why no thread

Was dreading this game, but the closer it gets the more I am looking forward to it (having said that if it all goes Pete Tong I'm getting the fuck out of dodge well before the final whistle).

 

Anyway still tickets available....that once in each of the last 2 seasons we've failed to sell out our pitiful Ibrox allocation, and while understandable is a tad sad.

Lets get torn about them:

 

Saturday 16 May Rangers v Aberdeen kick off 12.30pm

 

Jimmy Calderwood spoke to David Ridd and RedTV at lunchtime and started by giving the team news. "Smith's out and Kerr's back. Smith's out for the season although it doesn't look as bad as we first thought. Young, Diamond and Mackie are out for rest of the season and we may get Considine and Wright back for the last game of the season. Peter Pawlett also got a wee injury in the reserve game yesterday so he will have a fitness test tomorrow and we'll see how that goes.

 

"I don't think Rangers will start the game on Saturday like they did against Hibs, I think they will want to put us under a lot of pressure from the off and hopefully get a few goals.

 

"It's going to be a cauldron on Saturday and with all the games I've been to, outwith Rangers Celtic, I don't think there's a game in the SPL that comes close to Rangers Aberdeen.The crowd and the atmosphere just feels different. The boys will tell you that they can't hear me shouting from the sideline, they probably think that's a good thing, but the noise levels are just immense. It's up to the players on the pitch to take command of the situation and keep pushing on.

 

"We obviously play first before the Hearts United game and I think it would shake a few feathers were we to get anything from the game at Ibrox. I think all the pressure is on Rangers, they have to win the game. A draw for us and there's still hope but I think if they were to draw then it would not be good for them.

 

"I think we have played well there recently but we've just not been getting the breaks.Last time they got a scrappy goal after us defending too deep.I think we could have won games down there so I don't get overly concerned about our poor record but Ibrox is the only SPL stadium which I've not won at and I would love to get that changed this weekend. I know how much it would mean to the fans.

 

"Sooner or later your luck is going to change but we have to believe in ourselves. We know it's going to be a whirlwind coming at us in the first 15/20 minutes but that may well be stopped if they get caught with a bit of pace at the back."

Anywhere on Ashton lane, could have been the loft, nude, or a few others. I saw Neil the C*** Lennon in Jinty's last week. What a ginger Tim wank he is. Viper/Buff or even ABC are much better than Gayrage, remember that for next season 

 

Was in the Viper last night....was awesome as usual!

 

I thought we were quite unlucky on Saturday, as someone said above I don't think any of our players had a bad game. 

 

Special mention to Seve and Mair who I thought were outstanding in defence.

 

Had we had a man advantage then you never know what might have happened, and if MacDonald hadn't missed that one on one with Alexander we could have even sneaked a draw.  All ifs and buts in the end.

 

Lets just pray we beat Hibs on Sunday and the Huns do us a favour.

Aberdeen defender Charlie Mulgrew’s red card at Ibrox will be rescinded after referee Stuart Dougal admitted he had been fooled by Rangers forward Kyle Lafferty.

 

Mulgrew was sent off in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat after Lafferty fell to the ground following a heated con-frontation between the pair.

 

Dougal, who is retiring at the end of the season, has reviewed the incident and his match report, which will be analysed by the SFA today, will reprieve Mulgrew.

 

Dougal said: “I have now had the chance to review the Mulgrew and Lafferty incident on television. I have since e-mailed my views on the incident to the SFA and that contents must remain private until the SFA get time to consider the case.

 

“But, it is fair to say, like most people at the game, I thought Lafferty had been the victim of violent conduct from Mulgrew.

 

“On reviewing the game I have since seen that wasn’t the case.â€

 

Rangers defender Madjid Bougherra was also harshly sent off after a late challenge on goalkeeper Jamie Langfield – but Dougal said the decision on his fate will rest with his assistant Graham Chambers.

 

He said: “In respect of the Bougherra incident, I have spoken to my assistant referee and if he is requested to review the situation again then he will do so.â€
