Alright Everyone, If Craig Whyte hadn't came in were would we be, I am getting behind him, apart from putting the usual papers in their place he take no prisoners and I like that, IF he gets a good result from the tax case the guy is a hero, if not at least he had the BALLS to take it on, Nobody else was there and you can all say what you want but there were free loaders just taking cash out of our beloved team, there out, It was a shame about mr Greig but he was brain washed by them and those who wanted control.
Celtic will probably win the league as they have more players than three teams require, but if they don't, it will be shocking for them as we are even more skint than last year, so come on BEARS lets get behind the man.
ERSKINE WIZARD

Craig whyte makes his money liquidating companies so I wouldn't be so quick to get behind him

You had me till you said Septic win probably win the league. They are just on a streak they WILL bottle it. History does repeat itself. WATP

I am sorry but whyte had not had the balls to take it on, he has paid £1. That is it.
If he wins the tax case he will be looked on as a hero, but he should not be. It will be interesting to see if he does as promised, clear the debt if we win the case. I would not bet on it

He put his co*k on the block son!! He has, if he wins the case, done an amazing and shrewd piece of business, something you are clearly not able to do, yet you have a opinion?? Maybe you should reserve your opinion till after the case. If we lose then you can harp on all day about how your the man! Until then maybe you should keep shtume!

Could not have been a very big one LoL

prediction for tmw's match fellow gers fans :

Rangers 4 Aberdeen 1

goals - jelavic (2) davis, aluko

james rfc 1980

Aye good prediction

Hindsight is a great thing eh pal, whoever you are, typical no name poster.
If gers had their shooting boots on it WOULD have been 4-1. some you get right and some you dont.

james rfc 1980

20 Jan 2012 22:56:34
I dont actually think that Jelavic will leave, rangers arent stupid and take less than 6.5 million like the summer... plus who would spend 8-10 million a striker lets face it isnt playing the best! and Does Jelavic even want to leave? he has said he would only leave for a big club in england and loves it at rangers! what you like ed?

Chelski spent £50m on a striker who wasn't/ isn't "playing the best" a year ago. Someone's worth what someone will pay. As we consistently under-sell the family silver, we probably will again. Jelavic is many times the player a lot of these over-rated, over-hyped balloons playing in England will ever be.

Torres; world cup winner,euro championship winner hence 50 m!!!!!

20 Jan 2012 22:45:31
Has there been any players who have come directly from the Swedish league to the spl that have been any good?

Mjallby was good for that mob

Jocky bjorkland

Didn't rate jocky

Larsson

Larson came from holland. Think poster talkin about direct from sweden.

What would Celtic fans think if Lennon went for Nile RANGER ! LOL

How about the Loan Ranger?

Nile Ranger is crap

20 Jan 2012 21:13:57
Why is everyone making such a fuss and moaning about the Celiks name and saying he better not have his surname on the back of his top? At the end of the day our rivals are called Celtic not Celik? Also do people think if he has Celik on the back of his top does it make him a bad person and a bad player!! GET A GRIP! He is OUR player and we should be supporting him! He could be called pope Benedict for all I care and I would still support him!!

Lmao catch a grip it's banter.
Mon The Celik
FF81

Its only a laugh .chill out people dont really care about his name its all fun

It is actually all banter, there has been alot made of his name, I personally think it's genius that he managed to get atleast something Celik associated with the champions.

Well, looks like the old habits die hard eh? judging by recent photos the bigots in blue are putting his first name on the jersey

rotten to the core!

20 Jan 2012 20:25:02
.........BREAKING NEWS ...........

Rangers players tomorrow will not wear numbers just a big FOR SALE sign front and back LOL Timalloy

Every player has a price let's see if celtic can keep hooper all this talk of jelavic going when hoppers the most likely to be offski Southamptons bids will trigger other clubs ie Sunderland 6.5 mill an it's bye bye Gary no joy for timalloy

M8 its your team that should be doing that how many players have you got on the books at celtic! i can think of 35 straight away all they wages that are getting wasted! your team needs rid of players more than us!
WATP
BIG CRAIG

3 in a row you rocket

DougieRFC

Big Craig, see you were back in court againf over £90k bill, watp = what's a tax payer? lol Timalloy
PS Celtic do not welcome bids for our players, your board have hired agents to FLOG all yours ha ha

How can an agent flog another agent's player?

