Has this turned into the Aberdeen page ?
Let’s talk about rangers
Score prediction for tomorrow I am going for 3-0.
08 Aug 2020 22:15:16
4.0
Itten plays - he’s scoring a double.
08 Aug 2020 22:19:40
4-0 itten to score 2.
08 Aug 2020 22:44:39
Exactly 👍.
08 Aug 2020 23:06:49
I also fancy rangers to beat st. mirren 3-0, with cedric itten scoring in his rangers debut 🤔.
08 Aug 2020 23:42:34
Gerard says rangers now have players to play different formations like 3-5-2.
09 Aug 2020 07:34:37
Bgate big difference saying something than actually doing it.
09 Aug 2020 07:52:29
Fistly we want 3 points, we certainly need to score more goals, hence Itten has to start today, I would also have Jones on the bench today in place of Barker. Paterson will be on the bench today, he won't drop his captain if he is fit, rightly or wrongly. C'mon the Gers, let's go out and take the chances we are creating.
08 Aug 2020 21:51:15
Coldo you keep putting that hand in your chat I hope it's been sanitized 😉.
08 Aug 2020 20:57:43
Don't get the government response to the Aberdeen players and the threat to Scottish football.
There are no fans in the stadiums so why are footballers treated differently from the rest of us.
I can go to the pub and still do my job and deal with the consequences if I catch C.V. so why can a football player not do the same?
If a team lose players then the club has to play youths or forfeit the match.
Can someone explain why it would be necessary to shut down all football?
08 Aug 2020 21:17:18
DK19, footballers are treated differently because they are allowed to play a team sport that on a match day they are mixing with 30/ 40 people at close proximity. Yes we can go to bars and restaurants etc but we are not allowed to play 11 a side football because of the risks. There is apparently more risk of catching or passing CV on when excercising as you exert more breath and sweat etc. Make no bones about it, footballers are taking the risk of mixing with each other and taking CV back to their own families and that is why they aren't allowed to take the extra risks of going to restaurants and bars. Take a look over in America where NFL players are being allowed to opt out of playing for the full season because its recognised just how serious the risk of CV is.
08 Aug 2020 21:28:31
I can only assume DK19 that when you go to work you don’t climb all over your colleagues mixing sweat and saliva?
Most people when they go to work socially distance and wear ppe. Footballers are not able to do this and so have to be treated differently.
If they can’t adhere to the guidelines then there will be no football during the C.V. - simple as that.
If they want to keep their jobs then follow the guidelines. If they can’t then maybe they can get a job at your work and go for a pint in the pub on a Saturday night.
08 Aug 2020 21:37:39
so the tic can win the league. doesn't need a coldo conspiracy it just happens that way ) ) )
08 Aug 2020 23:09:28
You'll not get me going on about conspiracy's eric, between you and yately you's are like moulder and scully the way you's go on😱😁👍.
08 Aug 2020 23:38:33
Zikos, what difference would it make if I did?
Providing I and everyone else involved were tested (as is the case before all matches) then there would be no chance of passing on anything other than bad breath.
If they have tested negative there is no need for PPE or am I missing something?
If Aberdeen were forced to play whilst missing key players It would be a pretty good deterrent to ensure that all other players followed the rules and would not threaten the whole of football.
No logic for me in these threats - would be different if crowds were allowed but the clubs are in their own bubbles.
09 Aug 2020 08:01:55
DK19 - I think it’s because the testing method and results are not perfect and there is quite a high level of false results.
Chances are if all those players were tested the following day they would have had negative results. If they then played that day there would be another team infected who would have went home and spread the challenge to over a dozen families and so on and so on.
09 Aug 2020 11:20:01
But the risk to anyone under 60 is virtually nil. Wrap up those who are at risk and let's get on with our lives.
Not even Davie Weir could play at 60!
{Ed001's Note - wow glad you know more than the scientists studying it, because none of them know that. In fact most seem to think that it is probably going to leave behind lifetime issues, such as measles leading to shingles later in life.}
09 Aug 2020 14:59:35
Well Ed I admit I don't know as much as you cause you've got the red ink and the "ban" button but I can read the facts.
The facts state that >96% of deaths are aged over 65
There is more chance of drowning if you are under 60.
99% of C.V. patients have 100% recovered.
What do I know?
{Ed001's Note - clearly nothing bar a few stats. Why spill more ignorance? Just leave it to people who actually understand these things. How do you know they have 100% recovered? I know a number of people who have had it under the age of 60 and not one has 100% recovered as they are left with scarring in their lungs. But you are clearly in the know because you are reading a few numbers and think that means you know something. Ignorance like you displayed is why morons don't wear masks and increase the spread killing many more people.}
08 Aug 2020 20:20:46
This Aberdeen fiasco,
See at end of day
I think there game should have gone ahead. It was there own stupidity and it's down to the club to deal with the players
But now st johnstone have to fit this game into there Calander down the line through no fault of there own?
And if this now happens again, how many games they going to keep postponing for teams players who flout the rules and catch the virus?
I say play the game - if it weakened there team and st johnstone got there 3 points from winning the game
Then it's Aberdeen football club problem.
St johnstone had a team trained prepped and ready to play today
Why should they suffer from those Aberdeen players being daft?
Listen this is no way me being biased. Its me being sensible thinking about how the league itself is going to cope every time we have to postpone games due to C.V.
I think winter is going to be a nightmare with it
When common colds and flus are about and no one knows the difference and all having to be tested etc are they goi g to keep postponing games?
We don't need games postponed because of stupidity there punishment should have been they're team played hopefully were beat and lost 3 points and then they the players would know the results of there actions simples.
08 Aug 2020 21:33:11
I don’t think they can tbh. There was a team in Russia that had to field an u18 team in due to a similar situation and the league became a laughing stock when the score went into double figures. I don’t think our league could take any more scandal.
08 Aug 2020 23:09:59
Can anyone imagine the response if Rangers had been the team involved with the CV lock down that the sheep 🐑 are caught up in.?
