The obligatory but belated Steve Simonsen thread.


Recommended Posts

He bottled it twice earlier in the game to come out to the ball. He was hesitant at the third goal, and Moshni (or Foster..i was so angry I cant remember) should have booted it out of play and took the flak for it, protecting the keeper who was clearly overwhelmed by the occasion.

think he's on 2k a week

what makes you think this, could you provide any proof?

He might be on something like that, and even if he was, thats only about 100k per year, that isn't a horrible wage for a decent back up goalkeeper at Rangers.

Compare that to Cribarri who is allegedly on close to 7k per week, thats over 3 times as much and he is totally useless.

Why would we give him game time when Cammy bell was playing fine and was fit? The ONLY reason simonsen got a start was because bell was knocked out earlier in the week and had a concussion.

Er, so he was ready when the call came?

Nothing to play for apart from the unbeaten run and preparation for the last 2 weeks.

Why wouldn't you?

The likes of Arsenal, City & United all give their 2nd string keepers game time.

Don't see why we're too big to do similar.

Actually the blame for our defeat lies with Referee Madden who allowed both teams to wear the same colour socks....(Black)....which was obviously responsible for firstly.. Fosters inability to distinguish this as he passed it to them leading to the second goal...and again with Black passing it to them from a free kick that in turn leads our goalie to pass to them in conceding the goal that cost us any chance of levelling......Why oh why didn't we wear our lucky white socks!!!....

Never had a chance with the first 2 goals, was slow in coming off his line all day. The ball should have been cleared before Cifti had the chance to pit him under any pressure.

Eh?he nearly made a cunt of 2 in the first half coming off his line when clearly he shouldn't have then the second have he stayed on his line for one he should have came out

Useless yesterday

Simmo is a great guy but sadly he has been a waste of a wage (through no fault of his own). I'd have preferred Gallagher as back up but no we send him to Airdrie where he made a few howlers and it had a demoralising affect. The lad couldn't even make saves from fat fucking Dundee United fans yesterday :craphead:

Couple of games wouldn't have killed anyone.

As I said, top EPL clubs aren't afraid to do it - why should we be?

Anyway, the fully fit Cammy made a right hash of the one thing he had to do last week, so an unbroken run hasn't done wonders for him has it?

I don't think it's fair to blame Simmo

In fairness, we were only a goal adrift due to a howler from their man.

But for that, had we gone in at HT 2 down, the 2nd half may have been a lot less close than it was.

Take out the howlers and it was 0-0 at worst, or 2-0 to us at the best.
