a wee rumour that all you boys have only heard rumours about ex players! Geez peace before Warburton was confirmed all we wanted was a fresh approach etc now all that seems to be napping is us getting linked to old ex players please stop posting this tripe
17 Jun 2015 08:39:53
Slightly different line but when it is crucial for Scottish football we have a strong fully functioning Rangers I am disgusted that our media is now awash with "don't sign for Rangers" rubbish every time a decent young player is mentioned. The reality is that for a young player there could never have been a more exciting time to sign for the Gers but sadly our narrow minded parochial media are unlikely to change their sad anti-Gers positions any time soon . So its back to "Nobody likes us . we don't care". Though I would suggest we care just enough to stop giving the Record, National, Herald etc any of our cash. With enthusiasm they helped bring us down and they are still at it.
17 Jun 2015 10:17:40
Old guy I'm afraid rangers were not brought down by the media . I think you will find the answer a little closer to home . So accept it
17 Jun 2015 10:18:58
If you are indeed an old guy,as your moniker would suggest,then you ought to have learned a long time ago the media are only interested in selling papers mate.The longer we're struggling,the more papers they sell.
17 Jun 2015 11:47:10
Old guy I was going to go on a long rant with lots of facts and figures and talk about demographics but instead can I just ask for one example of the daylate ranger discouraging any player not to sign for their favourite team?
17 Jun 2015 12:39:32
Discouraging any player not to sign for their favourite team? You mean encouraging?
17 Jun 2015 13:04:24
Cheers for sparing us the demographics rant.
17 Jun 2015 14:14:28
Two I've heard of so far is Keith Wright advising Allan to stay at Hibs and 'Sore loser' Sutton saying that Wilson should sign for Celtic rather than Rangers. Don't know which publications the stories appeared in.
17 Jun 2015 17:00:02
Noddy are those not ex players giving opinions? And as painful as it may be for you , surely Sutton is right given their positions if he wanted to better himself ( his words ) the he would be better in the premier league and getting a shot at Europe rather than another season in the championship, that's not anti rangers it's just common sense.
17 Jun 2015 17:23:35
Can anyone, in all honesty take anything the hafwitted,bitter man that is Sutton seriously? Even my sellik pals know he just opens his mouth, for effect, and has a strong dislike of RANGERS, he made an almighty fool of himself when accusing Dunfermline of "lying down" and losing by 5 goals, while not mentioning Motherwell lost 5 to his team,? Then accused a fellow professional,Gordon Marshall,of trying too hard, and suggesting he shudnt have?? , doesn't that make Sutton the cheat? As well as dragging our country's good name thru the dirt, a thoroughly arrogant, unlikeable and nasty specimen, who elbowed his way they football, ie, oniels tactics v Scotland!
17 Jun 2015 18:23:10
Fanydabbydozy, would u allow someone else to tell u were u want to work, do u know wot the contract offer is, remember dozy, any young players will probably never again get the chance to play for RANGERS again, that is something u would never understand, they could end up in England with a great CV behind them, but u would rather they listen to the bitterest mouthpiece in Britain
Tommy12
17 Jun 2015 22:44:46
Tommytit I'm thinking that you could give big Chris a run for his money as the bitterest man in Britain . We are specifically talking about Wilson here who if you remember correctly could not wait to leave the first time . If he ends up at the asbestos bowl you can be certain Celtic never made him an offer.
18 Jun 2015 13:15:46
One thing you need to take into account with Sutton is he talks absolute crap about Celtic as well and just the Scottish game in general. I liked the guy when he played but agree completly with Tommy the guy only opens his mouth for effect and to keep his pundit career alive - total douche
17 Jun 2015 06:43:02
It's refreshing to read these posts as it shows were moving into a different place now, but the Fantasy Football managers don't appear to be moving on McGregor Cueller Lovenkrands Lafferty come on guys waken up these guys are all in there 30 now and had their chance at Rangers And Drogba lol
17 Jun 2015 16:43:34
I don't think any of these would be realistic signings. Cuellar did well and we did good business selling him on, but it never really works coming back. Lovenkrands had his moments but I don't think he would be capable of bringing a lot to the table. Wouldn't want McGregor or Lafferty as they turned their backs on the club when it suited them. Drogba was a great player, but really, as well as being over the hill now, would anybody expect him to take a massive pay cut and wade in among the sh*** we have to deal with up here?
16 Jun 2015 21:24:07
Hey,
I was wondering if anyone had any information on if a new scouting system will be put in place.
I've not actually heard any proper details on the matter just people saying it's important not what plans they have to re-introduce it.
Thanks :)
17 Jun 2015 17:29:02
Start, how would anyone on here have that sort of info m8, it will happen when it happens, nobody on here will know anything, except the font of RANGERS knowledge, smartyarse, he was so correct that there wudnt be a new manager, oh wait a minute
