Rangers are Rocking; Scottys Financial insight inside.

If our befuddled chum thinks this is a frenzy of sexual activity then one can only pity his insipid experiences that make him think this is a frenzy. Wait did Tartan Tartantula change his name to Larky? I can't mind.

Also weird that the first thought when witnessing folk laughing at his club is to imagine us masturbating, he is a weird guy though.

Obviously given you live on higher plane onanism is either below or beyond you, I'm not quite sure which.

The stats show Charlie Telfer has only played 5 times for United this season, how many times did he play to get you player of the month?

Two starts (once subbied at half time) and one sub.

It wasn't United's player of the month, it was the SPFL Young Player of the Month. If I was being cynical I would have said it was lucky for Rangers he picked that up just before the tribunal came to its verdict. I'm not cynical though.

Christ scroll back a few pages and the thread is full of the wee trolls posts. Making him the biggest onanist on here no doubt. He just can't stand not being the centre of attention it seems. I am just amazed we have not a post gamming himself off yet, been a day or two at least...

Love this one;

One family wanted to know the best deal for Season Tickets and we will have at least three more folks sitting in the Family Section after Christmas

[Kenneth Farrington]

Onerous Christmas parties cancelled:

"The Christmas party has also been cancelled. It just shows what a mess this club is now in.”

Will struggle to see the screen shortly.......

Very harsh on the folk who had nothing to do with the mess things are in.

Surely (as one of the main culprits) McCoist should put his hand in his pocket & put something towards a Christmas night out?

One would have thought the Louden would do the decent thing and put on a free bar.

So I think £204,000 is a perfectly reasonable amount of money for Dundee United to pay for his services.

Yes, I accept that Telfer only featured in one first team game for the Ibrox club - as a substitute against Stenhousemuir last season.

But the 19-year-old is an excellent prospect and has done well at United where he has forced his way into Jackie McNamara's team.

The young midfielder was named SPFL Young Player of the Month for November this week.

The fee agreed upon is not an awful lot of money to pay for an individual with huge potential like that.

Stephen Thompson has, surprise, surprise, reacted with fury to the decision of the SPFL tribunal.

But the United chairman has always got something to moan about - especially when it has anything to do with Rangers.

There is no doubt in my mind he was pandering to United fans with his comments. And not for the first time either.

Thompson certainly hasn't had anything quite as bad to say about the club on the other side of Glasgow over the years.

He has a real bee in bonnet about Rangers for some reason.

I think that he, and many others in the Scottish game, would be far better off minding their own business and concentrating on their own club.

Rangers are the most hated club in Scotland. Nobody likes them and everyone has enjoyed giving them a kicking while they have been down.

When the future of Rangers was being deliberated two years ago Thompson and the United fans were among the most vocal about what should happen.

But Rangers supporters have good memories. They can recall which clubs were against them and which clubs wanted them to do them down.

It will be interesting to see how they respond when the Ibrox club finally gets back into the SPFL Premiership.

These clubs get huge increases in income, from corporate hospitality and ticket sales in general, whenever Rangers come to play.

Their coffers are swelled by tens of thousands of pounds whenever Ally McCoist's side roll into town.

I am sure a few travelling supporters will say: "Do I really want to give my money to this club after what they did and said? Stuff them!"

Anyway, the fee for Telfer has nothing whatsoever to do with Rangers. It was decided by a tribunal.

The Tannadice club had initially offered £60,000 for the player. Then they upped that to £100,000.

Rangers wanted £300,000. So the fee that was agreed was a reasonable compromise.

To say, as Thompson has, that it sets a worrying precedent and could restrict movement of young players between clubs is wide of the mark too.

If Telfer develops on Tayside they will be able to sell him for a far greater transfer fee in the future.

Charlie is a certainly good young player.

He was unhappy that he wasn't featuring in the first team at Rangers and chose to move on.

But the manager was seeing him in training on a daily basis. If he was doing well enough then surely he would have been given a run.

Anyway, young players leave clubs and go on and prove themselves elsewhere all the time in football.

It even happened to Ally McCoist. He was told he wasn't good enough and was shown the door by St. Mirren as a kid when Alex Ferguson was manager.

Anyway, Rangers offered Telfer a new contract in the summer and he decided to turn it down.

To say, as many have, that Rangers don't give young players a chance is just nonsense. Look at the players they have blooded in the last couple of years.

Sure, only Lewis Macleod and Fraser Aird are currently playing on a regular basis in the first team.

But there are others who are out on loan, not least Callum Gallagher and Barrie McKay, who are more than good enough to feature in the future.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they were brought back to Ibrox for the second half of the season.

These players have shown what they are capable of when they have been given the nod by McCoist in the past and can do so once again.

[adamntg]

Wow. Is that from a "newspaper"!? Incredible stuff.

[sbcmfc]

Is Jim Traynor at the evening times now?

[sbcmfc]

Wow. Is that from a "newspaper"!? Incredible stuff.

Doesn't say who it's by (on the 1st link), can only presume it's an ex rangers player given the tone?

I don't disagree with all of it, but the animosity between the 2 clubs is certainly a 2 way street!

[Kenneth Farrington]

That laughable piece looks like it's from the brain of Big DJ?

[Maq]

Anyone know who wrote that?

Don't remember rangers asking for £300k for him either?

[sbcmfc]

Can you imagine in "the good old days" the sort of derogatory offer rangers would have made if the shoe was on the other foot!

[TartanJon]

That piece looks like it was written by the resident nutcase Rangers fan at my work who has been threatening everybody for the last three years

[Khana Lagur]

I can't believe any sub-editor would allow a line that runs "Thompson certainly hasn't had anything quite as bad to say about the club on the other side of Glasgow over the years." to stand.

And I don;t know any editor that would allow such an unbylined opinion piece to appear in their paper. If it's opinion, rather than editorial, it should carry a name.

Thought it was perhaps a spoof, but appears not.

Is the ET losing the plot?

[ParisInAKilt]

Was just about to post the same, incredible that an editor allowed that story to be shared.

Brilliant reading though haha

Oh stop it or you'll make me cry.

[Chief]

So in a nutshell, a boy who couldn't get a game for Rangers and now doesn't really get a game for United is somehow lauded as a special talent and United are miffed after actually having to pay for him after trying to get him on the cheap?

[ShedTA]

Quite laughable that article. Just heard ally mccoist whining on on the radio. Think Thompson should bury the hatchett and ask ally along to the utd christmas party, seeing as super is not getting one of his own! ?

In a nutshell, aye!

Although it does seem a higher price than most folk would expect for a kid who had only played one game
