@KThomsonAcademy Why anyone would look down their nose at a Scottish ex-player who has played at the highest level, has actively grafted to build a coaching career at youth level and has in-depth knowledge of young players across the country is baffling.

You should be an obvious candidate.

@ibroxrocks Has Thelwell stolen his boy’s laptop?

[William Shand @WShand87]

@juasanalghaib And the technique - the technique, Fletch! It’s outrageous! And by the way, it’s not easy - he’s made it look easy, but It’s a BEAUTIFUL finish in off the post.

@BigGreegsy1 @Chris_Jack89 @RangersReview55 It’s not a dead rubber to Rohl. He’s fighting for his future with the board and needs to put out the team with the best possible chance of winning.

He owes the current playing squad nothing as they’ve let him, the fans and the club down.

Tav could have came on later.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@ibroxrocks 100% backing Rohl on this.

If Tavernier spat the dummy because he wasn’t starting and decided he didn’t want to come off the bench, that’s on him.

I’m sure he would have been brought on later to a good ovation, but seemingly that’s not enough.

Rangers FC not Tavernier FC.

@IainWATP I’ll generally aim to go to every game but if the season has petered out I’ll miss a game like tonight if it’s inconvenient to change plans.

Tonight I could have made it if I moved some family stuff around and definitely would have done so if we were still in the race.

@SkytelWrestling Toni Storm
Swerve Strickland
Kyle Fletcher

You could make a case for Mariah May but more and more it seems like she was “right time, right place” and simply benefited from Toni’s star power.

@BustedOpenRadio @The_MJF @bullyray5150 @davidlagreca1 @KennyOmegamanX This is like someone who makes balloon animals telling Michelangelo how to improve his sculptures.

@NBA__Courtside Book it.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@BrettSiegelNBA Take say their pick.

@BladeCunningham 3 of the last 5 champs have been Milwaukee, Denver and OKC.

Each team’s main star was drafted 15th, 41st and 11th.

This proposal doesn’t punish small teams or teams that are bad. It punishes teams that are run badly. Good.

There should be consequences for ineptitude.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@KevinOConnor @YahooSports Great article and I agree this would be an excellent fix, which nicely balances punishing ineptitude with still giving bad teams hope.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@Utdwavee He wasn’t even the best player in the western conference during his career.

Tim Duncan says hello.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@BleacherReport @KyleMalzhan Damn, Bill Simmons has got game.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@Kankagroup Only goals I can remember coming close in terms of noise was Kamara vs Leipzig and Edu in the last minute vs Celtic.

Still, this beat them out. The sheer “what the fuck did I just see?!” was unmatched. Can’t believe we conspired to make it meaningless.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@__YC9__ It’s a really frustrating one as he clearly has technical quality (his deliveries in the last few games for Chermiti’s goals) and he rarely loses the ball (in contrast to Gassama when he came on).

But he just doesn’t ever take risks. He seems capable of so much more.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@WesterosCentral If you're wanting a deep run in a tourney he can't be one of your seven guys. He just can't.

I think you have to trade him. Daeron and two marriage proposals for Raymun Fossoway. Who hangs up first?

[William Shand @WShand87]

@FilmUpdates Totally deserved.

Legitimately the best acting performance I’ve seen since DDL in There Will Be Blood. It’s a crime he’s not been nominated for an Oscar.

[William Shand @WShand87]

@WesterosCentral Team Aerion will be getting fined for tanking.

Between Daeron sitting out the fighting for load management and the three Kingsguard who wouldn’t even try and hurt Baelor, it’s clear they weren’t trying to win.
