Come on, they're not all bags of vomit. My best mate was one and he would applaud us when we beat them as he could appreciate when we were the best team and could enjoy watching good football. It was great to watch an OF game with him as we'd mock and slag off each other off for 90 minutes, then head to the pub together afterwards to get pished. No hatred or negativity, just 2 guys enjoying the greatest sport on earth.

The problem with Pacific shelf is that they let their club be represented by the lowlifes in their support. You know the ones like ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ, the shareholders who'd rather no sponsor rather than share one with us, the IRA lovers,the PLO lovers,the nationalists ,the poppy haters,the Queen haters,the British haters and the keyboard warriors. Let's for a moment assume your mate is not one of these and consider yourself a lucky man that he's not one of the majority who wish we were dead.

Oops, forgot to mention their Bhoys at war and effigies with Rangers scarfs,by fuc* they are a real bunch of charmers.

So they should give 120%?

 

If only is were possible, but it's not.

Take Kranjcar for example. I see plenty of posts that mention how he is not match fit, but what a player he will be when he is. Well. it isn't going to happen. He is what is called 'match fit' and he is giving 100% but compared to a few years ago when he was a Croatian international standard he is well off the pace (say 20%, or a yard slower).

These players signed by our manager are giving all they can (i.e. 100%) but it's 80% of what they were capable of in the past. MW has underestimated the SPL (or whatever it is called these days) and signing players who give a bit less than they gave when playing in the Premiership or wherever are not going to cut it playing for Rangers. We are not a club where players who cannot compete at the highest physical level  are welcome. We want the best and we demand the best. There will be no Messi or Ronaldo in our lineup but whoever does pull on the jersey should be able to compete on a physical level with whoever we play against. It is evident that some of our first team squad are slow of mind and off the pace whereas a few years ago they would have walked this league.

So it's the managers fault then.

Players age and invariably lose some of the legs/hunger/physicality and so on that made up their game.

If the guys are giving 100% then i'm not sure what more we can ask for tbh?

Niko admitted in his interviews he had been playing at a much more relaxed and laid back enviroment and when the chance of playing for a club like Rangers , with the demands and expectations that go with it, he couldn't say no.

He needs to sharpen up but his skillset is excellent and if we can fit him in he will be a key player.

Joey had a somewhat arrogant dismissive approach to Scottish football, his comments in the past proved it, he thought it would be a stroll and he has been found wanting.

Well it's obvious isn't it!

We obviously signed players on past reputations. They've shown they don't have it to compete at this level any more. The management signed them They messed up. They've got to sort it.

It's not a blame game here, it's about working out the best way forward.

[plumbGER 24,518]

The best way forward is for the manager to have a look at himself and realise teams have woken up to his style of play.

His ideals are great but we don't have the calibre of player to carry out the style he wants.

The bheggars flooded the midfield yesterday and won the battle in there.

Of their midfielders,only 1 to play decent was rogic but the others done enough to break up play and force the issue.

Teams will have watched that and employ similar tactics against us.
