There was a farmer had only one horse, and one day the horse ran away. The neighbours came to condole him and told the farmer it was terrible loss. The farmer said "Maybe"
A month later, the horse came home, this time bringing with her two beautiful wild horses. The neighbours became excited at the farmer's good fortune. Such lovely strong horses! The farmer said, "Maybe"
The farmer's son was thrown from one of the wild horses and broke his leg. All the neighbours were very distressed. Such bad luck! The farmer said, "Maybe"
A war came, and every able-bodied man was conscripted and sent into battle. Only the farmer's son, because he had a broken leg, remained. The neighbours congratulated the farmer. This is such good news they said. "Maybe" said the farmer.
So maybe, but its the bigger picture that's more important to us now. Although I must admit it would be good.

Ach!,you're just itching for an argument!.if you can't see the progression we are making then that's your problem!,everybody else can see quite clearly how much we have improved in such a short time!
Stop being such a drama queen. Its a forum.

Thats why I think you'll see half a dozen new arrivals in the summer. This team needs to improve 50 percent if it is to challenge for the title next season
I don't agree. You could bring in 50 players, but if they have no fear of the consequences of putting in a lazy display then it matters not a jot. Back to my Arsenal example.

It concerns me for the future when a team can lose a game due to attitude and laziness, without fear of facing the manager (Arsenal as an example).

I hear you mate,but we can't accuse this team of having a bad attitude over the whole season!,and going on what we have already witnessed this season from the players, MW & DW, they will address any problems and sort it as they have done over the season!, I don't think for a minute the team will lose confidence after tonight,quite the opposite in fact![/QUOTE]
I'm not blaming them of anything other than a stinking attitude tonight after a phenomenal first 20 mins. I don't get the 'confidence' theory. They will gain confidence from this car crash of a defensive display??

That's fair mate,I'm feeling as bad as you but football is what we seen tonight!,we have a lot to look forward to between now and the end of the season!
I don't disagree Ian about looking forward, but losing like that because of bad attitude does us no favours. It worries me. It makes them nervous for the next game rather than relaxed. We should be building up a real confident head of steam. Now we will have our defence slaughtered in the press (and rightly so). And WTF is wrong with Tavernier???? He was a car crash!!

Why is nobody giving any credit to Falkirk tonight?, I mean they are a good team and especially at home!, we should have buried them for sure but you have to give them credit for coming back and winning the game!
Because if it wasn't for our piss poor attitude they wouldn't have had a prayer. They were rank before we gave up!!

Aye but these things happen in football mate,it's what makes us love football....................
I don't feel in love with football tonight. Laziness and disregard towards your 'customer' isn't an admirable attribute in my eyes. Especially with a Rangers top on. Why should I even try to accept that when its not something I accept for myself?

Really?,why not?
Because laziness cost us. Nothing else.

They should not!
We were incredibly sloppy - Miller excluded.
So many simple mistakes from players we should be able to rely on. Passing was atrocious after the first half hour.
Tav was awful all night (and has been less than good for quite a while now). Holt was dodgy as well and anonymous most of the time. If Halliday plays as poorly as that against the green and grey filth then we will get hammered. Kiernan awful as well, he had come on leaps and bounds but he went backward tonight.
We were strolling it and unprofessionalism threw the game away.
You may well say these things happen but Bears paid good money to watch their team tonight. They deserved better than that inept capitulation.
Thank you. Just posted almost the same stuff at the same time thinking it was just me. LAZINESS was the cause of the capitulation in the main, and Tav looking like a boys league novice.

The lazy, sloppy attitude, after the best opening I've seen from us, is inexcusable. Strutting around like superstars playing 'hospital' balls to each other. I could actually see it coming. Wilson turning away from the shot for the first goal? I wish he was in front of me now. Someone else 'shat it' just after that in the same way (cant recall who it was. Could have been Wilson again). So fucking angry with that attitude I can't put it into words.
Watch the second half again if you dare. Do you know all Peter 'Guaridiola' Houston had to do in an offensive manner? "Throw two bodies down the left at all times. One wide left and one in the channel. Tavernier doesn't know if its New Year or New York these days. His centre backs will get drawn out to bail him out and will leave gaps."
Ready for the Dhims? Really?

Sutton has always come across to me as an aggressive bully boy, who doesn't like being answered back. This smacks to me of him trying to turn on MW after MW criticised his newspaper column, but its so badly written he fails spectacularly. After his articles on Deila and now on MW, Sutton has now covered all angles whereby regardless of the outcome of the game he can say "told you so".
Complete bell-end!

