STEVEN'S JOB NOT SO 'ARD

New boss will be relaxed about his task at Ibrox says Matthew Lindsay

There have been some harsh words written about the 5-0 loss suffered by Rangers yesterday but manager in waiting Steven "Ger" Gerrard would have seen plenty encouraging signs as he plots the downfall of Celtic next season.

On the face of it, a five goal defeat would seem a heavy one but the home side must be kicking themselves at not scoring more, and really they let their support down by not trying for the last 40 minutes or so.

They should also have been down to 10 men after Mikael Lustig impersonated a police officer whilst celebrating a goal, a deciding factor in this pulsating game.

Had striker Odsonne Edouard been on the bench, as he normally is at the start of these affairs, there is no way he would have scored his two goals and the match would have taken a different complexion. Gerrard would certainly have noted this glaring fact as he plots the destruction of the very fabric of the club formed in Glasgow's east end to give people slops for tea.

Much has been said of James Forrest's display, but his "goal" owed more to luck than skill. His run through the entire Rangers defence and finish saw him celebrate like he had just scored his first goal against the light blue giants. You can just imagine new supremo Gerrard marking the little runway-pissing scrote's card for the stunning treble Rangers winning campaign next year.

And the former Liverpool giant would have been stroking his pencil at the incredible support given by the Ibrox legions, who streamed out of the ground after the third goal went in with a show of staunch defiance.

Celtic may have won this particular encounter, but the war has just started.

You know, I’ve read enough of these to know better but for the first time in a while I had to go back to the start after a couple of paragraphs just to make sure.

The metre, vocabulary and pace of these parodies make them near indistinguishable from the real thing and it’s only the ‘in-jokes’ that make them recognisable. That’s their genius and long may it continue to be so. I consider myself a bit of a ‘wordsmith’ at times but this really is tinsoldier’s domain.

Did he give any hints why he parted company with Morton?

KJ, "Despite reports claiming all hell broke loose inside that Hampden dressing room, there was no bust up between this pair (Wallace and Miller) and the manager", "Before the former England and Liverpool skipper stakes his reputation on this lot, he should consider the mess they have made of Murty’s career".
Keith not happy with Dave King and the board.

This is a Rangers board that replaces professionals with patsies in the name of self-preservation – Keith Jackson
Keith reckons the feckless and reckless Ibrox board destroyed Graeme Murty but he must also take a share of the blame.

I can’t quite remember but was Keith as disparaging about the appointment of Pedro and the signings of the likes of Pena, Herrera, Dalcio and Alves at the time? All I can recall in the press was the lionising of the bull-fighting Bond-alike Caixhina - similar to the championing of Craig Whyte and Charles Green.

Change of tack for Keith if he’s being circumspect about the potential appointment of Gerrard.

This. I also recall the media support for the tremendous signings they made in January and the wonderful job Murty was doing. They were back (again). Not so much now, eh?

Perhaps an esteemed member of the media pack will pen an emotional piece on how shameless reporters such as Jackson are, rather than turning their hindsight to maximum and stating what was blatantly obvious (at least to those of us without blue tinted specs) at the time the events happened.

Pretty much stopped reading at "Un-Murtygated disaster" though.

Did someone say SMSM was on it's knees? They are a mess & we've seen this show a hundred times from them.

He said on RS last night that Crawford Rae recently took over from Douglas Rae (his father) as chairman and told him he was no longer required.

Think he mentioned that the long term Chairman left, and his son took over and that had something to do with it. But I wasn't paying much attention either, so I could have thought I heard that!

IIRC the bold keech was the main media cheerleader and mouthpiece during the takeover by the 3 hairs.... which funnily enough might just be an event that ruins the GASL

You just can't make this shampoo up.
