Rangers Banter Archive November 03 2020

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


03 Nov 2020 22:31:20
Pleased to see that our manager has attempted to draw a line over the C.V. twins.

They made a mistake just like plenty of other footballers and ordinary folk.

They've been punished, now we move on.

Some would have them banished but were better than that. We look after our own and understand that no one is perfect.

Their cards will be marked and a move pencilled in at the next mistake but for now they are Rangers players and should get support from the fans.

SG has handled if very well IMO.



04 Nov 2020 02:12:13
I agree SG and rangers have handled it well but they’ll get no support from me. If they had went into training and got caught later it could have ruined the season for us. I don’t care how stupid someone is, they would’ve known that could’ve happened before they made their decision.



04 Nov 2020 03:12:00
Its my understanding there's an investigation going on and both are suspended, are you saying the players are employed by Steven gerard mate, i'm only asking S you commented yesterday that " if clubs can be punished for they're fans behaviour then they can be punished for they're players behaviour, not away from the workplace they can't mate, rather bizarre thing to say,



04 Nov 2020 07:03:06
I agree blue89. That's the bit that can't be forgiven. FACT they would have kept quiet and went in to training if they hadn't been caught. They had no care about how that would have affected our season. That's not an overreaction. We were very lucky that they got caught otherwise our full squad would be isolating. We wouldn't be to fulfil our european fixtures, we would have been thrown out. Our league momentum hampered. The financial implications and then of course the potential was there to spread the virus throughout the club and onto families. Someone tell me how that is overreacting because let's not kid ourselves that was a very realistic possibility as they had no intention of coming clean. Had they not been caught the would have walked into training. What if's don't cut it. That was very much their intention. 👍.



04 Nov 2020 07:40:13
Yes both should get the full support of the Rangers fans

For totally ignoring what millions of people are adhering too

You get better every day mate,

Fxxk them, my wife and nieces are nurses, I won’t be supporting them, my girls wedding was cancelled because people couldn’t be there, but you expect people to support those two clowns, numpty.



04 Nov 2020 08:36:37
Total overreaction still.
You couldn’t forgive Morelos for apparently downing tools and wanted him sold.
Fast forward a few weeks and you were creaming your pants at the goal against the poles!
Life comes at you fast in the land of Hysteria, Coldo🤦‍♂️🤭😂😂.



04 Nov 2020 08:40:59
DK19, you said "They made a mistake just like plenty of other footballers and ordinary folk". Really? Nobody makes mistakes like these two idiots. That wasn't a mistake. They couldn't care less about others when they did what they did. They knew exactly what they were doing and thought they would get away with it. As has been said on here already, they could have ruined our season and affected lives. I still say ship them out, especially Jones who is a complete prat. If they are allowed to stay with no further action then what sort of message does that send out in terms of discipline?



04 Nov 2020 08:49:39
Guys,
Just a wee thought on this punish players/ club issue.
In light of what has happened in the recent past, all players l would imagine have had it drummed into them that it was vital they comply with the C.V. rules.
I remember an officer in Strathclyde Police breaking disciplinary regs whilst off duty, he was dragged over the coals and dismissed. The force dealt with it quickly and decisively. Stratchclyde Police were not punished for the transgression of one of their employees that knew better. At the disciplinary hearing this officers gaffer was asked if he had told him not to behave in the manner he had. His reply was no l didn't, but l also didn't tell him not to punch anyone, or smash any windows, drive a car whilst drunk etc so if he had done that would it be my or the forces fault?
I think the club have done what was required of them in my opinion.



04 Nov 2020 09:24:46
After your disgraceful post about C.V. the other night bluebell you can no longer be respected. Who creamed themselves? Do you just make stuff up? Another belter👍 Credit where its due I said the ball from barasic and the finish from fredo were both great. 👍.



04 Nov 2020 09:27:32
Bluebell your previous post re C.V. was disgusting and marked your character as far as I’m concerned, and a few others I think

Your obsession with coldo is boring and you are a joke, and pathetic really.



04 Nov 2020 09:31:45
Doiger, this isn't a mistake as you call it. A mistake is spelling there instead of their, oops I've made a mistake. They know exactly what the rules are and knew exactly what they were doing. So my friend, THEY HAVE NOT SIMPLY MADE A MISTAKE!



04 Nov 2020 09:43:13
Stuck. I was quoting what DK19 said. I know it wasn't a mistake, far from it. Read my post properly then read DK19's.



04 Nov 2020 09:53:40
Doiger apologies, that was a REAL MISTAKE. I was indeed referring to DK19.



04 Nov 2020 09:54:26
Absolutely spot on Coldo. Nothing but a pair of selfish b@stards, who could have completely fu~ked up our whole season with their actions. And don't give me all this crap about them being young. They are both in their twenties, and all the men they will ever be. GET RID.



04 Nov 2020 10:05:16
Well, clearly I touched a nerve with all you Perfect Peters on here.

The guys made a mistake, an error of judgment, they disregarded the rules along with everyone else who was there The exuberance of youth - nothing more.

A bit Like our national hero Sean Connery saying that it was OK to slap your wife or Gascoine or McGregor or Goram - error of judgements galore.

I've made plenty of mistakes and at times have paid the price but I was allowed the opportunity to redeem myself and have ended up not too bad.

Obviously if you've never made a mistake you won't understand but as far as I'm concerned these guys should be punished and then given the opportunity to prove that they are good enough to play a part in our future successes.

Just an opinion, albeit an unpopular one.



04 Nov 2020 10:26:30
If they had not been found out by police, what would they have done?
Turned up for training with a word or confessed and self-isolated?



