Rangers Banter Archive September 21 2016
Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
21 Sep 2016 20:52:44
Seen a lot of "found your level" type posts on here after last night. Surely the mighty Brenda and his world beaters aren't struggling against lowly league one Alloa? And just to add to that. Should they not have been down to ten men in the last two games now? Even their hero Sutton agrees.
21 Sep 2016 21:23:55
Their bubble has burst already! A few decent results and they think they're world beaters, every time! They got the upper hand against us in the OF but they were firing on all cylinders and we never got going. I still believe we have more talent in our squad and will run them close this year!
21 Sep 2016 21:26:47
Only took them 83 minutes to score mate, hardly struggling.
21 Sep 2016 21:49:31
RFCinfinity, you're bang on the money mate as we undoubtedly have a lot of talented players in our squad, we also have a talented management team, rangers fans on here calling for warbs to be sacked at the start of the season are honestly an absolute joke imo, we will click, be patient as we're bedding in 11 new players into our squad.
21 Sep 2016 22:10:49
Our bubbles burst! Theses more talent in your squad! Haha! Do yous actually believe the nonsense u put on here! Exactly how has the bubble burst? Forgive me but are we not top of the SPL? Where in the league are u again? And we got the upper hand! We absolutely spanked yous! If I was u I'd be worrying about how Alloa can put in a Better fight against the champs than your mob! Stick to trying to get in the top 6 this year and leave winning the league to big boys eh!
{Ed039's Note - FYI ..... The SPL doesn't exist anymore)
21 Sep 2016 22:40:14
I don't get why you lot seem to think any bubble has burst, we won the match 2 nil. doesn't matter when the goals go in as long as they do go in. The WIN tonight does not make us poor much like your win last night does not make your lot great. Very petty stuff indeed. Please direct me to where the talent in your team is, me and the rest of scottish football have yet to see it.
21 Sep 2016 23:50:56
There must be a sensible Celtic fan who was getting a bit annoyed with the 83 minutes of random pot shots here and there before you eventually managed to score?
Alloa goalkeeper had an excellent game though.
Wiss81, I would suggest that you worry about the effort of some players in your team because from what I saw you played best against us and haven't played since.
22 Sep 2016 00:06:59
Bedding in 11 players its basically the same guys starting as last year as your new guys are gash past it or injured? You will struggle for top three! What do you base the talented management team part on? Beating part timers and championship level teams last year and having a shocking run of results in your last 15 games check the stats?
22 Sep 2016 01:48:09
Cfc make hard work of it and Rfc played the best game of the season. Over the course of the season cfc will win by 20 points or more. You have got to crawl before you walk. Hearts, Aberdeen and St Johnstone will be you're challenge to get a Euro spot (Unless win the Scottish Cup) .
22 Sep 2016 07:09:39
Bhampot, you saw how talented our players were when we absolutely played yous off the park in the semi final in april! To the other obsessed celtic fans the constantly are on here, 'WELL GUYS I REALLY DON'T BLAME YOUS BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE LIVING PROOF, 'ITS ALL ABOUT THE RANGERS'! YOU JUST CAN'T GET US OUT YOUR HEADS! Common bhampot and co, admit it you really are OBSESSED with the greatest and most successful club on the planet! Own up, you know you want to!
22 Sep 2016 07:14:06
Rafbob nobody's saying that we weren't annoyed that we struggled a bit! But to come out with the bubbles burst is utter crap! But even in 3rd gear we will still win the league with ease! And for u to use the word sensible after some one on here suggested that u still have better players than us is laughable! Only somebody on this page could get spanked off us 5-1 and say that your still better than us! Haha!
22 Sep 2016 07:30:50
id like to congratulate alloa tbh, the game with a gameplan and defended like warriors, the keeper was immense but started to tire about 75 mins,
22 Sep 2016 07:49:30
I'd like to congratulate the celtic fans in not understanding sarcasm haha! caught a few bhoys their lol.
