RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We need to start beating the other teams in the league. Start taking 90% of the points against the rest and even only taking 1pt off them over the season.... the league would still be there to be won.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Meh. The only good thing about this is that the more successful Rodgers is, the more likely he will get his coveted move back to England. That's their catch-22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumbGER 24,518 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Seeing them qualify again for the champions league again further proves that 'banter years' patter is horrific. While we got shafted they got a free run, brilliant banter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 we have to find a way to put them under pressure. At the moment they are coasting by without a care in the world and last season had the league won by xmas. They have now qualified for the CL - so the pressure is off for them in that respect as well. We have to get closer, to up the ante, so that they start to think about what they are doing and get them to make mistakes. All players look good when theres nothing at stake and can play as if they are down the park for a kickabout - its when the pressure is on that you sort out the wheat from the chaff. For too long its been a walk in the park for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for me he has a limit of four seasons which isn't long enough for their go at 10iar. I have no doubt he wants back in the big time of the EPL and not the current, boring one-horse race up here. The CL is an obvious attraction. but that also loses its appeal if they continue to get skelped by real quality teams in the group stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are having their time. They're still a shite team in a shite league with absolutely NO guarantee of champions league every year. Sick of hearing this doom and gloom every time they qualify. Theyre an average side who eventually will slip up. All we need is more consistency, some more battles in the old firm games to put in a challenge. One defeat in the league and this mob will start doubting themselves. They're Fucking horse pish with a lot of confidence and confidence gets you everywhere. I don't think the clock is ticking at all. They've become utterly ruthless in what they do on and off the pitch. They will relentlessly push for 10 In A Row. How we catch them I don't know.

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Utterly grim. They're demolishing everything in their path, they've just qualified for the Champions League group stage again, having already knocked-out Rosenborg, and they're 40-odd domestic matches unbeaten. Meanwhile, we were knocked-out of the Europa League by a fucking amateur side, we've just lost at home to newly promoted Hibs, we're haggling over a couple of hundred grand for Jamie Walker. They'll do ten-in-a-row, then more. And this isn't a tarrier love-in, this is me venting my frustration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterheadBear 1 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It's the belief in thing like "bar one or two players their squad is average" that give cause for a potential long(er)-term malaise to be established and maintained. We need to wake up and realise that their squad is actually pretty good and understand that that's the barometer we should be using in trying to target players that would get us an equally good "average squad". Where's our Sinclair? Where's our 30 goal a year strikers? Where's our Tierney? Where's our wingers that create / score goals every game? Where's our new midfielder from Man City? The bar and expectations need raised significantly. Ideally like they did when they brough in Oneill and spent a lot on established experienced pros.

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The suggestion that, barring one or two, their squad is average is nonsense. Brown, Armstrong, Griffiths, McGregor, Tierney, Rogic and Bitton would walk into our line-up based on last season and so far, this season, too. Sinclair and Dembele are there because of Rodgers and he was a high risk that paid-off, big time. Meanwhile, we brought in an unknown Portuguese manager who was head coaching in Mexico. What did he attract? Mexicans and Portuguese, mainly. Those hoping for major investment shouldn't hold their breath; we're a mess and for the foreseeable future, we won't be an attractive purchase for any prospective buyer. Rich Rangers fans? Where were they when we needed them most? Nowhere to be fucking seen. Never mind, we'll draw with Hearts on Saturday, Pedro will end his post-match interview with "we are the people" and the tarriers will open negotiations with Hearts over Walker, then sign him the following day while Paul Murray sends info@heartsfc.com another e-mail offering £25K more than the last bid. I remembers Rangers used to send me off on my summer holidays buzzing, too. Now, this pish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone accept a degree of mediocrity for a few years, while we stockpile the saved cash. Then spend it at the end of the saving period to put together a team with some kind of chance of beating them. The alternative is where we are now, pissing away what money we have each season on aged well known players and journeymen such as what we've been doing for a long time now. Last year was Clint Hill and Kranjcar, this year its Alves and Pena. We're never beating sellik any time soon with teams of the standard we're putting together at the moment. To me that's the only way we can beat them, other than getting jammy as fuck and uncover a few gems on the cheap, or else we somehow get bankrolled by a rich cunt. Where we are just now is the definition of long term mediocrity which the majority of the support have not yet woken up to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We still haven't recovered from getting pumped down to the bottom, plenty said we should have been building, not bringing in has beens and journeymen. Delila brought in most of that lot, they've had at least three years to gel and improve, Brenda only needed to bring in a couple of quality players, if we had done things right we would now have a squad equal to if not better.

It's about time the majority of our fans realise how far in front they are of us on the park. all you hear is aye they're average apart from this player that player etc. you know what no sadly they are a good team and we need to see that. if more of our fans got realistic rather than expecting us just to suddenly beat them all of a sudden then we may have a better chance. we need investment and to give the manager time for it to work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman36 3,455 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 If we plan now for making an attempt to beat them in the 10 in a row season (three years of stockpiling cash), we stand a better chance of doing it than what we're doing now. I know what I'm saying will never happen. We're going to have to get incredibly lucky or they're going to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting thrown down was obviously the biggest cause of the situation right now . However I still think the extra year down in the championship was the biggest fuck up of it all .
