I'd reckon KM is one of the fittest at club...

Played well as did the much criticised Wilson beside him.  Unusually it was the work at the back that was the highlight.  Ok they did not have a great deal to do but that is the challenge they face, staying switched on when they have little defending to do for long periods.

I seriously doubt whether some on this thread are actually Rangers fans.

We struggled in the second half, compared to the first, but it wasn't as if Raith were running all over us.

We get the same posters after a narrow win or draw saying how terrible we are, how we'd be destroyed in the top league. Well, we are currently 8 points clear and completed bossed the first half of the match. Anyone would think these fans want to have something to moan about.

Onwards and upwards as they used to say in the Boardroom section.

Because of the way we play it's fine margins that dictate whether we give teams a hiding or have a narrow victory like tonight,I thought our final ball was just a bit off tonight but we were solid at the back and merited our win.

Who the hell said we played great? However, winning 1-0 doesn't mean it is ok to rant about how x, y, and z would beat us.

Even the NIAR team and Advocaat's boys were poor in some  games.

It has been referred to earlier as a 'great win'.

Who raised the 'played great' bit?

Who's ranting - apart from you?

2 goals conceded in 6 matches.

 

fair play to the defence ?

needs dropped for a couple of games to give him a boot up the arse imo (Waggy that is)

he maybe needs a rest. But not a boot up the arse.

[tayside 295]

Great 3 points but seriously could someone explain what that waste of a jerzey fae Arsenal brings to the team , a complete waste of oxygen .

 

 

[sandyinroyalblue 16,478]

Does anybody know if Waghorn is playing with a slight injury?,just didn't seem to be running that freely in the past couple of games.

you might be right, but he's still getting on and that counts for something

Thought he had taken a slight knock early in the game but didn't seem to deter him but hopefully all fine

Watched him closely on Saturday, he looked heavy legged..

I think you could be on to something.

There are lads out there who average about 24 games a season - and they've done that already!

Hopefully the new additions will allow a bit of 'freshening up'.

just a phrase mate think hes went a bit flat recently,would never want to actually kick that magnificent derriere

[Bears r us 30,794]

The second half was not great, but still had a few chances to score.

Another three points on a cold night on a shite pitch away from home will do for me.

14 scored and 1 conceded in last 5 league games.  3 of those away.

 

Its not bad reading

[Prso's headband 35,440]

Waggy is so much more effective through the middle. Decent 3 points. Onto the next one.

He seemed to be feeling something around his knee/thigh area quite early on. 

Don't if it was just a knock or something tear or pull related.

[sammy cox 664]

For the first time in a long while I think the ref tonight wasn't to bad as well made a change from the usual pish weve had recently

The way we play we are going to score goals but it also leaves defenders exposed.

we look a lot more solid now..

Think he's trying too hard to be like Warburton, not kidding anyone.

He's certainly ran himself into the ground on several occasions maybe a wee rest would help him get his sharpness back.

>>It has been referred to earlier as a 'great win'.

By who? It was a good result, but not a 'great win'

>>Who raised the 'played great' bit?

You said "Seriously wonder about the credentials of those who think 1-0 at Raith is great as well!". I concede that you didn't say "played great".

>>Who's ranting - apart from you?

Me ranting? Puhleeeeeze.

With regard to your question :- RonnieMCA or whatever his name is was having a good go at it earlier, as well as a number of others who I can't be bothered to track down.

This forum is boom or bust at times and it drives me nuts.
