Wawrinka 88 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Not important at all tbhPromotion is all that matters. I'd accept a humiliating 1st stage Challenge Cup exit in exchange for winning the league by 20 points Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amato 3,016 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Honestly not even remotely bothered about winning the Petrofac. I'd rather we concentrate on league and Scottish cup. Use Petrofac early stages to experiment with the team etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooseman 889 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 In the 1921–22 season, Linfield FC achieved a clean sweep of all the domestic competitions they entered – the Irish League, Irish Cup, County Antrim Shield, Alhambra Cup, Belfast Charity Cup, Gold Cup and the City Cup Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Would be another embarrassment if we don't win the challenge cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Shaw 30,359 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We are Rangers, we should aim to win every competition we enter, for me winning the challenge cup is just as important as winning the Scottish cup or league cup. That's what makes us the greatest club in the world. Not winning the challenge cup in 4 attempts or failing to win the championship at the 2nd attempt would be a major riddy for a club of our stature.

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think it would be utterly embarrassing to not do it we have better standards than that winning every thing is what we aim too and accepting anything less would make us just another club.

50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 There's no reason why we shouldn't win both if Warbo puts together the right team and they hit the ground running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamie 4,831 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The challenge cup never bothered me in the slightest. It was a cup that should have been an opertuinity to play all the kids as i believe the rules are not as stringent as the other cups ie: must play full strength team etc. The challenge cup has been made into something it's not due to our bumbling buffoon ex manager.

buster. 1,114 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We enter it, we want to win it, simples.Would be good to get back into the habit of winning Cup Finals.However I have only three main aims for this season, to get promoted is a must, to see the infrastructure of the football operation being put together properly and for the first team to play entertaining, attacking football.

Gooseman 889 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Aren't there lower leagues/divisions/cups?The NIFL is a semi professional league, however I don't think that makes much difference. We have won more trophies than any other club in world football, does the fact that 54 of these 117 titles relate to winning a national league that is considered as a lesser league diminish the importance of them? I understand your point but I don't think it matters in the historic context. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
