Laudrup1984

From watching the game today and reading through the referee thread most seem to be in agreement that the referee was a disgrace and that Motherwell could easily have had about 4 players sent off. The treatment Morelos is now receiving week in week out, typified by today and the challenges from some of the Motherwell players IMO went beyond expecting our players to 'man up'. Football is a physical game. There's nothing wrong with being physical and I don't actually blame Motherwell and their players. They're effectively doing everything they can to win a game of football. However the referee has a job to protect the safety of the players. It's a miracle we've not lost a player to a long term injury this season IMO. Admittedly in this instance Bruno is of course hypocritical as he himself should have been sent off. I think he has a point though which will probably be lost. There's a difference between being physical and just savagely taking out players. I guess his display and conduct combined with the teams collective performance make it sound like sour grapes.

He's been living off a 45 minute performance at Fir Park and a nutmeg and run on his debut, also at Fir Park. I don't quite understand him. He scored a shit load of goals down in England so I don't understand how poor he is with his shooting and final ball. Every shot straight at the keeper with no pace on it at all. If he's not creating or finishing, which is very rare, he offers absolutely nothing.

It's always difficult to give a fair and balanced opinion in the immediate aftermath of such a devastating loss with so many emotions running through your head. Anger, pain, frustration, sadness, you sometimes give opinions that can be given in haste. We have a better squad than we did last season. We have better players in key positions than we did last season. We have a goalscorer albeit he's gone dry the last few games and for the most part Pedro has recruited well. We've had some bad decisions against us all season (NOT an excuse), we've missed so many glaring chances and we've conceded so many sloppy goals. We also seem to be on the verge of doing something only for us to fuck it up. When it comes to key moments, big moments in games we always seem to come second best. That's not good enough. The line between success and failure is so small and we can never seem to catch a break. We have no divine right to win any game regardless of our illustrious history however to fail to win 3 games in a row, getting close to a 1 year stretch is unacceptable no matter what way you dress it up. Pedro has been hampered during his reign IMO and has had to take over in trying circumstances but the reality is we have failed and are continuing to fail. We cannot accept mediocrity. We simply can't although it seems some have. He has now been in charge during some absolute bombscare results and performances which are just not good enough. For Rangers not to win 3 games in a row is pretty much an instant sacking offence. It's a results business and the results are pretty damning. The mental thing in all of this is that we COULD actually still have a real run at the title. I appreciate that sounds utter madness. I don't think there is this incredible gulf in Scottish football and I do actually think, possibly with a better manager we could improve. Some team selections and some players are letting Pedro down. Pedro's loyalty to Windass for example really isn't helping his cause and whilst I think the criticism Pena has received on the whole, has been over the top given he has come all the way over from Mexico, a number of his performances have been a massive let down. Also, even though the big signings like Dorrans, Alves, Jack etc have enhanced the team they have sadly let Pedro and us down when it really mattered in big games this season. Fuck knows what will happen next but regardless we must win this midweek. That's all that matters. Pretty deflated right now. Really didn't see this coming if i'm honest.................

The below tweet says a lot but that's not even the whole story. He got so many other things wrong too on top of this, multiple decisions wrong, sending the managers off for nothing, and how the fuck did he not stop the game for Cardoso. Worse performance I have ever seen I think. To be clear this is absolutely no excuse for our loss. We failed again and only have ourselves to blame. The ref however was diabolical and should be banned. Should never officiate again.

Still plenty life in this. Not too worried. Yet anyway. Need to fucking take our chances though..........

Think that's 3 shots Windass has had and he's hit it straight at the keeper every time! Oh FUCK!

From BBC Live text! Fucking hell! posted at14:49 Rangers 0-0 Motherwell Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha is having a wee hissy fit on the touchline as Alfredo Morelos goes down theatrically after being palmed in the face by Peter Hartley. Morelos gets involved, aiming a verbal volley at the assistant referee who ignored his pleas for a foul. Posted at23mins Rangers 0-0 Motherwell Alfredo Morelos is crying for another foul as he looks to break through the centre of the Well defence. The striker flattened by Charles Dunne, but it seems that the defender got a touch on the ball. Meanwhile, Morelos has fallen out of the game after a heavy but fair tackle by Charles Dunne.

OH MY FUCKING DAYS! SAVES OF THE SEASON!

How has the linesman not seen that! And the ref only begrudgingly seemed to give it! Almost speechless at this officiating!

No matter what Morelos does for the rest of his Rangers career he will have this ridiculously unfair reputation. Effectively, managers, players and pundits have given officials the freedom to allow players to boot the fuck out of El Buffalo week in week out. Fucking disgraceful...........

Okay let me get this straight. They claim Morelos has gone down too easy several times and it's all his fault, Hartley now goes down easy and now low and behold it's STILL Morelos fault. Fuck off cunts. PUNDITS, AND OFFICIALS ARE DIRTY DIRTY BASTARDS

REF IS FUCKING CUNT!

Morelos is an absolute handful. Love it. Unlucky............

These few incidents seem to have woken us up a little.........

Hit Cardoso in the face. Fine. Hit Morelos in the face. Fine. Remonstrate after being hit in the face. Twice. Unacceptable? Fuck off you pair of stupid cunts!
