ayrshireger 523 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Have to agree. Been thinking it for a few months now, well since the transfer window anyway. We did start well but once again the players went back into their shell once they cunts equalised. From there on in it was one way traffic. Simple fact is the management team don't have the tactical nous and leadership skills to see us through tough spells. I.e. take the decision to hook an underperforming player (Tav). Players in general don't have the balls to play for a team like us. They've got the mentality of scared wee boys at times. Biggest one though is in the boardroom, sorry South Africa. That cunt promised investment for this season yet it's nowhere to be seen. In the summer the tarriers brought in two players which are above the level required for this league, as much as it pains me to say. Meanwhile we are scouring lower English leagues for a bargain. A major shake up is needed before next season. And major investment as well for that matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Warburton is still the guy to take us forward, although im starting to waver slightly on that point. Transfers this year have been pretty awful, Barton and Kranjcar being the biggest examples Got to agree with you about the going for 55 stuff. Feel it was just a ploy to get as many season tickets sold as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,810 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Cunts were reckoning we were going to wipe the floor with them. We are physically weak when the going gets tough. Again, more failures than pass marks from a game. That includes MW with ridiculous substitution that handed them the midfield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times has he saved our faces this season? As for Tav; if you think he is good enough you must be watchimg a different player from me.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 For most of the players in the squad asking them to be something vastly better than they are may be a stretch too far. Sure some of them are still in developing potential mode and are capable of getting a lot closer to the sort of quality we need, but that is still a journey they are taking, McKay for example. We have a horse and buggy side which was capable of winning the Champioship, and did. That side is still essentially there but nowhere neat good enough quality overall to make a credible title challenge for this league and for OF games. The summer signings are, imo, not really producing the sort of quality needed to make immediate and consistent positive impact. None have been successful and money has certainly been wasted (Barton) or value lost (Kranjcar and Rossiter). The manager seems to think he is producing a side that is highly competitive. Many, including me, do not see evidence of this. His summer signings are failures so far. He does not seem to be able to coach players to score enough goals, prevent silly goals from being scored against us, or to eliminate the inconsistent performances or performances from one half of a game to the other half of a game. His talk may be a whole lot more than the leadership and management substance needed for a club of Rangers' stature. He say's he gets what it means for Rangers' supporters. I hope he does but so far it does not really shine out in terms of evidence of making vastly superior improvement to the side. We enter the business end of the season - that I think will be a measure of who has really got it and should be retained for next season and who can be released to find their level at lesser clubs.

Prso's headband 35,577 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I don't believe that the manager is an imposter or some of the players. The manager got the tactics spot on today IMO for the first 30 minutes we could have really taken the game to them, the mistake he made was keeping Tav on the pitch. The difference in quality was shown today with one simple reason. Look at what they done when we scored. They kept their heads up and still stuck it out before equalising. Every single time we concede the heads go down like the players believe they shouldn't be scored into. The mentality of most of our players is honestly pathetic. It isn't just against the tarriers it was the same on Wednesday night we just went through the motions when St J scored. That's what money buys most of the time, a bit of quality and the mentality to come back from losing a goal or two. When they scored it was 1-1 and our players reacted like they'd just scored 4. That is the problem. The imposters at that club are Halliday, Tav, Kiernan, Waghorn, Windass and Crooks. Halliday. Where to start. For a "Rangers man" he has shown no fight or desire or leadership qualities you expect. Ave never seen a Rangers man shite himself from so many tackles in my life yet again. Ave never seen a Rangers man look to the floor when ANY team scores against him. Rangers man this, Rangers man that, fucking awful. Tav just goes in a wee huff when things don't go his way so he barely tries. Kiernan is just a brutal player to watch. Summed up when our other two CBs are sitting on the half way line and he runs back 30 yards to get the ball from the keeper n loses it. Pathetic. Waghorn is the same as Tav as soon as things don't go his way he spits the dummy. He's also a greedy cunt. Windass is missing the drive and directness he showed at the start of the season. Crooks is a fucking joke. The games 0-0 and this imposter swaggers out for his warm up trying to have a big carry on with Forrester. That's fucking pathetic and probably why he doesn't play. Completely unprofessional IMO and one of the things that really gets to me. The other imposters are the ones sitting in the directors box or in a South African wine cellar.
