I get that, but surely you can see what I’m saying here.

If we’re losing has a negative crowd ever helped that? Ever?

There have been countless examples of where the support have got the team over the line.

I know it goes both ways and the team have to give the support something back - I’m just saying I think the negativity makes it harder to win.

Don’t think that’s particularly unfair.

Probably countless examples of actual Rangers teams with a bit of bottle and winning mentality using the negative vibe of the crowd to win games , trophies and whatever during our history . Sadly this current sqaud just doesn’t have the minerals to deal with it 

Edit: and neither do the clueless cunts in the dugout

16 months ago we made it to a Euro final.

The team and the fans were entwined and that made us basically unstoppable.

When the team give us something we, as fans, respond ten-fold.

This team and manager are now getting treated with the contempt they deserve.

Couldn’t have said it better myself

You’d give anything to have Walter still around to step in and sort this shite out again.

I get that - but think we’re all in agreement that the contempt has a bit of a self-fulfilling element to it.

Otherwise the unanimous view of there being no crowds during 55 helping us wouldn’t be a thing.

What a fucking mess we're in, when that's where we're still looking.

The best thing that ever happened to Rangers, Walter Smith.

[ZZed 4,510]

I wonder if the board are going to just let Beale stay until it is so toxic against him that he walks and the players are looking for a way out. Saves them a pay off to him and players will be easier to shift if their agents are touting them around. This would mean a new manager would be more accepted and could do some type of a rebuild. The problem is the board would have to have a manager lined up who would have to wait until Beale had, had enough and walked. The new manager would also have pleanty of dross to shift out the door.

I may be overthinking this.

The more you look at this the more fucking shifty it gets. This wasn’t an ex-coach returning to watch a game for sentimental reasons. He came up with one of his backroom team while Gio was fighting for his job and made sure everyone knew he was here.

The mood obviously.

You hear many people’s thoughts btw?

Just shows that even though pre season is about fitness etc, sometimes theres more than enough evidence to realise players are not good enough or the manager hasn't got a clue.

[LaaRFC 4,863]

Just futilely refreshing every social media platform hoping for the news he’s gone to break

It's so sad to think. Always felt in safe hands when he was with us. 

What a presence, what a legend. Loved him

Well according to an earlier post, Beale only followed Gerrard to Villa once he realised he wasn’t getting his job so that says it all really.

[SuperAli 1,353]

The fact I’m still hearing fans saying ‘you can’t sack him because we don’t have a replacement’ is a stinking mentality to have. You don’t keep a shit employee because you don’t have a replacement for them.

As said, the contempt they're getting... they've brought it on themselves.

A real Rangers player and a real Rangers team goes, "Oh fuck. I and we better get this sorted." They go away and work their arses off in training to stop it happening again.

This powder-puff version of a team don't have that mettle about them. They simply do not get it.

For that I blame the manager and as for our inept manager who seemed good at talking the talk about what we are... it's the board's fucking fault.

Realise I'm kind of arguing against myself here.

The last part there is the worst for me. Yes, he should have stayed away, particularly when it was well known that Gio was under immense pressure at the time.

The fact he made a song and dance about being there, drinking in the Loudon, posing for photographs etc was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful to the man who was in charge at the time, a man who btw conducted himself with dignity and respect the full time he was here.
