  1. I am seeing quite a lot of folk on Twitter saying it was unlucky or that we dominated and just wasn’t our day. I have seen a few comments on here also suggesting similar. Fair enough though, said I didn’t want to be that guy and probably shouldn’t have been, my point was that the mentality is poor and has been consistently poor from the same players year after year. Whether that has been under Beale or GVB it’s my opinion and I will leave it at that as others disagree
  2. Happy to debate if that was better than Beale. I don’t think it was. I think it was really familiar to Beale and GVB days. I am not for a second questioning PC as I think he is the right man for the job and he has only been here a minute but I think yesterday showed emphatically that many of these players don’t have the mentality. The subject of the thread. Yesterday was pish and I don’t think we should be sugar coating it. I still think the league is in play though.
  3. And play with 10 men every week?. And I mean 10 physical men rather than being a man down with Lammers or Dessers what successful teams have a thug in their starting 11
  4. We would be down to 10 men too often with that kind of player. yes we need a strong, winning-mentality bastard. But the thug footballer is a thing of the past.
  5. I don’t mean to be that guy. But I am going to be that guy. The fact that we have so many supporters this morning thinking that yesterday wasn’t that bad or just unlucky is a glaring indicator of how far our standards have fallen. In the 17 years I have been on this forum I don’t know how many times I have said this, but it bears repeating. When you have watched enough football you can see when a team is unlucky and you can see when they are not good enough and/or not working hard enough. It’s not the possession. Or the xG or the shots on and off target or the number of corners that tells you the story, it’s your eyes. Barasic making the wrong choice every fucking time is not borne out in any of those stats, Center halves leaving a massive gap between them on a simple punt up the park, not taking command of headers, and having no pace doesn’t show up in possession stats. Attacking players unable to cleanly strike a moving ball, midfielders not able to dominate their opponents. We have players being paid fortunes getting out worked by players on a fraction of their wage. It’s not unlucky it’s unacceptable. a team with a strong mentality don’t make excuses, they deal with the situation presented and they come up with the goods when it matters. As so many others have said, we have many players that have failed under 4 managers now. Yesterday was pish.
  6. We should start every game as if it’s a cup final. PC said that in the pre-match interview. Teams raising their game against us is absolutely normal. It’s been that way for as long as I have been alive and don’t expect it to change. That’s one of the challenges of being a Rangers player. as someone said in the match thread, it’s a non-issue. Everyone raises their game for Scotlands most successful club. We need to be matching them all
  7. Has the ability. Not showing it. Don’t know if he is trying too hard, believing his own press or playing out of position. Needs to keep his head down and play through it. Cut out the nonsense like that dive in the first half. It doesn’t work on the right for now so if he can’t stake a claim more central then bench him but surely he deserves as much of a shot at it as Lammers has been given.
  8. Just how I saw it. Thought Lundstram was neat and tidy and always showing for it. Thought Cifu in the first 30 minutes looked totally lost. Neither were the level we need but of the two I thought Lundstram was better
  9. Butland - Class Borna - pish. Would sell him at first opportunity for 50p and a pound of grapes Goldson - loser mentality Balogun - too old Tav - genuinely can’t figure out if he is a positive or a negative. But he has been captain of a lot of losing Rangers teams Cantwell - Number 10 behind the striker or on the bench… his first half dive was embarrassing Lundstram - felt he was okay today but needs someone beside him Cifu - miles off it Lawrence - probably our best player but needs match fitness Danilo - did ok but isolated much of the match Sima - gone way off the boil under the new manager, very weird
  10. I will take your word for it. Fuck watching that back. I might be frustrated at Barisic constantly hitting the first man and making the wrong choice.
  11. Nah. It was pish. No two ways about it aberdeen are fucking pish and we were out of ideas and playing long balls and GVB horseshoe stuff. we should have been right up for that but we looked asleep in first 30 minutes.
  12. Nah. One on one. You would expect the striker to stick it away. He curls it into the corner. Butland had no chance
  13. This has been going on for so long I can’t even remember a different time. We seem to lose an early goal so often and then chase the game. Somehow end up against an inspired keeper who performs heroics. I hope we convert some of chances but I have seen this movie so often. Cantwell is wasted on the right. Number 10 or nowhere. Cifu is miles off it. Shocking defending for both their goal and the Butland save.
  14. Those Stats are poor and anyway stats are irrelevant. Fuck sake, people have eyes and don’t need stats. He is pointlessly getting embroiled in shit that is irrelevant. No clue why he does it. He has all the ability and passion we need from a Player. We will live him for that alone he doesn’t need to be the wind up merchant
  15. Absolutely delighted they got gubbed last night. The more thrashings they get the better and hopefully have them papped out of Europe altogether. Their misery is welcomed. However. I really struggle to take as much enjoyment from their anguish as long as we continue to lag behind them domestically. Certainly some mirth and merriment at their failure but not yet ready to full on gloat until we are above them In The league and increasing the gap in domestic trophies won again. I am really hopefully that PC will make that happen.
  16. Are we able to recall Hagi and Lowry, loan out Lammers and Dessers with an option to sell?
  17. Lammers and Dessers need dropped out the first team and playing with the B squad... I don't think here is any way back for them but if there is, it has to be playing football away from the first team...
  18. Shockingly bad footballer.. confuses the fuck out of me how they (Lammers and Dessers) can be so bad and we parted with such significant money for them... I think maybe we should be asking to see Beales bank account ... I genuinely don't think Sandaza was as bad as these two.... certainly Sakala and Colak were better
  19. I don’t even know how it is possible for Lammers and Dessers to be this bad. They genuinely look like 3rd Division levels of bad
  20. I have seen others say it but the reality is that there is no clear candidate that will unite the fans. The only options available to us are going to be a punt. We are not unique in that either. They took a punt with Posticoglu and it worked out. They then got lucky that Rodgers has shot his bolt at the top level and was willing to come back. Any manager that we can afford and attract to Scotland is going to be a has-been or a gamble on potential. Has-beens are rarely going to play modern progressive football, they might galvanise a team but they won’t take us up a level. So it’s really down to “who has the most potential with least risk” invite interviews and see who demonstrates the most character married with an ability to define a footballing philosophy that they have implemented to some degree of success elsewhere. it’s going to be a massive gamble no matter what you do
  21. Agree. So who fits the bill then?
  22. I actually feel conned. I bought into the scam hook, line and sinker. “Brains behind Gerrard” 🤦‍♂️ The guy is a total imposter and I fell for it and said we should give him what he wants. Even through the summer I genuinely believed he was building a successful squad. Had a few misgivings over Dessers and Lammers but trusted his schtick about flying around personally to make sure these guys all had what it took to handle playing for Rangers. All of it. Every word, was just a big hustle. I now despise him for taking me for a fool and can’t wait until he is gone. I just don’t know who we could attract to fix this clusterfuck.
  23. He believes his own press. Thinks he can take players who have underperformed their whole careers and turn them into world beaters. His whole strategy was “who showed some promise but lost their way, I am the messiah I will turn them around” arrogant, bullshitting double glazing salesman. Full of piss
