First post on here. Want to wish all you fellow bear's a merry Chrismas and a happy new year.

Yours sincerely,

Bobby Madden.



23 Dec 2020 22:23:43
No probs Bobby, payment in the usual brown envelope at Harthill Services ;-)
Fish, fish.



23 Dec 2020 21:39:50
I didn't see the match tonight, but my Son told me he felt it was a good all round performance, and make no mistake, the other lot would have bee banking on us dropping points tonight. We also increased the goal difference tonight, and the more we keep winning, the pressure will quickly turn on the, it's what we do that counts, also, Doidge got sent off tonight, so he will miss Saturdays game.



23 Dec 2020 22:09:17
Absolutely remarkable, played 19 league games, scored 53 goals and conceded only 5. We will keep this ip and we will win 55. Do we have to strengthen in Jan? I'm not so sure, its not broken so doesn't need fixed. We look as if we have a squad who can trust each other, even when we go a goal down. I wouldn't want anything or anyone to upset what we've got going here. This team brings a lot of happiness to all us bears, which is what we need at this time .



23 Dec 2020 22:24:04
Dodge was 2 yellows so I think he's available.



23 Dec 2020 22:30:23
Agreed Irvger, they would have been willing St Johnstone to even get a draw and claw 2 points back, their Holy Grail is disintegrating right before their eyes, the crumblebums are waiting on us to join the crumblebum club and it's hurting them more than you could imagine that we don't look like crumbling, we look the opposite of crumbling and a big win against hibs on sat with them kicking off later will really pile on the pressure, we are on a beautiful journey and as we cruise along we can clearly see a big sign saying, Title
. 55. .
We Are The People.



24 Dec 2020 00:50:23
Didn't see match myself because couldn't get up but St Johnstone brought, OHalloran on for Kicking match because how many subs on and off before end of game?



24 Dec 2020 07:59:25
Hi Onewaltersmith, my understanding was you miss the next match, and also you can't appeal 2 yellows, but you can a straight red, don't know for certain though.



24 Dec 2020 09:37:44
Suspended mate.



23 Dec 2020 21:02:48
Comfortable 3-0 which I had a small wager on.

Fredo needs a goal badly he snatched at the chance tonight but for me he starts on Boxing Day against hibs maybe unpopular but I’ll back him to the hilt.

St Johnstone offered very little we could have played the under 21s and one that game.



23 Dec 2020 21:26:57
I've always been a massive fan of alfredo morelos KJA9 like yourself and many others, but i honestly do now feel that kemar roofe is emerging as our no.1 striker🤔I'll tell you why! Roofe for me is a better finisher than morelos with an array of different types of goals ie. from 6 yard finishes, to placed finishes, to power finishes! that's with both his left foot, right foot and head. Roofe also edges it as he's tremendous on the half turn 👌 The only thing i think morelos has up on roofe is strength/ power, although roofe does use his body well also.
Roofe is more calm with his finishing where morelos a lot of the time goes for the smash/ power instead of finesse at times, which roofe has in abundance. Just my honest opinion here, although i do still rate/ like alfredo!



23 Dec 2020 21:32:28
Yip same as myself! I had a fiver on the scorecast, rangers 3-0 and roofe first goalscorer at 30/ 1👍🇬🇧A nice wee 155quid lift, happy days 😁.



23 Dec 2020 21:56:43
Never seen game tonight as was working only home now
Going to try get some highlights

We have to play the in form striker who’s hitting the net
It’s how leagues are won not picking your friends or your besties Morelos whether you like him or not is not hiring the net
So Roofe would and should be starting every game Morelos coming off the bench until he proved he’s hitting the net regularly again

Itten also scored goals on his very few appearances chances are there for the forwards as it’s shows so Morelos need to up his game quickly.

in my very own humble opinion 😊.



23 Dec 2020 22:05:10
Thought the buff played very well apart from the miss.



23 Dec 2020 22:05:59
play the in form striker and morelos isn't on form. that said i am not sure roofe could play every game without injury. i would rather see morelos get his confidence back so we can raise his profile and maximise our profit. not playing him ain't going to do that. however winning the league and having a chance at europe is our priority and no favouritism should be shown.



23 Dec 2020 22:07:12
I agree he is better at the moment SGL I just like roofe on the right more just my opinion than thru the middle with fredo thru the middle and Kent the other side I think is our best front 3 and fredo will come good.

I had bet fredo and 3-0 as I thought he would start if I had bet it after I had seen the team it would have been roofe.

Enjoy your winnings SGL.



23 Dec 2020 22:16:44
SGL, Roofe and Defoe have a calming temperament which obviously shows on the pitch. Morelos is showing a lot of anger and frustration. He needs to sort that out then maybe he'll become more composed again in front of goal and start banging them in.



23 Dec 2020 23:04:36
The Stig, Morelos has lost his way of late, jings, Stevie Wonder could of took that easy chance tonight. Now I'm not slating the lad as we all know what he's capable of. The lad needs time out. Right now, Roofe, Defoe and Itten are in front of him. Is he being played in the hope he'll come good for the January transfer window.



