General Transfer Talk

Just seen Bradley Dack is leaving Blackburn on a free. Looked quality for a while but injuries have slowed him the last couple of years. Great finisher, though.

Two cruciate injuries in the past 3 years missing nearly 100 games. I'd rather have Bradley Walsh.

Aye. It’s not ideal

Two ACL injuries. No thanks.

Romano looks like he's just pulled that from The 4th Official who talks a power of shite. Hopefully not in this instance.

I see Romano mentioned The 4th Official in his tweet though, suggesting he's reporting what they're saying rather than what he's saying himself. Although I assume he wouldn't tweet it if he didn't have confidence in it, might just be sort of "as first reported by.."

The 4th Official’s tweet thanks Romano for his “help”, which suggests he actually contributed to it and isn’t just parroting it.

Sounds promising then

I do find it a little odd how often those two seem to collaborate/mention each other. Fabrizio is the biggest football reporter in the world, why is he buddy buddy with a random Rangers fan site? Don't see him mention other accounts specific to other clubs or maybe I just don't notice

For anyone still trying to claim McGregor doesn’t cost us goals with his mobility/reaction time/positioning. Play spot the difference. 

 

There was also one in the 2nd half, Kyogo was played through, n McCrorie was out his box to clear, sweeper keeper

I think that’s how that Fabrizio works. Obviously he gets his own stuff but cos he seems to be the transfer guru on twitter other reporters basically pass on the info to him so he can spread it to a bigger audience.

[SkylineBlue 24,258]

H&H now sharing it. Is he still as close to the club as he used to be?

our loyal fan base hate on our own, it’s been happening for the worst all season 

there is warranted criticism for some but so much is ott

So if you criticise a player for application, control, tackles, passing or general ability you therefore “Hate” them?

Some leap BR.

I didn’t realise they actually cover a lot of other stuff outwith Rangers, according to LinkedIn they’re India-based and the vast majority of their employees/columnists are Indian.

Can only assume they’ve made a connection with Romano at some point previously.

absolutely class player but two fucked cruciates is definitely off putting. would probably take him over a dowell but i guess tbf they are different kinds of players.

From what I've heard it used to be a generic football account and then someone bought it over and it's since become more Rangers focussed. I know it's not "supposed" to be a Rangers account but it does seem heavily focussed on us. Didn't know the stuff about India though.

Malik Tillman’s older brother Timothy Tillman is a team mate of Cifuentes.

Their website covers a lot of other football and Rangers is barely even noticeable when you go on it, yet their Twitter account only ever seems to tweet about us, bizarre.

This is the mistake you’re making. Just because it wasn’t an obvious fuck up, doesn’t mean we aren’t conceding goals that a competent mobile keeper would save.

Again I just point out the stats because it really shows this. We’ve conceded 57% of our goals from inside the 6 yard box since the league cup final. The average is 22%. That’s pretty damning evidence that you have a keeper that can’t get off his line. This isn’t fucking normal for teams to float diddy balls into the box or over the top and have tap ins from 2 yards out. Some gk come and collect, punch or narrow the space. Joe Hart punched one on the fucking penalty box at Hampden and you’re telling me we can’t find a keeper that can at least get one yard off his line. I’m sorry McCrorie is streets ahead of McGregor.

I think Oh probably scores the one he hit the post if against McGregor. Even with slipping look how much he closes down the space. 

This is before you get on to how much better our press is with a gk that can sweep. How much more confident and less panicky the defence looks knowing they have a gk that can bail them out if they don’t quite hit a pass correctly etc. (Like Souttar)

Fucking hell % and photos now

Yeah that is pretty weird. Tbh I thought it was just a guy with a twitter account and a patreon page, didn't realise it was a big website etc

Like this one. MLS obviously a bit hit and miss but looks like the energetic, bit of everything box-to-box piece we’re sorely missing at the moment.

percentage

/pəˈsɛntɪdʒ/

noun

a rate, number, or amount in each hundred.

"the percentage of Caesareans at the hospital was three per cent higher than the national average"
 

Let me know if it still doesn’t make sense

It’s not some jump as I did say some criticism is warranted, are you saying you’ve seen no hating on our players?
