My name is Colin McDuff and I will be your host this fine Thursday evening. As the sun is shining, I was so slightly behind me. Got my two of my best pals on a talk about all fine's rangers. And rangers have not only a game, but a statement to talk about as well, it's going to be a barrel of laughs. First of all, let's introduce the two guests for this evening. The man on the continent is David E. How are you doing? Yeah, fine Colin, visit a couple of days. I've not had a lot of chance to keep up with the football last few days, I'm afraid. So I'm a little bit unprepared, normally I'm far better prepared, but I'll hopefully add still some content to the show. That smile was content enough for myself and my other guest, Andy Stewart. How are you this evening, mate? Yeah, not too bad, it's nice that there's been a couple of Thursdays in a row, but this time, David's not bragging about how warm it is over there, and it's not backing it down with rain here, which is a nice change for our Scottish summertime. But yeah, I suppose rangers have spoiled us in the last couple of days with content, given the fact that we've been, you know, how many times can you mention Janis Haggis' weird hairband at the Euros before it gets still? But yeah, good to be back on, and I think we've got more to talk about. Content is a nice wee segue into a hello to all the rationals watching. And if you do want to ask a content, you can get us on a YouTube member page or Patreon for choose £1 a month. If no, if you're, if this, as the name I've seen, is enough in my passion for you, even though I like to subscribe, goes a long way, really does help the board. And the loyalty, all the rationals getting involved in the live chat already, nice to see all the usual, all the usual suspects popping up. So gentlemen, let's get right in a bit. Tonight, this statement came out. The long awaited statement from John Boehner. I'm not going to read it, but the crux of it was, we acknowledge that there's no being an update. We're in talks with Hamden. We'll give you the actual philanthropic update at the end of July. So David, the statement said that there'll be a statement we're on, basically. Yeah, that's what it is. A statement to tell everybody there's going to be a statement at the end of July. That's a few things I didn't call them that it's pretty worrying. And that was, as it had mentioned, they haven't got the metal yet. So, and they have no idea why it'll be coming. That was, that was, that's pretty frightening. It's really, really frightening. And I think it's a sort of a push out of the fear into me that we're going to be out for most of the season, not going to have a little bit of Hamden for most of the season. Really, that's really the way I'm thinking. So it's really a statement that puts more fear into his within, than helps us over the, over the, oh, that's okay. We'll be back at Iberl to the, at the end of August, so we'll begin in September, because it's not what we know. Andi, this is the first time that we've held, held Hamden B, well, I'm sorry. I was going to say the first time we've had Ranger C, Hamden's an obvious, and this is the first thing we've held, Ranger C, anything's an option, because we've no health in them. The, so I was looking at us all the way up, but I don't know if you both would have seen this or the rest of us. The Twitter page, "Strotting coefficient," who we've used quite a lot in some of the stats of the post, are very well-run page, and we really does break down a lot of the, the "What could happen if XYZ games play out in Europe and how it impacts the Strotting coefficient when Rangers and not sometimes other teams are playing in Europe. So they've done a digging on the UEFA regulations for stadiums, so I'm just going to give you a kind of rundown. Andi, basically, if you, if I agree in advance, they could play qualifiers in August at Hamden and in the week phase in September at Iberocs, if it was ready. They cannot play some week phase matches at Hamden and some at Iberocs. They cannot change stadium from week phase to knockout rounds in February. Therefore, Rangers will be in a situation where, once Iberocs is ready, they will be playing out with games at Iberocs and the European games at Hamden. That's if they go into a week football, a European week football, where Iberocs not ready, that's an absolute shambles and is working very likely that that could be the case. I'd did a long list of shambles entries we've had in the last three months alone, I suppose. I mean, it's a piece of history. I mean, what was the last European goal squad that Hamden was at, Zenidane's at Dan Volley and the Champions League Final? I saw it just another quality goal squad that Hamden that Scott Wright would have been proud of, but yeah, it's hardly ideal. I feel like I've been saying hard that I deal in every podcast in the last month, but yeah, kind of just getting used to getting slapped in the face at this point in time. That's just the way it is. There was no way we were going to come out of this whole thing in a good kind of environment. There's going to be an answer. It's going to be toxic talking to AGMs and stuff like that. I think it will be an absolute barn burner. The next one, it's going to be theatre and cinematic and sitting back with your popcorn and just enjoying this