Rangers Banter Archive July 31 2018

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

31 Jul 2018 21:56:06
Not that it matters that much but love the fact the gers will be in pes 2019, played the game since the iss days on ps one and the fact that rangers, Ibrox and I believe an official Scottish premier league will be in the game is fantastic and it makes me feel our clubs identity is coming back by things like this happening might seem small but it builds excitement in me and think gerrard being our manager is slowly bringing the identity of the mighty, btw don't just think that because of a video game that's just a small aspect I am excited for 🇬🇧🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧.

31 Jul 2018 19:07:40
Hope this dose not sound silly the new deal with SD on the new kit will put more money into the kitty for rangers but are we sti going to stand against him and not buy the new kit?

31 Jul 2018 19:36:18
Let’s get something straight Ashley in this instance has done nothing wrong. We got the same deal jd we’re offering why would we boycott new kit it wouldn’t be fair on are new kit supplier hummel. I for 1 will be buying my children the new kit when it is finally available. The board are at fault for this situation.

31 Jul 2018 19:43:57
Just buy the kit from the rangers mega store or rangers online. we aren't losing anything on this deal.

31 Jul 2018 19:55:35
Best snap up that new forth Top, she’s a belter. Maybe sell out?

31 Jul 2018 20:10:40
Agree we need to buy the strips but the board need to come out and tell the fans exactly what the deal is and who gets what in terms of income. The board have dealt with this abysmally.

What Impression does this carry on give to Stevie G and the management team?

31 Jul 2018 20:16:32
Celt away and get your rangers tattoo finished.

31 Jul 2018 21:39:05
Not at all guys can’t wait to buy the tops again it’s been a crap couple years not getting one.

31 Jul 2018 22:57:57
Celt what’s a forth top is that out before the firth top dear oh dear I blame the “skools” snigger snigger.

01 Aug 2018 10:41:17
Hahaha. You're a belter Jimbob! Trying to mock someone's grammar and level of education using a sentence like that? Oh, that has made me chuckle this morning. Cheers bro. Hahahahaha.

01 Aug 2018 12:37:05
Nice one jim suss them all out feckin obsessed or what?

31 Jul 2018 18:07:49
Eds there is always chat about agrees and disagrees on here. Is it not possible to list the agrees/ disagrees in small print italics underneath the buttons or a link to see who is agreeing or disagreeing? It might also be helpful for further if debate if you know who is on what side of any argument? Just a thought but I'm not a programmer so forgive me if it's technically difficult or has been suggested before.

Cheers Eds.

{Ed001's Note - not going to happen, just ignore them, they are merely there to keep away trolls from commenting yes, no, I agree or I disagree. It does not further debate having that kind of crap filling up a page.}

31 Jul 2018 18:55:37
Ed it's fine the way it is.

31 Jul 2018 21:08:00
Ah right fair enough I'll just get back in my box 😂👍.

31 Jul 2018 21:48:57
Jmaster, if you just use the proviso that all the disagree-ers are from stankville then you’ll not be too far away!

31 Jul 2018 18:06:05
Swansea sign wee baz mckay.

31 Jul 2018 19:09:00
Who cares?

01 Aug 2018 07:40:01
WBBB will get chased from there as well!

31 Jul 2018 16:12:09
Celtic get PES partnership, all over the news. Rangers get one, not a peep.

31 Jul 2018 16:25:26
No surprise Marco - they take any opportunity to publish negative stories, however anything positive and it’s swept under the proverbial. Noticed the htmc site continue to run Alan Brazil’s Flannigans assault issues, story was originally posted 24th June! 🤔. Celtic low ball offer to hibs for a 23 year old international, nothing mentioned! 🤔. However the world has ended when rangers make a low bid for a player in his 30s with less than a year left on his contract. My advice is don t purchase their rags and stay off their websites. Starve them of the blue pound.

01 Aug 2018 13:26:15
Great post Gers09, thanks.

31 Jul 2018 16:01:35
Hearing Aberdeen are planning some sort of memorial for Neil Cooper on Sunday I hope our fans remember he played for us also and observe it respectfully.

