Does anyone else feel the sfa made a pigs ear of their scheduling of the ramsdens cup and league cup finals, surely they would've been better playing these cup finals before Hampden closed, in the middle of Nov maybe? Any thoughts?

The sfa havnt a clue about anything

Valid point regarding both tournaments. Used to play the league cup final in winter and it's pointless to drag it out until early next year. Would have made sense to play both finals at Hampden but sfa not known for being sensible

What, and miss out on freebies and being fawned on elsewhere. ?

Are you all seriously suggesting that the league cup fixtures should have been rushed through and all played by november (when, on tuesdays and thursdays?) just to get the final at hampden? Get real, honestly. Was that done last time hampden was shut? Of course not. You're just disappointed that we've not got a day out at hampden to look forward to, get over it ffs. This is the weakest accusation i've ever seen thrown at the sfa. Embarassing.

@4 what are you on about? You don't need to rush fixtures through just for a November final. Don't know if your aware but the league cup used to have autumn/winter finals and it didn't because fixture congestion. Your post just goes to show you would find an argument in an empty room

Sfa not responsible for dates spl organise these tournaments

@6 I guess there won't be too many people rushing to defend the SPL. The posters are right the League Cup final used to be played earlier in the season and both finals could have been played this year.

Does the rams den actually get played at Hamden? Thought it was the actual real cups

@8 can you please tell us all the amount of real cups you won that you can have a dig at the Ramsdens Cup

29 Sep 2013 20:47:40
@5 To be fair to @4 you haven't answered his question - what was done last time hampden was shut? Here's another one - when was the last time the ramsdens cup final was played at hampden? Its just a bit silly trying to make some conspiracy out of these two cups not having finals at hampden, when there's no basis on which to always expect that anyway.

@9 did Celtic not win the Scottish cup at hampden last year? Maybe remind everybody of his many cups have been played their finals this season?

8 - 0 today and all on here dismissing the SPFL as a one horse race claiming the winners cannot be taken seriously until Rangers are back in it. what does that make Rangers achievements
in a bigger one horse race as majority of opponents are part timers. and you call east enders fickle. lol have a look at yourselves as you celebrate another divisional win. johnnyG.

What are we meant to do? We are where we are, if we were losing you mob would be quick to dish it out. Worry about your own club though.

Old firm results

8-0, and 5-2

Only one exciting to watch, winning by 5 every week yawn. more like subbuteo.

Worry is we spending £30m to win by 7 and could go bust before xmas, when we could have spend £10m and still won. still no financial sense.

Kilmarnock FC biggest ever payment for a player

£340,000 in the 90's

And as for Morton who are part-time and languish at the bottom of their league - oh my.

Nuff said.

2? - When did we spend thirty million?

Good scores for both Celtic & rangers, but correct me if I'm wrong no one won anything special today other than 3 points? 1-0 10-0 10-9 doesn't matter 3 points are 3 points.

As for your bet truebloo good luck, stranger things have happened. IMO it's a bit far of a long shot but makes you watching a game more interesting then batter in. If you lose you lose what you put on, if it comes up then you have the last laught.

Lenny

And normal service will resume when barcelona come visiting lol doug t. s. o

Good to have you back Doug lol

Larky Bear

@4 £9m st. + £12m pre ipo + £22m ipo + £9m this season st £52m

only £10m left, so £42m spent in 18mths, pro rate £30m to win league by 20pts

simples

@8 its not players wages that have bleed us dry its conman in the boardroom.

So when celtic fans talk about the rangers were obsessed, but when the rangers fans talk about the champions league and celtics games it ok.
How does that work?

Oh dear troo bloo- no Messi no Puyol- squeaky bum time for your bet- can see the Eastenders sneaking this one

@11 Puyol has been missing all season and it's not stopped Barca winning all their league games and 1st game in champions league. Messi big blow though.

Bell, foster, moshni, jig, wallace peralta, black, law, mcleod, little, daly bench is temps, aird, crawford, cribari, simonsen so sally has no wingers on again!im getting sick of this big time!he will prob stick on smith and cribari late on. where is barrie mckay?he should be on the right wing and temps on the left give us that flair n pace its not rocket science!

