And the first post on a Rangers Forum thread this morning :😂 "This is going to be a long season with him in charge. That performance was awful, as bad as anything we've seen recently. His subs were terrible his style of play is terrible we are a mess. Motherwell played the same way and did it...

Chris Sutton take on Russ : 'He's machine gunned the dressing room' 😂😂 "He's gone very early with this, but it's a bit desperate, first game of the season - just sort of easing himself in to absolutely machine gun the dressing room in the way that he did. For him to do that first game of the...

Russ publicly rebuking his players today. Didn't take long. That'll engender team spirit. Any bollockings should be in the dressing room. It's going to end in tears. ----------- "We had too many on the pitch today who just did what they wanted to do. When you want to just jog around...

Here's a team for Russ to further develop his theories and possession stats ; and actually that team is more entertaining than when he was with us 😂. Ps also love the dive at 21 secs !! https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/30/china-hosts-first-fully-autonomous-ai-robot-football-match

If not the best away strip, best away day for me . Can't find a colour photo of the legends below unfortunately

Preston away 2 May 1981

From the Scottish Daily Record : "The former Scotland international previously enjoyed a decent two year stint in charge of Swansea City, where his eye-catching brand of football won him a move to St Mary’s." He brought tears of boredom and frustration to my eyes !

Hopefully this should now close this thread once and for all 😂😂

I started this thread way back with an insightful observation by a Coventry fan on Grimes' style of football. Tbh, I think the thread has run its course now. Getting a bit tedious like a lot of his play. He's gone, he was a decent servant for us, mainly playing to the orders of Martin and...

Grimes was perfect for the system wanted by Martin and Williams in the Championship. Though I believe it's the type of role he prefers himself anyway. And is continuing at Coventry as per the perceptive observation by one of their fans in the opening post. Overall, Grimes did a good job - as...

I've long supported the Swans and my eyes tell me what's obvious, with or without facts. While Grimes has been consistent in 1. his regularity of appearances, season in season out, and 2. his high passing stats ( mainly sideways & backwards) he has most certainly been a brake on creative and...

I had a quick look at the Coventry Forum tonight after their play off loss. This comment struck a chord with me 😊 - "I know I’m in the minority here, but Grimes ain’t all that. He’s great on the ball, he just receives it way too deep and is not adventurous enough. Receiving the ball deeper...

Even with this change, football will never be like basketball. Goals will still be hard to come by with defenders and attackers on virtually the same line. But just as Monmouth says, marginal calls should go to the attacker. No-one is really happy with the current system...so why not trial...

The original, and obvious, reason for the offside rule was to prevent a totally unfair advantage to an attacking player eg if he stood way past the last defender. Fair enough. But where is the obvious advantage if the last defender and the attacker are in line with each other. I'm with...

Whatever the statistics are, my eyes just tell me that it's more direct and entertaining than the Martin and Williams bore-fests. Thank god !!

God how we could do with him up front. Absolute pleasure to have witnessed him

... who can either still go up or down 😂 Crazy league. The other two are Wednesday and Norwich https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckg1y7ddrpxo

Then just blame Laudrup for your bad memory, rather than calling the whole thing a disaster and berating marketing people. Joyous occasion for me, glad I wasn't standing next to you 😂. Though what's all this got to do with Modric, I just don't get it 🤔.

A strange post this, esp. the last paragraph above. I for one loved seeing our only major trophy on display through the City. As did thousands of others. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-21579285

This compilation just popped up on my YouTube. For me - a mixture of pleasure/pride 😊 but also sorrow with what we've lost 😓. But at least we experienced a great ride, lots never have. Weirdly, I also enjoyed the win of another football team today - Newcastle. The Final at Wembley genuinely...