Poor wee Timalloy, he's so caught up in the Timothies rumours he doesn't know what planet he is own.......

TTG

Ed, unless I am mistaken this is a Rangers page, yet it is filled with Celtic supporters. Why do you let these clowns on, go back to the runners up page where you belong. I know this is a banter page but it is not banter, it is just absolute garbage. {Ed014's Note - Nobody forces you to read it.

Fair point ed but i for 1 am sick of reading his so called banter agree with above poster its about time he/she actualy talked football instead of the fly digs to me they come accross as a s**t stirrer

Wullie {Ed001's Note - isn't that what banter is about? Digging at others.}

If you see the tag 'timalloy' you should know to just ignore it, he can t help it.

20 Jan 2012 20:08:41
Watched celik on utube looks quality boys good in the air both feet to an was there captain in some games he scored but most commentators were calling him selik even tho his agent says it's chelik. Good business anyway I'd say !

20 Jan 2012 19:44:26
i know weve got celik now but id still like to see us go in for templeton. great scottish youngster and with celik, aluko and templeton fighting for places on the wings, we would get some really good service for jelavic and hopefully another striker.

Selik can play striker to.Even if we could not get Templeton if its not in the budget,if we are looking for a striker.How about Andy Driver on loan.He has not moved yet,and there is meant to be championship clubs in for him.A.M

Did ya hear that toolbox Craig burley on espn rangers v st John compare jelavic to marco negri "he's not exactly set the Heather on fire I mean he's no marco person is he going to a top six englishclub? no is he going to a bottom six club? yes" has this guy been smoking the Heather !

Why is he on a gers game anyway espn should sack him for what he was saying he is the biggest dud ever well seen he never got to any top clubs celtic included, gazza {Ed014's Note - Chelsea?

Chelsea weren't a top club when Burley was there.

Only when Abroamovich took over. {Ed014's Note - I think Chelsea fans would disagree with that.

There only big now ed , gazza

Aye man after comparing jelavic to negri an laughing bout negris alleged eye injury which probably cost us league an cup he then compared hooper to larrson an started laughing bout that. The mans lost the plot

Chelsea and Rangers fan here.Chelsea have won more European trophys than the Gers and that was before the russian took over, add FA cups etc.I think you will find Chelsea have always been considered a big club.stop talking pi5h just because Burley played with them,Chelsea are a massive club and always have been.So much for the Blues Brothers saddos.

They are only big now not in his day

No such thing as the Blues Brothers. Most Rangers fans want sod all to do with Chelski.

Gerry The Ger.

Away cry in the corner - we gave ya 12 mill for flo that was the biggest nail in our coffin to be

I think the point is, were Chelsea a big club when Burley was there?

Answer - NO

Reason - Division Two of the football league 1989. Burley signed in 1989. {Ed014's Note - Where were they when he left in 1997 though.On their way to a second Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Supercup and League Cup.They also won the old 2nd Division in the year he signed for them,so all of his his time their was in the old First Division and EPL.

Ed this guy burly was slaging your team off the gers and ur sticking up for him why??, as for the chelsea thing aye we are pals but as u see above you only got to be a big club after the money came in end of, gazza {Ed014's Note - I was talking about Chelsea.Burley is an idiot.

M. Celik interview -

"I am always ready. I feel fit and able to be involved. I will show the fans but I can tell them that I am a player who always plays with heart," he told the club's official website.

"It doesn't matter to me where I play, that is for the coaches to decide. Of course the fans can expect to see goals but I can also defend well.

"I think it is a step up from the Swedish league but I am ready to make that step and show everyone what I can do.

"It will be great to be there (on Saturday) and to watch the game and experience the atmosphere."

Happy

He added: "I am very happy now, I have made it to Glasgow and I am happy to be here. It has taken some time but it is finished now and I am very happy with that.

"It is a very good set-up here, it is a very nice training ground and everything is perfect.

"I was here last month and the club showed me everything and I liked the set-up so it is good to have the deal agreed now. Of course now I am very hungry to be involved."
-------
Ok every new player tries to say the right things but I think this lad is completely positive, maybe that's something that could rub off a bit on others - players and fans.

Mervan Celik move conformed, but he cannot play vs Aberdeen tomorrow as he has not been granted international clearence. Should be ok for the hibs game though. He looks a good signing....WATP

Ortiz must be worried his place on the bench is in doubt.

