Alendrin 298 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 hi guys, i don't post often on here, i read alot though...some fans seem to forget what we have come through to get back into the top flight, it was awful... we stumbled to victory to victory in the lower divisions under mccoist, last season with warburton was awesome but it was the championship, which led to an increased expectation that we were gonna challenge the scum, both in the way we were playing and how badly they were, not working out that way thus far, yes we are not as good as i thought we were gonna be...but am i the only guy that thinks it would take a couple of seasons to challenge in the first place?

BlueBearz1990 570 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 We should easily be hammering the likes of Hamilton and Killie with the squad we have. Dropping 4 points already to weak teams is unacceptable. Regardless of our chance to win the league first time round, we should be sitting on 12 points right now. The only positive is that some players will be found out who aren't fit to wear the Rangers jersey at this level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtanian 252 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I think we can challenge this season no problem if we get a half decent centre half that's all we are missing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdylaniscrap 121 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Obviously we want to challenge and not be a potential 1 point or a massive 7 points behind by mid-September. The football being played at present is the opposite of what was served up on Warburton's arrival that is the main reason for the discontent it's went from fast and exciting to slow and ponderous. imho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking kinda the same after I came to terms with Fridays result. We should be expecting to beat Hamilton and killie but it's 10 new signings in a new league with no preseason. W & W need time. Which is of the essence at a club like rangers. Patience guys it will click soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Nah I'm sorry I keep hearing this talking about the shite times under McCoist and it's true but we can't use this to excuse current failures. I don't do my perspective this way. We should always want to be doing better. I didn't think it would take a few years to compete either. I always said with a wee bit of investment (investment that's not happened yet) then we should compete just fine. It will be interesting to see what the excuses will be next season if we are still putting together a team of freebies and English lower league players. At some point we need to spend. Spend wisely that is. We need to get back into the Champions League group stages. The taigs have just got 20 odd million there. We can't have these financial gaps forever. In fact every 1 single season they are in it that we aren't damages us more than people think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the centre half positions is a must imo I would say we need two. Hopefully Garner can step up to the plate and Waghorn coming back from injury only helps things Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Before a ball was kicked this season everyone thought we would be challenging Celtic for the title. Now an increasing number of folk are assuming this 'it was always going to be unrealistic' stance. It's easy to change your position after the fact. Utter nonsense being spouted either way.

bluenose_n1 536 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 What people are forgetting is that we are the biggest scalp in this league everybody is out to beat us we all know we have started slow but I think when waggy,windass holt and crooks are back we will be ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,832 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 This new signing pish does ma head in. 7 who started last year started on friday. In the three games before that it was 8.

dogtanian 252 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I can't believe some people on here are writing us off after only 3 league games. There is still a lot of football to be played yet and nobody has won anything. I accept we haven't played our best and the defence is a cause for concern but there is still a long way to go.

superallysbears 8,219 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Even if the smelly bastards do go 7 clear they've still no won the league, "brendas never won nothing" lets go and fuck them in their own midden.

If you're talking about the friendly against Linfield as the next game then I'd be fucking horrified if we didn't see a visable improvement Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
