Is getting right on my tits

Stop it. Stop it now.

[Papa Sasac 164]

Yup, said this myself. Too little, far too late. No one can do anything in the amount of time he is given.

[Ross Mackay 0]

Who else do we bring on? We brought on kyle to add an extra striker looking for a goal

[Zappa6995 3,686]

Shocking decision to leave it so late, he should have come on at 1-0 if not sooner but that's Walter for you I'm afraid

It's the same in every game; Lafferty is brought on with between 5 and 10 minutes remaining. We don't play any differently because of it, it's the epitome of a hope for the best change

Yes I agree a dont know why walter leaves it so late. But hey we were unlucky against Valencia home and away! if naismith had scored both his chances that hit the post then it was an entirely different game but valencia were the better side

Foster for either McCulloch or Weir who were verging on an embarrassment.

Change it because it wasn't working and the game was slipping away if not gone completely

[Jocky Broon 207]

The question is who do you take off? We havent got the bench and it meant we had to sacrifice a defensive midfielder.Lets just accepy the better team won but with a bit of luvk we would have got 2 goals tonight and we would have beaten them at Ibrox.Dont see the fans still in the Stadium complaining.They are singing their heads off.

I don't know why Smith can't make substitutions at 50/60 mins or thereabouts instead of waiting till the dying seconds when we're chasing the game.

We were 2-0 down with nothing to lose, why not give Fleck, Hutton et al a chance once we were 2-0 down, anyaway, plus that would have would allow us to rest players for the weekend.

Couldn't agree more with this. No-one can say that the guys on the bench wouldn't have provided something if they came on. Especially at 2-0 and a good few of our players tiring. Everytime Hutton plays in the SPL, he gets rave reviews. i know it's a completely different level, but why not give him, or someone else a chance to prove that they ARE good enough. We will never know until they get that chance.

"Oh fuck you Walter, make some changes ya pick"

"Oh fuck sake Walter, why you bringing on a differnt player?"

It annoyed me how Crocker and Provan continuously went on that the options on the bench weren't good enough. How the fuck do we know if we don't give them a chance? With all due respect to Walter, he isn't the best manager in the world at bringing youth through. You can't judge how good a player is by watching him train, the way a young player reacts by playing in big games is what they should be judged on, as everyone reacts differently to being thrown into the limelight, it may well make them play better than they ever have before.

[Raligt 2,541]

Didn't see the point in him coming on at all. was half an hour too late.

[theweebluenose 4,335]

What else could we have done? I agree it was a futile decision that late but we don't exactly have a bench brimming with talent.

[Amac9 2,060]

Who are we to question Walter Smith but his substitutions are so predictable now.

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

As predictable as the Nacho Novo 70 minute substitution.

Crap

[delparlane 5,753]

One of the Great Mysteries of Life, whose age dwarfs that of The Callanish Stones.

[StevenDavis 112]

Making substitutions hasn't really been Walters strong point, but he gets them right sometimes.

No point bringing on Lafferty with 9 minutes to go. Miller wasn't offering alot up top by his self imo and we should have taken a different approach to the second half. Edu was blowing out his arse aswell and should have been subbed for Fleck.

We're usually not getting beat so there's rarely any need.

And that bench was too young for Smith to 'trust' in a Champions League game, we all know that. Lafferty and Foster were the only outfield players that would have had a sniff of getting on.

Didn't he bring on Fleck in Unirea when we were 1-0 up?

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

Its always the same

Stop it. Stop it now.

It's getting tedious, we all said that tonight! But we all know how subs work at Rangers there is no masterplan behind them.

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

Should have went for Weiss and Lafferty for last 20.

[papaguy51 912]

Didn't he bring on Fleck in Unirea when we were 1-0 up?

I think he did, but Fleck had no chance of getting a single minute tonight after the season he's had with injuries.
