Theroadlesstravelled Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Deserved. He has become a national treasure. He also bucks the trend and shows you can be associated with Rangers without being a Jimmy Bell, Kyle Lafferty monstrous bigot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) With both Lawrence and Roofe being confirmed as ruled out for the season, is this the worst we've ever been hit injury wise? There needs to be some questions asked around our medical/training/rehab procedures given the amount in my opinion. Having a look at the stats, it is not pretty reading at all over the season. Helander: 58 matches missed (started last season) Souttar: 43 matches Hagi: 36 matches Lawrence: 35 matches Roofe: 35 matches Ridvan: 22 matches Davis: 22 matches Matondo: 16 matches Goldson: 10 matches Kamara: 10 matches Jack: 9 matches Seems ridiculously high, so what is going on? And that's with me not really including 1-2 match absences for some. Edited March 10, 2023 by AJF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need is a keeper and that team would probably win most weeks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magisterial levels of posting from you, JinkyBhoy. You're positioning yourself as the adult figure of The Cheeks. Someone has to!

Hagi was just bad luck really, while Davis is just getting old. 9 games is probably decent for Jack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had one bad injury before hand but not sure he has been perpetually injured like some others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met Super Ally once when he was buying a tumble dryer. I was buying one too and thought he was lifting mine when the lad brought it through from the storeroom. Ended up helping him into his van with it. Met Bertie Auld once too. What a funny guy and what a story teller. Should have been on stage with the patter. Not as funny as Billy McNeill. Met him with Danny McGrain when I was a student. McGrain was my hero when I was a boy, I was a fullback and wanted to play like him. Nae chance of that. Billy was in WH Smiths for a book signing but I was wanting Danny McGrains autograph. Made the mistake of saying I was a Rangers supporter, which was why I wasn't buying the book and ended up getting slaughtered by Billy McNeill. He was hilarious, for everyone else, but I got both their autographs and have them tucked away next to my Rangers players from the same era. Brilliant players, hard men and genuinely nice guys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squonk Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 My overall positive opinion of Ally McCoist as a cheeky chappie, good-humoured scamp and all-round decent human being is tempered by the memory of his blatant, ill-considered, and borderline criminal dog-whistling back in 2012 when he demanded to know "who are these people?" of an anonymous disciplinary panel which had the sheer audacity to impose an appropriate sanction on Scotland's newest club for probably the only time in its short existence. He would also insist that "we'll be having no title-stripping," as if the offender gets to decide whether he is guilty and then choose the extent of any punishment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cumulative losses since 2012 is around 110 million and your club continues to fumble their way around. It’s madness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 3 minutes ago, AJF said: Way to go for missing the point. I thought you made a fair point. But it is likely that at one point in time you received a bid that in hindsight you’d probably wish they accepted. If I was running rangers, I’d be moving on from Morelos. Guy is a good player but takes the piss with his selecting when he decided to be fit or make effort. But then again if I was running rangers I’d probably be too busy asset stripping and preparing for liquidation to care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