31 Jul 2018 16:05:24
Hopefully the man gets the respect he deserves from both sets of fans.

31 Jul 2018 18:22:11
If anyone chooses to spoil such a memorial they are no Rangers fan.

31 Jul 2018 22:02:56
True though weather he played for us or not it should be observed, even if the player was a Celtic player and lifelong fan of Celtic at the end of the day it’s bigger than football and imagine being the players family who is attending the match and seeing adults booing your husband or dad or whatever, who cares if he played for us or not give any player who passed away some respect they made it further in the game than wee did and we’re doing a job at the end of the day, and booing dead players should not be the rangers way.

01 Aug 2018 12:06:30
Well said mate.

31 Jul 2018 14:19:26
Home leg vs Osijek on Thursday confirmed on Premier Sports 1, 7.45pm.

31 Jul 2018 15:12:20
It says the Hibs game on Thursday Premier Sports Virgin Media.

31 Jul 2018 15:33:41
The hibs game is on premier sports 2 with the rangers game on premier sports.

31 Jul 2018 16:56:01
Virgin has hibs prem sport smell. tic 3 sport or prem 2 as they call it sheep burnley on btsport.

01 Aug 2018 13:25:16
Gram, Cheers for the info was resigned to looking for a feed on internet. See they've bumped Hibs of the main channel. Hope to God we get a result, they will be no push overs. I think the Croats are confident they will come and out play us, however if the gaffer can fire the team up and we come out, guns blazing with 50,000 bears lifting the roof, I hope their kit man is good at getting rid of skid marks.

31 Jul 2018 12:13:03
Hi Bears. Hoping we win on Thursday and get through which would be great progress after last year's Europa League farce under Pedro! Any thoughts on the team that should play against the sheep on Sunday, assuming everyone is fit apart from maybe Rossiter and Dorrans? I'd like so see Jack in there, especially on his old stomping ground. I'm already thinking it is a must win match.

31 Jul 2018 12:39:37
What is there to disagree about already for goodness sake!?

31 Jul 2018 13:08:15
how is it a must win?

31 Jul 2018 13:11:26
Hi doiger, I’ve noticed recently on this site that no mater what is posted there is always two disagrees lodged very quickly. This seems to happen on virtually every post, which makes me believe there are two pretty sad (and obviously secretly obsessively in love with rangers) Celtic fans who spend their entire day waiting for someone to post in here just so they can be the first to hit the disagree button. Basically you can just always ignore the first two disagrees.

31 Jul 2018 13:16:03
I don’t think many would agree that it’s a must win match. Sure, we want to win but the season isn’t bust if we don’t.

31 Jul 2018 13:44:16
Agreed, someone at the weekend posted here asking for the score v Wigan. I posted 3-0 (cause that's what the score was) and people still disagreed with it. How can people disagree with a fact!

31 Jul 2018 14:02:02
I think it is a must win, we need a good start to the season and to lose on Sunday against a team that pipped us for second would be an incredibly bad start. Self doubt will creep in, the pressure will build on the management team instantly and everyone will lose that feel good factor. We need a solid performance.

31 Jul 2018 14:15:46
Hi DOIGER

Team to start Thursday and Sunday

McGregor

Tav
Katic
Goldson
Flannigan

Coulibaly
Jack
Windass

Candias
Morelos
Kent

What do you think doiger? What’s your team?

31 Jul 2018 14:18:41
It’s Bhampot lurking in the shadows.

31 Jul 2018 14:21:03
I disagreed because I don’t want Jack to start, what’s the problem with that?

31 Jul 2018 14:36:54
Bigandy every game we play is a must win. Unless you think we shouldn't be winning at all?!

31 Jul 2018 15:17:10
Draw would do but I catch your drift.

31 Jul 2018 15:49:57
Doiger, confess that I like your posts along with jyf but the reality is that there are disagree dragons at large. I could post that the sky ia blue and get a dozen disagrees. I get a ton and who cares? Keep up the posts though I do doubt you're unending support of Hardie! You're usually spot on.

31 Jul 2018 16:37:18
Shagger

Tav
Goldson
Katic
Flanagan

Coulibaly
Jack

Arfield (Docherty)

Candeias (kent)
Morelos
Middleton (Windass)

That would be my team with subs for thursday and sunday. Think its strong at the back (obviously haha) . Hard working in the middle with sufficient threat going forward and dangerous at the front especially with alfredo scoring 3 goals in 5 games this pre season/ europe.

