I guess the games we didn’t drop points in weren’t deemed important enough? Our best league start in how long? This season has gone fine apart from the last two games, and frankly the Aberdeen match was the most concerning. I hope we get a result against YB, otherwise you’ll probably want Gerrard sacked. No i chose games where the expectation was higher, the pressure on the team was greater Hearts away, we had went top of the league, oir chance to stay there, we blew it Sheep away, start of a massive week in the season, we blew it Tarriers at home, chance to lay down a marker, show that we are better than them, we blew it Today game...... Do you see a pattern forming here, scudding the worst hearts team in a decade at ibrox is one thing, and the team have played well for most of the season, however to me it feels like everytime a game has more than normal pressure in it, we choke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookies had the papes clear favourites as did this forum on Wednesday night (myself included based on the same CB pairings playing again) we were in a final against the team who had domestically won the last 9 trophies on the bounce.....where exactly in all that were we expected to win this game?

He said ‘a big game that we need to win’ as well as ones we are expected to win. Yesterday clearly comes under the heading of need to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Rolle 514 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 So we dominated yesterday, so what? We’ve always agreed that the result is all that matters. If anything good comes from yesterday it will be the biggest reaction we have ever managed - to get through on Thursday and go on a sustained run of wins including the Dec 29th game until we go top of the league again AND stay there. Lose at their dump in December and we build up the psychological barrier we broke down last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
middli 1,561 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The big problem with the game on the 29th will be the scum potentially being 5 points clear going into it as they will play an extra game before it. Therefore we will be going into that game knowing a defeat leaves us 8 points behind and for me that would be the league all but over. We say we dont handle the pressure domestically.....if that scenario isnt pressure I dont know what is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Nothing wrong with our performance yesterday bar missing a barrow load of chances. Lost out to an offside goal. Had we scored first we go on to desevedy win the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc holliday 1,653 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Yes indeed. We lost but our total outfield dominance and general attitude surprised and delighted me personally. Yes there are issues we need to look at. For example ,we had so many corners that we failed to make anything out of as well as numerous scoring opportunities albeit defied by their keeper who was Goramesque.

scottyscott1963 18,018 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Disappointed with yesterdays result....YUP!!! Disheartened with our play...NO WAY!!! We won the battle against a team with the "knew" messi and worth 100's of millions according to a team of pinochios in the press,and we showed them up as a team of chancers. A rerun of yesterdays match on the 28th and the desired outcome,then heads will roll at the paedo dome. The way we bossed that match yesterday will give the tramps food for thought,and will have to change things at home,which could be to their detriment and come out in our favour.

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Only good thing might see katic back in going by helander going off(could rake a look a Jack for example of desire for the jersey).

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Interesting to see what reaction people would have had if we had won 1-0 with our only shot on target but had been comprehensively outplayed for much of the game. Sure we would have the moaning brigade doing the result down and saying it was a fluke result and we have no chance of winning the league. Shit happens but we move on.

bluebell82 236 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I don't think its a case of we don't have the right mentality, yesterday was just a case of they had a gk who had the game of his life. Its fine margins, he could quite easily have dived the other way for Morelos' penalty and we'd be saying what a great penalty it was and how Morelos coped with the pressure. It does add abit more pressure going into the game at the piggery, that's a must win i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its to do with the fact that against ten men we were honking, worse than that, i honestly wish they didnt go down to ten men because there would have been less expectations on the team and they might have done something, instead for the last half an hour most of the players on the park shat the bed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