08 Aug 2020 23:13:30
Fixtures are out for the new season Cove Rangers v Rangers.
08 Aug 2020 20:06:33
A lot of posters on here think I hate Morelos and Gerrard. Nothing is further from the truth. I love these guys, admire them both. Morelos a great signing, works his socks off, scores goals, hassles defences. Gerrard has done a lot for this club, highly respected individual, the task he took on was far from easy, but he has done well. Still learning, but regardless of whoever became the manager it was never going to be a stroll in the park. All I want is for Morelos to leave on a high, play to the best of his ability whilst still a Ger, show the world what he can do, and earn the transfer he so badly desires. As for Gerrard, change the system at times, make the substitutions at the right time, drop players that are not performing, and stop sticking to your favourites, and let’s see one of the youngsters get a run in the team.
08 Aug 2020 20:48:29
That's fair enough The Muppet, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion no matter who agrees with you or not mate. You have explained what your take is with gerrard and morelos, so respect for you for doing so pal! 👍.
08 Aug 2020 21:39:18
sounds like you love the rangers to me, muppet.
08 Aug 2020 21:43:42
Whilst we’re being honest I think most things that happen on the field rests at the managers feet.
Morelos gets sent off - I blame SG for endorsing that reaction.
Morelos is unfit and over weight - I blame SG either for allowing him to get into that condition, not keeping tabs on his fitness during lockdown and not having other options.
I think he will mature into a great manager but we shouldn’t be a training ground for inexperienced managers to learn their craft. We’re bigger than that.
Personally think if the season had been played out then he would have been sacked, but he has another chance and I hope he grabs it with both arms.
So far I’ve been quite impressed with how he has tweaked the style a bit but I still fear that we don’t create enough chances. Against Aberdeen Alfie had maybe 2 or 3 half chances. Hopefully SG can get Hagi and Kent to pass the ball every now and then and we can finally push for the league. We’re not far away. I think we have the players just not sure about the management team. Hoping to be proved wrong.
08 Aug 2020 23:10:10
Its our management team that have brought the players in, so i think with a tweak here and there we do have the management team and as i've always said gerrard will win the league as rangers manager! 👌.
09 Aug 2020 02:02:17
I'm looking at s. g in a different light now. Blind loyalty to Tav is a joke. The worst performer on the pitch v Leverkusen. Lost possession more than 15 times. Statistically the worst player on the pitch. Worse than that 17 year old kid. Caught out of place more times than anyone else. No tackles. Good attitude in training aside, performance on match days is what matters. He underperformed once again. His mistake cost us a goal again. A constant culprit. Stevie can't now say that he'll drop Morelos for having his mind elsewhere, he has to drop the ones who constantly cost us games. Day in and day out Tav makes mistakes. Sometimes he assists, but not enough. S. G even contradicts what he says himself. I quote "if players don't perform, they won't have a place for the next game". Katic is out at one mistake. Tav is played over and over. Do the management not watch games back and think, hey, look at Tav, he's always in the wrong place and losing the ball? I know 100%, as do we all, that if Celtic win this year, Stevie is done. Two years and no silverware. The worst streak we've ever had. In our existence. Europe aside, the history is there for all to see. No other manager in our history has won nothing in the same amount of time as stevie. g. all talk so far and nothing to show. When that league trophy for 55 is in Ibrox this season, then we can say that Stevie has done it. If it's at Celtic park, Stevie should stop his management career immediately. Rangers isn't a job as a trial run or stop gap. As of now, I believe that Stevie's fate will be decided in the next 30 games. Souness, Smith, advocaat, mccoist, mccleish have all performed better than s. g in the same amount of time. As a player, tremendous, but looking at his numbers so far, as a manager, average. He's spent almost more than all the other managers too. We need to open our eyes now and stop the blind faith. Tav has to be dropped. Goldson has to stop the useless punts up the pitch, as does McGregor. Morelos needs a kick up the arse. Walter Smith would have dropped them without a second thought. Mccoist would of had a few choice words. I remember when advocaat dropped Barry ferguson for being up himself. They all got knocked back into place. S. g just seems to waffle on and then pick his favourites. If the usual culprits are at it again tomorrow, I'm going to be well peed off. Patterson is chomping at the bit for a game and has made very few mistakes when he's had the chance. Let's see what the next game brings.
09 Aug 2020 07:39:46
Well said rossco spot on with it all.
08 Aug 2020 18:37:47
if the aberdeen players have had lockdown and quarentine because of their own stupidity and todays game I
Was called off because of it then their games for the 14 days post diagnosis then the Celtic game should be called off as well as this would fall inside that period and then its up to the SPFL to try and rearrange the games and they would make a complete balls up of that as well and Aberdeen FC can't complain to anyone other than their own players if at some point in the season they have to play 4 or 5 games inside 8-10 days because after all that's what the people who run out leagues say must be done because we've been on the wrong end of some weird fixture scheduling decisions in the past none more so in 2008 when the scottish football authorities should have been trying to help one of their members possibly win a euro comp but no they said we'd to play a game every 2 days and if we'd came back from the 3-1 against Bayer (which I know was highly unlikely anyway) it would have been great for us to get into the next stage but also great to see Donkey-aster and his cronies wondering how we would fit in the postponed fixtures! But then he'd had phoned Peter and asked him lol and then probably made us play 4 fixtures in 8 days lol.
08 Aug 2020 19:21:53
The six who have not tested positive only have to self-isolate for 7 days.
I would have thought after 5 months of that being the regulations you would have grasped that.
08 Aug 2020 19:37:59
7-10 days for a positive test mate 14 for the other 6,i. e if u had a positive it would be 7 days but your wife or children even tho negative would be 14.
08 Aug 2020 19:39:50
Sorry Jsi, the rules are that anyone who has been in contact with someone diagnosed, but doesn’t actually have it or any symptoms yet must isolate for 14 days. Check the nhs Scotland website.
08 Aug 2020 19:56:53
Sorry Jsi, but 14 days for folk who've came into contact with confirmed cases and 7 days if you have if it - potentially going to 10 days.
