Any news on rumours linking us with Adam Le Fondre?
No ur the only guy that posts about him... give it up. u tried to b clever but failed
Now now you moran, that was fitst time i have posted on here Was just looking bit of info so jog on
Whats a moran? is it Irish? {Ed001's Note - he used to play for Man Utd didn't he?}
04 Aug 2011 23:31:07
I don't think we need another 2 cb. We now have goian. Weir. Bartley. Papac for cover. Could do with one more but I'm hoping the other one can also play rb. Keep Whittaker on his toes. Or on the bench where he belongs after his performances. I think if anyone would take him we could use broadfoot as a bit of a make weight for someone. Don't really need him now tbh. We do need a creative midfielder and a left winger. If we sign a forward I don't think we need another right winger because Naismith is so much better playing from there and we have Ortiz. Just my opinions.
Agree 100%
I disagree, unfotunately. I, like most but obviously not all Bluenoses would like to see the squad rebuilt and taken back to the standard and level of skill we used to be at.
Replacement for Weir, no disrepect to our Captain but he is over the hill and whilst he's a brilliant defender, keeps our defence in check and is consistent/eperienced he just doesn't have the legs anymore plus this will be his last season so we need to replace him. Whittaker is versatile but so is excrement. Papac is very consistent but he also getting over the hill slightly. Too early to even ry and guess what Goin is like, as one game isn't enough to judge. If when Bougy goes there's another CB needed instantaneously.
Goian and Wallace seem ok, papac is consistent, Bartley is a great young prospect, Whittaker and Clubfoot are dire...We need two CB's, in my honest opinion.
Shagger
Ortiz Goian Bartley Papac/Wallace
Wylde Davis Ness Mcculloch
Naismith
Jelavic Lafferty
Twelve in starting line up?
''Twelve in the starting line up?'' Yup, I think it's required That should have read ''Ness/Mcculloch'' btw
Please get rid of Broadfoot, he's no good.
04 Aug 2011 23:30:24
Ithink if we get another central defender in bartley should be played cm with davis he has all the qualities of mc culloch but he is faster better at going forward and has a good eye for a pass anyone agree
No. I'm of the thinking. Defenders should be in defence. Midfielders should be in midfield. Just think we need someone to create chances and can score a few. Don't get me wrong. Bartley is probably better than any of our holding midfielders but again he is probably now our best cb.
04 Aug 2011 23:28:02
We may have got Bartley, but I want the other signing still that Whyte promised, not saying Bartley aint good or anything, just want to see Whyte keep to his word and improve the squad WATP BillyBlue73
Bartley is just aloan so need at least 3-4 more players signed not loans
04 Aug 2011 23:22:04
Come on fellow bears its time to get behind our team lets be the twelve man again. Great news bartley has signed hopefully a few more will follow give ally time to build his own squad then judge him on results remember its lemon who is in charge of them he is useless we have sir ally at the reigns worth twenty neil lemons
Here here well said.
Hope so too
04 Aug 2011 23:12:59
think that we have a better chance of getting wesley verhoek as ado den haag were eliminated from the europa.
I hope so, looks class
04 Aug 2011 23:07:30
Erimenko to sign in the next couple of days watch this space source: killie youngster and before yous say i know he's not playing there any more
Eastcornerbear18
04 Aug 2011 23:05:43
bartley defo signed > mccoist made statement on rangers website. does that mean no carlos ao juraze(spelling ed) surely we dont need both so could spend money on attacking midfielders.
Could still do with one more. Bartley good as a holding midfielder. Rather see him at centre half. Good big strong ch now.
Yes bartly holding midfielder, boogie and edu kin get tae feck
04 Aug 2011 23:01:56
Despite the exit from the Champions League, if we can get Verhoek, Juhasz, Bedoya and a couple of other attaking players we could quite possibly be lookin at winning the Europa League.
Oh my god.........................
04 Aug 2011 22:58:54
I believe Whylde and McCoist have had an argument over his new contract and is refusing to play him to the detriment of the team.
Only reason i can think of not playing him in the last two games
Davie D
Young wylde was reportedly only offered £800 a week not that great an offer when Ness and Hutton are on £3k a week personally canny blame the boy for being a bit miffed about it
04 Aug 2011 22:58:40
Posted about 5 days ago that Bartley would be back and had about 5 unbelievables - I thank you
Danna
I have said he would be back all along to so it wasnt me who said unbelievable
Dont believe u
Swampies travel in packs Danna
No u didnt danna are u marvins chick ??
Do u want a medal pal????
04 Aug 2011 22:58:10
I think the 6 offers we have placed include
Bartley Loan (confirmed 12 months)
Cuellar £1.5-2m
Roland Juhanz £2.75
Thomas Verhoek (spelling?) £1.5m
Rhys Murphy loan
Jamie Murphy from Motherwell £1.1m
And Bedoya early (already pre contract)
Still need a creative CMid but I don't think we will sign Juhansz and Cuellar esp having Goian and Bartley aswell as Weir and both Broadfoot and Papac apparant natural CB's
Think we have been decent in last couple of games obv Shittaker and Big heed Bougie done us in but still thought we are looking better with each game.
SuperAlly 4 in a Row
Gwak1873
Thomas Verhoek? That Wesley's imaginary brother?
Rhys murphy is free so why the loan ??

RANGERS have clinched a deal to bring Kyle Bartley back to Ibrox - and he could face Chelsea on Saturday.
The official site can reveal that Arsenal have agreed to let the young defender join Rangers on loan for the season and he will arrive at Murray Park tomorrow.
Bartley, of course, had a loan spell with the Light Blues last season when he arrived in the January window and played an important role in the early months of the year,
He scored a vital goal at New St Mirren Park when Rangers were struggling with injuries and he also played in the Europa League.
Unfortunately he suffered a knee injury against PSV Eindhoven which put him out for the rest of the campaign.
However, he fully recovered and took part in Arsenal's pre-season campaign.
Ally McCoist made no secret that he was keen to land his man and now the 20-year-old centre back is returning to Ibrox.
There is still some paperwork to tie up but all things being equal Bartley will be involved against Chelsea on Saturday.

an abba classic in honour of FPLG
# Did you see the shame in Malmo?
# I remember long ago a night in Kaunas just like this
# Well the fans were banned in Malmo,
# No humming of the Sash or softly turning over cars
# I could hear all the manky shame
# at home, all call for Ally's head from bars
# They were close for a while in Malmo
# Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
# I was so afraid for Malmo
# The jammy shame so often manage somehow to scrape by
# And I'm not ashamed to say
# The longed-for final whistle almost made me cry
# There was something in the air that night,
# A Glesca flight, from Malmo
# It was Rangers oot the Champions League, sans dignity, in Malmo
# Though we never thought that they could lose, their second leg,
# If they lose another game again,
# Fat Paul Le Guen gets banjoed.
Great lyrics, can't wait to see rangers fans attempts most of them can't spell or understand proper english {Ed047's Note - your post isn't funny but you're hilarious

We should go for Rotherhams Adam Le Fondre. He's a skillfull forward who scores plenty of goals and playing in Div 2 would be used to getting lumps kicked out of him if he came to the spl. I think he would be a 'Hooper' for us. Rotherham have said they want 1.5 mill but I'm sure Bears would offer...half that? Put it this way He'd score alot more than some EPL players in Scotland like Diouf for example.
When are where did they say 1.5M? I read an article, where they were offered 200K for him and said they would need 250K...so 1.5M is quite a stretch...and 1.5M for a 2nd Div player? Hmmmmm.

Wheres bartley in this list..hes just signed for the season
By murphy you's do no it's rhys murphy the 20yr old arsenal striker who's currently on trial, jamie murphy is a rumour and personally i dont think he's the answer, the arsenal lad would do a job

I can't wait for the draw, I hope we get a decent side from France, or maybe Holland, I'd fancy our chances. I'll take anyone though and hey BEARS I can't wait for the Dhims to go f**king CRASHING OUT again for a third straight season... they're very own 3 in a row
04 Aug 2011 21:55:19
with all the rumours going about why dont we put our "War Chest" to good use and buy a couple of quality players instead of scraping the barrel.They should have someone out in Africa picking up the raw talent and work the old Ajax way, but then again I have seen some of the players our scouting system has produced Luurup should have been at ibrox the man had everyhing and what a roll model.Seems we are destikned to be a big fish in a little pond
Who?? Brian Laudrup would slap you silly ya tit
Ibrox is full of tits and seems you could well be the biggest one
04 Aug 2011 21:48:33
i really cant understand why people on here are blaming dundee utd for us not getting david goodwillie it is simply down to craig whyte as he was told for months before any other team made a bid for him pay 2m and use can have him do u honestly think if a team offerd us 12m for jelavic then another team offerd us 5.5m we would accept the 5.5m haha its craig whytes fault the guy isnt going to spend big he is just a liar simple as that
Rangers offered more up front cash than blackburn
leggoland2blogspot.com
source David Leggat most respected writer on Follow Follow couple of cracking stories on his blog worth reading if you have the time
04 Aug 2011 21:34:11
just because craig whyte says we have six offers for players a the moment doesn't mean we are close to signing anyone. more than likely tomorrows headlines will be from six chairmen describing our bids as "ridiculously low". stop the talking whyte we only need to hear about these offers when they have been accepted and the players have agreed to join us
Did Mr Whyte start by saying "Once upon a Time"?

If we miss out on verhoek, juhasz, Bartley, murphy etc n the only signins wev made cum 1st sept r unknowns for very little cash. Wot do u think the reaction will b from fans, protests etc? Let me know ur opinions
04 Aug 2011 20:59:19
Ok so Craig Whyte announced in the papers in the last few weeks that Ally has 15million to downs on players. To date we've spent 2.3million with the money coming in from Bougerra circa 1.5million. Total outlay 800k. So cam someone tell mr why wages or the resigned players are coming into anything? Aren't they paid for over the duration of time by our ticket sales? Whyte is a spin doctor
We also got money for charlie adam.
Whats about the extra cash we got for the charlie adam sale plus bougy is going for 3 million.
bigstevie
Boughy is goin for 1.7
Rangers spend:
Ortiz - 500k
Goian - 800k
Wallace - 1.5m
Bedoya - free
Cash in - Adam money - 850k
Net spend around 2m so far
04 Aug 2011 20:53:21
I think we just need juhasz , verhoek
barton and vela forget the rest they
might look good on the bench but better off
the wage bill at least these players will make an impact on the team and who knows what heroes may emerge edu at right back maybe odonker and bedoya looks the part whittaker jack of all trades
master of none..nuisance value diouf
Your heads in the clouds pal. now we have bartley, 1 of cuellar and juhasz MAY be signed. verhoek wont happen and as for the other two, im speechless worried bear :/
04 Aug 2011 20:51:04
Guys, guys, guys. We've got off on the wrong foot here. I have never once been on here and been offensive to any1 or spoke of THE rangers in a derogatory manner. Its a sad day when u cant say that a team needs a considerable amount of improvement without folk all jumping down ur throat. Rangers have some very good players. McGregor, Davis, Naismith, Jelavic is top drawer. Never once did I belittle any of Rangers achievements over the last 3 years. If all u guys were being honest, i just hit a nerve.
Drew
Your just here for a wind up Drew. That's all. I can tell by the way you are writing. It's not hard. You think your team are better. Facts prove rangers (my team) are better. That's it. Yeah we need to add to our squad. Who doesn't? Man city are still adding to there's, Barcelona to there's and so on. Every team adds to there squad. Your team is not as good as rangers. That is a simple fact. NS sparky72

