  1. Going by the way McGinn and Clarke responded to questions about him it doesn't sound overly positive.
  2. Was just about to post similar. The ref won't necessarily go to the monitor to determine if it's offside but will to determine if a player is interfering or not. So in that case fair enough however....if that is the case it must be one of the quickest VAR offside calls since it was introduced.
  3. So they're now saying the goal was disallowed due to offside. I might be wrong but has a referee ever been sent to the monitor for an offside before? Surely VAR just draw the lines and tell him if it's offside or not? If he's went to the monitor it's because they've told him to review a foul and it now seems they're backtracking and trying to shoehorn in the offside excuse.
  4. No, we can win it if we end with a better goal difference than Spain. Unlikely as we are +11 and they are +15 now but if we rattle the in against Georgia and Norway and they squeak 1-0s who knows!!
  5. I thought I’d read it was Wolverhampton it originated in but might be mixing that up with the Villa/Brum story above.
  6. I’ve heard the “marauding Huns” thing in relation to hooliganism as well but that Alsatian story sounds incredibly unlikely!
  7. Hopefully not. I think he’s only really been mentioned as a contender in the Scottish press, I don’t think there’s any substance to it.
  8. The biggest of no’s from me. Glad to see Lampard seems to be out of the running. Looks to be down to Muscat, Knutsen and Clement. Of those 3 I’d lean towards Clement I think. Interesting to see that we apparently approached Lopetegui so at least we’re thinking a bit outside the box.
  9. I’d say those songs or flags are linked to their religious and/or political beliefs.
  10. I’ll start off by saying I personally take no offence in being called a Hun. I’m pretty sure when the term was first used it was primarily to reference Rangers fans however over time it seems to have evolved. When it’s also used in various forms to describe the likes of Hearts or Airdrie fans who tend to possibly have the same political or religious view points as your average Rangers fan then I think it’s quite clear it’s no longer being used to describe one clubs supporters and that’s when it starts to get a bit murky for me. There’ll be a lot of mental gymnastics from people trying to defend it but it is used to define a particular demographic of people, as well as a catch all for Rangers fans, and in the majority of those cases it tends to be in a negative sense.
  11. Sima was the only outfield player to get pass marks last night, and probably for the last few games. I think he might be decent in a better team. Lammers and Dessers look like they’ve won a competition.
  12. He sounded like he was on suicide watch from kick off. Watching this Rangers side regularly will do that to you to be fair.
  13. Kevin Thomson. Usually quite like him but he’s been murder tonight.
  14. We are utterly abysmal. The worst Rangers team I’ve seen in a long, long time. And I’ve seen a Rangers team with Kevin Kyle in it!! I just want a bag of cans and 2020/21 back!!
  15. Watched it back this morning and while it is still probably a foul, the Livi player went down like a ton of bricks.
  16. Id agree. If it had been the other way round I’d have been asking for a foul.
  17. Different times. 145 goals in 163 games for Rangers and got 2 Scotland caps in that time!! We’d be building a team round him now!
  18. I'll stick some more up when I get a chance. All taken with my iPhone which, while it's a decent camera, don't really do it justice. Had enough trouble dragging the kit I had and my fat arse up the mountain though so a decent camera would have (literally) tipped me over the edge! 😄
  19. Tried it? I've had to go cold turkey since I got back on Sunday! 😄
  20. It's really good but they made it needlessly confusing when it switched to Netflix and rebranded the original C4 Top Boy as "Summerhouse" and just calling the new Netflix seasons Top Boy. I know a couple of people coming to it late who thought the Netflix seasons were the first ones and Summerhouse was a sequel/prequel. PS - If you enjoyed that and haven't seen it check out Snowfall on iPlayer.
  21. Can't disagree with that. Can also add Lewis Ferguson and Josh Doig to that list of players we should have been in for.
  22. I think the Betis win has bought him some time. Win on Wednesday and he’s 2 wins away from the first silverware in a few years. Still think it’s too early to be pushing the button just yet but he needs to find a way to get them playing with some attacking flair
  23. He's not even playing at Man U! They're not as strong as they used to be at CH (when they had Ferdinand, Terry, Carragher etc) but I don't think there's anyone in our squad you could say is definitely better than what they have.
  24. I'd have Robertson over Chilwell too. And I'd have Alan Rough as he is now over Pickford.
