Title: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: BarryFerguson on May 06, 2007, 07:32:21 PM Well chaps NORMAL SERVICE HAS RESUMED. Another fabulous win for Walters unbeaten Glasgow Rangers. Rangers were absolutely superb in yesterdays 2 - 0 demolition job over arch rivals CEPTIC. Back to front every single player done there job. Celtics midfield were totally dominated by the fantastic Brahim Hemdani, the classy Kevin Thomson and the driving force of the great man BARRY FERGUSON. Poor Gravesen was even hauled off at half time. Also on 1 side of the park u had 36 year old David Weir who was superb against the average van hesse whatever then on the otherside u had old boy Lennon chasing shadows lol. Yes guys it certainly has been a terrific turnaround from Walter. He's quite simply turned a struggling team into a winning team. Until Walters arrival Ceptic had taken 17 points more than Rangers. Since Walters arrival Rangers have taken 8 points more than Ceptic. Quite a turnaround i think you'll agree. BRING ON NEXT SEASON !!

As for your comments - correct one team in it. Of course I remember such false dawns during your 9 in a row, they turned nothing around. Start consistently winning & I'll be concerned - but well played yesterday.

I know you are right obviously, another corner turned, another moonbeam. Maybe next season we just shouldnt bother turning up. Thats what we were told last season, because of the French Revolution taking place at Ibrox. The season before we were told it was all academic as well, because Rangers potentially had THREE teams that could take care of the pesky upstarts Celtic. Anyway, congratulations on your win on Saturday. What trophy did you get for it ?

Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: BigTomatoes on May 08, 2007, 05:57:48 PM i cant see that happening , he is a proven dud now.
i think we need to target solid players that are proven at a good level , Robbie Keane , Steve Sidwell , Jason Koumas , and Stephan Appiah have all been linked , i wouldnt object to any of them , Scott Brown is another option. we definitely need strenghtening in all positions , and hopefully next season guys like Hartley , Hesselink and Riordan will step and start to show their worth in a Celtic shirt. overall though we still have a stranglehold on the Scottish game , we are Financially secure , we have cruised the title 2 years running now , we have a good standing in Europe , we have an excellent squad and the means to strenghten the squad in the summer , if we get a bit of luck and avoid injuries to the likes of Naylor , Hesselink etc then i cant see Rangers winning the title next season , i do believe they will be stronger next season , just not strong enough. but lets hope we have some excitement next season , cos this season was awful , excluding the european nights. Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: fergus8 on May 08, 2007, 07:08:17 PM koumas may go

Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: Teacake on May 08, 2007, 07:21:45 PM ive always said, the good thing about celtic, is that when thier ahead of rangers they never improve thier squad enough in the close season. they ll buy bargain basements again and allow rangers to claw any difference there is back and some All kidding aside, do you seriously believe that? Rangers have NO money, they are skinto. Celtic on the otherhand are a sound financial footing thanks to the superb job Peter Lawell is doing. If Rangers buy Scott Brown they'll need to pay for him in installments & that'll be the transfer budget gone, any other signings will be Bosmans, I mean you couldn't afford to pay for Riordan last year & Gow this year. The best you can hope for are Brown & Naismith. Also Rangers have no players with any resale value whereas Celtic will be able to punt Jarosik, Gravesen, Miller for about 5million between them & free up about 70 grand a week in wages my only concern is how Strachan spends his 10-15 million transfer kitty. Don't get me wrong it will be a lot closer next season but I think our bigger squad will win it again.

Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: damon on May 09, 2007, 10:54:18 AM Guys
Rangers and Celtic fans always believe they are going to win the next championship,regardless how they finished in the previous season. Lets agree to disagree and see. Going back to last Old Firm game Rangers 2 Celtic 0,yes that one. Rangers were different class,and as I said on another post,I expected to hear lame excuses of the league is already won...Bollocks. An Old Firm game is an Old Firm game ( for any non Old Firmers,that means every game means something) A wee example is the Scottish Cup semi between Hibs and Dunfermline,attracted 6,000 fans. Rangers U19 Celtic U19 had over 15,000 crowd(which Rangers won 5-0). It's the biggest rivalry around and every game is a must win. Rangers didn't deserve a trophy last two years and thats that. But Rangers played Celtic off the park in the last 3 games and that does soften the blow a bit. All Celtic fans do have to stop believing they have a better team.The only Celtic player I think is good enough to play for Rangers is Naylor...saying that Stevie Smith will be back,forget that one. The rest are mediocre... Yous rant and rave about Boruc,Nakamura and Van Missinglink Boruc is shite. Nakamura plays for about 5mins out the 90.shite. Van Missinglink seems to fit nicely in the 36 year old Davie Weirs back pocket,shite. Saying that Celtic have already strengthened their squad,just by getting rid of Lennon and Graveson (Both shite). Gordon Strachan says he needs £11 Million to replace Lennon. (Gordon pm me,I'll get you a replacement for a Monkey) As for Rangers not affording Riordan...it's alot of wages for sitting on a bench(Celtics bench,wouldn't even make our bench) Cheers p.s Could be Italian International coming to Rangers to partner Boyd up front. Caracciolo Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: mjrevie on May 09, 2007, 11:09:59 AM The only Celtic player I think is good enough to play for Rangers is Naylor...saying that Stevie Smith will be back,forget that one. The rest are mediocre... Simple question - if none of the Celtic players could make it into the Rangers first eleven, how come they've won the league by such a big margin? Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: damon on May 09, 2007, 11:39:40 AM Rangers are not a great team just now but there's not a Rangers player I would swap for a Celtic player.
The difference was Rangers team spirit in the first half of the season. There was no heart,especially against the lower teams in the league. Half the team didn't want to play for Le Guen either. If the league was played next season with both teams keeping their present squads, Rangers would win...simple. Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: mjrevie on May 09, 2007, 11:56:37 AM Rangers are not a great team just now but there's not a Rangers player I would swap for a Celtic player. Personally, I think Boruc is better than McGregor (i know you dont agree) and long term, McManus is going to do better than Weir, maybe not next season, but over the next 5 years. I agree Nakamura drifts in and out of game from what I've seen but he makes enough contributions that i think he could get in the Rangers team - he was named player of the year! Rangers need to IMO get rid of Novo. He only ever plays when he wants a move or a contract renewal. Give him a one year deal and you might get something out of him. As for the rest of the Celtic and Rangers players, i think its pretty much a much of a muchness.

And how come when Nakamura curls a freekick into the top corner he's a genius and when Ronaldinho puts a free kick under the wall he's incredible, but when Charlie Adam does it its a fluke that the keeper should be sacked for not saving? Dun dun dun dun, Charlie Adam!!! What about the recent form of Alan Hutton who in the last 2 months has been looking like a class right back and has had Aiden "Ronaldinho in disguise" McGeady in his back pocket as he bombs down the wing in the last 2 OF games? Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: GlasgowBandit on May 09, 2007, 08:13:07 PM Guys this is fuc***g hysterical I haven't had such a laugh in ages. All I have heard over the past few days is Walter's back we will win the league next season yada fucking yada!
Your boys only started playing when Celtic where 18 points clear. Last year around this time when your lot where trailing Hertz - a provincial club in Embra yous where going on about next season and how PLG would have the league sewn up and make you's a force in Europe. LMAO - whatever happened to him? The captain was respected more than a manager who was sensational in France. Not to worry though eh? Walters back a guy responsible for some of your worse ver signings, responsible for some dodgy injuries becuase of his poor training. A man who near got everton relegated. Ohh hell yeah am shaking in my boots. Look at your bosmans for next year superb signings. Youur club is near bankrupt. What excuses will we hear from you next year? Damon £50 says we beat you boys next year to the title I am so confident I will give you a 5 point start!!! Aye ready!! We arra peepel!

Yes guys it certainly has been a terrific turnaround from Walter. He's quite simply turned a struggling team into a winning team. Until Walters arrival Ceptic had taken 17 points more than Rangers. Since Walters arrival Rangers have taken 8 points more than Ceptic. Quite a turnaround i think you'll agree. BRING ON NEXT SEASON !!

The fact that Charlie Adam is the new ibrox poster boy fills me with great joy. I had to suffer watching rangers teams with the likes of Laudrup, Gascoigne, Albertz, Van Bronkhorst etc... rangers are basically one of the "diddy teams" in the SPL, they raise their game when playing the big bhoys. I remember the 1994/95 season when Celtic only lost 1 out of 4 Old Firm games but we finished 5th in the league about 10 million points behind rangers. The difference is we were not happy with that and we didn't hail Paul Byrne & Rudi Vata etc... as world superstars! So to the answer the original point, the reason Charlie Adam is not held in the same esteem as Ronaldinho is the same reason Rolf harris is not held in the same esteem as Picasso!