20 Jan 2012 16:04:06
Our biggest loss is Martin Bain the man was a god at getting players with bigger clubs chasing to sign eg big dado etc who does his job now hope it's no that radge smudger. Whoever it is needs there p45 shoved rite up there a!se

Ate you joking? This is the same Martin vain that has robbed us blind for years, our big problem is we have no money, no champions league, not even god could attract decent players any money, even seltic are struggling to attract decent players and they have money, once jelavic goes we will never see that standard again.

Bain a judas,and a rogue,spent more time on junkets and topping up his tan,then tries to sue his previous employers.He is gone,lets move on,no more of these fancy dans,i want someone who gets good deals done,but i dont want his face all over the papers.

I'd hazard a guess that Bain's dealings are the one of the reasons that he was fired, and that we are in a fix with HMRC.........

I agree the deal broker should stay in the shadows but there's no doubt Bain was one of the best in the buisness

Nothing to do with his dealings he didn't trust whyte an who can blame him coz I don't trust him he was sacked for asking " awkward questions like " oi whyte ya tube just tell us where your money is"

Are u kidding only thing bain was interested in was the image of being ceo and going on freebies and how he looked wouldnt even have got the job if he wasnt murrays puppet.

This is the clown that is suing us for 1.5 million.

The main poster here just doesn't have a clue. Bain is one of the reasons we are in the state we are in, chances are he was offering silly money to players whilst receiving silly money in wages. The fact he is suing the club says it all.

Rangers made an enquiry for grant holt of norwhich they have said he is not for sale although rangers plan to bid for the 39year old at the end of the window , source SSN, also someone posted gers would be after holt and he got shot down , I also disagreed , sorry bud.

Don't talk tripe! Holts been banging them in he doesn't start every game but plays the supersub Paul lambert would never sell him. Not in this window anyway

Hes 30 m8t

20 Jan 2012 15:17:30
I wrote last week before the St Johnstone game that Rangers had a habit of saying they would like to sign certain players (Sandaza), just as we where about to play their team, maybe hoping to unerve them & lets face it he didn't really do anything against us. I got slated for saying this but surprise surprise, Rangers have dropped their interest in him, tell you what though, we dodged a bullet, the guy is NO-WHERE near good enough for us.

Who else have we done that with then. Your suggesting ally was scared of a player who can't run. Wipe the s.. t of your chin mate

due to the fact that we havnt submitted audited accounts(by 31st dec) we will not be granted a euro licence by the SFA! is this why there was no AGM? if theres to be no euro football this year should we not be told? i for one will not be happy if this is true and yet again asks the question what is whyte playing at? these rules are stated very clearly so whos to blame?this is a real financial problem i would think.we need to ask questions bears. blueforyou

Man you have to be the most negative poster iv seen on these gers pages mate .... your on moaning about us not being in europe wen we dont even know if thats the case.

Gerryman

We are going into administration wake up, its a 3 year euro ban anyway, winning the league wins nothing without euro football

Gerryman.not moaning mate worried! never trusted the whyte deal,expected more from ally,and the euro thing is in black n white,they cant give us a licence cz we missed the deadline(dec31) the only hope is a legal battle(again)re the wee tax case.all i ask for is transparency is that too much before i shell out close to £6oo on season tickets? blueforyou

20 Jan 2012 11:28:54
There is a lot of talk of Edu putting in a lot of work on the park and Ally likes his effort, but what about skill level, he can't make a telling pass couldn't trap a bag of cement and first touch is terrible I think Davis is more worried about Edu and it's affecting his game. Come on Ally open your eyes he's a good guy but you need to think of the team so leave him out even try Wallace instead.

Aye, sure. Walter, Aly and the American manage haven't got a clue. Against Motherwell he was very good, and Davis wasn't. In fact, Davis blows far too hot and cold for such a good player

Edu has looked better the last few games granted, but this guy has been carried for a long time, in a 4 man mid he has been found wanting. runs about like a headless chicken, i could do the same. there players warming the bench that should have had a shout to show what they can do and to run a run of form. he should av dropped monyhs ago. or i must watchinhg the wrong player.

Edu is fine. As I said, surely Ally, Walter and the American manager can't be wrong. And the Sochaux manager as well? He may not be the most skillful, but he breaks up play, wins the ball and gives it to the guys that are supposed to be the ball players. not his fault if they do hee haw with it. The time hasn't played since Naismith got injured, but Edu takes the rap. Sorry, just not on.

