How many more times after watching him play will folk use this phrase. Surely you’ve seen enough of him now to agree he won’t do ?

Disagree.  I think if he gets a run of games and confidence up he’ll do a job. I’m not saying he’s in Morelos class but as a back up he’ll do a job.  The problem is he’s had very little game time all through the season so he’s off the pace.
 

Our opinions differ, the only one that matters is SG’s!

On to Rangers Women v the taigs on BBC Alba now.

Gerrard out, take Simpson and Roofe with him.

And Morales, never done fuck all tonight

[stuart1994 4,302]

Who the fuck was he anyway not seen him before ? Hopefully don’t see him for a while. 

[esquire8 42,654]

Hope Gerrard comes out and speaks about how bad that referee was.

[five stars 1,621]

Why is Arfield taking a quick free kick during injury time? Supposedly an experienced player?

[the old guard 2,323]

Referee was a joke but we were pish poor imo, starting to lose patience with hagi, make up for it on Sunday, and that prick Rooney is a tarrier bastard. 

[demise 3,517]

Fringe players need to do a lot better. It kinda looked as if they lacked belief. And its fuckin SJ we are talking about. Anyways, still unbeaten. Hopefully we give them a proper beating next game. 

[Hadron Collider 30,873]

Still unbeaten but, TOO MANY CHANGES!  And the ref should be fucking fired.

This referee performance is absolutely fucking hysterical.

One of the worst I have seen. I actually thought the potential handball by Simpson about 5 minutes earlier was a penalty (not the one where the Ref changed his mind). If he wanted to give them a penalty that was his chance. The one he gave was ridiculous.

Unless you want him to literally cut his arms off it’s never a penalty 

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,421]

Never a penalty. Ref shat it.

We will have to watch out for that shite on Sunday.

Still unbeaten after making loads of changes. Job done.

I'd start Wright on Sunday. They really struggled to contain him tonight. 

[RDB14 2,760]

At least that will put some fire in our belly for the weekend.  Hopefully peoPle stop screaming for the fringe players to start over the stars of our season so far now 😁

[Bluekev 43,916]

Not the best game but after the season they've given us I don't want to sit here and slag the players. Still unbeaten, still shite refs and they're gonna be in for a shock when we hit them full throttle at the weekend.

[BlueKnight87 17,286]

Never a penalty. 

Unbeaten still. Move onto the weekend and pump them at home in the cup. 

[rangersross 6,530]

Don't want to rush to conclusions but what a poor, poor league debut from Simpson. I'm willing to give Itten more time - and I've backed him consistently - but can't help but feel we'd have been better off with someone like Nisbet if we wanted to spend a couple of million on a third choice striker. 

[.Williamson. 82,197]

Meh. 

Important one is on Sunday. Squad players haven’t done themselves any favours in terms of getting a starting spot though

Hope he boots Roofe in the baws - plays the ball wide to Patterson games finished 

[EMRFC 4,780]

Nothing that will ruin my night tbh, just be glad we had the stinker tonight rather than Sunday. Morelos and Kent will tear them apart Sunday I fully believe that.

[the goal machine 7,802]

Still unbeaten, fuck it. Scary that a ref like that is doing top flight games though. 

[Misteral 2,932]

Overall, they probably deserved a point but they didn't deserve it that way. Poor decisions by Bassey and the ref.

Anyway, on to the weekend.

Good idea. Get tae yer bed. 

[esquire8 42,654]

They have to bring back reserve team football next season.

Zero point in having a squad if backup players come in and look like dogshit with zero match fitness.

Never seen that ref before. Dreadful. No doubt on tonight's performance he will get the next old firm.

Hopefully never see him again. He should be banished to the lower leagues.