22 Sep 2016 09:35:30
I have actually watched the last few games of theirs. I didn't for four years but now we are in the same division I watch all the teams we will play. I see a lot of weak links in this Celtic team which have been masked by some undeniably excellent results. They don't defend well. The middle of the park is short on ability as well. If the two wingers from Sinclair, forrest and Roberts aren't on top form they struggle. I don't see any creative influence through the middle. Brown has never had it his game is all about energy. Bitton, McGregor and Rogic aren't great either. If Sinclair gets injured I can see them dropping points regularly.
22 Sep 2016 10:09:50
Wiss - the score flattered you massively, it was your day so enjoy it! You scored 2 late goals when we had no defence on the park, the rest of the game was fairly even despite us not playing well! The Barcelona game highlighted this nicely, worst defeat in CL history and your still in denial about how good you are! Dembele and Sinclair are good players but the rest are average at best! You all go on about Patrick Roberts who's just a £14 million dud! What has he ever done to merit a starting place never-mind that price tag? I wouldn't take any of your midfield! Rossiter, Holt, Forrester, Kranjcar, Crooks and Windass are all better footballers than what you have! Tav is the best wing back in the league by a mile etc Before you start arguing that Tierney is better you should pipe down and come back when he scores 15 worldies and gets a mountain of assists! So yes, we're doing just fine bhoys!
22 Sep 2016 10:22:59
Correct Jmaster - they have a talented, pacey forward-line but the rest of the team may as well be Hibs!
22 Sep 2016 10:25:35
I watched the Celtic game and actually think Alloa played great. Think of the times we played Alloa, it was never an easy game. I still think we can challenge Celtic but don't see us winning the league but for some of their fans to think they will win the league by 20 points is being too over confident. If they do anything in Europe watch them struggle for at parts in the season. I can see Us, Hearts and Aberdeen taking points off them and that's not to mention some of the lower teams in the League. There problem is that they seem to think they are great and have no weaknesses where we know our defence is rotten. Only time will tell.
21 Sep 2016 23:59:20
sorry for the confussion. is this not the same alloa that held The Rangers 2 draws in their 2 outings?
21 Sep 2016 23:19:54
RFCinfinity: surely if you have more squad talent then you should be winning the league not pushing us close? eh.
let me guess, in your opinion you beleive:
wallace better than tierney?
mckay better than sinclair?
garner better than griffiths?
senderos better than kolo?
barton better than brown?
waghorm better than dembele
tavernier better than roberts?
nike better than rogic?
if that's the case then how come the team with less talent than yours EASILY brushed yous aside? 5-1 was it not.
21 Sep 2016 22:39:12
Wiss81
Is this the same big boys that lost 7-0 to Barcelona?
22 Sep 2016 11:55:52
Think the better fight was them simply stopping you playing.
22 Sep 2016 12:23:02
Flattered us! Haha aye nae bother mate! It could have been 7 or 8! And who mentioned Barcelona! Yes we got gubbed but there's not a team in this country who are even near that level! The team we have right now while not being the best we've ever had will easily win this league by double figures! U talk about weak links and average players! These average players trounced this better team u supposedly have! And your doing just fine! your barely in the top 6 of the league! Haha. u found your level last year in Scotland's 2nd tier, now your in the big league u are being cruelly exposed for the dross that u are! As the sheep shaggerrs will prove on Sunday! And your comparing young tierney with a tavernier! A guy who again looked good in the 2nd tier but has done nothing in the big league! As was proved against the champs! Chasing shadows the whole 2nd half just like the rest of your team! But hey your doing just fine! Haha.
22 Sep 2016 12:24:25
Kaney - you're just comparing random players! But yes, Tav is a machine, he's proven it! Roberts is a over-rated squirt who has done nothing for Celtic apart from miss an open goal in the cup semi! Barton better than Brown? Yes. He's a tit but I'm a better player than broonie! Rogic isn't fit to lace up Nikos boot's mate, unfit or not! Waghorn has a better record than Dembele. McKay is on poor form but he is better than Sinclair and only 21! etc etc.
