Difference in that tarrier bastard commentating when we score. 

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

Dessers!! Fucking imtae them!

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

Every fucking time. 

You know they will go for a quick 2nd. Absolute shambles.

Usual suspects again.

Not watching but just had a look 

Why do we let them pass it in and around the box

Butland did well there but we could see it coming 

We sit off them far too much, give them way too much space. 

We need to press the life out of them like we used to. They can't handle that.

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

Fuck off Liam.

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

Silva has Johnston's number today. 

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

Hordes are unhappy, exactly what we need to do. 

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

Unlucky Silva!

I like him but this was never the game for him. We’ve started fucking horribly and a big part of it is Lawrence being nowhere near the play again.

I said earlier it's a lottery which version of Lawrence turns up. So far it's not the one we need, and it could cost us.

Volume off. Can’t listen to these twats on Sky. 

Radio Scotland isn't much better. Billy Dodds is good, but the other two are fucking murder.

They're getting a lot of decisions in dangerous areas

Some of his team selections the past few months have been crazy

He'll be here for the start of the season but you're off your nut if you don't think he'll be under massive pressure right off the bat, especially if he doesn't get a win over them in the next 2 matches & with the first game at their ground next season.

I'm putting some of the decisions down to the limitations in the squad, him seeing which players he can rely upon, and the perma injured unreliables. 

There's always pressure on an old firm manager, a cup and a Europa League final couldn't save Gio but there are definite signs of improvement and optimism to be had once he is able to shape the team how he wants.

Miracles really?

I said relative, but i would say dragging us from a 7 point deficite to leading the table, winning a cup and getting us to another cup final and qualifying from the Europa League group quantifies as a relative miracle considering the shambles Beale left. 

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

What's with the ridiculous patter about Clement potentially not being here next season? 

The guy has worked relative miracles with the squad he has inherited, brought us back into a title race from nowhere, won a cup and has us in the final of another. 

He'll be here. I would imagine a good number of the squad won't be.

Think the complete opposite tbh

To me it's definitely a "fuck it, we play our way" kind of lineup. 

Definitely an attacking team (within our limitations of course).

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

What's the odds that Johnston will get away with another red carder today?

Midfield will run all over us.

Strongest part of their team, and more often than not where the games are won and lost. 

I'd feel a lot more confident with Sterling in there tbh.

As good as that sounds, that's too much squeaky bum time for my liking!

Sterling front three is a positive.

Would rather him sitting in midfield, but he's still a good option on the right and gives Tav some cover that Wright or McCausland don't necessarily give him. 

[*****Official we love shitey hands and walls fc vs Rangers match thread*****]

I think bold is possibly the best word i can find for that lineup. 

On one hand I like that he's gone "we'll do us", but it potentially leaves us exposed.

Ridvan apart, i'm not sure how else we could have set up.

It is fucking cringey you're right.

The shitebags, not the patter.

You know what mate, you're right. 

We've been shying away from them for far too long. 

Clement will have us set up well today.

Just can’t believe he can play Lawrence, put a massive fucking downer on it given how the last one went when he started.

If intent on not playing Cantwell would have gone Sterling in the middle, even fucking Raskin for his energy before laid back Lawrence.

It's a gamble starting Lawrence, as you never quite know which version of him turns up. 

If he plays well, gets stuck in and fires a few shots from range, we'll do ok. If the other version of him turns up, it'll slow the game right down for us and he'll offer very little. 

If he starts, I hope it's the former we see.

Someone wake up Tav now! Don't want him sleeping again when the game kicks off!

You would think the length of time he's been here and played them he would know they always try and start quickly.

If that Maeda is playing, they'll stick him on Tav early doors and pressure him. Simple stuff but he has to wisen up sometimes that way.
