I'm reading a horror story in braille something scary is going to happen I can feel it.

08 Oct 2020 22:35:36
Honestly. See during that penalty shoot out. A don’t think Av ever been so disinterested abt anyhin in awe my days. Only watching because me neighbour came round. Think a feel
Asleep twice. Then he continues to celebrate pen while a sit with absolute zero emotion. But he’s away happy that’s the main thing. 🤷‍♂️.

08 Oct 2020 23:06:36
Shouldnt have your neighbour in your house 🙈🙈.

09 Oct 2020 00:30:10
Herewego- no need to worry, he brought a big carry oot, so all is hunkydory!

09 Oct 2020 07:26:44
Good social distance fgs.

09 Oct 2020 07:37:14
And everybody wonders why the challenge rate is running out of control. Literally, I've been in the house, out for exercise, in 5 or 6 shops since March and that's it. I haven't been to a cafe, a pub or a restaurant. I'm 63 and in good health but who do you think is going to catch the virus? That's right, it will be me and all because the minority of people are openly flouting the rules. Apologies for the rant. Pissed aff!

09 Oct 2020 13:27:02
I'm the same seeker, only 39 but apart from work and shopping etc I'm never out. Havent saw some of my family, including my dear old gran who's 98, for months, and folk are having the neighbours round to watch the scotland game.

09 Oct 2020 17:08:16
Well am 41 year old type 1 diabetic and think it is a load of rubbish your being told. Your falling for scare tactics. Not my problem. You stay in, worry about the big bad plandemic while your immune system levels drop so you do catch anything about. Hand on heart would be quite happy to take the big scary bug so my body can learn to fight it.
You sheep can stay in and listen to boris who doesn’t know his own guidelines or jimmy krankie up here lol. It’s actually comical u are listening to the drivel they are telling ye. While your are in the house tomoz night scared to go do what you want to do as part of your human rights. I will be out with a few mates celebrating him getting married. 🤷‍♂️ Wish you all the best but I and plenty others ain’t sitting about like sheep. 👍. Get yourself out and enjoy your life as best you can.

09 Oct 2020 17:40:27
How you going to do that was the boozers shut? Whether we agree with it or not it's the law. U can't say I'd take it and just think that's ok surely? What about the people u could potentially infect, your endangering people lives you screwball.

09 Oct 2020 19:03:17
I never said I would gladly take it but walk abt. Obviously I would self isolate and let my body fight against it. But while I don’t have it and the rest of my amigos are showing no signs the. We will celebrate my mates stag night.

09 Oct 2020 19:05:11
Agree 100% herewego. 12thman, I'd be concerned if I were diabetic as the virus seems to affect people with this condition and/ or overweight. I get that people want to try and live as full a life as they can, but we really need to screw the nut here and just be sensible. This thing won't be beaten until we all start pulling together. I've done everything by the book and will continue to do so. You can't do much about the bams unfortunately (i'm not saying you're a bam, 12thman btw. I know by your posts you are an educated man) . Hate preaching to anyone but please everybody be vigilant and stay safe 👍.

09 Oct 2020 19:28:22
Seeker. I appreciate your words also. But like every other virus we bend to get it so our body can learn to fight it. I took my flu jab the other day. Not because I’m scared or was advised but purely based on the nurse at the docs is my cousin and she caught me on the hop lol. The fact they need a test to tell if you have it or not but it’s thT serious it will kill you is laughable. If we lock ourselves in and be scared to go out it’s ain’t going to help you either. In fact it’s causing people to commit suicide in some cases. The government should have done what they are doing the now at the start. They have no clue and they are making it up as they go along. Your joy going to sit ther and tell me
Your not slightly confused with the the guidelines regarding a cafe and a restraint lol or what different. It makes if you have a coffee or a pint. It’s comical. I’m not a party animal nor do I drink a lot but I ain’t going to let my mate who is getting married sit himself the weekend he due to get married and not are my friends. 👍👍.

09 Oct 2020 21:07:10
But you could be walking about with the virus infecting people before you have symptoms and know to take a test and isolate 👍 I agree we need to learn to live with it, but I'll go with the guidelines scientists and experts set before the conspiracy brigade mate, no offence meant.

09 Oct 2020 21:21:17
12thman 👍.

10 Oct 2020 00:09:33
I also listen to experts though mate. 2 sides to every story. Which one is right though. You continue to believe your end I will mine. It’s quite simple. Get on with it 100% agree on what it actually is or isn’t. Absolutey miles away. The truth always comes out in the end. 👍.

10 Oct 2020 00:12:57
Ps. It’s not a conspiracy. I have not mentioned a thing abt what the bigger pic is or what it maybe. All I have said is that it’s a flu which we need to get to learn how to fight it. 👍.

08 Oct 2020 21:06:13
Helander for me plays best in Europe and in the bigger domestic games when the defence sits a wee shade deeper, and the game is in front of him, reads the game well, katic maybe more suited to rough and tumble of spl.

