9 million spent on two players, nowhere to be seen.  this style of gios is not going to work in Scotland. he needs to let our players og the leash.  

Got to be questions asked about this surely

Can maybe understand Yilmaz, 21 year old coming abroad for the first time but the boys got a lot of games under his belt

Davies is just turning into a car crash, 4 million spent on a guy who is either injured or that unfit he cant even make the bench

It's walking footbal. We try to gain control and bore teams into submission.

Anyone who shows a bit of pace, desire and attacking ability against us get chances. 

Totally agree. It's like they were shocked Hibs came out 2nd half and pressed us, just back to the old mistakes, its tough to watch

McLaughlin needs to be doing better here.

 

I mean, that looks horrible to be honest, but further back in the replay, you could see he was unsighted and had about three players in front of him, not including the guy who took the shot.

[geneva_ger 9,443]

No way either was a Red

[Ivybank 4,632]

As soon as hibs changed tactics in the second half and attacked us they scored within minutes, any team would do the same , thank god most teams sit back or we’d be fucked

You realise its the same ref's doing VAR that are on the pitch in Scotland every week?

They'll very very rarely downgrade a straight red to a yellow, upgrade it maybe aye if the tackle is worse than expected but going against one of their own up here & even then you still have to trust Collum to admit he's made a mistake...

It might get rescinded on appeal with Collum out the way of it all and the atmosphere taken out the game but VAR wouldn't have changed that live.

No point with VAR in Scotland with that attitude, based on how VAR has been run so far around Europe Lundstram gets overturned.

Had a shite view today but thought the whole right hand side (Goldson, Tav, Jack and Matondo) were very poor all afternoon, even when we were in the lead.

They spotted that and everything 2nd half went down that side.

That's the thing we always concede when this happens.

We thinking this side can go to Holland and win ? No chance.

They started off thinking left side was the weakness targeting Borna and aerial balls to Sands but got no joy. 2nd half they realised Tav was having an off game and got that Youan up against him as much as possible

Lundstrum never a red. Morelos 100% a red

That point's been made for months now and tbh I agree with it, unless you change who's in charge of it you'll still get decisions like today. If you've got Collum on the pitch and Clancy/Robertson/Walsh etc in VAR, that decision stands today.

As for how its run in Europe, we just seen a handball against Goldson vs USG given which shouldn't have been then the very next game against PSV the guy gets away with one and that's only in our games!

 

[Polo 1,435]

We are honking against a press. Zero options for the man on the ball and not many who can take it to feet and do anything other than play it straight back. 

[Swagger 8,277]

Them Aberdeen and Hearts away in the next few. 
We’ll be at least 7 points behind after that 

[scotty1976 1,671]

Am I the only one who thinks Hibs equaliser was offside? The player looked offside receiving the ball behind Tav.

Negative and shitebaggery. No drive.

Square baws and 5 yards passes back n sidewards.

We are probably worst team in the league for counter attacking considering our squad strength n money spent.

Ok. The tv didn’t really cover it during the March so couldn’t be sure. Didn’t see the half-time analysis if it was covered there so wasn’t 100% sure.

Regardless of bias no VAR could have seen a red for Lundstram, it's a clear as day yellow all day long.

That right side of defence w/ Goldson and Tav gives me the fucking vapours. Love Tav going forward, but his defending is consistently suspect and Goldson…I just don’t know where to start…

[Ivybank 4,632]

Sands and barasic were fkn awful strolling over to Boyle for the first 2 v 1

3 if you include McLaughlin 😞 ,and that shitebag motondo with his challenge 🤢

[AdzKyle 7,988]

Missed the game just seen the goals and card. I’m sorry but if Morelos gets sent off for that then there would be 10 reds a game. 
Lundstram was a definite yellow but a red harsh. 
Expect nothing less from an ex celtic season ticket holder. 

[Prso's headband 35,800]

You can’t blame any player of Rangers for Lundstram’s red card. The decision is up there with the worst I’ve seen. 
 

We’re reffed to a different standard in these high intensity away games and nobody will tell me different. We’re not able to commit cynical fouls or even go into tackles full blooded. Our card count in these games is a joke for the amount of fouls committed. 
 

An identical tackle from the Hibs player in the first half in a far more advanced position than Lundstram on Boyle is only deemed a yellow.
