Good luck to Scotland in your friendly today guys.

I would like to wish the best of luck to my vikingr brothers Denmark and Sweden in their respective world cup qualifiers.

Difficult match for my nation tonight at home to Switzerland.
Hopefully see a better performance than the one against the Netherlands.

31 Mar 2026 15:54:56
I'm more concerned playera come back without injury, also worried about this Spain training camp holiday, in warm weather for me is good for mentality but also don't think I've ever come back feom any holiday and not felt tired.

Surely training in sun must take it out of you, especially at the end of a long season.

Think your better training in the conditions your going to be playing in.

31 Mar 2026 16:07:32
Forever, u worried about all the money international players being off most days since Aberdeen game.

31 Mar 2026 16:15:27
Non international.

31 Mar 2026 16:41:03
I am worried about that as well, Forever, as we haven't a great track record coming back from a break like that in the past.

31 Mar 2026 17:59:33
Let's stay positive, guys. In Rohl we trust.

31 Mar 2026 22:31:10
Forever, better to have the week away. Mentality benefits you mention, but also warmer temperatures reduce injury risk (improved muscle warm-up). Being in close proximity 24/7 allows for deeper team bonding, improving relationships among players and staff. Just what we might need for the run in.

31 Mar 2026 22:50:21
At least it's not Dubai we are going to, as every time we went there, we were rank rotten in the run in.

29 Mar 2026 21:48:42
I'm sure everyone on here will join me in wishing our superb, former striker Jermain Defoe, in his first manager's job at Woking. 👍🇬🇧 Just after reading his interview and he yet again mentions his love for Rangers and states he would love to be our manager in the future. 👌 He states he would drop everything if he was offered the Rangers manager's job. 👌🇬🇧 Have absolutely all the time in the world for jermain defoe and what a class striker he was .👌🇬🇧 We just never know and one day he could get his wish and be the Rangers manager. 🤔🇬🇧

29 Mar 2026 22:53:42
Good luck to him. I'll never forget the goal he scored against Livi, when the long ball came over the top and he just volleyed it without breaking stride into the bottom corner.

30 Mar 2026 07:36:35
Three Cheers, what a great goal that was, but the goal v Celtic was class. Can't mind who scored. Ball came through to Defoe on edge of the box and he just dummied it to let it run on. Celtic players never had a clue. Top top striker.

30 Mar 2026 08:51:00
I wrote when he played for Rangers he would be our manager one day. Experts know better.

30 Mar 2026 09:59:26
Scotty Arfield scored from Defoe dummy Davie.

30 Mar 2026 10:11:25
Not sure I get what your post is fully about, John. Is Jermaine Defoe going to be Rangers manager? Are the experts you refer to people on here or in the media?

30 Mar 2026 10:32:33
And surely for an I told you so post to work here he would actually need to be made our manager. 🤷

30 Mar 2026 10:52:17
Well, seeing it's the international break, snipers in the woods with very little to aim at, maybe their experts. 😉 😇

30 Mar 2026 12:11:24
Orange, yes I said Rangers planned for the future included Defoe becoming a manager once he proved himself. Many said he did not have the skills to be a Rangers manager on this site v

So clever off u Angus, but he will be one day. He has many friends at Rangers including new owners.

30 Mar 2026 12:46:56
Thanks John, and surely you know by now I post about I told you so posts regularly, so not aiming at your knowledge of the club, just the timing, just one of my mental foibles.



However, worth a discussion if you wish, as that could mean he isn't our manager, as no-one at the club thinks he currently has the skills, or more likely, the experience to be our manager.

He may/will develop them in future, but if he did already then those friends would have pushed for him, as Rohl wasn't hugely experienced.

Again, not critical of what you say or your knowledge, and it may well happen. I would say it is good, though, that he is starting at a low level as he can learn and make mistakes before he comes to us.

30 Mar 2026 12:55:42
The Irish sniper Mr Rick Oshay

30 Mar 2026 13:03:06
From the "Mummy" Cheers. 😉 😄

30 Mar 2026 13:04:40
Played by Liam Cunnigham, an Irish man, lately known as "Ser Davos Seaworth."

30 Mar 2026 13:23:32
Constant snipes and no bans only me. 🤦‍♂️

30 Mar 2026 13:25:15
Angus, you're far too good a poster to go down that route.

30 Mar 2026 14:52:25
Good luck, Jermaine, in your new role. I hope you progress well. 🫡

30 Mar 2026 15:10:32
No worries, John. And I wasn't sniping at you, I just didn't get your post. So, there is a plan in place that, once Defoe cuts his teeth, he could possibly be Rangers manager?

30 Mar 2026 15:20:55
Orange, I know u were not, that's not your style.

But Angus can't resist, although he does admit to it.

30 Mar 2026 15:30:10
Correct three cheers, absolute beauty.
Loved his goal vs Celtic though. Celebrated that more than the others that day. Was delighted for him.