04 Nov 2020 10:34:45
The thing is DK19, it’s not exactly Jones first ‘mistake’ is it? He has a long history of being a disrespectful numpty from tweeting when he was still employed by Kilmarnock, to getting himself purposefully sent off (and injuring himself as well) against Celtic in some dumb ‘playing to the crowd’ manner. To getting done for dangerous and reckless driving, to this. And these are only the ones we have heard and know about. And as everyone has clearly pointed out, including Gerrard in his interview, these guys have been told almost daily what they can and can’t do, how they must behave and what the rules are. How can it be a ‘mistake’ when it’s been drummed into the constantly? It would be like me saying to you ‘Don’t walk over there and kick that baby’ 20 times and then you, walking over and kicking the baby and saying ‘oops, it was a mistake! ’
And by the way, Gerrard hasn’t drawn a line under it, he rightly no longer wants it talked about and focused on in the press because as he said, everything has been so positive about Rangers recently and now this has brought about bad press and he doesn’t want that, so of course he wants the press to draw a line under it. However he also stated that once the players return after 14 days suspension they will be dealt with AND further punished by the club. And rightly so!



04 Nov 2020 10:37:32
Seriously bluebell you’re way off, 100% wrong.



04 Nov 2020 10:45:49
No need to apologise Stuck, so many posts on here on this matter!



04 Nov 2020 10:45:54
listen mate you simply aren't able to comprehend a worldwide C.V. is killing millions and may kill thousands in this country in the coming months, and yet you continue with this " mistake " nonsense, no mistake was made, they meant it, don't you know the difference? They didn't make a mistake, they got dressed and went to a party they weren't mistakenly there son, they meant to go there they're paid very well and they're tiny brains aren't asked to do much, just pile up your wages and stay home there's a C.V. and you can't go out, what part of C.V. is it that you don't get DK? Try to get this this time no other " mistake " matters, this time the world is dying, fm maybe when God forbid some clowns " mistake" affects one of your family you might actually realise your talking rubbish now.



04 Nov 2020 10:54:49
Has nobody on here had there kids or relatives in to see them? Or went to see there elderly parents? that's still breaking c. v regulations. It was stupid but hardly hanging material.



04 Nov 2020 10:59:20
Not talking rubbish Tom, just expressing an opinion but its clear that some on here only want to hear opinions that agree with their own.

There is an old saying, “The loudest voice in the room seldom belongs to the most intelligent mind. ”.



04 Nov 2020 11:21:50
Mmmm, aye ok pal, you carry on with your nonsense no point in trying to find some logic or intelligence,
Although I would love to see your explanation for telling coldo " if a club can be punished for they're fans behaviour then they can be punished for a players behaviour in they're personal life "?

You were saying about loud voices and most intelligence?



04 Nov 2020 11:37:23
55, your usually on the ball mate but your way way off here, my nephew or niece popping in or my next door neighbour coming to the door is not going to close football down, its not going to cause my entire club to shut down, its not going to have a catastrophic effect on Rangers season and hand over the title because we lost all momentum , its not going to cause widespread condemnation and embarrassment to the entire club and the new sponsors, is it?

And BTW, you, my old sparring partner have said a few times that " there's no evidence they intended to go into training, really ? Wtf were they going to do then ? Its they're job mate, come on 55 don't get dragged down with the dross and ignorant your better than that.



04 Nov 2020 11:40:03
I wonder if everyone’s opinions would be the same if it were 2 different players! Let’s face none of these 2 guys are good enough for rangers, some will disagree but in my opinion both would move on eventually for nominal fees even if they hadn’t went to this party. If it was a couple of fan favourites like barasic and Jack for instance would the hysteria be the same? I doubt it! However as much as I don’t rate the players I do sympathise, life for everyone has been on hold for quite some time now and I don’t think C.V. is going anywhere so perhaps it’s time to get back to normal and stop hiding from it, keep the vulnerable safe and everyone else should get on with life! Just my opinion but the longer this goes on the worse it will be for everyone.



04 Nov 2020 11:43:10
Getting yourself all worked up Tom?

Time to calm down and understand that these pages are all about opinions and that everyone is entitled to express one without you throwing around accusations like an attack dog.

You think I'm wrong, I think you are wrong, end of, life goes on.



04 Nov 2020 12:03:19
HB81, agreed!



04 Nov 2020 12:11:19
The hypocrisy continues TomThumb.
So it's ok for your family and neighbours to break the rules and potentially spread the CV but your only grip about Jones and Edmundson is that it had the potential to derail our season! Which it never.
Embarrassing post and there's been a few on here regarding this matter.



04 Nov 2020 13:03:03
hi fellow bears just a wee point which i have made before . C.V. has killed approx 1.2 million worldwide although many have had underlying challengees . 10 million children die through poverty and related conditions yet no one cares about them? strange world we live in that's for sure.



04 Nov 2020 13:25:32
But u said in another post they can't be treated differently from normal people. But your saying it's different for your niece and nephew as " they won't close down football" so either they do or don't get treated differently.



04 Nov 2020 14:00:01
Watch briangersfan, the hysteria mob will be blaming Jones and Edmundson for that as well 👍.



04 Nov 2020 15:51:59
Briangersfan what's child poverty got to do with this? Child poverty isn't a highly contagious virus. Child poverty hasn't resulted in the world going into lockdown. Child poverty hasn't the potential to be the most infectious virus known to man. Child poverty hasn't affected our normal way of life. Child poverty has no bearing on our football league. Child poverty never handed the league to Celtic. Child poverty isn't the reason why we are at loggerheads with each other because of the selfish actions of 2 clowns.
Do you see where I'm going with this? It's all well and good throwing about stats etc, but they've got to be relevant to the debate, or they're worthless.
Child poverty is horrendous, but it has no bearing whatsoever in this discussion.



