drop whittaker and give broadfoot his chance at rb? believable / unbelievable i know what id do with him. cheers ed.

Do me a favour m8 edu lookd a better rb the night than they 2 clowns an edu's f***en pants

100% whittaker not only blew it in both games he was in yesterdays record spouting crap like commons. FOOL. broadfoot used to doo well at rb he could handle mcgeady give him a chance ffs.

03 Aug 2011 23:24:34
While Sally needs to accept reponsibility for tonights result, the majority of the blame must go to Whyte who didn't deliver most of the players targeted

Totally agree

Think you might want to take a look at whittaker. sold the jerseys in first round sold the jerseys in second round.

I hope the rest of the lads tell whittaker exactly what they think of him i know i would. fing idiot what did he expect the ref to do ?

03 Aug 2011 23:21:18
lads i think the ref was an absolute nutter tonight you could easily make a video of all his mistakes the hand ball against papac that hit his shoulder was the last straw. so my point is i am concerned about how many cards we picked up tonight no whittaker for next game (his own stupid fault) mcculoch edu papac jelavic naismith booked its not a verry good start.

You said it.

I think there were more bookings. not a good start at all but gers will be in euroupe after christmas. they looked a lot better 2n.

now that the goodwillie farce is over, how much will be offered to motherwell for the 1 million pound rated jamie murphy?what u think peepil?

Probably £200000-

£60 in 4 installments

100.000

100 pounds and a tika masala

As many gingey bottles as they can carry

03 Aug 2011 22:58:20
All this talk of Mccoist leaving is ridiculous, if he gets the boot I will be the first one outside ibrox complaining to the idiot they call whyte, this man needs to get a grip The men we need to be looking at leaving the club are bougherra and whittaker.

As far as im concerned bougherra is a liability and whittaker is never worth 25,000 a week, throwing a tantrum and getting sent off = no respect for the jersey

Whittaker is NO WAY NEAR worth 25000 a week. All hes done in his time at Ibrox is score a good goal against Sporting Lisbon He is a liability at defending... I personally think hes more a right midfielder... however hes only an average one of them too as he looks clumsy most of the times he dribbles the ball Offer him to Bursaspor for 1 million and get him offf the wage bill

03 Aug 2011 22:55:10
Wasnt that long ago we lost to kaunas, do not under estimate teams. Swedish football is not far off the standard of the spl. Especially when they are well into their season. we were not asking for walter to get booted. Rangers have no money.....

Look for young signings for the future and have patience. Rys murphy will sign this week when he comes back. bartley is going on loan to a championship club.

For ally to be a success as boss need to get rid of Steven liberty taker ..can't believe we gave him 5yr contact
Still in Europe tho positive thinking fellow bears:)

Celtic lost 2-0 to Swansea- So we have got something to laugh about

Celtic lost a meaningless friendly 2 0 against a premiership side. We got put out the Champs league and lost at least 10 million. I wont be celebrating too hard.


Bobby

You mean the premiership team swansea?.

Yeah...the Premiership team Swansea. They are called a Premiership team as they are in the Premiership Just like Rangers are called a Champions League tea.....no hang on

03 Aug 2011 22:39:00
look if we get the players in there is no reason why we cant go for a long run in the europa league, get to the semis and its worth about 9-10M beaten finalists 20M and you never know we could win it.

Its not the biggest competition to be in. Ally went through this as a player at rangers he will get a rought time as a manager. He will provail>

I am not saying we will win it I am just saying it could be the kick up the arse we needed.

Get behind and support ur manager so called supporters

Ha ha in your dreams

Cloud cuckoo land , open your eyes

No you get less for winning europa leauge than last 16 of champs lge

03 Aug 2011 22:36:45
Why oh why could I not have won the Euromillions the other week? I'd have given Rangers £10-£20m solely for bringing in new players, provided I could have a box at Ibrox for life, and a say in how that money is spent Come on Whyte - after that display tonight, buck up your ideas and start spending...All the Ally haters out there, give him a chance, he's still playing with Walter's has-beens and a few chancers from abroad.

03 Aug 2011 22:36:16
Instead of posting s**tty rumours about ally being replaced and falling out with whyte start getting behind everyone in the club and a mean everyone coz we a all the club Yeah weve had a bad start but this is getting beyond a joke we are 2 weeks in a season a people not fans want the gaffer removed The man is a legend and people want to treat them this wayb take a hard look at yourselves

03 Aug 2011 22:27:12
This is not a rumour Ed. . This is a FACT Ally McCoist is an Absolute LEGEND I cant believe people on here suggesting he should be sacked Ally McCoist ( RANGERS all time top goal scorer 355 goals, 9 league titles, scottish cup medal, 9 league cup medals, European golden boot season 92 & 93) The man is only 4 games into his management Get a grip people Bougherra and especially Whittaker let us down tonight The boys basically played well but 9 men, away from home and No fans to cheer us on was a big ask ( Do the Rangers fans that let the club down with there sectarian nonsense have anything to blame for tonight's result? probably not PFT ) Some fans should look up supporter in the dictionary - adherently back, support, follow their club. ... is everyone entitled to an opinion if we get this sort of reaction Lets get this straight Ally will be judged by the quality of the player he brings in (not how quickly he brings in) at the end of the transfer window and by how well he has done at the end of this season Ally is a F**king legend so get behind the man and his team WATP

U took the words out my mouth mate - well said - coisty is a f**k'n legend and we should all support him, the man sweat blood for rangers and he will be a success, whyte didn't back him enuf prior to this game and it's bit him on the arse, he needs to invest to secure the title this season and get the automatic CL place, that is THE most important thing now, a run in the Europa can be lucrative also.

Final note - all set the team up great and we played great, whitty and Bougy let him down badly and I hope coisty throws the book at the c**ts show them who's boss

What show him a picture of Billy Davies or Jim Jeffries?

03 Aug 2011 22:21:59
Does Craig whyte really know anything about football......he may have plenty cash but he knows nothing about buying players etc... Guy is a joke...

The only way to make us gers fans happy is to spend sum good money on quality players...WOR U THINK ED

Jambo WATP {Ed047's Note - Did David Murray know anything? It could be worse, look at Hearts

03 Aug 2011 22:20:53
2 games in Europe and 2 major lapses from Whittaker. Sound familiar. How many Champions League matches has he lost us.
Don't get me wrong I like Whittaker as a footballer, but he is not good enough to play right back in Europe, too many mistakes in positioning, concentration and rushes of blood are costing Rangers crucial goals and 11 men on the pitch.
For the SPL Whittaker is fine. For Europe Broadfoot has proven himself a better defender, and Walter always saw that as the key to progressing in Europe - a strong defence.

03 Aug 2011 22:18:16
Whittaker is now officially the worst player that we have employed for years.forget sebo forget kerkar and forget capucho this f*ckwit should be sent away with that imposter bough era, what do you think bears. Airdrie bear

Mr edu wins that title hands down im afraid

03 Aug 2011 22:15:03
you all need to get a grip with the sack ally sh*t. rome wasnt built in a day the problem is WHYTE not funding us properly..

Dont use mccoist as a scapegoat for him being a tight b****rd

Tbh i think we should sign "get your cheque book out" or "show us the money" and show whyte how we feel?

I for one will not be abusing Ally, Whyte on the other hand may have the clubs best interest at heart but he cant just keep coming out with all of these false promises, hes letting himself, the club but US all down. Not on

03 Aug 2011 22:13:23
Think it's about time Craig Whyte stood up and told us bears what his real plans for Rangers are. All this fannying about in the transfer market is making us a laughing stock. Get something done now Mr Whyte, no more stupid bids WATP

03 Aug 2011 22:09:03
watch for transfers going through now he, s got 2 list, s of player, s bently coming on loan bartley and 2 spl players heard it here first {Ed047's Note - eh?

