Common Sense?
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has proposed a change to the offside rule that would mean attackers are onside if any part of their body is in line with the last outfield defender.
1.) 08 May 2025 10:42:50
He has been speaking about this for over 2 years now MPH.
2.) 08 May 2025 10:48:39
Dunno how thick's the line? I'm confused what was the question again lol.
3.) 08 May 2025 10:56:58
MPH, has to be, there no advantage to the attacker for having his big toe behind the defender. i'd say there needs to be clear daylight between the attackers last goal scoring body part and the defender for it to be offside this would mean there was a clear advantage. Considering its when the ball is kicked and not when they receive it the current offside rule is utterly ridiculous and ruining the game.
4.) 08 May 2025 11:10:53
Gersgirl that is what he is saying it should be. It will just lead to a different argument as to where the line is though, i.e. his heel was an inch behind the defenders front toe.
5.) 08 May 2025 13:05:06
Angus, that's why I'm saying there needs to be clear daylight to be an obvious advantage.
02 May 2025 15:52:33
Heard a name at work today from 2 different people.
Don't know if he's been mentioned before.
Christian Eichner?
I know absolutely nothing about him.
1.) 02 May 2025 16:23:57
42 MPH Karlsruher head coach, same as you bud had to look. ?.
2.) 02 May 2025 16:27:28
Literally thought you meant karlsruher play at 42 mph ?.
3.) 02 May 2025 16:29:10
Lol Dizzee???.
4.) 02 May 2025 16:44:47
They are 8th in BL2 so on paper doesn't look like they are doing anything special. But I don't know anything about that league if that's better than expected or not.
5.) 02 May 2025 17:27:54
The name doing rounds yesterday Struber seems a realistic 1. He's worked for red bull in Austria and usa so will be known to the owners and Thirlwell.
6.) 02 May 2025 17:27:56
Bee only 7 off top spot though. it seems really tight on the top 10 teams there all within 9 points of the league. looking at table with last 5 results and no team is consistently winning so the standard must be fairly equal.
also good young German coaches get the chance in lower divisions, u19s and reserve leagues over there so he could be half decent but don't know.
7.) 02 May 2025 18:22:10
Done the same, Fork.
Doesn't have a great record as they have finished 6th, 12th, 7th and 5th in League 2.
Currently 8th. 7 points of 1st with 3 games left to go.
Some well supported teams in that league with 4 teams getting 50k and above!
Asked them who told them and it was a friend of a friend.
Not sure if some are just throwing names about like confetti and hope they are correct.
8.) 02 May 2025 19:32:42
Looking that way bud??.
9.) 02 May 2025 21:01:20
Mentioned him about 4 weeks ago my friend, great man and coach.
10.) 03 May 2025 07:26:31
Apologies, Asa.
Must have missed it.
12 Apr 2025 17:35:47
Seen online. Not sure how much truth in it.
Breaking News: The #49ers enterprises purchase of the storied Ibrox club "Rangers FC" is expected to be completed by May, per sources.
The new ownership will spend nearly $100M to hold a 51% stake in the club.
Current Rangers FC CEO Patrick Stewart will address supporters on April 23 and this will be one of the topics!
1.) 12 Apr 2025 18:17:27
The takeover will be concluded.
It is just a matter of timing the announcement.
2.) 12 Apr 2025 18:58:33
I can't see anything derailing this takeover.
What a start it would be to this new era if we could win the Europa league.
3.) 12 Apr 2025 20:26:20
If they win the league next week we may well announce it the next Day.
4.) 12 Apr 2025 22:02:29
Lets get past bilbao first eh!
5.) 13 Apr 2025 05:02:28
If they win the league at the next league game then we'll def announce something major to grab the headlines away from them lol.
6.) 13 Apr 2025 09:23:10
Tbh Gersgirl that news won't even be that big with them winning the league as we all know it's coming but that would be a cracking move from us to steal their limelight.