04 Nov 2020 16:14:46
bmhg01 like i said no one cares because it doesn't affect our normal way of life . child poverty and related challengees of which there are many because its not relevant its meaningless? fair enough that's your opinion. . i'm not throwing stats around it is a fact . i was just making a point that there are many things happening around this world that in my humble opinion are just as important as C.V. .



04 Nov 2020 16:16:48
These players could return to the first team later on, there has been a massive overreaction to this. Time to get behind the team and keep this fantastic winning streak going.



04 Nov 2020 16:57:32
You're absolutely right Brian, child poverty and deaths are horrendous and need highlighted, it just isn't relevant in this discussion mate. I know where you're coming from, but the debate here is how these 2 clowns could have (yes, that's could have mph) caused far more carnage than they did through their selfish and downright stupid actions.
No offense meant!



04 Nov 2020 17:12:53
none taken bmgh01 all the best mate.



04 Nov 2020 18:11:39
Since March I haven't been near a pub, restaurant, cafe etc. I haven't been on holiday, abroad or otherwise. I have 2 businesses and when I'm not in either place I"m at home or walking my collie. I've been to B&Q maybe about 5 times. The only other place I've been is in my house or garden. I'm making these sacrifices to protect friends, work colleagues and family, especially vulnerable family. I've almost washed the skin off my hands and I have a face mask on every day. It makes my blood boil when I see people openly flout the rules, cavort about at parties and walk about arrogantly refusing to wear masks. These 2 jokers may be young guys with raging hormones etc but really, with all the guidance from government and clubs themselves, constant testing and working in bubbles etc, surely at some point they have to get it into their thick heads that this is real. This is not a game and people's lives are on the line. It is just not on. It will just not do. Rant over!



04 Nov 2020 18:30:14
Fantastic post Seeker, really well put! Stay safe sir.



04 Nov 2020 18:43:59
There might be a way back for Edmundson but not for Jones. He has shown himself to be the dummy some thought he was when he signed and he'll be shipped out in January.



04 Nov 2020 18:51:06
You don't have to wear a mask 24/ 7 Seeker.
Only indoors ( shops etc ) , unless you have a medical reason why you shouldn't. 👍.



04 Nov 2020 19:11:57
I am with bluebell on this massive over reaction from fans that the majority have broken rules as well it’s absolutely ridiculous they way you lot are going on.



04 Nov 2020 19:14:22
Herewego 100% with that post.



04 Nov 2020 20:46:13
Bmgh01 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧.



04 Nov 2020 20:51:22
I know that BB but when you see people arrogantly stride into shops without masks on and then cause bother when they are asked to comply. I saw one balloon drop a carton of milk on the floor and walk out when the wee lassie on the till asked him to put his mask on. Absolute moron. Funnily enough was wearing the green and grey.



04 Nov 2020 21:06:22
have you heard of the professional sports bubble, and why its there? Wtf, how can someone coming to my door be compared to 2 halfwit football players going to a party then as they surely would have, returning to the bubble, utterly pathetic that you don't know the difference.



05 Nov 2020 09:10:55
There is no difference Tom in the real world.

The virus doesn’t differentiate between your family or a footballer.

Pathetic to argue that these guys should be sacked or hung whilst saying it’s ok for your family to meet (breaking the rules) when they like.

PMSL.



03 Nov 2020 21:47:38
The Famous are not just a football team Its a Business -the 2 culprits will be sold on maybe for half a million apiece but sold none the less --all good here as no great loss #55 is what its all about imo, not 2 misguided kids.



04 Nov 2020 03:15:09
and reputation is everything, especially when you have just signed numerous brand new sponsorship deals, see this is what some who make massive statements like, " can't and wont" don't get, if by any chance a major sponsorship demands action to protect their own brand, these 2 boys feet won't touch, but again, I don't think that will happen straight away, but its certainly possible.



04 Nov 2020 07:13:36
And another thing, BMG, leaders of massive companies are sacked, world political leaders are sacked, police chief inspectors have been sacked, and even the leader of the free world was inches from being sacked, and yet you believe 2 stupid boys who play football “ can’t be sacked, that is fantastic, really mind blowing stuff,



04 Nov 2020 07:36:42
Many would say sold cheaply and quickly is sacked mate,



04 Nov 2020 10:27:27
Government advisors aren't sacked.



04 Nov 2020 10:56:11
What government advisors have been sacked for c. v breaches. Whst other footballers?



04 Nov 2020 11:42:23
that guys is like saying nobody was done for murder, until one was,

Warning only lasts so long, then you pay the piper, and BTW, quite a few politicians have fallen on they're sword since march, and your saying that these guys should be treated the same as the last guys, , therefore your saying football players will always know the punishment can't be raised, so they can plan for a " mistake" and know what the punishment will be,? No chance, time to tell football players, try it son ayour career is over, maybe that and another new motor will keep them amused without spreading a deadly virus, C.V.iots indeed.



04 Nov 2020 14:01:13
What politicians? Name 5 out if your few?



04 Nov 2020 16:27:29
There has been no politicians sacked mate as there is no legislation in place to allow this to happen (If there was, that Rutherglen msp would have got the boot)
The Government officials who have breached the rules like the chief medical officer resigned mate, they weren't sacked.



03 Nov 2020 21:15:47
Sorry sent to quick, roofe has missed a lot of football over his career, toney may have cost more but more games more goals more sell on value, but could be wrong mrs watching bake off an I'm board.



