What a fantastic day of football.

The only down side for me was watching Liverpool honded 3-0!

Morton- outstanding!

The skunks hounded by the sheepshaggers-outstanding

The Gers hounded by the team going down-outstanding!

😀

It's been a fantastic few days of football for fans of the diddy teams.

The greenyins papped out of Europe

The currants papped out of the cup and their wait for a first major trophy going on.

Morton? Skunks? A bit of an irrelevance.

Gerrard's post-match interview might explain a few things:

"when we're underdogs we're fantastic, we have a lot of characters and leaders in there and then they perform to a level that sometimes is above probably of what we're capable of"

Eta: he also refers to the Braga game that was "on Thursday".  

He’s turned it into a word salad but his sentiment is correct when you consider the performance at Parkhead at Xmas time and the Europa league victories which were followed by losing points against Hearts Kilmarnock and St Johnstone.

 

ETA it’s much the same as the Scotland national team.

It's almost as if Gerrard is in charge of a group of mercenaries who remarkably manage to turn on some style whenever people might be watching them from outwith Scotland.  :rolleyes:

Anyway, I find it entertaining that a team can somehow play better than they are capable of.

Will finish number 2 in the league

Doesn't know the meaning of embarrassment.

Horrible support. No wonder their last lot died.

Not sure that you know what domestically means tbf 😉

He’d probably be a champ if being a fanny was a sport

He’s a dedicated follower of Rangers

An underappreciated post, and a song that should be far more well known.

Rangers' record at Tynecastle since 2012:

Played: 9

Won: 2

Drawn: 2

Lost: 5

Goal difference: -6

Going for 55(% defeat ratio at Tynecastle), indeed.smug.gif

It looks like Rangers simply don't have the quality in the squad to maintain the consistency to challenge for every trophy.
The simple solution is to spend more money on better quality players.
This will, hilariously, be the mindset of their fans, and will hopefully result in another death of a club these orcs support.

Yes, because Scotland is always hammering the big guns of the world game.  Good point.

To make the jump complete to hang onto the coat tails of Celtic for a whole season which is the next level to complete, they are going to have to spend more money and supporters are going to have to learn a bit of patience, this will take time. This season I've seen progress in this direction from Rangers and they have improved a lot since last season not quite onto the coat tail but a lot closer, yet I'm reading comments from Rangers fans that this is the lowest they have felt in decades of supporting their club, completely forgetting that back in 2012 they didn't have one and now Gerrard is seen as public enemy number one?? That takes some extra special stupid. Despite this they are still in Europe which is a massive bonus because no one ever expected them to be there, should make some decent money out of it but yet still that's not good enough.

This impatience to stop Celtic from winning 10 in a row is undermining the progress, its almost like they want to stop this run right now and anything less is unacceptable. The only way that is going to happen now is if Celtic have a mare of a season which isn't going to happen and they will always have a little extra to step up if any other team including Rangers get close enough to them. Celtic won't stand still if they have serious competition for the title. So Rangers have no choice but to strengthen the squad through spending more money on better quality than they have now if they want to challenge for every trophy and become serious consistent challengers to Celtic's domination.

 

I think it's more a coaching issue tbh, refusing to change from tactics which dont work against physical teams. Obviously in Europe you don't see that style of play, refs dont accept it there but in Scotland they do, so we need to adapt.

Stop fannying about with the baw in defence and boot it to fcuk. I'm convinced the players are being told to play it out rather than clear their lines, its happening too often. Sometimes you just have to boot it out/up the pitch.

 

Realise that our forwards require space, see the Braga and other European games. Stop trying to pass the baw past 10 defenders, it doesn't work.

Last nights game was predictable,  see my page 1 post.

It’s just a shame Steven Gerrard doesn’t have your renowned tactical knowledge. Maybe you could offer your services?