08 Aug 2020 19:59:32
My misinterpretation lads I was of the belief it was just the 7 days.
08 Aug 2020 20:05:08
That hurt my head mate. Full stops are your friend. Never mind Aberdeen having to squeeze games in, is it fair on the other three (including the smellies) to have to do the same through no fault of their own?
08 Aug 2020 21:42:06
Priceless jsi 😂😂. That backfired lol.
08 Aug 2020 21:51:58
Jsi it’s only been 5 months you think you would have grasped it by now lol.
08 Aug 2020 21:53:37
My wife had it in April tested the lot she was 7 days and me an the wean were 14 but she was still fecked after 7 days took her a couple of weeks to get over it and hospital said she had it mild.
08 Aug 2020 22:22:29
I had it the wrong way round boys.
Atleast I'll hold my hand up when I'm wrong.
08 Aug 2020 23:09:50
Gers 1978 I'm sorry I am not in Scotland never thought to check their regulations.
08 Aug 2020 17:01:38
When Aberdeen can play St Johnstone i think the match should go ahead without the 8 players who were unavailable through their own actions.
08 Aug 2020 17:23:52
Struth, that's, downright stupid. Your condemning whole club because of stupidity of few players. C.V. way more important than your determination to see Aberdeen suffer. Your message is based solely on, dislike of sheep. I do also but not prepared to see whole club suffer in current climate.
08 Aug 2020 17:56:21
This is just the start of it I fear, I can see this season being an utter shambles. What if you have 4 top players out, does the game still go ahead? What’s the line you draw before cancelling games?
08 Aug 2020 18:22:51
The sheep should have forfeited the game 3 - 0👍.
08 Aug 2020 18:40:22
More nonsense, enough things have been handed out this year!
08 Aug 2020 18:43:18
Totally agree the game should be awarded to St. Johnston 3-0.
08 Aug 2020 19:26:33
Doubt there's any rules in place to award Saints a 3-0 win.
08 Aug 2020 20:52:22
Who gives a f##k about aberdeen hope they do lose points hope there games are postponed and the smellies have a fixture pile up only ever try against the famous anyway
Look after number 1 no one likes us we don't care.
08 Aug 2020 20:52:46
no rules in place to hand the Celtic the title, they make the rules up as they go along, absolute tossers.
08 Aug 2020 16:55:53
Ill carry on this discussion here A manager is what the title says -he manages and not just in the dressing room or training ground. ferguson monitored all his players whereabouts and that was pre-C.V. The damage done by this impersonation of a football club maybe irreversible going forward what about Europa games coming up? not just our league mcinnes is a joke end of story and SHOULD be punished internally. As should the 8 jokers minus 9 players including cosgrove against celtic -8-0--yeah, good for the league and their goals for .
08 Aug 2020 17:37:26
Can’t agree. It’s fairly well accepted that AFC have done a lot to comply. The players made the decision. They are to blame.
08 Aug 2020 17:52:15
Add considine red card i to that.
08 Aug 2020 17:56:11
Tell the boardroom that when celtic gub them 8-0 and out of Europe in the 1st qually -in todays climate the buck stops at the manager everyone has an opinion^^^^^that's mine.
08 Aug 2020 18:08:29
Totally respect your opinion mate but you’re wrong so it counts for nothing.
Haha I’m only kidding pal, this is what this site is about mate, opinions, and you’re absolutely entitled to yours.
I personally think it’s a tough one because I’ve no doubt the players, like our players, will have been well drilled on the precautions but the players go awol and make the manager look stupid.
08 Aug 2020 18:09:26
Utter BS the manager can’t babysit grown men 24/ 7 it’s ridiculous to think that.
08 Aug 2020 18:14:20
If you are a manager and your direct report stabs someone at the weekend, you go to jail then?
08 Aug 2020 18:17:22
Its ridiculous to blame mcinnes👍.
08 Aug 2020 18:26:31
The last thing the manager says to his players after the game is under no circumstances are you going out for a pint tonight -This is different times that require different measures -If it was gerard I would be all over him also this is not leisure camp but a big money business that requires a fully fit squad im guessing that's out the door at pittodrie now .
08 Aug 2020 18:30:08
I also have a factual story about morelos 2 months ago --back at my nephews flat after the pub --but that's for another day I guess --.
08 Aug 2020 18:32:07
I'm a manager and I don't sign off each working day saying that to my team. Because it's common sense and if they are selfish morons out of a work environment that's on them.
08 Aug 2020 18:42:15
Deecee sorry but you are talking nonsense👍.
08 Aug 2020 18:50:24
She’ll, are you Stevie G In cognito? 😂.
08 Aug 2020 18:56:55
Deecee. On another note. If Gerard had warned the team about being responsible, etc and McGregor, Jack, Barasic, Davis, Kent, Aribo, Goldson and Tav had to self isolate because they went out for a beer, would you blame him? What more could he do?
I genuinely think they have been stupid - especially given the fact they were soundly beaten at home on the first day of the season by possibly their biggest rivals - but McInnes is not stupid or irresponsible- it’s not his fault. If it happened again I might have a different view.
08 Aug 2020 20:09:14
I wish I was AlloaGer mate, I'd take Stevie's bank balance! Just feel once guys are out of work you aren't accountable. If I have to tell people everyday "make sure you aren't daft enough to get p*ssed in a group" then do I also have to point out the obvious like "mind and not walk in front of a bus on the way home"
08 Aug 2020 20:33:02
Deecee does your boss dictate what you do at evenings and weekends? Ridiculous statement.
08 Aug 2020 21:55:39
I have a factual story about Morelos lol no you don’t DC give your head a wobble mate.
08 Aug 2020 14:09:20
I think we have to face facts--Scottish football is a joke. 8 players from Aberdeen go on a night out and what do we have--an absolute shambles going forward and who the heck will want to play against them now --Mcinnes should be punished for this, no doubt in my mind "Where are you going tonight boys"? "Out on the town boss"! "oh ok have fun". This is just the beginning as winter approaches every player in the top league should be under strict orders to stay home and act socially responsible when venturing out as we have to do -A shambles well done the sheep. BAAHHH!