23 Dec 2020 23:09:17
Correct sgl.



23 Dec 2020 23:16:11
The stig fredo brings more than goals to the table unlike itten and Defoe that’s why he is a head of them and roofe I think is better at right forward Kenton the left and fredo thru middle that is our strongest forward line up in my opinion.



24 Dec 2020 05:49:03
Morelos passing and link up play was immense when he came on. His miss was woeful and seriously lacking in confidence in front of goal but he starts in old firm before Defoe for me. Defoes finishing 2nd to none but got bullied all over the place in the last derby he started for us.



24 Dec 2020 07:25:13
I wouldn’t play Morelos against the unwashed as he can’t score against them even when he was in good form he would be a liability right now because the more frustrated he gets the more chance there is of petulant behaviour which result in more red cards.



24 Dec 2020 07:36:38
Cheers KJA9👍I'll maybe buy a nice single malt whisky 🥃 with part of my winnings, or maybe 2,3 or 4 😁🇬🇧.



24 Dec 2020 09:41:15
Mind keep a bottle for May sgl.



24 Dec 2020 09:52:48
Morelos is having a dele alli of a season, went from top of his game to absolute nightmare in 1 season. How do we fix it is anyone’s guess.



23 Dec 2020 20:39:00
Said it last week Morelos should be classed as 4th striker now, he shouldn't have been put on before Itten or defoe.



23 Dec 2020 20:50:24
4th choice u having a laugh.



23 Dec 2020 20:57:50
He's not doing himself justice sweep, every other ST we have is scoring goals in this 'new position' and the sitter he missed tonight, surely we are entitled to expect better from a ST that our club values more than 16mil. 👍.



23 Dec 2020 21:01:08
Don’t talk utter rubbish.



23 Dec 2020 21:18:57
Yea I think that’s total nonsense to sweep.



23 Dec 2020 21:43:11
Why all this defence of Alfie, he hasn't earned this sort of support this season and some of last season, he's not doing the job well enough or showing enough to start before the other 3 strikers, just my opinion, I know a few will disagree.



23 Dec 2020 21:44:26
Ok guys, who's the no.1 choice rangers striker ATM 🤔.



23 Dec 2020 21:55:39
Kemar Roofe.



23 Dec 2020 21:59:34
Every player in the squad is playing their part, why wouldn't we defend "Alfie" or any other player in the squad that has got us 16 points clear at the top at Christmas? I include Stewart and Barker in this.



23 Dec 2020 22:01:30
Surely we all want to win the league this year
I’m going to assume everyone is a yes to this question

So why would anyone want a striker on who’s not scoring goals let him play from the bench and prove he can start hitting the net like the rest are doing

Let the strikers who’s scoring goals start the game?
that’s a simple black abs white answer whether you fancy him or not
just because I love my wife I certainly wouldn’t want her as the teams no1 striker

Come on you lot give yourself a shake
We want the league this year so Inform players play not your best pals
Goodness me 😉.



23 Dec 2020 22:09:26
is there such a thing. the way gerrard has the team playing there is usually 2 so called strikers playing on any game. still think morelos gives defense the biggest headaches.



23 Dec 2020 22:10:06
Defoe can’t start and was rank rotten against mwell didn’t do enough running to start every week I would only have him off the bench.

Itten has been hit and miss

Roofe is outstanding most games but in y opinion better as right forward or whatever you like to call it.

Fredo mostly miss this season but his link up play and taking CH all over the place has helped others get in behind to score.

Just my 2 bobs worth guys.



23 Dec 2020 22:14:12
Won't be long until he gets sent off again imo and puts us under pressure. I'd much rather play with any of the other 3 strikers, we scored 8 goals in 2 and a half games without him, he's not as big a player as people on here think.



23 Dec 2020 22:14:32
Kemar roofe coop👍.



24 Dec 2020 02:12:31
See the usual suspects can't admit the player in question is just woeful at the moment.



24 Dec 2020 05:52:09
What is it with you coldo? Always having a dig about this “ new position” as you call it. The guy is seriously lacking in confidence in front of goal and his miss was woeful but can you not at least admit his all round play was class again when he came on? Weapon.



24 Dec 2020 07:40:34
Although i've said that roofe is currently rangers no.1 striker, i remain and always will remain a big fan of morelos! He's going through a bad time of it ATM, but undoubtedly will come back to form again ie. form is temporary, class is permanent 👌🇬🇧.



24 Dec 2020 07:41:19
See the usual posters can't see what alfie brings to the game apart from goals! Glad Gerrard does 👍.



24 Dec 2020 08:59:47
Captav, every other ST we have is scoring goals in this 'new position' that people are using as an excuse to defend fredo for not scoring. Weapon👍.



24 Dec 2020 09:36:08
The usual sarcasm is coming to the fore regarding Morelos. IMO in his first 2 years he was never outside the 18 yard box, a bit like Jimmy Greaves, and this season he is linking up play like never before. I admit at this moment he would not score in a bro@@! l, his confidence is shot, last night is an example. I agree his frustration could/ will get him in trouble, but I would start him alongside Roofe. He is not scoring but is more a team player now.