7.) 13 apr 2025 12:31:06
u can wait for bilbao, i'm able to think of two things at once myself, and il continue to di#cuss the takeover.
8.) 13 Apr 2025 12:49:37
@gersgirl and bigbluejim is if you lose today will the takeover be announced today/ tomorrow them?
9.) 13 Apr 2025 13:41:36
100 million and i bet people still think the old shareholders did everything unselfishly for club
They walked away with huge profit and good wages all those years and did a poor job too.
10.) 13 Apr 2025 18:41:19
Big blue more likely cup final weekend.
11.) 13 Apr 2025 20:15:30
Forever they weren't paid a wage and why would they give their shares away that they paid money for. some of the shares being sold would be in possession for the portion of the £100million in loans they gave to the club to keep it afloat since 2012. perhaps not totally unselfish but a love for the club would be why they did it.
12.) 13 Apr 2025 23:20:13
Might be right John just hope we are working on a manager appointment as we speak so we can get started fast as I predict a very busy summer incoming.
13.) 14 Apr 2025 16:59:05
Didnt take a wage aye right.
14.) 15 Apr 2025 16:49:02
I alos can't see the new owners wanting to put a lot of money in after oitlaying that much for club.
I think first couple years could be tough and definitely can see leeds playera coming on loan ?.
08 Mar 2025 14:14:11
Online rumour:-
Rangers have identified 22 year-old Spanish left-winger Oscar Aranda as a potential summer recruit, currently impressing for Famalicao in Liga Portugal.
1.) 08 Mar 2025 15:53:23
Young, pacy and product of the Real academy if it's the boy I'm thinking of. Would be a good punt as I'm sure he'd be fairly cheap too.
2.) 09 Mar 2025 04:22:19
Overrated is quite a statement, wish some of our previous managers were as overrated as his CV.
23 Jan 2025 17:20:40
Spurs in for Igamane.
Might just be made up nonsense online.
1.) 23 Jan 2025 17:30:55
If spurs are seriously after igamane, they better have massive amounts of cash to offer ?.
2.) 23 Jan 2025 17:46:54
£20m + sell on.
3.) 23 Jan 2025 18:19:44
Kususevski plus 20m and we'll get talking, seriously that lad can play.
4.) 23 Jan 2025 18:38:07
20m isn't enough if you ask me.
5.) 23 Jan 2025 18:44:36
Keep going.
6.) 23 jan 2025 18:58:57
im convinced he will be sold soon.
7.) 23 Jan 2025 19:18:55
If I'm being honest, IF Igamane performs tonight and scores… I do think he's gone before the window shuts. It's all IFS and BUTS, but I would only start talking at £20m.
I think Igamane is a proper talent. Potential to make it big. Staying fit for him will be the key though.
8.) 23 Jan 2025 19:42:53
Can't see Igamane moving now but he continues his form it will be the summer, saying that he scores a couple tonight that could kick something of, him getting into the Morocco squad it only adding to his fee, talking about a good international side semi final at the wc.
9.) 23 Jan 2025 19:43:38
If he keeps showing the way he has then u may well be correct tom?.
10.) 23 Jan 2025 19:44:36
He only goes this window if a team over pay otherwise he's on a 5 year deal and there's no reason to sell for less than his value.
11.) 23 Jan 2025 20:54:00
If clubs are in for Igamane, then they will be aware of our financial position and I can see a few trying their arm with bids well below what we'll be looking for, probably around the £5 million mark, at the same time Rennes are apparently offering £10 million for Kyogo who's 30 years old.
12.) 23 jan 2025 22:13:47
one walter, what dies that mean exactky, less than his value?
13.) 23 Jan 2025 22:17:48
He won't go this window ows absolutely no chance.
14.) 23 Jan 2025 22:32:07
No offence but no one is paying £20m for a guy who has had a good half season in Scotland. Don't get me wrong I think he is a good player and has bags of potential but has not done anywhere near enough to generate a huge price tag. Maybe in a years time but not now. I might be wrong but has he even been capped for his national team at the highest level?