04 Nov 2020 02:15:40
We simply did not have finances for toney.



04 Nov 2020 03:15:47
and you are right too mate, very much so.



04 Nov 2020 18:14:55
Ahhh, hate bake off, celebrity this and love island that. Bobby Carlyle was right. We should gather all the reality "stars" into one room and machine gun the lot of them.



03 Nov 2020 21:11:16
Hope i am wrong and i know the european goal makes up for a lot but I think signing roofe could be a mistake injured alot, missed a lot of games the las.



03 Nov 2020 22:50:26
What’s all this anti Roofe nonsense. Might even clinch the points in Portugal this week.



04 Nov 2020 03:16:54
anti roofe nonsense, says it all really, listen mate the guy was contributing his thoughts if your agreeable like.



03 Nov 2020 20:49:57
Because he will be a 25 million player.



03 Nov 2020 20:34:10
Just looking at scores on s, s, news see the lad toney scored for Brentford been knocking them in, think we missed a trick there never touch him now premiership bound i reckon.



03 Nov 2020 20:45:31
Border not sure how we missed a trick. 5 million with t10 million in add ons. We r not in that market.



03 Nov 2020 20:53:59
I felt he was too dear aswell. When we’re getting bid £16.5m for fredo and there demanding similar for him. It’s a bit much. Strikers from Peterborough shouldn’t cost same as strikers from rangers and then throw in Morelos scoring record in Europe, and domestically, and some of his goals were top notch. Never going to pay same as we get for players.



04 Nov 2020 03:20:02
im on a roll tonight, tell me gerr, why shouldn't strikers from Peterborough cost as much as strikers from Rangers? What strikers from Rangers are you talking about mate? Joe garner, waghorn, maybe, or John daly perhaps.



04 Nov 2020 06:35:40
IGWT that’s a ridiculous thing to say about Peterborough they can sell their players for as much as they like.



03 Nov 2020 20:13:47
Listening to Stevie is very interesting. The senior members in the rangers first team have a say in what happens in regards to the treatment of the culprits. He says that he has to consult with the senior players and ask for their input. Not since Walter Smith, have I had so much faith in this management team. The first two seasons were passable, but I believe that things will only get better from now on. As I said ages ago, Alex Ferguson won nothing in his first few years at man. u, then he went on to make them into one of the best teams ever. We can only hope. I see a 2-2 draw v the Portuguese.



03 Nov 2020 20:34:37
I really liked what he had to say also. Very measured with no dirty laundry being washed in public. What happens behind the scenes I imagine is a totally different story.

I'm really starting to like the man and not just because he's our manager.



03 Nov 2020 20:50:00
Handles himself with class when interviewed regardless what’s going on. Always honest, sometimes quite damming of his own players when has to be. What I took from interview, don’t know bout u guys but I took that he might not be as quick to get rid as most of us. I feel he’s angry upset feeling let down, but, maybe a way back, for this season at least. And perhaps that’s the right thing, we don’t know what injuries suspensions or virus outbreaks lie ahead and we may need them. Hang them out to dry just now and we may need them at some point. Just what I took from it.



04 Nov 2020 03:23:20
he does indeed, but it will be the real powers behind the scenes who pay the wages who will decide if anyone is shown the door, its been kinda strange that many people only want Jones gone, even though they have no idea what happened, if both are guilty, they're both culpable, i'm surprised Rangers fans want to blame one guy and not the other.



04 Nov 2020 06:36:55
TT itbeu will not be sacked they may be sold in January but they will not be sacked.



04 Nov 2020 08:46:04
kJ you’re probably correct in that, however you’re “ ridiculous “ comment was way off the mark, because that is still a possibility, small maybe, but a possibility none the less,



04 Nov 2020 12:15:00
Gerrard and Rangers have handled it with class. 👍.



04 Nov 2020 18:41:56
SG and others have brought a real level of professionalism to our club that has not been seen for years.



03 Nov 2020 17:42:46
Some want the two sacked, out of interest on what grounds would Rangers have to sack them, as Coldo said it has nothing to do with the club which is why there is no further action toward us.



03 Nov 2020 17:53:03
It has everything to with the club in terms of what disciplinary action they take against the players. What I said was that disciplinary action shouldn't be taken against the club by the SPFL. Gross misconduct may be an option but as others have said the club would have to ensure the correct legal approach is taken. 👍.



03 Nov 2020 18:00:21
TJBB, I don’t think they should be sacked mate. I am just disappointed in their behaviour and they will probably be moved on✌️🇬🇧.



03 Nov 2020 18:26:59
Dont sack them sell them n get a transfer fee fur them.



03 Nov 2020 19:01:24
Punt them in January make them train alone and scrape the chuggi off the grounds of ibrox and training facilities.



03 Nov 2020 19:11:17
Yeh, punt them in January. If they didn't get caught by the police then they would of carried on as normal. Showing up at work and potentially making the situation far far worse. Would they still continue to attend house gatherings? Have they done it before? Someone posted on here that it's an over reaction, oaft!



03 Nov 2020 20:12:43
The reason they should be sacked is for the obvious reason that if they hadn’t been caught with the police they would have affected our full squad in a season that is 1 of the biggest seasons in the clubs history for 2 stupid individuals who think there bigger than the club and think because they play with Rangers they should get special treatment!

I use to slate Gerrard for playing barker before jones but now it’s all making sense to why that is, if having a night out is more important than concentrating on Rangers then please leave immediately, this season is so big for us we can’t have anyone bringing us down! 🇬🇧.



