Bighouse 1,012 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Id rather we tried to play passing football instead of having an Ian Black-esque carthorse running about kicking people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have players pulling out of challenges, we need to be better at winning the ball. Then we can pass teams off the park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get nasty we are being bullied.You did read what I said right? At the first sign of aggression, one of our players would get booked. Also being nasty isn't how you go about a professional business. I would get fired if I was rude/nasty to my customers. As a Ranger, our boys know how to conduct themselves. At that you can very easily see outburst of aggression from time to time, especially from Waggy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxholm 2,281 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Don't agree. There may have been a number of issues with our play today but didn't think we lacked commitment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,639 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Don't you mean Holt Bridge ?IMO Halliday wins most of the tackles he goes in for,cracking player playing in the wrong position unfortunately.Would love to see a proper DM playing behind him and Holt,they two have been fantastic signings.

Young Bob 1,360 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 That did make me laugh. Was originally considering Jim Denny, who would have tackled a brick wall for the cause, rather than Meister Hurlock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 For so much of the match we were second to the ball. No one took a leadership role, apart from the goalkeeper, and that is a concern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may have been a number of issues with our play today but didn't think we lacked commitment.Just caught up on this thread, we did lack commitment, shat out of tackles, going by MW's latest interview, looks like he agrees with my view.

We shat it from 50/50 tackles the Falkirk players didn't.We need to toughen up and get stuck in and win these tackles all over the pitch without being rude/nasty (lol) to the opposition players, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making nasty tackles like what Gibbons done to Oduwa will surely get us red carded. Rangers always get shat on by the refs, Waggy got booked for a player damn near ripping his shirt off. Kiernan got sent off for 5 minutes because his shirt got ripped off and he was just coming back on. Meanwhile, you've got players making ankle snapping tackles at our players who don't even get a verbal warning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying we need to resort to nasty tackles but pulling out of a 50/50 challenge is not on.And when we are penalised unfairly then we need to come out strongly and put pressure on the shite refs,it worked for the filth across the city.The quit dignified silence on these matters do us no favours.

Wallace does a good job at times too. Tav use to but he's last his touch a bit. McKay as a winger does do a good job. The biggest problem is is people focus on the bad more so than the good. I've seen all our players doing more good than bad except Clark and Oduwa/Gedion to a lesser extent, though the latter does have good skill that can offer a new offensive route Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