22 Sep 2016 13:41:42
Oh and so you know I have actually backed us to win the league at 7/ 1. I can see the cracks in your lot and I can only see us improving as games fo by. The new manager effect is wearing off already for your mob haha.
22 Sep 2016 13:32:53
Rfcinfinity a think u should give the grown up in your house the phone back and get to back to school son! What utter nonsense u talk! Like I said only on this page could supporters of a team who have just been hammered 5-1 then followed it up with 0-0 against Ross county claim to have the best players in the league! It's actually frightening! Haha! And Biffo u make my point for me! BARCELONA! Arguably in the top 3 teams in world football with a player arguably the best of all time! Teams and players u can only dream of facing! We're talking about our league, which we are a country mile ahead of anything else in it! And the table will prove it by May! In fact never mind may, have a look at in now! More points more goals more wins and superior goal difference! While playing the teams who all finished top 4 last season! Who have yous played of any note? Apart from Scotland's champions who dispatched u with ease, with our top goal scorer sitting in the stand!
22 Sep 2016 13:39:10
Kaney1983- you have managed to pick two players I wouldn't have in the team in Niko and Barton. Not all Rangers fans rate him but I'd have Halliday over Brown. We have seen that duel before and Brown had his knickers taken down. I'd have Windass over Rogic and Holt over McGregor. McKay over any of your players and Waggy over Dembele aye! Record speaks for itself. 9 goals in 7/ 8 games I think this season. Griffiths is better than anything we have up top, Sinclair has been excellent and I'd Tierney excellent young player. Other than they 3 you can keep the rest!
22 Sep 2016 17:41:45
They can keep the thumb! Dodoo and Garner will be good signings!
22 Sep 2016 16:10:13
kaney barton is way better than broon I have two left feet and i'm better than broon.
tav is better than your right back Wallace isn't on form but is a better player than your Tierney.
forrester is as tricky as your wee boy Roberts who is on loan and he has more grit and isn't scared of a challenge.
McKay is better than sinclaire in my books although that is probably the signing of the season. McKay is as fast and is more skillfull with the ball.
22 Sep 2016 17:10:53
If selic only scored 2 against alloa over the course of a season in that league and having only scored 2 late goals wouldn't that point out the fact Selig would also get beat once or twice in said league I mean according to the selic fans they would stroll it and score double figures but didn't its clear for any real fan that any top team would struggle once or twice thru a season in the lower league so maybe now the selic fans get ahead of themselfs they should wait until its won before shouting there mouths off another hammering from man city and u will struggle again at the weekend draw or maybe loose then its back to square one by xmas we will be on a run and we will sit top maybe on goal difference then whallop you at ibrox and then its ours to loose i say look at joey his shouting off got him nowhere
I can't wait until they **** it all up chasing the euro dream hope yous make europa after xmas to proper keep you busy cause i can't wait to troll your selic pages and spouting the same crap as you lot obsessed obsessed obsessed.
22 Sep 2016 17:39:01
Wiss - by your logic you're not a country mile ahead of Inverness never mind us! You've already hit the dizzying heights of scraping past a few amateur teams in CL qualifying and so much so you're players thought they could get a result in the Nou Camp! It has been downhill since and will no doubt continue that way!
22 Sep 2016 19:52:47
Again it's back to the CL! Somewhere u are nowhere near getting into! I'm talking about a competition that we're both in! And are so far ahead of the rest it's scary! And in my opinion hearts and the sheep will be closer to us than u will! And this isn't going by the humpin the champs dished out! This is going by the woeful performances u have served up against the teams from the bottom half, both home and away! I'm being serious when I say I can't believe yous actually think your going to get anywhere near the champs! It's staggering!
22 Sep 2016 16:53:43
Kaney1983 we never claimed to be the most perfect football side in scotland when we played alloa.
