To go 3-1 up and lose 4-3 is such an Aberdeen thing to do.

I don't know what makes me more sad. The fact that when we went 3-1 up that I said to my dad that they'd win 4-3 with the winner being hit by Samaras or Mulgrew in injury time, or the fact that I expected it and am such a pessimist when it comes to my football team.

Why would anyone dream of playing for Rangers in the 4th tier of Scottish football if they didn't grow up in Glasgow and support Rangers from a young age?

He's quite clearly there for the money - don't know why the guy is trying to ruin his career at Rangers for no real reason.

Same guy that got Craig Whyte to reveal alot of information in the past. Thought he'd fucked it when he called Super Ally a cheeky little bastard.

Gaha, that's hilarious. It's obvious that a fair few members of their squad are only there for the money though.

The majority of footballers are only where they are because of the money. Hardly surprising.

Yeah, but you have to find players who really care about money to convince them to drop down to the Scottish Third Division. Lets no pretend the situation at Rangers is the same as elsewhere.

It's not that different. Look at all the players who have moved to China and the Middle-East.

To be fair, a lot of them are of a much higher quality than Rangers can dream of getting at the moment as well.

So it stands to reason they'd be on more money.

But I dont see anyone in Europe that would pay Dario Conca 140,000 odd pounds a week.

I'm not really sure what point you're getting to? Although that might be because I don't know who Dario Conca is

(which I guess might be the point)

Presumably there's no-one else in Europe willing to pay whoever as much as Rangers are willing to pay him.

Because he's really not a great footballer. Rangers are haemorrhaging £1M per month here. See if they had any common sense, they'd have signed a bunch of gritty players who know how to get out the Third Division to help them this season. Next season, get a bunch of players who know how to get out the Second Divison, and repeat. They'd still be losing a shit-ton of money but they'd have players who would try and not SPL-has-beens like Kevin Kyle and Jon Daly (what a first signing when your transfer embargo finishes...) who really couldn't give a fuck and are just happy to be getting paid.

He played two games for us this season, both coming off the bench to little effect.

Another young player ruined by going to a big club to line his pockets before he'd finished developing.

I can't imagine we paid him much.

You'd have paid him more than Motherwell which is why he signed. Clearly not for footballing reasons.

I was really excited when he joined us, since he did well for the Motherwell youth team, but he did fuck all. It was never confirmed on our OS that he left us to go back to Celtic - that shows how completely irrelevant he was.

He suffered a pretty heavy injury just after signing with us, so was never able to develop. He claims the pics are photo shopped.

Myself and two mates (including young Smurph up there) met him before getting the bus to Cowdenbeath yesterday, we were wrapped up for the game and he was stoating about with no jacket and his baseball cap backwards like some wannabe rapper.

It was about half 5 and he was absolutely steaming.

In other news, TOP OF THE LEAGUE.

It was quite hilarious. He was drinking a can of coke but I'm pretty confident he wasn't drinking that ten minutes before we saw him. He's completely fucked up his footballing career and he looks like a complete dickhead.

I can't believe how this season's been. I really hope we don't fuck it up now.
