Rangers look an avearge side at best, but thought the XI a wee bit disrespectful still.
Yeah same. Five at the back for Rangers, we need all the firepower we can get.

Park's looking particularly turd, always felt his footballing ability was a bit underrated because everyone focuses on how much he runs around but so far this season he's been positively awful.

Why has Sky's coverage turned all homosexual all of a sudden?

This is a return to our 2007/08 European form, I'd kill for Barry Ferguson to be patrolling our midfield right about now.

Apparently an innocuous challenge, I'm hearing a broken leg, looked above the ankle apparently?

Was it due to a malicious challenge?
No, Broadfoot slid in, won the ball and knocked it out for a throw in.

One of the reasons I want to see it again, I can't believe that a challenge that looked so innocous has led to Valencia being stretchered off with a suspected leg break.

Was talking with my Dad about Scottish football's decline the other day, there's no one anywhere near Ferguson's quality left up there. The thought of a player as good as Henrik Larsson playing in Scotland now seems utterly absurd.

It's funny how much things have changed in my lifetime watching Rangers. Gone are the days of signing Paul Gascoigne, or convincing the likes of Lorenzo Amoruso that Rangers were a better career move than Manchester United.

It's down to wages. Back in the mid 90s, I can remember the amazement that Middlesborough were forking out £40,000 a week for Fabrizio Ravanelli. I think we were paying Gascoigne about £18,000 a week at the time, which was extremely competitive. IIRC during O'Neill's glory years, I think Celtic's wage bill was 5th or 6th highest in the UK. Now, we can just about afford to pay guys £18,000 a week, which would be a pittance for even an average Premiership footballer.

Rangers should have had a penalty a few minutes back. Never going to see something like that given, especially not for the away side. Definite penalty though.

I though it looked like his right leg was being jerked back by an invisible hand. Like if somebody grabs the back of your shirt and you run away from them and then jerk back, if they let go, you tumble forward, but if they hold on you fall back. (Making sense?)
I reckon he's gone to tumble forward, but because his left leg is caught, it jerks him back and the pressure means his leg/ankle gives way.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about when I'm talking about the "stamping" motion, couldn't think of a better way to describe it.

edit: 0-0, great result. Not a game for the purists, for all their superiority Man Utd didn't exactly trouble us.
