A.T.G 10,771 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Only way is up, can't get any worse that's for sure. 3rd with our worst top flight squad in history. We will get there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,260 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The only thing I can say is that it's good that we are feeling humiliated because that shows we are still maintaining our previous standards. What would be worse was if we felt that this season was ok and is a work in progress which you can be damn sure Warburton would have been spouting right now. We will get back to the top but it will take time unless someone is going to invest in the club but the Scottish game is dead in the water so it's not going to happen. It's through hard work, blood, sweat and tears that we'll have to claw back next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been downhill since the League 1 season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The OP is right, it is this one. We have a team who have nothing about them against proper opposition, not a thing. We have lost so much since we've been away from the big time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEE 4,880 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 In the context of the leagues Hearts were better in the Championship than the papes are now. We got to the playoff final and got cuffed - I awaited the next season optimisticly. This season; we came third behind a good Celt*c team and an average Aberdeen team. Next season? Fuck knows.

BEE 4,880 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 @G.E.C. - got it bang on, was said by several of us prior to game but tonight consolidates it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,633 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 I don't want to wank over the sheep BEE but I wouldn't say they are average. They were miles ahead of us tonight and have a more settled established side. The  fact a left back ran the show tonight shows how far we are.

cr3_bear 14,738 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Choosing between this and the first championship season is horrific . Both utter horrific . Do remember comforting myself after being pumped 4-0 at Easter road that this is as low as it can get following rangers . How wrong I was , countless times . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWAC 2,223 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I wanted to post a thread just now but really can't be fucked moaning anymore. Like everyone else leaving tonight I was just glad this shite is over for the season, the worry is how much better it'll be next. Good players must be brought in, we'll know fairly soon if next year is going to be tough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 In the 80s the likes of Aberdeen and Dundee Utd were genuine European forces...... a completely different era that had 3-4 genuinely good teams in the league.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We went from around 1966 - 1971 winning the sum total of fuck all, that's why for me personally that DJ goal to win the LC was massive.  they won niar during that period and the club that died won the European cup in 67.  That was humiliating, but you know what - as fans we never gave up, then again there was no internet.  Nope we just turned up week in, week out regardless and knew it would turn around.  Within a year of DJ scoring that goal we were EWCW champions.  Hard as it might be we need to keep the faith.  Auld Cunts Loyal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â yep that's true -- used to know many of the guys who went to the away games, no hangers-on just Bears who when push came to shove would (and did) back each other up. Folk like John Lawrence weren't perfect either but sure as shit were better than the board we have now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was dire. We beat them at Ibrox a few times , and , though our away record was shit , we certainly competed with them . Back then we were pretty grim though , and often out the league race by Christmas , though we did have a good record of getting to cup finals , winning a few if them . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
