sco22y 280 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Seen this phrase mentioned more tonight in numerous posts than I can ever remember. Do we have it? Going by tonight's game lots of good honest supporters question this. My own personal opinion is that: We struggled to dominate tonight and make chances like we have done previously this year. However, our current captain (and player of the year) stepped up to take an 88th minute free kick to try and rescue the game only to produce a stunning effort and our old captain stepped in to score the rebound. Yes we lost a goal a few minutes later. However, I believe the passage of play I mentioned speaks volumes and I don't think that our ultimate defeat was helped by one of our cbs going off injured. Like every other Rangers fan, I know that the league is a priority this year but hopefully now those players have had their wake up call. I believe we have winners in the shape of Tav (form), Goldson (form), Mcgregor (titles), Davis (titles euro experience), Defoe (total pro), McAllister (Captain of many clubs) and Gerrard (World class). Come Saturday against Motherwell, it is now our players chance to prove that we have a winning Mentality. Or to at least build on the foundations of our winning Mentality. Fellow bears, what are your thoughts-do we have it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,607 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 We've went 27 games unbeaten until tonight topped our EL group. Am devastated like everyone but cool heads are required. Tonight for me shows that we can't just turn up and expect a win we must give every game 100% attention. This Rangers team are a very very good team and I still believe we will win the league.

Walter Smith's Rangers team were winners. They managed to win the title with Tommy Burn's team only being beaten once.

I said the exact same. In terms of league cups we hold the record. After last year, can you imagine what the training will be like for the rest of the week? And I'm talking about the attitude of the players and not the methods set out by the coaches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,607 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Better Rangers teams than this one have lost games It's about our response winning on Saturday and with a good performance is a must. I understand the hurt of tonight but the reaction by some is OTT When we're on form we are head and shoulders above anything in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight is a really sore one but hopefully that's enough to reset our squad and get back to doing our fundamentals again. We are the best squad in the country by a distance but we must earn every 3 points. Tonight gives they cunts hope they've seen we can be got at. Clear message must go out this weekend. That's what I expected to see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow bears, what are your thoughts-do we have it? excellent post tbf mate . We do have it this year. Although i think we have good quality players, as opposed to players with heart and desire .They have still to prove that on the vital games, as yet for me . I disagree on the winners part . Tav and Goldson are playing out of their skins , they are not winners in my eyes . "yet " . No matter how well they are playing this season .Trophies and medals have to be won , before i hear all that sort of stuff about a player . The season could be one to remember , if only stopping that lot winning their tainted 10 . Yet we have already blown our chance of winning a trebble . And that still feels raw for me, at this moment . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
16BlueSherbert90 19,223 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I couldn't answer cause thread was closed... I wouldn't say we were sh*t, but Rangers made a right royal hash up of this and I would put it down to wrong starting 11, nerves possibly- although I'm not entirely buying that one considering how well we have played this season and I would say that the ref should have stayed as forth official because he made a good few wrong decisions etc...but my former of the 3 is the main issue which hopefully SG will realise quickly and get it right from now on. The weather probably played a bit part too. But...enough excuses and move on. I was drowning in high peeve on the night. I'm over it.... for now 😊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
