You have got to laugh, the most important cup to win, but all the managers play their second team players until it goes tits up and bring on rested players and very rarely is rectified, step forward Pep always plays strongest team.
Bloody Crystal Palace.

11 Jan 2026 01:53:32
Palace have a lot of games this year. Nothing wrong with playing a weakened team against a team you should beat. Europe and premier league to contend with, we will play a weakened team vs annan.

11 Jan 2026 11:00:11
it seems some are unhappy that their bet didn't come up 😉.

11 Jan 2026 11:31:12
i honestly don't know why anyone would risk any team at palace odds of around 1-7

no value to anyone unless they have 70k to win 10k, and the risk of them not winning an fa cup tie away from home is always a possibility

palace would have added extremely little to your coupon mate, and they've cost you instead, lesson to be learned, never back any football team under 1-2 at least, not worth it.

10 Jan 2026 16:05:27
Macclesfield beating Crystal Palace in the FA Cup today.

10 Jan 2026 17:24:35
Good result for them, My Star.
TBH, I've little interest in the FA cup these days.

10 Jan 2026 17:29:38
I don't understand why clubs play a weakened team. Any that does deserves what they get.
Have you see the villa starting 11 v Tottenham?

10 Jan 2026 18:22:52
The wonders of a plastic pitch?

10 Jan 2026 18:35:13
Unai Emery takes cup games seriously and paying off with Villa 2 up.

10 Jan 2026 18:42:39
I was surprised at both Rogers and Watkins on the bench but they look better since Rogers came on, he's having a great season. Buendia
Playing well.

10 Jan 2026 19:04:28
I hate the FA cup, brutal to get a coupon up (which is generally brutal for me most weeks these days 🤣)

10 Jan 2026 19:09:00
BAR pitch had little to do with it. attitude of both teams was what told. you wouldn't have known who was the top league team at times. good victory in memory of their team mate who died in a car crash recently. as an added bonus cash will help them grow again.

10 Jan 2026 19:28:35
JFM rogers started did he not? I watched the first half and could have sworn he scored, unless he was brought on early.

10 Jan 2026 20:01:01
He was brought on in 11 minutes after an injury to kamara.

10 Jan 2026 20:33:10
thought that was tielemans that came on early.

10 Jan 2026 20:38:46
Had palace on my 12 team ACCA they were the only one to let me down one other on my ACCA for tomorrow hoping that loses so it's just not palace.

10 Jan 2026 20:48:00
Sorry Tav you are correct.

10 Jan 2026 22:24:30
Yeah Rodgers started.

11 Jan 2026 10:04:32
Dado two cup coupons up yesterday 4 folds btts

I think the smaller teams always a good bet to score, two ten pound bets both return over £90 each.

10 Jan 2026 12:10:33
If we do sign Neil from Sunderland, do you think we could still go after Andersen? I'd love to see him in the team.

10 Jan 2026 12:23:52
I know Neil is a CM and Andersen more a DM, but can play CM. Given we look like we've landed Tochi in LM, I feel we are well covered in midfield, assuming Tochi and Neil land. Would still like to see us get Andersen though.

10 Jan 2026 12:48:26
Laudrup Neil dcm or cm, used mostly at dcm last season.

11 Jan 2026 00:29:59
CDM yes.

09 Jan 2026 21:31:00
Daily record reporting the we have made an approach for Dan Neil and Romaine Mundle of Sunderland both very good players and Dan Neil former captain.

09 Jan 2026 16:10:24
According to Daily Record we are interested in 2 from Sunderland, defensive midfielder Neil and winger Mundle.

09 Jan 2026 17:13:41
Loan would be the best bet for Mundle he is a player I really like but recurring hamstring problems, occurring more in players with his pace.
Neil was be a class signing.

09 Jan 2026 18:24:23
Would be a class signing.

09 Jan 2026 18:30:59
Star can't see them letting Neil go on loan in last 6 months of his deal anyway. do you think e would be trying for a pre-contract before teams in England get the chance.

09 Jan 2026 19:17:29
Angus Neil would be a shrewd move. Covers Barron absence, helps get Barron up to speed again.

If it did not work we would have Barron back. Then sell Neil if required,

Makes me wonder re Watson move.

09 Jan 2026 19:25:15
He wouldn't out go on loan Angus i don't think, Sunderland will want something for him.

09 Jan 2026 19:31:16
John does Watson not play a slightly different role to Barron as in he is a more attacking player. must say I haven't paid that much attention but something tells me he was always more advanced when we played them than Barron was.

Star/John I agree he won't come on loan which was why I asked. don't see Sunderland being that desperate to get a wage off their books for 6 months.

09 Jan 2026 19:46:50
I don't think we are actually pursuing Watson however I presume you have heard otherwise John?

09 Jan 2026 21:01:58
Watson does play more forward than Barron, he is also a good rb

Bunster we have scouted Watson for two years.