03 Aug 2011 22:08:51
f*** all u so called rangers fans on here yes ok things r not looking to good jst now but no matter what happens i will always stick by my team so stop all the negative post and get behind our team {Ed047's Note - Keyword - SUPPORTER

03 Aug 2011 22:07:25
Whittadick should not be on anywhere near 25,000 a week the guy can't defend and thinks he's the next maicon going forward when he is just a very bad player

Totally agree mediocre player at best and a big factor on elimination over 2 legs

03 Aug 2011 21:58:30
Is there any players left to bid for in our price range ( a couple of irn bru bottles and a signed photo of Ally). We have been told we have money, we will always have money if you don't spend it. Frustrations aside, this is not the time to be negative, we have to hope that after tonight Mr Whyte will sit down with Ally and really get things moving on the player front (and if the money is only generated from the sale of Boughy, then so be it). Ally now knows what is needed, and with the right support he will get it. 4 in a row, don't count us out just yet...

03 Aug 2011 21:57:01
No reason to be critical of Rangers tonight we played well and showed the team spirit of when we are champions 3 times in a row. I'm so glad we're getting £3mil for Bougherra and Whittaker is shocking in Europe. The team didn't let us down, Whittaker & Bougherra did. Europa here we come.

03 Aug 2011 21:54:36
The blame has got to lie with the players chaps, not whyte or ally. If these guys can't find the motivation to beat Malmo then you've no chance unless we go and buy another 8 or so players.

One thing gers need is competition, we can't continue with edu Whittaker etc having poor games but being rewarded by playing in the next match they need dropped. Similarly the fringe players need to know that if they try in training then they will get a run in the team. For guys like healy and Wylde what's the point of showing up when the same diddies retain their place.

Above all else we need to stay behind the club, panic suggestions for new board and management at this stage are ridiculous give them time. Dr D

03 Aug 2011 21:51:08
I think yous are all over reacting it wasnt Ally fault that we didnt win was the players as in Steven W right now his forms dredfull he really needs to get the finger out
But he wil get his form back soo im sure of that

Enyways its far to early to be talking about changing managers yous are all staryting to sound like the English they way they go on down there hes only lost one match pft come on get a grip

03 Aug 2011 21:47:16
All might not be lost chick young has just said on the radio that the guy that was sent of for malmo may not have been eligable to play.Heres hoping could someone try and find out more {Ed047's Note - Chick Young said that. Thank God, we're safe!!

03 Aug 2011 21:39:35
Ally mccoist is a club legend and an assistant manager at best but he is no manager - hasnt got a clue

03 Aug 2011 21:38:45
Blackburn have confirmed that Scotland international David Goodwillie has joined the club on a four-year deal.

The striker moves to Ewood Park from Dundee United for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £2million.
another 1 bites the DUST {Ed047's Note - Goodbye DG. Hello sanity

03 Aug 2011 21:37:33
Not think its funny how Rangers exit Europe's big stage and all of a sudden the Goodwille deal is concluded? {Ed047's Note - aye, he'll get loads of Euro football at Blackburn. NOT

03 Aug 2011 21:36:49
Right Bears. Now is now the time to criticise McCoist, he is blue to the bone and deserves our backing. He's identified the players he wanted but it's not his fault the owner isn't providing the backing he was promised. The blame for this is at Craig Whyte's door and nobody else. Goodwillie is gone, let that be a lesson learned and make sure we don't make the same mistake with Verhoek and Juhasz. We need them, Ally needs them, the players need them, now Step Up and Pay Mr Whyte. Show us what you're made of.

Been saying this for weeks now when the owner invests more on the ground than the team warning bells must start to ring as far as am concerned I will be there to support my team but he can stick his money grabbing kiosks up his RRRRS

03 Aug 2011 21:35:53
i cant bileve some people on here think whittaker should go fair enough he has had a couple of bad games but just think of the player he has been for us over the last couple of seasons he has been crackin same with boughy but i think he will be going soon any way but he has bees class aswell over his time with us

and as for avery1 blaiming ally he is a club LEGEND dont blame him its whyte thats to blame we need funds that clearly arnt there i mean the 3 million he is getting for boughy he is in profit with Ortiz Wallace and Goian if any1 should go its whyte

03 Aug 2011 21:34:34
you lot are a joke ally will stay do you not remember that sir walter lost to kaunas and we went on to win 3 in a row. give ally a break. and so what if goodwillie went to blackburn what a team NOT its his loss. we are the champs i think you lot forget that. and we do have the best striker in the league alread big jelavic so come on get a grip and cheer on the teddy bears {Ed047's Note - that's more like it

03 Aug 2011 21:34:05
dont blame allythe board have been very nieve in there transfer dealings ie 300000 for wallace ally needs back up not a slagging over to you mr tight whyte

03 Aug 2011 21:33:42
2 men sent off - not Allys Fault

These 2 x games have come too soon for us. We created enough chances in both games to win the matches.

Super Ally has the rangers in his vains, he knows what it is like to play for the club and now manage the club.

We are a couple of signings away from a good team.

Winger (Templeton or Driver) and a Centre Half (Cuellor, Bartley or Wilson)

Healy is a good enough striker for SPL and I think if we have James Beatie on our books give him a chance too

03 Aug 2011 21:45:59
whittaker needs a boot up the erse, after the first game and comments about redeeming himself to do that is a fud and im a hibby but like to see scot
teams do well

03 Aug 2011 21:30:54
Think lot of you fans need to watch the game again as up until Whittaker got sent of we were playing good closing down there defenders in sync in there own box it was brilliant. Never seen rangers play like that. but once you go down a player that tactic goes out the window so plenty positives for me the night.

Super ally I trust {Ed047's Note - agreed. I enjoyed watching Rangers tonight until the ref spoiled it. They got a corner that wasn't a corner. When we cleared the corner a malmo player committed a foul, the ref played on and they scored. You cannot legislate for that

I agree 100% with this guy and the ed. The ref cost us tonight. I wasn't a dirty game but we still should have won with the chances we created over both games.

Lets face it the 1st leg was the f***en disaster ( that person wittaker annoys me rite enough )

Welcome to our world lol {Ed047's Note - careful, I nearly smiled

03 Aug 2011 21:29:09
TO ALL YOU IDIOTS BLAMIMING MCCOIST, ITS ALL WHYTES FAULT ...HE IS NOT PARTING WITH FUNDS FOR NEW PLAYERS

YOUR ALL IDIOTS

Ur an idiot Whyte has bought 4 players so far and there is still 4 weeks of the window left , if anyone's to blame it's that liability Whittaker Whyte and McCoist will come good , we could do without morons like you at this time

Fuk off m8 we still had the players that should have been able to hump malmo aye malmo mate yoor the fukin idiot if you think goin out to this mob is acceptable , turn it up pal , some eh our player spend more on a shirt than a did for ma season tkt , so ally and players deserve criticism for a poor job over 2 legs , an by the way dont forget yer callin some top fans idiots , guys who have put well earnd cash intae the club , just remember we're the heart eh the club , so keep yer "YOUR ALL IDIOTS" statements tae yerself

03 Aug 2011 21:17:22
lets lay of ali guys.If we all think we realy had the class on the bench to be creative enough to change the game we are kidding our selves. The team is not strong enough, yes we have a few but we need 11 of them not half a dozen, 2 dicks and 3 pub team players You Have 3 weeks and a few days to find quality.

WE UNDER ESTIMATED MALMO AS USUAL.

03 Aug 2011 21:12:48
please dont discount this but what about jim jeffries for the managers job. hes a very good football manager. he would get the best out of our players like smith did. mcoist much as i love him is too pally with the players. the lack of discipline on the pitch tonight was a joke. several players could have gone off. those guys would not have behaved in that way with smith. ive always regarded whit as a player who gets up and walks away but not tonight. why? answer. he is up his own arse. never been good enough for us {Ed047's Note - I wanted to delete this because it's unfair on our manager who has 4 competitive games under his belt, but I let you have your say as it includes other issues. Please don't back this guy's comment about Jefferies because I will delete the whole topic

You have got to be joking, never seen such boring football, if mccoist goes and i hope he wont get billy davis in, at least his teams play football. while i am on why not play ortiz on the right where he should be

We can't and won't get rid of ally after 4 games. Yeah the railed have not been great. He has been let down badly tonight by two players that think they are world class when actually they are no more than mediocre. The chairman has let him down a bit too. We need players and ally has targets but the chairman has been penny pinching and letting our targets go elsewhere. We need to get behind our team. WATP

Hi Ed - what was wrong with the Poster's comment about Jim Jeffries ? JJ has forgot more about football management than McCoist will ever know . {Ed047's Note - McCoist is our manager, support him. What is wrong is that OUR manager has just 4 competitive games under his belt and had we had a stronger ref tonight, McCoist would have been the best manager in Britain according to you and your 'sack McCoist crew. If at the end of the season results show he's not up to it, then sack him. getting another manager to babysit him is as good as saying, Ally you're crap. Incidentally, if i had to choose another, it wouldn't be Jefferies. In all his years at Hearts (twice) and killie, I'd never heard him once praise Rangers after we humped his team.

Can't believe the negative comments about one of our legends, our manager has only had a handful of games in charge, give him time and get behind the team, i'm sorry to say this but a lot of the comments by our so called fans are disgusting me, i like this site but I wish the twelve year old halfwits would keep their comments to themselves, and yes before someone jumps down my throat about it's your opinion etc, I am merely giving mine.

Andy {Ed047's Note - as I give mine. You took the words out of my mouth

03 Aug 2011 20:46:52
Well it's all done now we were beaten yes, but not by the better team Uefa want no bigotry in football, I argee it cheapens our glorious club(family)and we are not the only club to suffer this blight. But i could mute the tv I could not mute the endless faining of fouls and injuries of the malmo squad it was stomach turning but yet the refs love it and uefa turn a blind eye to i hhhmm? But the fact is recent form under Walter smith showed we can be a force against the best not the dregs or deluded teams of Europe. Time will tell with whyte and ally but I feel If we had made our bid for goodwillie earlier or one million for miller when he showed last season what he can do in a good team then my fellow bears would not be kicking the cat and bemoaning poor referees decisions but I'm not the owner or the manager just some times I wish the will of the common fan could be whispered to both.. Rant over lol.

03 Aug 2011 21:18:33
Patience has now worn out.
If ever there was a club owner guilty of Miss management Whyte is your man.
This fixture has been known for months now and certain persons have sat on their hands and been ineffective.
The desiory bids for players is embarrassing for the name of our club and no one is taking ownership of this problem.
Whether they think a certain player is worth it or not is irrelevant. If the manager wants him get him with no fecking about.
Funny how transfer figures get thrown about when the season tickets are due.
Can't believe we're in the same position again following Kanus.
How could this be allowed to happen, if whoever is attempting to broker these deals needs replacing, i now think the 600k for Bain is reasonable.
I will continue to support my team but don't like being treated like a mug and that is what the powers that be are doing to the support just now, the next few weeks are now make or break for the owner and manager as far as i'm concerned.
I want to know who is going to stear this rudderless ship.

Couldn't agree more this is not what Glasgow Rangers are about. Sort it out.

THINK THE LAST BOARD NEW SOMETHING WE DONT?

03 Aug 2011 21:21:57
Wish everybody but stop whineing and just get behind Ally and the team...aye were out of the CL, big deal its only a bonus anyway, the SPL is always number 1..so lets stop being t**ts and blaming Ally or Whyte and start having a look at the players that underperformed over both games..Mr 25K a week Whittaker hasnt kicked a ball since the ink dried on his contract and Bougherras heart left Glasgow 18 months ago..its time to get together and give Ally and the boys our 100% backing because anything else is not wanted...follow follow folks, we will be a stronger team for this..

Blueboy

Well said blueboy, 100% agree

Andy

The reason the SPL in number one is because without champions league qualification and the money that goes with it, sets us back 1-2 years of finance for new players and the like.
Get your head out of the sand as this is a very big deal, just ask the boardroom.

03 Aug 2011 21:07:09
Actually ashamed to see all the negitivity on here its because of people like use rangers have a black mark against its name. 1st ally mccoist needs time to get the players he wants( weather whytes deals are done properly or not) 2nd hes had 4 games in charge granted it could have been better wee played good tonight till that a**ehole got himself sent off. and lastly have a look at people like sir alex ferguson they wanted him out and look what happend there, by no means am a comparin mccoist to fergie but behave yourself if you dont have anything positive to say go and hang yourselfs.

McCoist will never be no alex ferguson {Ed047's Note - Can you repeat that? My English tutor advises you may have meant McCoist will never be an Alex Ferguson. Very true. He'll always be Ally Mccoist

Get steve whittaker to f*ck he is useless and always has been cant belive how much he is on each week.

Time to get the players he needs, TIME, get real...
Time is not something we have (unless its time to get put out of europe, and time to fall down the league),
It's not as if we couldn't have had the player required (a few thousand more would have got Miller, a few thousand more would have got Goodwillie), but that would have ment Mr Whyte having to dip into the millions that he promissed Ally to build the team (and we all know it doesn't exist), the fault is not with Ally (YET), but if this continues as it is then it may soon. Fans have a right to express their anger about what is happening at their club, for they have been there long before the forementioned names and will still be there after they have moved on. WE are the ones who own the club (in our hearts, and on our sleeves), Mr Whyte is just paying the rent for a few years. {Ed025's Note - give ally a break...he inherited a poor squad, and is not being given the backing to improve it....rome was not built in 4 weeks...and all that..

03 Aug 2011 21:05:32
Ed, 99 o/o of the posts tonight are you guessed it from Celtic fans. We looked good tonight. Get behind your team. We can take a good few positives out the game. In Ally We Trust. WATP

03 Aug 2011 20:57:57
Just like to say, for people who are sticking up for craig whyte, he may of paid rangers outta debt but with him paying that money he got himself a massive football club for a bargain its time he paid up for players who deserve to play for the club, if him and his board got on the ball earlier , rangers would have decent team

Who said that Craig Whyte isn't paying up?? It's maybe McCoist no wanting to pay or Gordon Smith not will to meet demands. Whyte came in and said there was money to spend, we are far too slow at dealing

He aint paid the debt mate..its only been moved, instead of rangers being in debt the new owner or rangers is in debt..very strange considering hes a billionaire, multi millionaire, millionaire or venture capitalists...who knows what he is, one things for sure, he aint got serious cash.

When will people understand that Craig Whyte has not taken Rangers out of debt. The debt has been transferred to him. Rangers now owe him £18million and if you read the circular he sent out to shareholders he makes it crystal clear that if the tax case goes against Rangers he would consider putting Rangers into administration so that he could get his £18m back from the sale of Rangers assets.