24 Dec 2020 09:57:49
Coldo I have asked u before and will ask u again why does the manager keep playing him.



24 Dec 2020 10:19:46
John you won't get a straight answer! This is the guy that keeps seeing a 4 4 2 formation 🤣🤣.



24 Dec 2020 10:21:02
Fredo was dropped earlier in the season John when he was poor and he was dropped again last night. If roofe keeps going the way he is the manager won't have to play fredo. Why did the manager play ojo, worrall etc when we had better players. Who knows John. 👍.



24 Dec 2020 10:40:51
We played 442 2nd half v liege and it won us the game barrow👍.



24 Dec 2020 11:21:15
Coldo can u explain why SG and McAllister refer to Alf new position.
And being the tactical genius you think u r, can you not see definitely and roofe don’t play the same position as Alf in terms of appearing in own half and defend set pieces.



24 Dec 2020 11:59:46
Coldo you've claimed on three different occasions that we have reverted to a 4 4 2 system! Do you still believe this and as I asked then! Explain?



24 Dec 2020 12:19:15
John why does fredo play this 'new role' but when we have roofe or itten or defoe through the middle they don't play the 'new role'. Forgot more than you know. 👍.



24 Dec 2020 13:00:58
Ah Coldo reverting to type - how do you know what John knows?

I'm pretty sure that SG has forgotten more than you'll ever know.

Morelos has a different skill set from Roofe, Defoe etc hence he is asked to play a role that the others cant.

If you have an open mind it's pretty easy to understand but it feels like you just want to be proved right.



24 Dec 2020 13:23:01
No mention of John's revert to type dig DK? I have been proved correct many times when it comes to fredo. Barrow we played 442 2nd half v liege and it won us the game👍.



24 Dec 2020 13:37:14
Coldo we didn't! You base that on what?



24 Dec 2020 13:49:22
Barrow we did👍.



24 Dec 2020 14:46:35
Coldo we never!



24 Dec 2020 16:14:36
Coldo, in my opinion John is entitled to bite back on occasion but usually just gives an alternative opinion.

You ram your opinions repeatedly down our throats even though they are more often wrong than right.



24 Dec 2020 18:10:41
What is my revert to type dig, must have touched a nerve with the guy that regularly demonstrates he knows nothing about tactics
I’ll go with SG.



23 Dec 2020 20:18:30
Couple of decent games on BBC Red Button tonight. At 20:35 its Porto v Benfica in the Portuguese super cup and for us night owls at 00:20 Boca Juniors v Racing club in the copa Libertadores. Grab a beer and relax!



23 Dec 2020 20:15:02
Only one thing that sticks out tonight is Alfie's lack of confidence in front of goal, would normally put that chance away but having a nightmare time of it.



23 Dec 2020 21:51:52
Lack of confidence or simply found out?



23 Dec 2020 22:10:14
found out about what? his record speaks for itself.



23 Dec 2020 22:16:03
Why is it that we are having to defend one of our own against a repetitive tirade from our own fans?

Alfie has led the line well, scored a shed load of goals and is a menace to defences whilst creating openings and opportunities for others.

Right now he is going through a barren patch, clearly lacking confidence and yet some are queuing up to trash him

In my book, fans should be supporting him, giving him confidence so that he gets his mojo back instead of competing to be the first Beto be proven right.

I story says that he is not the first striker to go on an extended run without scoring but then gets back on track.



23 Dec 2020 22:26:46
Found out? Rangers top European goal scorer of all time? Found out lol 😂.



23 Dec 2020 22:28:40
Ps has Edward been found out too or is it just Alfie in your opinion?



24 Dec 2020 09:02:03
Shouldn't fredo support the fans by not getting sent off for petulance DK? 👍.



24 Dec 2020 09:58:21
Yes coldo! But shouldn't you show a player that's your clubs record European goal scorer and is going through a rough patch more support? After all he does link up that front three in our team! Gerrard obviously can see what he brings to the team at the moment or he wouldn't be playing! Its no mistake that Arfields dip in form happened as morelos was suspended? Yes coldo his own fault! But how long do you want the boy punished? Or why not just admit that you just Don't like him.



24 Dec 2020 14:08:17
Fans continually show him support after every petulant ban and dip in form. He disrespected the fans and club by throwing his toys out the pram when he never got his move. How many times do we go through this with fredo before we say enough? Because let's face it its every year. 👍.



24 Dec 2020 14:46:54
You don't!



23 Dec 2020 20:05:45
Still unbeaten, could we go all the way unbeaten, what a way to get the 55,Hibs next to the slaughter.
In Stevie G i trust.



23 Dec 2020 20:15:40
What's it all about Alfie. If ever a player needed a goal to give him confidence it's Alfie.



23 Dec 2020 20:30:14
Cilla Black?



23 Dec 2020 21:21:30
Lorra lorra.



23 Dec 2020 20:05:18
Very pleasing performance, roofe in amongst the goals again. How can roofe score through the middle in this new role but fredo can't? KJA9 I think you were wrong about the team missing fredo, what do you think? He's got to take that chance. Well done hagi👍.



