Reply | New pre match song
at 07:35 5 Sep 2026
Absolutely this, along with Dave B’s point below it. I’m clearly in the minority here, but I think the song is alright. It’s no masterpiece, but as mentioned, football songs are really hard to write and inevitably by nature come across as contrived.
Two points:
1) As Dorse said, this should have been teased out. Play bits of it here and there, maybe underscore a video, sow seeds that make people think “hello, what’s this?”. Let the interest develop organically and without a heavy hand and see how it takes.
2) A lot of the more established club songs like Marching on Together for Leeds (written in 1972), and the Sky Blues song for Coventry (words written by Jimmy Hill and his Mrs, no less, based on a already existing tune) I think are pretty cringey too, but they are inextricably their clubs’s songs. Over the years they’ve become really established, maybe fans from years gone by were more forgiving, less critical and happy to actually have their own club song.
We don’t really have our own song and Captain Jack is more call/response and lyrically should remain on the terraces!! If we are to have one, it’s got to start somewhere.
I think we’ve missed a trick here, and the club have really mismanaged this. Constructive criticism is all well and good, but needs to be measured even if you don’t like it. These lads are our own after all. |

This. And all questionably funded. Without the oligarch’s financial clout, they’d have had none of it. |

So sorry to hear of your news Mart. And thank you for being so open and honest. All I can do is echo the love and support for you, your Mrs and your family. Hang in there mate. Love and prayers to you and yours, and definitely make some space for yourself in what must be a whirlwind of emotion and pain.
The Rs can be a supportive bunch too, avail yourself fully of it. |

I quite like the G&W hoops… it causes a lot of confusion when I tell people it’s a Rangers top!
Agree with all your other thoughts tho, especially the own goal. Nothing will ever come close to Jamie Pollock’s moment of genius, because that really took thought (!), but today’s had serious comedic value! |

Dark chocolate Bounty, yes please!! There was a time, in the mid 90s I think, when along with the milk chocolate ice cream Bounty, they also did a dark chocolate ice cream Bounty. Now that was heavenly!! Milk chocolate one was nowhere near as good. A real shame they stopped doing them.
With regard to the pre-American take over phase, I always loved a Cadbury’s Twirl. A rich chocolate hit. Unfortunately nowadays it just tastes like a really powdery, oily, sweet concoction of disappointment. |

It was lovely and long overdue to see Paul Parker again. What a top quality player he was. So quick, effective in the tackle, great in the air despite his diminutive stature and an excellent passer of the ball. No wonder Ferguson wanted him at Man U.
Came across as really down to earth and humble, despite the success he went on to have at that place, and his warm words about Macca were really poignant and heartfelt.
A thoroughly decent bloke and if that was his reception into the Forever Rs, it’s long overdue, especially considering his relatively recent charity fund raising bike rides. Glad it was done tho.
Proper Rangers Legend. |

Everything as was said here too!!
Great report as per usual Clive.
We were as brilliant as Leicester were poor. They were absolutely awful. To show the level of disinterest, lack of effort and disrespect of their own fans was shameful. To be shown up by a 16 year old, considering the “value” of his teammates was diabolical. Never was a team so undeserving of a consolation goal, and they couldn’t even get the penalty right first time.
Leicester are probably one of the few sides with whom I have no particular axe to grind. I’ve been happy enough for them (as much as you can really for another team) and I wish we had their relatively recent success. But they were by far the worst team I’ve seen at Loftus Road this season.
The image of Jordan Ayew standing, shoulders slouched and with his hands open, looking like he’d just dropped his school dinner tray, not realising what had just happened when Mbengue had just scored his thunderb@$!@rd goal summed Leicester up for me. Didn’t know what hit them, and couldn’t be @£sed to do anything about it. |

It’s Zan Celar’s number which he was assigned at the start of the season before he went on loan to Fortuna Düsseldorf. (And no, according to Wikipedia, he hasn’t scored for them yet.) |

As much as I hate to say it, as he always plays well against us, Bannan is like the Pirlo of the Championship in terms of his vision and execution. |

Tbh, at risk of being labeled as lacking ambition, I agree with you Colin. Whilst it does irk me to see the likes of Brentford and Fulham up there with that other lot, I feel that you sell your club’s soul chasing the Premier League “dream”. The thought of being in PL being the cannon fodder for the “big” teams, have decisions go against us on a regular basis, not to mention VAR all in the hope that we don’t get relegated from the “best league” in the world that we have no chance of winning. And if were possible (!) we’d have even less interest in the cups to stay in the league.
Whilst things aren’t exactly equal in the Championship, it’s far more competitive, bottom can beat top on any given day and there is the sliver of a chance that we might do ok in it.
At risk of sounding like Kevin and Perry when being asked why they were adopting fake Mancunian accents, the Championship feels “more real”!! |

Reply | Dembele
at 17:36 21 Sep 2025
I definitely think he has the skill and ability. The question is how long it will take him to adapt to the rigours of the Championship given his injuries. As a rule, I think it takes a season or so for new players either coming up from a lower division, or a foreign league, to properly adjust before they properly get to grips with the pace/physicality etc. That’s assuming they can make the step up.
Take Madsen and to a lesser extent Saito. Yes they have different players around them now and that obviously makes a difference, but they are better now for having played a significant number of games in this league. Dembele will get there, but needs more games.
Of course there are exceptions - Kone seems to be taking to the Championship like a duck to water, but that’s why he’s an exception. |

Reply | Nardi or Walsh for Charlton Game
at 22:45 26 Aug 2025
Def agree with you Brian on Walsh getting the benefit of a year in League 1 to develop his skills and confidence, something that as you say won’t happen in a hurry behind this unsettled defence. I would have said Nardi as No 1 because of Walsh simply not being ready yet. But I’m intrigued by your thinking - what is it about Nardi that makes him unsuited for the Championship? Is it because he needs to be more commanding of his area, and more committed? (Might have answered my own question there!)
Any thoughts as to who might fit the bill? Didn’t we have some Brazilian keeper (not Cesar!!) in the development squad who was supposed to be the next big thing? |