03 Aug 2011 20:54:37
Too Many rumours online about whyte inheriting ally and not wanting him, not saying it's true but after the s**te in the transfer Market I'm beginning to wonder .

03 Aug 2011 20:52:34
what a f***ing disgrace why the f*** is ally mccoist trying to be a walter smith when the f*** did ally make his first sub when we were drawing 1-1 that sub should have been brought on with 20 minutes to go wylde on for ortiz and healy on for jelavic what a f***ing joke

03 Aug 2011 21:00:11
Poor, pathetic, shambles, joke. Just some of the words being used to describe our beloved club at the moment....and i agree We need a bigger squad for starters. The managers tactics have been unbelievably poor in every game. As for whats going on higher up in Ibrox is just not acceptable for a club of Rangers stature. The only positive thing to happen has been a 2-0 result at St Johnstone which speakes for itself. This is not what we had in mind for a new era at Rangers.

03 Aug 2011 20:35:36
I thought we were excellent tonight by far the better team with 10 men for the majority of the game but with 9 for the remainder was what finished us in the end. Just to clear this up are we definitely going in to Europa league qualifiers?

Excellent? Are you kidding? We were shocking Against a team of Malmos calibre and you think we were excellent. Shameful {Ed047's Note - unfair. Malmo are not a great team but they're not bad AND they are well into their season. That counts for a lot

03 Aug 2011 20:34:08
I hope Mr Whyte was seriously watching that tonight.
Maybe if your wallet wasn't as tight as a ducks arse we could have brought in the players required to ensure this embarrassment was avoided.
Now you either stump up the necessary funds or go and take yourself elsewhere.
We are a massive club and as fans we deserve far better.

Derek
A very dissapointed bear

WATP

03 Aug 2011 20:30:03
rangers played well tonight .. with only there selves to blame.. cant see us signing ony decent players now.. what do us think ? . and has goodwillie signed for BR yet ? do u know any thing ed ? {Ed047's Note - only Sky Sports believing he signed

Check BB site, he HAS signed as of 9.15 tonight {Ed047's Note - no more GW posts please

03 Aug 2011 20:27:50
Whittaker deserved to be sent off and bougy the same. They have made poor allys job so hard. what a pair of clowns. What next fellow gers . I dread to think

03 Aug 2011 20:45:19
Ally seems to have a problem with wylde a blind man could see we could have done with pace as the game opened up.

03 Aug 2011 20:40:48
Goodwillie deal is not done yet Source BBC radio Scotland just now there Stalled due to legal reasons but expected to go through

03 Aug 2011 20:38:48
jim jefferies may have rangers job by chiristmas if not before lol lmao pmsfl

Mc coist has to be given a warchest, this fannying about has to stop. if you feel the player is worth a punt and is integral to your setup then pay the money. Ultimately any players value is only on resale, some you win and some you lose. We have been so naive and watch this space, now any future targets will suddenly cost the same as Messi.

03 Aug 2011 20:22:29
Well fellow Bears this was always going to happen. Whittaker let the team down tonight, but the blame for this falls solely at the feet of the new owner. At this moment in time you've turned us into a complete laughing stock. Time to put up or shut up.

Pi$$ed Off

03 Aug 2011 20:21:08
We simpy arnt lookin good at the moment whity hastnt had a gd game since the new season started were slopy and and naisy upfront just dnt do it for me a liked him on the wing what we need ryt reason or none is a left winger a cm and forward and way bougy away 2 new cd a cant see carlos bk and a dnt think bartly wil be bk. And we do look to have no cash to spend a hope am wrong. and lets be truthfull if we dnt spend we dnt look to inprove. But no matter what we say or want it aint goin happen we can only sit bk and watch and hope we can do it. Whity edu mcul a wouldnt have them near the first team give others a go a would rather have us lose tryin than have then not tryin for us. with bougy leavin and say we dnt get other players in this is my team a would play.
Shagger
Ortiz papac goain wallace
Naisy davis fleck whyld
Hemmings and jelavic
But a would love us to buy the players and field a better team
Ryan/casey

What kinda team is that. ortiz at right back and hemmings u would play someone that has had a good 5 minutes against linfield haha get a grip u must be listening to much to mccoist get mccoist out now

03 Aug 2011 20:18:23
So the joys of being a Rangers fan continue. We have a RB who's never been able to defend but gets a great new deal being a complete idiot and getting sent off 20 mins in.
Bougherra flying in without thinking and again seeing red.
A chairman who lies through his teeth about having money to spend then loses out on a £12m windfall cos he doesn't understand the current team was never good enough to go through.
Then finally a manager who thinks that when you need to score with 10 mins to go that putting on only 1 striker is enough Fleck? Healy? Wylde? If we're so skint sell them if you have no intention of using them when they are desperately needed
Absolute joke and we never deserved anything from day one. Incompetent lying chairman an inexperienced manager and a squad lacking youth and quality. League title...no chance. Europa league.....no chance.

Fed up Definitely

03 Aug 2011 20:15:18
once again whittaker does something crazy, wonder if the turks still want him.

03 Aug 2011 20:14:23
Just seen on sky sports news about 5minutes ago that goodwillie has signed with Blackburn, I know we r all sick of hearing about this transfer saga but I just thot I'd let every1 know and let's put it to bed now

03 Aug 2011 20:13:30
lets face it guys. whittaker has never been good enough. broadfoot was more consistent at right back. the bla
me lies solely at whittakers feet. we were never in any bother with that team even with 10 men. wallace never did a thing wrong all night kept it simple. looks like whit believes his own press.. he s no hutton or stevens

03 Aug 2011 20:12:03
Whittaker a disgrace. Bougherra no better. Worst thing is who will want to come now? McCoist def must be under pressure now. Can't believe he was trying to bum up a win against st Johnstone as something to be proud of. The players need telling for the money they are on

03 Aug 2011 20:09:17
To sumarise the upcoming comments:
That performance was not good enough from rangers.
Lack of discipline throughout the side.
Poor desicions sub wise from mccoist.
Hurrendous reffing.
Whyte needs to cough up for a half decent player in any position bar goalkeeper who was excellent.
bougherras off will miss his character but not his play.
Were out the champions league to a pathetic swedish side who were not good and about the standard of st johnstone who we beat comfortably.
Coistys time may be running out.
And finally, Jimmy Durmaz needs mental help as he twice mistaked his shoulder for his head before falling to the floor.

03 Aug 2011 20:03:01
rangers will buy noone from anyleague very reliable source mr g white all the transfer money will now be spent on cowboy boots cheers g white you have really dun us over

03 Aug 2011 20:02:51
MCCOIST & MR WHYTE OUT NOW THEY HAVE MADE GLASGOW RANGERS INTO A LAUGHING STOCK. THEY WERE A TOTAL DISGRACE

03 Aug 2011 20:01:51
I think rangers played well, unlucky that they were. Just certain individuals once again letting the team down ie steven whittaker

03 Aug 2011 19:59:32
mccoist an absolute joke, 2 subs unused, players knackered, hasnt changed anything, signings poor, targets poor. i knew we should have got a proper manager

03 Aug 2011 19:58:44
Watched the match tonight and utterly dissapointed in Whitty and Bougie... let the team and fans down massively and more financial loss for the club.

