They sold their best player, Bassey, and Kamara said publicly he thought rangers should be pushing on and building around him rather than cashing in. Michael Beale who came in never picked him.

He accused a Prague player of racial abuse which was initially disregarded. Only when Kamara got sent off in the return fixture for tw*tting same player did Rangers support him. The Pragueplayer got a 10 match ban. Kamara was supported at the next Old Firm game by both sets of players clapping him on the field.

Positionally, he played right middle in a 4-3-3, so he was more defensive. Rangers under Beale played a very slow build up looking to thread through to a typical CF. Kemal Roofe or Morelos. Morelos was bonkers and Roofe was, well, Roofe. That said, Beale won the league, so he must have been doing something right, but his football wasn’t exciting.

Kamara was always a smooth player with good positioning and not afraid to stick a foot in.
Thanks for all that OB, I remember the racist abuse case, but didn’t realise it was Kamara.

As MC says, their loss is our gain 👍

Reading both the above is very encouraging all round.

He'll be loving it at Elland Rd, right age, bang on price looking like a bargain, good temperament, hopefully not a moaner, definitely doesn't look like a shirker. I'm enjoying watching him, some of you should try that, even when you're at the game live, pick a player you're interested in and don't follow the action, follow him, even if he goes tert bog, you'll be surprised by just how much more interesting a game is, we've a good few worth tracking atm on and off the ball to see their overall effort and contribution, or lack of, and where they could be putting in more of a shift, either helping a team mate out which would contribute to them looking bad, or just lacking in effort all round.

Yeah, I guessed you’d got caught up in it. The lad who stands next to me said it was murder outside trying to get in.

Had a bit of a problem with my ST too, worked eventually but not as efficiently as usual.

We got in the ground about 7.05pm, I was down at the front of the kop, no sign of Heidi, Sue or your good self. Heidi was late arriving, apparently. My pal Steve just made kick-off.

Odd I didn’t see you then, as I was there around that time.

Anyway, hopefully catch up on Saturday 👍

I just don't expect to thrash every team in the bottom third of the table. They will want to beat us and try every trick in the book whilst fighting relegation. No game is easy....

I have a minor dental operation on Saturday at 9.05am in Hull, of all places, hopefully I'll be back in time to pick up the coach in Driffield.

Calm as a cucumber. He's looking every bit the part and is starting to show some creativity to his tenacity.

The ref was so poor last night I was surprised he didn't give that tackle as a foul, especially considering their player stayed down clutching his leg like he'd cut him in half with a chain-saw.
Excellent tackle, excellent pass, excellent goal.

I was surprised, too, as he was giving free-kicks for nothing.