30 Mar 2026 17:04:32
Davis and Defoe as coaches to Stevie G and maybe Steve Holland as tactic man would be attractive for me in future.

30 Mar 2026 17:12:12
Stevie, that was closer than u think.

30 Mar 2026 17:17:37
I have never seen that film Fork, as I have a phobia of bandages and scary monsters. 🤕
I do know that Rick's partner in crime is called Eamon, 2 of Ireland's greatest snipers.

30 Mar 2026 17:31:38
What was the stumbling block with that one, John?

30 Mar 2026 17:49:06
The two who were sacked.

30 Mar 2026 17:53:11
Orange, the stumbling block was Andrew Cavanagh taking the bull by the horns and appointing his number 1 target.

30 Mar 2026 19:40:28
John, you are right, probably, but I do comment on every ITYS post, I just can't help myself.

On Defoe though, I also think he isn't ready to be our boss yet either, as he has less experience at any level.

So you may be right, he might get that experience and eventually become our manager, but I would want him to show he deserves it first in a managerial role.

30 Mar 2026 19:46:46
Eamon 'O' Shay. 👀👍😄

30 Mar 2026 19:54:29
No it's Eamon Badley and that's how he missed. 🫣

30 Mar 2026 20:17:07
Peeing masel 🤣🤣 never heard that, belter mate. 😄👍👍

30 Mar 2026 20:51:32
It wasn't an ITYS post by John. Funny how people take things the wrong way on here.

31 Mar 2026 01:02:25
Defoe has a good few years yet before his name and Rangers manager can be mentioned together for me.

31 Mar 2026 08:28:29
Thanks, Coopersdad. Got to say how to influence a goal without touching the ball.

31 Mar 2026 10:08:02
Angus, at no time have I said he is ready to be our boss.

31 Mar 2026 10:24:25
John, I know that. Adding to the debate as I don't think he is ready either

Your post wasn't one of the Itys post I normally respond to because of that, but just found myself responding in that way, so apologies.

Look, it is just me. I don't believe that people should get hassle if they get a rumour incorrect but I also don't think that people should also come on and say they were correct on something.




If he is going to be our manager it won't be soon imo (and you seem to agree) and it is good that he is getting a grounding at a lower level. Doesn't guarantee success but means he is making any mistakes in a potentially easier environment.

31 Mar 2026 11:44:18
Don't think people realised how close Stevie was to being our coach/manager again.

Stumbling block was Kevin Thelwell and possibly Patrick Stewart also being involved.
And Defoe and Davis were rumoured to be coming in with Stevie.



Still to this day think it would have been an awesome appointment all round.

But hey that's just me and I'm not wanting to start that debate again. 🙈🤣

It's just my personal opinion, nothing else.

31 Mar 2026 12:13:04
Just for the record - me too, Stig. The three of them would have been awesome.

31 Mar 2026 15:57:02
Just because he was a good player for us and a great person, and obviously still loves the club, doesn't mean he will make a good manager. Let's see what he does at Woking first.


But definitely would love him to be good enough to get that chance one day.

31 Mar 2026 16:42:50
Forever, no one is saying he will become Rangers manager or will be good enough.
The Stig, I'm glad it didn't happen.

29 Mar 2026 15:59:21
Anyone watch itauma's uppercut? sheeeezo, that boy is cute from a different cloth. Future undisputed for sure.

29 Mar 2026 17:07:47
I watched the fight. Boys going to be a world champ. Think he's only 21. Liked everything about him but the speed of his counter punch is electric. First time his opponent has been stopped also.

29 Mar 2026 18:01:34
He's going to the very top in no time at all, if Warren gets his fights organised the young lad will have a title fight by the end of the year.

29 Mar 2026 18:17:31
Best heavyweight in a while will be world champ.

29 Mar 2026 20:57:33
He really is a top prospect, best I've seen in a long, long time. Think he could go on to dominate the top division.

29 Mar 2026 21:20:12
Moses Itauma is a very strong boxer and good for British boxing. The future indeed but at present I do have my doubts however if he is good enough to beat Usyk. He is levels above for me?

30 Mar 2026 13:24:56
I don't think he will fight Usyk FB, but he could fight the winner of Wardley and Dubois for the WBO. Though he and Wardley have the same trainer.

He most likely will be a world champion in the next 2 years.

30 Mar 2026 13:45:11
Defo not ready for Usyk just now, fb, I agree, mate. I don't think Usyk has many fights left though, tbh. Would love that fight though. With Turki Alasheik throwing the money around, we usually get the big fights now, so maybe it could be Usyk's final fight in a year or so, as Itauma's next in line in the rankings, so Usyk needs to fight him or vacate one of his belts, so very interesting what will happen.

🤔

30 Mar 2026 14:57:08
Agree with that Storm and BB4. He will definitely be a world champion in the next 2 years. Turki is also very good for the boxing world. He knows there are potential big fights out there to be made. Fury v Joshua and the winner gets Usyk for the trilogy is the one I think might happen. 🫡

30 Mar 2026 19:15:48
I was asking about you last week fb, as I hadn't seen you post, but was told you had posted the day before. Hope you're well, pal.