03 Aug 2011 19:58:31
This is not a knee jerk reaction but McCoist ain't up to this job We must get a experienced manager in. Maybe Whyte has held the transfer budget (if there is what he has said there is) because McCoist might not last long and a new manager will have his own targets Whittaker must be embarrassed by demanding 20k a week and 5 year contract, at fault against Hearts, Malmo last week and tonight was just stupid

03 Aug 2011 19:58:16
its gonny b a long hard season

03 Aug 2011 20:08:38
Rumour has it 50000 of us never want to
see Bougherra at ibrox again, and as
for the other "player" what can we say?
??

03 Aug 2011 20:06:35
Honestly think Bougherra ruined his whole reputation at the club tonight if he leaves to go to quatar, feel as if whittaker is gettin a little to big for his boots as well. hope whyte finally realises we need fresh legs in and gives ally the funding to bring in the players we actually need.

03 Aug 2011 20:05:26
Goodwille has now signed for Blackburn so let's move on and get another player as we are rubbish and need more depth in the squad to make a title challenge
Come on mr whyte spend your so called money
Watp

03 Aug 2011 20:04:23
We were badly let down tonight by a handful of players. Whittaker and Bougherra are the obvious ones. Ortiz looks lost playing in that midfield and Naismith had another poor game along with McCulloch and Edu.

McCoist should also have a good hard look at himself because he fails to make subs as and when required. Wylde should have come on for Ortiz eralier in the second have and he should also have went to a back 3 at the start of the second half. Naismith should have been pushed to the right midfield with Wylde left. This would have left us plying 3 - 5 - 1. Not good enough and we have learnt nothing from the Kaunas experience of 3 years ago. Poor poor poor, by most players and coaching staff including the manager.

Billy

03 Aug 2011 19:57:23
VERY POOR. Dunkie Bear

03 Aug 2011 19:55:39
no subs , no hope , no chance , laughing stock again , doesnt matter who he signs , McCoist has shown he is nothing without walter , going to bookies website now to get bet on b4 odds shorten too much

03 Aug 2011 19:54:51
shockin lack of discipline, embarassing im afraid

03 Aug 2011 19:53:32
The fans deserve better than this

03 Aug 2011 19:49:09
Walter wud have got us through easy, mccoists no got a clue.

03 Aug 2011 19:37:13
Where is the changes ? Tactics ?, Ref is crap but he could easily have sent off Edu and Naismith, fault lies at Ally's feet , going to be a long hard season at this rate with players showing no control

Back to the old walter school there , no changes when you have to score

I AGREE NO DISCIPLINE IN THE TEAM WATSOEVER

Not at all. Mccoist couldn't do much with the bench we had. Bring on Broadfoot was the only obvious change and to be honest, i don't think he would have had any impact. Arguably, i thikn Healey could have been the man for us tonight once we conceded - bring off naismith, who'd lost his compsure - but i'm not sure if he's fit. We fought well but anyone who's played a full game of football with a man less knows how difficult it is to get that last crucial goal. I kept hoping for a repeat of Lisbon last season but it unfortunately wasn't to be. However, we fought hard and showed we were the better team for 80 minutes... unfortunately that wasn't enough.

Would all stop blaming Ally for this, we were the better team and no thanks to Bougey and Whitts we are out. Bougey knew its his last game and what he done was a disgrace, sell him straight away, 3 million is a great deal for us. Whitts is just stupid and should apoligise to all fans for what he done, please all stop slating Ally, we have never turned a result around after a deafeat at home in the first leg for 55 years, did all other managers get slated and fans wanted them out. Come on guys we are Glasgow Rangers and we do noy have a habit of getting rid of managers, give Coisty time he will come good he knows what the club is all about, whats the words, WE ARE THE PEOPLE AND WE WILL FOLLOW ON.....

What the f**k has players own discpline got to do with ally you fool. Again we have negativity amongst the fans. It's people like you who cause unrest between everyone else

03 Aug 2011 19:31:45
METHINKS BOUGHIE DONE THAT ON PURPOSE TO GET HIS TRANSFER

He was having a great game until the incident, no doubt it was frustration as an experienced CB does not challenge in the air like that... but anyone who thinks he would try to get sent off at such a crucial time if hugely, hugely mistaken.

03 Aug 2011 19:26:34
Rangers look to be throwing it away now , down to 9 men now. Whittaker was just being stupid , bougera looks like a player heading out.
Where will ally look to now?

Job centre lol

03 Aug 2011 19:00:07
if rangers dont win this tie whittaker should be driven out of this club shocking thank god we have jelavic ortiz closing down and looking quicker cmon gers lets score one more then relax and cruise through the remainder of the game fingers crossed

Agree get whittaker to f*** hes a useless b******

03 Aug 2011 18:53:21
Did anyone else geta bit of De Ja Vu when Edu hit that ball from the midfield and Jella volleyed it home....... Carbon copy during an Old Firm at Ibrox when Marvin Andrews crossed the ball from midfield to find Prso, during both games I was thinking ''oh god whats he going to do with the ball'' (Edu & Andrews) and then BAM

GET IN

Whittaker can GTF

CC

03 Aug 2011 18:49:16
How can Whittaker be sent for retaliation then that player turns around a kicks mcholloch and Neva got a card E

Clinging aat straws?

03 Aug 2011 18:37:20
Whittaker is a fkn nightmare, learn to defend and control yourself before you demamd 20 grand a week

HE DOESNT NEED TO COZ WE GAVE HIM THE CONTRACT AN I FOR 1 CANT BELIEVE IT HE WILL BE A FITBA PLAYER WHEN AM THE POPE GET RID NOW I WOULD AVE BITE THAT HAND AFF BURSASPOR FOR THE 300K THEY 1ST OFFERED

K

03 Aug 2011 18:26:23
Get whittekar to f&%k boys a disgrace,

03 Aug 2011 18:23:11
C mon the gers jelavic

03 Aug 2011 18:22:43
Whittaker what have you done? uphill now, maybe we should have let bursaspor take you after all as your ego seems to have inflated not happy

03 Aug 2011 18:19:50
5 year contract and loads a money for you to get sent off like that. FUCKIN SHAME ON YOU ma 5year old son knows better than that ya f**k*n waste a space

03 Aug 2011 18:18:53
Whittaker sent off for throwing a ball at Malmo player. Clean and utter stupidity. FFS

03 Aug 2011 18:18:44
Whittaker must go Useless waste eh space Should let him go when we had chance, tosser

03 Aug 2011 18:18:11
whittker does it again what a loada crap he is

03 Aug 2011 17:57:00
COME ON THE MIGHTY GERS

03 Aug 2011 17:53:14
One up front tonight when we need a goal? edu and mcculloch just dont work well in the same team.
ortiz playing on the right.... why dont we play wylde instead of ortiz as ortiz has still to prove himself, we all know what wylde is about already so he should start in my opinion.... so far im not convinced with the new rangers set up as a whole

03 Aug 2011 17:34:09
5 o'clock has come and gone

Kev82

03 Aug 2011 17:25:25
rangers team for tonight guys

01 McGregor
05 Papac
12 Wallace
16 Whittaker
17 Ortiz
24 Bougherra
06 McCulloch
07 Edu
08 Davis
09 Jelavic
14 Naismith

03 Aug 2011 17:21:05
It must be a 4-5-1. Naismith and Ortiz on the wings with jela up front. Can't have Davis on the right.