08 Aug 2020 15:00:53
That club is an apology for a football club! I honestly hand on heart despise abaaaadeen football club and always have done!
08 Aug 2020 15:07:16
Mcinnes should be punished Why him it’s the players who broke the rules they are adults they should know why blame their manager I’m sure he didn’t know where they were you could see he was livid in his interview.
08 Aug 2020 15:17:00
Why should mcinnes get punished? How do you know he asked them particular 8 where they were going that night. I am not minnes biggest fan but there is no way he sanctioned a night out when they are ment to be isolating in football bubble.
08 Aug 2020 16:02:19
Because twacoos their manager delboy mcinnes is a goatherd 🐐 pal, sorry shepherd 🐑😂No time for that apology of a so called rangers man derek 'delboy' mcinnes anyway! 👎👎.
08 Aug 2020 16:10:17
Bunch of 🐑🐑🐑🐑. Mehhh bahhh.
08 Aug 2020 16:15:43
So Sturgeon calls the Aberdeen behaviour 'totally unacceptable' and the SPFL fail to punish them.
This is why I keep banging on about how Scottish football has to agree to rules ASAP regarding the C.V. crisis - actually they should have been announced before last Saturday. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is another season that doesn't fully conclude.
08 Aug 2020 16:18:52
For goodness sake Coops get a grip, you’ll be plugging Billy Davies and wee Lorraine next.
08 Aug 2020 16:33:04
I agree to an extent that Mcinnes should be punished. He should be punished in house by Aberdeen if that's what you mean. When I used to be a manager if one or more of my staff were disorderly I would discipline them but if it was serious enough my area director would be asking serious questions of me and why that happened in one of my units. I would effectively carry the blame.
To be honest its just really irresponsible and i'm pleased with the way wee Nicola has called them out. Football at the highest level was allowed back under strict instructions and part of that was that the players don't have the same freedoms that we have. They aren't supposed to be out and about. Its supposed to be training and home and that's it. Its a privilege to be a footballer but I do get the frustrations they must have that they aren't allowed out but that's the sacrifice they have to make just now and if they break those rules then shame on them.
08 Aug 2020 16:43:38
Not going to get into a political debate but wee Nicky loved the Aberdeen boys going out to take the heat off the exam fiasco. McInnes is a doughnut but to say he should be blamed for the idiocy of his players is a farce.
08 Aug 2020 16:52:10
The manager should not be punished he can’t and won’t watch over his players 24:7 it’s ridiculous and ludicrous to even think he should.
08 Aug 2020 17:04:23
Wee Nicola opened pubs/ restaurants gave incentives for cheap food, what did she expect?
08 Aug 2020 17:13:54
Hardly mcinnes's fault 🤦♂️👍.
08 Aug 2020 17:28:42
Ok SGL you clearly don't like Mcinnes but if he was the Rangers manager would you be the Delboy Loyal on here? 😉👍.
08 Aug 2020 17:40:45
We're in agreement coldo! 😁.
08 Aug 2020 17:50:50
Why the **** does everybody want to punish Aberdeen at club level, and Mcinnes in particular. Arse tho he is you don't know his input. Some on here stating he knew of his players plans, sanctioned them irrespective of risk. Fans on here blowing this into club being sanctioned issue for players actions. This needs to kept in perspective.
08 Aug 2020 18:14:35
Penrith bear, i back anyone who comes to work for rangers because i have always given my club total backing for many years! But i have never rated mcinnes as a future rangers manager and not to mention although i'm glad he did turn the rangers manager's job down, the things he said about the club he always claimed to be a massive supporter of. No not for me and the sheep are most welcome to him!
08 Aug 2020 18:18:50
You'll get the hang of it grumpy😁😉👍.
08 Aug 2020 18:48:45
Throw the book at the club, the staff, the players, all of them.
08 Aug 2020 19:12:20
St Johnstone should have been awarded the points.
08 Aug 2020 20:14:09
Well we can't disagree about everything can we coldo 😁😉.
08 Aug 2020 21:05:45
Might as well just demote Aberdeen to the bottom league and reinstate Hearts, Thistle and Stranraer to their original leagues. Problem solved!
08 Aug 2020 21:54:31
Cant punish mcinnes for adults making a balls up but the other thing is st johnstone shouldn't have been given a 3 nil win, aberdeen shouldn't have had to forfeit the game etc. Just keep the game on and they would have just had to use reserve/ youth team players. Simple as that different if there was not enough players throughout the club, but as long as they are able to field 11 players on a pitch, game should stay on.
08 Aug 2020 23:13:20
Cannot grumpy, but you give it a good go😉😁👍.
08 Aug 2020 12:44:12
Think we are starting to see guys like McGregor, Defoe, Davis take that wee bit longer to heal from wee nocks, strains etc.
08 Aug 2020 13:16:25
Definitely b. gate this definitely is a Sean song season for all 3 and I hope they end their careers as title winners.
08 Aug 2020 13:31:59
Meant swan song.
08 Aug 2020 14:44:38
Agree guys, McGregor's kick outs (when he had any? ) Were very poor, had 1 great stop but not impressing much, Defoe bit part player, now prone to injury &does nothing outside the box, Davis, love the wee man but he looked slow and way way out his depth the other night.
All great servants, they have to call it a day or move on like all the rest we have had over the years.
08 Aug 2020 16:46:08
Write them off at your peril, I guarantee all 3 will still be big players for the club this year. Unfortunately age catches up with us all and it takes a wee bit longer to get going and to recover lol.
08 Aug 2020 18:34:17
Wonder what that song would go like.
08 Aug 2020 11:46:43
Report in certain newspaper this morning that rangers have knocked back an increased bid of £16.25million from lille, for morelos. If this is true, i don't know about any of the rest of you, but i would have sold him for that amount, plus add ons and a 15% sell on fee, should lille eventually sell him on for more money, a few years down the line! Don't get me wrong, i rate morelos highly and think he'll just go on to get better and better, but is clear to see he most definitely wants away and his time with us has come to an end!