22 Sep 2016 18:29:32
RFCinfinity. amatuer teams on route to Champs League. fair enough. i guess amatuer teams can go to San Siro and beat inter milan. supoose its the same as livingston, alloa, falkirk taking points of the rangers.
i can admit that being in the group of death in the Champs League is way way beyond Celtics level. chasing 3rd and the europa league is best we can hope for. but i would rather be in that position than were The Rangers find themselves.
No retail income!
sitting 5th in table!
skelped 5-1 by the team they hate most!
paying joey barton 1 mill a season to promote his book!
having an average manager (who's achieved what exactly? ) who seems to be in the Guardiola bracket according to deluded fans!
slag BR all you want about his last season at liverpool but cold hard facts are that he fin 2nd in the premier league. something only Wenger, Pellegrini, Ferguson, Benitez, Mourinho have done in the last 14 years.
were was warbutons magic hat against us (fact were has it been all season? )
22 Sep 2016 18:42:11
Stirling: if brown is so poor. then what haapened during the midfield battle on the 10th?
mkay has no end product (living off his goals earlier this year)
are you seeming to forget that your talented squad couldn't beat hibs in the final and have struggled to win against killie, hamilton and Ross County this year.
How many goals has Waghorn scored against teams in the Top League?
Dembele has scored more goals against The Rangers in one game than Waghorn has against teams in the top league in the 16 months he has been at The Rangers.
21 Sep 2016 14:55:08
Absolutely disgusting article in herald this morning regarding joey barton who may be able to point to the Ian Black situation where another player was found to have breached the SFA gambling regulations and did not have his contract terminated.
21 Sep 2016 15:53:18
I have not read the article, so was wondering why it was disgusting?
21 Sep 2016 19:31:04
Yes, please explain. Is it because it doesn't add to the witch hunt?
I pointed out yesterday that both black and simmonsen both were found guilty of the offence and not sacked.
Barton is Barton. I said at time it was a mistake to sign him and got the usual Warburton is God comments telling me I was negative and not a rangers fan etc etc.
But for me the 'disgusting' thing is the leaking of this story and the pathetic witch hunt that has followed. Warburton has not handled this even close to properly.
I hate Chris Sutton (and much of his winging is over the top) but he does have a point with his criticism- that's why Mr faultless has snapped back. Because he can't handle criticism (hence overreacting to Barton and Sutton) and its all a bit close to the bone.
22 Sep 2016 12:03:56
Basically the same team, don't think so.
22 Sep 2016 16:16:18
got to ask honest ger how has he overeacted to all of this?
barton had a loud argument with the manager infront of the rest of the team okay back in the day souness would have battered him and kept it behind closed doors but the media aren't daft and eventually want information as to why barton wasn't on the team sheet .
the manager had to say something after barton the loudmouth came out and spoke about it in public and was on radio and such without the clubs permission.
that for me is enough to suspend a player that hasn't really added anything to the team.
and as for Sutton he just said he has no respect for the guy but c'mon even the celtic fans don't have any respect for him
21 Sep 2016 14:43:51
Could making Halliday the captain last night have been a way of sending a message to Barton?
21 Sep 2016 16:48:00
I said that earlier and everyone disagreed.
21 Sep 2016 19:36:29
Yes, and its beyond pathetic.
When two employees argue a manager is supposed to intervene in a fair, impartial and balanced manner.
Not give one the captaincy (even though it's just for a game) and force the other out the club.
A very clear message has been sent to Barton- you aren't wanted or needed.
Another message was Warburton making a point of not saying that after the suspension Barton would be back and we would move on.
22 Sep 2016 12:57:58
Said before and will again. The Barton incident poorly handled by a manager who talks like the coaching manual and has found a distraction from his own inadequacies.
Club placed the matter in the public domain, thus opening the way for Barton to speak publicly.
Given that none of us actually knows what happened I doubt there is any legitimate reason for contract termination and the contract would have to be honoured in full if they want Barton out, circa £1.5 million. Money we simply don't have!
Walter, Souness or Mcleish would have handled it better because they are football people and man managers
Too many rushing to judgement on the basis of paper talk and the views of journalists like English, all of whom hate the Bears.
