  1. Can't see it wither guys, but by fuck that Delia Smith is needing taken down a peg or two, arrogant fuck that he is. Would love to see someone pump their fist in his face

    ^^^^^ What Manc said
  3. Your athleticism probably put him in the shade, whereas his waistline probably did the same to you
  4. All of which just goes to show there was no clear winner on the night, and opinion polls are only as accurate as the cross section of folk you ask and how honest they are in answering
  5. Totally agree with that. Diamond played in excess of 200 games for us. Probably at least a third too many in my opinion
  6. Exactly Stewart, I never quite got the wankfest that a certain element of our support had over Brown. Think it was possibly simply that if he played then Langfield didn't
  7. Aye that Mixu Heikkinen was a fair player in his day

    Alright Phoenix min, good to see you sticking your head in the door. Hope you'll become a regular visitor to Donstalk Would check out your link, but classical is the one musical genre that doesn't do it for me. Spend most of my time whilst working at home listening to a good old favourite from years ago http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/#home.html
  9. I was bored by the time they had done their opening statements and finished debating the opening question from the audience which must have taken the guts of thirty minutes
  10. Rioja cracked open, lounging out on sofa waiting for the big debate. Wonder who is going to come across as the biggest tit of the lot of them. I use the description "biggest tit" because frankly one is just about as bad as the other.

    Nice one TC Knew if I threw it out there someone would check it out
  12. So the "fit and proper" Dave King already shows himself to be a liar and untrustworthy it would appear. I thought that as part of his victory speech he went on record as saying this was just a fromality and that he had everything lined up in the background ?
  13. Mega "fucking" LOL Copy and paste from BBC Scotland Football News. Rangers International Football Club plc is being delisted from the AIM Stock Exchange. RIFC said that it is in negotiations to move trading to a different platform. Trading in the company's shares were suspended on 4 March following the resignation of its nominated advisor (nomad), WH Ireland. However, RIFC's new board has been unable to appoint a new advisor before the deadline to remain listed. The suspension of shares on AIM came after the removal of the previous board by a shareholder group led by former director Dave King. BBC Scotland has learned that a number of shareholders are considering legal action as a result of the delisting. It is also understood that at least one complaint has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority, but that body has no jurisdiction over Rangers. Rangers blamed the previous regime for the delisting. A statement read: "It is simply the result of the well-documented failings in corporate governance and management of those who previously controlled the company." The club said AIM received "more complaints about the company than any other company on its exchange over the last year". At the time of the extraordinary meeting that deposed of the previous board, South Africa-based King expressed his confidence that a new nomad could be appointed. King, who has convictions for contravening South African tax laws, had hoped to be appointed to the board. New interim chairman Paul Murray, director John Gilligan and shareholder Dave King Shareholders Paul Murray, John Gilligan and Dave King deposed the previous board Rangers said the prospective nomad completed its checks on the 'fit and proper' status of the existing and the proposed additional director. However, after the nomad's assessment of the "company's profile" in recent years and discussions with the Stock Exchange, it was unable to "take up appointment", Rangers said. The statement added: "We also understand that any alternative nomad is liable to encounter similar difficulties and therefore the company requires to terminate its listing on AIM." RIFC said delisting will save the club time and money and that the move does not prevent shares changing hands privately. One avenue being explored is RIFC being listed on the ISDX, the successor to the Plus platform, where The Rangers Football Club plc's shares were traded in the past and where the shares of Arsenal are listed. Until then, shareholders will have access to "a matched bargain trading facility" with JP Jenkins, a founding member of the AIM and Ofex markets through which Millwall's shares are already traded. Rangers Supporters' Trust said: "It is unfortunate that the company is having to delist because of the mismanagement and, at times, malicious neglect of previous directors and nomads of the company."

    I'll see your Griffin Danny and raise you McFarlane Neil. Would very much doubt if McFarlane, Griffin, Ross and MacNamee had more than 25/30 first team appearance for us between them
  15. Interesting team selection issues for Derek on Saturday. Goodie clearly hasn't been producing the goods Shankland continues not to only knock on the door but batter the fucking living daylights out of it, oh and a certain contender for POTY is back and fit for selection. Nice to have options to choose from.

    I remember once at New Douglas Park our support singing "we have a full back." This was at either MacNamee or Ross, but cannae mind which one. Seem to think it was around Xmas/New Year time and we had gone months without a recognised full back. Must have been during McGhee's ill fated stint in the hot seat.
  17. Hector endeared himself to the crowd, and wanted to present himself very much as one of us. Not knocking him for it, in fact far from it, but I think that is maybe why some drool over his time with us. Just my thoughts like Bobby.
  18. Ok fits the beef with this ? Is it worthy of my time on catch up

    Welcome back Stooge More the merrier, come on over lads This site has survived on our hard core members for sometime now, but would more than welcome members old and new to give it some fresh ideas and busy it up a little. Laughing at your Mo Ross story, that lad is one lucky fucker he didn't go further back in Ross's playing career or he'd have ended up in the Weeg
  20. Out Golfing Golfing Still probably on the course 3-1 (Rooney, Hayes & Shankland )
  21. I tend to agree with that also, although I also believe there were also enough glimpses in his play to suggest that once he cut out the mistakes there was definitely a player in there. All said I still expect him to continue developing and become a more than competent player. Can't see any scenario whereby he'll be back in an Aberdeen shirt, but glad we had him when we did. Wish him all the best.
  22. Two goals from Shankland in Scotland U21's win