We just need to get him sold as quickly as possible, so we can ALL move on here, to what is a massively important season for our club! I genuinely think £16.25million + add ons and a sell on fee is a really good deal for rangers, especially in the situation now.
We paid a paltry sum of £1million for morelos and we're gaining at least 16 times that for him 👍.
08 Aug 2020 12:00:19
If that’s true I don’t understand what there doing
I know they may want £20 million
But sometimes we can’t all get what we want and to get that sort of money for a player that is unhappy and has not been playing well
Take it and let him move on and let the team get past all the media circus surrounding him right now
So that we can concentrate on playing football And playing the players who are here for the long term.
08 Aug 2020 12:02:58
Some Posters reckon the £16.25 million includes the add-ons. Who knows the true amount?
08 Aug 2020 12:26:52
I think we are also due 10% of any fee to his previous club.
08 Aug 2020 12:45:38
I'd be gobsmacked if we knocked back 16mil👍.
08 Aug 2020 12:45:48
If true, the club are playing a risky game here. There isn't exactly a queue for his signature.
08 Aug 2020 12:53:36
Also don’t believe a bid of 16 million has been made. Morelos agent been meddling for months.
08 Aug 2020 13:23:22
I don't believe any of the valuations in the papers, the clubs are hardly going to tell them are they?
The negotiations will all be done in secret, just like our last 2 signings,
08 Aug 2020 13:39:45
If that's true i am shocked. Just accept the fee and move on. More than covers are business this summer.
08 Aug 2020 14:37:02
Usual paper talk nonsense IMO.
08 Aug 2020 16:05:15
The thing is SirStruth, how do we know there's NOT a queue for alfredo's signature. Everything is kept secret and under wraps at ibrox nowadays, which of course is the proper way! 👍👌.
08 Aug 2020 17:08:24
Really, SGL? I thought you were close to a member of the coaching staff who fed you lists of signing targets and why we chose certain players over Dykes! No secrets from you, eh mate?
08 Aug 2020 18:21:25
Covenanter i get some info from a member of the coaching staff within the rangers training centre mate,
that is correct. But they don't get all the info correct or all the targets correct do they mate? They hear certain things in there as well and of course not everything will be true.
08 Aug 2020 11:01:32
Hi fellow bears. I have a thought regarding Morelos. I have changed my mind on whether to sell him, or not. I was for selling him and using the money to bring in 2 or 3 new players. But thinking about it now I have changed my mind. For two and a half seasons he was a prolific goal scorer. Suddenly after the winter break he couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. I believe the reason was that he didn't have anyone chasing his but. Now with the 2 new strikers, he has strong competition, and he will have to up his game. That is the only way he can put himself in the shop window for the big move he craves. JUST A THOUGHT 😊.
08 Aug 2020 11:04:09
We cannot afford to have his petulance anymore.
08 Aug 2020 11:04:41
He didn't have anyone chasing him for his place the last two years either👍.
08 Aug 2020 11:11:32
Have to disagree, he didn't have anyone chasing him the last 2 season's. He's just not interested in Rangers anymore and no player is bigger than the club. He doesn't want to be here so he should go and we should thank him for what he did, but times up.
08 Aug 2020 11:12:04
It’s over mate, it’s time for him to go with our best wishes for the future.
08 Aug 2020 11:43:12
A player on those wages who needs competition for his place to motivate him is not a player I would want in my team. Need players who respect the club and supporters who are shelling out lots of cash to watch them, buy them, pay their salaries. It’s an insult to turn up and not be interested in entertaining the supporters. I don’t care if your heart is set on a move to another club, honour your contract, honour the supporters, and respect the club.
08 Aug 2020 11:43:56
The thing is, we love our club but Alf doesn’t have any loyalty to us, nor should he have, he’s a Colombian that played in Finland and he wants to go as high as possible in the game.
We’re thankful for having him and wish him all the best, and hope he remembers he was unheard of before playing for the mighty and we have given him the platform to showcase himself on the European stage, for that he should be very grateful.
08 Aug 2020 18:36:11
1 goal this year, outstanding. Awful and we all know it.
08 Aug 2020 10:56:46
Guys Europe is now gone
It's a new season - doesn't matter what Morelos done last season and season before,
What he may or not do this season is all i care about
We need to go out and lay a marker tomorrow against a weak St Mirren
Anything less will be very worrying indeed
While the mob across the road are going about there business quietly and looked to have a crap pre season and then come out and destroy Hamilton very easily
We need to be seen tomorrow that we can also destroy the weaker teams in the league in the same manner
Yes 1.0 is 3 points But it's also the 1 nil games that a team has the opportunities to score and level right up to the last minute and then we drop needles points because we can't put games to bed like last season and the season before
If some of us want Morelos to play he need to start playing well and scoring goals otherwise what is the point in having him in the team? Who now cares what he done past 2 seasons we haven't won anything to shout about
Let's win something this season and play the guys who really are going f to bust a gut and try there damnedest
And give there all
Why should any one on here want anything less
Big season ahead
I want to see every player playing there best showing there grit and determination
No point arguing about Morelos
If he plays he plays but he needs to show more and get back to scoring
Otherwise drop him and play someone who can? It's simple.
08 Aug 2020 11:05:43
Agree with nearly all of your post stig, er do need to put a marker down.
08 Aug 2020 11:05:53
Agree stig👍.
08 Aug 2020 11:07:29
Not a bad post theinstigno1. I agree let's look forward, starting with a good result and performance against stmirren.
08 Aug 2020 11:07:37
Morelos starts on bench tomorrow, let’s see what he can do if called on.
08 Aug 2020 10:28:19
After hearing the managers interview is anyone concerned that we may need to sign another goal keeper this window.
McGregor doubtful through injury again 3rd time since the restart.