Barton should have been fined, be training with the youngsters and playing again in three weeks.
Do we need another drawn out legal case with massive lawyers fees over a bust up which happens in football on a regular basis? Grow up!
22 Sep 2016 16:22:08
honest ger halliday has been one of the hardest working players and was captain before when Wallace wasn't available so that not warbs being impartial and from what I gathered it started with barton being a d*ck halliday calling him on it warbs impartially coming to see what the problem was and barton starting on the manager. so
what is your problem with warbs.
I love the guy but have two problems with him
1) didn't shore up the defence the way everyone knew he had to
2) doesn't change the formation
other than that he is a great manager.
21 Sep 2016 14:36:44
I was wanting to leave this alone but when we signed Barton, he went on twitter saying Brown wasn't in his league and he was going to be the best player in Scotland (which, btw, is a undermining his own team mates), when i said he shouldn't make comments like this and that he should do his talking on the park, i was slated for this and people said, he was better than Brown and he was right to say what he wants on twitter etc. I wonder if those same people are thinking the same now?
21 Sep 2016 15:42:18
in his day scott brown couldn't lace his boots it's true everybody's seen how good he can be. but if he comes back and plays he has got to prove his day hasn't passed.
21 Sep 2016 14:49:52
It is categorical, Joey Barton IS a better player than Scott Brown, Andy Halliday, Jason Holt, John McGinn, Nir Bitton et al.
He has played at the highest level in England almost his entire career, done well enough in France and was a stand out in the winning team of possibly the hardest league in world football, so to say that over the course of 5 months he has become less a player than a man who daren't challenge himself at the highest level and stays where he feels comfortable is laughable.
No Joe hasn't showed up well for us, yes he should have chosen his sound-bites more carefully, and yes the whole fall out has been an unwanted distraction (both from him and the club) .
However, his undoubted ability can not be questioned, and I feel that with a different manager (say for example Walter, Harry Redknapp etc that get the best out of difficult characters) we would have saw all of those qualities.
Our system and style doesn't suit his play, he is an in the trenches kind of player (see Burnley stats last season) and much the same as Garner and OHalloran - I don't think our system suits these players and its such a shame to have spent money on them to then not get the best from them, that falls at the managers door. I digress however, I think that Joey has been used as a punch bag for a lot of fans looking to excuse the inept performances from players and staff so far this season and the only game we have impressed for 90mins was against a team from the lower division (is that maybe our level? )
21 Sep 2016 17:25:05
Please tell me how , and what exactly has joey Barton done in the game of football.
It's pathetic, and through blue tinted specs your making these assumptions, Barton is nothing but a thug, who has 1 cap, and won nothing in the game to warrant what your saying.
21 Sep 2016 17:32:48
Cant agree with that, if you read his interviews he's been doing for his book he is an absolute ned, tallking about doing Scott Brown if it was 1 on 1.also basically saying he's been rubbish because he's playing with rubbish. and for the undoubted statement, don't make me laugh. Kris Boyd hit it on the head for me, he's used us and he's a disgrace.
21 Sep 2016 17:56:19
Blueblazer I noticed you missed out the points that this is also a man that has been sent to prison for common assault he also stubbed a cigarette out on a youth team players face. So Scott Brown is a better player and a better person And he is still going on about he would do Scott brown one on one the man is a complete thug which you think is fine in your eyes, so it tells us all which kind if person you are.
22 Sep 2016 00:12:29
You say in his day scott brown coukdnt lace his boots at what stage of his career was HIS DAY? I recall a gobby wee ned floating from club to club not really achieving much. But i am really glad your club signed him the two seem a good fit hope he stays for the remainder of his contract.
22 Sep 2016 04:46:25
Listen, the be all and end all is at their peaks Barton WAS twice the player lego could ever hope to be, if you think any differently you are on another planet. The problem with jb is his attitude and conduct simple as. I would have hoped at 34 he would have screwed the nut and helped bring on younger players but clearly his attitude is still the same. We have a big decision to make regarding his future but I trust Warbs and Weir to get it right.