That'll do it ;ifm; rotflmfao but still didn't answer the question - do you not get bored with the same point scoring against each other or is that part of the fun in being an old firm fan ;carlocitrone; Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: damon on May 10, 2007, 06:10:43 AM Regarding...
1.The PLG revolution; Any team in the world would have been optimistic of great improvement with the record he had in France, thing is he inherited a good team in LYON and who have since improved even more since his departure. Half the Rangers squad didn't get on with Le Guen,which I would say puts the brakes on any revolution...unfortunate but true. Le Guen was hardly at training unlike Smith and Smith won't tolerate players not trying. I mean players weren't allowed to tackle in training...It's Scottish football for F..k sake. 2.Walter Smith deserves all credit as he has been part of a historic revolution already at Ibrox. Walter was the man who guided Souness in his days at Ibrox and then continued to improve the team after Souness departure (9 in a row, missing out on a European Cup Final due to the Marseilles scanda)l. It was a great team with great players from all over. Gazza,Laudraup,Hateley,Albertz,Gatusso are just a few foreigners who arrived at the club,who understood what playing for Rangers was all about. That will come again and is the reason the fans are happy to have Walter back along with a Rangers legend Super Ally( these two are part of the reason for Celtics worst run in their history...thats if you know the History). It wasn't that long ago yous Celts were happy with Smith and McCoist and their Scotland revolution. There you are then. Rangers got it wrong appointing a manager with a great record in France but surely appointing a manager with an incredible record in Scotland can't be a bad thing. Sir Alex Ferguson rates Walter highly but I guess Bandit and the rest of the bhoys on this thread know better rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao It wasn't so long ago that the Celtic fans wanted Gordon Strachan hung,yes F..king hung after his first two games in charge( Pre season friendlies they were). Now they think he is a God. I must also admit that the standard of football in the English championship has been a lot better than in Scotland this year,which is sad but true(except for last Saturdays Rangers performance) Rangers have wasted two years not winning trophies,but still to this day have won more silverware than any team in the world...different class. ScottM,the answer to your question about getting bored is NO it is also an excuse for a bit of banter. Also believe me when I say that the Celts are hurting after dropping 8pts from nine to the Gers,they probably stayed home Saturday night and sickied work. The Celts are hurting and we are loving it. By the way Bandit, what odds are you asking for...realistically? and how much do you want to wager? (probably wise to check your biscuit tin) :cheers: and good luck next year Damon p.s to prove I am not a bitter man,you can tell Strachan that I've found a replacement for Lennon and for less than a monkey. In fact it will only cost a buy in to tonights £40 DC F/O @ Cincinnatis,and the boy is no too bothered about Win Bonus either. p.p.s I'm surprised the Bhoys haven't brought up their 40th Anniversary...you know the Lisbon Lions...the first British team to...everybody knows,coz we hear about it everyday. At the end of the day I am 33 and in my liftime, Rangers fans have had far more happy days than the Tic fans have had and there are even more to come ;yippee; ;yippee; ;yippee; Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: GlasgowBandit on May 10, 2007, 08:11:23 AM Just a straight up £50 bet me an you mano el mano I say Celtic will win the league by 5 points minimum next season!

I now realise all his tips were a plot to make us all think he is dead money on the sports betting arena, making us give him more and more favourable odds. Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: johnbhoy76 on May 10, 2007, 07:41:06 PM It wasn't so long ago that the Celtic fans wanted Gordon Strachan hung,yes F..king hung after his first two games in charge( Pre season friendlies they were). Now they think he is a God. Damon that is simply not true. Celtic fans do not view Strachan as a "God" I can't speak for all Celtic fans but I can speak for myself when I say I loathe Gordon Strachan. I know many Celtic fans who feel the same way. I'm not going to put a % on it as I've not spoken to every fan but it is a significant proportion of the Celtic support who have just never taken to the guy If Newcastle want him as manager then I'll drive him down there myself. This doesn't change the fact rangers are mince. They are utter dross. Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: thedadi on May 10, 2007, 10:33:31 PM MMMM, whats not 2 like about Strachan??

But now, with all the diving, cheating muppets that play the game I prefer rugby - although there are certain teams following the football line with the cheating.