Loyalty these days is to pounds and pence.
04 Aug 2011 20:49:22
perhaps we should have taken more notice of the outgoing board about Mr W, I really fear for the future with this guy at the helm. for one, why would he announce to the press how much McCosit woulld be given to spend, it just pushes up the price, the Goodwillie situation was so embarrising, cueller we are having a laugh, verhoek no chance,
as for ally, why a new deal for Healy and Kerkar when they will never play.
Davidson is not good enough, the german on trial is to much of a risk, Murphy would be decent but only at right price, we urgently need 1RM at least 1 AM, 2CB and CF , so how about G Boyd, A Bikey, D Wilson(loan) D Cowie, J Murphy, B Robson, R snodgrass,
out, plze Boogie, edu, broadfoot,
Wow, ur really smart why dont u become manager? NOT
The german is on trial because he is high risk but I tell you what if he passes his trial he will be an asset. Anyone with pace like his is.
Add our ever reliable right back (not) to the out list, he is absolutely tosh
bigstevie
I think we need centre mid players 1s who can hold an play th ball forward edu is utter carp mcculloch is steady but not th kind of player we need in ther 2 help davis th wee man canny do it all hisel
Why do some fans think we have to go for average championship players? We are a good team we don't need average players we need quality.
04 Aug 2011 20:33:04
Ed a hope you post this mate as a beleive every rangers fan should boycott our away games at tannadice this season that stephen thompson hinks hes a fly arse knocking bids that are the same as blackburns back we'll see how his teams finances do when the bears dont turn up
Frankie. {Ed047's Note - I will, but I don't condone boycott talks
We cannot blame all of this on United. If we had bid what they want early we would have got the chance to talk to Goodwillie. It is the fault of our board for taking 7 bids to match the offer 0 we knew the offer after about 3 bids so why waste time, and piss people off, with the other 4 - just bid what Utd wanted if we seriously wanted him
If we had payed the asking price at the start we would have got him instead of ***** about . boycotts only harm the team
Listen....Thompson is a bam, but he's quite entitled to take the p*** out of us, the way we've conducted our business.
Let's say that you are 100% correct, and as you say, Rangers ''matched'' Blackburns offer.....why then should Thompson sell to us at the 'same' price, then have Goodwillie play against them, if i was him, i'd sell at the 'same' price to the team in England...that's good business.
The blame is at our door, not Thompsons.We could have went in earlier, paid the dosh, and got the player.
Boycot's.....don't talk so much s**** man. How embarrassing would that look, The mighty Gers in a 'huff' cause they wouldn't sell us a player, we would be the laughing stock.
The transfer debacle is our fault and our fault alone.
Whyte's problem is, that he can't get rid of his venture capitalist head.....he's too used to buying things on the cheap and making a profit.....he's in a different ball game now.
Very good comment the above 1, how can anyone blame utd when whyte is the only one to blame

He is a total spinster, should work for the government this guy. He is just coming out again with what we all want to hear, its time for actions not talking...
He done the exact same thing before.. All talk to take the heat off of him.
LESS TALK MORE ACTION. When i see them in a rangers top i will believe it. Still make the club look like a laughing stock still has in my opinion only bought ONE first team player.. Wallace.. Goian wont get a game ahead of a cuellar or juhasz... Bedoya isnt in yet so cant judge.

Many Mistakes made recently and fast lessons need to be learned, some suggestions or tips...
1 Don't annouince nor confirm Transfer rumours or speculation in the press
2 If you want to buy a player - buy them and make a real offer, after all this is not an auction for an old sofa and Mr Whyte needs to learn it is a "business" like no other (i.e. barely if ever turns a profit).
3 Work better with what you have - it's called coaching and training
4 Get tactics, including substitutions better
5 Acquire a creative midfeilder; a solid centre half, a winger with pace and / or a penalty box striker
6 Search the French and German (lower half) of the leagues and get in early for players
7 Make sure some one wants to play for Rangers before they sign and tell them what the club is all about and the potential it has.
8 Start winning in style in the spl - put a marker down early {Ed047's Note - On point 1, Clubs have no control over this. Once talks begin, the agents talk to the press to make other clubs aware in the hope a bidding war starts. Bigger fee, bigger cut.
I agree on all the points the scouting network is a joke and needs to be looked at
04 Aug 2011 19:07:36
after super couldnt control himself and the players at porkhead in the scottish cup match how does he expect his players to behave after seeing his total lack of restraint that evening?after watching the match the lack of discipline of certain players was shocking and have cost the club 15 million, under walter rangers would have finished the match with 11 men, super has the fans respect but in all honesty im not convinced he has the players.any thoughts guys?
Jog on timmy ur talking utter BS there back to the runners up page plz -
So super never lost it that night?walter held him back remember, bougy never manhandled the ref after a red card, diouf never disgraced himself that night either, remember ally was in charge that nite also, in your book the lack of discipline never caused the rangers to lose 15 million last nite, i deal with the truth mate, the above did actually happen, usual jog on timmy when you cant handle an opinion, bet you booed our team off the park already this season.
{Ed047's Note - first it was about McCoist then you brought Bougherra and Diouf in because somebody had the audacity to respond. If you feel that strong about discipline I strongly urge you to begin at home and your own manager. When you finish that, look at the assistant Mjallby and your club captain and ask yourself where the discipline was there.
04 Aug 2011 18:59:06
Lets make it our mission to spread the word that we want Eremenko, He would add some class to the midfield, we can afford him. So lets get it on Rangers forums, Facebook and make sure the word is out that the fans want him. WATP
Eremenko stated he can make far better cash abroad than he could at either side of the old firm lad, quote from the man himself.
He is fat an slow an not good enough
Your a man down with eremenko when we've not got the ball he's too lazy.

I have been critical of mr whyte lately because of the goodwillie saga but i have thought about what he is trying to do and i agree, in the most part, if this is what he is trying to do.
What i believe whyte is trying to do is to gradually biuld up a quality squad over 4-5 years and make us a force to be reckoned with rather than signing average players on long deals, get one or two quality players on longer deals in and some cheap two year squad players that could be loanees that will leave at the end of their contracts.
just what ive thought but it may not be right.
Ur right with ur thought it aint right {Ed047's Note - absolutely right, right?