4-5-1 got us no where at ibrox we need to score

03 Aug 2011 17:20:23
on rangers website gion out with hamstring injury

03 Aug 2011 17:15:31
davis, 3-1 tonight. crouch rumour a load of rubbish, there would be at least 4 premiership teams chasing him and we could never in a million years compete with them. Just beacause redknapp said he liked mccoist and spoke with whyte regarding some loan players doesn't mean we would get the players who would go for a few million on loan. bentley, kranjar, crouch. all utter crap. let's be real murphy, the centre half from anderlecht and verhoek are believable, premiership players like the afore mentioned and barton are(excuse the pun) out of our league

Totally agree with you, posted myself on Saturday when by chance in Brighton asked H Rednapp if he would lend us some players and he said yes but Ally said no. Simples

03 Aug 2011 17:09:28
FFS Is there gonna be any good news to come out of Ibrox its not boding to well for tonight but in ally we trust cum on tha gers give us sumhin to be cheeree about . Lee

03 Aug 2011 16:42:05
Believe it or not I really want Rangers to win some games in Europe to help Scotlands coefficient, but NOT tonight obviously as a Celtic fan dont want gers anywhere near £15m euro money. Come and join us in Europa League and maybe we will meet in FINAL LOL Timalloy {Ed047's Note - that would be something, Rangers gubbing the Hoops in a Euro Final

What makes you think your mob will qualify ?? You have failed to do so in the last TWO seasons............ FACT lmao {Ed047's Note - :) you expected it, Timalloy, didn't you? Happy now?

You spout some pish timalloy a hope you's pumped every game yees play , so shove that friendly patter up yer arse an piss off back tae 1 eh your own s**tty forums jd

I'd reserve judgement for now william, don't want to end up like Kirk Broadfoot and end up with egg on your face. As for jd, I had a good chuckle at your internet hardman routine. Keep them coming. Dunc

03 Aug 2011 15:56:35
Why not make a move for Steed Malbranque, Sunderland want rid of him. Maybe get him pretty cheap. He can play left midfield or centre midfield. Also the are wanting to get rid of two centre backs George McCartney and Nicolas Angeleri. Maybe worth a punt, both played at international level. So maybe worth a look.

Rory

George McCartney is a left back and we aint struggling in that position ... {Ed047's Note - I thought Angeleri was heading back to Argentina - Estudiantes I think

03 Aug 2011 15:14:12
Have fun sitting on the bench and getting relegated Goodwillie

Bit harsh We never came up with the money quick enough and he's went elsewhere. I wish the boy well and as a Scotland fan as well as a Gers fan i hope he plays his fair share of games. I'd hate to see a young talent like him go down there and warm the bench.

Exactly mate this guy above is whats wrong with fitba fans everywhere really is
time to move on an get other targets in an whyte making proper bids instead of 6 or 7 bids


T-Bear

Deal not done and all hinges on Gavin Gunning and whether he wants a move to Utd he is part of the deal

All the best if he does sign for Blackburn , but benchwarmer and the championship beckons and a new manager by end of the season for good measure . The owners are struggling money wise .

03 Aug 2011 14:20:59
regarding the goodwullie saga, i find it amazing that not one bid for him was put in writing, anyone else feel sacking martin bain was a huge mistake by mr whyte?with rangers claiming to have matched blackburns offer and united had no intention of selling to rangers one question remains...how the hell would rangers be privy to what deal was on offer from blackburn?if ally rates him so highly why was the asking price not meet weeks ago...i firmly believe the rangers management team have started to panic already.2-0 rangers win this evening.

Houston and thomson were not shy or slow in letting the press know how much gers bids were for to let everyone know they were short .... the last bid that Dundee utd confirmed we made was 2.6m rangers then imorved that again (thought but not confirmed to be an extra 200, 00 equaling blackburns offer). No team was gonna bid until the rape trial was sorted thats just common sense

Surprised no one is bringing up Gordon Smith here. He has been exceptionally quiet through all of these failings? I thought he was now chief negotiator

And very economical with the truth Rangers offered more cash up front than Blackburn but package was slightly lower

source David Leggat (leggoland2blogspot.com)
shows what were up against

Martin Bain took a £200 k rise when we had no money. Don't make him out some hero.

No 1 on here knows what blackburn offered upfront an we dont know what gers offered upfront an neither does any sports writer FACT

03 Aug 2011 14:14:29
I Really believe we must give Whyte and Ally a break, but if he does not pick a team to go forward tonight i really will have doubts on Ally. {Ed047's Note - Let's support them guys. We are all part of this amazing club!

Am sick and tired of people saying ally isn't up to the job that wont be saying that tonight if wee win but and give whyte a chance
campbell

Your dinner is ready Campbell, love MuM

Didnt want ally from the start but will give him a chance but we wont win 2night

K

That makes alot of sense u TIT "We must give Whyte and Ally a break ", then u go on 2 say if he doesnt pick a team 2 go forward then u will hve doubts on Ally How many games has he been in charge for ?? Get a grip and give the guy the chance he deserves and remember wot he has given up 2 come bk 2 ou club 1 SUPER ALLY

03 Aug 2011 13:49:10
helllo my eennglesh no good but i say one thinng rangeers sett two siign barcalona striker jeffren {Ed047's Note - ma English is perfect, naw they urny

Go back to school then timothy, nice try but i imagine you are claiming to be 'spanish' and you can't spell Barcelona

This has to be the worst but funniest rumour yet....dear oh dear Girobhoy get a life or better still get a job...

Ur english is fine ya stoater, its ur keyboard thats gubbed double typing all those letters... haha are u that dumb u think repeating a letter constitutes having an accent or a poorer grasp of english lol

I seen this on this site a few weeks ago

Get back on your own page and stop acting like a wee fanny

03 Aug 2011 13:38:18
Rangers are an embarrassment 7 bids for one player never heard of that before. This wouldn't of happened if th just bid 2mill to start with goodwillie would of been here already. They ask for

So have you not seen the Fabregas saga; going on for over a year now and (reportedly) 4 or so bids this summer already. This despite Barcelona, again reportedly, knowing Arsenal want in excess of £40 million to even consider letting him go. They have been increasing their bids a little at a time to see when, or if, Arsenal will bite. One of the offers had a payment of between £6-£8 million up front. Does this sound familiar; and would you say Barcelona are therefore an embarassment.

03 Aug 2011 13:22:32
Dont know why but I have a feeling that we are going to have one of or better nights in europe tonight;4-0 to the Gers with Naisey getting a hatrick, , away to ladbrokes to put it on, , champagne and a roll n sausage for me breakfast 2moro morn lol

03 Aug 2011 13:07:04
Now that the circus is packing up and leaving the town of Goodwillie, I await it's arrival in the town of Murphy. I relish the butchers, tailors, grannies boyfriends plumber etc all in the know. Also would not be surprised one bit if Celtic get Verhoek. This has been like the haggle scene from a "life of Brian". On a plus note I do expect us to win tonight with a stunning performance, onwards and upwards.

03 Aug 2011 12:50:55
Its about time we all moved on and forgot about goodwillie the transfer wont happen Good luck to the lad a think he would have joined but its not his fault whats happened, a defo think he will be with us sometime in the future but not just now

03 Aug 2011 12:35:09
hopefully we get through tonight then sign juhasz and prob bring in bedoya.apart from that can anyone suggest a gd enough striker that will score 20+ a season that would want to come to us that we can afford. I can't think of any {Ed019's Note - jelavic? haha.

Adam Le Fondre

03 Aug 2011 12:28:07
lets put this goodwillie saga 2 rest and focus
on supportin the mighty gers 2nite.i predict a 2 1
victory with edu and jelavic gettn the goals.
what r ppls predictions 4 2nite?

GOOD LUCK RANGERS- BELIEVE IN URSELVES
AND WELL GO THRO

GER 4 LIFE

Ger 4 life shd be get a life edu is gona score ?? h

3-1 to the gers naisy first goal 105/1 at william hills greg byt {Ed019's Note - might take them up on that.

