Popular Post Virtuoso 27,180 Posted April 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2018 Quote The silver things in the photo below are called trophies. Gone are the days that we expect to win them all every season but we certainly deserve a team capable of competing for them. I've met fans who've travelled from the four corners of the globe to be at today's game and I passed coaches from all parts of the United Kingdom as I made my way back to my own local bus. I was down and dejected as I made my way home but felt even worse for others who's sacrifices are greater to follow our club but who witnessed one of the most lacklustre and unimaginative Rangers performances I've ever seen in decades. I met the son of true Rangers royalty at the game and his father would have been spinning at what we watched this afternoon. His opinion was this is the Rangers team with least fight he'd seen in 50 years. It's hard to disagree with him. We witnessed a team void of any spirit or fight and apart from maybe Docherty, they looked like they didn't want a game. We had zero game plan and seen no evidence of any pre planned ideas of how we could get any leverage out of an average celtic defence. One of the strangest parts of the game was seeing a manager who normally takes too much time in his substitutions take off Halliday on the 42nd minute with 3-4 mins left of the half. If his performance or a change of tactics required this substitution then fine, do it at half time and give yourself the chance to properly plan the changes during the break but we hung him out to dry. He wasn't sparkling but wasn't that bad that he had to face the indignity of being hooked in the first half. I believe Halliday reacted in the technical area. Can you blame him? All we have left of this season is to cement as high a league position as possible in the last 5 league games. I have no hope left in a group of players who are better than the majority of teams they've dropped points to this season but game after game they fail to deliver. Our tactics and formations are failing the players, the club and the fans. I'll say it again, our fans deserve better. Failing to stay above Aberdeen and Hibs could see the nightmare scenario should Motherwell win the cup. From the quoted £30m that the board said was required when they took over the club, £17-22m (depending on where you look) has already been put in. I think a blind man with a passion for rugby could tell you that more, and much more, is required. It's obvious that a new manager is required and an even bigger recruitment drive than we've seen in the last two years will be needed to put our club anywhere near where we deserve to be. The feeling on the street is the honeymoon is over for the board with more fans each day losing patience with the product they are seeing. Today's game seems to be one shocking performance too much for many. Fans can deal far better with a defeat if they feel the team has been set up with a chance and the players gave 100%. Neither has been evident far too often recently. The board can't risk another gamble for a manager and the fans know fine well that millions was blown unsuccessfully by the previous two but more is needed if the fans are to get a team they deserve who will have a chance of competing for the big silver things below. https://www.facebook.com/SonsOfStruth/posts/2124763434421440 Nothing about him being responsible (along with CG) for shoe-horning in the current board on the back of broken promises whilst acting in what was their own vested interests By your deeds....

Popular Post Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2018 ?? jeez that smallest of small criticism of the board must’ve hurt to write for them. 17-22 mill (depending where you look) what the fuck was that all about. This from the cunts that could tell us to the penny what the figures used to be suddenly can’t find 5 mill floating about the club. Plus it wasn’t the board that said they would need to spend 30mill it was King alone that said HE would need to spend that (remember him ya shower of arse licking cunts) the other 20 mill was from other wealthy investors. So after 4 years of the 5 year plan who much has your lying chairman personally invested. thebooler, alibali59, Band of Brothers and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonRFC 1,302 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The worst thing about that photo of the trophies with the Rangers ribbons on it was the sponsors, Tennants haven't sponsored the Scottish Cup for years, CIS haven't sponsored the League Cup for nearly 15 years, think it's been a decade since Bank of Scotland sponsored the SPL/Premiership - I know it's a photo of the treble and we'v won all those trophies since then but it just reminds me that we've now gone 7 full years without winning a major honour. There will be 12-15 year old kids going week in week out with no real recollection of us being successful in any way shape or form as far as major honors are concerned.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Comments on that page aren’t that bad on the whole with folk asking where the cunt is now. But there is some right wallopers as well, one says it’s celtics era we just have to accept it, another doesn’t think the board are doing anything wrong to the club.

That's what's killing me mate, seeing my boy so hurt and disappointed time after time and he can vauguely remember Jelavic rolling that ball home or Laffertys goals to demolish Killie. I'm fortunate that i can remember lots of good things but those times were his introduction to really supporting us and following football at a young age, it's a fucking shame.

Gman36 3,453 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 See even if they did spend 22 million of their own money on the club (which they didnt), they spunked it on absolute dogmeat so its been as good as wasted anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