08 Oct 2020 21:20:30
Big fill is our best defender.

08 Oct 2020 22:46:25
Correct re Phil. Bgate.

09 Oct 2020 07:39:16
Agree, he has been brilliant since coming back in.

09 Oct 2020 09:36:12
Big helander had pace he wouldn't be at us. Burst of pace away from being a top player.

08 Oct 2020 20:21:36
Watching this Scotland game and i'm nearly sleeping. International football is so boring. Remember Oli Mcburnie was linked with us just because he was a Rangers fan🤣 He is terrible. Its painful watching him Labour through this game.

08 Oct 2020 20:36:18
Even worse is listening to Naismith!

08 Oct 2020 20:53:04
Haven't watched any of it.
It is normally a celtic tribute act so no interest.

08 Oct 2020 22:13:35
It’s right up there way the worst game I have ever seen.

08 Oct 2020 17:23:53
John25, young McCrorie on loan at the sheep called into full national squad. Looking forward to my glass of red at Royal Troon.

08 Oct 2020 18:41:14
Great news for the lad and his family. Unfortunately he has no future with us.

08 Oct 2020 18:49:20
Bankie, young Mcrorie not good enough for Gerrard. Mcinnes is raving about him and is indeed playing really well. Now called into the national team.

08 Oct 2020 20:09:02
Mcrorie was one of best players on the pitch numerous times for rangers.
His power and dig definitely offers something different to what we have in middle of the park.
Just not the type of player Gerrard uses he prefer to play technical players kamara/ aribo etc but make no mistake Ross Mcrorie is a good player and will have a decent career.

08 Oct 2020 20:34:10
Totally agree jzer.

08 Oct 2020 20:54:04
I think what let Ross down a wee bit was his ball retention was a wee bit slack at times but he a good player.

08 Oct 2020 21:49:02
Bgate agree. He would not get a game in our mid and tav is delivering.
Good luck to Ross.

08 Oct 2020 13:45:19
Has anyone else seen the Europa league squads released today? Jones and Defoe drop out. Apparently unable to make up the home grown quota so only allowed to register 21 players hence the reason for their omission. It seems like the gaffer prefers Barker over jones and although I’m not entirely clued up on registration rules for euro competitions I would have thought given jones time at killie he would have trained in Scotland longer than barker?

08 Oct 2020 13:52:59
Barker doesn't count as homegrown mate, only four in the squad are. For every homegrown you are short you have to name one less out of 25. So squad can only be 21 and looks like came down to straight choice between the two if you get me?

08 Oct 2020 14:00:02
But do you not become homegrown after having trained in the country over a certain period of time. That’s why I mentioned Jones time at killie as I would have thought that he would be homegrown?

08 Oct 2020 14:00:20
Think McGregor, Jack, Stewart and maybe Arfield are our four home grown?

08 Oct 2020 14:15:57
I thinks its 3 years between 15 and 21 counts as homegrown.

08 Oct 2020 14:15:58
Only home grown if that training was when they were a certain age, I think between 15 and 18 or 21. Something like that. So if a player who is say, English or Northen Irish trained with a Scottish club for a certain period of time between ages of 15 and 21 then they are classed as home grown. Jones didn’t do that.

08 Oct 2020 14:16:54
It's three years between the years of 15-21 and Jones kicked about north East England and first, moving to Killie at 21/ 22.

It's a total minefield though! Been stung with it many times on football manager haha.

08 Oct 2020 16:34:12
So either way
Jones out and as such only allowed to have 21 players
It if he included some more home grown players we could have 25 in squad is that right?

08 Oct 2020 19:14:48
No thestig. The 4 spaces left are unfilled by home trained quota. If u don't have them u go without, I think.

08 Oct 2020 19:29:50
We could have had four more if all were home grown or if eight overall in the squad we are allowed to have 25. Reduces by one for each homegrown missing from eight.

08 Oct 2020 11:33:45
love Andy Halliday. Legend lol.

08 Oct 2020 14:04:55
Halliday will always be welcome back. Limited player but great heart.
Imagine if all our players had his heart.
Legend gets thrown around a lot.
But for attitude. Heart, desire, effort, and love for the club. Not many people beat Andy Halliday.

08 Oct 2020 17:28:12
True Blue, always be welcomed at ibrox, it’s something his parents are very proud of too, probably was a bit below the quality requirements but heart of solid blue.

08 Oct 2020 19:26:18
Yea Andy a good blue nose welcome back any time.

08 Oct 2020 09:13:31
Amazing heartfelt video montage made up by sky sports for Steve Davis. Previous managers and players congratulating him on his appearance record. Pochitinno rated him as highly as the likes of insiesta with regards to keeping himself fit and healthy playing for both club and country. Huge well done to Steve Davis. Playing well recently also may I add. One last push for this title
🔴⚪️🔵.

08 Oct 2020 10:15:16
The wee man is a model pro and a class act.

08 Oct 2020 10:54:49
Legend👍.

08 Oct 2020 11:35:48
Still the best midfielder we have at the club!

08 Oct 2020 12:24:26
Hopefully he can get a few more caps and be the most capped player in British history.
Well done Steven Davis your a true professional and hence why he's still going strong and able to play at a high level.