03 Nov 2020 20:15:10
Correct stuck.



03 Nov 2020 20:49:39
Deano, Absolutely spot on mate and a brilliant post✌️🇬🇧.



03 Nov 2020 21:18:22
We all know it, but impossible to prove they planned to go to training yo sack them. Let them sit in reserves to jan then sell them for whatever we can get.



03 Nov 2020 22:12:41
Spot on deano. 👍.



04 Nov 2020 08:47:48
55, of course they planned to go back to training, it’s they’re job man, what you think they planned to do, run away?



04 Nov 2020 11:01:16
It was there day off the following day. No way to prove they weren't going to confess before going back. We all know they wouldn't have. Bit for someone who is big on business law as claim to beu, need a thing called proof to fire someone.



03 Nov 2020 15:03:42
Let’s put the overreaction to one side now and what are peoples score predictions for Thursday I reckon 1-0 win or 1-1.



03 Nov 2020 15:16:42
2 - 0, Jones and Edmundson of the bench to score in the second half, still their party clothes from the night before, lips smeared in vaseline and with a 6 pack of Corona. 🤣
Too soon for the mass hysteria brigade? 😂😂😂.



03 Nov 2020 15:39:06
Jones pi**Ed off at not playing against his old club so ooot he went and now he's ooot.



03 Nov 2020 15:44:33
I honestly think we will at best get a draw, but think we mayget beat in a tight game maybe 2-1. Hope I'm wrong but think it's going to be a tough game. I'd bite your hand off for 1-1.



03 Nov 2020 15:55:40
Jones to score a Screamer!



03 Nov 2020 17:04:08
I think 1-0 kja9, prob the heart rather than head mate lol. We’re not great for goals atm but our defence is solid. I think 1-0/ is a good shout.



03 Nov 2020 17:07:16
2-2: and 3-2: are my bets and a reasonable punt on Rangers as per, Europe is good these days for a decent punt with reasonable price,
And possibly a defender for first and last goal, big goldy again maybe.



03 Nov 2020 17:12:59
Six pack of Corona? Six pack of condoms more like.



03 Nov 2020 17:14:23
3 - 1 to Benfica av gota horrible feeling last 2games were starting to drop like last year hope am wrong tho.



03 Nov 2020 17:27:31
Herewego I agree with you am being positive for a change lol.
I would take 1-1 right now.



03 Nov 2020 17:33:49
It’s not over reacting to want them sacked then hung by the balls at Glasgow cross and force fed dog $h! t. Totally justified in my book!



03 Nov 2020 17:38:09
I think benfica will win 3-1 but as long as we beat Hamilton i can cope with it.



03 Nov 2020 17:54:03
I'd take a draw in a heartbeat, would be a fantastic result👍.



03 Nov 2020 19:26:19
3-1 benfica.



03 Nov 2020 19:40:52
I fancy us to draw 1-1 with benfica and i'd bite your hand off for that!
A point would be a tremendous result for us 👌.



03 Nov 2020 20:17:02
I fancy a draw. They r no better than Porto or Braga, if we can keep a clean sheet may just come away with a win.



04 Nov 2020 08:49:04
And calling that an overreaction is ridiculous I.



03 Nov 2020 13:56:45
From a business perspective can anyone justify the rationale behind our youth or B teams? Paterson looks a prospect I get but year on year out nobody comes through the ranks and I ask what's the point. I read good things about Lewis Ferguson but the fact is he needs his 100 games for Aberdeen and has benefited greatly and wouldn't have got that at Rangers. So we rather look to recruit young Scottish talent getting game time for their clubs and buy.



03 Nov 2020 14:12:54
Without seeing the accounts and how these complement our business model how on earth could somebody honestly comment from a ‘business perspective)?

Are you being passive aggressive towards the lack of first team opportunities to our youth players or just having a moan in general?



03 Nov 2020 14:28:01
Its a separate company that runs the youth teams and I believe most if not all of it is funded by the sponsorship from Julian Woldharts company DCP. They should be producing more players other than Patterson by now though I agree.



03 Nov 2020 14:44:53
The scottish based player i want us to sign is current hibs striker kevin nisbet. I honestly believe this young man has a very bright future and will only get better and better 👌 With gerrard and our management team coaching nisbet, i strongly believe we could take him to the next level. Really like the look of kevin nisbet 👍.



03 Nov 2020 15:29:11
Not Shankland then SGL? ;)



03 Nov 2020 15:34:53
Couldn't lace morelos boots. Hope were setting our sights a lot higher than that.



03 Nov 2020 15:44:24
Is this before or after dykes?



03 Nov 2020 15:45:32
He's not an all round better striker than morelos but a more natural finisher.



03 Nov 2020 16:01:05
From what I've seen herewego55 morelos hasn't got boots.



03 Nov 2020 16:51:35
So you would rather have nisbet than morelos 6 counties? Coops, how is he a more natural finisher morelos scored a similar amount of goals the last 2 seasons at a far higher level, how well do you think nisbet would do at europa level, if you be honest? U keep touting all these players who are not good enough for us, Chris cadden allan Campbell shankland nisbet. Were never going to progress signing that calibre of player.



03 Nov 2020 17:09:46
Nesbit looks a good player coops, I see where your coming from and also helps the homegrown quota for Europe. Could do worse than him. However, how much would he cost? Realistically u would say £2-£3 million we all know Hibs are hard to deal with and hold out for what they want. Would we spend that on a 4th choice striker from Hibs? I’d need to see more of him but I like look so far. People on here too quick to shoot down the idea of signing a player from Scotland. Look how well mcginn has done down south. Kenny McLean John fleck. Ryan Fraser. Andy Robertson? Don’t be quick to write people off because they aren’t fashionable.