03 Aug 2011 12:16:18
Where is the stand-out signing we were promised? Even if we did get goodwill surely that wasn't it? Odonkor-past his best, Barton-too expensive, upson-surely not..... I think we are going to be lucky to see anymore faces. I really hope we do though. In ally we trust WATP

We were never promised a stand out signing as u put it ally said the wont be big name players so what u talking about ??


K

Still just under a month of the window remaining so calm down and Odonkor is 27 hardly past his best if anything should be coming into his best (that and the fact the guy hasnt even played a single competetive game i was told he impressed against hamilton in the bounce game on Monday along with murphy on trial then again i heard that the last arsenal youngster barazite from last season did well on his trial

03 Aug 2011 11:43:50
Lets forget this Goodwillie nonsense. Granted, he's a good player I'm not denying that. Is he better than Naismith? I dont think so.

As for the champions league we can forget it. If we get lucky in Malmo there's still another round to go. Its europa league for us and a short Europa league campaign at that.

As for the League its still up for grabs but we need players NOW or Celtic are in danger of running away with this league with Hearts fighting us for 2nd. Get it sorted Whyte before we are out of everything by Christmas

A know a lot of Rangers fans wouldnt open the curtains if sellick were playing in their front garden but having watched them a few times there is no way they are anywhere near to us the only player from there team i would have is ISSAGUIRE and he is off before the window closes to Liverpool (caught-offside.com)

03 Aug 2011 11:28:52
we are now the joke club of not just scottish but world football. we have a tax bill above our heads. a chairman with a tight purse . we have to watch what we say and sing. fifa want rid of us . cant even tempt players over english championship sides ie cardiff , that is sad. we should have offered 2 mil a month ago to utd and goodie would be playing tonight.now we have to hope for a bit of luck . can see us waiting on english making final 25 players , then going for loans from the scraps .very sad. not long ago we had de boer , laudrup , gazza , we now cant get players who could't lace there boots.i will keep the faith
i still think ally would be better of with either big terry butcher or ray wilkins by his side. a win tonight can change a lot. i do fear if we go out. {Ed019's Note - the new regimes been in force for what, 3 months? give it time.

I feel i must respond to that half arsed rant you posted, you talk about players we used to have but if you begin to think about it that was the start of our financial problems.big signings, big wages equals big debt. and for what its worth laudrup superb player but when chelsea came calling he was of like a flash, gazza was well past his best and de boer was always on the treatment table. so the grass is, nt always greener mate.

Dont know why any gers fan could ever slag Laudrup, in my opinion the greatest signing we ever made, and a true gent {Ed019's Note - i totally agree mate. the best player i have seen at ibrox personally. had his best four years with us. 30 odd goals for a midfielder over that time is exceptional. best foreigner ever to play in the scottish league. he left us at age 30. true blue.

Thanks Ed019, can, t believe any rangers fan can knock Laudrup or when he left the club. I would love to see him come back to the club in some role as he could only improve us

Who said i was a rangers fan.

Well that says it all

03 Aug 2011 11:22:48
I think rangers should try going for Joey Barton

03 Aug 2011 11:03:06
Hopefully bougherra will recommend edu to the arabs so we can rip more money off them haha 3m for bougy is goof business

IN ALLY WE TRUST

03 Aug 2011 10:28:59
Look bears Goodwillie would have been a fantastic addition to the team and to be honest i'm absolutely gutted he isnt joining but if big Laff is in the form he was in at the end of last season then we will be fine. Of course veryone is frustrated at the length of time negotiations are taking too long but thats not McCoists fault thats the inexperienced boards fault. So ;lets get behind McCoist and give him the best possible chance of becoming a success at as our manager because if anyoine deserves our full vocal support its Super Ally. What do you think ED047?

Billboy1 {Ed019's Note - take it my opinon isnae wanted? haha.

Completely agree. We have to get behind the team

Signs are really bad when supporters are looking towards a player of the calibre of Lafferty to save us. Really bad

Sorry ED0019 lol forgot there was a couple Rangers EDS what do you think ED0019?

Billyboy1 {Ed019's Note - haha, was just jokin mate. and spot on, the new regime needs support and time, perhaps even a good few seasons to get us back to the glory days of having a squad capable of puttin the fear into big clubs. ibrox has been far too quiet of late and I for one will be putting the utmost effort into gettin a few pints in before the games and makin as much noise as possible.

I know ED0019 your spot on. The atmosphere towards the end of last season was exceptional loved it. Just hoping we can get it back to that. To the poster who said us relying on Lafferty is bad why? He scored a hat trick on the last day if your memory isnt so short and him and big Jela were unplayable the last 10 games. People need to get off the guys back he is still only 23 and I believe is starting to show some signs of promise.

Billyboy1

People can say what they like about lafferty and i was one of his doubters as well but u have to admit one thing the guys has plenty of is BOTTLE... look at his stats in the last 7 games of each season (the business end of the season) and he has been hands down our best player bar none every time...if he can recreate that sorta form from start to finish then sorry but there is no arguement here lafferty should be first pick up with Jelavic every week for me ..... IF tho .... IF

03 Aug 2011 10:23:07
something was discussing with mates last night - all this bidding for players and not getting them has always happened. yes it's a wee bit embarrassing if you care for our great club but thats just the way of things. one thing is other clubs used to take the p*** in the early murray era when they thought we had more money than sense and we paid over the odds sometimes, now other clubs dont know what to think, as we fans dont given big quoted transfer budgets but no evidence. another thing is that its possible without bain that the new regime are acting like novices and might account for why our strike rate is lower than it should be, and another is superally (true legend) has a very admirable tendency to be very honest in the media when other managers might keep some stuff to themsleves - all that does is wind up some fans who expect every target will sign.
Ed- fair comments?
But I have faith and we will have a great season - ally will get us playing great football and we will be a power as we always have been and always will be. {Ed019's Note - i liked martin bain up until I found out how much he was earning during our times of turmoil. good riddance to him. I think Ally is smarter than he lets on. Very calculated. I wouldnt be surprised if theres a couple of new bodies in the door by the end of the window.

Wylde on right, Ortiz on Left, Naismith as striker, Edu and McCulloch in CM. Papac at LM or CM.

Yes, every indication that Ally is really smart and a tactical genius...

Is the game on TV toight ? {Ed019's Note - ESPN.

It's not on ESPN it's on that Premier Sports. Sky channel 433. Only sports channel i don't have {Ed019's Note - sorry, get mixed up with those two.

Farce or not to farce that is th question? Would love young Jamie Murphy to sign for the Gers. Playing alongside Jela would make him even more of a top player. Said we should sign him over Goodwillie anyway, so hopefully we will pursue his signature without dragging our great name through the mud. Dunkie Bear

I like Murphy myself mate. I'd have preferred Goodwillie because i reckon he's a bit further forward in his development at this point in time but i reckon Murphy has just as much potential and playing alongside big Jelavic would bring him on a treat. Hopefully Whyte has learned a lesson from the Goodwillie scenario and makes a fair offer.

03 Aug 2011 09:07:34
We have wasted too much time trying to buy Goodwillie, the boy is a decent prospect and would prob be a good foil for Jelavic but i feel the time we have been trying to persuade D Utd to accept our offer could have been better spent trying to get other players on board. Verhoek looks like he'll either end up at Fulham or Ajax. McCoist said the most difficult part of transfers is getting to speak to the actual players, he said agents were the problem. At this point we are struggling to speak to agents nevermind players

Lets put the Goodwillie pursuit to bed and admit defeat and move on. Get an 800'000 bid into Motherwell for Murphy, in my opinion he is a better player anyway.