15.) 23 Jan 2025 23:50:26
Mr Mojo may I point you in the direction of Calvin Bassey.
16.) 23 Jan 2025 23:56:12
Mr Mojo, Igamane is much better than just good, not very often you see a player just making his mark in the game at 22 year old with the special talent that lads got, normally found much younger, he'll be in the next Morocco squad a very good international side.
You got 10m for Kyogo age 30, that lads at a different level from him after only playing around 25 games in Europe.
17.) 23 Jan 2025 23:56:25
In Europe.
18.) 24 Jan 2025 08:29:46
@Asathor Good point on Bassey but feel he may be an exception and I think everyone was surprised how much you managed to get from him.
@mystar. I agree he is a very good player and I have been impressed by him which has caused some disagreements with my fellow Celtic fans however I still think it far to early to be expecting £20m for him. Kyogo is a proven international, has scored goals in both CL and Europa League, cup final goals and big goals against yourselves hence the ability to command a fee of £10m. Guess we will see what happens during this window and the Summer.
On another note thought you we unlikely last night and could have been another good Thursday for you. You will definitely qualify for the next round though.
19.) 24 Jan 2025 10:04:22
I think Igamane stays. Every good thing he does is tempered by a poor decision (which simply comes from being raw) . At this time I'd like to think his agents/ advisors are saying stay and get another 60+ games under your belt and break into national team…
As for Dessers and Danilo I think Dessers will go and Danilo stays. Hopefully again last nights goal from Dessers was both delightful and a suprise but if this cements a move so much the better. Danilo, like Igamane, needs more game time (with goals too), before we can hope to get anything like our money back.
20.) 24 Jan 2025 12:42:14
Mr Mojo maybe so but Kyogo (30) hasn't got Igamane (22) capability as a player right now.
21.) 24 Jan 2025 15:29:19
Jesus wept ?.
22.) 24 Jan 2025 16:23:48
True statement storm he just doesn't, Igamane will play at a level Kyogo could only dream about, and levels up as a footballer.
23.) 24 Jan 2025 17:01:59
With all due respect my star there is no factual basis for that statement other than your opinion. Feel you have really raised the expectations on this guy after only a couple of months. By what metric are you basing your opinion on because it can't be caps won, goals scored in Europe, tournaments played in etc. Be interested on how you can say he will play at a level Kyogo could only dream of and what you would base it on.
Like I said I think he is good with bags of potential but feel you are getting ahead of yourself.
Cheers.
24.) 24 Jan 2025 17:55:38
Sorry, Yes Mr Mojo that is just my opinion mate, but do believe he'll go far in the game.
25.) 24 Jan 2025 18:30:19
Mr Mojo is this the proven Japanese international who has only played 5 games (2 goals) since 2023 for them in 25 games. so the national manager doesn't rate him obviously.
7 ECL games this season with 1 goal. 6 games, 2 goals in 23/ 24. 6 games no goals in 22/ 23.
scored 3 in Europa qualifying in 21/ 22 and 2 in 5 games in actual EL.
so Igamane in his first season as a pro has 4 goals in 5 games.
in league the experienced Kyogo has 10 in 22 whilst the novice Igamane has 9 in 19.
so as a start he seems to be on right road and already after 6 months matching (or bettering) Kyogo's figures. so for Star to say he will only get better and play at a higher level than Rennes I would suggest there is a greater likelihood.
only difference is Kyogo has scored for a few seasons in SPL but not often anywhere else. not top quality based on those stats.
26.) 24 Jan 2025 19:10:50
Angus like I have said previously I do think he is a good player but it is all about consistency look at Lawrence Shankland last year and the clamour on these pages by some to buy him now most on here wouldn't touch him. If you really believe that Igamame is a better player than Kyogo right now based on the last few months then fair enough and if that is the case I am sure you will be getting bids in excess of £10m in this window as Kyogo has left for £10m so you would expect more. Have to say I doubt that will happen as manager's will be wanting to see him do it over a consistent period of time but what do I know ( sure loads of you will jump on that and tell me I know nothing haha) .
