Rangers 4 ST Mirren 0 fgs Morelos

I’m absolutely disgusted at those scenes. There is a feckin lockdown in force to prevent people dying. The selfishness on show by those idiots only goes to ensure it is longer until we can all get back to the games. I have suffered like the rest of us and am desperate to celebrate our long awaited title and the completion of a 9 year journey back to where we belong. I was at Brechin at the start, at Stirling when we lost for the first time in the 4th tier, at Alloa to see us knocked out the diddy cup, I gave up my ST and a fantastic seat to try to get rid of the spivs, I was in Luxembourg to see the worst ever defeat in our history, and I am desperate to be in attendance when we win the title but am resigned to the fact that I won’t be. There will be plenty of time to celebrate when the restrictions are eased, until then we just have to celebrate at home. That is utterly crap, but it is the only acceptable way to do it. I was highly critical of the bheasts for their antics at Hampden, and I am hugely disappointed that we are doing the same, although where the groin brigade wannabes are concerned I shouldn’t have been surprised. This has their hallmark all over it.

Think that may need to wait until the post split dead rubber matches, I can’t see SG starting fringe players before the title is official, or in the OF games.

I agree with this. Kamara, when on form, is just a much better player than Jack, and their styles clash so we don’t play as well, certainly in domestic games, with both in the side.

With any luck this should at least ensure we do not see Beaton appointed to any of our remaining games this season. The statement lets us know that for once we didn’t just lie down and take it, but we went through the proper channels to call out this cheating piece of filth to his bosses.

No stand-outs in what was a pretty drab performance where we had to gut it out and our sheer desire and determination got us over the line. In such a scrappy game I would normally go for the goalscorer as being the one who made the difference, but while Morelos overall game the other night was very good, I thought his finishing was very poor, so I am going elsewhere for a change. Our defence were not troubled much if at all and they all were comfortable, so I am looking further upfield and it was the constant desire of Aribo, Davis & Kamara that stood out for me with not much between them. But for that lovely drop of the shoulder that got him past his man and effectively set up the goal, I go for Kamara this time, although I can't disagree with Morelos, Davis, Aribo and can see why some are drawn to Goldson as well. Nice to see that right through the spine of the team we had MOTM candidates in what was a really scrappy game due to the conditions, refereeing, and opponent.

I still prioritise my own blood pressure to be calm before a combusting bheasts, but I take your point!

Can’t agree guys, I love nothing more than an at least 5 goal victory with great football on show. These turgid 1-0 affairs only give me some relief when the FT whistle goes, and you can’t really enjoy them until that point.

SG on absolutely top form in the post match, slaughters Beaton , the linesman, the 4th official all in one go. Simply sensational. Says he will sleep fine and sing Sweet Caroline on the bus home ???????

Agreed, he must call that cheat out this time. It’s gone on too long.

Yaaaaaaassssss F you Beaton!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes the pitch is garbage but Livy play 19 league games at home a season and there are not many 0-0 games. We just don’t play well against this opponent for some reason.

That’s a very low bar!

Only at ST renewal time!

Couldn’t agree more. Fireworks at any time are completely unnecessary, in a pandemic when nobody is allowed out its insane, and at 0-0 in a crap game even more ridiculous.

Linesman not taking any chances, close enough, up goes the flag just in case!

Lennon says a lot worse just about every week with no punishment

When even Andy Walker calls it a stonewaller, added to the several hundred bad decisions previously given by the cheat, you got to wonder why he isn’t called out on it by our club?

Cheating Beaton at it again

When did we win the league? This so far is an end of season kick about with nothing at stake. Our tempo, passing and movement is non existent so far. Waken up guys, we have a title to win!

I’m on record as saying I would have sacked the lot of them , but also that I was glad it wasn’t up to me, but what a way for Patterson to apologise to the manager, club & fans than with a 16 second goal in a finely balanced European tie at Ibrox. That is a decent start to repaying the faith SG has shown in him, but clearly there is a long way to go until that debt is paid off in full.

A fantastic watch as always. A couple of things I thought were interesting from it, firstly the ref saying thank you to Alfie when he stopped the game to allow treatment to the defender who pulled up injured. Secondly, the ref telling the keeper to stay on his line at the pens, but the speech play from one of the defenders trying to put Borna, and Ced the Ted, off just as they are about to hit it. Lastly, a lovely shot of Borna and their keeper smiling and chatting on the way off, no doubt discussing last weeks stare-off! Obviously it is so much better with no crowd noise as the mics pick up all the players shouts, coaches instructions, yelps from players kicked (and also when hardly touched!) and it won’t quite be the same when crowds are back, but it is going to be a marvellous series in our history to look back on a number of years from now.

It’s a really difficult one given the range of offences highlighted and the different times these offences occurred in. As I said at the start, I would normally be on the side of rehabilitation, but on this occasion with so much at stake and with emergency laws brought in to try to keep the pandemic in check I find it indefensible to attend a house party. The stupidity, arrogance, selfishness is, to me, off the scale and only blind luck meant they got caught out before they could rejoin training and force us to self-isolate a much larger number of our squad, perhaps causing us to withdraw from Europe, and get domestic games cancelled. The only other case I can think of that is also off the chart indefensible is Gazza’s wife-beating, which I personally find reprehensible and should have seen him sacked in my opinion. The other cases you mention, would have seen them sacked in Struth’s era I would guess, but in the 90’s were not really seen as being quite so bad on the scale of the moral compass, so other disciplinary routes were seen as enough punishment and I can’t recall disagreeing with how we handled those cases at the time. If all that makes me a little hypocritical, then fair enough. I’m glad I don’t have to make the decision!
