MacLeod misses tomorrow's game

No great loss IMO as it will force McCoist to go with two natural wingers like first half against Brechin and that will be a much better set up for us

[UKIP BEAR 370]

Yep cause she getting them delivered on Friday afternoon which she just so happens to be working, and where I stay would struggle to get down in time for the game

Get them delivered to her work mate and let her carry them home.

You get yourself to Ibrox.

Great idea, then he could have a nice quiet weekend and come Monday night, a leg over. Simples.

She told next round I am going if anything breaks fuck it, can bloody wait

[bornabear 6,202]

I wish lol, she is a vicious bugger, broken nose off her once or twice when been winding her up, probably get a broken jaw if I slapped her

That's the trouble marrying a Banff girl

[novosleftboot 6,285]

Can appreciate that view just don't entirely agree not for a tie like this anyway

So, if a fairy godmother appeared before you this afternoon and offered you the choice between a dull as fuck match but a guaranteed win or an absolute belter but only a 50-50 chance of progression, which would you take?

[laudrupno1 3,932]

I'll go for 3-0 Rangers Hopefully a good game from the off

[topgoalie 637]

Some pathetic excuses on here...lol.

[rosco_g88 73]

Think it'll be a scrappy one tonight, going for a 1-0 or a 2-1 but tbh I'd bite your hand off for that right now the way we're playing.

All about getting into the draw for the next round.

It's cold and I have a curry waiting for me when I get in!!!

Guaranteed win every time. Can't imagine many Rangers fans taking the other option.

Indeed. I'm interested to hear simplythebest's response, though.

You want the guaranteed win but I don't think the win should be under any question in this particular instance.

It's probably just because we have that many horrid matches these days that i'm talking like this because I understand the nature of cup football and really want us to have a good run.

[The Godfather 71,874]

I reckon he feels since we have turned them over in the past and that we have a far better team while playing at home he expects and wants them to actually show us some football and go through.

Of course a win and progression is all that matters but a wee bit of entertainment for those turning out should also be warrented.

Aye this really especially because we entertain so little these days, this is the third home game in a row and the first two have been horrid apart from one decent first half against Brechin.

I'll be delighted with progression but if it's another struggle with the same problems of late I'll let it be known how I feel.

[bump 168]

2-0 win for us :thumbup:

Of course the win could be under question. Yes, we're favourites and should win, but we still have to go out and earn the victory.

Plus with a high chance of playing a top flight team next round assuming we do go through it would be nice for the team to give us some sort of confidence back.

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

We've crashed out of enough cups recently. Fuck the performance, progression to the next round is all that matters.

[simplythebest 11,453]

We have to do that every league game in theory though and although the performances are terrible I still want us to win those games, I think there has to be room for performance and result certainly when we have a certain level of opposition anyway.

I do know where you're coming from mate but if it's another dreadful game I know i'm unlikely to come on here saying it doesn't matter because it was a cup game.

[Getstiffed 8,863]

This is a cup tie and I expect it to pan out like most other cup ties.

[The Godfather 71,874]

2 periods of 45 minutes of football with a fifteen minute break inbetween?

[plymouthranger 3,872]

True, tonight is just a time for winning regardless of performance. Something I back Ally to do, much like Walter before him