I think we may well be seeing the end of the best keeper we have has since the goalie himself.
No one can defy an ageing body
08 Aug 2020 11:14:37
Thankfully McLaughlin looks like a pretty decent replacement, it does not worry me him playing judging by what I have seen so far and good reports from wherever he has been before.
08 Aug 2020 11:31:52
I'm certainly not concerned with McLaughlin but I would be concerned if Andy firth is the other option.
08 Aug 2020 13:44:36
Firth is judged by the coaching staff to be better than either Foderingham or Alnwick. That's why he's here and they're not.
08 Aug 2020 14:18:52
If he was judged to be better he would have played last season when McGregor was injured! He did not it was foderingham.
Firth is Gerrard's friend nothing more.
08 Aug 2020 16:22:50
Covenanter, totally wrong on your assessment of ability of Firth compared to Fod and Alnwick.
08 Aug 2020 10:09:28
Where's the poster gone that said he seen aribo in town 2 week ago having a fag outside? On a Monday 😬😬😬 😂😂😂😂😂
All the posters that guaranteed us 100% shankland, dykes and kamberi were signing by the weekend, every weekend, any weekend.
These pages are some laugh, enjoy your weekend bears and stay safe 😁😁.
08 Aug 2020 10:21:32
Its a good laugh, I like the sfa celtic uefa conspiracy theories they are probably my favourite. 😂😂👍.
08 Aug 2020 11:10:44
hahahaha there's no opening your eyes coldo hahahaha.
08 Aug 2020 11:19:57
Eric🤭😂👍.
08 Aug 2020 12:00:58
GazzaLoyal, how you doing pal? I can't speak for the rest mate but hand on heart honest to god i got the info on lyndon dykes from a coach currently working at the rangers training centre. He told me and another 3 of my mates that before rangers signed kamberi on loan in january there, rangers firstly inquired about taking dykes first.
Livingston told rangers the fee and rangers wouldn't pay it, so moved on to kamberi and brung him in on loan!
Rangers had told dykes they would revisit trying to sign him in the summer, as both gerrard and wilson rated him, as the robust, different style striker they were wanting to sign. Rangers through a 3rd party asked about the fee again a few weeks ago now and made it known the fee they wouldn't go any higher on.
Livingston wanted more though and wilson didn't think his value was £2million. I didn't know this at the time but was told by the same coach that rangers had also earmarked both cedric itten and mirko maric as well as dykes on a 3 striker shortlist months ago, as they wanted this target man type striker as a different alternative for rangers.
Obviously they eventually chose itten as their no.1 choice, which i'm also pleased about. that's the god's honest truth GazzaLoyal and everyone else for that matter on here 🙏.
08 Aug 2020 16:55:37
SGL give it rest we were never interested in Dykes no matter what the voices in your head said.
08 Aug 2020 09:02:30
I sincerely hope Gerrard does not select the Huffalo (no that is not a typo) for the game against StMirren, if he does it shows just how weak he is as a manager. A strong manager would bench him, and let him know in no uncertain terms, he is not walking on the hallowed turf ever again unless I am 100% convinced I will see the old Buffalo, banging in the goals, snorting like a beast, and putting the fear of death into every single defender. And I don’t care about the money as much as the club needs it, you are not playing again pal, until you take that dummy out yer mouth, and you get your head right. Now does anyone see Gerrard being that strong?
08 Aug 2020 09:08:42
beginning to wonder who you hate the most, alfie or gerrard.
08 Aug 2020 09:15:37
Both 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️🤍💙.
08 Aug 2020 09:18:48
A few people on other threads particularly mr grumpy have been asking why fredo should be excluded from the starting line up. Its actually mind boggling why you have to provide an explanation to these people but its the only way they seem to learn as they are clearly incapable of using their eyes and ears😉😁
Gerrard has said he wants fredo fitter and sharper - translates as fredo is unfit and a yard off it.
Gerrard has said that fredo's head has been turned - translates as fredo is not interested.
Gerrard has said that he only wants to work with players that want to be here - translates as fredo doesn't want to be here.
Now why does fredo deserve a start on Sunday🤔 Surely the team comes first and what example would it set to the rest of the team if fredo was to start? If we want to win titles surely we need players that are 100% dedicated to the cause🤷♂️👍.
08 Aug 2020 09:20:25
Muppet I said the same thing yesterday, I personally find home spineless that's why Morelos has played at all this season and it is why tav is still a rangers player.
08 Aug 2020 09:31:13
Coldo I agree the only way he can possibly start is if Gerrard is as spineless as we are beginning to think.
That's we as in those of us who are not blinded by things just because we love the club.
08 Aug 2020 09:34:23
Morelos is our top goal scorer.
Itten is unknown by everyone and now he is our saviour?
Roofe is unfit.
Horses for courses. A half fit, half interested Morelos will still destroy St Mirren and keep him in the shop window. 👍.
08 Aug 2020 09:38:37
Blue bell I admire your optimism but he is not half fit he is unfit (to wear the jersey)
He is not half interested, he is completely disinterested.
08 Aug 2020 09:39:34
Some threads on this would depress a Prozac. We've played one game of the new season and it's all doom and gloom.
08 Aug 2020 09:41:51
Some of the postings in here border on ridiculous. Morelos had to start in the euro game, he’s competition top scorer and we needed him to step up (he obvs didn’t) . If he hadn’t started him bigger questions would have needed answered.
The abuse Tav is getting is bang out of order. seriously Jenkins your saying our manager is spineless as Tav is still a rangers play?! WTF.
08 Aug 2020 09:43:11
Walter smith would never be as spineless as your post bluebell. Scoring a goal or two against st mirren will not encourage clubs to pay north of 15mil either. Where is our dignity for our club?
08 Aug 2020 09:45:15
In these other posts you refer to coldo. I am usually replying to one of your many, many, many posts on Morelos and all his many faults that you go on and on about 😉
You've now become Gerrard's translater now? 🤔 Congratulations 👏
Just to confirm coldo and jsijenkins aren't the same poster, are they? 😁.