30 Mar 2026 20:41:42
All good, BB4, I did respond. Hope you are well too. 🫡

30 Mar 2026 20:53:20
Usyk had stated who his last 3 fights are against and who he wants, and it's the kick-boxer next (pointless fight in my opinion), the winner of Wardley v Dubois, and then last match he wants is greedy belly Tyson Fury.

30 Mar 2026 23:48:36
Yes, the guy was gone but he still attacked, like when Marciano finished Walcott and gave him another on the way down. An absolute monster, this guy will struggle to get the right fights now until they are forced to face him as a number 1 contender for belts.

31 Mar 2026 01:04:02
I think if he wins all 3 Storm he might take on Itauma if he feels he can do it.

31 Mar 2026 01:12:13
There was talk of Usyk vacating the WBC belt, which would be handed to Kabayel. Going with what Warren said, this could ring true, as he said he would like a title fight for Itamau in the summer.

It would be too tight a turn around for the winner of Wardley/Dubois, but if Usyk was to vacate the WBC belt Kabayel may take a fight with Itamau.

31 Mar 2026 11:33:24
RFC, I don't think he will fight after these 3, but you never know. He should have retired after his last fight imo.

29 Mar 2026 12:31:25
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, especially when it comes to horse racing results.

I'm a very timid better, tending to back horses with a small amount of runners, hoping that I'll get a wee EW double, (with very little success by the way), although I like to check all the results each day. Maybe I should change my tactics - they are not really working at all.

I have noticed that a fair amount of horses with "Bear" in their names pop up as winners now and again.

Classic example is as follows;-

Yesterday, Saturday 28/3/26.

1.55 at Curragh, result "Bodhi Bear" 8/1 winner.
1.20 at Doncaster, result "A Bear Affair" 9/2 winner.

£1 EW Double at 8/1 = £10 profit.
£1 EW Double at 9/2 = £5.62 profit.
£2 EW Double at same odds = £107.75 profit

Total profit = £123.37.

Not bad for £8 total stake.

So, so easy to be wise after the event.

29 Mar 2026 14:34:57
I don't bet very often, and when I do it's always just a few quid, no more than a tenner. I like to pick a theme and pick horses with names that suit my theme. It has never worked for me so far, but surely one day the gambling gods will be looking down on me.

29 Mar 2026 16:53:40
Three Cheers, as good a system as any.

One day, "Your boat will come in" as they say.

29 Mar 2026 21:08:03
I bet bbts, but VAR spoils football now, it's like you need to score 3 to get 1.

30 Mar 2026 10:03:46
A poll has come out this morning, Laudrup, from the supporters association in England, and it's clear by a huge margin that fans do not want VAR, it's ruined the game for the fans.

30 Mar 2026 10:52:57
75% I believe. 👍

28 Mar 2026 21:48:57
Sounds like Matondo might be on his way out the door. SK Brann sounded like the destination.

Club waiting on a decision from Jens Hjerto Dahl camp on a summer move.

28 Mar 2026 22:10:14
Good move for Matondo if true. Also think at the right club for him, he will do well. Hopefully for him and Brann this works.

28 Mar 2026 19:40:51
Disappointed with the game. Does anyone think we will have a decent tournament. And is anyone going 2 it?

29 Mar 2026 13:42:17
It was a horrible watch, Flo, but friendlies can be hard to get up for. Yes I'll be there and another few boys from here going as well, mate.

29 Mar 2026 14:19:50
Supposedly we haven't won a friendly at Hampden since 2016, which, if true, is a scary stat. So, not sure we should take any friendly as a basis to say how we will do on WC.

Not going, and if they are on TV in early morning, not even sure I will be staying up to watch on TV.

29 Mar 2026 16:10:25
I won't be going to it and will just watch it from a pub somewhere.

29 Mar 2026 17:13:23
Can't judge from a friendly, as team will be different. I'd like to see Ben Doak 1 side and Curtis the other. With Robo and Tierney and our midfield, I think we will be fine. Trouble for me is cb.

28 Mar 2026 17:52:49
Watching the Scotland game, the one thing that stands out is how they all seem to be the same as Meada very nigaly in the tackle so sly.

28 Mar 2026 19:00:46
Sneaky, you mean scrambled? Maeda knows exactly what he's doing. He'd have been taken out early years ago. He gets away with far too many nasty tackles in our league, mostly doesn't even get a yellow. Does my head in with him knowing what he's doing and getting away with it. Doesn't happen in Europe.

28 Mar 2026 20:13:41
Did you see the England v Uruguay game? They Uraguayians were a sleekit bunch.

28 Mar 2026 22:02:53
Sorry, My Star, I couldn't think of the right word but you're right, I think that the biggest problem in the World Cup is going to be the refereeing. How can a referee who refs in a league that has only a few hundred fans handle a game of this magnitude?