meltdown at this stage. You have to have people sweating answering the questions that they should be answering and certain things like supporter updates, almost as if they're supposed to talk to everyone in a while, but that is what it is. It's an absolute scam that we're having to say that and just take it on the chin, but I suppose the supporters we kind of have to. It's hardly ideal to say it again, but it's pretty nuts. I mean, that's going to be Hamden. Murray Field and a friendly and then Potentially, I've actually done these into those three different Scottish grounds. It ranges a bit fine after that this season. So, I've got to put a question out to both of you. And I'm going to put the same question in the YouTube chat for the live listeners. Do rangers need to make a decision here then? Because realise that when you're like bad and have sort of disaster. I mean, maybe it is not over for the realm of possibility. I've got to be playing European group football, group stage football. In fact, I think that's actually confirmed that we always get to the conference week. So, given the track record of getting through to the Europa League group stages, you need to think that this year after the Europa League and all the conference week, then we should be expecting European football after Christmas. If that's the case, do we need to work out maybe just keeping Hamden for as long as we can? Or do we, I mean, I don't even know if that's possible with SFA with like that. Or do we go with the option of domestic games at iBrux, European games at Hamden? David, kick us off. Obviously, I think the quicker we can get back to iBrux, the better. But they're not going to let us play where we are stand shot. That's for sure. It wouldn't be feasible anyway, financially. Financial would be better. Obviously going to Hamden, it wouldn't be fair to the people in the court when they can't get into the ground. So, I think Hamden is a better option. I don't think, I just won't call on this. It's a short term thing, but it just doesn't. As I say that, the way he came out with that statement today, it was like a long term ball at Hamden. I mean, it shouldn't. Other people have got to get travel and stay in hotels and things like that. We obviously don't have to do that. So, for European games, I don't think it'll affect us that much. I think Hamden will become a great way to Hamden often enough. So, I don't think it'll affect us that way. I don't see what, when we games at Hamden, iBrux does. And then when European games, I don't know what that'll do. I just think that we should. Yeah, here are my rationale. This isn't the only walks that need done at iBrux. There's obviously going to be safe standing. There's going to be further developments over the next two to the year, every summer. It was planning if the first one is fair and it's ours. And to save the hassle of changing a home venue every set in the week. I don't know, as it maybe is just well-being ability and getting everything done and that's it. Again, it's just purely hypothetical. I don't know if the SFA would even allow it as an option, but I just thought I'd put, just thought I'd put it over there. But it's all Biz Gross fault that he's left. It's a, yeah, it's not a do it man, it's a good guy, you know. It's a Biz Gross, Biz Gross is the person he's away. So everything's all rosy now in the garden. No, it's obviously passing the buck there, but for some day that has left, probably that way because of that, I don't know. Maybe I thought I'd better get out of here before the storm breaks. No, I don't really see if I can get back in. Yeah, get back to eyebrows and we've got to get back to eyebrows. But it's going to be a remain in the work where the stand isn't ready yet. Now that we've got to go for it, stay over there. But there's SFA, I'll grant it call. They're wanting money. They've seen those signs before the rise at the moment. That's the way they're holding it. We've got, I mean, Prince Park will be paying topms for using Hamden and we'll be paying big money for him. And that's going to be very interesting at the annual channel meeting call. And much this is actually going to cost us all. Don't worry, that question won't be asked. At the cost of it, when it goes to the Q&A, somebody will step up and say, I bought a pie for the Bremen Realt and it wears roasting hot and it's sad and freezing cold in the middle. It's true, well, I'm going to get my napkin. I'm going to get my napkin. They only give me one napkin with the top here. But when I grabbed it, the bottom part, it bumped my arm. That's what it's going to be. And they put up on the rest of us in the YouTube and they said, no, we shouldn't even consider playing Hamden for the field of season. You know, and I think it's fair enough. I was just finding out there for a span on the walks. My favorite comments from then, we probably won't have money to do the next of renovations till next season, which I think is a fair point. Me personally, with Avi, let's get back to Iberux and I think we'd be able to make Hamden walk for special European nights. Do you have any other thoughts? In the great ones of the Rolling Stones, you can't always get what you want. It's going to be, you're going to get what you're tell. We're just going to have to deal with it. It's the way it is. I