31 Jul 2018 18:25:19
Middleton might start v Aberdeen, don't see him starting on Thursday after a full 90mins on Sunday.

31 Jul 2018 19:07:01
Team for Thur:

Greegs

Tav
Katic
Goldson
Flannigan

Coulibaly
Jack
Arfield

Murphy
Morelos
Kent

With Middleton, Windass, Ejaria and Candy to come in for Sunday depending on injury etc.

01 Aug 2018 13:22:42
For us every game is must win we shouldn't settle for anything less!

01 Aug 2018 13:27:26
I expect Thursday could be tricky and to be honest believe we rode our luck to get a superb result away. Think vital that Candelas plays to double up and support Tav as they have definite threat down the left.

Mac
Tab
Goldson
Katic
Flan
Candeias
Jack
Coulibaly
Murphy
Windass
Morelas.

31 Jul 2018 10:38:55
According to my pal a big Millwall fan the club are now resigned to losing Jake Cooper in this window and actively seeking a replacement.

31 Jul 2018 17:24:34
McGregor

Tav
Katic
Goldson
Flannigan

Coulibaly
Arfield
Ejaria

Candieas
Morelos
Murphy.

31 Jul 2018 18:12:27
Murphy is gash! He is good technically but has no pace, constantly makes the wrong decision and can’t cross. He is a decent sub that is all!

31 Jul 2018 20:21:13
Wouldn’t play either Candeias or Murphy. Both not goodbye enough. Really surprised we signed Murphy he was truly awful when it mattered last season. A player with no heart for a battle.

01 Aug 2018 05:59:00
McGregor

Tav
Katic
Goldson
Flannigan

Coulibaly
Jack
Ejaria

Candieas
Morelos
Murphy.

31 Jul 2018 10:32:11
Just on to say that if Wallace goes then it's a real shame. The guy deserves to get that winners medal around his neck and be a unique ranger. He's one of our own and Gerrard may just be jumping the gun with him if he's to be chopped. Behind you mate.

31 Jul 2018 10:57:15
G Unit, Gerrard has said publicly on two occasions that he wants a fit Le Wallace somewhere in the squad, also called him a fantastic player.

However, he is actually taking legal action against the club, which I have no real issue with btw - he's within his rights. But I think his time at Rangers is done.

31 Jul 2018 12:07:01
Wow it would be amazing getting cooper.

31 Jul 2018 14:07:54
I don't know Wallace personally and no one knows exactly what happened that day for all we know Wallace could have been bang out of order but until someone speaks publicly it will just be speculation. I'd like to see him back in our team in some capacity due to his service and commitment to our club but that doesn't give you free reign to do or say as you please, if indeed anything of the sort occurred.

31 Jul 2018 15:30:52
Looking for a left sided centre half. Dare I say converting an ageing full back into a centre half may be the answer?

01 Aug 2018 13:20:36
Know that bud. Referring to the potential swap with Lafferty.

31 Jul 2018 09:54:43
Strange that we let a player go for £250k but insist on a sell on clause. The club really does work in some odd ways.

31 Jul 2018 10:07:27
Has the club stated there is a sell on clause regarding Waghorn or is this paper talk?

31 Jul 2018 11:31:39
I read there was NO sell on clause, that's also being reported elsewhere but we are all guessing.

31 Jul 2018 13:06:12
I don't think that's strange at all Cuillin72. Makes perfect sense in fact. We didn't fancy him and wanted him off the books. Let him go for next to nothing but just incase he does well elsewhere we added a sell on clause.

31 Jul 2018 08:29:49
Thursdays game now on premier sports. Not sure if anyone has posted already.

31 Jul 2018 07:54:33
Still want club to clarify situation with retail deal, would be great to say go away mike, keep saying we need this monkey off our back! Its more than embarrassing now.

31 Jul 2018 08:28:45
Think it’s just the road we need to go down to achieve that and get rid of his strangle hold . 7 p for every strip sold. a deal sanctioned by his own muppet. It was always going to be tough to get out but dave managed it. We are getting there.

31 Jul 2018 08:32:06
The club are probably fearful that if they try and say anything about the deal, then the fat man will have them back in court.

31 Jul 2018 08:35:04
Really need the club to clarify the situation with SD but I doubt they will be able to reveal any details as that’s how Ashley does business.