23 Dec 2020 20:13:14
Coldo it’s all about a squad. Aribo superb tonight as was hagi and kamara.



23 Dec 2020 20:18:06
Another embarrassing sitter missed I'm afraid. The new role talk will likely be the cover story.



23 Dec 2020 20:18:43
Last season you put the mortgage on him finishing that. Feeling for him a bit. Another great 3 points on the road. The next 7 league games are vital. Hibs home and away aberdeen and motherwell away and celtic.



23 Dec 2020 20:23:16
Roofe is on a different level to Morelos. He’s absolute class. Morelos is a good option to have but not quite good enough to be our main striker. I think Itten looks better all round also. Strikers need to put that chance away that Alfie had.



23 Dec 2020 20:40:15
Yes John it is about the squad, that's great, however we are discussing the impact morelos has on the team. 👍.



23 Dec 2020 21:20:01
Morelos pleased the manager. So does for me. Hopefully he finally does business against them.

Another embarrassing post from blue would do.



23 Dec 2020 21:22:00
Alfie will come back . don’t worry . when he dies this league better beware.



23 Dec 2020 21:36:41
Alfie came on and could have had ayellow on his first challenge. He seems to be clumsy. Apart from they he played well. They all did. 55 on the way. One day closer.



23 Dec 2020 21:46:22
Rossco he did welll, however he missed a sitter.



24 Dec 2020 00:27:46
Really needs a goal.



24 Dec 2020 02:10:03
Why is it an embarrassing post? just points out something every one watched.



24 Dec 2020 07:29:59
Alfie just on a bad run of form, needs minutes and a bit of luck to break the run then get firing. The dark sides Eddie is similar at the moment, sitters being missed every game. Alfie will come good again, though not scoring his hold up play and getting in about them is missed when he doesn’t play
Roofe looking better every game and shaping up to be a star for us.



24 Dec 2020 07:44:31
God we won the game comfortably, and still the negative posts 🤦.



23 Dec 2020 19:53:28
How bad is McGregor with the ball at his feet. kick out after kick out went to the opposition. this needs addressed before celtic game. on the up tho were half way through the season and flying #55s a coming.



23 Dec 2020 20:24:22
Daviedouglas, I spotted that a while ago. McGregor does everything right apart from his kick outs, its continuous. I find that very strange as he's a bit of a perfectionist. I've also noticed he's not as calm, he seems to have a wee bit of a temper. He's still a fantastic keeper but I think McLaughlin is more relaxed and composed at the minute.



23 Dec 2020 20:32:08
DaveD the solution is obvious and readily available.



23 Dec 2020 21:41:13
Totally agree with you lads regarding greegs, great goalkeeper but i prefer mclaughlin also as i think his alround game is better in particular his distribution with the ball at his feet, just my opinion. We play out from the back so the goalkeeper being comfy on the ball adds to the team keeping possession of the ball better.



23 Dec 2020 21:48:15
The one thing Alan doesn't do as well as Big Joe is cross balls, he doesn't command his box the same, great shot stopper, we're lucky to have 2 such good goal keepers though.



23 Dec 2020 22:41:56
I think that Mc Gregor’s plan A kick out to the wing for Tav to head on opposing sides picked up on, plan B give the ball to Goldson who plays it Tav opposing sides have pressed up to stop this so it’s a big kick up the park,



23 Dec 2020 23:19:28
I would play McLaughlin ahead of mcgregor I think he’s earned a few games to show what he’s got.



23 Dec 2020 19:52:09
That was more like it today!

Only two wee worrying things. Kent has been way too quiet of late, and Morelos c'mon man!

Hagi was my MOTM. Took his lumps and kept ticking over and got his rewards. All the rest were solid too.



23 Dec 2020 20:21:05
Hagi has been good recently, would keep him in the team.



23 Dec 2020 22:14:52
Hagi played well but had to be Aribo for me.



23 Dec 2020 19:05:16
That'll do Rangers, we're up 3 nil. I backed us to win 3 nil, so back off. LOL.



23 Dec 2020 19:25:03
are you on the chat stuck?



23 Dec 2020 19:49:46
Well done the stuck Hope you made your Xmas money mate.



23 Dec 2020 19:50:50
Well done stuck. Why didn't Moreles first time that effort into the moty net? Not that Stuck is bothered lol.



23 Dec 2020 19:57:56
Well done stuck, u will be glad Alf blew his chance. He linked up very well.



23 Dec 2020 20:07:30
Had a gander at the jackanory page n thers no mention of ther result i take it they were mince again ahah.



23 Dec 2020 20:08:11
Well done stuck.



23 Dec 2020 20:08:33
Thank goodness Morelos missed that absolute sitter. A wee fiver on 3 nil at 7/ 1.



23 Dec 2020 20:10:31
Well done bud. If you were a Celtic fan on Saturday would you hope we hump Hibs in their fight for 2nd.?



23 Dec 2020 20:11:38
I got my scorecast up guys 👍I had a fiver on rangers 3-0 and roofe to score the first goal at 30/ 1.I'll collect my £155 winnings the morra thank you very much 😁.