1. Rangers....................100pts 2. Hearts......................71pts 3. Celtic........................62pts 4. Hibernian...................56pts Rangers to remain unbeaten all season Scottish Cup winners - Rangers CIS Cup winners - Rangers Champs Lge Minimum Quarter-finalists - Rangers Now that I have predicted that Celtic WILL make 3rd,means I stand to gain £0 from my bet with Glasgow Bandit.After some thought(not much) I realised it didn't matter as I can only lose if Celtic win the league(not gonna happen). So the fact that I have put my money where my mouth is,shows how confident I am. How many Celts would make the same bet(with Celtic winning of course)? Definetley a Phenomenal Turnaround from Walter I would say. Go on the Walters Revo. Now that that is settled and everyone knows what to bet on for next season, and we all agree that Walter has been a Phenomenen ( not sure how you spell it) (it doesn't look right,f..k it).....................................Who's next? Maybe Andy Goram(LEGEND) interesting to know his stats against the Auld Tic ( I know Celtic fans who still have nightmares about him) or Neil Lennon (muscles fae Belfast) Damon p.s I would like to wish Neil Lennon all the best wherever he goes. Shame.If he was half as entertaining on the pitch as off it he could have been good for Scottish fitba.

A run that coincided with 2 European Cup Finals, another 2 semis (losing 1 on pens)& a further 2 quarter finals, hardly a fluke rotflmfao Oh aye & you got presented with the trophy in a wee cupboard in the Camp Nou cos all your mob were rioting on the pitch which led to you being banned the following season & unable to defend the trophy (a unique achievement!). :-* Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: Royal Flush on May 12, 2007, 07:11:07 PM Oh aye & you got presented with the trophy in a wee cupboard in the Camp Nou cos all your mob were rioting on the pitch which led to you being banned the following season & unable to defend the trophy (a unique achievement!). :-* lol Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: damon on May 12, 2007, 07:54:25 PM Rangers won the European Cup Winners Cup '72
Teams including Liverpool,Chelsea,Bayern Munich,Sporting Lisbon,Barcelona and plenty others. The fact that counts is Rangers played their way through the tournament defeating the likes of Dynamo Kiev,Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon and Torino. What happened after the game wasn't a first in European finals. Ajax,Bayern Munich and of course Celtic fans had also invaded the pitches in their time, with no consequences. The Rangers fans invaded the pitch in celebration and the Spanish police were extemely heavy handed. It's not as if the Rangers fans were fighting with the opposing fans ( as 99.5% were Rangers fans) Rangers got banned for two years later having it reduced to one year and yes not being able to defend the trophy coz of the Spanish Police over reacting and nothing more. Rangers were also the first team to play 3 European CWC finals...different class!

As I said earlier we have the better of the Head to Head with Celtic,Aberdeen,Dundee Utd and the rest. Every dog has its day ( even the TIC) but for Rangers to come out in front in all the Head to Heads should prove something. In 1966/67 Celtic were the better team than Rangers...BUT over the long term ( 134 years) Rangers have been the best team Scotland has produced. Does it no just ye make proud to be a Bluenose. We have won 51 ( yes fifty-one) league championships- WORLD RECORD. European trophies are nice to win but like all other top teams,the League is priority and we've done it more than anyone.Does it no just make ye proud to be a Bluenose.

They hold the record aggregate defeat in a European Cup semi final. Losing 12 (yes TWELVE!) - 4 over two legs to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1960. They were also the first team ever to be banned from defending a European trophy. They were also the first club to be knocked out of Europe TWICE in one season in 1997/98. Losing to IFK Goteburg in the CL qualifiers before being knocked out of the UEFA Cup in the 1st round by Strasbourg. They Hold the record defeat in a British domestic Cup final losing 7 (yes SEVEN!) - 1 to Celtic in the Scottish League Cup Final in 1957.

I thought Mr Archer's quote would rattle a few cages ;D They're his words not mine! (although I agree with him ;D ) See this world record that yous keep going on about for the most Champonships. It's hardly a great achievement given that it's for Scottish Championships. I mean it's not as if Man Utd, Juventus, Real Madrid etc..... can enter the SPL to challenge for this record is it? So other than from a statistical point of view what does this "World Record" actually show? At least when Celtic have had domestic success we did something in Europe at the same time. The same can be said for Aberdeen & Dundee Utd when they had their day in the 1980's During rangers 9 in a row they were regularly humilated in Europe.

As it was only a matter of time before Rangers ( with the backing of the establishment, referees and press) achieved this first. Now, will Rangers win a Eurpoean cup, play in a World Club final, win every tournament they enter in a single season .......I doubt it.

As for watching retards fight,Rookie and RoyalFlush have to understand that this the OLD FIRM.

It's all hypothetical isn't it? I'd love Celtic to play in the premiership. But I can understand clubs like Wigan taking the hump at us just wanting to be parachuted into the Premiership as if English football somehow owes us a living. Wigan have come from Division 4 (or 3 or whatever they call it now) to get all the way to the Premirship. They have EARNED the right to be there by being better than all the other teams in the lower leagues. If Celtic want to play in the Premiership we should apply to join Division 4 and if we are as good as we think we are then we'll get there on our own merits and not as part of some shitty Rupert Murdoch "super league". Also the idea of slogging it out against clubs like Darlington, Swindon, Hartlepool etc.... is no less appealing than playing Falkirk, Motherwell, Gretna etc....