09 Jan 2026 22:35:16
John, also not saying we wouldn't sign Dan Neil on loan just that it would be odd for club to do that in last 6 months of his deal. surely they would sell for small fee or we would try for pre-contract.

10 Jan 2026 00:17:02
John Dan Neil is a very good player mate, his workrate is second to none.

10 Jan 2026 08:54:34
Heard same re Rothwell. Let's wait and see what happens.

10 Jan 2026 10:04:47
John because Rothwell didn't settle, and who said anything about Rothwell's workrate? would like hearing that poster users name, again Niel's workrate is second to none, watched him well over 150 games and a very impressive cm that can play any central role.

10 Jan 2026 10:09:13
You trying to say Rothwell isn't a good player now John? wouldn't be expecting that from you but whatever mate, that tells me a different story.

10 Jan 2026 12:12:54
Dan Neil's a great wee player.

Would be a warrior type for me in our mf. he'd do a great job.

10 Jan 2026 17:31:19
On his time in Scotland he isn't a good player.

Tho apparently he was the best midfielder in Scotland 🤔.

Why can't you accept people have different opinions instead of throwing in wee snide remarks saying that tells me a different story? Your opinion isn't the oracle.
Infact you haven't a great record on here with your opinions of players you have about 2 out of a 1000 correct.

10 Jan 2026 18:17:08
I've always said Rothwell not a good player, done zero in a Rangers jersey, work rate for us very poor imo.

10 Jan 2026 18:19:02
My star I'm very interested what story this tells you, I've said let's wait and see if we sign him, if he then delivers.

09 Jan 2026 15:25:48
Huge game on Sunday to take 3 points, only one more game in jan in league at home against Dundee so hopefully still in a strong position, new signings have the cup and euro games to bed in which hopefully helps for league games in Feb and onwards so huge game on Sunday get by that and I be a lot more confident.

09 Jan 2026 17:19:58
Coopers I don't think the new players can be played in Europe. only after the league phase would we be allowed to add 3 new players as replacements. I think we can make 1 change this year to the squad if a player already there is ling-term injury as Celtic earlier in season.

09 Jan 2026 19:19:25
Angus have we not made the one change re long term injury, ie Sterling for Cornelius

U r correct re the other three changes won't affect us.

09 Jan 2026 19:31:50
That is correct John. I couldn't be bothered checking and forgot about that.

10 Jan 2026 13:51:30
Time on training field with team before February games should be enough to integrate them, get over the line on Sunday the main thing then we see who comes in.

09 Jan 2026 11:00:33
TBH that's why I wouldn't give Sterling a new contract. 🤷🏼.

09 Jan 2026 12:29:49
Windy He's not out very long thankfully.

09 Jan 2026 13:18:45
Really good news on Sterling.
Unfortunately, 8/12 weeks for Barron.

09 Jan 2026 17:21:21
Sterling is contracted till summer of 27 though so no rush to make that decision. I think he just needs to get his issue sorted, which was mentioned don here and then get back to fitness. muscle injuries happen after a long lay off all the time. this seems just a tweak and nothing serious.

09 Jan 2026 08:03:38
With the unfortunate injury news regarding Barron, could this be an opportunity for Lyall Cameron to establish himself?

09 Jan 2026 09:13:57
Hope so but he needs to start applying himself more. Going by recent comments from Rohl he's not doing enough in training to get in the team.

09 Jan 2026 10:29:21
Cameron said a while back that being at Rangers was a different job to his time at Dundee. training was at a different pace of play and a few other things around hoop it was different. so he may be struggling with that still hence the manager's comments on him having a good training week recently.

if he has been carrying an injury as well that won't have helped.
hopefully he can come good as there is a decent young player there.

09 Jan 2026 12:54:37
I like him but think a loan back out is probably what he needs.

10 Jan 2026 19:53:06
I would loan him down England hope he plays well and sell it seems if they are his comments the weight of the jersey is to much for him.

08 Jan 2026 21:49:55
Were Chukwuani and Rommens Koppens targets

I'm hearing there the current recruitment targets and were not part of koppens past targets

Not that it matters really

But would be good to know the current recruitment team can identify quality targets whilst being able to negotiate getting them into the club.

08 Jan 2026 22:01:39
Tochi I believe was profiled by Koppen whilst playing at Lyngby, Rommens is a new target i believe.

08 Jan 2026 22:17:16
sounds like they were both identified using Koppen's methods anyway. already 1st team picks at their current club and at a young age to develop further. the way ahead I think.

09 Jan 2026 09:14:27
Stig, without sounding disrespectful, I think a few people misunderstand Koppens role at the club.

Koppen joined as Head of Scouting and then moved to the role of Technical Director.

In these roles he was responsible for developing and implementing a recruitment strategy, leading a team of scouts and analysts, identifying player pathways, and overseeing player evaluation and reporting.