03 Nov 2020 17:40:43
Leave Nisbet were he is to develop, SG wouldn't play him.



03 Nov 2020 19:37:45
John mcginn was the miss of them all, him n robertson. flecks made a good career. Ryan Fraser is rotten, him n kenny mclean wouldn't get a game for us.



03 Nov 2020 19:38:44
If we win the league this year and replace morelos with nisbet or shankland it's a massive backwards step.



03 Nov 2020 19:44:51
Herewego55,remind me mate, where our legendary record goalscorer started out from in scotland? A clue is they played at muirton park back then!
Being around better players and being coached by much better coaches
always suggests you never know how good any player can become, in my experiences anyway over the years!



03 Nov 2020 19:46:02
Superb, spot on post, ingerrardwetrust 👌.



03 Nov 2020 20:22:52
Totally different era, the era of 4-4-2 is gone. As great as he was ally mccoist eouldnt even fit in our team now, same with shankland. Both natural finishers, who wouldn't fit in our system harsh as it sounds.



03 Nov 2020 20:32:53
SGL why would we sign nisbet to be Fith choice.



03 Nov 2020 21:04:45
Different era when the Scottish League was a higher standard too.



03 Nov 2020 21:22:15
You keep touting absolute mince for us sgl. Cadden Lewis moult jamie walker scott Allen allan Campbell nisbet. Thank god we've been setting our sights s lot higher, we signed all them we wouldn't be in top 4.



04 Nov 2020 02:59:59
SGL actually he got binned by Sir Alex at St Mirren then signed on at St Johnstone. Some of these youngsters you have mention previous wohld have us going backwards. Allan campbell etc. cmon.



04 Nov 2020 09:01:28
Who did Paul?

Results of the SPFL club survey regarding voiding season etc:-
The SPFL has completed its latest consultation exercise with all 42 member clubs, gauging views on a range of issues related to C.V. and their possible effects during the current season.

SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: "Like everyone in the game, the board is keen to avoid the division and dispute caused when Scottish Government restrictions prompted by C.V. forced the curtailment of last season.

"In light of the fast-changing nature of C.V. restrictions, the board is seeking to ensure that the game is as well-prepared as it can be for any eventuality and the League is consulting regularly with all 42 member clubs.

"We have already carried out one such consultation exercise this season and the second, which we have just completed, is unlikely to be the last. In the interests of transparency, we expect that we'll continue to monitor and publish the collective views of clubs as the season develops. "

Club responses included the following:

- 20 clubs agreed that they would be content to give the SPFL Board at this stage in the season power to curtail the season (on a points per game basis) if a particular threshold of matches had been played by the date of curtailment;

- 17 clubs agreed that they would be content to give the SPFL Board the power now to void the season if an insufficient number of matches had been played by the date of curtailment;

- 12 clubs were in favour of the SPFL Board being granted broad powers to manage further C.V. related disruption to the season. A number of other clubs were undecided on the issue, with some suggesting that they may reconsider later in the season;

- only four clubs were in favour of the SPFL Board being given the power to impose a 3-0 defeat on any club not fulfilling a fixture. A number of clubs expressed the view that the existing system, which gives the Board power to allow or refuse individual League Match postponements and to investigate the circumstances, which may result in disciplinary proceedings being commenced, allows "due process" to be followed before any sanction is imposed;

- a wide range of views were expressed as to how many fixtures should be completed for a valid season to be deemed to have been completed, in the event of early curtailment; and

- 19 clubs felt that it was "too early to take decisions now" and that decisions on any C.V. related disruption should be considered later in the season.



03 Nov 2020 14:08:57
Interesting read tattie napper. My view is that at least 50% of the season should be complete before awarding titles, that way each team has played everyone home and away.
Interestingly 19 clubs want to see who’s top before deciding whether to award the title or not.



03 Nov 2020 14:18:42
I think we keep the season going until there is no time left to play the remaining games, I'd say maybe end of June, that should allow the players a few weeks off before the start of the new season.
No way should any games from a previous season be played in the current season as too many players could have been bought and sold.
Once we reach the cut off date whoever is top of the league is the winner.
Cups if not complete are void.



03 Nov 2020 15:32:53
Interesting post Spud ;)



03 Nov 2020 16:52:53
Commonsense has took a break from hooking our smelly friends on the other site 🤣🤣🤣good work mate 👍.



03 Nov 2020 17:38:44
Can you imagine clubs like Celtic, Edinburgh Celtic, Dundee Celtic and Aberdeen Celtic looking at the table and thinking that standings should be final? It shouldn’t even be going to a vote. It was decided last year what happens in the event of a shutdown. There will be some very squeaky bums out there at the moment!



03 Nov 2020 19:46:15
I genuinely can't help it sometimes Herwego55. Duffy is gash though and broony is done. The unwashed can't handle the truth.



03 Nov 2020 22:14:27
Derry donkey is hilarious to watch tbf 🤣🤣🤣.



03 Nov 2020 12:41:44
Had a wee look at teams from last night and looked like a full strength team from Benfica. Looks kike there good for a goal or 2 against them. If we can just keep a clean sheet we could get an upset and get away with 3 points. Draw would be a good result if we can get the win at Ibrox.



03 Nov 2020 13:48:30
Change of subject guys. I see the BAN HEADING THE Ball briigade are out in force. Nobby stiles dies, he had dementia and now Bobby Charlton has it. First, neither were great headers of the ball and can you imagine football without heading the ball, it would be farcical. A foul if you head the ball, if it's in the box it's a penalty.



