markem 7,284 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 However I like this talk: “But there is one thing you need to understand. There are wars and if I want to get into that war I will go until the end, either if I die or if I win. No surrender Pedro! Full article: PEDRO CAIXINHA will pick his battles. When he chooses to fight, there is no turning back. The Rangers manager declined the chance to engage in a war of words with Conor Sammon, the Kilmarnock striker, but he will be on the front line at Pittodrie tomorrow afternoon. It is a contest that his side must win if they are to stand a chance of overhauling Aberdeenand finishing second in the Premiership. The contest to be best of the rest is not the one that Rangers wanted to be embroiled in this season. Having punched below their weight under Mark Warburton, Caixinha now has to pick his squad up off the canvas. His call to name the starting line-up for the trip to Kilmarnock in midweek was questioned before the goalless draw and criticised afterwards. Striker Sammon labelled the move as ‘disrespectful’, while Rugby Park boss Lee McCulloch admitted he changed his plan of attack after learning of Caixinha’s blueprint. Whatever his decisions, Caixinha will stand by it. Once his mind is made up, he will not deviate. “I think when something is different from normal life, from the monotony, everyone takes a step back and says 'what is going on',” Caixinha said.

I think he is too smart to fall for their shite. Every word in there is a direct piss take to his press conference earlier about "casualties of war" and "collateral damage" .... as you say Scotty mate "lazy anti-Rangers shite".

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Jig adjusting his team after seeing Pedro's line up was a bit daft. Pedro could've named an entirely different team on the day. I remember years ago we had 4 players down with a flu bug, that was doing the rounds, and 2 out injured, the day before the game. When the team was, officially, announced 5 of the players were either in the team, or on the bench. Pedro could've been playing 'Mind Games', he maybe was? I love it when managers play mind games with each other, it's like chess, and football, all rolled into one. It's great when you win both, but rotten if you lose both.

It's not a pisstake, it's just a running theme of the article based on what Pedro said. If Caixinha had said "football is like a dance" instead of war, the whole article would have dancing references in it ("Rangers ready to tango with Aberdeen", "Caixinha has yet to show us his best moves" etc). When an article is unfair or biased we should complain, but not for articles like this. Cheers for letting us know. Send me a PM when you think I should get the pitchfork out.

Yes I do .... but now you are on the case (my case actually ) i will now wait for direction from you, so that I don't fall foul to your interpretation of "Scottish sports journalism". I promise I will now wait for you to post first in future .... just so that I can agree with your opinion before I post mine ... which of course you can rip to shreds if it helps with you with your sad attitude towards other peoples opinions and of course your ongoing inferiority complex. I hope i have diagnosed your problem accurately .... so please feel free to crouch somewhere in a corner and weep for a few days ... believe me it will help. Your opinion would normally attract my curiosity .... but I'm afraid in this case not one single tiny solitary fuck was given ...... ❤️ Thought for the day ..... Opinions are like arseholes ... everybody has one .... in this case your opinion or arsehole is larger than most. Only my opinion mind .....

Guest Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I don't know what's worse, releasing the squad list early, pumping your fist at a crowd or chipping the ball over an opposition player. The club needs cleansed our players and staff are out of control and it's shameful to say the least Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think PC is deliberately trying to cause controversy and wants to be at war with everyone. Mourinho does it with his teams and instills this us vs them mentality. He seems to have the same coercive management style going by what we've seen so far. I feel like he knows exactly what he's doing and by slating him the media are playing right into his hands.

trueblueal 2,117 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Pedro knows what he is doing. He's concinving the players they are better than they are and at the same time creating a storm to show them the outside world wants us to fail. It's not new but it can be effective. Naming our team, naming theirs. The 'we are Rangers' mantra. It all goes to show we are above them. He wants the players to think that way Our Pedro is a ruthless hard man. I'm convinced he is making do and in the summer we will see around 6 changes plus youths come in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's done that before, I just started a thread with a link where it talks about a time where he essentially tore his cup winning team apart and got rid of his 'best' mist experienced players, reduced the average age of the squad to 23.5 and did even better than the season before Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