Why not get Ray Wilkins in to give Coisty a hand, as a director of football.
He's available, played in Italy, England, Scotland, operated for 15 years at the top level as assisstant and coach in the Premiership, would cost next to f*** all, and i bet he'd jump at the chance.
Was watching the game last night with a couple of journalist pals (who you'd know) and my mate flung the Wilkins thing in, and all 6 of us thought it would be a great shout. {Ed047's Note - where have you been? This was discussed frequently in here last week
HOW ABOUT FORGET WILKINS & GET WHYTE TO GET THE MONEY OUT, THAT WILL DEFO HELP ALLY MORE THAN WILKINS.....
Who you'd know u dont even sign ur post pal so jog
K
Isn't gordon smith director of football? great signing that was, bring back bain, face it lads he is missed when it comes to transfers
04 Aug 2011 18:47:46
Has there been any update on the Cuellar situation as he would be a great addition so we could drop Whitty to the bench and my back four would be Wallace -Lb Goian -Cb Papac -Cb Cuellar -Rb. What you think ed??
Derek Bear {Ed047's Note - after last night I'd play Naismith in the back four if it meant a seat on the bench for him. Cuellar situ still the same. Offer's there and just waiting. They say there is no hurry because he's still recovering
04 Aug 2011 18:47:43
If Rangers sign Murray Davidson, we can lock the doors of Murray Park and throw away the key.
Are you telling me that Davidson is better than Hutton, Fleck, or Ness? and that we don't have anyone with 'at least' similar ability at Murray Park........if that is the case, then , honestly guys....we can forget it and throw away the Murray Park key. Is it now the case that some fans are wanting 'any' signings, even if they are not any better than what we have.........seems like it.
Murray davidson would be a squad player can play a couple of roles i for 1 woundnt mind him coming in- i agree that alot of fans just want new faces in and this isnt the way but if ally puts youngsters in and doesnt get the results again the moaners would be out calling for him to go
We need players who can go straight in the team and make a difference, we have signed enough players who don, t feature, Healy, Beattie, Kerker to name a few
Agree about not signing Davidson and get rid of fleck waste of a wage has proved on numerous occasions hes a dud
04 Aug 2011 18:43:07
When are you going to wake up and smell the coffee? Half the team should have been sent off. No discipline. They weren't in it to win it. Macgregor is very unhappy with things, admitting there were other factors other than poor discipline. These other factors are that the players aren't happy with what's going on. I'm not sure why though
Totally agree with folks that Papac is a brilliant defender. He is just as good as David Weir, and much quicker too, and does well in attack. As for Whittaker, I can't rate him well in defence. He's for the midfield. Papac should be on Whittakers wage, however Papac is a true professional.
I agree with alot of that mate papac is class act-whitty now needs to show why the club have some much faith in him
04 Aug 2011 18:39:57
Time to give Broadfoot a shot at right back i think he can't be any worse than whittaker, time for him to have a spell on the bench Ally has to show him who's boss and won't take fools gladly.
In some games I have been impressed by broadfoot. He can do a goodshift. Not sure he's the best but is an ok squad player for when needed.
04 Aug 2011 18:34:40
Guys, can we seriously get a grip Im as dissapointed as everyone else that we haven't got champions league football to look forward too, but honestly were starting to sound like Celtic fans on here.......Whyte this.......Whyte that, McCoist this and McCoist that Does anyone really want us to go down the same route as when Murray was here and pay over the odds?? Goodwillie cost rovers close to £3 million and the boy has only scored 29 goals in 117 league games......John Sutton moved to hearts on a free and in the same SPL as goodwillie he scored 32 in 98 league games for motherwell Big Kyle Lafferty cost us £3 million and has a better scoring record than Goodwillie, I havent seen anyone say that he was worth the cash I honestly feel like Rangers are finally doing what they should have years ago and have decided to stop letting clubs mess us about I think that we will make signing and get some good players in, but lets be patient, no point in paying over the odds for players and no point in bringing in players for the sake of it
Wait a minute mate, everybody was loving it when murray was buying guys like gazza, laudrup, goram, flo etc etc, remember murray paid vast sums of cash for these guys and large wages too.now onto whyte, how can you compare the deals on offer to players in the same breath as murrays output, im talking reasonable amounts of cash to boost the squad not deals that could hamper rangers moving forward, murray was guilty of being a fan and owner at the same time, can whyte honestly say the same?if whyte hasnt got serious cash to move rangers forward why did he buy the club in the first place?i for one seriously doubt his financial clout.
I said last week rangers should have went for john sutton and i got pelters for it
John Sutton is pure p***, get your acts together for f*** sake.
Would you play him through the middle instead of Lafferty, or do you just want a squad player to boost the numbers, cause that's what he would be....he's a league 1 player at best.
04 Aug 2011 18:29:46
What I got fae the statement is he wants players fae the former English pre league
04 Aug 2011 18:25:15
I have to say along with some of my fellow gers sasa was superb at centre back last night, jela was very good as well if whitts hadnt let the side down early on we could of offered jela more support and we would still be in the cl, please lads we are moving forward give ally time he s one of us, whyte has alot to learn and he will get better to, now he has to come good with player delivery, weve everything to play for i think by jan we could have the best gers side for a while-walter spoilt us doing so well with what he had-get behind the club and ally- lets cheer them on it will lift the players no end to see and hear that we are the people
04 Aug 2011 18:07:01
just been reading some of the earlier posts re: last night, obviously highlighted our need for fresh faces, but maybe not in the positions previously thought, here goes;
GK. Greegs, Alexander
RB After last night Edu, Whittaker back up
CB. Goain, McCulloch/Weir/Papac
LB. Wallace/Papac
RM. Ortiz (Listen please Ally), Naissy
CM. Davis, Ness/McCulloch/Bedoya(get him now)
LM. Verhoeck (LISTEN MR WHYTE)/ Wallace
ST. Jelavic/Lafferty/Naissy/Healy
with this squad and if Odonker/Murphy from Arsenal turn out ok, add davidson from Saints maybe Murphy from Well far too good for the manky mob, remember my fellow bears we are the mighty GLASGOW RANGERS
sid
Is Murray Davidson better than Kyle Hutton or John Fleck who you don't have in your squad.
Davidson is a very very mediocre footballer.
Fleck isnt a good player does bugger all game after game yet gets hype-davidson is better than him- hutton and ness i like so 2 hemmings and the lad cole, cole should get a chance at rb
Are you serious fleck has hardly kicked a ball for the first team since the bs about him being the next rooney. he needs an attitude reajustment. years loan to blackpool sounds great. davidson is great wee solid allround player. do you even watch football.
Argue with Ian Durrant then, since you know all about football....Durranty say's that Fleck is the best he's been involved with at Murray Park.
Remember he's only '''19''', needs guidance i agree, but Murray Davidson better than ness, Hutton or anyone else at Murray Park, you're having a laugh man
I think i know the one who knows nothing about football, if you think Davidson is a Rangers player....your a total numpty.....where's he gonna play again, tell me {Ed047's Note -
Fleck is a training ground wonder has had more trials than the old bailey and failed miserably in every one maybe time for some new ideas at murray park
04 Aug 2011 17:58:23
who we gettin in europa
Ra shellick
04 Aug 2011 17:53:41
Craig whyte will back rangers now that he's seen how annoyed people are getting about missing out on targets, but at the same time we can't keep getting our hopes up on 'big' players being signed because that wont happen. Give ally and mr whyte some time people please, ally will be rangers manager untill he retires and whyte saved us from pretty much going into administration, get on there backs when we win the league again.
04 Aug 2011 17:27:17
On BBC teletext that rangers made a fantastic bid for DG, but only did they make offer whilst he was undergoing medical at Blackburn. Why if they were prepared to spend that money why was it not done weeks ago. May make the difference between beating malmo. We bought three or four players after the kaunas fiasco. Now white is promising there will be more coming in, too little too late
This makes no sense at all and it will be much harder now to attract players for the europa league. That qualifier is fast approaching, so get the finger out.
04 Aug 2011 17:19:18
anyone know if there is a deadline coming up to sign players for the europe league games im sure i read in paper that lennon was rushing to try get players in for europe league deadline ..well if it is then ally will surely need to get a couple in pronto ....bigt
There was no 'big push' to get players in for the champions league so i don't thing they will treat this any differently.
A week on monday mucker
Monday it is
04 Aug 2011 17:47:00
Hello ed, Jst heard from my m8 that gers have 6 bids in Just now, his source he sed was ssn, not sure if it's true, u know anyfing about it?
04 Aug 2011 17:28:12
Ed do u Think Carlos vela would be a good signing or maybe try and get him on loan {Ed025's Note - vela is very good...but his wages may be a problem..
He'd do a job for us as a finisher - would be a fantastic partner for Jelavic's strenght and flick ons. I agree wages would be a problem and i have also heard he's eithe rin Wengers plans or at least needs EPL experience... Very unlikely to happen i'm afraid.
04 Aug 2011 17:16:43
Why shd we believe anythin whyte says in statements, I dont believe a single word the guy says.
F*** off then we dont need part time surpports like you we are people
What realists? Get a grip
Part time?just because he doesnt trust whyte, remember the millions murray pumped into the club, bet you wanted murray to f*** off as you put it.
I agree with the 1st reply-we will get better instead of down talk get behind the team and ally-remember whyte has stopped the rot murray allowed to set in lloyds are out of the picture
I think we should give whyte to the end of the transfer window. i know he's made mistakes in bidding for sum players. but he is new to this think after yesterday he realises that too watp mark.
Murray put in what millions. he borrowed it from the banks against the clubs name. whyd you think we ended up in so much debt. he allowed his heart to rule his head. everybody needs to start manning up and stop acting like the runners up. we must and will stick together. this is one of the biggest transitions we've ever went through so patience please guys. for the sake of the image of our record breaking club. watp {Ed047's Note - he wanted what we all wanted, Euro success. Nobody complained at the time
04 Aug 2011 17:16:00
Ed how come Celtic fans are constantly coming on this RANGERS website and criticizing us for not signing some players or tht we r out of europe or tht we sing sectarian songs? Every player we miss out on, they miss out on because they try to sign every player we do. It's their fault we weren't auto through to the group stages because all of their euro runs have been absolutely pathetic. And they are now singing songs about the ira at every game but they never get punished by UEFA because i'm starting to think that UEFA hate and always look for reasons to punish Rangers but turn a blind eye to Septic. {Ed025's Note - these sort of things happen all the time to local rivals, everton liverpool...man utd man city....sunderland newcastle..etc..its best to ignore it, because rising to the bait, makes things worse..
Calm doon pal ffs talk about para? uefa don't give a toss about us or them.
04 Aug 2011 17:39:59
Even if Ally does fail to win the league I'll back him, more than some people can say, the one thing however, I wonder if Whyte will give him the money. I really hope he does for youse, me and most importantly Ally W.A.T.P Keep the faith bears BillyBlue73
04 Aug 2011 17:30:35
SSN Craig whyte says we have 6 offers out at the moment for players. Who are they then?
04 Aug 2011 16:51:39
Craig Whyte statement on Rangers website, I suggest all fellow bears log in and have a read, he talks about signing policy and guarantees that new faces will arrive before the end of transfer window, , he also blames the selling clubs for not making decisions quick enough but if he made the right offer 1st time round then maybe we would have new players instead of trying to penny pinch on every deal.
Its easy to say new faces will arrive but thAt could mean any old dross. Not convinced by ebeneezer whyte. If you have no confidence to invest in rangers mr whyte why should we.
Can someone cut and paste CW's statement.
Cos quite a few of us can only see his Picture but no text. (on the Gers site) Seems to be a fault for some of us : (
BristolBear
Well mr whyte go out and buy ADO winger and the Anderlecht centerback and a decent midfielder [not davidson] and we will win the league and you will get the CL money..............
Y is everyone saying we should bid the full amount straight away because if we done that then we would have no money again. mr whyte is trying to do his job. he should not have made the same bid twice though.
weeblue
Eh isn't it gordon smiths job to deal with transfers?not seen him for a while
Weeblue does Goodwillie ring any bells perhaps
04 Aug 2011 16:51:36
dont see why we bid over 2m for david goodwilliebut didnt think to bid 2m on a much better player called dj campbell.
Dj campbell has no consistency and disruptive in dressing room, defo not what we need
1 decent season in years not a proven player at all has gone from club to club and failed at most
He signed for qpr old thing
04 Aug 2011 16:54:38
miller could have taken us in to the championa league.wee did not save money wee lost it by beeing tight , they wiil say it is prudence 15 million pound down the drain , won the league for nothing, well done mr, white the miser big basherl
Miller left us he wanted money and only would of comeback to suit himself and his needs- move on
04 Aug 2011 16:54:31
Surely we should be asking sir awex if he's up to loaning u's either wellbeck or macheda either one will do a job for u's up front with jela?
04 Aug 2011 16:53:45
Been thinking we should utilise Edu at right back as he had his best game in a Gers shirt for a long time in that position last night. He also plays the majority of his games for USA at right back. This might give Whittaker the kick up the backside he clearly needs at the moment. I rate the guy but he obviously thinks he's untouchable as we have no cover for his position. Keep him out for a few games and try Edu in there.
Edu has played mostly beside Bradley in mid for USA. Play Edu instead of McCulloch and we WILL see the best of him.
04 Aug 2011 16:43:43
Aw naw we didn't get miller, conway or cuellar. That's it the leagues celtics. Just like the last 3 years when we've been written off What we need to do is go and get an international striker who has played in the epl and serie a all his days and pay his excessive wages for half a season and that will guarentee the title...wait a minute did some diddy team no try that a few years ago n what was the outcome? All we need is a the cb from anderlecht, davidson, vehroek and murphy. No big name players just a few lads to join our squad of champions. WATP
Maybe some loan players from the epl that dont make their teams 25 players.

Sorry Ed019 I was not going to post this but after all the comments ENJOY
Tell all the GERS Fans you KNOW
They were beaten by WEE MALMO
The GERS fans wer'nt THERE
They were BANNED by F.A.R.E.
Now they just want Ally to GO
Hail hail timalloy {Ed019's Note - haha, think youve got too much time mate!
Cheers Ed019 for posting it - Bears BE Gentle Timalloy {Ed047's Note - he's too soft wi you Tim.

unfortunately due to that error i wont tell anyone which is a GREAT shame.
04 Aug 2011 15:58:35
just wanted to know everyones opinion on transfers,
i know a certain mr white promised funds to super ally but i wondered why dont we at least look at the amount of free agents available. im sure that some of those guys would do a cracking shift at ibrox.
ie. defence - upson
midfield - boa morte
barton
up front - carew
just to name a few. i know i would like to see some money spent but wanted to know how yourself and fellow gers fans felt
Boa morte signed for a team in greece u really shd do homework be4 making daft comments all the rest no chance 2 much wages
T-Bear
Upson, , injury and mistake prone, , boa morte?must be about forty, , barton, 60 grand a week, , carew moody blue and finished, , does that clear it up for you
04 Aug 2011 15:30:12
Ally is our manager, he has more than earned his chance. However i feel he could really do with some help from above and i don't mean god. I cant believe we went for G Smith, he bombed at the SFA, he is a pundit pure and simple. Someone like Wilkins, Souness or Graham Taylor etc would be a huge help to him. I know its unlikely, but what do we think
04 Aug 2011 15:20:00
evreybody moans about ally mcoist not playing wylde but he doesn't want it to be another fleck by people putting to much pressure on the boy and then he ends up not being able to cope so let the boy just slowly get himself into the team before yous know it he will be playing all the time
Hes 19 fleck was 16-17 when he got the chance utter P ur talking he aint playing him coz he aint siigned a new deal
Is wylde not 20
04 Aug 2011 15:13:18
were gonna win the league this year mcoist is gonna make sure of that cmon the gers support super ally he is the man with a plan everybody get behind him and roar our team to victory
campbell
04 Aug 2011 15:06:50
What's with ''timalloys'' big statement lol, it's laughable. I'm all for friendly banter and wouldn't abuse Celtic fans or go out my way to say anything offensive but if he's not happy with the way some Rangers fans may respond to the fact he feels the need to come on a Rangers page then simply stay off it. Sounds like someone who sends every hour of everyday sitting on the internet to me lol.
In other news, ROLL ON THE EUROPA :D
Roland Juhasz come to Ibrox.
04 Aug 2011 14:52:17
Anyone else think we're giving Edu to much of a hard time, the guys WORLD class, if only Coisty would give him a chance in his preferred position of in goal
Play him at right back. Get Whittaker tae feck.
''world class'' you need help mate.....give me a bell and i'll text u the number of a good shrink called Dr Metcalfe....he'll sort you man.
He is absolutely shocking
Just noticed your in goal bit, but you still need to visit the 'good boy' Dr
Not So Sure About "WORLD CLASS", But I Would Defo Have Him In At Right Back Coz Whitty Is Mince And He Showed Against Malmo That He's Actually Not Bad Playing In This Position.
I Do Also Think This Could Be The Changing Of Edu's Form If Given The Chance In This Position