08 Aug 2020 09:53:31
Mr grumpy definitely not I can assure you of that.
08 Aug 2020 09:57:10
I have disagreed with coldo on many occasions and vice versa.
08 Aug 2020 10:00:34
All said and done morelos wants away let him go said rangers knocked back £16.25 million Lille this morning don’t know if true we’ve bought 2 strikers think that tells you everything and gerrards body language with him Thursday night times up.
08 Aug 2020 10:06:56
i am astonished with the actual hatred shown on here to both our top goalscorer and asset and our manager. the manager will play Morelos because benching him is not the way to deal with someone low in confidence. actually i hope he does and Itten comes on and does nothing. then you guys will start to appreciate what we have.
it is actually ridiculous that someone who took us so far in europe and without him we would have sat about 3rd or 4th in the league.
very short memories people have. never in my life have i seen or heard rangers fans turn on their players the way you lot have on Morelos. Get a grip.
08 Aug 2020 10:08:48
So I had mentioned it before then mr grumy, interesting🤔😁😉👍.
08 Aug 2020 10:13:39
Huffalo 😂😂.
08 Aug 2020 10:13:47
Barisic true professional ~ Morelos something else.
08 Aug 2020 10:24:47
Fair enough Jenkins 😁.
08 Aug 2020 10:25:45
Coldo its all you ever post about! 👍.
08 Aug 2020 10:33:05
Am I the only one who thought Morelos played quite well last Sunday? He was terrible on Thursday but that happens it doesn't necessarily mean he is disinterested, I would like to see him start on Sunday and take it from there.
08 Aug 2020 10:54:02
I think so jyf but it's easy to interpret his stats in a way that makes it seem he done well mate.
Unfortunately the stat of 1 goal since Dubai is the proof of his drop.
08 Aug 2020 11:09:17
I have too grumpy, people are blinkered😁😉👍.
08 Aug 2020 11:12:23
I agree Mr Grumpy, some on here have had an agenda against Morelos from day 1. Never mind that he has made our club a fortune from European revenues almost single handed with his superb European performances. Never mind that at some points over the last couple of seasons he has been the only one who has carried the fight or that he has been the only one that has been scoring regularly, never mind that when he does move on he will make our club an absolute fortune and be our biggest transfer fee earned, they cannot wait to stick the knife in.
I do however agree that he has really struggled for form recently but I do not think we have had the options in the sqaud until now to rest him.
When he does inevitably leave however every single Rangers fan should reflect on what a debt of gratitude we owe this young man and when, Hopefully Roofe etc start banging the goals in we should also remember but for Morelos goals in Europe and transfer fees earned we mght never have been able to attract these new players in the first place .
08 Aug 2020 11:12:44
He played how he was asked to by the manager against the sheep. He seemed pretty pleased when celebrating Kent's goal. For a player not interested anymore? 🤔
Wouldn't be at all surprised if started against stmirren.
08 Aug 2020 11:22:20
so for coldo - translates as "he who has sole right to talk down to people" hahahahaa you're too much.
08 Aug 2020 11:22:42
So you're saying gerrard's a liar then grumpy, because gerrard said that he wants fredo sharper and fitter, his head is turned and he only wants to work with players that want to be here. Surely you're not that daft grumpy😉😁👍.
08 Aug 2020 11:23:24
Geesadodothat - Morelos will be away this window, I think the majority of us on here can agree and accept that. When he goes, then Itten and Roofe will be the main strikers for us this season so for a Rangers fan to say he hopes Itten "does nothing" is daft. We all appreciate what Morelos has done, however his constant interviews about wanting to play in a more competitive league, his performances since January have been woeful.
08 Aug 2020 11:29:57
well said Cambiger, i really like the guy, might be obvious. i do understand he will go and make the club a fortune and rightly too, gone are the days we can hold on to players with ambition.
But let him go when its right for the club and not get hounded out by the haters on here.
08 Aug 2020 11:41:06
For fredo to score goals he needs to be supplied and he hasn’t had the supply since jan
Fredo is the easy target because it looks like he is away.
08 Aug 2020 11:44:07
Coldo what does SG mean when he says fredo is fit and ready which he has said before the 2 games we have played this season? Can you translate that for me ya 🤡.
08 Aug 2020 11:46:54
Laudrup downed tools after he signed he pre contract with Chelsea, Coldo and done nothing until the summer.
So the great Sir Walter Smith in your eyes must have been spineless 🤔👍.
08 Aug 2020 12:07:23
That's a terrible statement from a rangers supporter? to say they hope itten comes on and does nothing!
Geesadodothat, honestly pal that's an absolute shocking statement to come away with, as far as i'm concerned! 👎👎.
08 Aug 2020 12:15:52
Gerrard has since changed his statement to he wants fredo sharper and fitter KJA9 ya 🤡👍.
08 Aug 2020 12:56:32
Eric, I talk to certain people on here the exact same way they talk to me👍.
08 Aug 2020 16:09:14
Em, naw you don't Coldo (guru)
08 Aug 2020 17:16:01
Em, yes I do DK (nobody) 👍.
08 Aug 2020 08:24:01
Lyon have knocked Juventus, with Ronaldo, out of the Champions League. That makes our win over Lyon pretty good on paper!
08 Aug 2020 08:33:35
Scotland won the World Cup in 1967.
08 Aug 2020 08:53:59
It wasn't lyon's first team we played or anywhere near it👍.
08 Aug 2020 09:01:24
The usual optimism from Coldo I see. Just trying to start the day off with a bit of fun! I give up with some on here.
08 Aug 2020 09:21:44
Its neither optimism or negativity its just a fact doiger, your post would have been fun if it was true. Your post wasn't true or even close to being true. The only fun part was that it was daft. Enjoy the rest of your day😉😁👍.
08 Aug 2020 09:46:23
That's you told doiger! 👍.
08 Aug 2020 09:55:22
Jeezo man, I’m sitting here in Turkey in 37 degree heat sweating like a Tim sitting a spelling test and cannot believe the grief some folk on here are getting. Deep breaths guys it’s all a bit of fun and opinions.
