Taking off our best players on 60 minutes

[Wawrinka 88]

The biggest annoyance of the season by far. 

[JukeBoxJohn 3,060]

Dodgy defence being our weak point is the only annoyance.

[Coplandbear11 1,087]

And putting Nicky Fûcking Clark on. Not gonna start slaughtering MW at all but that was baffling. Clark could score 30 goals this season and I'd still not take to him. Fucking useless. 

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

You would be praising him if we closed out the game/played youngsters etc.

Blame the defence.

 

[Bearsden bear 2,376]

We had plenty enough on the park to see out the last 1/2 hour against Falkirk.

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

The whole team were pish second half. 

[Steely 58]

Soon as Miller went off it went downhill

[aitch12 47]

No need for substitutions. Invited Falkirk back in.  Interesting to see how Hippolyte focuses on tavs side. Being found out a bit defensively! I'd expect to see other teams following this approach. Think that'll be the last game we lose this season.

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,418]

Nah. 3 subs were made not 11.

We were great in the first half but our players were too laid back defensively in the second half. 2 of their goals were due to poor Rangers clearances. The 3 points dropped were down to pure shite defending IMO.

[VladimirWeiss69 802]

It was the defence that Cost us this game. Ball, Wilson,Halliday, Kiernan and Tav were dreadful to say the least.

We were 2 up going on 5 and absolutely cruising, if it was such a ridiculous thing to do then why did you not back Falkirk to win?

[Marky. 6,926]

Didn't look like they had the best of attitudes in the second half, and that will disappoint the manager more than anything.

Nothing wrong with taking McKay off when 2-0 up at all. Game should still have been seen out.

The defending and poor attitude and lack of intensity annoyed me.

[sergio 1,199]

Watching the Interview, MW said we put on 3 attacking players like for like. Which is true, but we were 2-0 up and didn't need it. maybe Law for Ball and let Halliday go back deep, we threw that away hopefully it wont be so costly.

[KeyserSoze 14,532]

Our system is so tight bringing on three players in quick succession upsets it and swings the balance of play to the opposition. Yes our defence was poor but we were in control until the subs. 

[bluewhitevanman 1,619]

Works mostly every other week but it didn't come off for us tonight. I hope every1 calms down and realises it's only a defeat and we have an excellent manager who will have us sorted with some better players in mind for next season, I shouldn't come on here after a defeat as I hate seeing the management team and our players getting slaughtered, we will be ready for the tims and it might be a blessing in disguise as MW will make sure out team is sorted to play them and tighten up the defence and with 25000 of us roaring them on it will be no sweat to the players. 

[Dickie 12,905]

Why make substitutions just for the sake of it. It's as if an alarm goes off after 60 mins and it's all change. Compare their subs to ours and the difference is frightening

Probably because the league's won and the manager is trying to give the entire squad as much game time as possible.

Clark isn't a youngster he's clearly pish and had more than enough chances,ridiculous decision bringing him on

People were moaning at the way the Falkirk players were going into challenges in the match thread. We take off two players and replace them with Forrester who's been excellent lately and MOH our most expensive signing in the squad. There was nothing wrong with those two decisions and Clark was on to save Miller's legs, we can't afford to lose McKay or Miller for the SF. Subs were fine IMO.

Clark should never be near a Rangers jersey he's utter shite!

Mate he's been praised more than every other manager apart from Smith and rightly so but he got it wrong tonight doesn't make him a bad manager but criticism where criticisms due,I'm sure he'll know this more than anyone tho

Aye he made a mistake, he should have seen we were losing the mid field second half and strengthened that, when your 2 up you don't need to go chasing more goals.

I meant 60 minute subs aren't normally slated and if we had brought on a 17 year old and managed to see the match out at 2-0, no-one would have complained.

Defending cost us, not the subs, it shouldn't alter the flow of the game either, they thought the match was won and were given a swift reminder that the match lasts until the final whistle.
