Anybody know what's happened to Beerman? Seems that Jordan Thompson is being trained up for left back. Could be he is better than Beerman but just seems a bit strange. Any thoughts?

27 Jul 2017 05:53:13
They're away on a competitive u20 tournament, the likes of Barjones, Atakayi etc are all there too, a few have stayed here to train with the seniors as Pedo chose what was the best option for each youngster. I'm guessing as we've already a left-back in the tournament he's stayed home to be around Alves and co rather than sit on the bench there.

Thanks matt_rfc.

Jordan Thompson is a player I thought would be given a chance under Warburton. I seen him play for a spell in the first friendly against Burnley and he looked technically sound for his age. Would have had him in Hallidays role over the next 2 years. He would probably be worth a fortune now. Talking of Halliday, surely he isn't playing DM for that Gabala mob? I hear he is doing well. Probably playing LM where he's suppose to play right enough.

@Nassau_Bear according to reports Andy Halliday played CM tonight against Panathanaikos

Read an article on ibrox noise 're Beerman situation. Seems to pretty much over "my question " above. It was only a question about does anyone know what's the thinking 're Beerman! Beats me why there are 9 disagrees to a simple question! Or am I missing something? Thanks matt_rfc for your reply. Ibrox noise pretty much asking and and answering the same question.

26 Jul 2017 20:33:25
Will all the naysayers please stand up. Saturday we drew with a team that have millions at their disposal and today we beat a premier league team, again who have millions to spend. Time we get off pedro and the rest of the teams case and start getting behind our team.

They'll be some bumps n slips along the way but we have to remain positive. Two or three more signings and we'll have a complete team.

26 Jul 2017 21:01:47
Totally agree another step in the right direction many people had rangers done and dusted after the European defeat hope now they might give the team a chance

26 Jul 2017 21:16:15
Well said

26 Jul 2017 21:50:57
Things moving in the right direction, long may it continue plus from what l read the great unwashed were lucky not to get pumped by 3 or 4 tonight

26 Jul 2017 21:55:39
Totally agree. Good to see waghorn score. The guy has taken some stick, yes has missed some good chances but not on purpose, always puts in maximum effort which is all you can ask a player to do. let's hope he can get some form. 442 looks good and will make us harder to beat.

On another note seen somewhere today that there is some sort of crowd funding underway to fund an independent review on Rangers ebts and title strippng etc. I get very angry when I read this. I wonder to myself if this was to happen what the consequences would be. IMO the end of Scottish football. Rangers would boycott all away games and eventually would leave the SPL in revenge, probably forcing Celtic to do the same, the rest if the diddies would then die. Fantasy I know.

On a brighter note Rosenborg got a good result tonight against the skid marks. Seems the lack of paramilitary banners and free Buckfast had an impact on their performance.

26 Jul 2017 21:55:51
Positive comments 👏. That is a great result for the lads and against a premiership team.

Time is all that is needed, Pedro will hopefully crack the tactics and the lads can kick on after games like that. 👍

26 Jul 2017 22:08:57
Totally agree well said lads. If Pedro can get waghorn scoring and we are playing as a team then he's doing something right 🇬🇧

26 Jul 2017 22:58:38
Friendlies mean nothing. I'll be happy when we start winning our competitive games.

27 Jul 2017 00:19:37
Sgp84. I agree 100% with you. My point tho is aimed at all the pessimistic fans who were calling for pedro to be fired after a couple of poor friendly results.

Ok Europe was pretty bad but it may now be a blessing in disguise. I maybe wrong but after we got dumped out by kuanas didn't we go on to win the league n cup double? Not saying that will happen again but it means we can concentrate on domestic football.

27 Jul 2017 06:15:19
James2016, it wasn't " a couple of poor friendly results " it was the worst results in our history and he is now moving away from 4-3-3 which any one that was watching us for the last few years could tell was not working for us, if we carry on improving as we are the NOBODY will be on ANYBODIES back .

27 Jul 2017 14:25:25
The naysayers have all disappeared because they can't complain. Wait till we lose a couple of games and they'll all be back

27 Jul 2017 14:26:28
Does look good, but is friendlies mind but confidence is growing

27 Jul 2017 14:26:53
It was pre season friendlies

27 Jul 2017 14:30:59
The naysayers have gone into hiding. As fans I would expect them to come out and at least comment on the recent positives but no, they've all gone quiet.

What kind of fan sits silently on the sidelines until they find something to complain about.

The team appear to be making real progress after a tricky start. everyone who calls themselves a fan should get behind the board, the manager and every player now.

27 Jul 2017 14:32:15
Set up 442 again I believe! That's the way to go I think

27 Jul 2017 14:34:49
It's an improvement for sure but the proof of the pudding will come against Motherwell.

27 Jul 2017 14:35:30
That's right jyf, friendly results, while very encouraging given most of our results you mentioned, are never a true gauge. Pedro and his squad have a long way to go to prove they are anything like the real deal. That said I'm a lot happier since the Euro exit as we seem to be getting it together.