08 Oct 2020 17:29:53
Well said 12th, great Rangers man.

08 Oct 2020 18:21:49
Steven Davis deserves all the terrific accolades that's came his way 👍 Fantastic midfielder still and a model pro 👌Immense achievement davo and i wish the guy all the best!

08 Oct 2020 01:02:23
A fit Jack Wiltshire playing 40 plus games a season for us would undoubtedly be a huge signing for us. He is some player on his game and not too old that he can't rediscover some good form. However, I am sick of us signing players that have been injury prone prior to signing for us only for us to have to pay up their contracts to get rid of them . If we do sign him I know how good he could be but worry he will be sitting in the dressing room injured all the time.

08 Oct 2020 06:33:15
MOCBear, i totally agree with you mate. There's absolutely no doubt that an injury free jack wilshere is a fantastic, very talented midfielder, who can glide past opponents and has the killer ball in his armoury 👌 Remember when he was coming through the ranks at the arsenal, he was labelled by his peers as possibly the next paul gascoigne, as although not as good as gazza, no midfielder in england has ever been, over the last half century, wilshere had a similar midfield style to the great ONE👌.
No risk whatsoever, if we can attract wilshere up here to train with us at the rangers training centre, to run the rule over him for a period of time, to get an overall look at him!
Even then if everything does seem fine, we should offer him at the beginning, a pay as you play contract to see how everything goes. But i totally agree that IF we could get wilshere and keep him fit, there's not ANY midfielder currently playing in scotland, anywhere near as good as him!

08 Oct 2020 07:03:01
Why would JW be interested in a pay as you play contract? Why would anybody want to take a player who can’t play anymore? This joke has blown completely out of proportion.

08 Oct 2020 07:04:26
If we got him then 40 games a season he would be a fantastic signing moc.

08 Oct 2020 07:43:21
He's only played 60 games in the last 8 seasons, there's no way he will play 40 games, he will be lucky to survive SGs training sessions.

08 Oct 2020 08:06:45
The prospect of Wilshere and Davis lining up in the same midfield is mouth watering! If it happens, and that is still a big IF, a pay as you play deal would have no risks for Rangers. Don't be fooled into thinking that Wilshere is soft and fragile. He is a tough player who has been unlucky with injuries. I for one would be delighted if he joined us. He could be the difference between #55 or not.

08 Oct 2020 08:16:17
I said same sort of thing last night he would be a good signing
Some folk shot the idea down 😳

To me he would be. A marquee signing for us.

08 Oct 2020 08:41:32
Sweep I thought that too, however info fro here indicates he has in fact played many more. It appears financial reasons restricted his games at West Ham.

08 Oct 2020 09:16:45
He will not be signing for Rangers so the point is totally irrelevant he will not play 1 game for us let alone 40. It’s just a made up story to try and sell papers.

08 Oct 2020 09:41:09
I think we have no intention of signing him? Gerrard will shoot it down at his next press meeting.

08 Oct 2020 09:43:54
Financial reasons will probably stop him playing up here also. As much as I would love to see him pull on a rangers top I can’t see it. When we signed gazza we had the financial ability to do so. We ain’t got the money for him.

He could sign for championship team and earn a lot more than what we can offer plus he wouldn’t have to up sticks to Scotland. Lovely if it happens. I had 3 boys fitting my kitchen yesterday 2 of them Tim’s talking abt us winning the league if wilshire signs. While the 1 rangers fan was telling them we are going to win it anyway. He’s a good guy 😂🔴⚪️🔵.

08 Oct 2020 10:45:53
Apparently he posted himself when he was released that he has been fit for 8 months.
So your point John25 that it is probably financial reasons for not playing for West Ham is true. And I’m sure they sold a player to West Brom to raise money which the fans and Mark Noble ( captain) weren’t very happy about.

08 Oct 2020 10:28:45
My thoughts exactly, Barrowlad! Until Gerrard, or the club state there is an interest, it's just paper talk.

08 Oct 2020 10:48:44
If he could play 40 games a season he wouldn't be linked with us🤔👍.

08 Oct 2020 10:57:34
Don't get me wrong wilshere is a quality player and you would take him in a heartbeat, he would be class. 👍.

08 Oct 2020 11:25:36
If Wilshere is a marquee signing, does that mean he will play with intent?

08 Oct 2020 12:01:16
Yes, very good Efriar. I hear he has a great left peg. Seriously though, if Wilshere were to join us there is the lure of European football which Championship sides and most of the other EPL sides can't offer. I wouldn't expect 40 games, maybe 20 chosen carefully, including the European games and don't risk him on any artificial pitches. I'd love to see him up against Broonie at Porkheid.

08 Oct 2020 13:00:48
Doiger he can't play European football until February with us, the deadline for europa league has pasted now.

08 Oct 2020 13:47:35
Bluebell English media says he was on 50 k per game appearance money. A lot off money, but he was quality,
Coldo makes good point, if he could play 40 games he’s not coming here.