04 Aug 2011 14:38:29
rumour is that rangers are oot the champions league anybody else heard this
Rumour has it . also rumour has it septic never got a sniff cause there chak.
Rumour is Celtic were never even in the Champions league.
Rumour is you must be a person if you never knew this wasn't a rumour. Bye bye
Rumour is rangers were not even in the Champions league in the first place as it in the qualifying round we have just been defeated so it would be hard to be "oot"Another septic fan needing an education
The FACT is celtic are crap
Rumour is, the Dhims CRASHED OUT of four Euro qualifiers in two seasons......World record SSSSSSHH, LMAO
04 Aug 2011 14:29:34
To All Bears Going to Chelsea Game:
Lets all get behind Ally, the guy is a Rangers legend and needs time to find his feet, we played pretty well against the odds last night and we were let down by stupidity and a poor referee.
9 guys on the park worked their socks off for 90minutes. This is our team, we are the people, lets stand up and be counted. This could be the kick up the ar5e we've been needing, 4 in a row will be ours
Bazza Bear
Sorry i have to pull u up here mate. Granted Malmo shud have had a player sent off just b4 half time but Mcculloch was lucky to stay on for the challenge that sparked it all off. Edu shud have went not long after whittaker for flinging both arms and Naismith shud have bn sent off for exactly the same thing as Whittaker went for. Uz got more than ur fair share off that referee last night.
Drew
Well said Bazza i'm hoping all the negative press towards McCoist will get the fans even more behind him. I'll be there singing Super Ally all the way. In McCoist We Trust
Billyboy1
I accept that he is a legend, but a good footballer doesn't always make a good manager, we'll have to wait and see. but in the meantime, cut the guy some slack.
Well said mate rangers played well and l think with a little time a couple new faces we will fine no surrender
Well said bazza and billyboy, i'll also be there cheering on the champs 4IAR
weeblue
Drew utter P what about the foul just be4 they scored so juststay off our page when u aint got anything sensible to say
04 Aug 2011 14:25:44
Was on here last night obviously upset about the result and had a go at Ally. Emotions running high and all that I didnt believe Ally had what it takes to take Rangers forward from this but to be honest he is probably the only man who can. This guy knows his stuff hes took on a new job and like anyone in a new job is still settling into his new role , he'll know more than anyone where mistakes have been made. We have a man in charge who has only got Rangers best interests at heart and will not have our club taking steps back, the last thing he needs is pressure from fans.
Well done for coming back on mate. We need to all get behind McCoist theres been a lot of negative press for McCoist and he probably needs a wee lift from the crowd.
Billyboy1
Awwwwwwwwwwwww.poor wee sally.
04 Aug 2011 14:24:47
I was just in Asda Govan and saw Mr Whyte, Gordon Smith and Thomas Hitzlsperger in McDonalds having what looked like a business meeting.
Could this be the big signing we're all hoping for?
WATP
4IAR
Ha ha Ronald McDonald will sign in the next 48 hours {Ed019's Note - whyte has offered him the all the toys oot the three happy meals.
I can confirm that I also seen this and Mr Whyte was telling everyone that he would get everyone a happy meal and then didn't buy a thing
Then Ronald McDonald threw him out
Double cheeseburger upfront and Large chips + Fanta in add-ons
Who paid bet it wasnt whyte or scrooge mcduck
04 Aug 2011 14:18:32
Do you know who i feel most sorry for, the poor ed on this site, i hope they pay you in hard drugs because it sounds like you would need it listening to everyone moaning after 4 GAMES If you are so worried about the transfer policy then wait outside ibrox and craig whyte when you see him, and why would you want to replace ally as manager? who would you replace him with, and what happens if it makes things worse? if you want a new manager every week and craving drama then i think you should bin your rangers strips and support heartsOh and ed keep your head up............things might turn around {Ed019's Note - ha, it kills time at work and it keeps you on your toes with whats happening in the transfer market. just think we need a bit of calmness. As you said, McCoist has had four games. Alex Ferguson was almost sacked by Man Utd in his first few months. Give mccoist time.
Yeah agree completly, considering ally will have too change the shape and the way the team plays, its going to take a season to get the squads balance correct, most managers have a 3 year plan, poor ally has to produce a 5 minute plan. Give the guy a brake people, give him a season before you call for his head.
04 Aug 2011 13:34:24
i think people that have posteed ruomurs bout hargreaves and crouch being linkd with rangers are getting us confused with queens park rangers. Ther is definite interest from them for both players. Cant see us getting either or being able to afford the wages, especially now. In ally we trust watp
You sure rumour about Crouch wasnt Whyte looking for money down the back of his couch
04 Aug 2011 13:23:32
i dont understand why so-calles fans are slagging McCoist as he has played 4 competitive matches. Mabye he has had a poor start but give him time. at least he wont to a paul le guen and sack our best players
He couldnt lace le guen boots
04 Aug 2011 12:57:29
We are desperately seeking a central midfielder and starting to get a bit concerned that all we seem to be looking for and talking about is centre backs wingers and strikers for me the most crucial position is centre mid with the likes of mcculloch and edu not cutting it anymore it completely baffles me that edu plays week in week out
04 Aug 2011 12:52:00
will people get it in their heads - its not that ally eants to harm the club - its the fact he doesnt have the managerial ability to carry us forward from walter. ally is an assistant at best - he is definetly a legend at this club and would never intentionally hurt the club but his ability in a managerial capacity so far has been severley lacking.
handling of transfers - poor
handling of media - poor
handling of players - poor {Ed019's Note - i totally disagree and these posts are getting annoying. the man has been in charge for 4 competitive games. rangers fans need to get rid of the paranoia, fear and get behind mccoist and give him time to prevail. Dont get me wrong, if it comes to the end of the season and we are not performing then fair enough, we definetaly have the right to ask some questions. But let the man get his arse in the door before you start.
Totally agree with you ED019, We need to get behind the team and Ally starting now...call yourselves supporters, who are you supporting ? Paranoia isn't supporting anyone, lack of confidence is supporting no one, you should be ashamed of yourselves...SUPPORT means "to agree with and give encouragement to someone or something because you want them to succeed". Now ask yourself is that you? Or should that be the new you?
Ger4life
Your not a real supporter he has hardly walked in the door and people like you are starting on him
Ed agree with everything you have said. You are a joke mate 4 games in and your calling for McCoists head you obviously arent a real fan because real fans know what McCoist has done for the club and are willing to give him the time he needs. Cant believe some of the fans on here.
Billboy1 True Rangers fan
Nice Reply Ed......
If ur unhappy with ally go and support some other team as I've stated on here before alex ferguson couldn't win anything with whyte as his chairman I honestly believe if Walter had stayed we would still be in the same situation it's not ally that's dealing with the transfers it's whyte and the board who are whytes puppets if any 1 isn't willing to get behind ally and the team and that includes edu then don't turn up we don't need you ther booing. Steph {Ed019's Note - Good point steph. Alez Ferguson was almost sacked in his first few months as Man Utd manager.that wouldve been a great move... ha
Ed, yes we nead to support the team through thick and thin, but it was clearly obvious that players were needed before this qualifier and it never happened. There was no leason learnt from the Kaunas experience......millions down the swanny due to poor management all round. Billy {Ed019's Note - I dont think bringing in panic buys for daft ammounts of money would have gotten us through the tie. It was down to a lack of physical sharpness on our part playing against a team who are halfway through a season. Poor discipline last night let us down. No matter who we had signed, Bougherra and Whittaker would still have been on the park last night.
Who's talking about panic buys? We know this game was coming the second the last ball was kicked of last season. C'mon Ed you are sounding if you think we done all we could to have qualified or at least gave us a chance of getting to the CL. Billy {Ed001's Note - you still have to live within your means, no good signing players in the hope of qualifying. That is what did for Leeds, they signed players expecting them to take them far in Europe and it didn't work. You have to set your budget expecting to do poorly or you will end up back where you were before the takeover.}
04 Aug 2011 12:40:12
just like the aftermath of the kaunas result expect an influx of players to arrive at ibrox, although damage is already done. the board know they will come under serious pressure if not already so to bring in new faces. so with that in mind expect rangers to up the anti for juhasz, beyode, verhoek and arsenals murphy and bartley. perhaps another striker 2
Not likely......why buy any more players as you's are now £15m down
DazzaBhoy
How many players will want to come now we are out the champions league.....bigt
Wont happen, whyte has no hard cash. he might have assets of just under 1 billion but doesnt have much cash available
I agree. There should be an influx of good players. Why? because we can't miss out on CL cash 2 years on the spin and players will come if we offer the right package. There is nowhere for Whyte to hide on this one. He must know by now he has messed up here, he wont do it again... if he still wont spend the cash we will know for sure he is at it
Bartleys signed a contract extension which was on SSN yesterday r the day before i think. I agree that's a possibility and i hope we can get hte players we were targeting before in. Though i doubt we'll get the players who seemed to be holding out to see if we we're getting into the champs league (cuellar)
04 Aug 2011 12:39:06
Right fellow bears I know this may sound silly but i'd rather we went out of europa league and tims went through, spl main target now, europa league like paris eurodisney nowhere near the real thing, i'd rather put our feet up after every league game and allow the tims to play 3 games a week guys like hooper, kayal and commons will struggle to play 3 games a week, have u seen the size of commons? Ha. What u think ed? {Ed019's Note - I personally wouldnt mind another good run in the europa league....
Guys like hooper, kayal and commons? oh u mean the best players in the league? kayal and hooper who are 22 and 23 and commons the guy uz cudnt afford whos in his prime? Aye they'll really struggle, u sound bitter and worried mate.
Drew
Drew ur so rage filled and bitter to even read the post .. the guy said nothing of the level of ability of these players ya dunce he didnt say they were poor didnt say they will struggle, just that guys like commons who is over weight for a footballer (cannot be argued) may struggle when it comes to playing 3 games in a week the guys wasnt being bitter just posing the question , you however were sounding bitter with ur snappy reply that was prob written in such a hurry u didnt read his post correctly..... question have u ever seen these player regularly play three times in a week? No u aint so u have no idea how they will do in that situation.
now jog on runner up
If kayal is one of the best players in the league then why cant your board get the £3mill that they so desperately been looking for off of Bolton As for your players Stoke are considering a bid for Hooper, Issaguire is interesting Lierpool so I would worry about your own team a wee bit more if I was you Drew
04 Aug 2011 12:13:43
on sky sports it says that santos are not willing to sell neymar to a top european club so does that mean they will sell to rangers. lol
Timmy before u burst ya button off ya jeans laughing ya fat ass off. where is ur club these days in europe ya mug.
Lol even I found that funny, still not as funny as that lot believing that they can win the league wihout Kayal(BOLTON) Issaguire(LIVERPOOL)
Last time i saw a list of european cup winners, i only saw one scottish team mentioned.doesnt matter how long ago it was.we, ve won it.you lot aint.simples
Most successful team in the world isnt our fault that other teams cant put up viable opposition in our league
04 Aug 2011 12:13:25
Not Hear To Cause Problems Infact Not Hear To Gloat Only Thing I Wanna Say Is 90% Of Real Celtic Fans Will Say Ally Mc coist And Walter Smith Are The Only Two Managers Of Rangers We Have Ever Respected .Fact Its A Disgrace How Ally Is Gettin Treated Lennon Was The Same No Experiance And I Think He Has Done A Gd Job For Us Hope Ally Dosent Get Hung Out To Dry As For Whyte He Is A Disgrace
Well said - A refreshing response from an unusual source
Sorry thought i had left a name its markcfc as i said thanks ed for lettin me post
Think you will find MarkCFC that most Rangers fans support ALLY and hate Whyte but if Whyte isnt going to back ALLY in the transfer market they would rather ALLY walked away before being made a scapegoat to good a club servant/legend to be treated like that
Markcfc, please dont put capitals at the start of every word, it's supposed to be at the start of every sentence.
Sorry just used to writing like that and ano its whyte that has the empty promises was glad when rangers scored the other night not because you would go through but because it would give a legend like ally a break its 4 games in lennon came good and am sure that ally given backin will be like walter smith hopefully bit more attackin in europ tho just a thought
04 Aug 2011 12:11:14
Ha the Ceptic Ed didnt have the balls to put one of my posts up. I pointed out that out of the first 30 posts on their Rumours page, 18 of them were about Rangers. And even then they weren't rumours just banter When you see some of his own comments he's just as big a moron as the likes of Timalloy. Told him to start doing his job lol. Keep up the good work Rangers Eds.
GCUK {Ed019's Note - can assure you that the celtic ed will post rumours, banter etc from rangers fan unless it is inapropriate or offensive. the celtic ed has the same job as us to do, we are all very busy, im sure he will edit your post when he can get round to it. appreciate the feedback. i will pass it on to the other rangers ed's.
04 Aug 2011 11:47:41
Guys this may not be a bad thing that has happened , it now may spark Mr Whyte into opening up his wallet and paying the money that teams are asking for . This has shown how bare a squad we have . All I'm hearing is sack Ally , why did he not bring on the subs but when you look at the bench who could have came on and changed the game ?
Ally knows he needs players and certainly Mr Whyte now knows this .
I'm hurting more than any one of us just now but will still follow the Bears now more than ever . We need to get behind the lads not tell them how sh1t they all are .
So stop Ally bashing and let the legend lead us to 4iar as i've no doubt he will do .
Get behind the lads and we will be partying the same next May as we were this one .
Blackwoodbear
Subs....Wylde? Perfect for Ortiz who was doing nothing and that speed would have been devastating to the Malmo tired legs. Healy? Why sign him up not to play him at all? ofc putting Edu and McCulloch in CM and Ortiz at LM with David at RM was s**t formation to start with and has proven so in the first matches. Shocking tactics from our manager and he keeps doing it.
U aint hurting more than any1 what even post that ridiculos comment ??