mean, as some of you were saying, we're just going to have to try and make it feel like home and get behind the players as much as we can. The way we would be in Iberux and stuff like that. No execution of the cops now, because Hamden is going to be like, it's going to a home game and the semi-finals and finals of the cops. So we have no excuse not to do it, at least a cup double this season. There's your hot take, it's not actually a hot take. No one rangers anything can happen. You can dump down the quarter finals by some championship team. Just shows you where we are at the moment, where this stats humorous, that the worst is upon us, as well as, I know our support is probably, we'll find a way to get by and do our best to push the players on all the same. Have we seen if everybody had sexier, they'd have said at the beginning, we need a full season away from Iberux, we're going to hire Hamden. Then there would have been no problem, but then we would have all accepted that. The way it's just come in, and then they've not let anybody know what's happening. Everybody's been sort of rumors here and rumors there. There was something wrong one before they actually came out, the Rangers brought in at the note, there was rumors kicking about, and they've just asked, that's a problem, they've just where it go. And even though they haven't accomplished what's happening, I mean, Venice, he's brought out a statement. They haven't accomplished what happened a bit, they don't even know where they're still coming. And Colin, that's what worries me because if you have a boat, if you've got metal on a boat, you've got steel on a boat, that boat's got a sort of a time one that said that it works too. A boat can't just say, or we were supposed to be there in September, but we'll maybe be coming in February, and the boats don't, what's that? These containers, they work their time, and they can't just, so they must know, there's either something else wrong, Colin, or the planning is absolutely shocking. I think there's a write-off. We could not run a bath the way it goes. And again, we'll know they're over the last couple of weeks, where we win any example after example of the boat getting the wrong, but they've got a track, track record. Andy, I want to just finish in your thoughts on this. You are probably, yourself and Bell are probably the most level-headed poders on, you've still got your full optimism, and Bell's just like a big chill guy, right? The rest of us are a wee bit again, right? When it comes to it and growing up, it changes. Myself included, right? In the last few weeks, I have been spitting my dummy, but for some day, I quite glad I flew in our level-headed perspective. Do you think the reaction is justified in the support? I mean, yeah, I think anybody should be clapping hands going great. We've absolutely used the words that Bennett has been using the best in class. This has been a show date, so I'm starting to finish. I mean, it screams lack of effort or lack of concentration on the project. In handing it off to middlemen, I know the whole thing about this act, the project manager and stuff like that. It just screams off. We've got other things to do, like, I don't know, another round of golf, like, tumbary, we're supposed to still sponsor or whatever, or, you know, we're going to Kissimmee in Florida to take the piss for the summer. It's none of this has been handled, brilliantly. The only reason I'm half full, like, glass half full, is because, I mean, you just get good days out. I was brought up in bad days, you know. There's no other way of sugar-coating it, you know. Long, long gone are the days of me just being in the papers for good things. So when I was growing up, it was, fuck, France and Dazza just pissed off. He's gone somewhere else. She told us we're shaking the fuck off, language, sorry. Ian Black, again, third week in a row, we mentioned Ian Black. This is just that, this is what I've, this is bread and butter, except it's no bread and it's margarine for me, which I don't like. It's awful, it's awful and it's always been awful. It's hard not to, when you start around, keep going because it just domino effect into God knows what... Is Ali still on garden leave? Is that what we're doing to pay for this deal because we're still buying up my colleagues. That's, that's what, it's honestly, you go, it's, it's, it's shambles and only shambles. Um, it's awful, it's just awful. Um, and it, I just try to think, I don't know, see if you had the performances of football last season going, when we lost the title race. If you had those games being played, there's pure quality in those games right now, but that's going on, I think I might break. Because at least there's no actual games being played to ruin my spirit. Because if, if it were to keep being, that's as dropped points at county away or, you know, uh, we've bottled the lead against Motherwell at home and, and cocked it up again. Um, I think I would break, I'm being genuinely serious. Um, it's, it's just rough, but there's my rant for the evening done. Well, no time, but it's turn attention to matters on the field. Um, well, we had our riveting, um, and known all the raw, with, um, standard liaison yesterday. Um, Rangers, what, say they were right alive, tweet the updates, say the updates that we got, where