Ger-seys: A short history of Rangers’ kits from 1987 onwards – Part Three: The in-house years leftmidfielder.wordpress.com/2018/04/12/ger…

@EsotericCD I read that as TRON, and then got very confused.

I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you try to convince me that TROY (2004) was anything except pure garbage I will kill you all Mattis-style.

@slothanova Hyphenate? Is that an African breed?

@leftmidfielder no i mean he’s a hyphenate with my last name

he doesn’t have a government name he is a sovereign citizen

@slothanova Your last name is Snellsworth?

also it’s cornell baby bear snellsworth-[my last name]

Just saw a Scottish tenth-tier side use the phrase ‘goal contributions’ in a signing announcement. Game’s over.

Why is birdsong so pleasant?

Making a ‘it’s great being Scottish’ film featuring the guy (in)famous for delivering the “it’s shite being Scottish” monologue was a nice touch.

Well, there we go. Three years on and Tavernier has officially become bigger than the club.

What even is this injection?

Really not following the timeline of Tavernier’s account to be honest.

@garryboy11 The timing of the injection is what I’m struggling with.

@leftmidfielder Went from going in a huff on Sunday, deciding to get injection on Tuesday - which would rule him out last two games altogether. To going in a huff for being a sub. He’s not exactly blameless.

I am beyond trying to rationalise what’s happening at Rangers at the moment. Just pure Serie B chaos.

Pretty sure that new Rangers shirt was an Ipswich shirt in the last two seasons.

Lasted about ten minutes of watching Tavernier play football. Done.

That Shankland finish was excellent, by the way.

@TheRosie We could have signed him multiple times over the last 5-6 years, but we apparently preferred to sign all of those other halfwits. It actually makes me angry.

Why the fuck did we not sign Shankland?? Too many fuds saying 'he's no' Rainjurs quali'y'. Nope, he's much better than that.

4 matchdays left of La Liga season and teams in places 6 to 20 are technically still in a relegation fight. That seems slightly odd.

@patdon801 @footballkitpod @AYearWithJurgen Also had the same sponsor in 2013-14, even if it was different brands of the same company.

@footballkitpod @AYearWithJurgen They had the same sponsor a few times.

PSG v Bayern tonight While Uefa’s late 1990s/early 2000s rules meant they couldn’t both have Opel on their shirts when they met in the CL back then, they did in pre-season completions that also featured Milan What are your favourite ‘double-up sponsor’ games?

@footballkitpod Not entirely the same, but I liked that example Denis (I think) provided of Spurs and PSG both having Thomson on their shirts, but it being completely different companies.

Nobody will ever really agree on this, but I personally don’t think Tavernier has been a very good player for Rangers over the piece. And that’s the least hyperbolic thing I could say about him. I’ll be surprised if we’re not a better team by far next season onwards.

The Wenger Law and the SFA club licensing discourses underline the fact that people will happily disregard rules and guidelines if they don’t suit them.
