Could all those who criticised Ryan Jack please step forward and make themselves known 😉.

12 Aug 2019 21:39:22
Don't remember anyone critical of jack? 👍.

12 Aug 2019 22:05:17
I certainly was when he had more red cards that completed passes. He’s certainly improved and fully merits his place in the starting eleven, I think he’s one of the players who really wants to play for and learn from SG, long may he continue playing the way he is. I think he might just have been trying too hard at the start!

12 Aug 2019 22:18:49
yes there was, and you know that. Lot's of short memories.

12 Aug 2019 22:23:13
I've always waxed lyrical about ryan jack on here. Have also stated he's a future captain of our great club.

12 Aug 2019 23:23:24
Is “waxed lyrical” your phrase of the day supercoop?

13 Aug 2019 00:15:21
Blue 89 😂😂😂.

13 Aug 2019 06:54:43
If you name every single player as a future captain there’s a chance you might get 1 right at some point. Pretty sure you chose somebody else yesterday and about 300 last season my good man.

13 Aug 2019 08:59:23
I've also always defended the lad on here and I'm delighted he is playing so well and proving the doubters wrong. I saw a post stating that McGregor was better. I don't think so, I think Ryan Jack has everything in his game. Whether it is due to the manager or a change of role, I don't know but he truly is a class act. I was a big fan of Barry and I see a lot of similarities in their play.

13 Aug 2019 09:18:45
It will never be my phrase at anytime where you're concerned Blue89.😂I take it you were maybe one of the ryan jack bashers, that The Muppet is talking about here mate? You sneaky wee man.

13 Aug 2019 11:55:39
Blue89 it was on his toilet paper 😂.

13 Aug 2019 11:57:50
No Coop, not at all, I’ve always been a fan of Jack. Extremely underrated player in this country.

13 Aug 2019 16:55:17
He's diff class the boy. Gerrard is obviously helping him as he's improved 100% since Gerrard arrived first name on teamsheat for me 👍.

13 Aug 2019 22:05:25
Think I was critical of Ryan but I take it back turned out a cracking player.

12 Aug 2019 11:37:27
Interesting to hear the gaffers comments today regarding perhaps one more in and coupled with what ed001 said regards Kent last week. What do you reckon fellow Bears, is it Kent or someone else that they have in mind?

I know all the stuff that has been said regarding Kent not returning etc etc so no need to be educated on this. As ed001 said, it's a possibility now as they don't want to leave him languishing in the u23 team and no bids have come in so best bet now would be to let him away again on loan.

I'm also not that bothered now if he didn't return as the rest have hit the ground running and besides which, who's place would he take? JJ has been outstanding and we've yet to see BB so for me I would think it's possibility a striker that we might go for.

In fact in good old coops style, a poll is in order, if you would do the honours ed, as follows
The other last possible signing SG is looking at is it a. Kent or b. A striker.
Cheers muchly, should brighten up a Monday troops lol.

{Ed033's note - SG Next Signing Poll

12 Aug 2019 20:00:10
Kent will be signed on a permanent contract IF we make the group stages, we’re waiting on this as the income from group qualification is not yet guaranteed. Now shoot me done as usual I’m waiting for it 🤨.

12 Aug 2019 20:31:14
Hope to god we get kent👍.

12 Aug 2019 20:45:36
We have Jordan Jones and just signed Brandon Barker on a 3 year deal. I really can't see us going for Kent. I think Barker maybe on a par with Kent. Another striker and i'd be happy.

12 Aug 2019 21:29:28
He’s not coming back, forget him and move on. We’ve got Jones, Barker, Murphy, Arfield, Middleton (going on loan) that all play in that position.

13 Aug 2019 09:22:39
Ok guys i now think myself that we won't be getting kent back, which brings me on to a question i'm throwing out to everyone on here. Who then do we reckon is our best option to play left wing then?

12 Aug 2019 16:35:59
Rangers to win the league and Morelos not to receive a straight red ( that's a straight red and not 2 yellows ) paddy power 33/ 1.

12 Aug 2019 17:18:46
Bryan1978, not only would you collect at the odds specified, but Morelos would achieve a £25m transfer to the EPL.

12 Aug 2019 18:06:47
Hahaha no bad Bankie. The bet will do me.

12 Aug 2019 11:51:57
Will Clarke ever pick Jack, no matter how well he plays? I doubt it.

12 Aug 2019 12:42:38
I was thinking how he should be one of the names on the Scotland team sheet but really couldn’t care less how Scotland do at this point so if it keeps him fresher for us then I don’t mind. It’s just a shame looking at it from Jacks personal perspective.

12 Aug 2019 13:55:45
The tartan army would only boo him anyway.
If you’re u don’t play for Celtic or have a Celtic connection you don’t play for Scotland.
Take Arfield for example he was playing consistently in one of the top leagues in the world for a good few years but Strachan and Scotland said he wasn’t good enough to play for them so he went and played for Canada.

12 Aug 2019 16:39:23
He got booed at the Scotland game that was played at Pittodrie. It's not Scotland fans that booed him it was petty Aberdeen fans. At hampden the small pocket of Aberdeen idiots wouldn't be heard and would be ripped into by real Scotland fans.

