Ross county got a point because your managers been found out and so have your players. Who is raging? No they didn't. They got a point due to poor finishing , good , solid defending , a few good saves and a huge slice of luck. I saw the game and Rangers actually played well but all you have seen is a scoreline.

You said in the post i quoted that the manager and players had been found out. I was merely pointing that Rangers played well and on another given day would have won the game convincingly but they didn't.

Rangers flattered to deceive. The only time Rangers genuinely looked like scoring was when O'Halloran hit the bar with his header from that set-piece, which came from not picking up the guy who has literally just arrived on the pitch as a sub. Fox only had to be at full stretch for one save, but Waghorn telegraphed it. Davies and Quinn are brilliant at defending deep. Davies always looks the headline act but Quinn was outstanding. County badly missed Boyce to help the ball stick up front. Curran and Schalk didn't show any kind of hold up play. A lot is said about Curran bringing the best out of Boyce, but I also think Boyce brings out the best in Curran. Schalk is really quick but doesn't know how to use his pace - he reacts to rather than reads the game. That doesn't work well with a counter-attacking strategy like yesterday. Franks didn't have the pace nor quality to punish the space behind Wallace. He did well last week when up against arguably the weakest left flank in the division but really struggles in the final third when up against top six opposition. When County did squeeze up they looked like they could hurt Rangers, but that obviously didn't happen enough. When Rangers didn't have the ball, it was amazing how deep their back four sat to protect Hill and Wilson - they were holding a line at 12 yards rather than 18 that you would normally expect. They got away with it due to Halliday's endurance and I thought he had a good game in the way he snuffed out counter attacks (but isn't as good as Barton on the ball). However, other, better teams will hurt that kind of defending. County aren't that good at attacking just now and are wholly reliant on Boyce for quality in the final third. Aberdeen have quality all across the front three or four, as do Hearts. County aren't a top six team at the moment, but will improve when Boyce is back and Dow is fit.

bennett Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 No in is tears, it's possible to discuss aspects of Rossco' play without being in tears. I can't say that I'm too pleased about the time wasting and Curran's thuggery but we've got this season to adapt and adjust to these type of teams. Comic book guy assures me that Aberdeen will play some lovely free flowing stuff, so it should be a guid game next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuitty Boyce Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Some amount of rubbish being talked by Rangers fans on here. Maybe if Warburton wasn't too proud to play ugly football you guys wouldn't have been humiliated last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, very good. Am I still allowed to laugh at the chap's horrific use of the apostrophe or has diddydome found a time when a Rangers player was even worse grammatically? You sad sack. Probably explains your rampant alcoholism too. http://sparkonit.com/2016/04/03/grammar-nazi-scientists-bad-news/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 This Rangers side aren't unlucky. If they were, we'd be seeing proper humpings. Except we've only seen one. And they were the ones on the end of it. They're not very good. It's funny seeing how hard it is for this to sink in. They'll likely drop more points than they gain in their next three games too.Maybe then, they'll get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartTaylor Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Happy with a point, especially since Boyce missing, we really missed his link up play. Some good defensive performances from Fox, VdW, Davies and Quinn, but disappointed with our general play, we just never got going. Our form is patchy so far this season, Dow will add something, and hopefully the injuries to Boyce and Schalk aren't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggieman21 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Agree with Stuart, thought we defended really well but it is a very risky approach just inviting so much pressure from them. There was a spell in the second half were the attacking players were pressing the rangers defence really well and even Davies found himself around the edge of the rangers box making himself available. Can't help but think If we'd been more positive then we could have got a goal. Think we definitely showed them too much respect, pretty sure we won't set up like that against hearts next week and they're a better side than rangers.

He then rounded your Keeper who cynically tried to bring him down but what he did achieve was to put Windass off balance and he couldn't get enough on his shot. I take it you missed Clint Hill hitting the crossbar? TBH i think you are confusing this with the MoH header that also crashed back off the bar as it was Hills that was from the corner. I take you missed Rangers goal that was chopped off in a narrow Off Side decision. I take it you missed the Windass (i think.that many chances it was hard to keep up) shot that looked as if it was in but went narrowly wide? It was like shooty in at times but County defended well and got the break of the ball in the box. If the scoreline had been 5 or 6 nil it would not have flattered Rangers in anyway. They create more than enough chances but if you don't convert them then you have nobody to blame but yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