22 Sep 2016 08:02:48
Bluedie - I didn't once touch on his character really only his ability, he may well be a ned, but so was Ian Ferguson, Barry Ferguson, Charlie Miller et al - this doesn't detract from their footballing ability, and whilst he may be a ned in terms of his upbringing and his speech, he actually puts himself across far more eloquently than two thirds of the posts on this site.
bigp - I didn't say in his day, I said he is . that means now. current, not past tense. Brown has hidden himself in a league that provides no real challenges to his ability since his first season trying to establish himself at Celtic
dth100 - Duncan Ferguson served time in prison, did it make him any less a player? As did Tony Adams, Micky Quinn, George Best, Eric Cantona, Dennis Wise and Patrick Kluivert (FYI it was a cigar) Joey is a controversial character and that was clear long before we signed him, like him or loathe him, my point was about his ability.
memaself - Your point is a confusing one, he played week in week out, and (a few incidents/ tackles aside) he was a good footballer, you don't need to win things to be classed as a good player (Alan Shearer)
21 Sep 2016 22:41:50
Memaself
Think he has played around 250 games in the English Premiership? Wouldn't say that was nothing.
21 Sep 2016 22:25:35
Too many people are far too easily persuaded that Barton is a good player simply on the basis of his CV. I have only seen him in the flesh in a Rangers jersey and he has been slow, at fault for goals and non threatening in attack. Perhaps he is simply past his best but I cannot understand those who want to dwell on his past record on paper. The guy does not have the ability to wear the jersey on the evidence I have seen, it doesn't matter what his past record was.
21 Sep 2016 22:30:30
What actually has Barton ever done in his career except cause trouble. had a good year last year? Not that good had to move to Scotland to get game time he should be banned by the club contract should already be in the bin utter disgrace to be talking about the incident on live to for the amusement of others. Everyone gave him the chance but has been raised eyebrows since day one with all his talk anyone saying he can come good are on the moon team was looking much better since he's been away no doubt caused trouble in the dressing room.
21 Sep 2016 13:03:21
Only happens with our great club but, absolutely love the difference in attitude towards Queen of the South, before the game and after.
Reaction prior to the game - confident team at the top of the Championship, scoring goals, will cause Rangers problems, Rangers haven't been playing well. They'll be tested.
Reaction after the game - it's only Queen of the South.
Only in Scotland, what a country we live in.
21 Sep 2016 17:23:04
spot on thorn! last night wasnt just a win against lower league? remember they beat us 3-0 in 2015 it was an all round good performance could easily have been more some of our play was an absolute joy to watch hopefully there will be a lot more like this and it is another semi final 2 lower league teams were in the scottish cup final a lower league team was in the league cup final so i think we aren't in to bad a shape atm apart from the jb saga also anyone tell me why brian kennedy buying shares would be a bad thing for rangers?
21 Sep 2016 17:35:06
Got to agree Thorn76 big Mutton was the same on the commentary aswell then in todays paper he's going on abt how alloa are flying and undefeated in the cup and it could b tricky for selik.
21 Sep 2016 18:16:40
Their attitude is disgusting.
Watching from start to finish. I've never seen a grown man react like that before.
They seem to completely appease Suttons rants and let him say and do whatever he wants.
Craigan did say Boyd was put on the spot, asking about the challenge and pointing out that Sviatchenko should have been sent against Inverness.
They completely blanked that and just kept doing their pointless bile filled rants.
21 Sep 2016 18:30:49
Hranted Forresters tackle was a straight Red but big Mutton couldn't stop going on abt it for the rest of the game. his rant back in 2003 after dunfermline is a measure or the man.
21 Sep 2016 20:27:10
It's quite amazing how a guy with such a one sided, bias, twisted opinion gets to be the main pundit on every televised game Rangers have on BT Sport.
Quite a state of affairs considering its been almost fifteen years since that incident.