08 Aug 2020 10:23:13
Alloa 😂🤣😂🤣😂.
08 Aug 2020 10:23:38
It is just fun, folk just take it the wrong way😁👍.
08 Aug 2020 10:29:35
Handbags at yer sides ladies, I hope some never get the chance of a beer together high heels will be embedded. Enjoy the banter and different views on here.
08 Aug 2020 11:24:24
open yer eyes coldo - he said on paper. your hahaha too much fun.
08 Aug 2020 11:32:56
People still saying we didn't beat Lyons first team. It doesn't matter. On paper we still beat Lyon football club. We beat the team that was in front of us. We still won a trophy, no matter how rubbish. What would everyone be saying if we had lost against them? A bit of positivity lads.
08 Aug 2020 11:41:41
Not really as it was Lyon reserves that we played.
08 Aug 2020 11:43:47
Mr Grumpy, can you please swap your nom de plume with Coldo. Thanks!
08 Aug 2020 12:17:48
It could be written on the wall eric, it would still be daft and untrue🤭😂👍.
08 Aug 2020 04:01:10
If we sell Morales for £17m reported and Dorna Barisic £12M + Kamara £8m has Stevie g been successful? i'm sure the board would give him a thumbs up, so my question is. does he go if he fails to win a cup? or do we stick by him or would he go himself?
Roofe still has other big move as on 27.
same with the swiss boy few moves in him as only 23.
Are we a selling club now? I thinks so .
Thoughts peeps?
wheres the 20m investment that was coming in?
08 Aug 2020 04:55:44
Pedro signed morelos.
08 Aug 2020 06:11:42
Win the league or be has to go.
08 Aug 2020 06:47:15
The majority of clubs are selling clubs now. Certainly every single club in Scotland.
I think SG will leave if he doesn't win something this season.
08 Aug 2020 07:14:10
1st of all we are one game in o the league season why don’t we at least wait till Xmas to see where we are or even better still wait till the end of season before we starting guessing about what will happen to SG.
08 Aug 2020 07:27:17
We are doing well just to be signing players in the current environment. Investors anywhere and in anything are probably few and far between at the moment. It’s hard times and I’m just thankful the club seem to be managing a way to get through while still improving the side. I don’t think we will sell all three. And yes we are a selling club as are Celtic and there is nothing wrong with that it is the only successful business model for a Scottish club to have.
08 Aug 2020 07:41:59
Barasic is worth a bit more than 12mil. Kamara is a player we need to keep and we'll be lucky to get anywhere near 17mil for morelos. 👍.
08 Aug 2020 08:13:50
Barasic is worth way more than 12m. that's a steal. If we got 5m for Kamara I would take that in a heart beat.
08 Aug 2020 08:21:23
Developing, selling and reinventing In young players with potential is cornerstone of our model.
08 Aug 2020 08:28:46
What a turnaround, a year ago folk were skating Barasic and now he’s out most prized asset!
08 Aug 2020 08:29:31
We definitely are a selling club.
08 Aug 2020 09:30:45
Nothing to do with the board. He’s only been successful if Mr Thumbs Up himself ( Coldo ) says so! 👍🤪👍.
08 Aug 2020 09:47:39
If any so called rangers fan believes we are anything but a selling club then they need a mega reality check. Celtic are a selling club. it’s the only model that works in today’s world. Trust your scouting dept, buy young, hope they perform and make a profit.
08 Aug 2020 09:47:50
Who could you mean alloager?
08 Aug 2020 09:48:18
Spot on bluebell😉👍.
08 Aug 2020 09:53:15
Usually agree with you coldo but just really can't see the fuss about kamara for me he tries to hold onto the ball for too long and a bit lightweight.
08 Aug 2020 10:10:08
Coldo, keep Kamara and sell Morelos, that sums you up pal.
08 Aug 2020 10:12:25
Hi Grumpy, can’t really remember who and to be honest would be no point in naming if I could but I just recall a lot of comments on here about his commitment and being too much of a soft touch. Going from that to our most prized asset takes some doing. Maybe needed time to settle, or a different tact from SG to boost his confidence and get the best from him.
08 Aug 2020 10:25:54
But morelos wants to go geesa and gerrard can't wait for him to go🤷♂️🤦♂️. That post sums you up pal 🤪😂👍.
08 Aug 2020 11:25:27
hahahaha bluebell spot on.
08 Aug 2020 17:04:39
Kamara can't be any worse than he was last season anyway only way is up.
08 Aug 2020 01:57:39
How can that Aberdeen game go ahead when they have 9 players out regular starters? Something dodgy going on there.
08 Aug 2020 07:14:56
The game is called off this weekend and it’s the players that are at fault for being stupid and going out drinking.
08 Aug 2020 07:22:04
They should be allowed to play, if all you catch off that lot is corona virus you’re doing well.
08 Aug 2020 07:43:15
Behave👍.
08 Aug 2020 08:22:59
It’s not dodgy it’s all part of the plan to ensure Celtic are ahead on points and goal difference when they league is called early 😂.
08 Aug 2020 08:29:53
I’m just kidding Caldo, was only a bit of light hearted humour pal.
08 Aug 2020 08:58:19
My post wasn't in response to you alloa, it was aimed at the underlying assumption of conspiracy suggested by rfc98. I thought your post was a belter to be honest alloa🤣👍.
08 Aug 2020 09:58:14
Aw right, thanks Coldo 😂.
08 Aug 2020 10:10:44

So if ABerdeen were in breach of the rules, why is the compliance officer not doing anything, they could easily have brought the game to a halt in Scotland never mind bringing football in to disrepute.
If it was me i would have made Aberdeen forfeit the game and award it as a win to St Johnstone. this isn't a situation where a player caught CV and spread it to others, this is players disobeying the law and the guidelines laid down to allow football to resume in scotland.

Aberdeen should have to play the match using players who test negative. If that means kids then they will respect the rules next weekend.
