Few actually know the words to these songs.Derrys walls sung to Amazing Grace is brilliant
Agree, the fawning over Gough and Numan last week gave me the boakThe majority of ex players/managers don't actually care about the club, happy to head on the speakers circuit or flog booze but when the shit hit the fan they were nowhere to be seen and still won't say a bad word against Murray.
Absolutely he suffered in poor teams, but any thread where there’s a greatest player poll he will get votes.I definitely get your point and totally agree to a point but for most of his time with us he played with dross to be fair. Also he was one of us which helps. I do get what you’re saying but watching him growing up was a treat and if you were lucky enough to see him on his day it was magic. He was born 10 years too early imo
Breaks my heart.Few actually know the words to these songs.
It’s brilliant.Derrys walls sung to Amazing Grace is brilliant
Not unpopular at all…but it should be.MyGers is a con.
Some fans are better than others.
This is the most controversial opinion I’ve seen in here. He was awful that day, spent most of the game offsideThis is one, Umar Sadiq played quite well in the semi final but the dive is all anyone (rightfully) remembers.
I have the opposite view pretty much.At their peak Craig Moore was a more consistent defender than Big Amoruso.
Big Ammo always had a mistake in him and who could forget his row Z free kicks
I think if you did a poll on here asking if KT will ever be the manager of Rangers it would be very close to 100% saying No.I agree with point 2. He came with a reputation as being one of the best left backs in the world and he was only good, never great.
Here’s mine…
Kevin Thomson’s ‘banter’ on social media is enough to convince me that he’ll never be mature enough to be a Rangers manager. I think a lot of people are thinking he’s serving some sort of managerial apprenticeship, and I don’t think he’s got the right mentality.
The title is “controversial opinions” not “state something factual”MyGers is a con.
How much did you drink that day my friend?This is one, Umar Sadiq played quite well in the semi final but the dive is all anyone (rightfully) remembers.
Few post 1965(?) have done themselves, or the club justice.Definitely a worthy standard bearer for the Rangers captaincy though. And in my life time I’d struggle to name Rangers players who weren’t out of their depth in the CL because they’d be so few.
I have take every chance I can get to say it.The title is “controversial opinions” not “state something factual”

I don't think that is in doubt.Harston would have been a brilliant signing for us.

Will politely disagree. Seen him win us games literally on his own. After 86 some of his goals, assists were outrageous but like I said I do get your point he was inconsistent. He gets votes for a reason thoughAbsolutely he suffered in poor teams, but any thread where there’s a greatest player poll he will get votes.
He’s nowhere near the level of some absolute superstars.
I get that but at the same time Batistuta tore it up with Fiorentina and won a couple of cups and eventually to Roma where he won Serie A; Gazza departed Lazio and came to Scotland. I don’t remember much of Gazza at Lazio so I’m always willing to be corrected but did he not only make about 50 appearances, and I never really hear anyone talking about Gazza tearing it up in Italy (I mean playing in that league). It’s usually always about Italia 90 and what could have been rather than what was.You could partially argue that about Maradona as well though. Aside from Barcelona where he didn't have a happy time of it the team's aren't elite level.
It was just a different time, especially in Italy. I think Batistuta was at Fiorentina for 8 years or something while being easily one of the best strikers about. If that was now it would be 1 season and then off to Madrid/City/PSG.
I was very vocal at the time that I wanted Middleton to start through the middle as well, to be honest!I thought he hid from the game to be honest. The only other thing I can remember him doing is running about 3 or 4 yards offside when with a bit of awareness he would have had a look across and checked his run. Gerrard went absolutely ballistic on the touchline.
I know Im not alone in thinking it but a relatively in form Glenn Middleton would have been my pick to start up front that day
I disagree Bud, I genuinely think a good percentage of folk on here reckon he could be the next manager. There was even people suggesting him for assistant manager in order to take over when Gio moves on. Crazy.I think if you did a poll on here asking if KT will ever be the manager of Rangers it would be very close to 100% saying No.
Ugo Ehiogu (God rest him).You can be gash for months but it you score against Celtic it wins you favour with a decent % of our online support till the end of time
Katic is a decent recent example of this
Michael O'Halloran was just misunderstood
Both of them played against Larsson, Sutton and Hartson when Celtic had a great teamAt their peak Craig Moore was a more consistent defender than Big Amoruso.
Big Ammo always had a mistake in him and who could forget his row Z free kicks
I don’t particularly remember big Bert, so I’m not sure if he falls into this category and people are being diplomatic when they say “he was a bomb scare” or notUgo Ehiogu (God rest him).
Mo Edu.
Clint Hill.
Erik Bo Andersen (though he was better than most remember).
Barrie McKay.
List is numerous.
I recently looked up the thread I made asking who should start up front that day.I was very vocal at the time that I wanted Middleton to start through the middle as well, to be honest!
Filip Helander is the best CB we’ve had since Amo.
Ooft maybe the best one thereI don’t particularly remember big Bert, so I’m not sure if he falls into this category and people are being diplomatic when they say “he was a bomb scare” or not
Loved them both but stand by my controversial opinion. Guess it’s called controversial for a reasonBougherra & Cuellar
*Shudders*I recently looked up the thread I made asking who should start up front that day.
Grezda won the vote comfortably...
I hate referring to fellow Rangers fans as ‘bears’
Have never used it, never will and cringe hearing/reading others using it.
God rest his soul, but Fernando Ricksen wasn't a good player for us.
Maybe it wasn't controversial.Is that controversial?
I thought it was a common feeling amongst fans that some ex-players are utter leaches that play to the galleries to stay relevant? There’s a few ex-players that are heavily reliant on the goodwill of the fanbase to keep them going in life
Novo springs to mind, as does Negri. Marvin Andrews is a nice guy but he plays to the galleries to keep his name relevant
“Rangers family” makes my bollocks shrink and retreat into my stomach.
He got a lot of unwarranted praise because of what happened to him. His history as a player was totally rewritten.
Still a million times the man I’ll ever be though.
I was at the same game and they destroyed Celtic on their own. Was like 20 players from the scheme went for a kick about with 2 professionals. They could have beat Celtic on their own that day.I seen Durrant from his break through at Rangers and he had future super star written all over him.his first full old firm debut at Ibrox in 1985 he and Derek Ferguson were just teenagers and they both ripped Celtic apart in a 3-0 victory.souness had said loads of times that but for his injury Durrant would have been a star in seri a.