21 Sep 2016 23:59:47
Sutton is paid to make comments that make people comment! In this respect, he is very, very good.
I don't buy this anti-Rangers stuff though. He is equally scathing about Celtic and referees and anything else that he fancies having a go at. His comment about big DJ last night was pretty amusing. But someone having a go at Rangers - and with some justification in respect of Forrester's challenge - does not make them anti-Rangers.
And even if he was - so what.
21 Sep 2016 12:33:02
So here's a wee debate.
Who would you have as captain?
Now before we start I would like to say I'm a fan of Wallace and ever grateful he stuck with us. He's a great ambassador. However he just isn't a leader on the park for me and I'm not sure it helps his game any.
Kiernan and Wilson have stood in but neither have taken a game by the horns and neither a guaranteed starter (Wilson possibly) .
Other possibilities again are not guaranteed games - Miller, Halliday.
So it's a hard choice!
If Halliday isgoing to play most of the time and keep up the way he has the last 2 games he gets my shout.
He would definitely install in others what it means to play for the Gers!
21 Sep 2016 12:53:18
EITHER HALLIDAY OR HOLT .
I agree Wallace does nothing as captain but I am a fan even though he has been below par recently.
holt and halliday are engines that run all day and play with heart. I'd definitely go for one of them.
21 Sep 2016 14:04:48
Love wee Holt n he's been missed but not captain material just a smashing wee player.
21 Sep 2016 14:15:44
To me its whoever talks and keeps everyone motivated. I vote Halliday as at half time last night, just after waggy missed his chance he was straight over to him hand on back keeping him motivated as they walked off the park. that's what a captain doe in my eyes.

Halliday has the passion for the captains job I think.
22 Sep 2016 11:48:15
Wallace. He's the captain.

Swift message to the prophets of doom who seem to monopolise the finances page.
If our situation is as dire as you make out why would someone buy over 72000 shares.
21 Sep 2016 10:51:12
buy over 72000 shares? mate that is maybe 20k worth of shares, not exactly a lot. if you said 720,000 I'd be more interested.
21 Sep 2016 11:18:49
Also, possibly the seller took anything for them, to get something against his outlay!
21 Sep 2016 12:28:39
The argument from the OP is a fallacious argument and is known as "argument from incredulity".
21 Sep 2016 14:28:18
BossHogg, your explanation of the OP's comment can be simply described as 'pish'. lol
72000 shares selling at thruppence ha'penny for 3 dozen doesn't exactly amount to much, does it? lol HH.
21 Sep 2016 14:56:29
How do you know how much they sold for pussy Bob?
21 Sep 2016 19:48:00
If it was 720,000 it would be something but in reality even that is not a lot. 72,000 is pocket change and no big deal. Just someone cashing out that probably got the shares for nothing in the first place!
21 Sep 2016 19:54:08
Rangers shares are not traded on the SE anymore so its hard to get a value and a trade would be between two people I think.
how did this come into public 'knowledge'?

Really impressed with the performance last night albeit V Championship opposition, if anything it was a much needed confidence bosster to the players on the field to reminder them what they are capable off when they actually play free flowing with pace in the passing! slick one touch football in the lead up to a few chances is exactly what will finish teams in the SPFL this season and we have to get back to playing that style the full game and not just for the second half against QOTS. thought Halliday played a blinder, McKay and Holt very impressive, Niko i must admitt wasnt overly impressed, yes he played some very smart pases that only he is capable off but again looked off par at times especially with some first touches. Waghorn scored three good goals but needs to offer abit more to his supporting attackers, if we stay away from this side to side and go for abit more penetration like the latter stages of the game last night i have a feeling things are about to pick up!
Team for Sunday?
21 Sep 2016 12:57:54
id stick with the same team tbh.
well except clint hill who for me even in a game he wasn't realy tested he looked out of breath and very very very very slow.
put it this way the whole team impressed me except clint hill last night so i'd go for them.