English clubs would also make more money with the Old Firm in the Premiership...think how much better it would be. A decent rivalry, a real derby instead of Liverpool-Man Utd or Chelsea-Liverpool which are not derbies. The tabloids would also love it with every game being a Battle of Britain. Problem is the English clubs feel threatened by the Old Firm. I reckon a start in the Championship adding 2 more teams,so not to do any League 1 promotions out of a place.

If Reading can do it then I'd fancy Celtic's chances of doing it. Celtic would get £30 million in TV money before kicking a ball Revenue from Shirt sponsors, corporate hospitality, multimedia would treble overnight. Celtic are already a massive club with worldwide support if we actually had the worldwide exposure that playing in the Premiership would bring then we'd go supersonic. The problem we have just now is that Celtic over the last few years have lost players such as... Viduka - Leeds Van Hooijdonk - Forest Di Canio - Sheff Wed Petrov - Aston Villa None of those players would have left Celtic if Celtic could offer those players Premiership football. They all stated their reason for leaving was to play in the premiership Celtic would not only get a financial boost from playing in the Premiership but we'd be able to attract and retain a better quality of player.

Where Celtic are concerned £30 million is a conservative estimate. It would be £30 million from SKY alone. Celtic PLC already have planning permission in place to extend the stadium to 80,000. They renew this planning permission every year just incase we ever get to the Premiership/European league. 20,000 extra season tickets at £400 a pop is another £8 million We'll probably loose Artur Boruc this summer. That wouldn't happen if we played in the EPL. It's not just about the money Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: AdamM on May 13, 2007, 11:05:22 PM lol, fire in the hole

Because it's £30m income with no outlay. We make a lot of turnover on tickets, strips etc, but the TV money is the icing on the cake as it has no associated stewarding, policing, etc costs. We've high turnover, low profit as most income is at high cost. The fact that it's still a lot more than the majority of EPL teams showsw the potential though.

I think he's a good player and potentially a great player but the word here is "potentially" He is currently a player for a mid-table SPL side who has only been capped once by Scotland. I know he's only 21 but if by the age of 21 you haven't been able to get a game ahead of the likes of Paul Hartley, Nigel Quashie & Darren Fletcher then you are clearly not worth almost £5 million.

Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: Teacake on May 15, 2007, 11:21:24 PM As I posted earlier Rangers couldn't afford Brown although that hasn't stopped the bears in my work going of their nut now that he appears to be coming to us :D
Willie Mackay says Celtic are interested in Joey Barton, buy out clause 5.5mill. I would expect him to end up at Everton or Newcastle but a move out of England for a while might be a good idea for him. The Bellamy story has been going round for a while but the season ticket renewals are due at the end of the month so Celtic won't mind these rumours even if they have no foundation. Title: Re: WALTERS RANGERS, PHENOMENAL TURNAROUND Post by: damon on May 16, 2007, 04:32:26 AM Teacake is right about the Gers not affording Brown. It isn't really surprising as TV money is shite and no money from Euro comps and the Champs League £10M is not yet guaranteed (in my mind it is though)
As much as I like Brown who will improve even more over the next 2 years ( unlike Fat Hartley), I would rather see Rangers spread the money they've got on a couple of decent players. Plus our midfield is not in bad shape. I can see 7 or 8 new faces at Ibrox for next season ( possibly 4 or 5 Bosmans) including 2 keepers ( 2nd & 3rd choice) as young Lee is going out on loan and probably return as #2. Rangers already have the best keeper in the league( But back up Keepers is a must) this will be the season when Craig Gordon passes the baton to Greegs, and before the Bhoys start another 30 page debate on how good Artur Boruc is...Don't even go there. Boruc when focussed on a game can be a class act but only when focussed( which is not very often). He cost Celtic a few goals trying to look good. Gow and Broadfoot are obviously not the best we have to look forward to. They are both squad players with Broadfoot unlikely to make the bench. Gow on the other hand could play a part and bring something to the club. Jean Claude is a good capture and should adjust to Scottish Footbal with no probs. As for the Tic, Joey Barton going to Celtic could happen but wages could be a problem as with Mark Viduka...but maybe the possibility of playing Champs League could be the lure. Both players are good enough and deserve to be playing Champs League.
