***** The Official St Johnstone v Rangers Match Thread *****

We will show the utmost respect to St J (they are bottom of the league) because we are playing away from home, so expect one of Jack or Lundstram in the usual setup. If Jack plays tonight, it will be Lundstram. We shouldn't need either in a game like this.

Why buy attacking, flair players and play the same defensive setup for the last five years?

My team selection was written with a pinch of salt because, of course, Tav & Borna start, but it's a tired formation.

It won't happen, but we should just go all out and attack from the start with Danilo and Roofe up front

Edit - didn't know Dowell was fucked for the season so replace with Sima or Matondo or whoever the fuck else.

Dowell is out for the season?

Ryan Jack is absolutely done. Struggles to run these days let alone contribute anything. 
Lundstrum almost as bad. Fucking awful that they are both still involved

Scott Wright has not and never will be good enough for Rangers.

Depressing as fuck reading him in any lineup.

Absolutely agree 100% but still think he is a better footballer than Matondo.

Matondo is very quick, but that’s it.

[AberfeldyBlue 1,557]

after 38 minutes after we dominate for 20 mins and then go into defensive mode and then a Tav error leads to a Saints goal..

Neither are good enough for us. Their stats prove that.

Beale failed to buy a proper winger and we are playing Mantondo out of sheer desppiration. A poor man's Sakala. 

If Beale thinks Mantondo will save his job he might as well hitch a lift home on the England bus after tonight's game.

Then he knocks one in at the back post and converts penalty or free kick for the victory.

Thats not difficult 

[superallysbears 7,659]

Back to face the music now the international shite is over, fuck knows how we go forward from here on in.

[B1872 20,795]

Fuck it I’d go with:

 

Butland

Tav

King

Goldson

Yilmaz

 

Raskin

Rice

Cifuentes 

 

Cantwell

 

Roofe

Danilo

 

However no doubt we’ll see the same fucking shitebags in Souttar, Barisic, Jack, Lundstram, Lammers and Dessers.

Can see me watching his press conference on Friday and wanting to smash my telly up at the smug cunt.

[Prso's headband 35,569]

Can’t wait till the next international break. 

[bluenoz 30,942]

At least the Scotland/England match thread was good for some laughs for a change.

Back to the old depressing match day thread as per usual, I see.

[Davy Vandenbroucke 26,200]

It’s depressing how much of a chore it’s been watching Rangers for the past year and a half (over two years if you don’t count the run to Seville). Hard to believe that PSV away last year was the solitary bit of joy, in what has generally been a long period of utter misery.

Genuinely struggle to watch our games now (to the point where I seatsubbed all home games last season from February/March onwards), and have very little interest before or even during them. I know you always get these low points as a football supporter but fuck me, it never gets any easier to accept.

I just can't see how anything positive can be achieved now, Beale's ego if it doesn't realise now will get the message on Saturday win lose or draw, wouldn't be surprised to see him reacting in someway either.

[GA1972 9,639]

It’ll be torture to watch, we’ll be lucky if we scrape through and we’ll all still want him gone by the end regardless

Board could’ve turned the negative into a positive by getting rid of this idiot after the scum game. Instead we have to endure more of this shit knowing the next disaster is right around the corner 

Dreading playing Betis with him in charge

Already considering subbing the Motherwell game and going into work all weekend if that clowns still here.
