The fact is these people largely own Rangers. They paid their money and they're entitled to make their choice. While some fans think they own the club and should decide who sits on the board and who manages the team, they don't. Fans can vote with their feet and they can voice their opinion but no one is compelled to respond as supporters demand. Turning our ire on the board is a futile occupation and always a last resort.

HELP PLEASE!! I left two tickets for tonight on the passenger seat of my car and some scumbag broke the window and left me another two. (Ah'll get mah bunnet and shawl.)

I can spot a dud a mile off. 😂

Bastard....i'll put my 2 up as a reward.

I thought GVB and Beale were lazy appointments. GVB did well in the EL but struggled domestically. Beale started off okay but this season things have definitely taken a turn for the worse. I doubt many of us had seen much of Lammers, Dessers and co, so any joy at their signings was more down to optimism than knowledge.

A film about weemin's fitba', I surmise....

I would honestly be grateful if one of the 25 could describe what they see in this managment team and draught/draft of new recruits that inpsired them to vote as they did. I honestly find it baffling.

Says a lot about the quality of our transfer business that losing Matondo is an obvious blow. The lad deserves credit for a reasonable contribution this season but we're extremely short in creative, wide players.

It's telling that we're even considering not winning.

Struck the fiercest shot I ever saw, a volley from about fifteen yards at Tynecastle. Didn’t score but the crossbar that got in the way shivered for what seemed like ages. Actually, five seconds. Poor McNeill. Thought Millar was out of the way for a while and along came Forrest.

Forrest was denied the opportunity to fulfil his Rangers destiny, it was a terrible decision. He was McCoist but better. We are seeing so many old heroes pass away

There's always an element of luck involved when it comes to managerial appointments. The Souness 'revolution' directly benefited from the English club ban from European competitions. Any new Rangers manager has to deal with the EPL completely dwarfing Scottish football, so those halcyon days of 1986 and 9 in a Row are long gone, as are the days of players training at Gullane Sands, Super Ally, John Greig booting opposition players up in the air and all the rest. Winning domestic titles should be our number one priority. We don't need a revolution for that - we just need a good manager and some better players.

Good draw.

Few times a midfielder or forward had the ball and instead of looking for a forward pass, they immediately turned back. Seems to be part and parcel of modern football but we need to be a bit braver, particularly against teams like Livvy.

Not bothered about thinking it's a foul, it's the "if that has been the other way round the referee would have given it" which is imaginary bullshit that shouldn't be allowed.

Champions at passing it around. Were lacking creativity and penetration though.

And so - the opportunity to play Bailey Rice goes a-begging; instead let's leave it to the group who have failed us so far...😒

Scot Symon was treated every bit as badly as Forrest and Willoughby. He brought huge success to Rangers and was ditched in shameful fashion. These awful decision probably cost us a European trophy and opened the door to Celtic's NIAR.

Not everyone was overjoyed about Beale being the new manager, I asked if he was signed why did they let him leave. A few on here mentioned the fact we were signing forwards who did not score goals.

On both counts I was not 'over the moon'.

I definitely didn't want him and said so on here.

I attended my first Rangers match at Cathkin Park in 1962, Jim Forrest was our centre forward. Jim was prolific, he had a plethora of very good inside forwards, wingers and, half backs supplying him. Mercurial is the best word to describe him, a fluidity that was most difficult to contain. His end at Rangers was most undeserving. In fact if he and his cousin, Alex Willoughby had been retained, we would have won the European Cup Winners Cup in Nuremberg in 1967. We lost 1-0 to Jock Wallace's Berwick Rangers in the third round of the Scottish Cup at the end of January'67 and the then Chairman, John Lawrence demanded scapegoats. Forrest, Willoughby and, George(the Dandy)McLean were deemed het. They were sold for comparative peppercorn fees to Aberdeen and Dundee. Jim notched 145 goals in 163 games.

A dreadful few weeks...