03 Nov 2020 13:59:05
Benfia are on fire in europe its gonay be a long night if we play the way we did at killi.



03 Nov 2020 16:54:44
Agreed friar, impossible to police unless they also ban the ball going above shoulder height. They ban heading theyd be as well ending football.



03 Nov 2020 17:38:51
Defo DSG I don’t think we’ve been playing very well since Celtic and going forward we’ve been poor especially the front 3 no matter who has played. We seem to keep our best for Europe, has been like that since Gerrard came in. I, not as worried about Benfica as I was at the time of the draw or even before last Thursday. They’re last couple results give us hope. b.



03 Nov 2020 23:26:44
really can't compare how we do domestically and in europe. our style of football is more suited to european games than it is domestically. we tend to do better when teams come at us.



03 Nov 2020 12:30:34
This is the last I will post about the case of Edmundson and Jones. I am seeing Celtic fans saying we should be shut down for 2 weeks like them and Aberdeen. Some of them have even been decent and said that they know what Bolingoli did merited being shut down but Aberdeen players were caught before attending training so why are Rangers being commended. I will try to explain why briefly.

1) Bolingoli would have been required to self isolate and didn't. He played against Kilmarnock and potentially cross infected all his own team mates and also Kilmarnock players and staff. As there was close contact with whole Celtic squad then technically they had to shut down for 2 weeks.

2) Why our case differs from the Aberdeen 8 is as follows. Yes they did get caught before attending training but they all got tested and 2 came back positive. As they couldn't be sure that they got the virus on their night out they would have been in the presence of the whole squad prior to the night out so they all would have had to self isolate. Simple.

With the amount of testing that is now done George Edmundson and Jordan Jones will have returned a negative test prior to the Kilmarnock game so they DID NOT have C.V.. They then attended a party after the Kilmarnock game and did not mingle with any other Rangers player or staff member therefore there is no risk to the rest of the squad/ coaching staff which means no requirement to shut down for 2 weeks. Celtic fans are deluded and cannot see the difference in all 3 of the cases. Had they mixed with any other players or staff or had attended trying then absolutely we should be shut down for the next 2 weeks. We have been very very lucky because these 2 would have attended training had they not been caught. That is all it is, luck! However I understand that Celtic fans are feeling the pressure and will argue the case and put whatever spin they want on it. Ridiculous!



03 Nov 2020 12:47:00
Great post MOC,

Have a read of James Blacks say on the subject on Rangers news.

Got it down to a t as well my friend.



03 Nov 2020 13:03:30
Sensible post MOCBear in the mass hysteria breaking out on here!



03 Nov 2020 13:05:10
Well said, sick of this already. They are trying to constantly deflect from the actual football, because they are struggling lately. They would have nothing to talk about if it wasnt for us. I'm embarrassed for them for what some of them post.



03 Nov 2020 15:35:34
Really good post MOC.



03 Nov 2020 10:44:58
The facts are these 2 PLONKERS could have brought this terrible challenge into our squad. I find it so stupid and disrespectful.



03 Nov 2020 11:24:33
That's just an opinion.
The FACTS are they never. 👍.



03 Nov 2020 11:58:58
Cause the cops caught them though mr tottie. U must admit they would’ve went along with it if not caught mate.



03 Nov 2020 13:05:44
But they never. So the mass hysteria of what could have happened is cringe worthy, embarrassing and bordering on Tim behaviour to the full incident.
They've been punished by Rangers swiftly, Police and SFA. 👍.



03 Nov 2020 13:32:12
Tottieheid, You are trying to defend the indefensible and it’s embarrassing.



03 Nov 2020 14:03:41
I think what Mr Potatohead is trying to say is that they were caught doing wrong, the police punished them, the club swiftly and publicly punished them and they will no doubt be punished by the football authorities, the club haven't had to postpone any games etc so we get over it and move on.



03 Nov 2020 14:08:51
Again, need to get a grip. It has been dealt with.



03 Nov 2020 14:31:41
Thank goodness someone can read through the hypocritical mass hysteria and read a post correctly.
Thanks Jetmayfair. 👍.



03 Nov 2020 14:56:05
From the man who wants morelos out if he has an off day 🤣🤣🤣.



03 Nov 2020 15:30:14
I know herewego, he's priceless! 🤣.



03 Nov 2020 15:30:48
The facts are if the Police hadn’t caught them, the two of them would have been into training on Tuesday. Disappointed to say the word!



03 Nov 2020 15:47:00
But the Police did catch them Yately01.
So you and the rest of the Mass Hysteria Brigade are needing to calm down. 👍
The "what if" patter is cringe worthy and embarrassing.
If we lived on "what if's", we wouldn't get out the bed in the morning. 👍.



03 Nov 2020 19:44:33
Mr potato head only because they got caught. They r finished with me.



03 Nov 2020 08:32:42
Guarantee one of them was mocking the fact that they they were there drinking coronas when they they know they they weren't even meant to be at that party and what's the Vaseline on the table for?



03 Nov 2020 09:08:28
The Vaseline? What do you think border? Obvious I’d say 👍.



03 Nov 2020 10:56:55
Oh come on mate, what are you on about here? It's vaseline lip balm that's on the table, obviously used for chapped lips and nothing else. Look the pair deserve everything that's coming to them (I've made my feelings clear on what I think should happen) so they don't need anyone looking for things that aren't there to add to their woes!



03 Nov 2020 12:00:12
It’s a lip balm as BMG says. It’s bad enough without people adding to it lol.



03 Nov 2020 12:32:10
Just banter Igwt, I actual thought it might be for the spfl probe 😂 jokes aside we can either laugh or cry about this and because things have been going so well I'm going to laugh they were stupid they made a mistake JJ will be gone but the fridge should survive this imo.



