Leeds_Bear 8,062 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Anyone else think the players downed tools in the semi final because getting to the cup final would've extended their season and meant even shorter Holiday? Wouldn't put it past this group of charlatans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negri's lovechild 13,591 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 If you're going to chuck a semi final regardless of the opponents then why bother playing football? I don't like most of the squad but its a case of not good enough rather than chucking it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as our players have performed throughout this season, I don't think any of them would deliberately "down tools" and forfeit a Scottish Cup final just to try and get another week's holiday. I can see the temptation in heads going down after conceding early, but to try and tie that in with wanting more time off is a bit far fetched.

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I doubt it, I still think they're wanting to win things - they're just not good enough mentally. Not Rangers players by any stretch of the imagination Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely is. You're suggesting a squad of Rangers players met in secret and agreed en masse to throw a cup semi-final against our greatest rivals, just to get an extra week off. It's fucking mental, mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not that shite that they couldn't get within 2 yards of a Celtic player or passed the ball 3 times in the opening 10 minutes, 2 being from kick off.

OnwardsandUpwards 834 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Not in the slightest.To down tools would mean actually having picked them up at some point in the first place.The majority of these charlatans haven't even found the keys to go into the garage to open the toolbox this season!No conspiracy just spineless journeymen for the most part.

soulboy 2,513 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Last season Scottish cup winners went in qualifying round 2 which meant extra 2 weeks before season started so is it not the same this year ?

Guess I could've elbaorated my points little better as people think I mean players literally met up. My point was around their heads not being in the game because they were unhappy with holiday situation, it must've played on their minds given this team has zero mental strength.

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I've become immune to the utter nonsense that gets posted on here. Between the question of whether Halliday should quit because he's shite and this, the suggestion that the players threw Sunday's semi-final in favour of a longer summer holiday, it's fucking mental. Surreal, actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,430 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I don't think they downed tools because getting to the final would mean less of a holiday but it's not out of the question that they would down tools if they are not happy with certain things. I don't think it was though, they were just shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
