Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Than this current team? Lack of ability can be overcome. Lack of heart and fight can’t. Im 46 and I don’t recall a Rangers team so lacking in fight. Its harder to take than simple lack of talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of teams have had no heart .Just not as often .I put it down to the individuals that he continually plays .And it’s spreading like a cancer throughout the squad .I’m putting my hand over my mouth ,so no one can lip read 🤔😞 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,178 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The squad before the Holmes revolution; full of dud signings like this squad. I remember leaving so many games almost in tears thinking our club was finished as a top team. The club then was a shambles but now I think if we had a decent recruiting policy not what seems to be different inputs we should not be continually embarrassed by bottom six teams.

Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 If less heart you mean absolute bottle merchants when there is any pressure or expectation on us then I’d say this is the worse I’ve witnessed in my time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,148 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Early 80's springs to mind, but I still think they had more bottle. We were just shit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 41,914 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The same teams since McCoist took over. Bottle job after bottle job. Before that? Le Guens lot. Before that? The should have been 10 in a row season. Then back into the 80s. Our history is full of shitebag teams. We just forget until we are shite again.

Perth_Campsie_Ger 17,865 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 We lack a couple of born and bread fan who are fighters in the squad. I wish Halliday was a quality midfielder who could have took that role., we need someone like Barry Ferguson who is demanding players up their game the whole game. Gerrard says we have a team full of leaders, I wish one of them would stand up and take control of the situation, I don't think too many leaders is a good thing.

LegendofCoop 17,148 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 It's strange too, as the boss appears to have plenty heart and emotion for the job in hand (at least in front of the camera anyway.....I can't imagine he's any less so in the dressing room). The players just genuinely seem to have chucked it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,359 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Comparable spending, nope not in my lifetime, im 38 and as far back as I can remember we'd at least see some fight in our team Its absolutely depressing given that theres a squad of us on this forum that could probably have gave hearts a tougher game tonight On field it starts with the captain, our shitebag one has cost us so many fucking times its ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 If people want to make these overdramatic threads about how this is the worst and most heartless team ever then that’s fine but at least sleep on it first before stating it because it isn’t even close to being any of those things. We had a team a few years ago that finished third in the Championship, lost 6-1 to Motherwell in the play offs and conceded 3 goals in 20 minutes to blow a 2 goal lead to Alloa in the Challenge Cup. That’s as bad as it gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearInTheToon 1,575 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Eck’s final season, which this is sadly beginning to resemble, was just as bad, if not worse. That was a horrific season given where we’d been the previous year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, I was/am an Eck fan. His first title win was my first year of having a season ticket. Loved the guy for a good couple of years and actually felt his 433 was, at times, some of the best attacking football we’d seen in years (including Advocaat’s team). That 2003 season was incredible. Sadly it finished completely arse over tit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeargerNo.1 49 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 At the end of the day it’s either lack of ability or no heart or both, but who signed these players? Do we not do research on players characters before signing them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I was in the stands when we lost to Motherwell in the playoff. Sitting there thinking we weren’t going to get promoted was devastating. Absolutely pumped in the away leg and had to spend another season in the Championship. That was the lowest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