the game is checked off. Here's your team. Half time, saying half gets off. Here's your team, through time, not on each, um, but in all, in all series. Anyway, um, uh, what is a few interesting, um, absinthees and some interesting inclusion. So I want to start with inclusions for us. Um, we've seen, we've seen Leon kind of playing right back. We've seen Cole McKinnon and Ross McChorzland both play. We've seen Inley Curtis, um, uh, somebody who's being really playing well for the beauty of Marshall, um, playing through the middle. We've seen, um, Robey Fraser play a left wing. So David does quite a heavy youth presence, um, and, uh, in the training camp. And good to see him getting minutes. Yeah, that's, that is, but it would have, it would have been a good part. So yeah, we're here, at least gather with, we're filled with blood with blood. Come on, man, wouldn't it be? We just passed him on for 20 minutes. It is great to see young guys get games at that, that's, that's for sure. But Cole, I would love to have seen the 11 players that we can actually put out. It's going to win the league and I'm afraid what I'm seeing at the moment, what were he, what were he and what were reading. I think my buddy, I'm not lucky if we can get 11 players on the part getting there at the beginning of the season, that, that's, that's the way it is. And then now I says, it's, uh, I don't know, it's, uh, yeah. We keep saying that this player's going to come in and that player's going to come in. No, there was a rumor to your defeat that, uh, that's absolutely nobody imminent. So yeah, you don't know what's happening. I mean, and now of course all these, these, uh, people that, that are from the other side, they're absolutely, they're absolutely clean with us. Uh, the, the data gets great and all these rumors are, no money. And if they can't, they bring in players because of no money and all these things. But we're, we're just giving them so much food to live on. And it's just absolutely, it's absolutely worrying to be honest with you, very good because I don't even know what's happening to it was a bit of an omniscient, also, as Andy said, when they're outside. Fuck them. That's, that's my take, everybody. Like, we, we need to look after the sales and don't worry about what they're doing. But Andy sounds, uh, they be pissed in my plate. Are you any, any more hopeful bit of young players? I was buzzing to see if Andrew cut us, um, get a game. Um, um, like, obviously you covered a lot of the B team games last year. And, um, well, we used to have folks while back in doing a B team coverage this season as well. So Andy, right? Maybe something to be a bit hopeful of. You've absolutely just ruined my next, I was going to say it was standard layers versus substandard ways, but, uh, but I was happy to see the young lads. And now I'll give you that one. Yeah, I was interested to see like some of the line up and where players were being played. Um, you know, because if you look at the team at a glance, you see, well, I think it was Nasala, uh, Balagan and King, well, like three in a row or something like that after, uh, after a bottle in the USA. And, uh, yes, I can go three center backs and then you go, no, really, King played right back. And then there was Red Band New York. So it's just, he's put King out wide. Um, I bet she called McKinnon. Um, I think he, he hasn't put a foot wrong for us. Um, and, and the games he was called up for last season. Um, I think I've been feet carried away. Um, when he was called the point for a cameo appearance, but then he looked at a place. Um, so I was good to see him again. You know, Robbie Fraser playing a bit more further up the park. I know he was, we've seen him play it left back, so. Oh, it's loading, playing as well. Yeah, I mean, it's hard to talk about loading, not mentioning the haircut, but, you know, uh, I was happy to see him back. I know there was a lot of question marks about, uh, where he stands in the team, but his future holds. Um, so he, he seems to be doing all that he can. Uh, he's impressed in the B team game, but last week, I want to say that was an advanced game, yeah, at the training center. And he scored. Um, so I mean, good. He's doing all he can. Um, it's up to, it's up to these players to impress the manager. If they want a future at the club. So he's doing his, his part. Um, yeah, family got us the thing. I got an all, as you said, good to see him playing as well. It's, I was, I'm still really kind of just hard to find things to be over the moon about, because it's in terms of football being played, because obviously it's so early in our season. What is our one bounce game against Hamilton and in standard? Um, so we'll see, you know, this time up next, not next week, week after, um, you're going to have the Manchester United game, maybe look at it in maybe a bit more detail. Maybe see some more of the players that, you know, will be featuring more often for us playing against, um, post euros, redo and man United. Um, so it's not as big a test for them as, for us, I think a bit, we'll be reading into the game a lot more than they will. But, um, it's just preseason, isn't it? That's the way it is. Oh, the battle after season, eh? I don't buy it as hard when you, I mean, I can't, I can't imagine getting positive. I mean, um, you know, I do