04 Aug 2011 11:31:11
i am obviously gutted, but dropping into the europa league might not be to bad, we are more likely to wins games and get points for scotland so them there is more chance of regaining 2 cl place and champ no qualifying.
Theres 2 places next yeat an u get more points for being in champs league so nat it isnt
T-Bear
04 Aug 2011 11:29:45
my view was that i was always going to be behind ally as the manager, but really in my heart i felt that he was best as an assistant. i will back him fully and dont want him to go give him a break.
Would love Wilkins as manager and Ally as his assistant but can't see it happening.
04 Aug 2011 11:00:41
...interesting how all the spl grey-suits are moaping on the radio (& bbc online) about us being out of champ league because of how it'll affect all clubs income etc - then s**tty dundee utd shld have been a bit more 'on-side' about doing business with us re goodwillie. tbh, all other clubs outside glasgow have little real ambition and just want to eat from the crumbs of our table like the s**tey wee no-hopers they really are. so if they have to share the pain financially that's a rare glimmer of good in a crap situation for us today
04 Aug 2011 10:43:54
people claiming that our key players all want to leave because we didnt qualify for the champions league .. cmon lads get a grip?
Ally's a new manager - he let his heart lead him, he should never have stepped up to be the manager IN MY OPINION. i have sources at Ibrox .. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TRANSFERS BECAUSE THAT IS KEPT VERY SECRETIVE due to the press making false stories etc. But Ally was not happy with Whyte due to CW trying to get players very cheaply and as a result our main targets getting snapped up because we didnt offer decent prices at first but now the Rangers board are at whitts end with each other as they don't know what to do. Ally & Whyte are not happy with each other.
It aint that secret thats the problem transfer dealings are 2 public
04 Aug 2011 11:20:15
I personally think its time for Mr whyte to come out of hiding and let all us Rangers fans know exactly what is happening and explain why he promised a war chest and delivered not very much so far. It would be good to hear what he has to say for himself and the future of Rangers.
Could not agree more, he is probably too busy building a fort around his castle
I think ally should be given a chance but feel he is to close to the problem eg i wonder if whittaker would have reacted if somebody else was in charge in the same manner. If ally gets the backing of whyte and gets his main targets then we can judge him or slate him for players played out of position
The war chest as u put it was new deals for davis , mcgregor whittaker the waste of space aswell as weir n papac that 4 million gone plus 500 k on ortis plus wages. 1.5. On goin then 2 mil bid for cueller 2.8 goodwillie 2.5 juaz(spel) plus their wages 13 mill
BUILDING A FORT ROUND HIS CASTLE??? DO U HAVE A BRAIN?? DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE YA MUPPET.
I'm pretty sure that;s the point mate
Thing he meant moat but your the brainless won to cap locks aff an stop acting like a tim
We havni got cuellar or goodwillie
04 Aug 2011 11:09:42
any1 calling for mccoist to go should shut thier pie holes, he deserves a chance and time he s a ger through and through-although i think a right hand man like souness would serve him well, steven whittaker should be sat at home looking into the mirror thinking ive cost the club thats stood by me, gave me a bumper contract thier cl place and £15m with it he s been nothing short of a disgrace over the 2 legs as for boughie-good ridance over rated- bugger off to a footballing back water with your £35 k a week-we played very well last night considering the red cards-a good bollocking and a good fine should put a few back in line-it will come together and look on the brightside we could push celtic out of the seedings in the europa cup now i think we should pull out the stops to get verhoek, jamie murphy, the hungarian lad and an attacking centre mid in and give the europa a real shot
Exactly how i feel mate, i could have near enough written this, word for word.get murphy, verhoek, cuellar and get torn into it.if last night doesnt underline the screamingly obvious that new faces must be brought in, then whytes gonna start seeing a lot of frustration from us bears.im behind ally 100%, feel he has one arm tied behind his back though.
drumlad
You's are a disgrace
Your mob sang songs that offended FARE. Your louts got sent off.
Eh, what? who are you talking to timothy? is it myself or the original poster? more importantly, what are you talkin about you empty headed spoon fed moron? what a randomly bizarre outburst.i fear you could possibly have mental health issues and its even more worrying that somehow, god knows how, you seem to have internet access.ahhhh, probaly broken into your neighbours house, or found a mobile in the street.crawl back into your hole ya daft fish.
AND I WOULD SAY UR A DISGRACE TO DECENT MINDED HONEST FOOTBALL FANS.
Verhoek wont come now he wanted champs league an we wont afford that defender now ally as i said from the start aint up to the job an he keeps proving me right in 4 games he has played 11 players out of position an keeps playing whittaker who is rank rotten he cant defend cant cross a ball an does stupid things like last night which isnt the 1st time he has done that billy davies shd ave been manager its that simple at CW needs to get his finger out an stop making gers a layghing stock by making 6-7 unacceptable bids for 1 player
K
What is that abused idiot on about there were non of our fans at the game it doesnt matter if other fans sing songs similar to ours
04 Aug 2011 11:08:10
First and foremost. No doubt about it we would have gone through last night without the sendings off.Whittaker you should be fined as much as the rules allow you to be. Secondly this is already a better squad than last year which won us the league last season.So whats all the doom and gloom. We need to do away with the 2 holding midfielders and get a playmaker in there. Eremenko for free, where is the risk.We needed Goodwillie up front as he would have been a perfect partner for Jela.Get Naismith back wide right where he can make the late runs into the box. If Lafferty can be more consistent to me this is his last chance.Give Hemmings a run in the team see how he goes and Ness will be back soon. 2 more signings and all will be well. Fellow bears winning the league is more important than being in the CL.GET BEHIND OUR TEAM
04 Aug 2011 11:06:38
Can't believe people want ally gone after 4 games the guy is a Rangers legend he would never harm the club he loves I think the problem is the lack of backing from upstairs I think Ally has been instructed that he cannot offer more than 1 million for any player and now we are out of champs league no one will want to come that was the only piece of pulling power we had, gonna be another long hard season
Remember john greig legend not a manager get rid of him an whiitaker it was him that gave whitts the new deal saying we need him broadfoot wid ave been better thats how bad he is

