blueballss 2,968 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Trying to look at this in cold light of day, saw it against Utd in 90s, against mhanks 80s, winning league long beofre cup final and no being able to get that sharpness but honestly feel we were at a disadvantage with no competitive game for the period of 3 weeks. Sometmes i thought the guys were running in treacle, quitest game big Lee had in while, dinnae get me started on that defence of ours, you could see those fuckers had match sharpness ps i blame the SFA feckin play offs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCRobertson 11,768 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Its more than 20 days I think. Last competitive game was April 17, something like 34 days. Because the remaining league games weren't competitive as we'd already won the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueballss 2,968 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 never thought of that, that is the basis of the previous defeats i mentioned as well...doh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,274 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Absolutely crucial IMO. Numerous instances in the past show how much a disadvantage not playing regular competitive football has on performance. It showed in our performance today, we were so off the pace it wasn't true.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It's been hard as a fan to adjust to still be in the season when the league campaign was over nearly three weeks ago. I think the players may well have found this a hard one as well in a playing sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Took us half an hour to get going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 No excuses, it's a mindset and they have been in holiday mode since beating the tims. We were moaning we wanted a rest and laughing at Hibs because they would have more games, now the lack of games is being peddled as our excuse. Not necessarily directed at the OP but seen numerous people say it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,055 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It didn't help and it showed in our passing.....but it's to easy to make that as an excuse, we were poor allday and didn't deserve to win. Hopefully it's a learning curve and only serves to prove we are still a good bit away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready1873 3,869 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 6 minutes ago, Badger said: Took us half an hour to get going. Yep. This was true today. Fuck all Warburton could do about the situation. We move on, and under his guidance, we will grow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,481 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 what about the defending at corners, im sure we've been making that mistake all season, it hasnt just happened since april tav hasnt been a defender all season, kiernan the same, we havent had decent cover for our starting 11, nothing has changed since last september, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
