Rabid is quite a good name for you, do you foam at the mouth much?? It
has taken me a few minutes to stop laughing so I can reply to another of
your posts. Poor Dundee Utd, how dare they ban your star player from
playing against Rangers. If Ferguson missing the game is your excuse for
being gubbed 4-0 at home then your team must be in a very sorry way. I
forgot how good a defender he was, or was he going to score 5 for you.
Has he ever scored against Rangers?? As to Smith's signings you are
obviously unable to recognise good players. He had a clear plan from the
start to get rid of some of the 'foreigners' at Ibrox and replace them
with Scotsmen (presumably with Europe in mind). This he did while adding
Miko and Trevor Steven to Goram, Robertson, Mcpherson and McCall. We
will see how long it is before Robertson is capped and Maurice Malpas is
dropped for good by Scotland. He really looks a bit slow now don't you
think?? I take it point 4 refers to some DU vs Hibs game where there was
a big crowd at Tannadice. I'm afraid I can't stretch my imagination to
believe that a DU vs Hibs game at Tannadice was a sell out, even with a
cut in capacity. Or are you refering to some time in the distant past??
As to Ibrox never being sold out I would have to disagree. Aberdeen,
Celtic and lastly Leeds have played in front of capacity (or JUST under)
this season. Your last comment about Andy Goram is hardly worth
answering. He IS Scottish, playing for a Scottish club and Scotland. I
don't care if he speaks like the Queen, he is by far and away the best
in the country at the moment. Keep taking the tablets for the foaming!!
