Blue Moon

We struggled with Hibs big attackers, particularly after Sterling went off.  We defintely need a CB with height and heading ability and an upgrade on Ridvan.  Our midfield 2 were getting overrun especially as the game progressed.  We needed a change at half time that came too late.  We desperatley need a set piece specialst.  We get a shy in line with the 18 yard line that is always thrown backwards and ends up with our defenders.  The manager was too slow to react today.  Beaton was dross in the second half.

A rerun if anybody wants to watch it again.

Thanks so much.  Was brilliant to watch the game back.  I knew we were on top at the match but not really by how much.  Awesome from us.

Ah OK. Apologies @Blue Moon. I misunderstood your post

It was quite vague.  I can be lazy at times, never used to be.  I blame X.

Nothing? Seriously? There was me thinking he was integral part of a league winning team and helping us reaching a European final. 

 

 

Indeed what SBG said is what I intended.  Should have said we didn't get a penny back.

And a belated Happy New Year from me too.

So many people in contention for this one and very dfficult to choose but I will go for Raskin.

We spent a fortune on him and got nothing back.  It is a no from me.  He flatters to deceive.

Igamane

I am scunnered with this.  The boy never got a chance.  What are we doing?

Tremendous from Igamane

This is the most inept performance I've ever seen from a Rangers team.  I've no idea where we go from here.

I am not voting this time. Don't think anyone deserves it.

So many missed fouls, jersey pulls, illegal blocks, play on with fouls with no advantage etc at Paisley.  I don't think the refs care about what we say .  It won't end well.

I think Hagi again was our best player but going for Cerny for securing the points.

Happy with the 3 points yesterday.  That was one of the coldest days I've ever watched football.  Credit to the players for seeing out the game in those awful conditions.  

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Butland ❤️

We will be there on Saturday too.  Love a 3 O'clock KO on a Saturday.

The referee should not have to ask. VAR are checking everything in the game. It's not like they are sitting in a wee room with their feet up drinking coffee and are waiting on a buzz from the ref. A foul that close to the line should be heavily scrutinised. This bloody stinks.

You are absolutely right.  There is a good post from a Rangers FB site detailing the VAR mistakes over the last couple of years.  If they are mistakes why do they never go against them when we are playing them?  Cheating on the park is one thing but cheating with VAR is on a different level entirely because everyone can see it and they've got the system so stitched up they don't give a monkeys.

I think I've finally decided I'm not a fan of Butland.

 

I was flabbergasted when some thought he was worth £15m last season, but I did appreciate his contribution. 

 

He's a good shot-stopper, but he lets in goals that he shouldn't, and he's not good with his feet. 

Join the club.  I would happily take cash for him in January.

I would have gone for Raskin but for his contribution to 2 of their goals.  No-one else really stood out for most of the game so going to give it to Hagi for a decent performance throughout.

Clement now has the worst starting record in OF games of any Rangers manager in our history.

 

The league was over in October, we've lost the 1st domestic cup of the season and Celtic are cantering away towards another treble. 

 

But we beat Killie and Ross County, drew with Spurs so we're progressing. 

 

Hopefully the new CEO and Chairman give Clement another new contract tomorrow. 

 

In summary all sunshine and roses over Ibrox way. We'll batter them on the 2nd of January it's written in the stars. 

 

I was not happy a couple of months ago like the rest of us but let's be realistic.  We have lost experienced players and replaced them with young projects and frees and Propper that I always thought was a last minute panic buy.  We have no money to sack the manager and lets face it who would take the job anyway given our recent manager sackings?   I see enough now to get behind the team.  This season was always going to be very difficult but looking forward we can improve the team in January and the summer transfer window.  Clement is going nowhere.

Madden???????????

Sorry, Beaton 🤣

Madden was awful today.  Far too quick to book our players and some of them ridiculous bookings.  He is a total wimp.
