You could literary hear the abuse being hurled at him when he was standing checking the VAR screen and the full stadium chanting fuck the SFA.
No wonder he didn’t over turn it 😂
The replay angles he was shown did Sterling no favours. Live commentary had a few angles which would have given cause for the red to be downgraded but with the VAR replays it looked a definite red.

Boyles one is a penalty. Not looked at and booked for diving. That's a fucking farce.
Have not seen it but given his history of diving not surprised.

Not a bad thing , think he gets too wound up playing them and less effective.

The same applies to Raskin because Jack (who is also competing) was noticeably better than Raskin when he came on.
Competition should bring out the best in all of them.
Completely agree; more and more I feel that Cantwell is intent on doing his own thing rather than playing for the team. Trying to be everywhere like a headless chicken does not help the team. He would be better settling down and harnessing his undoubted ability in a constructive manner. It would also help if he would stop the dramatics and the petty confrontations and just use skill to put down opponents.
Lawrence is a difficult one, short of fitness and match rusty he still has show he can be a fit in midfield.
Raskin also needs to build fitness and play more than in fits and starts.

No out ball, Wright and Cantwell waste of a jersey so far.

Do Rangers have a bigger percentage of youngsters who have good ability but don't have the mentality to push on?
Be interesting to know what the club do to address that with the youth.
Apart from a couple of youngsters who have progressed to first team in the top tier for us in the last 20 years Auchenhowie is a a facility that we run as a charity to train players for other teams.

He was an attacking player with us before he left.
Walter shoehorned into a right sided attacking role which he was never suited for. Used tow watch him in the reserves where he was a central deep sitting playmaker.

I always thought it was the SPFL who “ negotiated “ with Sky, didn’t realise lugs could do that or make amendments on their own. Makes it interesting going forward.

Singing section shouldn't be required, the whole fucking stadium should be bouncing every game and belting out the tunes, however, we are where we are, so its a good move, its time Ibrox was a cauldron of noise again, not just for Euro nights etc.
Agree, maybe I am just an old fogey remembering things through rose tinted memories, but I wonder if the UnionBears section has stifled sound and spontaneous singing from the rest of the stadium.? It seems the only time the whole stadium comes together if for a couple of old favourites.

Normally I'd agree but just you wait until we get absolutely shafted with these two games in hand, we'll end up playing them between EL games and have like 4 games in 8 days or something.
Correct, I am sure there is a tour of Japan and Korea that has to catered for so no possibility of extending the season.

Walter again. Also broadfoot centre half to right back
Walter first time round almost always used one full back with a central defender at the other full back position. McPherson, Boli, McLaren, Moore, Porrini etc. Possibly to ensure that the full backs did not bomb forward at the same time leaving the team exposed for breakaways. Second stint often had four central defenders along the back line, if it meant we won nobody cared.

Anyone else think soutar is an accident waiting to happen? Where was he in the one on one with butland chance?
then god knows what he done in the second half in the box near the end was up the other end but could hear the groans did he miskick or something?Yes, said many times I loved it when he played against us since he would give away 3 or 4 good chances every game. Plays opponents onside, goes to ground too often in tackles or blocks, like today. Poor reader of the game and over confident in his ability.

Hope Silva can be involved. Match fit or not, get in him the 11.
Not sure the international clearance will be through yet.

Do you really think Wright will suddenly become anything other than a wage stealing flop?

There is a gap in quality and numbers between the squads. They have forwards and sub forwards who score goals. I try to think every match who will score for us and think Tavenier with a penalty or free kick is the most likely. This should not be the case for a team our size. Front three are miss more than hit and midfield have not pulled their weight for years in the scoring dept. Even central defenders are below average in set piece goals.
-
The gap in quality is obvious; they are faster, smarter and look fitter than us. They have strength in depth, players, especially upfront, who can come on and make an impact. We have Wright and Matondo!!
They have proactive midfielders, we have midfielders who always seem to be at full stretch just trying to get the ball. They take quick set pieces which still seem to catch out our players.We have a superior keeper and arguably a better back four but we really need to find money to do what has been needed for ages: clear out the deadwood, the permanently injured and the plodders, replacing them with players who can play at pace and have the ability to pass and control ball and game and strikers who can fulfil the description.
A hard ask following years of shoddy recruitment and criminal waste of money and I have no clue of how to fund what is needed. Maybe get rid of the youth setup which apart from 2 players in 20 years has only benefited other teams in our league and below.
Yes I am sick at what seems to be continual disappointment and heartbreak my grandkids feel when we fall down to them and worse teams when we think we have a chance.

Honestly was surprised he wasn’t hooked earlier. Watched the highlights and astounded he was back on after half time; clearly was not able or willing to do the job he was supposed to do. He was so far off McGregor it was embarrassing and was playing in his own little world not for the team.

Scott Wright is truly awful but canny understand why he's being picked out.
I think it is because t shows how poor our squad is.

There is a huge gap between the squads in terms of numbers and quality. Still relying on Wright, who was not deemed good enough for Aberdeen, to come on to rescue the game is shocking.
We need another couple of strikers as well as Silva since Dessers was shown up yet again as a donkey unable to fashion a clean strike,hold the ball up or even link play.Patience must be running out regarding Cantwell , we played with 9 men with these two.
Up front the only threat came from the youngest player on the park and in midfield Sterling was the only one who looked the part. Despite my reservations Yilmaz did well in defence and going forward
-
Holy trinity, Walsh, Collum and Clancy as 4th official.
-
Faster, fitter and smarter, able to pass and move but above all they can finish.
-
The difference in squads is massive.How many players do they have that come into their first team?
-
When will this team stop being surprised by the quick throw in, corner and free kicks? McGregor getting to boss the game again.

Yilmaz needs to have a good game today
The biggest worry for me,I do not rate him defensively or going forward. Wonder how long he will last today.

Just wish we had a goalscoring striker which is what is needed to get over the line.