try and be balanced, but it's just not being that exciting week at all, as a, um, but just to round off on the, on the young boys, um, I covered this in the news, um, through the week as well. It was nice to see so many 16, 17-year-olds, waiting for the beat team, um, against White Bill under 21s, they will, and again, see the beating players get an opportunity, uh, in preseason. Now, that's just the beginning of the road. I do think, eh, we can't just overlook it. The, uh, we're going into a lot of players in, uh, the summer. We do need players to bulk out this world. That should come for their academy as well, and they should be contributing. So, this is the start of it. They do need to continue with it. Um, they, they are, I want to come here, the, the normal absenties, um, nor do John Sterling, nor James Tavernier, um, was Desos playing, actually. Desos playing, can't hold them. Desos playing. No, can't, well, so Sterling Tavernier, can't, well, that was about three. Um, obviously, Samuel was, he's not been at the same camp anyway, but every day, first three, um, um, can we work any of that at all? Or will we get the full, will we get more of the full protection and started to see if they're involved there? Even on a budget, quality is non-negotiable.

Yeah, well, thank you. Well, see, I mean, I think they'll put out a strong team. I would imagine they'll start with a strong team anyway. Obviously, these friend-owned games, they always end up with 400 reserves coming on. And the teams at the end are nothing but the teams that start. I would imagine they'll start with a quite a strong team. And I would imagine Ajax will start with a strong team. So it should be quite a good game. Hopefully, it'll be a good game. Hopefully, we do have a bit better than we've done the last time against Ajax. And there's no reason we shouldn't because Ajax are not the team that they won't even end the team that we call them. We just gave them far too much respect in my eyes then. But I think it's, I think it'll start with a full team. So we'll get a better idea of Ajax, what happened. The thing is, Colin, there's going to be players going out the door as well. It's OK, it's saying that we've got to bring in players. We have players going out the door. And unfortunately, the ones that we were sitting up on, are going out the door. Tavernier, I don't know. There's some rumors going about it. They don't want to leave the server there. So do you. I will die in this hill. As far as I'm concerned, Tavernier is ready to go. It's down in the clubs. It's Tavernier. It's soothing up in the window open from now. Look at something, I thought I'd seen that today. Yes, sure. Yeah. I'm not right. I try to tell you to tow the pod line. I'm not that kind of wither. But I will die in this hill. If not, I will hand the keys to the podcast over here, Andy. That's scary. Why would you give it to me, you old people? Oh, you've got longevity. I mean, you're young and trendy. You just have to sell the test. Things had longer to take. It's the, what is it like, you have to trade off an easy life for us to be special or something like you can't go together. You can't run as it says football podcast. If that team that's based on his rangels, or he can enjoy football podcast, if it's at rangels, because you kind of have one with the other. It's just, don't leave it with me. Yes, I'm still willing. Everybody's been telling this call when we need older people in. So, I mean, we need to read McLean, and that's, we need older players. That's what everybody's saying now. Maybe we are supporters. They weren't older. So I asked the listeners, they weren't older supporters or younger supporters. And I guarantee they were also older, because Andy did not see Brian Road up for you. So that blows him out. And when Rangers are running like this. Ever so slightly better than Barry McKay. Ever so slightly. I mean, I'll say it again. I said it last week when we had the discussion about experience. It's the age is no guarantee of experience, but youth is no guarantee of innovation. So there you go. Okay. It's the trade off of all of you. The kids have been taken back off here. And I'll see you've made some money. David, I love you. But you know, I was counting him. Mason's probably better. He is more visually pleasing on the camera. I feel you bring in more of your ship and that term. Speaking of visually pleasing. Again, I'm just segwaying everywhere. And then I welcome to the new member catalyst, who's just joined up to the YouTube members page. Not only that, it's gifted three, five, three memberships to five random listeners who's watching along in YouTube. So that means they'll get a first one for free and a membership tier. So thank you very much. Carlos, welcome to the membership tier. And that was really, really generous of you. Thank you. So I don't know how we got on a boat, like my successor there. I have really figured out where we were. We were talking about the young team, weren't we? And then David, James Tavernya. That's where we were talking about. So... Everything goes sideways when you start discussing James Tavern. Oh, fucking, oh man. I love the guys as well. But it's just how you're up and go. Because I've been made to a broken asshole only if I talk about those. So... Andy, this is the problem that we have. Not