21 Sep 2016 14:38:35
What did you make of Crooks when he came on? for me he didn't do anything wrong apart one time at the back he turned and turned and ended up losing the ball in a bad area but apart from that seemed decent enough, would you give hima chance at the back?
21 Sep 2016 15:58:13
Personally thought Clint Hill done ok last night, done everything he had to do and unlucky not to score .
21 Sep 2016 18:45:03
Team for Sun -wes/ tav/ wilson/ sendeross/ wallace--halliday/ holt/ windass--waghorn/ mckay/ miller.
21 Sep 2016 22:15:29
Wallace should be nowhere near the starting 11.
{Ed039's Note - ???????????)
21 Sep 2016 19:50:52
It should be the same starting eleven and that includes Hill. I am not a fan, I think he is past it but we don't have a lot of choice at the back these days.
The rest of the team looked good and McKay looked far better coming off the bench. Maybe Fotheringham for Gilks but the rest of the team should stay the same. If we go at Aberdeen then we will beat them and it could be by quite a few goals!
21 Sep 2016 10:36:47
Last night was pretty good and not the time to criticise but I'll raise an example of what often baffles me about today's football. The pass from Tavernier to a QOS player that lead to Wilson's booking. It's not an interception, not a pressure moment, nothing but a direct short pass to an opponent. It's almost as if the player is colour blind and it's not a one off. I never saw Sandy Jardine do that once in over 10 years. I just don't get it.
21 Sep 2016 12:59:22
maybe they are watching R/ Kiernan play and he is rubbing off.
21 Sep 2016 19:53:50
Sandy Jardine and Eric Caldow were unique. You will never get a player that even comes close to them. No other team in Scottish Football has had such quality and few teams in England or in Europe have had that quality either.
If Jardine was playing today he would be worth millions as would Caldow but it is a new Era and we are fortunate that we have such memories.

I am not one to slag our team or our players, we will be there and there ababos the end of the season and think we will kick on now . I have not said much about Barton and thought he would of been a great signing. it's not worked but what is clear is he is a moron that does not suit our style and I don't want to see him in a Gers top again we knew he had baggage but so did gazza and that worked out fine . The boy can't keep his mouth shut saying he would be a better manager of England he has to much to say and in England they my dislike him but here you are public enemy number 1 see at joey PS great result and performance last night onwards and upwards.
21 Sep 2016 12:31:06
I'm waiting until after we play Aberdeen to reassess our situation as you can't learn much from beating a lower league team at home.
21 Sep 2016 13:02:19
look that was a great result against a team in form so will be great for confidence and hopefully help us on sunday!
that being said bosshogg I do agree that sunday will tell us where we will be come the end of the season either 2nd or 3rd I think as we won't catch celtic now.
21 Sep 2016 18:07:37
Disagree james, whos to say celtic don't start picking up injures like we've had and go on a run like ours, Leicester proved last season anything can happen in football, remember its still early in the season, they've still got 5 cl games before they get put out so hopefully burn them out a bit, seen after the Barcelona gamehow quickly ghey tired against ict, i guarantee this season is going to be closer than what most people expect, especially if they somehow get through cl as unlikely as that is, because celtic are shit, just like the rest of Scottish football is.

After my sons training on Monday night livi u20's played alloa on the pitch and the boy knox was outstanding I've seen him as a bit part player in the first team but in this game he was the main man and for a 16 year old who is quite small to play like this in a high paced physical match was very impressive. He was deployed on the right wing but cut in behind the striker and was comfortable going over to the left, but it was the things he was able to do when travelling at pace and with players clattering into him he is someone that we really have to get by making livi a respectable offer in January as this boy has a big future.
21 Sep 2016 10:27:52
Agree gary75 boy Knox looks a great player but sure he said he would prefer to try England . It wouldn't do any harm to go for him in Jan .
21 Sep 2016 12:29:37
If he's that good then i'm sure the other mob will be sniffing about and will be able to offer much more for him unfortunately. Hopefully he and his folks will see that coming to Rangers he will actually get a game and not just stagnate whilst the big money signings play week in and week out.!
