RockwellGers 15,608 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 No positive spin, we should have been able to overcome St Mirren and I'm bitterly disappointed at the chance to win a trophy going down the drain. St Mirren, Hibs or whoever, it was very important to prove ourselves here. I'm very angry at Rangers, really want to see a win at the weekend to keep us firmly in the premier spot in the league. Get us back to winning ways at the weekend and reinforce to us why we are capable of winning this title. Absolutely ruined my night as much as I tried to swallow it. It's too important. A trophy down the drain. Fucking garbage. Need to absolutely assert ourselves in the league now. Get it done Rangers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 26,738 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Last night has done nothing more than put more pressure on the manager. For me it's deliver the title or he's gone That's the reality now there isn't one bear on here giving a fuck about the Scottish cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyblueblood 88 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I thought the Treble was a distinct possibility, but you're right KK, forget the Scottish Cup, that would just be a bonus, all that matters now is the 55. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't win the title he's gone, the Scottish Cup wasn't going to change that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermac58 40 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 They didn’t bottle anything we made too many changes,we didn’t stop running all night we made too many mistakes as well,st boo were well up for this they probably will never reach that intensity again this season,shit happens and by the way I’ve seen better Rangers teams than this one lose to lesser teams,we move on to Saturday now and beat Motherwell 1-0 will do.

frenv 2,180 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The league's always been a do-or-die - I just hoped the cup would have been the springboard to adding more confidence and to get the 'duck off our back' re: trophies. The sponsors must be devastated at the SF line up, but fair play to those left. Can't say I'll got any sort of interest in watching either match or the final though :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This is a mere crum now . Going out may actually see what we are made of .If the league cup was won .It may have given the team confidence to go on .On the other hand ,it may have done the opposite and made us become overly confident .Now they have to refocus and there are zero excuses now .Absolutely none This team are absolute garbage ,when they find themselves behind in games .It has happened so often it’s frightening .Nothing like the Rangers teams I grew up watching .We almost visibly chuck it so often We actually did it last night and found the goal ,we don’t often find .And still managed to fuck that up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's deliver the title or he's gone Gerrard would be gone if he lost the league this season regardless of last nights result. Even if we win the league he might still be off as there are a lot of other clubs interested in him after the job he’s done with Rangers. Last night won’t have effected anything as far as Gerrard’s concerned. It all comes down to the league and with our current points advantage I don’t see us losing it.

Had we lost 2-1 toiling for 40 minutes trying to get the goal and it never came then we’ve been there many times before in the last few years. We got the goal and all we had to do was see out 4 minutes without conceding against st Mirren. Think of the UFA game and the onslaught we faced with 9 men but we couldn’t do it for 4 minutes last night. I think the team has bottle, they showed it against Braga last year, standard a few weeks back, Benfica away after going behind. Our team isn’t the finished article, this year has seen it click better than at any other point in Gerrards tenure and now we’ve had our first lost of the season it’s time to see whether the players feel sorry for themselves or galvanise and come back stronger. Whether it’s belief or blind faith I’m not sure but I think they will bounce back and keep the momentum in the league. On another positive the scum will think our bubble has burst and they’ll probably stick with lennon now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 33,110 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Winning the first one (as a group) is the hardest of all. Once they get over the hump, including the manager, I feel this current group of players can dominate the game for years. The players didn't bottle it, the manager made incredibly strange decisions that cost us. Not only was the Bassey decision absurd but keeping out Kamara to protect him made the left-side a weak link. "this one is on me" is something I have heard before. An apology would have been more appropriate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must win the league, and I’m sure he knows it. I’m pretty sure if he doesn’t then that will be the end. Winning 1 or both domestic cups may give some wiggle room, but last night’s defeat is an issue and there is no denying it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