just with Avni, the wider squad. And it's heavily documented in all the papers. And I do think this has been leaked by Rangers because the prominent fan media are talking about it as well. It's trying to be one and one out. So that means to sign a new cycle, we need to move off serial vessels to bring in a new number 10. We need to move on a volume. So I can't wait. If I'm being fair, then outside looking. And this makes sense because if you look at how Rangers have ran the unfilled operations over the last couple of years, they've spent far too much money on players that can contribute. And there's no guarantee if you bring in somebody to request serial vessels, that serial vessels will go, for example. So, we can't quite afford to overspend the wage bill again because it's been far too long. Taking my sensible heart on and putting my Rangers' heart back on and raising my boot. So, what about it's your take on it? I've seen the whole thing of it day. So, I was dealing with the Kigley Harry move. And I instantly thought of Monk Ross. He... Scottish and Born the Raze Rangers fan, Mad Blue N'Os, just like I've ever been in my family. Mad Blue N'Os moved to Sotenia in Italy. And that's the local team there. He started to follow them. He's been following them ever since. And I said to him, you're going to need to take this one in the chin for us. Think of your... Remember your blue side. You can bound Kigley for the season. Unfortunately, that's the way it's going to be. You're taking one for the team here for the greater good. But unfortunately, as I said, after the game of the day, it said that they've not really hyped that move up. So, it's not going to be happening imminently. I think it's spot on. I think we do have to be smarter in our recruitment. Just as much as picking the right players at selling the right players at the right time. Which, again, I hate to say it. Can say I can hire a transfer fee spent. And he recouped us zero pounds and transfer fee for them. I know you can make the comments on all the minerals and can't go in for nothing. But they've got us so much in European, say, funds for going far in competitions. I get that, but that was poor from a transfer point of view. We can't do that. It's not sustainable. It's frankly, it was embarrassing that that happened. I think a lot of the recruitment team, our people in charge of that point, should have held their heads in shame because that was embarrassing. You've let these guys run out their contracts. That's just surely, again, it's becoming a bit of a common word to use. But I'm kind of happy. It's kind of sensible heads. And on the shoulders of Niall's Cup and the thinking at the points he said, then the fan of his rebolds minutes was spot on. Everything I wanted to hear from him, I think we really need to try our best to get players out. It's going to be difficult. You know, Davy's is your dessers. But as we've mentioned already, he's going to be the one we can sell from the attacking point of view because no team is going to take a punt on Niall because he's not played this season, essentially. So they're only going to take a punt on dessers. Maybe a llamas, but if you're going to be too stingy and how much we're going to accept for them, then that could be a whole other day of server grapes. I think it'll be difficult if we can't just admit to be eating some of these guys. Yeah, there's not much brighter points than the transfer front either, unfortunately, to keep the said that's going. I did get the idea that you won't make a profit. Everybody and sometimes you do need career losses. But at the same time, I'm not, again, this is a hypothetical. I'm not seeing any player that's taking that. He was in. But if they're in good money, the angels and the authors are getting elsewhere. If you're financially driven, why would you move? I mean, it's a bubble ball, this gentleman. If you know that, it's about a week. And yes, you're going to get guaranteed football elsewhere. I don't know. If you're not following them, if you're no in love with what you do, I mean, I would jump ship for no more money or if my work wanted to point me, but someday I was 40 to give me less money. I'd probably say whatever's getting the most money. If I'm not motivated in terms of achievement and football, David, do you have any take on this one out, one in one out system? Well, we've brought in a goalkeeper and we've got rid of a goalkeeper as far as in all. McCrory is our way to Comannock, which I think is a good move for him. I think it's a good move for Comannock as well. I think Comannock are going to be one of the teams to be in a common season. And obviously they've got a new training complex, I believe, and they're going to have a new pitch, a grass pitch soon. So they seem to be doing very well. I think it's good to go that way, but sometimes you've got to invest, call on to you've got to take a chance. And as a player comes out for a good price, and we haven't moved up where on then, I think we've got to take a chance. And you can't always just say, well, we've got to play safe. Sometimes you're not good. I mean, otherwise, I've been getting wetters from the pension funds, the last while, how much risk do you want us to take with your money? Well, I don't really want you to take any arrests with my money, but that's