04 Aug 2011 10:41:17
Glasgow Rangers FC in turmoil As much as it pains me to say this, the problem for the dismal start to the season and crashing
out of the CL lies with the Manager. There is money available. Craig Whyte has money, plenty of it, make no mistake about that. He has asked Ally McCoist to identify (i) the player and (ii) the price he wants to pay. The bid is then put to the respective clubs, ie. DUFC, Hearts, Bursaspor, Den Haag, Anderlecht etc etc who consider it. While Ally has managed to purchase the Romanian, Ortiz and Wallace (who at1.5 million looks a bargain) he has also failed miserably with Kenny Miller and most notably David Goodwillie. Ally McCoist is now under massive pressure and should leave the bidding, wheeling and dealing exclusively to the Management Support, Gordon Smith, Ali Russell, etc etc. Once this levels out, expect Rangers to compete and perforn a lot better in both the league and the transfer market.
McCoist is also guilty of talking to much to the press about his intended targets in the transfer market and should concentrate solely on the team. A suggestion would be to bring in Jim Jefferies / Billy Brown as coaches, even ray Wilkins, to freshen things up, new ideas. McCoist is a
replica of Walter Smith and although he was a better player than Smith in his day,
quite obviously he lacks ideas and respect on the pitch , dressing room and
training ground. The source for this
is Gordon Smith.
Solutions to the rangers problem is simple; Ray Wilkins in as Assistant Manager / coach, McDowall and/or Durrant back to coaching role,
Wilkins as manager
Levien as manager, with wilkins and mccoist as assistants
Or mccoist as a scout
Your talking s**te ally doesnt arrange and debate fee s he picks a player smith and the rest go out to meet the clubs etc,
stop with the doom n gloom n give your head a clean out
Na mate u dont have a clue .... ally will name positions he wants aplyers for and what type , , , neil murray and brown then go scouting, fomr this list are compiled and im assuming put into priority, Then Whyte highlights his budget and then Smith basically goes about trying to get it done in that budget or cheaper.
Wilkins is a terrible manager
04 Aug 2011 10:37:39
Every one seems to be saying that 'poor Ally' hasn't had the funds..
Surely that only applies as an excuse as the season progresses and you need a squad.
However, the players he has just now, is basically the squad and team that won the SPL last year.
Are we really saying that a lack of funds is the reason that the SPL winning team from last season CAN'T BEAT MALMO, who are 8th in the Swedish league....you are all insane if you think that....Let's be brutally honest here, that was like a home and away tie against a St Mirren or ICT
I dont even think Malmo were as good as the likes of Motherwell, and yet, the SPL champs got turned over by them......disgraceful
04 Aug 2011 10:19:48
I hope last night's sad end was the last sorry chapter in that muppet Bougherra's Rangers career. Away and pi$$ off to the dusty desert for your millions. Lots of folk would give their right arm to play for Rangers but that @rsehole patently isn't interested.
I wouldn't have been playing him and his stinking attitude myself regardless who was fit or no. McCoist/ Whyte's fault we haven't got the cover. How long are we gonna be reliant on old man Weir exactly do you reckon? It's actually a complete f@cking shambles. All that f@nnying about before we finally sign a cb, race against time to get him registered, denied by uefa first off, we successfully appeal and the guy's injured anyway-ONLY F@CKING RANGERS BY THE WAY Complete farce. The other lot must be p@shing themselves.
As for Whittaker, his wages are hurting him. Would have been better for himself had he been on a reasonable wage, around half what he reputedly is on to cut out all that "that's that £20k a week Whittaker selling the pies again..." Bit like with Edu, the crowd turn quick, he loses confidence and it spirals out of control.
Randolph True Blue
I hear your pain, im sick of this, no more excuses acceptable.
although i dont beleive its allys fault, craig whyte is a business man who specializes in turning dieing compinies profitable or stabalizing....in my opinion he is at this point in time no better than loyds...that been said once things are stable at our club, he will turn around and sell us for a healthy profit
we are rangers super rangers.
we will survive
No better than lloyds??? youve a short memory pal we are buying players now not selling them the reason miller left was the future looked as black as night we were up s**t creek with out a boat nevermind a paddle
pull yourselfs together support the club all this dispondant s**te helps no1- sing loud and sing proud
Buying players ?? we bought jelly when the bank was there an now we ave ortiz no much of a difference that man is another J Rotten FACT
04 Aug 2011 10:11:02
Wouldnt surprise me about owen hargreaves cause super sally seems 2 be buyin any player thats been out since the day of the 90p a litre, ally must go
04 Aug 2011 10:09:48
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE NEXT MANAGER ? POOR ALLY HAS BEEN IN THE JOB ONLY A FEW MONTHS AND IT SEEMS HE IS TOTALLY LOST . HOW COULD HE PLAY THE SAME MIDFIELD AGAIN AFTER THE HEARTS AND FIRST MALMO GAME ???
LOVE THE GUY , BUT HE HAS TO GO BEFORE EVEN MORE DAMAGE IS DONE .
BRING IN BILLY DAVIES .
You should be shamed of yourself man. Who do you suggest he plays then? He is only playing all that is at his disposal.
Billyboy1
There is only one man for this job and that is craig levein
im very impressed the way he handles the media and i think he could be the next walter smith
I agree with billboy-pull yourselfs together you sound like youve all given up
remember who we are- get behind the gers make some noise
Wylde instead of ortiz cole instead of whittaker hutton instead of mcculloch/edu
04 Aug 2011 10:08:49
It's an absolute joke that so called Rangers fans are calling for McCoists head after 4 games. The guy deserves our full support. It's not his fault he was let
let down by 2 of his players. I think with 11 men we would have won the game but thats life. The 9 players who did play done the club, the fans anmd McCoist proud. McCoist has my full backing as I feel he is the man for the job and I hope everyone will give him their full support on Saturday. Super Ally should be ringing out all around Ibrox every matchday the man is Rangers through and through and the least he deserves is time and support. In McCoist I Trust.
Optimistic Billyboy1
Again i agree with you billy boy
04 Aug 2011 09:59:45
A well bears. At least we can be assured now the Manky Mob will NOT be seeded as we will now be seeded in the Europa League if we qualify to group stages.
I hope they get a tuff draw and get pumped oot
We need to get a few new faces in now.
In Ally we TRUST We are the PEOPLE
Gordon Smith AKA Scrooge McDuck assist with transfers, at s a bloody joke, they are having a laugh, are they
And the good doctor, Dr White that is, lets stop the nonsense and get a grip. Saw a very true post today: Whittaker you held the Gers to ransom and this is how you repay them, do the decent thing and piss off, under a stone or some where equally as fitting.
Come on were are the famous Glasgow Rangers, in the wee man we trust, just give him the man power and the jobs done.
04 Aug 2011 09:58:55
Come on remember who we are we are Rangers not those across the city. Don't turn on the team for stupid idiotic actions of two individuals who don't have Rangers at heart. Yet again both Whittaker and Bougera have shown what they think of Rangers, before anyone jumps to his defence remember WHittaker knocked back two offers from Rangers to get a better deal for what he does not deserve to wear the jersey the sooner he is sold the better. Utter disgrace wonder if he sitting this morning realising he has cost Rangers 12 million pounds. Do the decent thing give back his wages and leave. Give Ally time he will come good and Mr Whyte please get rid of Scrooge and allow Ally to deal with buying players. Then there might me offers put in that are accepted.
Remember we are the people and the Righteous will prevail.
Get behind Ally and Rangers and lets hope Davis and Jelavic stays we need them.
04 Aug 2011 09:54:35
Urgent:
Can anyone tell me what role Gordon
Smith plays at Rangers? I ask because
I'm sure he said he was there to
add "an experienced head to help push
through transfers". WTF...?
He promotes sun tan products
04 Aug 2011 09:48:29
We all know cCoisty is a legend, just a thought.
Do you think he could be too familiar with the current squad, and should he maybe grow some
and show the under achievers who's the boss, if
the premo's don't like it, see you later? He is a legend, but sometimes you have to be cruel to
be kind, his respect as manager may come from a more aggresive approach rather than his sense of humour and laid back attitude.
It was £5 mill each saeson for 4 seasons. Then in an interview with Jim Traynor Whyte pledged an EXTRA £15 mill for this season with all transfers out, ploughed in as well. With Adam and Bougie I make that the thick end of £24 mill. Chunk of that gone on re-signing but it is not a paultry amount (if true) so WHY are we fecking around with diddy bids? Time for Whyte to talk to the fans...
04 Aug 2011 09:23:33
A large number of worried Rangers fans on the site, I suppose the easiest way to calm them down is for a couple of new players (decent players) to be added to the squad within the next few days. That said however, we need to get behind the team and Ally, and show them our full support. Last night was utter madness and the majority of the team and Ally cannot be blamed for what happened. So two main things - (1) Rangers make some decent signings soon, don't react negatively to this blip in our great club's history, build for the future - (2) everyone get behind the club (team; Ally and Mr Whyte). Mr Whyte is getting a great deal of criticism, some deserved due to (so far) not living up to his statements regarding transfers, however I don't see any other person (fans etc...) dipping into their pockets to buy players or to have bought the club. {Ed019's Note - agreed.
99% of the fans on this site could not afford to buy Rangers, nor were we offered the chance to buy out the club as shareholders. But 100% of the fans did not claim to have a £20 million war chest for players (just at season ticket time) more if you include Adam and Bougie money, then buy NONE of the Managers tagets in time to get the CL money that would allow us to buy again in January should we need to No, I'll trust Whyte when he proves me wrong...
In Ally we trust
Aye very good.
Ally is a legend, but will never be a manager, .....i so so hope i'm wrong, but i'm not gonna be.
We needed a goal last night for potentially 15m, and with still 15mins to go.
With Northern Irelands ''all time'' top goalscorer on the bench (who Ally gave a deal to remember) and Gregg Wylde, who was good enough to play every game in the run in + started in the cup final.
Who does Ally fling on to salvage the tie.....? young Kane Hemmings.
No harm to the lad, but he hasn't even had 1 minute in the SPL.
If Healey isn't deemed to be good enough, especially in that type of situation, and in the 1st leg, and against Hearts at Ibrox when he hasn't had a minute's play, then why the f*** give him a 1 year deal??? Surely 10-15 mins v Malmo home and away, and v Hearts when it's 1-1 at home, would be seen as the ideal situation to give Healy the 'call', otherwise, when is he ever gonna get on the pitch......crazy crazy situation.
God make your mind up how much this war chest is?? one minute its 15 mill then 18, now people saying 20 mill. but can anybody show me the paper or tv interview where mr whyte say's how much he is giving apart from the initial investment of 5 mill over a 5 years. i believe he said to the daily record he would allow extra investment earlier than planned.

04 Aug 2011 09:17:26
OK, lets clear this up. There is nothing wrong with Mo Edu. He is a good player who just needs the fans to get off his back.
What we really need is a striker, two wingers ( L + R ), and a new defence apart from papac.
We should get Mladen petric - striker - hamburg - 1 year left on contract - stalling on contract extensions
We should get wesley Verhoek from den haag and Junoir stanislas from west ham -
worth a punt - only 21.
Then in defence get Juhasz, cuellar and the young mcgowan RB from hearts. he played a blinder against us on opening day. ortiz didn't have any space.
What do you think ED?
Edu hasn't had a break from football for about three years solid now. People really need to get off his back and remember how well he played in his first full season for the club.
He is hopeless he is a professional football player on 10 grand a week and he cant trap a football , hes had his chance
Edu has no control, positional sense and cannot pass the ball. What has that got to do with not having a break?
04 Aug 2011 09:08:22
Rangers now need to focus on the s.p.l as this seasons winners gain automatic entry into the champions league.
Mccoist play papac at c.b, lee wallace at l.b, wylde on the left, naismith on the right, and give healy or hemmings a chance upfront with jelavic.r.b is a problem.whyte pulls the purse strings but give mccoist a chance.ed-ur thoughts.
04 Aug 2011 08:54:51

tell you what he, d do a grand job for celtic dont you think?

whitty must be the highest paid player in the world he has cost us 15.2m in a few weeks
Agreed shd ave took bursa 1st offer like i said at the time coz he aint even worth 300k

Ed: Please post this comment. Just read
it on the banter page and it hits the
nail SQUARE on the head
Blucorner
You can rabbit on about Ally all you like but he is NOT the problem. It's Whyte. When he dumped the old board I put their warnings down to sour grapes. Now I'm not so sure... Even if he signs a crap load of top players tomorrow, he will still have damaged the club. To the tune of £15 mill. Is that him being naive? If so just what is the point of the "vastly experienced" Gordon Smith? I would like to think Ally will have the courage to "out" Whyte in the media if he feels he is dragging the club down
Ally is not the problem? He plays most of the team out of position. Whats wrong with David in CM or Ortiz at RM? How about Edu and McCullouch in CM game after game. McCoist doesn't have a clue
Correct he plays ortiz whittaker an edu an mcculloch these players aint the answer cole for whitts hutton for edu an wylde for ortiz an we would still be in the champs league its that simple an he needs to stop playing davis out of position

04 Aug 2011 08:35:26
Am sick of seeing people on here giving ally it stinking alright it hasn't bn the best of starts bit I tell ye 1 think he got his tactics absolutely spot on last night n we were unlucky jot to go through. It wasn't his fault he was let down by 2 mugs who think they're far betr than they really are.
Bougherra hasn't bn interested for the last 2 seasons b'cos he's wanted his move to a big club. Boll**** he wanted to go to the money n if u'd rather play for a club in Qatar than the famous Glasgow rangers then I say get to f**k.
N as for whittaker as soon as he comes up against a decent left wingers he has a stinker of a game so another liability who thinks he's a good player and isn't
On a positive but the 9 players who did finish last night gave there all n ran themselves into the ground Wi the fight that every rangers player should have n they were really unlucky not to go through. We had the chances. But we'll bounce back we always do n the reason for that is simple. It's cos WE R THE PEOPLE
Not Ally's faault.......who burst his a*** to keep Whittaker and eventually get him on a 5 year deal, saying 'he's one of our most important players''...that was Ally Aye the tactics were spot on...haaahaaa
04 Aug 2011 08:31:43
Because Ally was (eventually) prepared to spend 2 million on a striker he obviously agrees we need one in the squad. Healy's not gonna do it so who should we push the boat out for? Is there even a plan B? Most of the names I've seen mentioned here are strikers or midfield.