03 Nov 2020 17:56:35
Think u could be right regarding fridge to an extent mate, I, said yesterday we won’t buy a new centre half with Katic due back. Edmundson will likely be kept till summer when a fully fit Katic takes his place in the 4 and he is moved on.



03 Nov 2020 19:46:23
Border blue, they did not make a mistake, they showed a blatant disregard for our club, managers and the support.
If they had not been caught by police do u think they would have told SG, the doctor they had totally disregarded rangers fc instructions.

I wonder what the reaction would have been if we had to forfeit Europa ties or had multiple players placed in isolation due to their disregard for our club.



03 Nov 2020 08:20:17
Ave seen a few people on social media asking the question if it was tav and barasic or morelos and goldson so on and so on had done what Jones and edmundson had done would people still want them sacked the fact is these guys wouldn't do it they wouldn't risk or do something as stupid as these two have done that's the difference Jones to me has a stinking attitude he's working has way back into first team contention and again his stupidity will cost him a am surprised at edmundson to be fair but the will just have to accept whatever punishment is handed to them.



03 Nov 2020 08:38:45
It doesn't matter who it is. 👍.



03 Nov 2020 08:43:21
Should make an example of jones and Edmundson not like the Tim's done with Griffiths and sweep it under the carpet.

Jones has a reputation for antics off field and Gerrard obviously doesn't have any plans for him with little sell on value and a bad attitude he should be released, Edmundson on the other hand may just have had the first strike he should be nowhere near first team and sent on loan in January and see what happens a further 6 months down the line whether he wants to cut out the carry on outside of football and concentrate on his rangers career the boy definately has some potential.
These guys are idiots will never be given another chance at a club like ours again, terrible attitudes especially Jones after Gerrard gave him another chance.



03 Nov 2020 10:34:10
I posted the news on the site yesterday morning before it broke in the media as I’d been told by a mate who’s a copper that 2 first team Rangers players had been issued with C.V. tickets at a house party, he didn’t give names but I said to him straight away “I bet one of them is Jordan Jones” low and behold Jones is involved, the boys maybe a good player, but time and again he has let himself down. Stinking attitude and Stevie G has seen this all the way through his time at the club. It’s a pity as the boy has some talent but he’s just constantly showing poor attitude and professionalism.

The club might not have the grounds to sack them but I would put my money on it that they will never play for Gerrard again. Be sent to train away from the 1st team until a suitable opportunity comes around to ship them on.

That’s not the sort of conduct I’d expect from young Edmundson, he’s a young boy, maybe easily lead but there’s no excuse. If you fly with the crows, you get shot with them unfortunately.



03 Nov 2020 10:37:26
Spot on Gazza,

That's the only defence we have when the biased SFA try to hand out extra punishment to Rangers FC.



03 Nov 2020 11:28:28
SFA have already confirmed only the players will be punished 👍.



03 Nov 2020 12:26:15
Yip I was surprised at that decision by sfa and also rangers being applauded by the snp government, perhaps it’s not a big conspiracy after all 😂 ye know it’s quirte Hilarious, I sometimes jump oan that Celtic page when am bored just fur a nosey at what’s happening over the city and they have the same theories against sfa, spfl, press, give it the hun, the daily ranger, the we give it daily rebel, it’s quite funny that both sets of fans have this big conspiracy theory’ that everyone’s against there club when in actual fact it’s just nae true. Imo obviously. Am sure I’ll get disagreements but I always find it funn, it’s like reading the same page only in green when the conspiracy conversation is being had.



03 Nov 2020 19:45:27
They've done something stupid gazza, but your usernames a tribute to a player who beat his wife to a pulp in a drunken rage when he played with us mate. I know what I would class as worse 🤷‍♂️ sell them in january but too many going way over the top.



03 Nov 2020 19:41:00
U sell whoever it is. Tav McGregor Morelos. Get them out off club.
U sack them they negotiate a large signing on fee elsewhere.



Review Of The Day 3rd October 2020

03 Nov 2020 07:39:05
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 3rd October 2020



03 Nov 2020 07:33:23
Just seen tabloids this morning about Jones and Edmondson not great headlines especially when we're doing so well on all fronts
2 players who obviously not thinking about anything other than themselves and the fact they barely have featured over the past couple seasons you would think they would be doing there all to keep there powder dry and doing all they can to stay fit and showing they want to play
Jordan Jones only this season has made his way back in.
Can't see anyway back for them both they had there chances and blown it by the looks of it
I certainly would t judge Gerrard if he gets shot of them both now
They obviously don't think playing g for rangers is important enough when they can do something so stupid and doing it knowingly that career could be in jeopardy if caught
Very disappointing!



03 Nov 2020 08:02:36
Like many of these overpaid, overrated footballers, their brains are in their underpants not their head. Get rid now and set an example.



03 Nov 2020 08:14:45
Exactly Doiger! I don't know why some are surprised at the actions of footballers nowadays? Too much money and no brains is a dangerous concoction.



03 Nov 2020 08:24:45
We need as much firepower as possible this season, no point leaving a hole in the squad.



03 Nov 2020 08:39:38
100% agree Doiger👍.



03 Nov 2020 10:26:19
Seriously Blue would do? Do you actually think Gerrard will ever play Jones again? He already barely trusted the guy as it was and has been actively trying to sell him for two windows but no one has bid for him (and rightly so as he’s a complete moron, and not a very good footballer either) . There is no way Jones will play for Gerrard again.



02 Nov 2020 23:39:57
oh dear clare sh~te is getting involved i hear, fetch the rope we will be hung out to dry, big peter crying foul again.
