Dibble 25 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think Simonsen should get another chance in goals. He was brilliant in the one game he played. And, I've been imagining the scenario where we meet Aberdeen in the Scottish cup and thinking "who would I rather have in goals"For me, Simonsen has the age, experience and presence for a big occasion like that. I think he'd relish itJust my opinion and I totally accept others will prefer BellMy big game team would be...SimonsenFoster, McCulloch, Mohsni, WallaceBlackLittle, Law, McLeod, TempletonShiels Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calzmcm 7 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Your team is missing one gyarenteed starter! Daly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 He's number 2 and will remain so until Cammy is injured or loses form.I'm ok with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 You may well be right but we have only saw him in one game.I would rather have seen Gallacher in goal rather than Bell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Robot 21,398 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I can't really push him getting a place after one performance and one fantastic save. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibble 25 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I would leave Daly out with the option to bring him on later in the game. I like the idea of three pacey guys full of energy (Little, Shiels, Templeton) running at the Aberdeen backlineRegarding Simonsen, I just think he would have the edge for the big occasion Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE 4,880 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Cammy Bell, experienced SPL keeper who was the main reason Kilmarnock won the league cup against the tarriers vs Simonsen, Dundee Utd sub goalkeeper who pulled off one outstanding save for us.Easy choice.

That was some save you made to be fair but ultimately you are short term cover! Good (albeit IMO unnessecary) cover for bell but bell is first choice end of!

RangersFanBase 611 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I like that team, although Foster at right back would be a big no-no. He's shite, Faure's actually better at RB believe it or not.As for Simonsen, we've only seen him in one game, and he pulled off a wonder save sure, but he's only ever been a sub goalkeeper in the SPL for Dundee, vs Cammy Bell who was number 1 for Kilmarnock, and between the sticks when they beat the tarriers to win the cup. So for me Cammy Bell would be first choice any-day unless we seen Simonsen in action again, and he pulled off more wonder-saves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't think we need him and Bell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimoo 1,481 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I would go with Bell he is a good Goalie and Simonsen can't be given a place based on 1 good save. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiwan72 28 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's nice to have a choice from two good keepers.to be fair we've always had great keepers. Gorum, klos, watereus, mcgregor, Alexander, woods n now bell n simensen. Did we not sign anti niemi at one point? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Tin hat on here but I think Daly does a lot of unsung work in the Rangers Team. Including defending at corners.He's not a great player by any stretch of the imagination but I think he keeps opposition centre halfs occupied and creates space for others. Please be gentle with me!

Dibble 25 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Muirheadbear, I think you're spot on but I just wondered if a pacy attack might have more impact against the top teams Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilstonloyal 186 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Foster is the worst right back I have ever seen at this club that's how highly a rate him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Muirheadbear, I think you're spot on but I just wondered if a pacy attack might have more impact against the top teamsI think against a tiring defence that it would.I think in a final against Aberdeen or such like Ally would stick temps on the bench if McLeod is fit and firing.Not saying I agree with that but it's what I think Ally would do for that above reason.

Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Foster is the worst right back I have ever seen at this club that's how highly a rate himCould be another tin hat shot here but I actually think Faure has come onto a game in recent weeks.Not the complete full back but defends quite well. Still think he could help in an attacking sense a bit more but hopefully that can develop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersFanBase 611 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just looked up Steven Preben Arthur "Steve" Simonsen, and to be honest - His CV isn't all that impressive, the way some of you were commentating in here saying he played at the highest level, he really didn't if we're being honest, you just have to look at the number of appearances he made for those clubs and the clubs in question aren't that impressive: Tranmere Rovers, Everton, Stoke City, Sheffield United, Preston North End, Dundee. - Mostly lower league/relegation zone clubs, with the exception of EvertonAnd he only made about 30 appearances all in for Everton, maybe these clubs all know something we don't - Maybe he's just destined to be a number 2.