I think it is evident that a certain few players are unhappy, time to take off your blue googles people we are in the s**t bigtime, unless a miracle happens over the next 4 weeks i really fear for the club i love. RANGERS TILL I DIE
WHY SAY THAT? DID U SNEAK INTO THE RANGERS DRESSING ROOM SNIFFING THEM JOCK STRAPS AGAIN AND OVER HERD THEM SAYING SO YA MUG

Do u not think we have ourselfs to blame for last nights draw as some fans let us down last year singing stupid songs? If we could of had fans backing our players at the game would of been a different story. What do u think eddy boy? {Ed047's Note - no, totally disagree (apart from the fans singing stupid songs bit) from watching on the box, I felt it was a good atmosphere at the game, none of your Turkish/Greek hostile stadia and the absence of our support should have little bearing. If you want blame, look at the ref who never even booked a guy for blatant retaliation on McCulloch but sent Whittaker off for retaliation, gave a corner when it seemed clear it wasn't, from that corner McCulloch was clearly fouled but the ref waved play on, one pass, one shot, 1-1. Also look at Whittaker. He let us down badly and I'd take £200k for him now. Never liked him, never will unless he signs for celtic
Spot on ed was a amatuer ref by all accounts, not up to the standard for that calibre of game
Well said
It's all the refs fault not sending of Edu for elbowing someone (for second yellow ) or Niasmith didn't get straight red card for blootering the ball off the malmo player that got sent off. And you people talk about Celtic fans being paranoid. Throwing stones in glass houses springs to mind . {Ed019's Note - theres no paranoia demonstrated in my colleagues post above. he wasnt saying the ref was out
Both of you Ed's are making out the referee was awful......your player clarly throws the ball at there player.....ungentlemanly conduct = red card
WOT DOES CLARLY MEAN STUPID???
What does wot mean? Who's stupid now?
Who supports losers? end of argument you lose away and boast to your pals about how you finished second in a 2 people argument STUPID
As a Gers fan im extremely disappointed with our season thus far no question about that. Yesterday was just a miserable day all round. Out of the Champions League to an average team, lost out on our top target. No excuses we weren't good enough over the 2 legs. Yes, the referee made some errors but Whittaker should know better and Bougherra should have been careful. Time for Mr Whyte to get his act together and tell us what exactly is going at Glasgow Rangers.
04 Aug 2011 07:17:37
The problem the bears have is Whyte - look at the way he bought the club and the way he has set his company up. He is out to asset strip the the bears. Once HMRC fine the bears his company is the major secured lender and will profit from the sales of land and anything else they can sell. The bears will then be sold to a real investor and hopefully a true bear.
I think Ally should go back to harry redknapp and take a couple of the spurs fringe players on loan. I think bartley will return then buy Murphy when we get the money from selling bougie. If there is any half decent EPL players available at the end of the month and the wage budget allows it another 1 or 2 should see us ok
1 or 2 more like 4-5 we need experience look at our bench against malmo, not up to scratch, healy was a waste of wages sorry to say, and kerkar is highschool grade we need investment now
04 Aug 2011 06:59:45
Ally McCoist didnt get us knocked out of the champions league... our worst player of the season so far did that on his own. We were FAR better than Malmo last night and barring an exceptional strike from them we would have sneaked it. we played with more urgency, quality and passion last night and there were at least 7 players showing they want to play for Ally and Rangers. Fans have to get a grip and realise that playing with 10 men away against the Swedish champions who are all ready well match fit and still being the better side by far is not a bad thing. I honestly dont think we could have done anything different last night other than smack Whitts and Bougie in the mouth for being petulant we kids, Whitts should know better,
We need 3 players and we will win the league and have a good Europa run. A left winger, a good right back to keep whitts on his toes and another striker. Keep the faith lads. Ally knows what he is doing
Totally agree - we were let down by Whittaker and Bougherra. Why we didn't chase Whittaker i dont know, he's not worth half the wage he got. Bougherra had a good 1st season and gradually got worse. If we had 11 men on the park we would have went through.
If they had opened the purse strings we might also have had some new players in place and I for 1 don't believe thats down to Ally.
Also, remember Kaunas - that was a wake up call and the money was then made available for players. Give Ally a chance if he is actually allowed to get players in.
What the hell has happened to whittaker?Looks like a fallout has taken place, head is just not on the job.
MINCE.......................
Whittaker has been mince since he came here as i ave said from day 1 get rid now

04 Aug 2011 05:38:14
It looks as if we have lost out on the £10m for C/L place by not stumping up the £400,000 for Kenny Miller. Fed up with all the messing about put your money where your mouth is Mr White and get Super Ally the players he needs & we deserve - WATP - still be 4 in a row {Ed047's Note - Miller never set the heather on fire in Europe
04 Aug 2011 04:26:16
New rangers owner is a joke im not a rangers fan but i watch the spl rangers need good players mr whyte get your hand in your hand in your poket 20m would do wonders for rangers . Mr whyte is just buisness he is not interrested in the club mark my words rangers have stability they be as they are now in 10 years time no progress there at a stand still always will bless you ally . Mr whyte your full of broken promises
04 Aug 2011 04:23:50
Rangers are 42nd celtic are 57th
www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/club/index.html
typical celtic fans thinking there better than the mighty gers its thanks to us they even have a place in europe
The great unwashed and deluded have been in this dream since the year 1888
Do you think 1 win in 23 games gives you the right to gloat Celtic won more games in Europe last season than Rangers have won in 3 years - Once season 2007/2008 drops off the ranking will plummet, so i dont think you have too much to shout about
04 Aug 2011 04:17:09
do you think with the way we are all going nuts there should be a rangers rants page please press agree {Ed047's Note - I think there should be an Eds counselling page
04 Aug 2011 01:57:48
Not a rumour, but have most of u heard urselfs?? woopee doo were oot the champions league, wit would we huv done anyway? finished last in a group or third and end up in the europa league were we ur noo anyway, bunch a moany bitches on this site, honestly get a grip, remember this is super allys first manager job, just cause he was sir walters no.2 doesny mean anythin, a hink u's should aw pick ur dummys up n gee him a chance, ed have u heard any solid rumours?
MnM. {Ed047's Note - sorry, no more rumours as yet.
Like your mouth we your cornflakes, you have missed the mark There are 15 million reasons to be pissed off with Whyte & co.

Hi Ed,
Not a rumour or chat, it's basically a complaint. I have read things on the celtic site that has quite frankly appalled, disgusted and repelled me. I fully understand that other teams' sites totally have the right to say what they want and express how they feel and post their views. However, earlier when i went on, and to be honest on several other occasions, I read, and have seen, derogatory, inflammatory, and unacceptable posts being replied to or egged-on by the editor (Ed#007). Personally i find this highly unacceptable In today's society, especially in recent light of what went on last season this should not be happening? Would be interesting to see what the press, the government, t and all other relevant bodies/mediators would think of it? I went back in and some of the comments had been removed. Curious? Can you please note this complaint, post it for comment and give me your opinion on the matter please. If this matter is not addressed I will take it further. Thanks Ed. Jay {Ed025's Note - i have posted and noted your complaint jay, derogatory and inflammatory material should not be posted, and will not be tolerated on this site..
Dont contaminate your finger by pressing the enter button, as far as i am concerned the site dont exist, thats why they creep in here with their snide s**tty comments
Why would you visit that site, or take a f**king interest in that scum ?? If you don't want to read offensive posts on that shower of shYYtes pages........... don't go on it, , , , , , , , , , , , , , SIMPLE. The same applys to the many tw@ts from the swamp dwellers who constantly come on here, stay the f**k awaY I am convinced this is a RANGERS rumours page

It is more than a touch ironic that this thread started with a complaint about offensive postings on another site yet you have allowed the above to appear here.

Do u agree all red cards was the wrong. I have seen them 6 times and I say they were all yellow cards in my eyes even malmo, s
Malmos was a yellow a second one
Whittaker deserved to go he shd not wear a gers strip again he is a disgrace
T-Bear
04 Aug 2011 01:42:31
In case some of you havn't realised, RANGERS WENT OUT TONIGHT (OVER 2 LEGS REMEMBER) To a team no better than St Mirren or St Johnstone.....shocking performance over the 2 legs.
Whittaker is a disgrace and Ally will never cut it, his sub use is laughable at the moment, and he just, sadly, hasn't a clue.
Away and sober up ya dafty

