    Can anyone defending this decision give me one positive reason for doing it?

    Its not a huge issue in this instance but that doesn't stop the logic from being baffling?

    I honestly think even giving out the team sheet we are still less predictable than when Warbs was here....we all knew the team and formation 6 days before the next game.

  2. I can't see an issue with this,

    It's bold and i love it, i hope it pays off cause the knives will be out if it doesn't....and it really might not....I would say Keirnan has  been utterly embarrassing all season.

    I'm not sure how we can be more exposed not having him and Senderos. I have no doubt that Warbs would have played with a back 3 with (Tav, Wilson, Halliday ).... no way he would have started with a 17 yr old  LB and 20 yrs old CB.

    Killie's game plan maybe to overload down our Left...maybe this has been factored in and we will look to exploit.....fucking mental.... seat of your pants crazy is our manager...got to be better than the Vanilla and sound bites we are used too....  

    Happy to Question his tactics and decisions after he has actually looked at our squad in it's entirety, plays different players and then gets his own players in...until then he has a free pass from me...as long as we get  European football... beat Celtic...get 2nd place...win the cup and never drop another point again.

    Family members of mine have known his since the kid was born near enough, if you want me to get specific i can in private. His dad is not a 'screaming pape.' He's a Rangers man, as is Billys mother. Billy had a short spell when he was somewhere between 5 and 10 where he chose his team to be Celtic to go against or wind up his old man. This has since changed, and thousands of young kids have done the same over the years. 

    Some of you on here are fucking disgraceful. A select few genuinely take a perverted enjoyment from the situation we're in, and lick your chops at the chance to pile in to absolutely anyone or anything. Have a fucking word man, honestly. 

    As much as i totally agree with you 100% ...

    .......if at the age of between 5-10 i decided to support Celtic to wind my old man up, i would have found street living pretty tough..

  4. To be honest, forced or not, Pedro's decision at half time was still insane, absolutely mental, but for me it is still better than the 60 mins change with the same type player replacing the same type of player..decisive and mental is the way forward ...until we get tanked, but at least we won't be predictable !

    I hope more teams attack with 3 up top, and we countered quickly which seems to be something Pedro wants to do.

    The first half performance was a Warburton one, i just hope Pedro can coach them out of it...or remove the players that it is ingrained into. 

    Changes defo for Wednesday, we need to stop rewarding poor performing players.  

  5. he is a 20 year old boy and has been fantastic, interestingly in the news reel he said the best thing about Scotland was the city...i feel that would be the worst thing about Scotland should he move, he wouldn't be able to live in it...

  6. Tbh the second half was absolutely mental and exciting, but the first half was shocking i think it will take time to lose the influence of Warbs and the first half was the epitome of his games this season.

    I was happy at the fact he was making changes at half time and willing to do something completely different rather than the vanilla like for like change on the 60 min mark.

    Looked like he didn't want a draw and willing to risk losing to win the game which i would have any day of the week, we will win nothing by drawing at home so it's worth the gamble.

    Enforced or not all the subs played well and i think will start except MOH with TAV back Wednesday

  7. FFs OP !  

    I married into a Celtic family and so did my brother ( When my dad first met my future wife to be, he said 'well son if you can't fuck the Pope...may as well fuck his followers).

    Subsequently, we took his advice and i have a son, 4 nephews and 2 nieces....and all support Rangers, kids follow there dad's in this and by the time they realise they can support anyone else, you give them a second team in say Real Madrid or Barca. There grandad's  on our wives side hate it, but our kids will not change and love watching Rangers....especially cause they always get Ice-cream, so if you can't persuade them to loyalty then buy it and make a big thing of watching our games.

  9. The sad thing for me is, back in the day a crazy left field team choice still had good players in it....now a crazy 'out of the box' thinking team looks mental....Murty has had two weeks now, i clutch at straws thinking he has instilled something into them...i would accept performance enhancing drugs to get Keirnan and Halliday to a mediocre level.

    When Warburton & Weir get themselves a championship job, they would only come to us for Mackay, that is the calibre of player he brought in, he wouldn't take any of them with him to his new club.

  10. What we lack is confidence and quality but in this league we still have more quality than any team below Celtic ( hard to believe).  As a minimum we need to have fight and a desire to win which is sadly missing. I really don’t understand the attitude of ‘we’re shit so I’m not watching us ? I support Rangers win, lose or draw...in saying that, Keirnan makes me madder than i used to get watching Black playing....

