AlCapone 7,678 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 7 hours ago, peter huistra said: Not many players survive at our club unless they hit the ground running can only think of a few examples where players have started poorly then managed to stay and establish themselves as first team regulars. Ricksen being one and Lovenkrands who was quite young, suppose Goldson could fall into that category. You’ve obviously forgot McCoist, Hately and Goram. That’s why as fans we need to give all players time before deciding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The last thing Rangers need is a rookie manager! ( when Gerard signed) I hate when we sign players at end of career - Ray Wilkins and Defoe! 😏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t see us scoring and thought it was the beginning of the collapse we’d seen the last 2 seasons. Got it badly wrong. Also Barton was just what we needed at the time he signed. I think we'll look back at that game and realise that was a pivotal 45 mins of football for our football club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 3,928 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I certainly wasn't at the point where I wanted Gerrard out but I defenitely didn't see us turning around our bad run at the time. Sometimes a team falls and they never pick it up again, I thought that'd be us. Thank fuck the board seen that he was better than anyone to know what we needed in the summer!

He heard Sky Sports News on the tele and went running up the stairs at the prospect of Rangers actually signing someone (we hadn’t signed anyone for two seasons).

He was booked to give out the prizes at my daughter's (Southampton) swimming club a few years ago. Even though most of the kids weren't alive when he last played for Southampton. It was pretty warm in there admittedly, but he walked out after 20 minutes saying never mind my fee. Suddenly his Rangers career made sense. Lazy useless twat that turned tail at any kind of minor difficulty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Always been into Gerrard and the plan.

Thankfully Stevie and the players took it up a few gears and now have the steel and mentality of winners. I got pelters for defending SG on here and comparing the time SAF had before Man U won anything under him. Don't feel so bad now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Soup 101 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I stumbled across SportScene on BBC Scotland, earlier today. The Irishman, with the English name, who used to work for the Scotsman ..... Unexpectedly recanting at least some of his prior proclamations. Particularly, how much of a mistake signing Gerrard would prove to be. Doesn't absolve this masquerading pundit from his previous form. Especially the 'execrable' comment, after the crush outside Rugby Park in August 2019. Regardless, I do enjoy the sound of sanctimonious commentators choking on their humble pie.

I made a thread on here at the start of the season after 0-0 with Livingston saying we’d have a new manager by that time next year I think collectively this board gets it wrong a lot. Pretty much all of our squad are two games away from being world beaters, or written off as absolute shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point trying to dig people up on things when we were clearly struggling and desperate for any form of success. Just enjoy the here and now Roofe itten balogun improved us. Morelos is not firing we don't just rely on a past it Defoe even if he's a great goal scorer. Squad is much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare this squad to last season. Roofe and Itten coming on and scoring goals. We didn't have that last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