As for the headless chicken - just watch Davis. He gets pulled out of position all the time. At least Edu tries to get make his presence felt. Criticism with balance is one thing, but picking on a player is just wrong. If he wear Royal Blue he's fine by me. I hated Boyd, a waste of a feckin' skin who didn't know how good he had it, but I never gave him anything other than support when he played.

Listened to Talk Sport. They were discussing their top teams having a B team in the lower leagues or 'feeder' type teams.
I think we should look at it up here.
Regular team games for the squad players who are not in the running for 1st team/subs selection, younger players and players returning from injury etc I think would benefit along with the management team in being able to see squad players perform regularly in a meaningful team game.
I know there used to be the Reserve League with very little interest. But a revamp of this or allowing 'B' teams into the lower divisions could benefit all concerned. If the crowds were to be about 2 thousand for home games, then this is more than some of the SPL midweek games and bigger than most of the lower divisions. If prices were set right then people who cannot make SPL games could be attracted and take their kids along.
Obviously teams who have been waiting to join the Scot League would be against a feeder type team, but if that is the case then extend the Leagues and maybe look at some of the Junior teams coming in also.
There is the question of Cup games if allowed into the League but I am sure something could be sorted out as the SFA fixed the draws for years!
I don't think many pitches could handle SPL, some Euro, Cup and 2nd 11 games in the first half of the season so this would have to be looked into.
I just think that Murray Park takes the youngsters and players to a certain level but then there is a void between there and first team football if you are not in the frame for a game.
Am sure there are points I have missed that just bomb the idea right out and might be a load of BS to others.
I feel that there are a number of players in squads appearing to be just that, a number and who are getting paid to be that, but who would prefer the chance to prove themselves in regular meaningful games and if they fail to do so then they can move on.
What do you think?

I think its a great idea and dont see too many negatives in it ..rangers ,celtic maybe hearts b sides in say the 2nd division with no promotion that way they wouldnt stop any of the smaller clubs progressing .it would give our younger players competitive football and it would surely increase attendances at these clubs giving them extra revenue .ie old firm are away from home and fans cant get to game they could take there kids to likes of rangers B v arbroath and would add a good few hundred onto the gate that they wouldnt normally get as for the cup just exclude the B sides from entering ..it works in spain and look at them they are world champions and have great young players coming through ..for too long SFA have been scared of change ..WELL I THINK ITS TIME AS OUR GAME NEEDS IT

Guys i think this a great idea but what i would do is make ALL Rangers B and Celtic B home games for the lesser clubs so that both old firm clubs are always away from home. This way Ibrox and Leggo lands pitch will not get over used and the lesser clubs will have more home games and more people through their gates and will make a lot more money. This will benefit Rangers etc as players will be playing every week in competitive games!

Some people questioning my calling you all Ostriches well in Behavioural Finance the "Ostrich Effect" is to pretend that financial problems will simply go away by ignoring them. Which is exactly what all on here have done since Whyte took over. I rest my case M'Lud. hail hail Timalloy

What's everyone's thoughts on this team GB? Forgot the politics that goes with it, do you think it's a good idea & if you got the call would you go?

My only beef Is the Scottish players might not get a game infact I think they would be lucky to get the bench

Thoughts ?

Lenny

Don't want anything to do with it, can u get any more English than Stuart pearce? Can't stand the man, GB will get pumped anyway

There is a fear for the home nations. That they will make us become one football team. We would lose scotland, england, NI and wales. However we might win something then :D

I think it is down to the individual player and club. But I think you are right about being played as I think Pearce has an idea of his team already. He'll want players from all home countries in the squad to reflect GB, but playing them will be different.

My only worry is its on the same time as our season starts and champions league qualifiers .and sorry but if naismith is picked then hes staying here and not team GB

20 Jan 2012 00:43:07
Why do we let so many young talents leave before they have matured eg kenny McLean from stmirren andrew shinnie from inverness ,charlie adam,Rory loy etc loan them out let them improve then see what their future holds. No?

Could not agree more mate

Yep, our young players seem to be able to get to a certain point in their development and somehow don't manage to push on to become first team regulars.

Fleck and Wylde recent examples where they burst onto the scene, get a few games play well initially and then seem to regress. Don't know what the answer is but its a waste of talent and surely a decent way of generating income.
