Rarely post and especially don't like to butt in when I'm mentioned, and not I'm doing it here to dig out loftinspace in any way or anyone else who might have been less than complimentary. Absolutely no problem at all. I come in peace.
Anyway, I get the mick taken out of me by some of the few friends I've got that I'm continually (often on Twitter) being accused of saying things I never said. In fact I'll often have said the total opposite. It's a bit of a standing joke.
So I was roped into a childish bet just after the start of the year that I'd see 50 such examples by the end of the season. I was stuck on 49 for a while and this comes just too late, but cheers loftinspace you've at least taken me to the 50 mark mate! 
Apologies for the self-indulgent message! |

Hi all.
Like transfer gossip, I absolutely hate the Twitter stuff and had to be persuaded by my team to do it. The thing is, it does get hits. God knows why, but sadly it does.
But still, it also pisses off a lot of our regular readers and I think this thread is another reason to knock it on the head. We won't be doing it from now on.
Cheers. |

Hi Bazza
You shouldn't be seeing ads like that on the site. Can I ask what operating system you were using and if you can remember what kind of ad it was?
I appreciate that's bloody annoying. So apologies. |

Haha. No I don't, and I think Malky Mackay's more likely to be offered it. |

Don't be daft Antti. Not a big deal at all.
Cheers for kind comments. You flatter me. R from Afar, difficult to say. There's been a lot of speculation about the finances but as long as the chairman keeps getting the money in from Malaysia there shouldn't be too much of a problem in the short term given the resources available. Obviously no amount of money or enthusiasm is finite though. |

Rarely post (mercifully for you all) especially to respond to a bit of stick but as this is pretty tame, why not. I said no such thing about the Benayoun deal. Quite the opposite actually - I said the the board had misgivings.
There are some cheeky monkeys on here. |

Always makes me laugh when the Buzsaky thing gets brought up.
I stand by my comment, which was that of all the players Rangers signed he was the one most equipped for the Premier League. In fact I think I said he was not only Prem class but top-half Prem class.
Many find that laughable. Fine. That was my view both when he wasn't even a regular starter at Plymouth, and when he was the blue-eyed boy at QPR.
The fact is the guy suffered back-to-back career-changing injuries. A shame, and means he sadly joined the list of players who were apparently never really that good anyway - where he's in very good company. |

Now, I've read all sorts of unflattering stuff over the years and accept it as part and parcel, but I must be developing an ego all of a sudden.
70%. And that's from DaveB, who I know to be a good guy and a good judge. I mean I'd have been insulted if you'd said 99%, but 70...flippin ell.
You wait til I see you again Mr B.
70!!!

I don't like cheese full stop! Sorry.
To be honest the club tightening up a bit helps a lot, actually. No point being precious about these things, but it is the case that if there's something happening with a player for example but he's one of the hundred names being banded around already, it obviously devalues a story a tiny bit. No getting away from that really.

Allo allo! Haven't posted here in a while!
Just to clarify, while I have a better relationship with the club these days (not difficult) and have no choice but to admit there are some very likeable people down there, this doesn't extend to debate about what I'm allowed to report and not.
I spent nine days trying hard to get the Park story out before the club because it was a massive story I really wanted, and frankly one I knew could make a lot of money with. Unfortunately I didn't manage to as I wasn't sure enough of certain facts and was overtaken by others who had a better knowledge of what was happening. No arguments.
My point was that Rangers wanted to keep it a secret — as they always do — and on this occasion were able to tie me in knots a bit and buy some time in a way I reckon most fans would definitely approve of and feel they did a good, professional job.
I only ever hold back something if otherwise someone's job or career chances might be threatened. Other than that if I don't get over the line first with a story it's sadly because I'm not good enough at my job! |