The Motherwell game is the first marker. We'll see if they can step up with a good performance and 3 points. On another note by all accounts a flat night at the piggery with hardly a shot at goal and very lucky not to concede at least a couple of goals. All in all yesterday was a good day for us.

And as for the so called privately funded enquiry into the ebt years - the decision has been made. In any case Gers were not breaking any legal laws at the time. Avoidance and evasion are 2 completely different terms. If the haters want to throw away money that's fantastic!

We should boycott every away ground on too of that and really hit them where it hurts. Losing your main source of income is never a good thing lol

1-2 candias and holt koala for Watford

26 Jul 2017 19:27:26
I put Holt as the scorer but wait it was waghorn

26 Jul 2017 19:31:19
Seems waghorn got the winner not holt .

26 Jul 2017 19:32:57
im reading waghorn and candeias scorers

26 Jul 2017 19:38:26
Is that full time now

27 Jul 2017 09:20:21
my follower blueblood, happy to have you on board mate.


Candeias looks a bit special

27 Jul 2017 14:21:21
Says holt on watford twitter

26 Jul 2017 19:09:05
Watford 1-2 Rangers final score

26 Jul 2017 17:05:19
TEAM ' @watfordfc v Rangers FC XI: Alnwick, Tavernier, Cardoso, Alves, Wallace, Candeias, Dorrans, Jack, Windass, Miller, Herrera.

27 Jul 2017 03:44:43
Windass? Pedro has more patience than me

27 Jul 2017 13:14:02
Where did you get the info mate as I can't find anything and is there any place streaming it

26 Jul 2017 13:12:44
Cannot believe waghorn saying now that he's not in the team he will have to make every shot count if he gets a chance, hello every time you pull that jersey on you should have been making every shot count you had the honour to. play for rangers you idiot.

26 Jul 2017 14:38:28
I'm sure he tried to make every shot count last season. Sounds like a talk more for the manager. It comes down to ability and he wasn't able to. No right foot at all and can't header a ball and he's no number 9. Playing wide right isn't the answer either as all defenders know he's going to try cut inside and, unlike Messi, he can't. Miller playing wide, same thing. Hopefully one of our new signings is a proper striker with both feet and good in the air. I wouldn't say Waghorn's an idiot as he is doing his best at a level not good enough for Rangers.

27 Jul 2017 00:44:19
Also translates into what Forrester said meaning he's happy to sit on the bench and collect a wage

27 Jul 2017 13:10:25
We heard a lot of chat from him after the OF semi that if he got another chance at Ibrox he would bury it. We saw what happened to that prediction.

26 Jul 2017 12:23:39
So it's been finalised, no title stripping and case closed can't be reopened

26 Jul 2017 13:48:52
Was never going to happen.

CFC will be ragin and will be seeking their own legal representation.

26 Jul 2017 15:02:58
They will never let it go

26 Jul 2017 15:05:31
Yes the timplosion is already underway comedy gold listning to the reptiles spewing get it right round them

26 Jul 2017 15:59:56
The comedy is all coming from your lot fergie, its hilarious you even think its anywhere near done. Just like Hector, we wait, then we strike. Patience is all that's required. Nobody wants the cheated titles, we just don't want the cheats to get away with it. Justice will be done

26 Jul 2017 16:16:22
No Chance Bhampot, just be happy were no winning more titles at the current moment, give yae a wee bit a time to catch up, we will wait patiently. then strike and win a few more titles. then a few more after that aswell =)

26 Jul 2017 16:26:01
Keep it comi g bhampot i nearly peed my jammies reading that waffle

27 Jul 2017 00:37:55
the Pacific shelf 595 the newco fans will be absolutely raging!

27 Jul 2017 00:39:39
Doesn't stop the unwashed and all other quarters of the league having a pop. Glad it's settled to a degree, we can focus on the season ahead now and put this nonsense behind us.

Here's hoping for a good start and good performances in the last 2 friendly matches to get the majority of the team that will start the game against Motherwell more accustomed to competitive football together, still stand by that I believe the group will come good #optomisticloyal

27 Jul 2017 13:09:14
Everybody knows that Celtic operated a tax evasion scam when not declaring the true attendance at their home matches in the 60s and 70s. And that's when they won their 9 I.A.R. We were fined £250,000, Celtic received no punishment.

27 Jul 2017 13:10:50
Maybe we should start a campaign to have their titles removed when they lied about their home attendances in the 1960s and 70s

27 Jul 2017 13:11:42
cheating?

An inquiry into paying tax or not is not cheating - after all RFC did offer to settle and HMRC refused.

and if you know your history you will know all about cheating, and are probably the expert.

27 Jul 2017 13:15:02
You should go read there page a few of them going to need heart ops to cure the heartache lol. what pure waffle they spouting. a load of them greeting they ain't signing players to get into cl. greeting they got no defence and worried very worried and so they should be it's a proper giggle reading them haha.
