Blue-tinted specs and tinfoil hat on a bit perhaps but I can say that today was easily the most I’ve felt VAR trying to and successfully influencing how a game went in favour of one side by decisions overturned or ignored, to the point they were almost looking at a retake for Joe Hart’s missed penalty. Handball by Scales not to be seen in real time was scandalous for the sheep not to mention the clear Hoilet pen where Johnston gets out-jumped for a header and called as a foul, unless it is, haven’t seen it again. Hopefully today isn’t forgotten about and noted by the rest of Scottish football. 

Barasic said his goodbyes to the fans a long time ago imo.  
Checked out physically & mentally for fuk knows how long.

Aye other than Miovski we should have higher quality players technically than all of them.
But just shows you what a bit of youth and athleticism pressing can do over a bunch of crocked 30 year olds

He probably finds it difficult to head to bed ffs. 

The Aberdeen goalkeeper is a complete tosser.
 
Not only was his attempted saves absymal but he went down injured on his own players penalty, made the young kid wait and low and behold he missed.

He didn't give the 'foul' as it happened, he waited til Carter Vickers had committed the penalty then gave it as a get out clause to avoid awarding the penalty. There was no advantage being played, it wasn't an offside type call the officials were waiting to see how play developed before puting flag up etc. It wasn't a foul, wasn't given until he needed it to be a foul.
Don Robertson is a cheat. Its that simple.
 

Robertson gives the free kick. Watch it back. 
 
He knows if he gives the free kick the stonewall penalty that he doesn’t want to give can’t be reviewed because the phantom free kick is the first part of the play. 
 
Carter Vickers has his head in his hands as Robertson gives them the decision. It’s incredible refereeing. 
 
Robertson was happy to have his face in front of the cameras 2 games in a row explaining why he called the Dundee game off. Should be shoved in front of a camera today and forced to explain that decision. 

A decent striker and a bit of desire and bravery is all it takes to beat them. That’s why we can’t beat them.

I’ve thought for a long time our ‘leadership group’ are lacking in intelligence, which Craig Moore touched on last year.  

Yep
Phil should go back to what was working for him originally 

Maybe under warburton and pedro we did
But when we hired gerrard we took on an ex player who had one of the most determined attitudes of his generation 
How someone like him never built that same determined core team is beyond me
Look at the captaincy that gerrard brought to liverpool, how he ever thought tav was captain material is mental 
Then with gio again, another player who had grit and fight in him, albeit only had one summer signings and maybe lawerence was the part, but fucking ben davies? Matondo (and if they werent his signings then why did he fucking allow it knowing they were shite) 

Could be worse mate. Could be in the Rosie earlier with all these sub crawl student cunts. Then they came into Windsor dressed in "scrubs".

Ma boys just back from sparring was in with a boy who’s got 5 gold medals at international level with Scotland and Great Britain, his coaches told him he competed well, held his own and that he’ll learn from it but he’s up in his room absolutely fuming with himself said “I don’t want to just hold my own and compete  I wanted to batter him”🤣
That’s a winning mentality right there. 
Wee bit off topic but our players could take a leaf out his book 

Sterling’s 24, people talk about him like he’s 20 or 21.

Focus, drive & a collective mindset is what they have at the midden. 
 
We have a few who in there who are kidding themselves on (and us) and would be happy for the season to be over now & setting off on their holidays. 

If you gave barisic the choice he'd probably take the CF seats and put someone else at left back

I’m pretty sure Lundstram has been offered a deal already and it just hasn’t been announced. I think Phil loves him and id be stunned if he’s not signing a new contract 

We need to break up the leadership/senior group in the squad. They've had their chances.
Getting rid of all of them is unrealistic, but as a start we either keep Tav or Goldson, but not both. There are a few other senior players I'd move on to and start again building a group with leadership.
In any team, be it in sport, work, etc - there's a mix of personalities and abilities. When it comes to the senior group (but to necessarily the manager) some can lead by example, others can lead by being no nonsense, others inspire, etc.
However these are the guys you look to drag the folk that maybe aren't naturally positive, are a bit quieter, or aren't ruthless winners along with them - I've seen enough evidence over enough time to say that don't think our playing squad has that in the senior positions. 
I've played enough sport and worked in enough teams to know the difference a good leadership/senior group makes, and seen how toxic cliques, weakness, comfort zones, etc, etc can be.  When rot like that has set in, the only remedy is to remove it.

Yep, lacking in so many aspects of what a Rangers player should be. 
 
Probably got his next cpl seasons mapped out with us then a freebie transfer down to Stoke or some mob. 
 
 

Keep reading this over Eminem style. 

He is already crumbling before our eyes, he needs taken out the team for his own good and ours as well even if its just a game or two but I severely doubt it will happen.
Hopefully get rid in the summer but he didn't have many offers if any when his contract expired a couple seasons ago so I severely doubt anyone will come in and pay a fee for him.
