St Mirren’s late goal at Ibrox yesterday was as welcome as it was unexpected, but it means little for us. It was only the fourth league goal Rangers have conceded all season and Celtic almost conceded a fourth goal in the final minutes against Kilmarnock. Four goals conceded in 11 games is championship winning form.
Rangers are certainly not a European-standard team at the moment but they are overwhelmingly organised.
We’re in trouble.

Nine more reasons to be cheerful
leebozbhoy,
I am a big fan of Kayal. But, if he really is on the verge of signing a new contract, what made behave as he did on Saturday? It will take a lot for me to forgive him that performance.
Without wishing to distract from our own very real on field problems can I ask why it has gone so quiet in the media about Rangers off field impending doom?
I see Greig and McLelland have jumped ship. What is it they say about rats and sinking vessels?
Any updates as to when they are due in court again?
And to finish – I must say that reflecting on the weekends events I am joining the less than confident majority. My only hope is that we find the form we showed for most of the second half of last season and find the tactical nous and orgsanisation that Paul talks about which provided us with a short but evry enjoyable run of dominance over the others. I have less confidence than i had ths time last year that we could do it.
But it has to happen now.
I think Neil is one bad result away from his jotters. I have never wanted to be more wrong in my life. It is going to take a run of wins and some solid defending to convince us all that he is still the man for the job. we need to be in touch come the 28th Dec. If we are then I think we will do it. But it is looking like a big if.
Time to rally round and support Neil from the stands and that might mean not rounding on players who misplace a pass or give the ball away cheaply or miss a chance or mess up a clearance. We need to ‘support’ in other words. There are enough people willing our failure without us adding to it. Lets get through to January and hopefully we can convince the powers that be to get a solid centre half and go back in for Diawara.

Speaking, hypethetically…If Neil suffers that one bad result and, gets his jotters…..who will replace him ?
Parkheadcumsalford says.
Cant argue with you there. His display and lack of commitment on saturday was shocking to say the least. If he does sign as being reported he’s got a few star performances to put in to get back the goodwill of many supporters i feel. Mine included.

The confusion that comes in to play is that the term prostate cancer covers a number of different diseases.
The nasty one is small cell cancer and is rare. If he was previously in remission then I doubt this is the form he had.
Normal prostate cancer even with metastatis is treatable, in fact life expectancy medians don’t provide good information as death for sufferers is usually a result of a non related illness.

Hopefully someone who will stand up for himself to the board and walk if they try the same crap they did over thwe summer
So the last two Rangers men on the Rangers board have walked.
Man oh man … you want to talk about abandoning the battlefield to your opponents …
Yeah, the bomb is going to drop over there. Whyte had no reason to cut these guys out of the loop. They were loyal servants of the club, men who wanted the best for it. They voiced no opposition to him, they were in his corner if that’s what he needed.
There’s only one reason he kept them out of the loop. He didn’t want them knowing what was going on in the loop. Because they are Rangers men.
The writing is on the wall.
Have a good morning all. Being dragged to the supermarket:-((

One other thing doctors will tell you that every case is unique, so even if things look bleak (Im not saying this in the case of your friend but for other sufferers) there is always hope and being positive is a good medicine.

After Saturday I don’t think we should focus on it quite so much.
We need to get Celtic back in order.
Neil Lennon was 25 minutes from either a sacking or a resignation – we have worrying times of our own.
By all means if it makes people feel better speculate as to their demise. Until I see it, I won’t believe it. It is going to drag on for another year because the losing side will appeal and it won’t settle until next season.
If Greig is away, does that mean there is no more Gorilla?
And another thing,
Even if Celtic do emerge in a good place if they go bust it doesn’t make up for the pain of the last 3 years.
Snake Plissken 17 October, 2011 at 11:37:
No offence Snake but how is little me talking about rangers directors resigning on CQN going to result in a better Celtic team for Thursday night or the weekend?
Never mind the ole gorilla, we’ve got a wagonload of monkeys on our own back.

So do you lied or were deliberately misleading when you posted;
especially, TBOTOB
?
There is enough genuine reasons to be upset at the Celtic board, their actions and words without supposed Celtic fans starting to make things up. We have the Scottish media to do that…..hhhmmmmmmmm. Think MWD is correct in his suspicions.

Any manager who comes across as being, able to look after himself and, has the requisite levels of savvy in terms of, working the markets, agents etc….will not be deemed suitable by PL. IMO!
Just ask, big Mark McGhee.

I like to laugh at R*ngers as much as I would delight at the apparent demise of any horrible, right-wing institution…
…but, if we were 10 points clear and going for 4-in-a-row would we care if two directors had just resigned? Would we even care about the debt, knowing how likely it is that they will wriggle out of it and survive?
Beat them on the park and let whatever happens off it happen

Never heard of it until I noticed it in my diary “On this day”.

McNair is the greatest:
You know what, mate? As angry as I am with that man – and if he’d been on his game Rangers would be dead and buried already; they couldn’t have survived without the Champions League money from the last three years – he can restore my faith very simply by doing nothing.
This is a time for us to stand back and watch the wreckage. There must be NO intervention to save them or to help them in any way. They made their own bed, and if the strategy of the board has been to fortify us against the complete collapse of Rangers, if that’s what Lawwell talked about at the AGM when he said Scottish football could die, if our entire agenda has been based on an insiders knowledge that Rangers, as a force to be reckoned with, are finished for the forseeable future … I will applaud it loudly and I will start the campaign personally for a Lawwell Memorial outside the ground.
I kid you not. All we have to do is let things run their course, within the rules, and to insist those rules are followed to the letter. No favours. No helping hand. They would have stuck the hose in our mouths without hesitation, and I am not even asking we do that here.
Just stand back and watch their house burn down.

The Honest Mistake
None taken.
I just think after that horror show on Saturday we should concentrate on Celtic.
It does indeed look very bad that the epitome of what they stand for has left on the same day as McLelland.
Two directors resigning on the same day is unusual to say the least. We know their troubles but after Saturday we don’t have our own to seek.
That’s all I am saying.
I like everyone else wants to see them punished for their insane spending to prove they are the peepel but recent events have made me think Celtic is more important at this moment in time.
Fair play, it is a big news story but until their team start getting sold, they’ll keep on winning in the SPL I’m afraid.
An interesting stat if you go way back to 1965 is that no Celtic manager who didn’t win the league in his first full season goes on to become a regular success (davie hay did win title in 1986 but was sacked at end of next season). I had hoped this trend would be bucked by Neil but see no reason for optimism.
I also find it worrying that with 2 weeks to play with after the diet huns debacle the tactics displayed were more or less the same. Some of you guys may have cause for optimism where our management team are concerned (and I’m talking about all of them not just Neil) and that they can learn from their mistakes but I just see the same mistakes being made over and over again. We are going nowhere fast and I can only see more of what we have had so far being served up.
A very familiar and distinctive (mis)use of commas by a certain poster at the moment.
Puts me in mind of a few posters who’ve passed through this place of late.

Off oot.
The apathy on here is making me feel not well.
“Sack The Board Now!!!”
Oh well.
Looks like he’s off oot.
I would bet my last pound that DD knew what was going on at poundland, the due dilligence, my guess is he was behind at least one of them.