    Anyway changing formation happened last week but we looked embarrassing at the back…again, so Murty needs to think and do something different, so maybe we start with Bates at CB, if he isn’t capable why have him in the squad and hill could talk him through it.? Our holding mid isn’t a holding mid and he either needs to be dropped or pushed into a fwd role with Hyndman and think about putting a defensive minded player in the role or play 4-2-3-1.  I don’t know who the holding mid is in the 20’s ?.The below looks crazy !! but two holding mids with Holt buzzing around Wilson; Wilson adds height and is our best passing defender, either way for me we need a five man midfield as we unbelievably got over ran by Dundee.

                      Wes

    Tav    Bates   Hill    Wallace

          Holt          Wilson

    Mackay     Hydman      Halliday

                     Miller

     

  11. Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
     

    I sat and watched that game again in the early hours, (new baby loves to cry) watching again was excruciating but wanted to see if there was a glimmer of hope, I would say, considering how we finished the first half it is bewildering how we collapsed.

    It is quite obvious we have absolutely no back bone or steel in the team; Keirnan simply cannot start, Halliday cannot start as the holding midfielder…..if at all. So for me if these two fundamentals are not changed for Saturday or at minimum a formation change and he trots out the same team with all its inconsistencies, then MW really isn’t learning. Corporate sound bites 7 platitudes can’t smooth the results.

     I want him to succeed but he has to now show us something different, some flexibility, as doing the same thing over and over will drive us all insane.

    Oh goody another let's hate the players hate in! 

    I Must admit, I really want the style Warbs wants to play to be the way forward,in fact it is the way forward but last night you couldn't have been happy with that capitulation ? We gave up on the pitch and that is a leadership, behaviours can be learned and players should by now realise it's not acceptable to lose in that manor. I just don't think they 'get it'. So It's not a hate fest, it's frustration, Warbs said he wanted a team full of Rangers supporters playing for us, I didn't witness that last night.

    I've held the hope that MW could be the man. Said I'd give him this window and a few months to show improvement on 1st half of season. I'm holding onto my hope but coming to realise I'm likely wrong, he's not good enough.

    He relies on players too often and those players cost us - Halliday, Kiernan Tav. His subs very rarely make impact.

    We are so predictable to play against and lack leaders.

    He hasn't addressed really key deficiencies and has us weak all over the park. 

    Last night I saw in his face the look of a defeated man. He spoke words but his face said more.

    I don't think he's incapable of developing a team, of developing and making money on players, possibly just not here.

    It's taken too long for him to understand in Scottish football most games need battles won. That most teams hate us and want our scalp. This isn't Brentford where it's an non descript team to play, it's the Rangers and it's a final.

    He's had his transfer windows and opportunities and whilst I think he's been fucked over by the board I don't see that changing. And as such I don't see him being the man to be able to beat consistently the rest of the spl never mind bridge gaps with the bheast.

    Really disappointed in how it's panning out. He's simply not addressed the short term whilst rebuilding the longer term. And now understandably has lost the backing of the majority of support.

    I'll give him a bit longer but fully understand those wanting him gone. 

    I totally agree, i have defended him because of the brand of football he wants to play, i think when he gets it right it will be fantastic, but that long term thinking doesn't matter when you can't win the game in front of you. He doesn't get it yet, Winning matters more than anything.

    I watched the first Celtic game in years - that wasn't against us - last week and they were terrible, Hearts were worse obviously, ponderous and lacked imagination...and that is sad indictment of us. He either changes from Saturday or he will be gone soon, if that happens i hope the club don't abandon the footballing ethos, you never know, Warburton may finally try to marry football with a pragmatic approach, i won't hold my breath.

  14. Dear God – that what a brutal, ineffectual  performance, we had no steel, never mind flair, I understand that sometimes you have to swap one for the other, but last night  we had neither.

    Warburton mentions the squad a lot but some players appear undroppable and he needs to change that policy – I’m also unsure why he would spend 250K on a reserve keeper? Be as well getting rid of Kelly at Livingston if he isn’t good enough to be a reserve keeper.

    Keirnan: Needs to be swapped out for Bates, if Wilson isn’t fit & have Hill talk Bates him through games. Again having players for the future is fine but sometimes they need a chance. Senderos appears to be large window dressing.

    Halliday: Needs  either to be pushed forward or dropped completely, surely we have a defensive minded player in the holding mid position…. or just someone who can’t be pushed over by 19yr olds girls. We need a bully in there.

    Toral: Did absolutely nothing – I realise he needs to get fit, but that isn’t our job, he also struggles  without a strong player next to him and subsequently he disappeared.

    Those would be my first players to drop or at least re-position, although we need to flood the middle of the park if we can’t control the game with 3 players so a  4-2-3-1 with Garner up top would be my choice, if he doesn’t change Warburton will be gone.