Good luck tonight lads

Bazza Bear

If Murphy is worth £800k in your opinion, and Goodwillie is worth £2million, why will Motherwell accept such a low offer ? I know the DUtd @rseholes carry a vendetta against us, but at the end of the day........... goodwillie could always say NO, so he actually wants to sign for B/Burn.............Boycott tannadice just the same WATP

03 Aug 2011 08:53:20
Goodie can still say no

03 Aug 2011 08:26:47
Heard some suggestions that Rangers fans may boycott games at Tannadice, this is in protest at the way Thompson and Dundee Utd have treated Glasgow Rangers during the goodwillie transfer saga............... Any Bears have any thoughts, or comments re: this ? 4inarow

Wouldn't buy the Sunday Post either - what would my mum think if she was still alive

Totally agree with the boycott these teams only fill their stadiums when they play against the old firm so hit them where it hurts most in their pockets. Lets see how disrespectful they are when they are short of cash at the end of the season.

Total agreement with Tannadice boycott infact Rangers should refuse the ticket allowance. As for mr fixture and fittings Whyte and his priority we must have new kiosks, I dont know why a know a few bears that will boycott them (to be honest a few could do with a salad bar lol) dont want to hurt the team but dont want to line that lowlifes pockets wish other bears would do the same.

Lets all stick 2 it wrtp

03 Aug 2011 07:18:53
One thing I dont understand. If goodwillie had a £2m price on his head, why are Blackburn going to pay up to £2.8m?

If Rangers really wanted him they could have paid £2m for him a month ago and prevented this sorry saga

Poor show Rangers.......

03 Aug 2011 02:52:59
im sick of reading this last 2 months 1st post lets be clear 15m plus bougey and charlie adam money =18.85m. contracts secured on davis shagger and whi OVER 5 years so forget that bs about using chunk of 'the fund' mr murray put up and didnt talk about it this guy whyte is clearly a master bs artist as has conned us all. offereng a fifth of what people want for players thus alienating everyone and signing ONE target lee from hearts even then still going through torture of the 300k insult bid he is turning us into a laughing stock and mccoist will more likely quit rather than sacked I AM FINALLY SICK OF THIS GUYS NONSENSE the board were dead right about him which is becoming clearer ever day. worried and sad bear.

03 Aug 2011 01:18:21
ED.....with the loan players gone back that money will of covered the players new contract ...if bougy is sold for 3m that will of coverd the new players we have brought in with a bit spare.....so were is the money whyte promised even the 5m would be enough for 4 in a row ...i just don't think he as the money {Ed047's Note - Still 4 weeks left to the close of the window.

03 Aug 2011 01:12:03
It's a bit annoying that THEY are being linked with a move for Joey Barton and the bookies have made THEM favourites to sign them.

Barton is actually a Ger and he has been up to watch games with Robbie Fowler and Ricky Hatton in the past.

Hatton once stated:
I have a lot of mates who are footballers, Robbie (Fowler) and Joey (Barton) took me up to watch Rangers as they are big fans, but to be honest I really didn t enjoy the atmosphere at all. It might seem strange coming from me, but the atmosphere was aggressive without being hard if that makes sense. I really didn t understand them at all. I then went with Wayne and Roy a few years back to watch Celtic and it was magic. Their fans were passionate and supportive and gave us a great welcome without getting in our faces all the time. Celtic has a lot in common with City in that they are the people s team of their city and they haven t forgot their roots, a real working class team which does credit to the city they represent .

Who cares what Hatton thinks but more to the point, surely we can push the boat out for once for someone the calibre of Barton? No transfer fee so if he was willing to take say a small hit in wages to £40-50k per week then I don't think it is unreasonable. £25k out of the wage pot and subsidise the rest from the transfer pot. e.g £20k pw x 156 weeks (3 year contract) is around £3m so take that out the transfer pot.

Joey Barton for £3million (to cover extra wages for 3 years) on £25k pw out the wage pot is a total bargain.

Plus he is a GER It's hardly rocket science how Celtic were able to do fund wages for Keane and Bellamy when they paid no loan fees for them.

If he goes to the Timothy's I think this will be a major opportunity missed and also probably give THEM a major a boost for the season.

Discuss

No way.... barton is a disgusting animal wouldnt have him any wer near our lcub .. ask ur self y EVERY club he has been at got rid of him ... the list of things he has done make Diouf look like mother theresa we all know about the cigar incident we only know about this thro the papers, trust the guy has done FAR worse FAR WORSE .... dont let this guy anywer near our team ... dont let him in football

Barton at the scrapyard you must believe in fairies mate, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hi ed Its quite hard to pin down the
truth with the d. g/willie situation do you have anything concrete on it or is it still
rumbling on? {Ed047's Note - Fraid not, a 7th bid rejected, a bid above what they initially wanted. They just don't want to sell to another SPL club if they can avoid it in my opinion.

02 Aug 2011 23:27:20
Sorry to be so downbeat but will we actually sign someone, I know we have bids out there but realistically are they likely to be accepted, all this keep the faith etc statements every target were reported to be after is getting snapped up by other teams. By the way hope the team do it aa much as for themselves as the supporters as no doubt a feeding frenzy will ensue if we don't so c'mon the Gers Sorry for being downbeat ED it's all disheartening for me lol

02 Aug 2011 19:37:23
With Goodwillie almost defo going to Blackburn Ally Mccoist will try to tempt Eider Gudjohnsen for a year.....anyone think he could do a job??

I thought eidur gudjohnsen had signed for someone a few weeks ago? After he failed to agree terms with west ham

02 Aug 2011 23:07:07
Goodwillie, Goodwillie, Goodwillie, get a grip we aint talking another Laudrup, Gazza etc. it aint the end of the world, what has he done. [off field activities aside]

02 Aug 2011 22:39:10
Goodwill now signing with Blackburn. Give it up. Go have whyte and McCoist with water holy water cause you need nothing short of a miracle to avoid going under. Gers are playing you for fools. Again making great press before another failure. Monies should have been there long before now. Your hard earned cash is not being matched by club and hoops no better.

02 Aug 2011 19:50:45
Ed whats happened we seem to have reverted to an update at 3.30pm? There were lots of posts up after that time when I was on earlier? {Ed..025's Note - server problems mate...sorted soon..

02 Aug 2011 19:10:00
ON the football phone in Goodwillie has been seen leaving Ewood Park signing a Blackburn shirt for a fan, game over

02 Aug 2011 17:13:49
Reference my post 09.03.06 At least 5 of you bit once again. Just a wee question can any rangers fan post a reply without vulgarities, just a thought Timalloy

I've responded to and respectfully debated and/or discissed posts on here with Celtic fans. Primarily Miko but noone has ever acknowledged them. So, go figure.

Can we do it...yes we can

02 Aug 2011 16:35:27
16.12pm dundee u reject rangers latest bid for dw even tho rangers claim 2 have matched rovers bid. Source bbc latest transfer gossip page. Ed any further news on mariano pavone from a few days ago? Watched clips on youtube from his days in argentina and looks really good. {Ed025's Note - anyone can look good on u-tube..

02 Aug 2011 16:19:58
5th and 6th bid rejected by DUFC today. Goodwillies medical is to carry over untill tomorrow

this is just weird now.

Where is Blackburns pride? But at the same time, surely Goodwillie would have said if he wanted to join us?