the reason. Could you imagine if they put that out to the season, take a hold of the bibrops, they're bored, how much arrest do you want to take with your money? There's a five-year extension that will end up, that will probably be a game over. Call it a day. Hopefully, the news that Scott Wright is going to shuffle Wednesday, hopefully that goes through. There's, I say, McCrory's away, so maybe it's time to, I mean, the transfer window is really just behind the start call, and you know, there's a lot of teams still not moved into it yet. And once you can start buying players and selling players, then something a domino effect comes in, and teams are looking for other players, they're looking to get rid of other players, and hopefully then, then something will happen, because the way it is just how we need to, I mean, we've not really want to place anybody yet, there's just left, there's a golden, is he going or is he not going? Tab, is he going or is he not going? That's, the way it looks just now, then we're going to be, he said, you know, I mean, the season's only, what is it, four weeks away now? So it was when we're going to, we're going to be stuck with these players anyway, so they'll probably be the backbone of the team again, so that's the way it looks just now. The year is twenty, thirty-nine, Rangers need to go in a cup semi-final, and on come straight right, it's running hard, and he's never leaving, it's just something we're going to have to get you to think. Just a shout out to JD, who also gifted five members, so JD's been a long-term member and supporter of the Gallant Fuse would really do appreciate that mate, so hopefully I went through and go and allocated to five random westerners. I do think you need to call me and the YouTube chat to be gifted a membership, and I'll be left in some tonight as well. So to the catalyst to join up tonight and to JD, thank you ever so much, it's really generous of you. So, JD, what's gotten me happy? Obviously, we have been in and out of the place areas, how it looks, depending on how much we're paying strangers off. This season, it's a great way to announce we'll be back and doing the B team coverage as well, and I just need confirmation that I'll be doing the women's coverage as well. Again, I do get a buzzer, getting a Swedish report on every weekend, it's through the support and the podcast that everybody that's watching along western, we get these opportunities. You're popping your journalistic cherry, basically, you will be representing the Gallant Fuse at Rangers VI Access Saturday, so on Australia, I want to tell you how much you're shaking yourself. Oh, I'm not really, I'm not, there's a part of me. I used to, but I remember I used to get terrified when I was making these podcasts and making their own jobs, absolutely. So, I never before, I sort of, I was about 1.00 a.m. but now there's no part of my call, and I'll just go there and do my thing, and hopefully I will be able to keep people up to date that can't get to see the game. I believe it's on Rangers TV, so hopefully the most people can watch it. It's also on Zego sports for people that have, they can jump out the country for a wee while, with a revelation. I thought you were just promoting a dodgy fire, stick with it for a second, I thought, right, that's the last thing, how we do that, how we do that. Some people seem to be able to move countries very, very quickly. I think it's quite quicker than the John Boygetts that they come about just now, but I don't know, I'm looking forward to it, looking forward to the game. Yeah, I don't know, yeah, as I know there were 600 Rangers supporters, and I've had a few people saying that they're going, and just hoping they'll get a ticket there, so they'll probably be more than 600 Rangers supporters, and we'll see what happens. Now, as I said, I was in amongst the IAC supporters when I was buying my tickets, so I also bought a ticket for the game, so I don't see any problems that way. I think IAC supporters, Rangers supporters get along quite good together, so I don't see any problems that way, and the park's absolutely beautiful, I've seen that when I was there, it says, I mean, if you look at Dundee, a professional club in the state of that park, and then you go there, and park's gone that are getting used every Saturday for the youth games twice a day, so there's two games on it, and then in a Sunday, there's mostly two games on it, two senior games on it, so that's four times at a weekend the parks are getting used, and they're absolutely gorgeous. They've gone just parks, and you wonder why a professional club can't have a nice park. The park's lovely, I've seen it, they had a robot out in a cutting the grass, so that's how flat and beautiful it was. Can you please say it enough? Probably, probably need a more a strike, and we need a good swim than it ever happened. And it's a good place, that's what I'm saying, I've seen it forward. Andy, I'm also a better veteran in the first travels now. If you've spoken to the Rangers manager a couple of times, don't think we've been interested in what's been in the hobby. I achieved my life goal of speaking to Rabi Matondo on press, yes, you could have just labeled that. I spoke to God, that's my highly earth press so far. That's a complete lie, I can't say that I picked