23 Dec 2020 20:26:36
Cheers lads, think I'll buy another bottle of Cardhu with my winnings.



23 Dec 2020 20:27:26
Brilliant Xmas bonus Coop. Well done mate.



23 Dec 2020 22:17:04
Well done coops.



23 Dec 2020 18:38:49
I think the ref has accidentally swallowed his whistle.



23 Dec 2020 20:08:47
Hell swallow his teeth if he keeps it up lol joke.



23 Dec 2020 20:14:38
Morelos cannot buy a goal.



23 Dec 2020 17:48:12
Settled down to a great picture on St Johnstone TV with a large Cardhu. Has anyone tried that? It's a lovely wee tipple.



23 Dec 2020 17:52:30
Have never heard of it stuck. Decent I take it?



23 Dec 2020 18:01:03
AlloaGer, its cosmic. Usually retails around £40. Tesco are doing it for £25 if you have a clubcard. Its rich and mellow with warm notes of baked apple and toffee.



23 Dec 2020 18:56:59
I live in Speyside and have visited Cardhu many times for work. Its a great little distillery that produce's fine single malt. For what its worth one of the best up here. Avoid Macallans new whisky or Glenfiddich standard bottle. Linkwood would be my recommendation however there are hundreds of distillery's up here and for anybody that's visited Gordon and McPhail in Elgin will testify to that, could spend hours in there.



23 Dec 2020 18:57:23
Is it whiskey? Jack daniel's has an apple drink, you may like that bud.



23 Dec 2020 19:00:01
Aye Stuck I’ve read that it has warm notes of baked apple and toffee. I would say it’s more caramel on the nose and a taste of biscuit but not everyone has the same taste, a wee after spice kick as well.
I’m on a half bottle of 15 year old Aberfeldy now after that first half.
And still we follow on.



23 Dec 2020 19:18:19
Floyder, good man, thanks for your input. Why have you ONLY tanned a half bottle?



23 Dec 2020 20:14:56
TJBB, like i've said on here, i'm rather partial to glen moray single malt whisky 🥃 mate. Really smooth like honey 🍯 with a nice wee hint of sweetness 👌How do you rate glen moray mate 🤔.



23 Dec 2020 20:20:42
Why not just watch it on rangers tv and change what country your watching game in through vpn?



23 Dec 2020 20:24:27
The stuck, unfortunately that was all that was left in the bottle, but I’m going on to the Duthac now mate. It will be a late one on YouTube tonight I think.
And still we follow on.



23 Dec 2020 20:30:24
Paul, I've tried all that, RTV was buffering really bad, not sure if it had anything to do with the amount of people tuning in. Still, can't complain, St John TV was spot on and so was the result.



23 Dec 2020 22:57:56
Drive past Glen Moray distillery most days, not bad for a wee dram but as our local shop Gordon and McPhail has over 1000 single malts I always try something different but normally a Speyside. i'm lucky enough to have tried many different types and it a very personal choice whether you rate one more than another at the end of the day. The best I had was a Linkwood 1978 but a reasonably priced Cardhu Gold reserve hits the spot, selling for 25 in Asda but easily as good as a 50 pound bottle IMO. I hope you have a great Christmas and get the chance to have more of the local produce my friend.



23 Dec 2020 17:34:22
Any1 surprised no Alfie OR itten?
Hagi has to do more when given the chance hopefully we get more tonight. c'mon gers no slipups.



23 Dec 2020 18:57:39
Hagi and aribo playing very well.



23 Dec 2020 19:52:28
Aribo mom for me. Gutsy performance. Another 3 points closer to our holy grail.



23 Dec 2020 17:06:17
Not overly happy with the team to be honest would have arfield in for aribo and fredo in and hagi out but hey ho the gaffer has picked 3 points is all that matters.



23 Dec 2020 17:45:27
Totally agree mate hope he's no making a basic mistake here i'd have gone same 2 u said bit of a strange wan to be honest.



23 Dec 2020 18:34:38
I’ll just keep my thoughts to myself in future my problem is I worry every game.



23 Dec 2020 18:36:06
Arfield has been a passenger last couple of games. Hagi deserves a chance to show what he can do again. Happy enough with team set up and so far seems to be working. Another 2 goals to come for us tonight.



23 Dec 2020 18:58:18
kJ both r having excellent games.



23 Dec 2020 19:58:56
Well dsgers what u make of aribo and hagi.



23 Dec 2020 20:16:21
The full team is playing well, but i thought tonight, aribo, kamara and hagi were superb 👌.



23 Dec 2020 17:01:18
Good luck to young Hagi tonight.



23 Dec 2020 17:40:06
Why good luck to hagi bankie? Is he starting? Or have I missed something g?



23 Dec 2020 15:57:56
Putting my tuppence worth in I'm not a big whiskey drinker and I might get slaughtered for this but I like a wee monkey shoulder. My brother swears by laphroaig my father in law is Highland park and old man used to love a glen fiddich.



23 Dec 2020 16:43:00
To each their own Borderblue7, monkey shoulder is the tipple for a few lads in our supporters club And I’ve had a few to be social. There is no right or wrong, it’s your nose, your tongue, your gut, your choice and your wallet.

And still we follow on.