12 Aug 2019 16:50:48
Tartan Army is there even many of that lot left haha

Scotland have been terrible for years and are only going to get better if the improve the team with the best quality players, that being players playing at the top level in England and from Rangers and Celtic with some from other SPL teams

Your talking Steve Clarke wanting the best for Scotland and himself so I don't think he is going to be stupid enough to jeopardise his own reputation and he would be doing that by not giving the best players the games It would be stupid not given Ryan Jack a game if he is doing the Business at club level.

13 Aug 2019 11:59:40
I go to the Scotland games with my brother in law who is a season ticket holder at Parkhead, I’m a season ticket holder at Ibrox, and the last time we went he was raging because idiot teuchters were booing the Celtic players too. The rest of Scotland just hates Glasgow.

12 Aug 2019 11:22:50
Got a totally out of the park crazy suggestion after watching DC utd vs LA galaxy game.

I've got my suit of armour on for all of the disagrees lol my name is will. So fire at will guys.

The name I'm suggesting is big Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is 37 and his contract expires in Dec. He is multi multi millionaire so if he came it wouldn't be for cash. so maybe just maybe he would like another crack at winning a league and poss European football if we managed to stay in past xmas.

Offer him a year contract. The big man would score for fun in Scotland even at 37, esp with some of the crosses that Tav can supply. His stats for this season are played 18 scored 16 and provided 6 assists.

12 Aug 2019 12:06:04
We can dream :)

12 Aug 2019 12:31:24
Would love that to happen but bein honest I don’t think we have a chance in hell of getting the big man.

12 Aug 2019 15:24:23
Think I would rather take Martinez from Atlanta.

12 Aug 2019 11:16:07
I just watched jermaine defoe's post match interview and i couldn't believe the state of his training top. The white chevrons down either shoulder were peeling off and it looks awful. Hummel need sort this out. Its unacceptable for our players to be seen wearing this rubbish. Its completely cringe worthy.
What a game though! Heckingbottom sacked by September. Lol
Maybe Lennon will make the step up to a bigger club again. Lol.

12 Aug 2019 18:11:52
Maybe that's what we get for wearing them around just saying, Jimmy has just washed them too high a temp and then with all the rain used the tumble dryer which always takes the sticky bits off football tops.

12 Aug 2019 09:16:51
Morning Fellow Bears,

I'm identifying a potential work nightmare and need help! Does anyone know for definite, and assuming we go through on Thursday, if we'd play home or away first in the play off? I was planning to travel to the away leg but looks like I could miss the home game and need to plan ahead! I assume Legia are seeded but unsure about the Greeks. Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks and hope you all enjoyed yesterday as much as I did!

12 Aug 2019 10:48:31
First leg is at home mate.

12 Aug 2019 11:27:23
Defo away 1st.

12 Aug 2019 11:23:03
Great thanks! I’ll need to bin travelling away it seems but I’ll make the home leg now. Many thanks mate.

12 Aug 2019 13:30:25
Away first in play off round. 2nd leg at home good news as old firm match 3 days later. Remember we went to Russia then park head in 3 days last year.

12 Aug 2019 08:43:54
Have to say it, based purely on his last 2 performances Jordan Jones is proving a few people on this forum wrong. IF he continues to play like that i don't think Ryan Kent will be the big miss some people think.

12 Aug 2019 10:19:38
I’m sure that they will all be posting soon to admit they were completely wrong!

12 Aug 2019 10:54:06
Gotta be honest, I wasnt sure how he would do, considering most teams sit in against us but I hope his current form. continues and he nabs a few goals into the bargain. Seems to have settled rather quickly.

12 Aug 2019 11:05:13
I thought JJ would be a decent squad player and nothing more. Looking like a key first team player just now though. Happy to be wrong.

12 Aug 2019 12:52:48
I’ll hold my hands up and say I wasn’t impressed with the Jones signing at all. I thought he would be another MOH in the making. He’s been brilliant though. Even against killie when they were parking the bus he was beating men in tight spaces. Hope he keeps getting better.

12 Aug 2019 13:05:07
I mentioned a bit back that the players that sometimes shine the most are the least expected and thought Jones was going to do really well. Honestly tho I am not smug and thinking I told you so. Even tho I did lol.

12 Aug 2019 19:09:45
Ryan kent is still better than jones, but jones has been class. 👍.

12 Aug 2019 07:39:01
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 12th August 2019

12 Aug 2019 00:03:11
Tbh. can't we be the bigger man n say to the bbc. Hey. Mon back in we forgive n we will let you talk about somw great days that are comming soon to a telly near you.

12 Aug 2019 07:16:40
Joe53, sorry but no, The BBC and many of there reporting team go out of there way to put a negative spin on all things Rangers.
Even yesterday instead of how well we played, they state Hibs were down to 10 men.
I understand where your coming from but in my opinion it, s the BBC whom need to come to us.

12 Aug 2019 10:56:33
BBC don't come to ibrox by choice jeo53. Rangers banned 1 reporter for his deliberately negative reporting on rangers and the bbc took the huff.

12 Aug 2019 11:28:52
Sorry about the semantics but Rangers did not "ban" Chris Mclaughlin from Ibrox, they withdrew his press pass. If he wants to buy a ticket, he's free to attend a game as I understand it. If he and the BBC Scotland wish to issue a public apology where they admit to years of unfair and biased reporting about Rangers then we can start looking at restoring a positive relationship.
