It's not two results though. It's a steady decline in every aspect of the team. From tactics to player selection to team fitness and morale he's fucked up every single thing. I've never seen a team regress as fast and as completely as we have.
I 100% agree we've regressed massively. I guess it depends on whether you think he deserves a chance to sort it. For me, the pressure is now on him but I think the European run, Scottish Cup and CL qualification has earned him more time than some fans seem to be willing to give him. The next few weeks will be telling.

It's worrying yes and Gio should take responsibility but asking for a manager to be sacked on the basis of 2 results is nuts in my opinion.

Fuck this null and void chat. 6 more games and were there anyway.
75% of 38 games = 28.5.
So Kilmarnock at home 13th Feb is basically 75% of games played. (Halftime away to Livingston 28th Feb if we are being persnickety).
It would mean in principle that all clubs would have to hit 75% of games played. Which begs the question again why haven't teams been playing their games in hand when they should have been.

If we lose tonight are we not out?
No but we would need to win our last game and would also be looking for a result in the other match.

"Gerrard also moved to set the record straight on the transfer fees he has paid for Barisic and Katic and insists he has found exceptional value for money
He added: “Some of the numbers written about are above what we’ve actually paid. I’ve read we spent £2.5 million on Nikola - it was £1.5 million. It’s also said we paid £2.5 million. It was £1.5 million."This takes 1.25m off the transfermarket figure, assuming their other figures are accurate.
If approx 6m is accurate its a significant though not huge spend in the Scottish market, but looks to be incredible value and potential for profit in future.
You could also include 500k in for Waghorn as well so that's another half a million.

"God Save the Queen" isn't to do with independence, but whether the country is Royalist or Republican. Apparently SNP would retain the Queen as head of state in the event of independence. On the other hand I think the campaigning to move to a Republic would begin as soon as independence was achieved (which it won't as far as I'm concerned).
Saying that we shouldn't be having to listen to this type of campaigning for independence anyway. The country clearly voted no and this was meant to be a once in a generation thing. The people's choice should be respected. I don't want to have to go through another 2 years of listening to their shite again in the build up to anot her ref.
Lastly, can you believe in independence and support Rangers? In my opinion yes. At the end of the day it's all about loving the club first and foremost. However, Rangers fans that do this have to realise that they are promoting a viewpoint that will ultimately affect both our society and our football club for the worse. We have seen exactly how we are treated by certain groups within Scotland. These people will have more power within an independent Scotland. So for me independence is something that is completely at odds with protecting the future of our club.

There was a real buzz about the city when he signed, national news was all it - it really was that big a deal as Rangers completely stumped any English enquiries as they simply didn't know about his availability at that point. Remember reading that Man Utd were interested, but never made any real offer.
Not what I heard mate. He made a choice between 3 English clubs and us. The English clubs included Villa and Everton I think. It was in the documentary on Channel 4 called Waiting for Gascoigne. Follows the season from him deciding to go to us right through to winning the title. I think it was only ever released on VHS around that time.

Embarrassment? Not for me. 3 away games in the league including Aberdeen and the piggery as well as 8 qualifiers with 4 long distance trips. And with a team that have barely had a chance to play together.
1 poor defensive performance and 1 poor performance out of 13 competitive matches is what we've had. This team ARE capable of being a success. Our manager will learn, our players will learn and our team will get better. We now dust ourselves down, and start getting the league wins under our belt (which we will do). We all need to be behind this. I'm with them all the way.

Thought the formation was fine.
We didn’t react to what Motherwell did in the second half and no matter what formation you play if you don’t mark up at set pieces you will concede goals.
In 2nd half I would have went 4-5-1 and pushed Tav forward, Flanagan to right back and dropped a striker into midfield. With a 5 midfield we wouldnt have ended up sitting so deep and inviting Motherwell on. But it's easy saying that with hindsight.

Thr criticism of Halliday was way over the top. He deserves a chance under new management, with better quality players around him and in a team that is performing better. If he keeps doing what he's done this season so far for us, then he will be an important part of the squad.

I type Rangers into Google all the time. Ive spoken to some fans who use specific news sites but if you want the largest coverage of news regarding Rangers you should type Rangers into Google and then select news as it captures more or less everything.

Fod, Hodson, Cardoso, Wallace, John, Jack, Docherty, Holt, O'Halloran, Halliday, Forrester, Rossiter and Herrera all next please.
Wouldn't say no to some decent cash for Windass, Tav and Morelos either - but there's no rush to rid us of them.
Pretty much spot on except for Docherty who has not had a real chance to show. Edit: Jack as well.
I reckon Fod will probably leave and reckon we would get an ok transfer fee as well. If he stays then Alnwick will proably be loaned out.
As for Dodoo, I wish him all the best. Hopefully he does well.

No one from Rangers has ever said this, it's common knowledge that teams have to get a certain percentage of tickets for Cup games. Pretty much a non story.
Spot on. It's clearly designed to make it look like it is some sort of reaction to our earlier decision. But that decision was nothing to do with the cup, it was about selling more season tickets.

