gsa 3,906 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, perhaps it has but one thing that struck me on Sunday was when Brown stood in front of Diouf like that not one single Rangers player got in front of him or went over to intervene or pull him out the way. I understand that the players shouldn't get involved in altercations, etc but this team don't seem to stick up for or protect each other.If that happened to rooney at man u, giggs, fletcher, vidic, ferdinand would have been protecting him and having a go back. Pique and puyol are always quick to get involved when messi or iniesta is getting a hard time.We had a player targeted on sunday (doesn't matter that is was diouf, he is a rangers player) and none of his teammates seemed interested in giving him a bit of back up.Could you imaging gough, brown or ian ferguson taking that? Even in later years the likes of amoruso, ricksen, numan, etc showed more balls than this team seem capable of. If wally and sally can't motivate the players (or if the negative tactics are demotivating them) maybe some former players could let them knom it's ok to be a rangers player - you do not need to skulk around apologetically while celtic take the piss in our own ground.I don't want to ever stoop to their level but Wally and Sally need to stop trying to suck up to them. I hate to see rangres managers talking about "rangers and celtic" as though we are one and the same thing. Mcleish used to do it as well. Liewell, lennon, reid, etc show nothing but contempt for us, we should at least stand up for ourselves.I don't want to be as undignified as them but I think wally and sally are taking it too far, this everyone's friend attitude is not doing us any favours. Perhaps the players would show more balls if the management did? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Sasac 164 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 He's a big boy, he can stand up for himself. Brown's a cunt, but Diouf can handle him on his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkgers 3 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 McCulloch might of helped Diouf out, it was pretty horrible the treatment the African boy got with not a care in the world from his own fucking team mates!

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I don't think we've had a situation like that before where an opposition player has celebrated in one of our faces.I would hazard a guess they all wanted the game started again as quick as possible and Diouf's the last guy would need back up or want it.IMO this team do fight for each other,this being one example after Weiss is pushed over.

Brubear 2,927 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 If you have ever played football at any level you would know that immediately after a goal has been lost you are usually in your own world wondering what you personally could have done better to stop it. I doubt if any of our players even noticed what was going on until after the Broons team mates were taking him away. They automatically ran to him as the goal scorer.

gunslinger 270 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 ona side note i wonder if the vermin are in a huge huff because brown called naismith naisy and said he didnt dive at the penalty when the tv were clearly trying to insinuate it wasnt a pen.

He was also concerned with the fact celtic won the physical battle the whole game. Of further concern was our midfield seeming incapable of tackling. Finally neil lennon marching around the pitch at ibrox and celebrating with the celtic fans was something the o.p didn't miss.Obviously you feel the rangers players are full of fighting spirit and that their efforts were enough on sunday. Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
