Atmosphere was the same as every other run of the mill home game 

[Jelavic191 4,545]

The performances have been incredibly poor and we’ve been obliterated by injury but I thought it was interesting to hear that we’re only 1 point worse off than we were last season after 14 league games. 
 

We went on to win the next 6, can’t see that happening again this year 🤣

Nah but the abuse he was getting was hilarious.  

 

After him spending most of the match time wasting, he didn't like the ballboy taking too long so ran over to the wee boy behind the goals and shoved/slapped him out the road while grabbing the ball out his hands, whole stand went ballistic.

Couldn't believe him doing that. Absolute bellend.

I also think your comments on Hagi are a bit OTT. He wasn’t the most consistent, but he was one of the few in our squad that was capable of a moment of magic which could unlock a defence

I said Hagi isn't really a fans favourite. If that's OTT then enjoy the various posts on Kent, Barisic, Tav in years gone by and Goldson.

I did read the rest of your post mate. We do have players injured but the game changers are still Goldson and Jack. The rest are all benchwarmers and I include those like Roofe who can be matchwinners on their day.

Cunt of an answer mate. He's our best option in that position despite not hitting the heights of the latter stages of last season.

If we're giving anyone a bash are you up for it if it's announced over the tannoy that we're allowed stuart1994 fae Larky as a trialist at the next home game? 🤣

Naw am shite.

Pish. People pay for their seats and should be free to leave any time they want to.

Fair play - I was more referring to players I think would be regular starters. From memory Gio has started Hagi in pretty much every game so suspect he would still be that if he hadn’t gotten injured.

 

Apart from Lawrence can’t really argue too much with the rest, but I do think the fact we have such a weak bench ATM is probably affecting the ability to change the game with subs / rotate players for fitness and / or form.

 

I also think that we saw this pattern of play earlier in the season / last season when he didn’t have the same injury list and also that we have too many muscle injuries for it to be just bad luck. I think Gio is a cautious manager which doesn’t suit us well domestically and I don’t think he has the players anywhere near fit enough.

Back home from Ibrox. Thinking we were shite but at least the players put in a shift in the second half to get a win and log on here and its full of cunts watching on the telly wanting us to drop points .

Place is the pits.

In recent times the forum has become far worse than it ever was under Ally at the end up or Caixinha. I'm absolutely not asking for Admin or Mods to step in because I'm all for freedon for speech which is this forum's strength but the negative, abuse of the team before a ball is even kicked is becoming tiresome.

Two weeks ago there was a poster who said he would have been happy for dropped points to sack Gio. He was rightly hounded for it. I won't tag the name as I think it may have been KK but not sure. Tonight we have prominent posters backing up other prominent posters with the very same opinion that that poster was hounded with.

I've been shite all my life but my strengths were fitness and pace. Hitting 40 in a couple of months and my strengths are deserting me at the fives. Blowing out my arse and canny hit full pace without pain in my hips.

I’ll give you a serious answer rather than a wido one, personally I’d like to see Kamara back in the team for a spell. I’ll not sugar coat it he’s been well below it recently. But I think if he plays at his best, for me he’s the best midfielder at the club. I know right now it’s a big if, but I’d honestly be willing to take the chance. For me Lundstram‘s been very poor the majority of the season.

How the fuck Sands starts before Kamara tells me all I need to know about Gio.

Until James Sands got injured, he was the best player on the park. After that, he tailed off before being substituted.

Sure he has his limitations, but some have their minds made up about the kid even when he plays well.

Kamara is the team’s best midfielder right now, no question. I have no idea what the deal is between he and Gio. You can see his class in five minutes on the pitch. Lundstram is a donkey.

We can only hope for some miracle to happen during the WC break and we come back all guns blazing, however I sincerely doubt it.

In recent years it’s worked for the mhanky mob. Hopefully it’s our turn this season.

Kamara has definitely been well below par for whatever reason but while you've mentioned Lundstram he should definitely be starting before Sands. He still didn't come on when Sands got injured so something is not right.

Getting Kamara back to his peak must be made a priority.

No point worrying about it mate, it’s only random peoples opinions on the internet, they don’t impact anything.

Going by the posts of some people at Ibrox tonight the crowd was supportive throughout anyway, even Matondo managed to be clapped off the pitch for his efforts.

That was another boggin performance tbh but at least we got the 3 points.

One big push on Saturday then we push the reset button for the season

I'm not worried about internet randoms. I'm frustrated at the toxicity in the forum right now. It used to be comical when people would start the negative comments at 20 mins in a match thread because we weren't 3 up. At the moment the negative comments are starting well before then, some posters are even going beyond negative and being completely poisonous.