If your talking about great perfomances by players at Ibrox then of course there is Mendieta, Riquelme, Benzema but none of them would have been applauded individually during those matches.
Matthaus got some applause (and boos) due to him being subbed. Lampard got applause not just for who he was but because it was also a friendly. Andrews got the applause when he was warming up on the sidelines.
-
I clapped Matthaus when he was subbed off for Bayern Munich. There was quite a few clapping but there was a lot of boos as well.
The best reception an opposition player ever got at Ibrox was Lampard.

Rangers done more for him you mean.
As for the fans, we are the paying customers who pay their fucking wages and many struggle to do so, but they do, whilst players get paid a king's ransom for doing a job they love. Without us, there is no them and just a pity many of them fail to remember that.
Rangers done more for him?

He has close to a million followers. Millions more can see this stuff through retweets. He's slandering the club and attempting to turn others against us while it can also damage the club's brand. You can't just ignore that. The club 100% need to deal with this.

it's a good signing if Fod goes for a good money, but he is a traitor bastard the same as the rest that went. I've got no time for this " I would like to hear the real story " pish either...are people saying that really so gullible? do you think he and his agent weren't thinking exactly what Naismith was saying in his press conference with Whittiker?
I really wonder sometimes if we do have any standards left as a club because apparent it literally doesn't matter what you do to our club or fans - your welcome back any time.
Unfortunately players were looking after themselves. This could also be true of those that stayed as well as they had contracts with decent wages and perhaps knew they would not get a better contract elsewhere easily. They will all have their own stories and some will deserve the resentment more than others. 2 of the players went public at the time and it was disgraceful.
I reckon more fans were vocally against Miller re-signing the first time than they are of McGregor now. But Walter Smith went ahead with the Miller signing anyway. I don't see re-signing former players that made mistakes as a 'standards' issue as long as they are being signed for the right reason and that is that they will help get this club back to the top. I think if he's the best signing we could make then we had to make it. Whatever is needed to win our next title trumps any grudges held against former players. -

Don't buy that one
That team may have been similar to the present one but they were still winning trophies and picking up medals
Better players have been signed in key positions .
We have players that have played in countless big matches over quite a long period of time
I would suggest their big game records are as bad as 10% on winning sides and 90% on losing sides .
That is my definition of a loser
It's not just similar. 10 out of the 11 that started for them on Sunday were signed by Delia. The league was a certainty anyway due to lack of competition and the size of their squad. In the cups they did not do well and many of the players were probably considered shite.
Basically my point is the right manager can turn a player around. A players form does not necessarily show his ability. Many of these players will have to go but there not all shite.

Hahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahha
He's right. I hate to say this but the team that beat us on Sunday was more or less Deila's team and most of them were written off before they got Rodgers in. Just because a player is not playing well doesn't mean he's shite and just because the team is playing shite doesn't mean they are all shite.

H&H made a interesting point last night FDB is a project manager. It really deepens on how the board what to look at things..... Do they want the title won next year. ...IF so I cant see it being FDB is our aim now simply stop 10IAR well thats 3 years away so that would be ideal for a FDB type manager
I agree with this but our fans would never go with a 3 year project. The club also cannot afford to attempt a project over that length of time only to see it fail.
The only type of manager we should be aiming for is the one that will bring instant success.

Win ratios for Murty
1st spell (6 matches) = 50%
2nd spell (2017 1st 12 matches) = 58%
3rd spell (2018 2nd 12 matches) = 75%
No denying there has been major improvement. We've lost 3 in 2018. 2 of them I don't think we deserved to lose but did. The Killie game we did deserved to lose but I think on that occasion the players let Murty down. Im not saying he shouldnt take his share of the blame for the home form but unless we are unable to regain our form in the next few matches Murty should remain in charge until the season ends. We should then reassess.
-
Think his article is more or less correct on this occasion. First time we've played them in years where I felt before kick off that we should be winning the match. I felt that we done enough during the match to beat them. And in hindsight I am absolutely raging we didn't win it.
Murty seems to have the team going 'toe to toe' with them now which I see as a big difference. The competitive edge is there and the games can go either way in the way they used to.
For me Murty deserves a lot of the credit for bringing the team up a level. We still need to improve but who is to say we won't. He's got to the end of the season so that would be the best time to decide on whether he should stay or whether we should we get someone else in. A lot of people have made their minds up which I think is a bit unfair as there is still a lot to play for.

Again it depends on how you define progress - are we better at beating the rest of the spl and stringing wins together that we couldn’t? Yes absolutely
are we any closer to challenging celtic? We absolutely aren’t and anyone saying so is deluded especially after I’ve mapped it out clearly in that post you quoted - you have to consider everything I’ve said there when you think it was a close game yesterday
celtic are getting worse and we all of a sudden aren’t closing the gap on them due to big strides
I'd say yes we are definitely closer to challenging them. We havn't closed the gap yet but it's definitely reduced in my opinion. I expect us to win every game we now play. Thats the way it should be at this club and it shows clear progress from last year. You use the term "big strides" but it sounds very similar to progress. I'm still gutted about the score yesterday but don't think it' delusional to recognise we have moved forward.

I'm not so sure it would. Goldson brought his hands up to protect his face and he didn't make his body any bigger. So think even with VAR that one would not have been given as a pen.