one over the other. Every time I do press access games, it's always a privilege, speaking to anybody associated with the club, and playing staff or coaching staff, it's always a brilliant experience, because I love the game, and that's just one of those things. Never take it for granted. I have to say I'm quite jealous, I will be going to New Edmondson House to watch the game of my cousin, but I isn't quite being in Holland to see the game itself. So Andy, as a veteran in the press area, what should DVT ask for the club on when he gets a chance? No hold barge. It's a tough one. Sorry any comments, I suggest you, yeah, that's your problem, we can't move. I think you'd be sitting for a while, David, if that was the case, I think you'd be rattle off a few things, it doesn't look a bit odd. I would say, are you happy with the restrictions being put on you from a transfer point of view? I think that's to be pushy, I don't think I would ever draw back any question at the gaffer, I mean it's, as an art of getting the question you want, we're seeing it in the right way, so you don't come off like a bit of an arse. We've been in press conferences calling where we've sat alongside some people that we maybe don't like, and they've had some pretty shit questions. You don't want to name them, I will, P.O.D. or uncles, I have sort of uncles, and if this area is, I will name them. Yeah, that's exactly why you're leading this podcast, you can't handle what to me, because I can't do those lines of a dial, I can't rattle all of that. Yeah, but now, as I will dine my whole way, many things, and that statement will be the same. So gentlemen, I think we will wrap up about our very good work to David, meeting Philippe on Saturday, and a massive thank you to everybody for tuning in and listening. I've just crafted another five memberships there for anybody who doesn't have it, or who doesn't bother members, so if you are listening after the fact, or in Spotify, Apple, Anchor, Patreon, you're like, all these YouTube guys getting there, the freebies, there is a seven day free title on Patreon as well, so go in and sign up for there for seven days, if you don't like it, then yeah, you can benefit. Gentlemen, I'm going to ask you for a good bye and after that chin, so David, bid your farewell and tell me who is winning the European Championships on Sunday. Oh, well, I'm afraid, yeah, the obvious way had far given England a penalty yesterday, which was absolutely astonishing, absolutely ridiculous. So I just think it's a bit fixed, to be honest with you, I think it was that way. I hope Spain, I hope Spain won't think of it not just because I don't like England, but because they've been the best team in the tournament, right through, they've got some great players, and I don't think, I think if we're in any extra time yesterday, I think Holland would have won it, I think Holland were getting better and better as a game went on, unfortunately they just forced a go in the last minute, so I will say Spain, and I'm going to ask the manager if he works his version of the quest of pop that is Rangers at the moment. Is that a good question for him? That's fine because this has been through the Rangers media team, this is through the Dutch, so if they get annoyed, we probably won't see them again, but I've always been having your own, David, I'm always up for you, I'm a friend. And thank you for running off the board, and playing a wee bit of a youthful insight, giving me a farewell and your prediction for some day who's winning the Euros. Thanks for having me on again, good to always enjoy the Thursday live shows, I hate to go against what a lot of people have been saying, but I have a billing, I'm sure, on my wall where I don't know if you can see it, I was in Spain, and I went, I can't come back for Spain without a billing on me on the top, I love Jude, I think Jude is brilliant, I think he, he didn't have a great game, as we said against the Netherlands, but you know England, they did what the old cliche states, true champions win, but they're not playing good, and it'll be a sad couple of every year until the end of time, if England won, because we'll never hear the end of it, but you know, you give credit rates to if they end up winning it, then they whole, they came from behind in a lot of games, so it's just going to be one of those things, I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I think they might just get over the line, yeah, that is what it is, I'm not stapling my calls to mask, I don't have a syndrome just flying around a lot, but I think England might pull it off. For me, I say this in a year old prediction is boy that we're done with the Fermil Week boys as well, I've never been anybody but England and I've never been there, you know, I really get behind all nations, England playing football as if I've went to Ghana, having that fact show to me, just another country, I don't really care, but I did predict that they were the winner, I do think they will. It's been another form of team, but I think anything goes in the final, England are getting the results, we know going well, and only 25%, you know, that's not the great we made, but as ever, thank you all for listening, again, we will be back with you tomorrow morning on the news, and again, back on Sunday so until then, take care.