23 Dec 2020 17:21:17
The guy who’s name is signed on the monkey shoulder lives around 10 doors from me. Nice bottle!



23 Dec 2020 17:42:32
It's certainly in the eye of the beholder, but Highland Park (HP sauce) is my goto tipple!



23 Dec 2020 17:49:40
I like a monkey shoulder aswell. Maybe had it 2 or 3 times but enjoyed it. I put a few drops a water in mine, no ice. Everyone different. I was drinking it with a Japanese guy one night and he asked why I put water in it as he drinks it straight, he said that’s how Japanese drink whiskey. I explained how the water opens up the flavours n aromas that wee bit so he tried it had a few different malts with me n I went to toilet came back n he’d left but left one behind the bar for me and said thanks. Whiskey brings people together 👌 my personal favourite is glenlivet 12 yo. Not been able to get it for a few year apparently they were running low so only export it now. I’m not keen on the 18 or the founders reserve (may be a 21) can’t remember.



23 Dec 2020 19:01:28
I hardly drink whisky, prefer a grey goose on ice.



23 Dec 2020 20:01:57
So do I John. I've never been a whisky man. Grey Goose is wonderful. Maybe I should be renamed Seekerski 😂.



23 Dec 2020 20:17:22
What about glens vodka John25 🤔.



23 Dec 2020 21:22:45
Never tasted that piss water SGL.



23 Dec 2020 13:02:09
not gers related but congrats to mr Messi --just overtook Pele in goals scored -oh to have a Scottish lionel on our books.



23 Dec 2020 17:07:04
Wonderful player.



23 Dec 2020 22:18:00
Great player but wee name calling twit. Prefer Cristiano. He likes the Rangers.



23 Dec 2020 13:00:48
I wrote a little time ago asking why Broxxibear had a double x but said in jest. I wrote a book Hannah Swann and the main character is Tom Miller. Not thee Tom Miller on commentary. Pure coincidence. There's a Rangers fan theme to it not large but poignant. Women are the majority of readers and book clubs and I believe your wives and girlfriends will get it and enjoy it. It would be great if ed posts this it's on kindle or hard copy from Amazon. Any review massively appreciated and hey a comment or two on Rangers Rumours. All the best for Christmas and a convincing win tonight.



23 Dec 2020 14:00:26
Im sure i tried for his name at first not realising it was already taken so just added an x, some imagination av got eh lol. Should have picked something to do with Gazza as he was my idol growing up. Also my nickname, due to my normal name ofcourse not because i possessed the same skillslol. All the best for xmas kfraser and also for a convincing win tonight. Keep the faith. We can do this. God bless 💙💙💙💙💙.



23 Dec 2020 14:14:10
If your no fast your last 😛.



23 Dec 2020 15:03:48
Although its bourbon i like jack daniels, but i'm wirking at 5am tomorrow so its the irnbru for me.



23 Dec 2020 12:58:42
Floyder, will you be sitting with your wee single malt whisky 🥃, watching the bears tonight mate 🤔 I'll be sitting and having a few glen moray single malt whiskys 👍
What do you think of glen moray mate 🤔 Its certainly one of my favourite malt whiskys and is as smooth as honey 🍯👌A nice hint of sweetness in it also 👌.



23 Dec 2020 14:11:59
Sorry to weigh in on this SGL, I’ll be watching tonight with a few drams of bunnahabhain, got a wee taste for it just now although I do have 4 or 5 others in the drinks cupboard at the moment.



23 Dec 2020 14:53:47
No its perfectly fine FOrfarBear to join the discussion on our whisky 🥃 tipple debate pal👍.



23 Dec 2020 14:55:01
FOrfarBear, i've never heard of that drink, i take it its a single malt whisky mate 🤔.



23 Dec 2020 15:10:17
Nah Steven G L. mate it's a home brew he makes in the shed round the back.



23 Dec 2020 15:21:39
I like this debate. Tonight I'll be opening a bottle of Highland Park 12 which I received from a neighbour recently. A wee cube of ice and Rangers winning 4-0 will be just fine. By the way, my all-time favourite single malt is Laphroaig 10. I'm hoping my son or daughter will have sent one for Xmas! Happy days boys.



23 Dec 2020 15:22:15
Just got the moretti in. Along with some red wine (xmas meal) fine bottle if crystal head vodka and bottle of jager. have a good 1 lads.



23 Dec 2020 15:32:08
I've a penchant for Caol Ila myself, but BUNNAHABHAIN is certainly a nice drop ( good deals in morrisons just now btw)



23 Dec 2020 15:36:31
SGL I’ll have a few Drams and a few belhaven 80 shillings also my friend, and all going well tonight I will be opening a bottle of the Duthac from the Glenmorangie legends collection which the ladS from work gave me as a gift yesterday when finishing up for my 2 week break.

Got to be honest SGL I think I had the Glen Moray one night many years ago when I was up in the clachaig inn Glencoe but can’t remember much about it. (The night and the drink) Hearing your review I might give it a try again.
Tried the bunnahabhain F0rfarBear goes down well.
Hopefully all goes well tonight lads and the heads stand up to the half’s in the morning.
And still we follow on.



23 Dec 2020 15:38:48
Yes mate, it’s an islay single malt.



23 Dec 2020 15:40:59
I first tried it on a work night out last Xmas, been hooked ever since on it, but my auld man has also got me into glenlivet Carribean reserve just now aswell.



