Stewart fucking greetin' about our penalty was embarressing but not unexpected.
Apparently "winning the ball" means slightly knicking it away from the opponent while completely avoiding the fact that if Silva doesn't get kicked down he has a free run on to the ball.

Bit of a fucking mad one that.
The less said about the first half the better but we were lucky it was just 2 at HT. Every time, going back to Gerrard, we lose or play poorly against them is because we fuck about with the ball in our own third and get burnt for it. We are, and were in the second half, so much better when we mix it up and go direct. Even as bad as we were in the first 45 we missed two brilliant chances with Silva and Goldson.
Second half was night and day. Getting a fairly early goal helped but we were back to what I expect from us which is a team with a bit of everything. Going from Wright to Sima will probably do that automatically. That Matondo goal gets better every time I watch it.
Play like that second half at parkhead in a few weeks and we'll be fine.
On to Dundee...

Not what I was expecting but I trust PC!

The SC semi under Warburton in 2016 was superb. Not my favourite but it's up there and I havent seen it mentioned.

Not sure that's the case tbh.
They would take a draw and be confident of beating us at the dump.
I'm probably just looking at it from our perspective more than I should be!

The pressure is on both sides here but there is definetely more pressure on them even with this being at Ibrox.
If we win on Sunday it will be the first time they've not been able to control the league by their own games since the 55 season. They'd have to rely on us dropping points and then beating us or dropping points multiple times in our 5 other games.
Whereas if we lose or draw we can still control the outcome of the title. Obviously the potential damage to our confidence and boost for celtic if we lost isn't worth thinking about especially with a visit to parkhead but we'd still have control along with celtic.

These games are won in the midfield and have been for as long as I've been watching Rangers.
I do have a slight concern with Cantwell, sometimes in bigger games he can be a bit flaky whereas in the games that we face a packed defence I trust him fully.
That's why Sterling starts out right for me. He gives the balance of just being an extra body to put out any fires and let Cantwell be free but he can also be very handy in a press especially against the likes of taylor who isn't technically very good.
For a defensive player I'm also impressed with how he reads attacking situations and can cause a problems with his runs. Benfica and St Johnstone being an example. I definetely think him, Tav, Cantwell and Dessers can move into celtic's left hand side we can cause plenty of overlaps and problems in there.
The left side has be Silva. In games when there is space he can cause plenty of problems. Away to Hibs and Benfica. I also think johnston is a booking/red card waiting to happen and Silva's trickery could expose him. With him on one side and Sterling on the other I think there is a really good balance for us. I just hope he has Yilmaz to support him down there.
Also as the game goes on we finally have plenty to change things with Lawrence, Matondo, McCausland, Sima, Roofe and Raskin.

I see the usual post match defeat trends over the last few years have come early this time around.
Greetin' about Ally's comments about the hate crime law as we know the song book gets brought up every time we beat them and of course the referees and penalties.
You know they're worried when this stuff gets brought up pre-match and not just post defeat.
As much as we joke about their obsession with refs when they've been clearly the better team it rarely gets brought up pre match until they don't win and it becomes a week long saga for some stupid non game changing decisions. Same goes for the singing.

Beat this mob and Dundee and we're 5 ahead with 6 games left. That's about as good as it gets with two teams that are pretty even. It's there for the taking just go and do it Rangers!

He had a poor game. Do you think “they” shouldn’t mention that?
weird!
"They" is the idiots on twitter.
And they are still correct to mention a poor performance but he certainly seems to be getting more stick than anyone else.
-
No matter his performance Souttar's name wouldn't be getting mentioned so much if he wasn't a Rangers player. Fuck them.

I see Liverpool fans have taken that defeat well. They're so like that mob when they lose.

Dundee's pitch has been a joke all season.
Would rather get another game out of the way but looking at it positively we should have more players available for when we play them which gives us more chance to win.

Im no telling on anyone i posted it and I stand by it. All thats matters is the league. Think everyone on this forum loves a pile on but wont give a fuck when we lift the league trophy
Hardly say it's a pile on.
We're not even two hours after a European KO in a very tight game that we could easily have won and you've created a thread (not even just say it in the match thread) about how it was the "best outcome" in your opinion. People are just giving you their opinion back.

Fine margins at this level as we know and we were missing just one too many players tonight.
Our only true strikers is Dessers, Silva is our back up playing out left, Lawrence looked totally done in second half and Wright has came in as about the 7th choice winger.
Matondo, Cantwell, Roofe and McCausland nowhere near the fitness we need to go and change that game. Sterling made a massive impact in Lisbon with his non stop running and reading of the game. That's before we get into what Sima and/or Cortes could have added.
Benfica on the other hand had their full, very expensive, well put together squad available and they still only managed to beat us over two legs by 1 goal.
It's a disappointing result but nothing to be ashamed of tonight and plenty to play for domestically.
On to Dundee...

Plenty more shitebags on this forum than on that pitch tonight.

Love Ally on comms, not just because he's ours, because he's the only one that does co-comms that sounds like he actually enjoys getting paid to watch football.

I’m surprised by the Hibs meltdown tbh. Going into Sunday I seen the game as pretty routine for us and wasn’t worried in the slightest by it. Genuinely
That was how the game played out as well. Hibs offered very little and we blew a bunch of good openings.
A goal up before the first red and Hibs hadn't lay a glove on us for 70 minutes.
Makes the faux hysteria even more mad.

All about setting the narrative before the next OF game.
100% when we will get a proper dodgy decision against us

I'm flabbergasted anyone can actually say there was no foul on Sterling and then the assault on Lundstram wasn't a shocker
They don't actual think that. Hibs fans are ragin' they lost to us (again) and the other cunts just need somebody to blame cause Rangers can't possibly win games of football or just be better than them.
If Hibs or celtic don't get the Sterling penalty, the second yellow or the red card you'd be sure as fuck hearing about it. All part of the mason conspiracy which helps them sleep at night.
Clement has them right where we want them!

Absolutely loving the meltdown from last night and long may it continue.
Welcome to Rangers! Jack Butland!

Only issue I have with Butland today was the third goal and he wasnt the only one for that third goal.
The first pings of maeda so fast its hard to react, the second was a penalty and he made 2/3 big stops to stop it going to 3.
