Most of the animosity is because he has not signed a contract but bar the odd brain fart he gives 100%. There were real cowards on the field but even at the end Goldson although failing was still working hard and bursting a gut to get a goal. He's not been very successful though has he Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoastbear 1,639 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Not bothered how honest he is, needs to get his head out of his ass and show us the form he had this time last season. He's vice captain, how about a bit of leadership and start by setting an example for others to follow instead of running his mouth.

The vice captain did though and that’s part of the problem. southcoastbear and JackAlex93 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing in the towel in a semi final and saying he's lost the hunger is the problem. Never a Rangers player with that attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who watched the full interview could see the point he was making. I watched the full interview and it actually calmed me at first, the more I think about the giving up quote the more angry I got but, players have probably thought it before of course they have but to come out and admit it publicly is absolute madness.

Colin Traive 23,932 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 He’s been atrocious for months and his mind is obviously elsewhere. Just look at the goals conceded, mostly from fannying about at the back or not dominating our own box. Not good enough for Rangers. He’s not signed a contract and is apparently building a family home in England. Clearly not committed to Rangers. He got his league winner’s medal and that seems to be enough for him. Not ambitious enough for Rangers. Chucked it when the game was still salvageable. Gutless. Until we have other options (recall Katic, Helander recovery, promotion of youngster, new signing in a few weeks etc), we’re paying his wages let’s use him. But the minute there is another option, get him to fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was too honest and the average supporter cannot handle that. We could see the players had chucked it as I mentioned previously. For me, it’s not so much what he said. But if it’s true, I’m more interested in what he and Tav did about this apparent “chucking” it by the team. They are both supposed to be leaders, yet I saw zero leadership from them on the day to inspire or motivate the non-hackers he refers to. In all honesty, I would get rid of him and Tav as it’s clearly beyond them. Bad Robot and Smile 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,529 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 “I think when you start as poorly as we did it’s always going to be difficult. We probably gave ourselves too much to do in the second half. We know every team we play will be organised and we struggled to break them down. We need to cut the mistakes out of our games and become more ruthless and show some more mental toughness rather than just relying on talent.” Could have easily said something like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not defending Goldson’s comments, as the Rangers vice captain it was a moronic admission, but let’s not act like there weren’t people thinking and saying the exact same thing that he did when there clearly was.

beararse 6,938 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 1 hour ago, The Dude said: So how do you go about building a consistently title-winning team that can compete in Europe if we're selling our best players at the first sniff of decent money? Would you have accepted selling Morelos for big bucks if it mean fucking the title and giving them ten? Who said selling them at the first whiff of money? And why would selling Morelos for £16m automatically mean fucking the title and giving them 10IAR? For all you or I know the £16m may well have been invested in a £10m striker who would go on to score the same no. of goals as Morelos to lead us to 55 and crucial goals to reach and win cup finals. Also, Morelos didn’t singlehandedly lead us to 55. He contributed yes but we didn’t win the league because we kept Morelos (who scored 12 of our 92 league goals). A mindset where ‘if we sell we are fucked’ will and indeed has resulted in a stagnated team full of players with diminishing returns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
