Surely you're boring yourself now with this pish?

Correct,  I'm bored and done with this now.

Hopefully Clement has the balls to take Tav out the team for Sterling. 

I fear sticking with the old guard of Tav and Goldson will cost of dearly in the title run in.

Maybe I'm wrong, we shall see soon enough. Parkhead is just around the corner, and they'll be targeting our right side.

If Clement doesn't have the foresight to replace Tav with Sterling then he has to play him on the right side in front of Tav to give him protection.

Sterling is 24 now. He's ready.

It must be utterly demoralising to see someone at Tav's level these days getting picked before you.

Tav was at fault for the first goal.

You’re reaching trying to find him at fault in 3 instances, once is plenty - he was at fault. Clearly.

I can’t take anyone serious who uses ‘of’ in place of ‘have’.  How old are you? 10?

Your grammer is good, your football knowledge is non existent.

The exact opposite of the example he set with the penalty.

Yes, it was a high pressure situation and a 10 out of 10 penalty. 

No keeper saves that.

It doesn't change what happened in the first 30 seconds. 

It doesn't change the fact that Tav doesn't have the pace to play top level football anymore.

Or that his passing is atrocious.

We have an exciting young full back in Sterling,  ready to take over. We're holding him and the team back.

Give Sterling a start against Dundee on Wednesday. Tav's played alot of games his year, he can be influential in the dressing room and on the bench.

If Sterling performs well then he stays in the team.

Absolutely took the stuffing out the team and stadium we were lucky we didn't lose the game in those first 30 mins or so

Exactly, the game could of been over by half-time.

At home, with the league in the balance we should of been flying out the traps.

Your captains supposed to be a leader and set an example. 

What sort of example does that sort of pathetic play set for the rest of his teammates?

He kicked the ball off maeda 20 yards out and it went in. It was dreadful defending but the very definition of a freak goal.

Tav fucked up 3 times for that 1st goal.

Firstly, by not reacting quickly enough when the initial ball was played. What was he thinking about, waving his arms around?

Secondly, when he finally reacts he's still got plenty of time to get to the ball first, but as he approaches the ball he slows down to have a wee look over the shoulder. This slowing down allow Maede to get right on top of him. 

Thirdly, the panicking attempted clearing when he realises Maeda is right beside him. He had other options. 

You'd expected him to be hyped up with the adrenaline pumping at the start of the game but it seemed as if his mind was elsewhere?

The wind was playing havoc with defenders, 5/6 goals were scored at the one end.

You knew even when we went 2-0 we'd have that advantage in the second half.

Id cut him some slack for that freak 1st goal and he did play much better second half.

 

 

Yeah i wasn't Tav's fault, we should of employed a weather man to let Tav know it was windy before kick off.

[Welcome to Rangers, Philippe Clement!]

Clement has been incredibly so far.

But  he shouldn't be immune from criticism and I didn't agree with his starting 11 today. (No width).

Bad first half but got no help at all from any on the right side of our team. No idea where Wright was hiding.

The first goal was nothing to do with Wright, nor was he involved in Tav's sloppy pass before the 2nd. 

But he was rotten too.

 

[Welcome to Rangers! Jack Butland!]

He's a great keeper and had a couple of great saves today. 

Maybe I'm expecting to much, but i think McGregor saves that 3rd goal with his feet.

[The Penalty Given Against Goldson]

All the reasons it shouldn't be a pen-

His arm is in a natural position when jumping.

It deflects off a player so you don't have any opportunity to move it out the way.

He's clearly not trying to make himself bigger.

It's not intentional.

There's no obvious advantage gained from it.

Reasons it should be a penalty-

It hits his arm in the box.

So we keep him at RB or punt him? 

He should become back up for Sterling. Could still be a useful squad player.

Give it a rest. He inexplicably fucked up fpr their opener but even so it was still unlucky the ball pinged in off their player's shin, and looking at his contribution over recent years it's a forgivable mistake.

His contribution is MASSIVELY positive.

It's not what you need from your captain in the 1st minute of the biggest game of the season. 

I'm still waiting for an explanation for what he was thinking of?

Could he be moved to another position 

Yes, substitute.

He just absolutely fucked it today and put us on the back foot straight away. If he just launched into the Govan, the Jap wouldn’t have been anywhere near him but his dithering just 20secs in put us on such a back foot, it’s criminal. Offers so much going forward (usually) but he shat it from the first minute against Maeda (who is utter gash btw).

We’ll probably only miss him when he’s gone but in such a momentous game for us you don’t want your captain to fuck up inside the first minute. In a game where you want to say to your entire back 4, “don’t fuck about” we sadly have a back 4 who do. 

What was he thinking about?

He was in a good position when the ball was played but decided to jog back while  hold his arns out to the side?

And he knows he playing against one of the quickest players in the league.

It's an absolutely mind-boggling  level of incompetent.

Captain material !!??

Tav has always been a bit of an enigma, but the good far outweighs the bad and he is still an automatic choice in my eyes.

And what do you think of Sterling?

Yeah... Top scoring defender in the UK... of all time... Pure pish man

I would go as far as calling him Pure pish man. Pish maybe but that's taking it too far.

Tav has scored some spectacular goals but most of his goals are penalties or free kicks.

I would 100% have Tav at RB ahead of Sterling 

How long do you think he has left as our no1 RB?

Should we play a defensive midfield beside him to make up for his snail like pace?

Do I need an answer more complicated than because he's consistently one of our best players?

Last season he was rotten till about February then he was excellent till the end of the season. 

This season he's been average. Sterling could be better and has a future.

Tav's done at the top level.
