Seen a couple of things on Twitter saying Garnacho, young winger from Man Utd joining on loan. Surely no?

PaulyDon

1.) 04 Aug 2022 00:42:11
I'm sure I read that he was to be party of their first team. Maybe something ed002 would know about?

{Ed002's Note - The most recent thing I am aware of is a plan to offer a new contract - that could see a loan. I am not aware of Rangers being involved at this time.}


2.) 04 Aug 2022 06:58:00
You've been done by a twitter troll page.


3.) 04 Aug 2022 10:07:24
this would be a very decent loan signing, but i don't think it will happen looks like he will be used by utd as a squad player this season.


4.) 04 Aug 2022 11:10:34
No thank you, we need 1st teamers now not young boys.


5.) 04 Aug 2022 10:54:52
Just love the little snippets of info from the Ed’s on this site little golden nuggets of information
???.


6.) 04 Aug 2022 11:25:38
Sweep and who do you think we should bring in.


7.) 04 Aug 2022 12:13:23
sweep, the young boy was a stand out in pre season and at the age of 17 was brought into the argentina full squad. think he would cope being a first teamer.


8.) 04 Aug 2022 12:21:04
Not another young winger with very little experience. We need an experienced pro to unlock defenses. What's the point to a signing like this one? Is he Amy better than Diallo? Took him most of his loan signing to settle. These loan signings are a complete waste of time.


9.) 04 Aug 2022 12:48:14
Sweep,

I agree we need an experienced pro to make us an attacking threat. However, that costs money that I don’t think we’ll spend much more.


10.) 04 Aug 2022 13:12:23
Tillman could be our number 8 and he would unlock defences. yes noticed bird is a dm Copland could maybe be as a replacement for Kamara.


11.) 04 Aug 2022 15:19:09
As delboy would say to rodney, "shut up you tart sweep1" ??.


12.) 04 Aug 2022 20:45:52
I certainly would not want to see kid from United, if we want to play a boy, let’s develop Lovelace.

I think Clement should just walk to be honest, for his own sake. The players should be embarrassed. The performances against Spurs and Celtic to crap like this is baffling.

The board have ruined us all over again, hoping PS can start running the club better and putting a plan in place to improve us. I was all for giving Clement time but I just don't see him being the man to take us forward.

I said on the game chat I can't see how PC survives this at 2-0 down. I seem to be changing my mind every week or 2 but here are some thoughts.

If Cerny and Igamane had started and one got injured. the warnings from the Sports Science team would have came out and everyone would be raging.

The league was never on this season, it's hard to accept that it's a reset period and have to lower our standards. What had changed really? We're the same place we've been most of the time since we've came back up.

Getting rid of our experienced players, lowering our wage spend and relying on younger new players is always going to bring inconsistency at first. It's not what Clement was sold, so I think he should be given the next 2 windows and see what progress can be made.

I just can't see what bringing a new manager in right now will achieve. We need to accept reality right now.

PaulyDon

1.) 30 Dec 2024 08:13:00
What does keeping him achieve? Being closer to the 8th place team than the first placed? Accepting that we’ll not complete for the league again? Accepting players like Dio and Propper? I can’t see how we’re any worse off by sacking him.


2.) 30 Dec 2024 08:43:57
behave Dado. nothing like exaggeration. we won't sack him and noone else is coming in. how does sacking him get rid of Dio and Propper, he goes they stay or did you not think about that. Who else is he going to play in midfield and defence at the moment?


3.) 30 Dec 2024 08:51:34
It's a whole reset at the club, players, staff and board. I know patience are wearing thin but it's what's needed.

We need better players and a settled squad to compete for the league again. After all the changes it's going to take a bit longer to achieve that. I just think going for another manager - when there's no real outstanding quality candidate - takes us back even further.


4.) 30 Dec 2024 09:21:02
Who signed these duds gees? Also who’s responsibility is it to make sure we have a squad able to complete for the season? I’ve checked, double checked and triple checked and I’m sure Dundee in 8th place are 14 points behind us and we’re 14 points behind Celtic, where is this exaggeration you seem so happy to call out?