If I am wrong will gladly come on here and take my dumps!

11 May 2025 14:18:16
The old cliche Game of 2 halves.
The 1st half would have got football stopped and had a meaningless feel about it from a Rangers perspective.
Second half we were a different animal.
Moved the ball quicker with a couple of wonderful goals into the bargain.
This takeover, manager appointment and hopefully new dawn from a trophy winning scenario can't come quick enough.
11 May 2025 14:14:22
Thought for the day?
What's the actual point of Lawrence getting 10 minutes at 3-0 up when:-
A/ his contract is up this summer
B/ we have 2 young players on the bench who will still be here next year - Curtis and Cortes.
1.) 11 May 2025 15:20:05
Was bonkers.
Worries me that we have a + 1 year option in his contract.
2.) 11 May 2025 15:55:19
Guaranteed if the new manager is Gerrard he'll take up that option for Lawrence.
3.) 11 May 2025 16:02:32
Don't even understand why Lawrence was on the bench to be honest. Ferguson said he only had one day training so why the need to rush him back when he is leaving for nothing. McCausland, Nsio or Nsiala should have got a seat on the bench before him.
4.) 11 May 2025 16:13:53
Let's not joke about it ?.
06 May 2025 14:31:55
Are we seeing a mini resurgence in Scottish Football?
We already know how strong Celtic are on and off the park domestically.
We have the 49ers takeover at Rangers gathering pace.
And now we have Tony Bloom looking to buy a 29% stake in Hearts for £10 million which would be lucky to buy you 1% stake in an EPL club.
Coupled with the other capital side - Hibs - having an excellent 2nd half of the season, are we seeing foreign investors looking at Scotland as a more viable investment opportunity?
Technically easy access to Europe, even though our sides have notoriously underperformed - apart from Rangers continuously in the EL and Celtic this season in the extended groups of the CL.
We also have the New Firm who have punched above their weight at times this season domestically.
A strong domestic league can only be good for the domestic game long term.
More competition feeds more interest.
Which brings in more money through potentially more fans and sponsors.
Which may even long term force a change in the way the game is run, sold for TV, league reconstruction etc.
1.) 06 May 2025 15:02:25
I still think if Rangers and Celtic weren't in the SPL it wouldn't be much better than the Northern Irish or Welsh leagues.
It's the old firm that bring added interest to this league.
2.) 06 May 2025 17:18:17
It wouldn't be mark but it would be a lot
More competitive.
3.) 06 May 2025 18:25:33
It's difficult to sell the SPL as a strong league with one club winning 13/ 14 league titles and possibly 4 trebles out of 6
Our form in UEFA league is reasonable good but remember there is a massive difference winning Champions League games compared to UEFA league.
4.) 06 May 2025 19:09:14
Its not a competitive league when one team easily beats everybody else in the league and usually by 4 or 5 goals and by the way the standard is stinking . Most clubs are full of rejects from the lower leagues in England and Europe or over the hill players coming here for a last pay day . The lack of young Scottish talent being good enough to break through into teams which are full of journeyman is worrying for the future . Mind you what can you expect from a league set up that has no competitive football for players over 18.
5.) 06 May 2025 19:58:48
Would be a better league when you get rid of the wage thieves and bottom feeders starting with doncaster.
6.) 06 May 2025 20:38:13
Yoursperx, how did you feel about seeing your team play conference football, how did that go?
7.) 06 May 2025 21:04:21
I am not aware when we played Conference teams.
8.) 06 May 2025 21:51:37
Cheeky Star??.
9.) 06 May 2025 22:11:54
The problem is that some other supporters think they'd still have champs league places etc if Rangers and Celtic weren't in the league.
10.) 08 May 2025 09:26:33
Wslger i agree and vant understand why they font go back to scottish players
They are getting pumped with journeymen with higher wages anyway
At least with scottish guys they would have sellable assets.
