Stop moaning, for f*ck sake.

The "better half" @josefeen(no way it's only half, she's at least three quarters to seven eighths of the quantity of worth and goodness in our relationship) has shared some drawings based around her recently turning 50.

It frustrates me when a manager says players aren't performing and they're accused of "throwing them under the bus" but players rarely get criticised or questioned when they blame a manager for things not going well.

Especially these days when they have everything they need.

War in Middle Earth on the Amstrad is probably the biggest reason I'm utterly addicted to Total War: Warhammer 3 these days.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@rustytweeet If Gilmour misses out I suspect it'll be Lennon Miller who replaces him.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@RickyBobby1872 @TremendoHendo72 And any time we've been the ones pointing it out, that narrative becomes "typical Rangers, always moaning" because the only people who will truly back us publicly are ourselves.

If I thought it could do anything, I'd be all for statements etc. but I don't see any good outcomes.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@RickyBobby1872 @TremendoHendo72 Does it make any difference if that's done publicly or in some sort of meeting with the ruling bodies though?

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@RickyBobby1872 @TremendoHendo72 We've made statements about the refereeing a number of times in recent seasons - nothing has changed.

We had a number of clubs looking for change and reviews - no difference made.

I can see why we might just be focusing on our own issues right now.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@RickyBobby1872 @TremendoHendo72 I think a lot of our approach right now is down to the fact that we know there's no way to force that change.

We'd need people to sack themselves - it's not going to happen.

And the second it's led by Rangers is the second people will dismiss it, as has happened before.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@gspy82 They're almost all great in West Wing, mind you.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

Who do you think deserved more acclaim for a performance in TV or movie than they received, be it due to the show going under the radar or others taking the spotlight?

I reckon April Bowlby was outstanding as Rita Farr in Doom Patrol. They're all good but she was exceptional.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@CambridgeBear Ashamed to say I've never watched that!

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@TremendoHendo72 Is Shanks some sort of indication of how you'd play?

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@Bobmcphail1872 I'll be pretty surprised if Collum doesn't survive it, personally.

Don't see anything changing in the short term, because the people who need to be punted are the very people in the positions of power. They don't give a f*ck about their reputations.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@AtholBrose Curtis coming in still only leaves us with 3 wide players - Gassama, Curtis, Antman - and none of them are left footed.

Definitely space for one more at least.

I'd have Congreve ahead of Fatah, personally.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

There's a number of players being discussed as potential signings who were playing in our league last season, and one I don't see mentioned too often who I think is a cracking prospect is Cameron Congreve who was on loan at Dundee.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

My latest 'old guy hating new stuff' thing is the way headlines are written for videos etc.

"Such and such REVEALS..."

"Röhl's FULL message..."

"It was TERRIFYING..."

Can't help but read them in some w*nky, fake accent you'd hear in the more affluent areas of a city.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@LoyalFinlayson I think King will need to prove himself elsewhere, and maybe he gets a chance with us in the future.

Can see him ending up at Killie next season.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

If he wasn't our player, I reckon many of our fans would be suggesting we should sign him.

A loan that's absolutely worked, and hopefully he comes into next season a better player.

[Premier Sports @PremSportsTV]

Findlay Curtis is in flying form for @KilmarnockFC right now! 🔥

The teenager finds the net after superb play by Nicky Cleșcenco and Dominic Thompson 👏

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@MartinSuth1990 @TremendoHendo72 Maybe, but it's worth noting that when Gerrard spoke more as a fan than a manager, which he did often in those first two seasons, it didn't really work. Players struggle with that.

He also had a far more experienced squad than we currently have which makes a big difference.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@Paul22977666 If they're ready for it, absolutely.

I hoped Josh Gentles would do well at Raith but it's been a bit of a stalled season for him. I'm not sure how many we have at the level of Curtis right now.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@servingaservant I think he'll be a squad player for us next season. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he plays some games at right back, which he's played a couple of times on loan too.

He's shown he can handle first team football in our league. Needs to develop with us now in my opinion.

[Alexander Staff @strider80]

@C_Findog @TremendoHendo72 I think there was improvement in our performances and chance creation from when he first came in to now.

The squad being as it is, we almost had to choose between clean sheets or making a lot of chances. We weren't strong enough to be a great, balanced team.