5.) 30 Dec 2024 09:44:07
Pauly he’s not getting the best out of the players so whether you sack him now or March, June or after I don’t think it’s going to change.
And by then you have brought in more players that might not be doing it, Propper, Diomande, Bahjrami, Cortez have all dissapointed, granted Cortez has been injured a lot.
Even if you bring in young players from other clubs after a period of time we need to see progress.
Let’s say the league was never realistic then what was this season, improvement? It wasn’t meant to be regression 14 points behind at this stage is appalling.
I have said before if we are planning long term to be the best of the rest then why do we need to spend as much on and off the park to do that when our nearest challengers spend a fraction of what we do, and by the way we should be beating these teams now.
At the start of the season I didn’t think we would win the league but was expecting us to try and be as competitive as we can with improvements thru the season.
Clement said early in the season wait till October - November before you see us perform to a good level.


6.) 30 Dec 2024 10:21:51
Bringing in a new manager might help these players, see it all the time new manager comes in and players become better. There coached better, training sessions are better, moral is better.


7.) 30 Dec 2024 11:42:21
This season was always going to be a sore one, I less we got incredibly lucky. With the turnover in staff/ players and the reduction of wages there's was always a good chance it would get worse before getting better. There have been signs of improvement but it's just not consistent enough, that and there's some unneeded tinkering with the team, but no changing things that actually need to be changed. We need a positive January so I hope the board have something up their sleeve.

I'm no 100 percent sure myself but I think he'll be given January, then a decision will be made whether to give him the summer depending how we finish the season.


8.) 30 Dec 2024 11:54:51
King like the outstanding new Manchester utd manager?


9.) 30 Dec 2024 12:01:00
Pauly Don are you serious mate
We never expected to win the league, no one is complaining because we haven’t won the league . We are complaining because we have the second best squad in the league and we cannot win a game away from Ibrox .
Our players are bewildered they don’t know what they are doing or where they should be on the pitch at any given time, the manager chops and changes the starting lineup continually. Younger players, do you mean Butland, Balogun Tavernier, Dessers, Cerny, Raskin, Sterling these guys are experienced players
We should be sitting in second place maybe a few points back with a chance to put a bit of pressure on Celtic on Thursday.14 points behind its abject failure from the manager and he should be sacked.


10.) 30 dec 2024 15:06:56
noypt every new manager can be better, that's just a ridiculou# argument

aberdeen git better, then git worse.


 

 

03 Sep 2024 12:43:20
This could make me extremely unpopular but I need to be honest.

The way a growing section of our fans treat our players is despicable. We all care about the club and want to see passion in our team but the toxic element in our support is growing and becoming harmful.

We have every right to criticise, bluntly and honestly and to call out the lack of commitment, but the venom spewed to players and the manager after Sunday's game is unacceptable.

It's no coincidence that players looked to be playing with more freedom when there was no fans during COVID. I'm not saying this is only a problem with our club, just that it's contributing to our problems. These people need to take a long hard look at themselves.

PaulyDon

1.) 03 Sep 2024 12:49:52
Good post Pauly.


2.) 03 Sep 2024 12:50:08
The fans don’t help when the stadium is half empty come 80th min and they go and just moan and groan at every little mistake. There’s also a reason why we’ve been significantly better in Europe than domestically when the atmosphere of the crowd is totally different.


3.) 03 Sep 2024 12:59:54
PalyDon; here here which players will want to come and play for us only to be abused like that when they are struggling it’s embarrassing to watch but these clown see it as their 15 mins of fame.


4.) 03 Sep 2024 13:39:42
The same players that played without fans were more or less the same players that with fans all the way to the EL final. The team that won without fans were knocked out of both cups so I'm not buying that fans are a part of the problem.

Yes some criticism is of course out of order but that has always been
the case.

Fans have always moan and groaned, even with successful teams. Our fans have always left early since I can remember during the early 90s. So again let's not blame fans. We are better in Europe because teams play against us, unlike the SPL where they sit back. Nothing to do with atmosphere. The SPL teams have always sat back. Look at every domestic succesful Rangers team. We played with two strikers, one usually an ariel target man. We had two strikers who bullied defenders and could hold the ball up and get on the end of crosses.

We should be looking at how we play, how we set up and what type of player we bring to the club instead of trying to blame fans for players being barry white and cowards.


The lack of mentality is a product
of the snowflake generations. If you can't handle the pressure then do what tik tok todd did and move back to the championship.


5.) 03 Sep 2024 13:40:16
I’ve been saying that for at least a decade.


6.) 03 Sep 2024 14:05:49
Poly don a good post mate.


7.) 03 Sep 2024 14:13:15
No we don't condone that behaviour at all and the wee rats that thought it was a good idea should never be back at Ibrox, yes we all agree the players effort and attitude are not right but that certainly won't help our players one bit.

I do agree we are becoming more toxic but I assume it's because we see this lack of effort, I'm sure most of us remember the effort our players put in under Smith, Advocaat even McCleish but this lot are not giving us anything and in some cases it's clear they don't want to try so it's also on them to give the effort they get well paid for it's a minimum requirement here. We can take getting beat by a better team if we don't look beat at the tunnel.


8.) 03 Sep 2024 14:18:02
Correct Ray. The happy clapping bunch would much rather blame us big bad fans than blame those most culpable. Pathetic!


9.) 03 Sep 2024 14:54:44
Ray ger and sunshine, your comments tell us all we need to know.
Ray, Celtic didn’t park the bus, they played against us, how did that work out for us?

Sunshine, you really think standing in front of a car and bawling abuse at players is acceptable? Rather than protests in the ground or banners up criticising the board for example?

That’s your way we deal with the situation, moronic fans standing abusing players and making a fool of themselves and embarrassing the club? Who is that helping? The players, the board?

I’ll tell you who that helps, Celtic football club, from the board down to the fans! But the morons are too stupid to realise that. I not about being a happy clapper, it’s about conducting yourself in the right manner. Like I say though, your comments and your defending these wallopers tells me all I need to know.


10.) 03 Sep 2024 15:05:18
'snowflakes' 'hapoy clappers' get a grip. I'm no talking about having a moan and groaning about performances like Sunday. I'm talking about actual abuse, players should never have to put up with.

A lot of things were tolerated years ago, doesn't mean they were right. We need to move with the times and people need to get a life. If football turns them into absolute cretins then they should check themselves.


11.) 03 Sep 2024 15:42:14
What do they tell you? That we have a strong mentality? That its a man's games?

You can sing as many love songs as you like but until we get the right players with the right mentality and change how we set up then nothing will change.

Btw no one condone's what happened at Ibrox after the game and neither is anyone defending them so stop trying to twist people's words!


12.) 03 Sep 2024 16:14:01
If anyone actually thinks booing and berating players make them play better then they need looked at. the pressure is on our players more than its ever been, even in Smiths days there were other clubs that could take points of Celtic. Now every game is a must win, i wouldn't want to play in that environment. what other workplace accepts staff getting abused, indeed anywhere else and the abusers would be kicked out, banned or even jailed. nothing to do with happy clappers but you honestly think abusing people works.


13.) 03 Sep 2024 16:38:42
Pauly I once witnessed Kenny Miller getting dogs abuse from our own fans when he played for us, and Davie McPherson back in the late 80s, both after old firm defeats from memory, always been going on and while we don’t condone it, it’s nothing new you just haven’t witnessed it fortunately.


14.) 03 Sep 2024 17:04:47
Stop comparing football to other places of work, it's not the same!

You seriously can't expect to go to a football game and not hear players being abused, fans abusing fans. Come on get real.

If you don't want to be in a must win environment then you obviously don't have the right mentality for it.

There is obviously a line when it comes to abuse but you can't expect football players to get it tight when they don't perform. Expecting 50k or 60k fans all singing love songs to each other and the players what a world we live in.

That snowflake mentality is exactly why tik tok Todd is a complete failure!


