  1. He clearly got his studs stuck in the ground when trying to readjust his feet and tripped. Because of his momentum the ball would have ended up behind him.
  2. You would have to be stevie wonder to not see how many times he’s bailed us out over the years. The point I’m making is when he’s not doing the business, no one else is stepping up to make things happen either. Which is where we currently find ourselves once again… as I said it’s fucking nuts that we are so dependent on a right back. One that’s aging and quite clearly struggling with the amount of games he’s being asked to play. But due how important he has become to our “style” of play and our piss poor recruitment he’s basically been undroppable. We have reached the point where those who rate Tav and those who don’t rate him finally agree… it’s time to move on.
  3. Tav will always be Tav. He’s either an 8/10 or a 4/10. The issue is that he’s currently the only player in our squad who is capable of rising to the occasion. It’s been years since we had another player who can step up to the mantle and drag us through games. When others fail to show up - Tav has saved their skin… when Tav has a stinker or finds himself on a bad run of form there’s nobody else who’s willing or capable of stepping up. We are so one dimensional. In reality it’s fucking nuts that we expect so much from a right back… it’s also quite frankly insane that the club have let it get this far. What other team in the modern game has spent the best part of 8 years building their entire team and style of play around a right back!? We have built a team that allows him to smash personal records… but it’s came at the detriment of the clubs wider success. I say this as a massive fan of his… it’s time to go. We need a massive culture change at the club.
  4. In isolation the result at the weekend hasn’t really changed what I believed we needed to do. A win with that level performance against relegation fodder would have raised just as many question about the teams desire to win the title. Prior to dropping points to County I was of the belief that if we want to win the league… then we needed to go to celtic Park and win. That’s still the case now, we just have to do it without our safety net. Our players going into that game against the mhanks thinking a draw was good enough wasn’t something I was overly comfortable with… the temptation to set up to avoid defeat being forcefully removed might be a good thing. Regardless there’s 4 massive cup finals to be played prior to that match starting with Dundee tonight. Mon Rangers, time to wake the fuck up.
  5. Does Lundstram have the ability to be a Rangers player - yes. Does Lundstram have the mentality to be a Rangers player - No. Talent will always fall on its arse when mentality falters. Maybe it could have been different if he wasn't led by individuals who can't even stand up to piss. Get him in the bin.
  6. Nevermind who needs to go-- it's much quicker to list who can stay.
  7. Forwards and defence have been shite - but with a non existent midfield we are just asking for trouble.
  8. Nice sentiment. But ultimately they have a lot more power over the SPL than the attending fans do.
  9. There was 110% contact. Was it enough to take silva down? Depends on what camera angle you look at. They spent the whole game moaning about Silva diving (some of which was completely justified in fairness)
  10. Sutton felt very strongly that it was a dive. That was it.
  11. Letting the mhanks sleep walk to another league title is embarrassing
  12. This team doesn’t want to win the league. It’s just a group of players who are happy to pull on the jersey and pretend to be Rangers players.
  13. Wright to shove everyone’s words back down their throats and score the first goal. Shame it won’t happen.
  14. Makes it considerably harder for the police but not impossible to locate individuals. Like when dealing with ISP’s it’s going to require court orders etc… VPN providers still track who is using their services and the police are still able to request more information from them. Where people fall down with VPN’s in terms of identification is the payment details and personal information supplied. VPN’s make it safer to browse the internet… but they don’t give people a golden ticket to partake in illegal activities. The police barely have the resources to deal with actual crimes. Anyone reporting an online hate crime without significant evidence that identifies an individual will be given an incident number and told to fuck off.
  15. An IP address on its own doesn’t mean very much. Especially given IPs can and do change on the fly when using mobile carriers. All they can do with an IP is identify a very rough location and which ISP it’s assigned to. Without a court order the latter isn’t disclosing anything about devices using that IP at that given time as it could be thousands. To get that far the police already need to have solid evidence to suggest a specific individual is involved in hate crimes. Even then this doesn’t prove who posted the comment…. Just who pays the bill. The email address, name and phone number on the forum account is usually a better identifier. A lot of people allow their Facebook accounts to be found using this info… which is usually where the police will also find something else they can get them on.
  16. If you used the switch guarantee(CASS) then your direct debits will be fine. The mandates are automatically done when they open your new account and close your old one. However if you didn’t switch and just created an additional bank account you’ll need to set up new mandates.
  17. If she’s old enough to play alongside you then “It takes two”. It can only be played in co-op but it’s a great game full of action.
  18. Don’t give a fuck about the performance tomorrow. Will take a 95th minute deflection of Dessers arse if it gets us the 3points. into the break with a win and then regroup.
  19. Despite our current state… the fact we are disappointed at getting eliminated after a narrow defeat to a team like Benfica is a testament to Clement and his staff. As a fan base we have been thumping our chests recently… but it’s important to remember how far we have come in a very short time with him. Many had our season as done and dusted several months ago.. The players didn’t let us down… the fact we are running on empty shows our players are giving it their all. Sadly right now we are injury ravaged and relying on players we all know aren’t good enough to be at our club. They aren’t intentionally trying to harm our club… It’s just an unfortunate situation we find ourselves in due to prior mismanagement. If this is a sign of what clement can achieve with players who lack quality and or confidence… then the rest of Scottish football should be absolutely shiting themselves for when he gets a proper opportunity to make his mark on the squad. The futures bright…
  20. A tie of “ifs, buts and maybes” Ultimately it’s just a bridge too far for our depleted squad.
