BB4 the dig is the requirements to challenge me and me alone on players based on nationalities alone.
I offered a potential explanation as to why Skov Olsen was not brought on.
In no way is this a defence of him!
At no point have I fiercely backed Aasgaard yet i continuously get brought up in conversation with him.
Rosto actually worded it well to not look like a dog but considering he constantly bombards me over Scandinavian players it's safe to assume that he was having another dig.
Now I have never said that these 2 signings have been successful.
I have also never advocated for the signing of Aasgaard.
I am happy for my honest opinion to be challenged.
I am not happy being challenged on a player i had no input or happiness in signing.
The only reason Aasgaard gets brought into conversation is because he chose to represent Norway.
Now if people wish to discuss as adults then let's discuss real opinions based on the player without mentioning nationalities.
I am not biased but people are certainly biased against me for that reason.

Would you agree that Skov Olsen has been a failure and should not be signed by Rangers?
27 Apr 2026 09:47:21
You definitely have 100% backed Aasgaard Aphe. It's no biggie, mate, you don't want to criticise these 3 players and show them a lot of support, fair enough. Funnily enough you're happy to critique other players. It's all good, mate, it's your gift to do so. I'll challenge that, that's my gift. ?
27 Apr 2026 09:49:25
I would agree that it has been a resounding failure at this current time.
I would also agree that it would be difficult to defend spending the quoted figures to sign him.
It is my understanding, however, that the club still have the intention to keep commitments to the player and believe that he will come good.
These things are continuously under scrutiny and may change at any point.
27 Apr 2026 09:51:50
No, Rosto, you wish to have a go at me about players purely on nationalities.
I will give a rational take on every player regardless.
27 Apr 2026 10:05:57
If you feel that way, Aphe, then that's up to you. I think you've backed them strongly. I think I've challenged that backing.
You've backed Rohl early doors (no salami there. ?). Good shout, and I support that. I couldn't give a flying bahookie what country they are from, but I'm not going to waste energy convincing you of that.
Opinions aren't that precious, even my own, but you have 100% backed these guys. Would be amazing if they came good. You also backed the Naderi signing, and didn't agree early doors about his injury history being a concern.
It's all good, it's just a debate. Not life or death.
27 Apr 2026 10:08:34
Aph. You like Scandinavian players, right? Am I correct in saying you're German? If I'm wrong, I humbly apologize.
27 Apr 2026 10:13:01
What's the point in debating with you when you can't understand simple answers?
The only time I have backed Aasgaard is when I backed up his numbers provided and used this one statement I.
"If Thelo played for Motherwell or Hearts everyone would want him signed."
As for Antman, yes I backed his signing and I have no idea what is going on with him behind the scenes.
He was the best creative player in the Eredivisie the year prior to us signing him. Sonia, clearly a good player.

Whatsmyname, I am half and half.
I am Norwegian, born to a Norwegian father and German mother.
I make recommendations of players based on my knowledge of players.
I do not recommend many British players because, quite frankly, I do not know enough about them.
I bring rumours when I can about links, and speak about deals when it is appropriate.
27 Apr 2026 10:22:37
I understand the answers, mate, believe it or not, I am educated to a very decent standard. The understanding of your debates isn't above my intellectual processing. I just don't agree with a few of the things you have posted previously, and I've enjoyed challenging them.
I understand perfectly well, thank you.
27 Apr 2026 10:26:02
Why are you incapable of understanding, accepting and moving on then, Rosto?
27 Apr 2026 10:32:19
That it, Aph, revert to type. When anyone questions you, we get the usual: 'it's because I am Norwegian' or 'you insult people' or 'let's have adult conversation'.
Give it a rest.
27 Apr 2026 10:36:54
Not at all, Jasp. It is an adult conversation and if you lack the understanding of what drives the post then it would be best to scroll by and ignore it.
27 Apr 2026 10:54:56
I can understand, accept and move on, but honestly, mate, Aphe, come on, pal. You are still posting today/yesterday about Olsen's confidence etc.
His confidence is probably so low because he is performing poorly and he is a highly paid professional who needs to take responsibility for where he is at in his career currently.
Rangers don't need an £8m sub to work on as a project. We needed the £6m Czech guy who had the balls to skoosh the Celtic fans and banged in 18 goals from the wing last season.
But hey, you want to focus on me picking on him and you about nationality etc, then that is your gift. I think you are letting yourself down by bringing the debate of players to this level.
I believe in Rangers as a club for everyone. I backed MoJo, Mark Walters, Amoruso becoming our first foreign captain and now you believe I am somehow prejudice against your background and that of the players who have similar backgrounds.
It is your gift, but it is not serving you well, mate.
27 Apr 2026 11:03:37
It is blatantly obvious.
Why have you never questioned my support of Djiga, Diomande, Gassama?
The only answer I can see is they are not Scandinavian and do not fit your narrative.
27 Apr 2026 11:04:12
Can't believe Rosto isn't capable of moving on the way you do, Aph.
27 Apr 2026 11:09:18
Teddy, I can take an answer and accept the answer.
I will not return to the same question every single time we lose a match.
27 Apr 2026 11:12:26
BigDado, that is a point I wished to make.
I would understand questions being asked of Aasgaard because of his poor performance yesterday.
Yet again I am questioned about my support of two players who did not play yesterday.
27 Apr 2026 11:25:01
Aphe, if that's true and the club wishes to commit to the signing, then new owners, but nothing has changed. ??
27 Apr 2026 11:34:32
Hahaha, Aphe, you're really making me laugh now, pal. I have nothing against Scandinavians, I have a very good friend who is Orcadian and he is a good Rangers man too ???.
God knows why you are bringing up those 3 players, which I have mostly positive things to say. However, Gassama does my head in with his decision making.
Anyway, it's been weird and fun and remember; next time you bang on about Olsen's confidence, I may have something to say about that. Then you can bang on about me being anti-Scandinavian and you can attempt to insult my intelligence about lack of understanding. Whatever, all good!
Skol, mate. ?
27 Apr 2026 11:37:42
I've had my chat on Olsen. He was signed for winning the league this season, be utter madness signing him now.
27 Apr 2026 13:09:02
Aph, it was definitely a defence of Olsen, or why make the post at all, mate. I honestly don't know what's going on with you and Rosto, I'm not aware of it. I stand by what I said. I thought all replies were respectful, but I'm not walking in your shoes.
BTW, Aph, I wasn't having a dig, it truly wanted to understand, maybe I'm missing something, mate, no hard feelings. Thanks for reply. ?
27 Apr 2026 13:54:18
Rostosto - Re Cerny.
You're right, he did eventually come good, but bear in mind he was rotten for quite a while, and our wonderful, supportive fanbase wanted him sent back.
For what it's worth, I didn't see any anti Norwegian bias. I like Aph as a poster, and you two obviously have a special kind of bromance going on. ??
27 Apr 2026 14:24:56
Haha, Athole, I like the guy. He's got a lot of bold recommendations and backs guys he likes.
I think he's pulled back a bit on his backing a bit today. Fair enough! He's not keen on being challenged. Again, fair enough.
He's way off it to suggest I have some anti-Scandi thing going on.
27 Apr 2026 14:28:12
Scandinavian players have been held in high regard in Scotland for years aphe. Many would argue, myself included, that the greatest players to wear the jersey of both Rangers and Celtic came from scandinavia.
