    bob1873 reacted to Colin Traive in Injuries - has it been this bad before?   
    Apart from the issue of not having them available to play, the other consequence is that you can’t move them out to get replacements in.
    So the squad (and the wage bill) looks bloated but the number actually available is greatly reduced.
    Half of those listed by the OP would be shipped out tomorrow if I had my way allowing fresh blood in.
    I’ve been following the team fifty-odd years and I’ve never known such a run.
    Indeed there are probably questions to asked about medicals pre-signing, recovery treatment and the whole sports science field, if we even have one.
    My biggest problem (apart from the sheer number of players concerned) is the time they take to recover. Players at other clubs seem to miss a game or two whereas our injuries seem season-ending.
    Any kind of update from the club would be greatly appreciated too.
    We have a guy who has never yet played for us who is a year and a half into his contract. Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with Nnamdi Ofoborh? I and every other supporter would happily be right behind the lad but the least the club could do is keep us informed.

    You might want to work on that but it’s the right question can he take Wilson and the manager with him please?

    I am a glass half full sort of guy.
    We played well, went up a few gears, mixed our tactics, pressed more than usual, the zonal marking has been dumped, 4 different players scoreded and we were really good to watch.
    Tav improved from previous performances too. Wasn't he better than his average game this season? Yes. 
    Wasn't a perfect performance by any means mate, but you have to give credit to every single player who tried his best today. 
    I haven't even slagged Kent FFS!

    he looked much better when he drifted more centrally, still not enough from him but was certainly an improvement over recent weeks.
    Overall delighted the team and GVB proved me wrong today, i was expecting the worst when they scored. Lets put it into context though its one game - we need to see this level of commitment and level of play consistently. Until then nothing has really changed in terms of my opinions on the manager and training staff.

    An absolute scuddin, although we must thank Jim Goodwin for coming to Ibrox and thinking he can go toe to toe with Rangers

    You’re stated aim is to have us as a selling club so where does signing up injured players like souttar and Roofe fit in with this policy.

    I get his point, he’s just not used great examples.
    Leverkusen have lost 4 out of 5 before the night, Chelsea are a shambles who’s players have chucked it and are shite, Sporting put Dortmund out last season and Frankfurt aren’t actually that good based on the game against us

    No rules breached but are on a watchlist and have to provide more detail to UEFA.
    Don't see it being an issue as it will be based on our finances prior to a Europa League final run and qualifying for Champions League

    Any truth in the latest “story” that we are in danger of breaching FFP regulations?  Sounds like a convenient board originated story to cover largely dreadful recruiting.

    bob1873 reacted to chrism_scotland in Are we prepared to write off this season?   
    Too early to write off the season, a couple of slip-ups from celtic and we're back in it.
    Its early days for them too, injuries/fitness haven't been much of an issue as they didn't have a European Qualification to go through and now they're also playing weekend & midweek that will start to be an issue for them too.
    That said we need to seriously buck up in a number of areas tactically and performance wise if we're to have any real chance, hopefully as we start to get players back from injury and back to fitness (Alfie for one) we can start to look more consistent.
    Need a decent keeper though....

    Bang on.  Every leadership group has a time frame and theirs ended with #55.  The $64000 question is who would replace them but not knowing that answer is not a reason to stick with the status quo.

    We are a poorly managed business, end of.  Provided loans where neded but they haven't corrected those mistakes depsite the income coming in.  Bloated squad, ridiculous spending, sadly it's us as fans who suffer.

    To me our priority is the league title. To Rangers football I feel the priority is European football. There is the disconnect between the board and the fans imo. It needs fixed fast.
    Apart from Walter Smith the Manchester run and big eck getting us to the last 16 of champions league. We've never been brilliant in Europe but we had some fantastic nights. Come May we had cups and titles to celebrate that always triumphed the disappointing European campaign.  
    I'd take a few poor years in Europe if it meant a period of dominance domestically sadly that's not the boards priority anymore.

    Sometimes I really wish we played a bit more like they. 
    Fast movement of the ball, get it up the park and get loads of over/under loads and balls into the box quickly 
    We want to play too much football.