23 Dec 2020 15:56:49
A pint of Morretti from my blade followed by a Talisker 18 which is probably move favourite whisky.



23 Dec 2020 17:56:26
Forfar bear bunnahabhain is the only Isla malts I like, I prefer glens only mate but an old bar owner I used to talk to on my haircut day was a whiskey man and surprised I liked and knew so much about whiskey for my age, about 28 at the time, so he told me try that as it was similar to a glen and he was right. I find the Isla’s too peaty and Smokey not what I’m into. Prefer the smoothness of a glen. It’s to do with the water that’s used in glen compared to the islas.



23 Dec 2020 19:45:01
Totally agree mate, the only islay I really touch.



23 Dec 2020 10:48:48
Do you think with Baloguns form have dipped massively and katic just and helander coming back from injury we should get phil jones on loan. Edmundson would have got a chance if he hadnt blown it with his C.V. breach. I feel he will be gone in January along with jones.



23 Dec 2020 12:08:22
Cant see Edmondson leaving, the lad has loads of potential, as for Jones, he can leave anytime.



23 Dec 2020 12:09:57
Jones on a fortune and a bomb scare. Not for me mate.



23 Dec 2020 12:27:32
No chance.



23 Dec 2020 12:42:04
Not for me Laudbear. I think Goldson and Helander are first choice and Balogun is a decent replacement to rotate with Helander even although his form has dipped slightly. It will be interesting to see if Edmundson comes back into the squad but I can't see us signing anyone in that position unless Edmundson is sold. Lewis Mayo is also a cracking young player but not sure if he's out on loan or not.



23 Dec 2020 13:04:57
Phil jones. oooh please no. think jones and stewart will both be gone. edmondson looks a class act and will be kept I think.



23 Dec 2020 13:45:32
Mayo at loan Dunfermline, struggles to get a game.



23 Dec 2020 14:43:13
Ive watched a few matches from the pars this year. Mayo looked very comfy whenever he has played and i know coming from some pars fans they think he should be in the team most weeks.



23 Dec 2020 15:54:23
Cool Dunfermline. I always have a concern when our loan players struggle for a start.



23 Dec 2020 18:07:41
Phil Jones is a great old fashioned centre half also good on the ball however he’s injured 75% of the time. Not for me.



23 Dec 2020 10:38:45
Can't wait for big Katic to get fit and go full beast mode. I'll be gutted for the lad should we lift the league title and he doesn't get a medal.

We've not had it the easiest with injuries this season though we've coped quite well.

Can't underestimate how important Ryan Jack is to the side, we just don't concede when he's playing so heres hoping he's back in ASAP also.



23 Dec 2020 12:28:46
Katic will be 4th choice centre half and struggle for game time. Over the moon for him getting back to fitness. But goldson balogun helander are all far better centre halfs than niko.



23 Dec 2020 13:06:03
Paul 86.are you forgetting katic was first choice before and will be again in my eyes once he's back up to speed.



23 Dec 2020 13:55:35
As much as I like katic he was not first choice and will be 4th choice when fit.



23 Dec 2020 14:43:56
Id expect Katic to get more opportunities in this side. Up to him whether he keeps the shirt when he gets them.



23 Dec 2020 14:50:10
Stats speak for themselves, katic doesn't improve this side in the slightest.



23 Dec 2020 14:58:31
Totally 200% agree with paul86 and bgate w here on this one 👍I like big katic but definitely for me behind goldson, helander, balogun in the pecking order!



23 Dec 2020 15:26:36
Davie that was b4 balogun was here and helander was getting to grips with game here. Katic very rash a lot of times and his postional sense is terrible. Comfortable 4th choice. Like i said glad he's back tho must have been a terrible year for him.



23 Dec 2020 15:37:08
daviedouglas, he was never our first choice centre half. At best he is third choice but probably fourth in line for a game, at least for the rest of this season.



23 Dec 2020 17:10:36
I agree with most on here katic isn’t 1st choice maybe in the future but not now and wasn’t before the injury.



23 Dec 2020 09:26:35
Mr grumpy hope u and family are ok.



23 Dec 2020 15:16:29
Fine John, just busy with work (hence the lack of posts)
The team is looking good, we've got a good squad. Lots to look forward to!
Merry Christmas to you and in fact to all posters on here.



23 Dec 2020 15:56:16
Glad all ok mr grumpy, u take care.



23 Dec 2020 07:47:02
Loving how 25million pound Tierney has helped arsenal to one of their worst campaigns in sixty years. We're one day loser to 55. I'm seeing a 4-1 tonight. St Johnstone won't play like mothercrap. They'll have a go.



Review Of The Day 23rd December 2020

23 Dec 2020 07:39:03
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 23rd December 2020



22 Dec 2020 23:17:06
I see brian laudrup in his daily mail column said he now thinks kemar roofe has overtaken alfredo morelos as rangers no.1 striker 🤔I also read stevie clifford's blog from fourladshadadream regarding kemar roofe and he was quite rightly waxing lyrical about roofe and praising highly roofe's ability to score all types of goals 👌Mark hateley said the exact same 🤔I personally enjoy all our strikers attributes, but what do we think fellow bears, is roofe now our no.1 striker 🤔
Its a very interesting topic!



