To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 That's what it's all about. Nothing else. The match day threads are great but hard going sometimes with the criticism. Probably guilty of it myself 😊. We play some great football at times but if it comes down to silky soccer and not winning vs a turgid 90 mins where we win, I'll take the drab hard fought game any time. A deflected goal and a poor performance tonight, but when do we ever play good on these surfaces. Very very rarely. But we won. We're in the semi. Won't have to play another cup game on the rubber surface they call astro in his country. We're looking good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 52,129 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 All true. But it's also fair to say we could / should have been down to 10 men, were bullied and gave chances right through the middle of our defence, and can consider ourselves fortunate to be through. On another night, we wouldnt have been. So aye. But naw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandRoad83 3,034 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Have said a few times already this season, "thats a game we would have lost last year". Hopefully a good sign and not papering over deficiencies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably our best performances last year. 2 points from 6 🤢 Nah we are slightly papering over cracks mate.

But if you or anyone else wants to just gloss over that shite and say enjoy it as we won, ignore performances and obvious failings, then that's up to you. I'm not as easily pleased.

Even with the shite and disappointment we've been through I am not glossing over anything. I know where we are not performing and I'm sure Gerrard knows it too. But there's huge pressure on us winning the league. A cup before Christmas would boost confidence no end. As I said, I don't care how we do it, just keep winning.

GA1972 8,232 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Its true that the win is the only thing that’s important but we can’t/won’t win anything if we continue to struggle through every game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 3,724 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I totally agree 3 points or a win in tonight's case is all that matters. I just don't think we can sustain defending so poorly and continuing winning games. We're giving teams like Livingston and St. Johnstone two or three chances against us. I'm not asking for perfection but something a little bit more convincing on a more regular basis because the early going suggests that ourselves and celtic aren't going to drop many points this season.

Blue Avenger 22,566 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 A Massive result, but our weaknesses are obvious and repeatedly now from the same offenders. There were four players out there who have been shit since the start of the season. We all know who they are. We have been riding our luck. How long can that last is the question? Or ask another. Do we look like a title winning team? Are all the players showing that winning mentality? It takes a strong manager to bench his favourites! I'll leave it at that.

Drumloyal 14,314 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 We were shit and I didn't enjoy that game; however, I'll take 1-0 wins like that all season long. It'll reduce my lifespan by about 10 years but it's a price I'm willing to pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