Just another journalistic opportunity (for those 'journalists' inclined) to stoke the anti-Rangers flames among the PL teams' fans. It's amazing that 4 years on , with us absent, and the hatred hasn't waned in the slightest.
I would love the hypothetical scenario where an option was available for us to go elsewhere for another 4 years if we chose to, so that we could pose the question "do you want us back or shall we go elsewhere for another 4 years?". I wonder what the response would be.
The more I read it the more myopic and immature it comes across.

Rangers getting some publicity over in the US on the James Corden Late Late show - funny sketch ?

When I first heard the draw I was a bit gutted. “We’re not ready for them. I don’t want to feel the pain of losing to them” was my initial thought (as I get older I get worse!). I still don’t think our defence is ready to handle their aerial power at set pieces, or Griffiths\Commons on their game. But then, looking at the bigger picture, I have changed my view. I now believe that, other than the pride of losing to them in a one-off defeat, we have NOTHING to lose. This is the best draw possible.
On the negative side I would rather lose to them in the semis than the final. On the positive side we will hopefully have the title in the bag, and a Hampden cup win a few days before in the bag, and we’ll be buzzing. The last time we played them we were lambs to the slaughter – Miller up on his own against two big burly centre backs, getting no service whatsoever. We looked SCARED in that game. We are now a far better team. They are a poorer team. They have not faced a team with our movement and we WILL create chances this time. It’s down to whether we take them.
For me though it’s the bigger picture. If we lose, we still know that we are on the right road with our excellent management team, and that the margin of a potential loss could be the barometer of where we need to be. On the other hand, if we win (which this time we CAN) we know full well they will invest big style, and we will have to back our manager in kind.
Crucially for me is the fact that their manager will be sacked (no debate!) if we beat them. They will then have to find a new manager quickly to lead them into a new season with us there. What new manager will find it easy with a first team squad the same size as their recent average home crowd, and none of them his players? If they beat us then guaranteed the bold Ronny is a hero again (after a fist pumping show at Hampden) and they are then left with the bad penny. While the Magic Hat has another summer to plan his ‘Blitzcrieg’ on the PL.
One last thing for me is that next season will not hold any ‘shocks to the system’ when it comes to facing them. This game will live with the players all summer, regardless of outcome, and will prepare them well.
Nothing to lose. So much to gain. FEAR NO FOE.
I’ve Got The Battle Fever On!

I watched that with a great sense of pride at being a Rangers Man. A thoroughly classy, professional performance. I prayed we would be playing that kind of football after years in the wilderness, but never did I think it would be arrived at over one dramatic season when we had to get it right. Our management team have performed a bit of a miracle. I will say nothing about the previous years. Now is a time to enjoy.

Anchor we prefer not to have links on the site to that moron. If you just mention it anybody who is wanting to know what he is saying can look it up.
I don't mean this snappily we just don't like giving him hits.
Ah ok Pete - can understand that - no worries. I hadn't looked him up - his link came up when I did my search. But I will know in future mate.

I can't stand Hibs or their fans, but I would rather they were in the PL next year before Falkirk, Raith or Killie any day of the week. I also take his ramblings with a pinch of salt. He's just on the wind up and he can be quite fair occasionally. Whereas Peter Houston...............

The big guns of the English legal establshment lie in wait at the Supreme Court to obliterate the ridiculous 'common sense' judgement by the three clowns at the Scottish Court of Session last year.
Sit back and enjoy fellow bears......and just wait for the mhedia implosion afterwards.
I'd rather we didn't tempt fate with this stuff which is just a mixture of guesswork and wishful thinking. It was very annoying (to say the least) on the very day of the last disappointing outcome, when we were being informed across the board by 'people very much in the know' that we had already won - only to find out that nobody was really 'in the know' at all!

The mckay evaluation is a joke.In what respect? I'd be looking for good money for McKay as I agree with the OP that he is a genuine talent and I don't think we have even come close to seeing his best.
Sorry J - just read the OP properly and can see where it originally came from.

Oh God how I long for the day again when Rangers Men were just Rangers Men. Its actually like a re-run of the old Life of Brian sketch.
Anyway Chris Graham does a grand job of sticking up for my Club whenever I've seen him on TV.

While I agree largely with Tannochside's post I can't really argue with this either. Fair comment.