23 Dec 2020 05:49:50
I’d say so coops, I posted something similar in a chat with you last week. Unfortunately it actually puts more weight behind my valuation of Morelos only being c. £5m, I’m sure we got Roofe for c. £6m and I believe he’s a better player.

I’m glad we now have choices up top and are no longer reliant on one player.



23 Dec 2020 06:43:30
Sgl I still regard Defoe as our most natural and best finisher . Roofe has in my opinion not really been playing as a striker in most games but I’d agree he scored all typified goals and at the moment he is our most potent attacker. I wouldn’t change his position right now the way he’s playing but I would like to see him as main striker through the middle. I also think big itten has a lot to offer and will given time prove his doubters wrong. Only thing I’d say is I’ve seen him flat footed in the box a couple of times. Alfredo has had some unplayable games for us but again in my opinion he’s looking a wee yard off it right now.



23 Dec 2020 06:59:33
Paid nowhere near 6 mill for roofe.



23 Dec 2020 07:06:19
Also imagine we had all front 3 firing and playin well not just roofe. We know Morelos has the potential just look at last 2 seasons goals they weren't a fluke. and we just need ryan kent to be far more consistant. Our defence and middle of the park have been incredible this season.



23 Dec 2020 07:40:27
Our defence has been good paul86,but that's also down to defending from the front and the high press and workrate of our front 3 and the midfield trio behind them pal👍Our defence is much more protected now because of the front 3 and midfield trio 🤔Credit all round regarding we're not conceding a lot of goals! 👌🇬🇧.



23 Dec 2020 09:03:22
Not sure i'd say he's our no1 striker yet but he would be in my strongest 11 along with morelos. Was wondering tho a lot of people believe kent hasn't been upto speed like his start to the season. i'd mabey consider playing aribo on the left of the front 3 as he can be unplayable and take players on for fun and also has great awareness and vision. He was in first 11 all the time before his unfortunate injury so when team settled when he recovered he's never cemented a starting slot due to others form while injured. i'd like to see a front 3 of aribo morelos and roofe together as afew peoole have said aribo is better in forward areas rather than midfield. I can't see gerrard not playing kent after shelling out 7mil for him but it could be a chance to give kent a rest and bring him on from the bench to prevent burnout and let him loose on tired defenders for last 25-30 mins. Get him back upto speed and playing like the player who got player of the month at start of the season. Any thoughts guys.



23 Dec 2020 09:49:40
Even when Kent's not at his best he's still dragging opposition defenders all Over the place, making space for others to exploit 👌He also has a tremendous workrate 👍
Kent would always be in my rangers team! He brings so much to our game,
the way gerrard wants us to play 👍🇬🇧.



23 Dec 2020 10:03:44
Very good post Broxxibear. Why the double xx to your poster name?



23 Dec 2020 11:47:18
Think roofe was £5m and itten was £2 total spend £7m plan was to replace Morelos but he didn’t go.



23 Dec 2020 11:52:20
I wouldn’t call roofe an out and out striker like Morelos is or rather was, however roofe is our best goal threat (well 2nd best after tav) atm, I’d keep him on the right false 10 position with Kent on the left as coop says his work rate and ability to drag defenders out of position and high press is a big part of our game, I do think he needs a rest though but he’s definitely in our strongest 11. We need to decide which is best whether be itten or Alfredo with those 2 either side. Obv Defoe can’t play every game even though ability wise he’s the best striker we have. The roofe is on fire but not through the middle for me.



23 Dec 2020 12:21:19
Yes roofs the best we have.



23 Dec 2020 12:50:41
Heard roofe deal was between 3.5 and 4 mill.



23 Dec 2020 12:52:57
I see Roofe as more a support striker/ winger to the main striker. He offers choices and can both create and score. Great lad to have in the team, but don't see him as a lone striker.



22 Dec 2020 22:58:52
See young glen Middleton got another two goals tonight, does anyone think he deserves a place on the Bench over Jones or Barker? I've not seen enough from either of those two and yeah he did seem to just be a pace merchant that got worked out, but by some of his performances he seems to be evolving into a more complete player.



23 Dec 2020 11:23:08
Technically I don't see him as any worse than Barker and the less said about Jones the better.

Only thing I think might be Barker's saving grace is he plays and understands his role in Gerrard's game plan. Think that might be part of why he gets appearances, hard to say if Middleton has the experience to do the same.



23 Dec 2020 11:52:44
If he’s not better than barker let him go.



23 Dec 2020 11:57:56
Up to now from what I've seen in his 1st team appearances Middleton is not good enough for Rangers. Umpteen chances to prove himself so obviously isn't quite at our level. He will be at Hearts or somebody next year.



23 Dec 2020 14:45:04
Yes, he should be one of the kids around the squad. definitely has something to offer with blistering pace and good shot on him.



22 Dec 2020 22:50:09
To be fair to Motherwell 5 mins too go they took of 3 centre halfs and left themselves with only 6 centre halfs.
