The Dude 20,026 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Are you really trying to claim the 3rd tier is on a level with the SPL?A fair number of SPL teams could give us a decent game on their day that can hardly be said of this league. We beat the 3rd place side 8-0 a week ago FFS and they are of a very similar quality to DunfermlineNo but the relative gap between us and the rest of the league is just as wide as its ever been. And I can remember watching us score 7 against teams in the spl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 A good number of people travel far further than from FifeWho cares? Whether you're travelling from ibrox or the fucking moon, we don't have a full strength squad to choose from. It's the correct decision.

Number6 229 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 No game at this level should ever be called off for the lack of a few players. It's not La Liga is itPlus some of us have jobs where leave is hard to get when you want itI have sympathy for you, I don't want to hear of anyone lose money in trying to support Rangers. However, it seems like you will be quite unique in that you live a several hours travel away and find it difficult to get time off work and have already booked your travel to the game. I don't believe any of that is the club's fault. In your position I'd be annoyed and angry but much of that would be at myself for not checking that there was potential for this game to be called off.If the game was cancelled 2 weeks ago because the Ramsden's Cup took precedence, would that still have meant you lost money?

Adoniram 1,919 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Merely reinforces the view that our young players are not to be trusted by McCoist. An ideal opportunity for players like Aird, McAusland, McKay, Faure, Clark etc to get some much needed game time. And spare me this pish about our hardest opponents and we need a full strength squad. Utterly pathetic arguments for a team that will come nowhere near us over the course of the season.And if we got beat then we get beat. We are 5 points ahead already and its only just in to October. We have more than enough players in the squad to play anyone in this league regardless of call ups.Cowards way out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

will2203 822 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Absolutely amazing how many are unhappy about changing a game when we do not have a full strength team against our nearest rivals. These are the same arseholes that would be moaning if we didn't win, who can pick the team better than the manager and want to see us win in style week in week out. Unfortunate for those who have made travel plans though but no of Rangers doing - international call ups are out with the clubs control.

I hardly get any weekends off and when I do it is not certain the game will suit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How fucking selfish is that?About as selfish as a man who takes £800k to manage saying he cannot manage the squad he insisted on signing. Only one player signed this season will be missing so we still have the other 7 he claimed would enable us to challenge for trophies and win the leagues we were in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
