And I’m not looking to have Gerrard replaced either, but cup competitions are one of the two major blots on his Rangers copy book. Winning the league and what he has done in Europe probably give him a pass to most in the Cups TBH - in 10 years time when he is spoke about as a Rangers manager most won't give a fuck about the Cups Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll admit I’ll be one of them. 2010 and 2011 we could have won the treble but we blew a replay playing a weakened side and parked the bus against 10 men. At least there is still plenty of great memories during 2008-11. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very select % of our support who do that TBH, the greater % of the support tend to romanticize the fuck out of our ex managers and players and typically end up talking them into iconic cultesque figures (even pish players on occasion) some fondly remember Konterman because of "that goal" etc and so on rather than the years of inept and shite performances. Most still go to "best football ever seen" when talking about Adovcaat as their starter, rather than what followed - McLeish will always be linked with memorable title wins first to most rather than numerous comedy seasons let alone Cup exits. In 10 years time when Gerrard is spoken about most will be well into their conversation before fucking up Cups is mentioned, the good times have far outweighed the shit in the context of his management, time will likely also emphasize how pish we were before he arrived and how far he took us. I leaned on this the other day when speaking about 9IAR. some people speak about that time like it was a trophy laced era of glory, when we walked Cups every year... which isn't entirely true, but more tend to forget the shit times quicker and lean on speaking about the success and ramp it up.

bluenoz 30,287 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I remember times when the SC really meant something. Even the romance of the English FA cup has diminished. The game is geared around money and the money these days is in European football. Still gutted we won't lift the SC this year. It's been far too long.

Think after our last victory the gap was back down to 1 or might have even been level . Now it’s 7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we shouldn't be competing on all fronts, what I was saying is the Scottish Cup means less to me than the financial gains we get from a European run. League > Europe > Domestic cups in that order.....currently. For 10 years septic’s priorities were cups > league (cups and trebles need to be earned, leagues were a stroll without Rangers) > Europe. And that’s why they are in a world of shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superallysbears 7,479 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Actually seeing a Rangers team lift the championship on the day will be when it will hit home for us imo, also that's when it'll hit the scum too, that they are not top dogs anymore when they see us lift that trophy 🇬🇧 #55 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
