Haven't got the time to read the article  just now but from your headline alone, I'll respectfully disagree with you about Ojo. 

Last season, Kent took until the home game v Hearts in October before we began to see glimpses of what he could do. 

Let's be honest here, Ojo is a young player who is inexperienced. He, like Kent, may take time to settle. Let's give the guy time before questioning if he's been a success or failure after what, 5 competitive games?? Four of which were like a heavy bounce game. 

I'll give him another month or two before judging him. 

I'll get round to read it fully later on.

Thats a poor midfield Gav. ?

 

How you doing Pal?

I'm doing good. You still in sunny Singapore?

I wonder how the red tops will twist this to make Gerrard out to be the bad guy. 

I'd take Flanagan in the starting XI before Barisic.

Bully for you However, you're not just assessing are you? You're casting doubts on the suitability of our manager, which is a ridiculous thing to do at this stage.

If that's what my analysis results in then yes, I'm casting doubts on our manager. It's not a huge doubt, just a slight one. 

I'm also casting doubts on the suitability of Barisic.

I always wondered who would be first to start the customary self-flagellation. What i didn't expect was to see Gerrard being undermined after one game of a 38 game campaign. Why don't you assess the winners at the finishing line and not when the starting gun has just been fired?

 

 

I assess managers and players throughout the season. My opinion isn't just after 1 league game and 4 qualifiers this season. 

Arsenal attack v Arsenal defence. 

What our fans did yesterday on the roof of the disabled section was pathetic. Absolute fuckin cunts. Killie should charge Ranngers and Rangers should bill the fools for the repair and then get them done with a vandalism. 

Morons. 

I have a worry in the back of my head with Gerrard. We seem to blow hot and cold. We're good at home but so unpredictable away from home. He seems to have 2 sets of tactics and doesn't know what his best XI is. 

There's just a doubt in my head with him. It's a small doubt but a doubt none the less. 

Jack for me but Goldson was a close second. I actually thought Katic played well yesterday and won a lot of headers.

Really he was playing as a centre forward should be ---hassling,being a nuisance,getting stuck in if that is reason for booking it's unbelievable.

That's not the reason though.

You mean making challenges? 

No, I mean constant fouling.

No, it backs up my point that teams are not refereed to the same standard. 

 

Morelos thrown to the ground today with no action taken?  Yet again, players are given free reign to assault him. 

Let's be honest, Morelos should've also been booked for continually fouling. 

That was a tough watch today. A lot of the ball but no creativity. No spark. No urgency. We get the ball into good positions then slow it right down and lose the good position we got into in the first place. 

Katic is like a chance a game from corners and Goldson's header was like a bullet but we can't rely on set pieces all season. 

Ojo reminds me of how Kent started off at Rangers. He took time to find his feet and often wasted possession and look how he turned out. I'm hoping Ojo turns out the same. Jones looked more direct in the small amount of time he had on the pitch but he has the experience of how to play in Scottish football. 

A hard fought victory but a lot to improve on. Aot. 

I had no idea Bilic was named manager at WBA and only found out Cocu was the Derby manager when we played them a week or so ago. 

I've always had a soft spot for Sheff Wed so I'd like to see them have a good go at it. Other than that, I'm not that fussed. 

Dortmund v Bayern Munich in the German Sup Cup Final. After 80 minutes it's 2-0 to Dortmund. What a game it's been. 

German football is the best. It's fast, technically brilliant and entertaining. 

The referee and VAR are having a stinker though. Ref's seem to be shit everywhere.

Is it still going to be on that obscure channel? I used to watch every week on sky but stuff paying extra to watch it

I used to love sitting down on a Sunday night to watch the live Italian game. Sunday's just aren't the same since some two bob channel won the rights.

So he's not right and they aren't equally shite towards every team?

 

Free reign is given to players to assault Morelos, for example, and Brown is given impunity to go about kicking players regularly without any action.

 

There's no way that teams are refereed to the same standards.

Brown is often booked for challenges that merit red cards. That back my point up, the standard of referee in Scotland is poor. 

That said, fans down south believe the standard of referee down there is shocking too.

So your considered opinion is that Rangers are in no way disadvantaged by refereeing decisions. Someone posted stats on here a while back that suggested otherwise. In fact it looked beyond any doubt.

No. All clubs are disadvantaged due to referees incompetence. I don't think ref's are out to get us, they're just awful at what they do.

Sorry Gazza, but that is simply not accurate when faced with the facts. Collum is a Rangers hating cheat, as is Clancy and a few others. They referee our games with a different perception of what is and isnt a foul depending on how it affects us. There were far too many incidents last season to simply say it is incompetence which is balanced across other games. If it was incompetence then surely we would have been the beneficiaries of such unbiased incompetence just as often as we were the victims? I reckon biased/cheating refereeing cost us at least 10 points last season. 

Fans at every club up and down the country moan about referees being corrupt and biased against their club. Fans from the smaller clubs moan that Rangers and Celtic get all the decisions.

Isn't it strangely predictable how few complaints are ever made about the proliferation of Palestinian and Catalan flags that seem to be everywhere you look in Scotland. But put up a Union flag and you're up to your neck in offendedness. Honestly, it was such a bad idea to ban handguns in this country.

The only place I see those flags is at Celtic Park or hanging off the shoulder of a Celtic fan at festivals. I can honestly say I've never seen one flying in a back garden or from the window of a house or wherever else. 

Jeez, that was a hard watch. 

Our creativity is really poor and we were so slow in our play also.

Read it again Gazza.

 

Try “final say”.

Hahaha. Amazing how a word can change the meaning of a sentence. 

Genuine mistake.

You're right.

 

But you'll also remember the final game of last season where Killie were given a late penalty whilst we were denied two stonewallers.  The ref was, of course Willie Collum.

Yeah I remember that and I get what you're saying but I firmly believe that any referee would've made the same decisions because they are so poor at what they do. 

Apparently the Morelos to China deal was 100% false and made up.