Obviously in his role he would have direct knowledge of players that he'd feed in to the recruitment team - like Igamane.

However at Rangers he wasn't scouting players, he was operating at a much higher level.

I posted ages ago that Purdy was really impressed by Koppens methods and wasn't looking to rip these up, but to tweak them based on his experience/ preferences.

The recruitment team are still monitoring and profiling players identified during GVBs time, and Clements, and Fergusons and will continue to grow and develop this under Rohl - and they're very much using the processes embedded by Koppen to do so.

09 Jan 2026 09:23:42
Stig to hi was looked at by us before he went to Austria as aphe says it looks like Rommens was not on our radar.

09 Jan 2026 09:56:40
Absolutely priceless John.

What changed in your info from yesterday when you posted that all three were from the book of Koppen - then had a little tantrum when I corrected it?

09 Jan 2026 12:05:41
Ehl be clear my tantrum was not at u but at onewalter,

Did u not read my post when I said I respect u. And your info, you may know better than me in fact probably do, but onewalter has never performed in a senior role at our club.

09 Jan 2026 12:57:25
Both fantastic posters, very knowledgeable indeed. Ehl more so aboit anything training ground based which includes for me, and John more so at board level as well as signings.

Two outstanding posters. Lucky to have one never mind both.

09 Jan 2026 13:00:30
It's not about knowing better John, we all post what we hear, good, bad ugly.

And everything we choose to post is immediately open to scrutiny, challenge and even ridicule.

It feels like every time someone questions or challenges you take it as a personal attack and threaten to hold back future information.

You are one of the best posters on here and I know pretty much everyone values your input - beyond just the rumours, as your view on the game in general is excellent.

Personally I'd love to see the John who was happy to debate and discuss, whilst ignoring the wind up merchants or those fishing for reaction.

09 Jan 2026 14:02:13
Gentlemen you are both outstanding posters and friends.
Let's try and eliminate the arguments amongst friends as there is so much people trying to wind up or fish that we need to stick together and harness the good on the site.

09 Jan 2026 14:21:51
Whoever it is who knows Koppen please ask him to come on here asap to clear some stuff up, same message to Cavenagh too, it would be helpful.

09 Jan 2026 14:37:14
Ehl u definitely know more than me re training ground, I have absolutely no issue re that.

Ehl the individual one Walter had a serious dig, he effectively told people not to believe me, but believe you.

No excuses, u do not know what happens in my life.

09 Jan 2026 14:53:45
Ehl could t have put it better mate.

I also would like to see the old John back again, sharing all his rumours and hearsay he gets.

I know that he doesn't do that anymore and it does seem rather silly to do this simply cause a few people disagree at times. Or others fet to ridicule on purpose for John to do exactly as he's done.

You're letting the haters win John.

As always ots upto the individual I suppose.

09 Jan 2026 19:24:51
Stevie get what u say, but my health and family health is far more important than,
I will review after window shuts, let's not forget i'm told my information can be got any where, I should not be on here as I am friends with members of board, and worst off all i'm to rich

We have Isle of Mull to thank for last two

I'm a blue nose like bast majority on hearb.

09 Jan 2026 19:39:56
IOM is a complete clown John I wouldn't bother about him.

09 Jan 2026 19:45:41
Stevie g, let me try picking up
On your point, I've been posting under sifting names for yrars& years, and change my users name because I move address, I first posted under george123 if my memory serves me well, I think it's s diferent John that nos posts, due to his mid spelling as the other John never made any mistakes like such, that's the only reason I think it's a diferent John, on and the current guy posting under John seems to be more cranky, snapper in some of his tedponcrs which I'd why I sometimes snap back at him, I could be completly wrong, if I am then please except my opoligies John.

09 Jan 2026 20:00:00
John I totally respect your position mate.

Just a pity as the site is poorer for it.

I remember u and mull having a lot of go to's on the old finances page so my take would be that he has waited for first opportunity to get a dig in at u any time he can. Yous we're old foes on that finance page lol

Nobody ever get anything right all the time but a couple of weeks bits a news a year I thing is all we can expect anyone to get correct.

We know your a diehard John ye don't have to debate that with anyone maye and there's nothing wrong with being rich or certainly well off. That's the aim of the game is it not? 👍🏻.

09 Jan 2026 20:39:49
Fraser it's the same John mate haha 🙈😂.

09 Jan 2026 21:27:42
Fraser you are completely wrong.

10 Jan 2026 11:30:22
Fraser nice name. It's the same John 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

10 Jan 2026 18:24:13
Fraser I'm 100% the. Same guy, no sympathy but my health is extremely poor, virtually blind now, bypass, many other issues, it's called life.

I come here to escape.

10 Jan 2026 22:27:07
You keep
Coming John and sorry about your health mate 👍.
