plymouthranger 3,872 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Let's see what our players and management are up to. It's the biggest game of our season, lose it and this season will be a failure in many fans eyes regardless of what we do with the rest of the year. We've spent big, nows the time to justify it.Hopefully if theres 50,000 at Ibrox roaring them on, there'll be no possibility of a defeat. Tonight is a night where the performance is irrelevant, just progession is required.If I back Ally for any part of his management, its to grind out results. We need it now more than ever. No Surrender, c'mon the Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 71,892 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 AYe and there is no chance it will be anywhere near 50K, maybe 25-30 if we are lucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hard to believe that Rangers fans think the performance is important in cup football. We ground out 5 cups in 4 years under Walter, do you think if, IF, we end up winning it anyone is going to give a fuck how we played against Dunfermline in the 5th round?

plymouthranger 3,872 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 To be honest, I think we'll pump them handsomely (excuse my Janner).Ally should have the players really wound up for this, if we get a goal within the first 10minutes they'll crumble and it could be a cricket score.Sadly I won't be at the game, but I know in my heart of hearts that the attendance will be pish. Strange, as its such an important game. I remember going to see us vs. Red Star a few years back (Novo last minute winner), stadium was only 2/3rds full, yet it was probably the most important tie of our season. Can't understand football fans some times.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the team do need to start to 'perform' soon though, it's fine grinding out results against top teams. Don't think its acceptable to do it against the dung of leagues 1 and 2 and if we do, we certainly won't be able to make the step up when we meet a better side.

gogzy 31,195 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'd be delighted if we go out tonight, play good passing football and demolish this mob by 5 or 6 goals.I'd be just as delighted to win 1-0 in a scrappy game.both mean we go into the next round, and that is all that matters in cup competition.

At no point do you watch and just think 'this is shite'? Or does scraping wins against lower league teams hold the same level of satisfaction for you as going out and absolutely steam rolling a team?

LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 With regards to ticket sales, I don't expect the number to be good as the game is on the tele.http://www.rangers.talent-sport.co.uk/PagesPublic/ProductBrowse/standAndAreaSelection.aspx?stadium=IB&product=T14E03&campaign=&type=H&productsubtype=Doesn't look good, bearing in mind the Club Deck is closed tonight.

Or does scraping wins against lower league teams hold the same level of satisfaction for you as going out and absolutely steam rolling a team?Of course I do sit and think "this is shite" quite often in the past 4-6 weeks actually.And no, scraping wins against lower league teams does not give me the same satisfaction that steamrollering these teams do. We have steamrollered pretty much everyone at least once this season and i was very happy to watch that.We have played well in spells and i was very happy to watch that.We have won every single game ( bar one), and with that I am reasonably happy ( without being overjoyed).But this is a cup game, I'd have been happy to win1-0 in a scrappy game against dumfermline..even when we were in the SPL and under other managers. It's cup football, it's all about progression. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanger 625 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I've got a feeling that we will play good football tonight. We have decent players and at some point it has to click. Tonight would be a good time for some of our lads to shine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