I've only ever heard good things about Forrest. He was still attending Rangers matches long after he left the club. It seems some rash decisions were made after the Berwick debacle.

Jus get out there and play them off the park go for goals from the first kick of the ball give the fans something to cheer about something to sing about MON THE GERS

Would have been the greatest striker in the clubs history if the manager at the time would have stood up to the chairman a whole career unfulfilled by panic in the boardroom and a silly little thing was we shared the same birthday R.I.P.

A goal machine, by all accounts, and records, who was treated very shabbily, after Berwick, taking the blame for the debacle. I have a feeling that this cost the Club, big time.

What is the 23-25? I've just realised what you mean and share your angst.

Willie Rae. Never going to replace McColl or Cox but stayed for years. Played when required for the odd game or a run of games and never failed.

23-25... I'm now not surprised the club is in this state.

Won't be long until some in our support will want him back at Ibrox.....😆

Yes, but keeping the club solvent and making the correct decisions for football on the pitch are two different things. For instance you can bring money into the club by arranging friendlies with Celtic in their managers country, great economic decision and a pretty poor football one. In my opinion nearly every manager since McCoist has been a knee jerk risk, even Gerrard was honestly. I'm glad it worked out for us, but Gerrard was a completely unknown quantity when it came to management. There is a history of the board making risky appointments with little interrogation of the options so it seems fine to me to point the finger at the board and ask why they keep making the same mistake? It's lead us to a situation where we are potentially becoming a poisoned chalice. We won't be touched by any reasonable manager as we keep having ti sack them and the support is turning on them in an instant.

I don't know what's worse. Matondo being injured or the fact that we're taking about a player who appears vital to our team but was basically on the way out the door 2 months ago. Man City are currently playing without Stones, De Bruyne and Silva yet have started the season with 6 wins from 6. I get that they are on an altogether different level but IMO it just emphasises that a team/squad with a true playing identity will not suffer as much when players are injured. On the other hand, it's no great surprise that our aimless playing style which relies on small moments of quality here and there will be heavily impacted by a few injuries.

Jinxed it. Watch all 3 get injured tomorrow 😆

I know exactly what the board think.

Buying players, for the sake of it, it seems, in the belief that they will fit in.

Haha - Borna apparently shits it when the going gets tough, Ridvan shits it when the going gets good

You listen to your missus - she knows best!

Tav has a problem with constant repetition, playing shite on a regular basis. I know, he scores twenty goals a season, but three quarters of them are pens and he costs us double the other five in goals conceeded over a season. Just my tupence worth.

Not me, though I thought he would do better than he’s done so far. As for players I was pleased when Butland signed. I’d never heard of the rest of them. I confess hope for Danilo when I learned he was being kept out of his team by a really good player. Lammers may prove me wrong if he gets time.

I don't think anyone has stated that the board should be "overthrown" or " replaced" and understand that they largely own Rangers. Again, I don't think anyone has turned their "ire" on the board, they have simply pointed out that the board has made and continues to make mistakes. If Rangers fail to win the league, MB will be held responsible, but in reality its those who employed MB that are responsible. A suggestion muted by Souness and supported by fans is to hire a football person to oversea the football side of the club. Thats not rocjer science, its something we should have done when Wilson left and something we should do now. However the board should be held to account for continually making the wrong decisions. They can hire who they like, but need to live the the consequences.

For some inexplicable reason I'm really looking forward to this game tonight. It's what I do before the disappointment sets in around 20 minutes. 😂

I wish his backers would explain what they see in Beale to inspire their confidence. Because I can’t see it. And who knew there were 48 members in Gersnet? 😉

I don't think the board publicly stating their requirements would do much good. If they stated the requirement is to win the league, they could wait until It's mathematically impossible before sacking him. Replacing the board is virtually impossible. Replacing Beale isn't.

Sadly, as soon as he growled "Ah've goat the battle fever oan", there would be a collective fit of the vapours, and a rush to the sick bay at Auchenhowie.