Templeton is our best creative player by some distance and its no coincidence that we are usually rotten and lacking in flair when he doesn't play. Totally sick of McCoist and his tactics. Why pay £700k for someone and then don't play him. Not going back to Ibrox until this diddy McCoist is away, he couldn't manage a s***3.

The Lone Ranger.

Also where is Clarke? Scored 42 goals last season and doesn't even make the bench. Sickened by this p15h management.

The Lone Ranger.

Aye guys, you were right. Only scored 6 goals today (so far)

Fair do's we've scored plenty today which you would expect at home but we need someone like Templeton to unlock defences in tight away matches. Still i'm thankful David Moyes isn't our manager. What a shambles he has made of the United job so far.

The Lone Ranger.

Super ally good team selection now its 8

Lone Ranger The team won 8-0, will you perhaps give Ally some credit for his selection today? Or are you just one of the ones who will moan regardless?xx

Lone Ranger?

You missing Tonto or what?

Nope. How can you give a manager who has the second highest wage bill in the country credit for winning a match against a bunch of part time players at home and who has already got us put out of a cup this season? We won 8 nil and well done to the team but Ally will still never be a manager.

Morton are part time.

If Ally had spent 5, 8 or 10 million and lost the league what would have happened?

All the doomers and gloomers would be on wanting his head.

Well he is winning, and winning well - and yet they want his head - who are these folk??

'We won 8 nil and well done to the team but Ally will still never be a manager. '

Says it all I guess. Some people, eh.

@10- Phaha :0)
Troo Bloo (or should I call you Ally?) now your posts make sense.
"Who are these folk?" That's a familiar cry, I'm sure I remember you asking that before?
Did you type that with one hand whilst waving blank bits of paper around with the other hand ;0)

28 Sep 2013 20:04:45
4) LOL Moyes has been beaten by the most expensively assembled teams ever and by another expensive team with 5 European Cups in their trophy cabinet.

Ally has been beaten by part timers from the likes of East Stirling and Forfar, performed pathetically in every cup he's taken art in bar this years Ramsdens against the smaller teams from one of Europe's worst leagues.

But by your way of thinking maybe if Man U get rid of Moyes then they'll have Ally on their wishlist after beating Stenhousmuir.

Cheers mate. You made me laugh anyway!

I used to love watching Brazil. They had a very simple attitude and game plan.
1. Score at a minimum 1 more goal than the opposition.
2. Score as many goals as possible in the given time.
I am not suggesting for one minute that the rangers are another Brazil but the game ultimately is about scoring goals. Scotland (and in general, Scottish teams) are famous for being glorious losers. We deserve to win but just seem to get pipped at the post. Look at Celtic and AC Milan. Everyone agrees who the best team was on the night but who has the 3points. ? How many young ones talk about a great 0-0 draw or a fantastic game where we JUST lost 1-0! How many will be talking about seeing 8 goals or 5-3 and the fans reaction? Some people will never be satisfied. Me? I want to see goals and points, entertainment cam follow. WeeMan

I posted on here yesterday that I had placed a bet with my bookmaker. The bet was made via my online account. If anyone posters who come on here no how to place an online bet, especially special bets will understand that there paper is not involved - silly punters, so they are.

As for the nasty posters - my bet was made because I like a gamble, not because I hate celtic.

My turf accountant pp gave me odds of 125/1 for Rangers to win ALL league games, and odds of 11/1 for Celtic to lose ALL Champions League games.

To my mind this is a good bet and keeps me interested throughout the various campaigns.

The 'banter' on here certainly can be rather nasty and childish. Some of you really need to take a rain check and a chill pill.

Oh for your interest my bet is two £10s and a £5 double.

My footie bets today are

Arsenal
Spurs
QPR
MK Dons
Luton

Go on my son!

No bitterness here - only football.

28 Sep 2013 16:14:56
Well i'll not be following your tips, fell at the first with Spurs, mug punter. Stevie

Phoned pp to get bet 75/1, now.

