After two games! The quickest sacking in Bundesliga history. It doesn't seem to matter what league you're talking about these days, the game is crazy wherever you are.

To sack someone after two league games is ridiculous. Also York sacking their manager after one win and three draws from their first four games. Unbelievable!
I did wonder why he took that particular job . He must have been super confident after the unprecedent success Xabi Alonso had with Leverkusen , then the main protagonists in the success were all sold off.
A poisoned chalice indeed.
Jimmy, serious question, what your thoughts on Russell Martin?Quote:

He's on gardening leave. There's not much I wouldn't give to be in his position. £90k a week until they reach a multi-million pound settlement.
What does someone's political views have to do with their ability to run a football team? Bill Shankly was a life-long socialist. He did alright.Quote:

I doubt he would have survived had Celtic put 3 or 4 on us on Sunday . I watched it through my fingers . Thankfully Celtic are also dreadful right at this moment . Rodgers was honest for once in his life and admitted there aren't many more tunes to come out of his present squad .
Not all Rangers supporters are highly educated sophisticated gentlemen , I have done vegan , find vegetarian easier.......
From someone who has shaved his napper for years ,admire his mop.:hehe:
The Glasgow crowd can be a difficult one , the most vocal aren't always the heart and sole of the club ( look at Cardiff's message boards) they are just the most vocal .
Someone put a banner out on Sunday stating " get him gone before all the seats are empty " I thought putting that on the TV was a bit harsh , but thats the Glasgow pressure cooker , there is an element always baying for blood .
Time will tell if he has what it takes to survive. I'm in the juries out brigade.
I am back in Scotland 3 hours North of Glasgow ,so Rangers are going through a terrible time when I can go and see them , Cardiff however waited 40 years for my exit and are playing some lovely football with a team full of academy players , early days , but my £100 at 8-1 EW looks value :hehe:
I still have to come to Cardiff so will catch a game then.
Perhaps I should change my name to Jimmy The Jonah.....
He has bought a place in Glasgow , is at most of the Rangers games.Quote:

I've said before to you how much I love Glasgow, great city and people. All the most vocal, deluded, drivel ridden old firm fans funnily enough seem to hail from somewhere else.
The match on Sunday was dreadful to watch.
You still doing the Munros Jim?
Watching Man United and Rangers.Quote:

Seems very unfair. Three games. Won one (away in the cup) drew one and lost one. Three of the next four at home so they could have had a decent start to the season.
Glasgow is a mental place , we went to see Simple minds a couple of weeks ago in Bellahouston Park , some of the sights (people) were something to behold. Been to see Rangers a couple of times , once again its an experience .Quote:

After living in Cardiff and disliking the premier league glory hunters , I can understand the dislike of Rangers and Celtic from the people who watch their local team .
The merchant City and the West end are more to my taste these days , but you cant help but admire the rawness of some of its citizens.
Went to the fringe last week , Edinburgh is like the snobby distant relation who live in a castle to Glasgow people . It has a permanent brilliant atmosphere in the centre , the visitors from every walk and every part of life . I have stayed there a few times recently and always enjoyed it , even although it is set up to empty your pockets. :-)
My local team is Inverurie (45 minutes way) where we were refused entry on Saturday because they only take cash at the turnstiles . The nearest cash point was closed so we abandoned ship . The locos have had a bad start to the season Jimmy The Jonah is at work . We watched them in a pre season friendly where you could buy tickets in the town .:hehe:
We prefer walking when the hills are a bit quieter and there is a danger that each walk may well be your last ,although we got over to Skye and did some walking recently , so getting ready for the winter challenges .. Cairngorms are 20 minutes from here . Nearest shop is 20 minutes from us , but its a beautiful 20 minutes .
Have you moved back permanently Jimmy?Quote:
