El Padre™

He basically says that he hates Rangers more than he hates England, they're a vile club and he's pleased that the rest of the world got to see what we have to put up with.

Hi R_S how are you this morning? I'm going for cheese on toast today with a light drizzle of HP sauce, washed down with a cup of tea.

If Calderwood isnt at Murray Park right now trying to sign Gow I'll have to take drastic measures:

Rangers offload flop forward Filip Sebo for £1m as Lafferty admits Gers interest May 29 2008 Exclusive by Keith Jackson and Anthony Haggerty RANGERS last night took their earnings for the season to £30million - by finalising a deal to flog flop Filip Sebo. The Ibrox club banked a £20m jackpot from their European campaign and raked in £9m from the January sale of Alan Hutton to Spurs. And Sebo's £1m sale to French minnows Valenciennes, which should be confirmed in the next 24 hours, will mean manager Walter Smith has brought home a staggering cash total from his first full season back at the helm. Now it remains to be seen how much of that money Smith will be allowed to spend this summer as he plots for phase three of the latest Ibrox revolution. And last night one of his summer targets, Kyle Lafferty issued a and come-and-get-me plea to the Rangers boss. Smith lodged a bid of around £1.8m with Burnley for the Northern Ireland star - but will drop out of the race if his price continues to rise. Lifelong Rangers fan Lafferty is unhappy under boss Owen Coyle and last night declared he can't wait to get out of Turf Moor. Record Sport revealed on Tuesday the player was back on the radars of the Ibrox club and rivals Celtic, who tried and failed to land him in January. A formal bid from Rangers chief executive Martin Bain landed on Coyle's desk in the past week but was thrown out along with an offer of £3.5m from Wolves. Rangers will not be willing to pay as much for a player who has yet to prove himself at the highest level. Celtic, who had an offer of £2.5m plus striker Derek Riordan turned down, are believed to be watching but have yet to re-affirm their interest. Lafferty signed a four-year deal with Burnley in 2006. The striker has hit five goals in 15 games for his country but bagged only five in 37 Championship games last season. Lafferty said: "I've given my all to Burnley but don't feel wanted. No player is going to stay where he is not happy. "I understand Rangers and Wolves want me and I'd be thrilled to move to either. "Celtic are also interested but I don't think that's ever going to materialise. "I was happy under Steve Cotterill at Burnley but things have changed and I don't feel the same way. "If I had been given the opportunity to leave in the last two transfer windows I would have but those bids were turned down." Lafferty revealed he would love the chance to emulate countryman Steven Davis' exploits at Ibrox. Lafferty said: "It would be a dream to follow in Steven's footsteps but it's an honour to be linked with Celtic also." Meanwhile, Brahim Hemdani, Alan Gow and Thomas Buffel have been told to find new clubs. Share this article

Certainly not with me. I'm married.

Done. If Mackie leaves I'll turn on him too

I think Mackie offers a lot more. He harries defenders and wins balls that Lovell would never dream about going for. Lovell was a lazy Kris Boyd, without the goals.

When Mackie comes onto the pitch for us I feel a hell of a lot more confident that something might happen. When Lovell comes onto the pitch I'm filled with the same kind of apathy that seemed to influence most of his performances. If Mackie and Miller can link up the way they did against Rangers then we'll have a very potent strike force on our hands. The set up and goal was very reminiscent of Hately and McCoist.

He's done the square root of FA for us. He's been one of Calderwoods worst signings. Are you honestly sad to see the back of him (for footballing reasons)?

Which of the two still play in the SPL?

Just about. Lovell couldn't cut it at this level, Mackie can.

I think he'll have no problems in the smaller games. We'll just have to wait and see.

Mackies hitting the target when he gets the chances now, and he's doing it in the big games, he just needs to prove he can do it more regularly, and if Miller can give him the supply he needs then the evidence points towards a good season for him.

Stats like that mean sweet fuck all. Lovell is gone and he wont be missed. His whole Aberdeen career was based on ifs, buts and maybes and neither of those three things score us goals. Now is the time for Miller and Mackie to get their heads down and form the partnership that we need them to.

[move]YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/move]

He got rid of his tache and his footballing ability vanished with it

If we got Cowie and Niculae from Caley I would be a happy man.

Good young player. seems to have a lot of drive and a reasonable eye for goal, I'd more than welcome this as a good long term signing.

From what I remember he was a pretty good player for them and if he's used to his best ability then he'll hit the back of the net for us a good few times.

In my day you would have been locked in a cellar.

Just about to have a coffee and some nice biscuits

Simmy, if you're not the RedTV cameraman you should be.

Hi R_S, whats for dinner tonight? I'm having a nice bit of fish with some tartare sauce and some freshly cut chips. Should be nice.
