I believe that’s Coronavirus.

Yep, 6-5 on pens after 1-1 draw. I noticed the back-up goalie was playing and Austin, Cennerazzo and Reid not named in the squad. Assume all were injured. BSC at Kelty on Tuesday night in the league, another big game. They are a very hard side to get the better of.

Italy average age of death is 81 with a large percentage having underlying health issues.

We have seen a few of these crop up over the years....bird flu and SARS from memory. I can’t remember any of those causing the cancellation or requirement to be football games behind closed doors.

I’m all for sterner tests, especially as Berwick are at Bonnyrigg two weeks today. A result there the weekend before Kelty go to Bonnyrigg would be ideal. Total of 51 clubs in the west now expressed interest in WoSFL. Sounds like the end of the Junior game if even half of those sides move.

Gerrard better than Scholes IMO. Read Peter Crouch’s book. Mostly light heated but his final chapter is on Gerrard. Best player he ever played with. Talks about first encounter with him as a youth team player and also playing with him. He could do everything, run, pass tackle shoot. He dragged average Liverpool sides to honours they wouldn’t have had without him.

Again, a fair point that its difficult to argue with. It probably just shows the levels we have dropped to and the desperation to get back to a major tourney that any route will be considered nowadays.

I can't help but think that if this was any other Rangers manager who had lost top the bottom of the league side in the league, then lost to the bottom of the league side in the cup and then lost to the bottom of the league side at home in the league in the space of a few weeks then he would be out the door ASAP.

True. But we have more chance of getting to Euro 2020 via the Nations League, beating teams of round about our level, than we did in a group containing the best team in the world and Russia. I would rather be dicked by Belgium at the finals of a major tournament than in the qualifiers.

Playing teams of our own level in competitive games is good for us IMO. Getting dicked home and away by the likes of Belgium is very dispiriting.

48 clubs from the West have submitted notes of interest in a West of Scotland League. Doesn’t mean they would automatically move over but it seems they want to know about proposed league set up.

Kelty still have a couple of difficult games home and away v BSC in the remaining fixtures so Bonnyrigg still have a shout. BSC at Kelty on 1Oth March, a win there means Kelty can go to Bonnyrigg on 28th and a draw would suit.

If Steve Gerrard wasn’t the high profile Steven Gerrard, ex Liverpool and England, do you think he would have been given as much time? That’s why I suggested Murty or Warburton but let’s say anyone without the profile he has? I would think there would be lots wanting him that manager out. I have watched fair bits of both losses at Tynecastle and there seems to be a complete lack of fight and quality in those two games. That being said there has been plenty of fight in the 2 OF games prior to the split.

Have they? I must have missed that. I would take Alex Thomson’s “tabloid” reporting with a pinch of salt. He was trying to claim that CBC were located in a building just outside Celtic Park and that’s where kids were abused. He even provided a very helpful map/picture with said building ringed to show how close it was to Celtic Park. Unfortunately for his claims, said building was the previous ticket office/Celtic pools shop and never housed anything to do with CBC. You would think any serious journalist making claims of this nature would have their facts correct. Obviously not....which calls into doubt all other parts of his claims IMO.

The way he was talking last night it definitely sounded like he was questioning himself on whether he wanted to stay in the job. Would be interested to hear the Rangers fans opinions on if that was say Murty or Warburton who had won (probably) nothing in 2 seasons while being well supported financially then would they be still in a job?

He seems to have managed to fit the entire starting 11 and subs under it after the game. Some going. "I am feeling pain right now because I want to win here, I am desperate to win here. Looking from the side today, I didn't get the impression that the feeling amongst my players was the same.“ Whats happened to the Carpathian Maradona‘s Bairn? I was getting told he was the Second Coming a couple of weeks ago.

To be fair I would fancy my chances of defending those long balls into the box, even at 50 and with a bad bout of sciatica at the moment, if I was up against Defoe. He was, and still is at times, a good striker but I don’t think any of his previous team’s persisted in playing high balls up to him. Rangers have, twice now, at Tynecastle.

Cracking game today Wullie. 3-2 Kelty in front of a great crowd of 1,513. Kelty fully deserved 3-1 HT lead. Dylan Eastons goal for second as good a strike as you will see all season. Lee Currie’s free kick for Bonnyrigg goal a belter too. Bonnyrigg with the wind at their backs in second half got one back with about 30 mins too go. No idea how they didn’t get a third as there was some fair old stramashes in Kelty penalty box. They are a big old side. Sets it up well for next month at Bonnyrigg.

Not my toys as a bairn but my bairns toys. Hot Wheels. Absolute fucking SHIT. Did absolute fucking nothing like the advert on the telly did. Will say it again, utter, overpriced SHIT.

I love your optimism! I was stunned to learn Mitrovic has 34 in 55 for Serbia.

Confident of beating Israel and would be a bit more confident if final was at home. But away, against either side, its a very big ask. I don't think our defence is good enough and I don't think we have a big enough goal threat. In comparison Norway have an absolute monster of a goal threat in Haaland and Serbia have Mitrovic. We have no one at that level.

You have probably described most of my aways around that period. I left Cardiff City stadium after 45 mins of that game. Are you sure you are not me?

Fair enough. Hopefully once everyone has got over the excitement of "new meat" on the board then you can get on with the odd decent post.

Articulate Rangers fan, I am going for The Wolf. Still won't stop Ormond thinking its ron though....ohh I see that's already happened. What a riddy.

Protestant Superiority Mentality, all bundled up into one phrase - We Are The People. I used to take great delight in seeing Celtic beating Aberdeen and Dundee Utd, as well as ANY away win, in the 80's when things were more level. Nowadays its only putting Rangers back in their box gives me an interest. Well them and regular destruction's of Hearts to bring on another bout of Brassrubber seethe.