You can take a screen shot or post a document if you want if you really have made the bet lol

Ive been racked with guilt about this statement for days now, but here goes,
If Rangers fand applaud and clap Ian Black tomorrow then we have really reached rock bottom lads, and anything Mr McCoist says to alleviate blacks position is simply telling us we mean nothing, i'm sorry but I simply don't think Goughy or Bf or Tel or Griegy especially, would eber even contemplate such support, Please Union Bears, this is not any other player for Rangers, this is a guy who laughed on our pitch when we slaughterd him after he nearly crippled our star player, he smirked as jela lay in crutches, came to Ibrox and tried everything in his power to wind us up and belittle the great Gers, fxxk him, destroy Allys bubble, send Black far away from our club, he means nothing to us, he is a hearts fan (allegedly), he proved to us once and for all he didn't care about our club, he is one of the main reasons my loyalty to Ally McCoist has gone and will never return, Ian Black is a cancer in our club, a man no other Gers manager would have signed, Now the UB sign nonsense about no surrender and this interloper, and he slaps our badge and the imbeciles scream their delight, while he goes home to check his coupon, have we lost our identity completely?
Tommyblue

Doiuf was an animal aswell but got accepted by most rangers fans for winding Celtic players up.

It seems to me that you are trying yet again to have a pop at the manager but using black as your reason for doing so. does anyone know if any other player is betting and betting against their team but getting someone else to place their bet? my answer would be they don't know and the reason blacks case came to light was he stupidly had a phone account however it wasnt deemed important enough to flag up when he was at hearts and ict. BT

The bet was an accumulator for £5. Not an excuse just a fact. He knows he has done wrong. I have done worse things. So don't cheer or clap for the lads utter stupidity. Just go along and give RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB
100% support. that's all I ask.
OCRSC

2 good points gers fans forget this man black was hated by us long be4 he signed I for 1 will never accept him he is a disgrace an shd have been fired FACT


KJA

Don't see the point of booing Black today. Also think your wrong to say no other Rangers manager would have signed him. I remember the early eighties when we signed some woeful players who in my opinion weren't as good as Black. The cancer reference is very extreme and really weakens the point your trying to make. Quite a few other players have had a go at Rangers or the players that have ended up signing for us e. g. Gazza and Mo Johnston yet this wasn't held against them when they joined.

Fans are right to have an opinion and voice it, however booing a player when he has pulled on a Rangers top is too far. Mccoist got it in the eighties and look what he done as a player.
Black done wrong, let's move on and support the whole team. PB

28 Sep 2013 11:57:33
Well said Tommy! Looks like some of the younger bears don't know that we once wouldn't have tolerated the likes of Black. And nobody can tell me me Jock Wallace wouldn't have any problem with Black because my dad knew him and he would have shown Black the door ASAP. I won't repeat my dad's actual take on it :)

@7 would agree. Jock Wallace would have taken him by the scruff of the neck and chucked him onto the Edmiston road. Those days are gone now and you'll find Managers will defend their players to the hilt. Seem to remember Alex Ferguson defending Roy Keane after that disgraceful assault on the Man City player which ended this career

What a nonsense of a post another ally brasher - sick of it, concentrate on supporting the club. 5-0 today
Al

Do you have a link to Fergie defending Roy Keane? If you read the full story it was actually an injury to the guys other leg that ended his career.

He bet against his own team. End of argument.

Gbear

@10 do you have a link saying it was an injury to his other leg that caused him to retire?

@8 & @10 actually you are both right and wrong. Fergie did actually defend Keane regarding the tackle and actually said that Keane had no case to answer after he commented in his book that he deliberately fouled Haagland. So yes he did defend him however the tackle didn't end his career as he played on after the incident and did have problems with his other knee which eventually decided his fate. I do however get the point post 8 makes where managers never criticise their players these days and that methods used years ago just don't happen now. @ 10 I am a bit surprised you didn't mention that it was a bad tackle rather than just have a go @ 8 when the point was quite valid

N8 I agree jock wallace would have gave him black yes black eyes lol