15.) 03 Sep 2024 22:41:56
It’s not about singing love songs it’s about conducting yourself in the correct manner. Players being boo’d off the park etc is fine with me if they don’t perform but to stand and shout abuse in a players face is unacceptable. I’d like to have seen them stand shout at Terry butcher like that. These guys are absolute morons and embarrass the club, end of story. No defence for it whatsoever. No love songs, no happy clapping, just not acting like **** and conducting myself in a proper manner!


16.) 03 Sep 2024 23:22:05
Rangers will have zero tolerance policy. Those that step over should be banned. After the match, after leaving your place of work defo.


 

 

14 Aug 2024 00:04:31
What a miserable, infuriating result. That was one of the worst Ref performances I've ever seen. What gets to me is the number of people on here putting the fault on Clement. We knew this squad was nowhere near competitive enough and that we are not in the position to easily upgrade players in this window.

Again, it will take another 2 windows at least to be where we need to be. We're in the position we are because we didn't push on after 55. Gerrard left due to not being backed and then Beale was brought in as the easy/ cheap option and it was 3 steps back.

Clement is having to work with players who are nowhere near the quality we need and serial underperformers. I'm concerned about the quality of recruitment we'll see between now and the end of the month. But I will back big Phil and give him the time he needs.

PaulyDon

1.) 14 Aug 2024 03:52:03
Gerrard chose to keep players on and not sell to help fund incomings, he had a high wage bill and chose to keep it high. In a way he was backed by being allowed to keep everyone and not sell.

It was a mistake the club should have sold when stocks were high, 1 should go most seasons and bring in fresh.


2.) 14 Aug 2024 04:57:04
Pauly I ageeed a lot with you in live chat tonight but not on this SG was backed IMO.


3.) 14 Aug 2024 09:27:20
It's what happened after 55, we should've began upgrading all over the squad but didn't, and the rest is history mate.


 

 

06 Aug 2024 09:41:37
Id seriously consider playing Soutter in the middle of. Back 3 or like a CDM tonight.

Butland

Sterling (Tav)
Propper
Balogun
Yilmaz

Soutter
Barron
Diomande

Cerny
Dessers
Lawrence/ Matondo/ Jefte?

PaulyDon

1.) 06 Aug 2024 12:00:23
Need a bit of strength in there so wouldn't be a bad idea.


2.) 06 Aug 2024 12:01:39
I’d much prefer Sterling in cdm and Tav at right back than putting Souttar there.


3.) 06 Aug 2024 12:33:09
No wingers in decent form so it would be a good idea to play 5-3-2 tonight, Tav and Yilmaz to push on and give us width, Sterlings power in a midfield three and Lawrence further forward alongside Dessers.


4.) 06 Aug 2024 12:41:44
Agree Davie! Diamonde and Sterling in there for me. I still think that’s sterlings best position, although some on here see him as the next Cafu when I’ve not really been overly impressed in the little time I’ve seen him at right back.


5.) 06 Aug 2024 12:47:19
David aye I hear you, I just want us to be as solid as possible for tonight.


6.) 06 Aug 2024 14:36:21
Good shout guys. A few options available, all worth considering.


7.) 06 Aug 2024 14:36:57
Pauly this isn't the worst idea and we have done it historically - thinking the likes of Bob Malcolm (god forbid) and seen Dave McPherson types done it too.
However I'm not sure it should be Souttar as I think we need to hold onto Balogun, Souttar and Propper as CB's. Could Davies or King do it?


8.) 06 Aug 2024 15:54:17
John Soutter isn't good enough and never will be.


9.) 06 Aug 2024 16:40:24
I might be more tempted to p[lay Bologan that Souttar but then I am not a fan of Souttar although I also see the benefit of deploying Sterling in a defensive midfield role, (which would also provide cover for Tav) .
I would sacrifice a winger and go with Cerny, Dessers and Lawrence but I have a horrible feeling that PC will play Wright!

Must be frustrating for him being at the very top of his game in his playing career and struggling to get to the same level as a manager.

I don't think he's a bad manager, he'll probably be with a mid Championship team next.