06 May 2025 08:40:32
Diomande against Celtic.
1 assist.
2 fouls.
2 interceptions.
5 - was fouled.
5 - possession lost.
60% dribble attempts successful.
75% ground duels won.
89 minutes played.
97% accurate passes.
100% long ball accurate.
1.) 06 May 2025 09:21:03
He's a top player that we won't fully appreciate until he is gone.
Both him and Raskin carried the team on Sunday. The level of work they had to do to close the spaces was admirable but tactically we should have been set up better.
We can't expect these 2 players to do this every week. It's not sustainable.
2.) 06 May 2025 09:31:47
Spot on TB, he usually gets through some amount of work in most games and is a very good out ball under pressure too. Think you're right tho, folk will wait till he's gone then want him back lol.
3.) 06 May 2025 10:39:07
Wouldn't be surprised if we cash in on both Raskin and Diomande if the new manager wants cash for a rebuild.
4.) 06 May 2025 10:39:42
I have started to like him as a player and i would like to see him stop doing his needless fouls and get his fitness built up as a player who can't manage 90 mins is not good for a footballer.
5.) 06 May 2025 12:28:11
For me personally you can only use a phrase like "won't fully appreciate til he's gone" on a player who has won trophies and performs at a 7-8 every week.
Dio has got better and I've grown to like him more and more but having a stand out game 1 in 4/ 5 isn't good enough imo.
Good player who can still improve, hopefully if we can get 4-5 quality starters in that team to help we can see him and others step up another level.
6.) 06 May 2025 12:58:06
The possession lost was the worry for me on Sunday, he lost it in dangerous positions . He always looks better in the bigger games for some reason so if he stays he needs to find more consistency and bring it more regularly.
Don't agree that he and Raskin carried the team on Sunday, Barron had a terrific game as well.
7.) 06 May 2025 13:00:51
He committed 2 fouls on Sunday and he has committed 34 fouls in the league this season according to Fotmob. On Sunday he got cramp as the diamond caused him to put in so much work covering in the centre and having to go outside to cover the gaps left there by the system. He has only not played the full 90 minutes in 8 games where he started in the league this season so his fitness doesn't seem to be too much of an issue.
8.) 06 May 2025 13:59:41
Why is always blowing oot his arse or needing help for cramp in most big games Angus? And of those 34 fouls you say how many are when he loses the ball and pulls the guy back who took the ball from him?
9.) 06 May 2025 15:26:02
If people can't see how good Dio is then that's their fault. they don't know much at all.
10.) 06 May 2025 16:53:36
Yip dio is a quality midfielder alright ???.
11.) 06 May 2025 18:38:09
Selling Dio and Raskin this window won't make sense . Neither has one full season playing well for Rangers
We need both to have good full seasons next year to attract any sort of decent money.
12.) 07 May 2025 19:41:43
Every big game he arrives. him and Raskin can compete with the best.
06 May 2025 09:46:06
As long as he brings his own laptop.
04 May 2025 15:36:31
Aye.
It won't be Ferguson.
03 May 2025 13:04:51
Gerrard being appointed after the takeover will be very underwhelming.
03 May 2025 07:26:31
Apologies, Asa.
Must have missed it.
02 May 2025 18:22:10
Done the same, Fork.
Doesn't have a great record as they have finished 6th, 12th, 7th and 5th in League 2.
Currently 8th. 7 points of 1st with 3 games left to go.
Some well supported teams in that league with 4 teams getting 50k and above!
Asked them who told them and it was a friend of a friend.
Not sure if some are just throwing names about like confetti and hope they are correct.
10 May 2025 10:46:13
It's poor journalism.
The exact same names have appeared on here. Doesn't make us journalists.
10 May 2025 10:42:29
A team made up of the best SPFL has to offer will never topple Celtic.
We need a mix of both. Those that can enhance the squad and break into the 1st team along with some other quality additions.
The issue is when the "quality" additions don't work out and we all rage about the lack of value for money etc.
08 May 2025 16:24:07