Armchair fans have such a big mouth regarding players and coisty. Maybe go to a game once in a while and support the team. This is supposed to be a rumors page not a "slag off the team you apparently support" page. This is the same team that so far has won 3 in a row and got to the Uefa cup final so shut up with your nonsense. We are Rangers we are the most successful club in the world and we are 4 games into the season still 4weeks of the transfer window to go and I would rather have someone who wants to play for the club sign than some money grabbing btch So simmer down and support our great club
This is the banter page are u that thick ??
u probably think whittaker is a guid player every1 allowed an opinion moron
K
Never heard of ac milan, real madrid, man utd, liverpool, juventus, barcelona, bayern munich, inter milan, ajax, etc etc etc that is success, when you win 'old big ears' that will be a success
Aiming for an awe inspiring speech? We have every right to be unhappy. Super Ally, in an interview said he would try to bring ''Honesty'' and ''Fairness'' to our beloved club...We are not getting that. Wether it is intentional or not and I believe a lot of it is, we are being kept in the dark, avoided or blatantly lied to. Respect and common courtesy goes an awful long way but we are being deprived of that.
I know it's easy to overeact and start hitting panic buttons, I'll be the first to admit that but I've remained as neautral and calm as I possibly can and tried to perceive it as optimistically as I can but it's not happening.
It is inevitable that damage is being done to the club, this is blatantly obvious. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long to damage reputation but it takes an awful long time to repair.
We have 3, possibly 4 brilliant players and the rest are either mediocre or below average. We have a couple of young players that would put in harder shifts than half the starting 11 but don't get a mention. A legend, yes but an inexperienced manager who refuses to do won't make changes or acknowledge the fans concerns, an owner who is either a fake, a liar or a conman...we're becoming a joke.
We deserve better and how do you expect the morale of our half decent players to stay above the surface without some major changes. Oh and btw, I travel from a different country most weekends to watch the Rangers...so, not an armchair fan.
04 Aug 2011 01:16:12
we are still a team in a major rebuilding process and we have been saved by craig whyte why do we think it can be solved over night, i think we will come good ally dosnt know how to fail give him a chance, also champions league is better money wise i know that but we also want rangers to compete with team as a lower level (europa legue) than that of the champions league while were rebuilding, give them a chance we will get there cant expect the world so soon get behind ally and he will deliver the goods.
and now that the games out the road we can get the players we want get the boogie money and just give it time, if anyone deserves time its ally.
04 Aug 2011 01:10:44
got to feel sorry for ally .drew his transfer list up before the season started..a good one if you ask me not over the top price wise ....and most have gone to other clubs because whyte is so tight ..if ally had got his players we would have six points in the league and still be in the champions league....this is going to be a poor season and ally will be out by christmas....and it will be whytes fault.....HOPE I AM WRONG AND WE GO ON A SPENDING SPREE...JUST CAN NOT SEE IT......PISSED OFF OVER AND OUT
04 Aug 2011 01:03:13
Lets face facts here guys. if u include the money we got from Charlie Adam goin to Liverpool we have spent a net total of 1.5 million this season. We'll no doubt spend the Boughy money takin us up2 around 3.5 mil. Signing up players on longer contracts is a different issue for me. Some revolution, we spent more last summer. Mr Whyte ur fooling no1. I think its time for an explanation.
04 Aug 2011 00:50:58
got a text of a mate who is never wrong.....davis is going to newcastle for 6.5m....this will happen ..he said davis was told when he signed his new contract big name players where coming in and now it is a few cheap players and a couple of loans .my mate was told a few players are not happy at the club.....this is no wind up....and before you sayit.... I AM A RANGERS FAN
I believe you but I really hope this won't happen
What big name players were coming? Never been a big name player looking likely to come. They would have been here by now. 6.5 mill. Your mate might be right. I can't see us signing much now. I think whyte was just waiting to see if we made the cl. If we did I still think he was going to sign goodwillie and maybe a couple more. Now who knows but he needs to show us something rather than coming out and saying we have 15mill to spend please just spend some.
Got to leave ur name on posts like that mate.
Drew
Is it mystic meg :P
Wonder how he will get on with broonie cause thats were hes going
Queens park ??
One load of barry white
There's some truth to this, actually. Right now, it's not just as bad as the original poster states but it's certainly getting to that point...Promises were made before contracts were signed regarding new players etc If new talent doesn't come in soon expe4ct drastic changes...including Davis leaving.
Drew the Dhim still poking his F**king nose on here I see, he is a Smellik man and has no place on here............. go away
04 Aug 2011 00:48:21
If I learned one thing tonight it's that Edu makes a great right-back. He's a defender not a midfielder. He done really well at RB and he did well in the Old Firm cup final aswell. WATP.
Agree/Disagree?
He shd be there fae now on coz whittaker shd not wear the gers top again
Just get him out of centre mid he had a decent game tonight - always better in europe, i think.
04 Aug 2011 00:48:21
4 games, 2 score draws, an away league win and a home defeat in europe....are you seriously telling me thats sacking material? Get a grip. Ally had a hard enough time as a player to begin with and how did he end up? All time top goalscorer and a true legend. So back to square 1 for the guy as a manager. Dont forget he was part of the management TEAM under walter and a major part at that. I appreciate people are annoyed after tonight but c'mon. A few disappointments tonight with whittaker, the sending off that should have been for malmo and naisy and jelavic chance but to see a guy who was at best a reserve player at charlton go and blatantly get himself sent off in his last game for our club was the biggest F@(k off bougherra hope you realise how big a club we are when your rotting in abu dabi or wherever you end up.
When u start using the term 'score draws' ur really clutching at straws mate. Of course fat ally shudn't get the boot but dont try and glorify a draw with hearts at ibronx with the fact uz scored a goal.
Drew
Dont forget Edu and Mculloch were lucky to stay on the park. Plus Naismith shud have went if Whittaker went for basically the same thing.
Drew
Sacking material....without a doubt, ..
He puts on young Hemmings tonight, who doesnt even get 5 mins in the SPL, WE NEED A GOAL.....BADLY Ally has Northern Irelands ''All time'' top goal scorer on the bench, he has Gregg Wylde (who i don't think is top drawer, but he is fast) who played the last 10 league games + a cup final, 'toss the ball over the top'' and have a go....we are out at that stage anyway...
He puts on who?? Young Hemmings.....now no harm to the lad, but he hasn't even featured in an SPL game, and he is expected to save the tie, same last week, no subs used at Ibrox, bar- the forced injury one for Weir.
Ally is / was my hero, but he hasn't got a clue.....he'll not come good. Never {Ed025's Note - you may eat your words!
04 Aug 2011 00:42:06
i see that ally might get sacked i know lennon is younger but he was the manager of an other club so i think ally needs to go to a smaller club for experience 3 wins outa 9 games including europe and friendlies that isnt good enough for rangers possible replacement you guys say what do u think ed {Ed025's Note - i think you sound like a celtic fan!...ally will come good..and so will rangers..
The celtic job is Neil Lennons 1st job muppet.
Drew
04 Aug 2011 00:37:27
Am I the only one who is happy we didn't sign Goodwillie? 2.8 million? He was the 3rd most overrated player in the SPL behind Izaguirre and Kayal. Only SPL players I'd look into signing are Murphy and maybe Swanson and Templeton.
Daryll murphy?
Kayal is overrated? what are you smoking ya fanny
In fairness, Izaguirre is a brilliant player. If he hadn't of went to Celtic, I'd have loved to have seen him at Ibrox...albeit, I'd never really heard of him before he joined them.
04 Aug 2011 00:33:37
We are in desperate need of a CB, Winger and ST.
Would like to see folks suggestions on who we should buy for those positions.
Cheers
Add a CM
We need at least one cb. A new right back, A good cm who can pass and tackle, I would say a winger but would like to see Naismith attacking from the right.
The hungarian CB, The dutch winger, I want to see the major money if there to be spent on a quality cen mid, proven box to box,
I fear Goian may be injury prone so another cb must be loaned/bought.
I would love Odonkor to be clear of injuries as he was superb in the past.
BR
Is this Ally's post? haha. Nah i'm just getting that joke out of the way before on of them make it. I'd say, if we get cuellar we'd be sorted definsively but i can't see that happening now (i think he was after CL football). No doubt this Veroek lad is the winger we need - perfect for us. Im not too sure we need a striker when we have Laff back... i'd say we need a CM over a st and i couldn'tbegin to guess who we'd be after in that department...
04 Aug 2011 00:25:27
Lafferty & Jela are a dream upfront together. People saying he should go have a think about him being 23 years old and having won 6 major honours with Rangers. That's impressive. Rangers result tonight in Europe was heartbreaking but we're now in the Europa league and we were by far the better side, it just all went against us, you have to take that sometimes in football. I don't know why Celtic fans gloat, Rangers are the champions and it's us who have done 10x better than them in Europe the past few years WITH NO MONEY.
03 Aug 2011 23:31:52
after the transfer fiasco at the club this summer and tonights champions league disaster, I expect to see Joe Barton unveiled as a player tomorrow morning or we should all go down to ibrox and demand answers
You should head down just now so you can get right to the front. Demand answers from who? Whittaker? Bougherra? The ref? Don't be holding your breath if your expecting to see joey Barton. We can't compete with championship teams so what chance gave we got of competing with 6 premiership teams and 2 cash rich European teams psg and Malaga? That's right..... No chance.
03 Aug 2011 23:37:12
time to face facts, we cant compete with championship teams...... im off to take some anti depresants
thiink ill sue whyte for causing me anxiety and panic attack....anyone care to join mee in a class action law suite ?> {Ed025's Note - have a stiff drink...and all will be better at the weekend.
C'mon ed nae bawbag timothys on the site and dont let this fanny oan either
03 Aug 2011 23:35:55
give super ally time he will get it right the so called fans callin for his head are not real fans .......in ally we trust 4 in a row {Ed025's Note - you said it mate
Hope you're right but alas I think you may be wrong Game at 75 mins was screaming for wyldes pace down the left to freshen it up... Allys response ... an untried teenager signed from Tamworth. Massive Fail. Need to learn quickly Ally, the vultures are already circling
04 Aug 2011 00:09:56
wish everyone would get a grip, are these posts from those who wanted walter sacked at various times during 3 in a row? not the start we hoped for but end of the day we are out cause we didnt take our chances, ive no worries about this team, how many times have they been written off? too many 9 men and took a wonder goal to put us out, red cards were a disgrace, As for the transfer front, where would we be without Whyte? at the end of the month things will look much better, how can you slag the chairman? he saved Rangers. All together now.....
04 Aug 2011 00:08:39
Personally thought Bougherra's red card was harsh
and durmaz siscored whitaker. red card challenge. should have gone for kick too.
04 Aug 2011 00:06:04
we're due to play chelsea so what do you think ally should play as this is only a friendly. should he play regular 1st team players or make the squad up with a good few young players who maybe have the hunger and desire to show they really want to play for the gers rather than some of them collecting there over inflated wage packets and acting like youngsters
PLAY ALL OUR YOUNSTERS, LET THEM SHOW US WHAT THEY CAN DO sorry for shouting
spiced rum
Alexander
Clubfoot, Goian, young CB, wallace
Naismith, Hutton, Wylde, Ortiz
Hemmings, Jela.
I think youngish team will be played, but its being billed as a glamour clash so i don't think it will be a run around for the fringe players.

And if your aunty had balls?
It's all ifs and buts now.
Totally agree thats how am so pissed aff wi boogy(a dont give a f*** anymore) an that toss whittaker , a mean boogys got no future with us noo but whittaker has wit the f*** wis he doin , he should use some of that 26k a week an buy a brain cell ( or fine the person ally an buy it for him)
03 Aug 2011 23:54:11
Absolute muppets on this site. Ally only in the job and people want him out. Forgotten more about football than most of you know.
03 Aug 2011 23:47:50
tell me this why is john brown spending friday nights in pubs in airdrie? should he not be scouting new players or watching games some where? instead of guest appearances in a supporters doo?prioritys gers, things seemed better under the bank mr johnstone it seems was correct sad to say, still being short changed under new owner, jim traynor said on radio the night that craig whyte said to him in an interview for the sunday mail If ally mccoist wants to spend more than the 5 million budget there is a further 15 million available to spend on players, traynor said this maybe 3 times that craig whyte says 15million available if ally wants it. why hasn't he spent the full 5 million yet? and when will the 15 be spent? far too many slipped through the net and now clubs know the way we play our game in the press and under value bidding
fed up
03 Aug 2011 23:47:15
U got me all wrong I respect ally I suspect whyte is going to use him as a scape goat but ally needs someone with experience whyte never hired him as manager thats where I get the sign that ally could be gone hope it clears up what I tried to say b4
Fair shout then m8
03 Aug 2011 23:43:25
I personally think rangers need 2 centre halfs a winger a center mid and a striker what do u think guys
A new right back
I dont care what you think i care about what ally thinks
Pity craig whyte disnae
I would settle for anybody who can kick a ball with his fn left foot