Can’t believe we paid him £3m and left this clause in. The board do a lot that is good but keep making mistakes that make them and the club unbelievably stupid.

31 Jul 2018 09:02:09
I’d be looking for new club solicitors because the 1s they have now are clowns. Anybody with any ounce of sense would of knew we couldn’t win this case. It’s was part of the termination deal that sports direct would have the opportunity to match any deal jd are any other retailer made. So just a complete waste of half a million we probably could of got Lafferty with it.

31 Jul 2018 09:23:15
Maybe it’s a road we had to go down? How do we Kn otherwise. Our people are not completely stupid even although it may appear that way at the on sought . We nanagedvto get rid of the fat man and his cronies from the board room and that was mega . maybe allbthis is still a part to that. His hold over us is getting weaker by the day . At one tine he had all our assets including our badge. what does he have now. 30% of a sale of a strip as opposed to what he had 99.4% I would say that’s progress and DK has got to do what he has to achieve.

31 Jul 2018 09:50:36
If sd have the opportunity to match any new deal rangers make with another retailer then why don't rangers just say SORRY MICK BEEN THERE BEEN DONE ONCE NEVER AGAIN were going with who ever it is.

31 Jul 2018 10:07:37
As that's not the way it's worded. It's not even cleverly worded so don't know how our side missed it said on here as soon as I saw agreevent we'd be buying from Ashley. He matched any offer kit deal was always going to be his.

31 Jul 2018 10:09:07
@Tryanikian because if SD match the deal then they legally must be awarded the contract.

31 Jul 2018 13:18:05
As I say maybe that was part and parcel of his pay off to get him out board room so we could move on
I would imagine it was as he seemed to go very easily at the time.

31 Jul 2018 14:24:12
Let the fat man continually take us to court. It's erroneous, costing him money, costing us hee haw. Plus it continually makes him look a fool. Let's see.

31 Jul 2018 15:39:21
How does it cost him money. he's won costs again over 1/ 2 million quid down the pan.

31 Jul 2018 15:52:40
From what i've read, Ashley gets a chance to match any deal and if so, he will be awarded the contract, however, due to privacy issues, his motion to view other offers has been thrown out so he'll need to make his offer essentially blind. personally doubt he'll offer anything close to what is necessary and that'll be the end of it. Only sticking point is no time scale has been set for him to make his offer so we're still in limbo a bit. Keep your powder dry bears. The board has got this.

31 Jul 2018 16:12:33
Good post ducca. Very informative compared to the Lynch the board mentality.

31 Jul 2018 18:05:32
Well said Ducca,

31 Jul 2018 19:13:31
The fact he gets to match best offer will mean he has to be shown best offer. Or what's to stop rangers saying jd are offering 80p in the pound. He won't just be expected to believe whatever Dave King tells him that's not the way business works.

31 Jul 2018 21:37:31
You are not allowed to see a house for sale offer so I imagine it wouldn’t be that strange.

31 Jul 2018 23:11:08
The wording of "match best offer" is the clue mols goals. They're hardly getting a chance to match offer if they don't know what it is.

31 Jul 2018 06:25:35
Mitrovic to Fulham 22mill waggy derby 8mill is crazy stuff. Dwight Gayle unsettled at Newcastle enquire about him onloan would hammer them in up here.

31 Jul 2018 07:53:37
Waghorn off to Middlesbrough for 7million according to this mornings newspaper.

31 Jul 2018 07:55:55
M8 we couldn’t afford to pay half his wages. The noise is he’s of to West Brom. Cracking player thou and he would score for fun you are right 100%.

31 Jul 2018 08:04:37
Hes not going to west brom and not on anynore than what Alves was on last season. doubt Ashley would let him come to us though.

31 Jul 2018 10:11:27
Paul he’s on at least 50k a week, so he’s on more than double what Alves was actually.

31 Jul 2018 14:33:09
Lumie am afraid you are wrong mate. he's not on near that at Newcastle. That includes goal bonus. I know the guy mate always speaks highly or gers.

31 Jul 2018 14:39:00
Just think talk of defoe etc onloan it would be worth equiring aboit him onloan as i know be may be open to it. Obv we couldn't afford to buy him as sure Leeds were in for him last Jan for 18mill.

31 Jul 2018 06:25:48
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 31st July 2018
