Who isn’t?

Who isn't opinionated and closed to other people's opinions? I hope some of us are not.

So, what point are you trying to make? I've said clearly enough that I turn to this thread at every opportunity. Try to keep up and try to follow what's being said.

Should it not be "I try to keep up and try to follow what's being said". You are relying on others to feed you information to your almost closed opinionated mind,

Must admit I was really worried after the sending offs. We lost our shape and Aberdeen were dominating with Stewart a real thorn in our side. But what a class finish from Defoe ?.

Bring it on.

 

Dave King loves this kind of stuff!

 

How many does Dave King win ?

As you say, Defoe doesn't even claim for it, he gets back up to try to win the ball and only stops when the ref has blown his whistle for a penalty.  And what player in the world will say "don't give it ref, there was no contact" ???

Harry Haddock.

I thought Morelos and Pena linked up well at times - they both speak Spanish. Get Carlos back in the team or send Defoe to Spanish lessons ?.

The game that really matters is on Wednesday against Aberdeen. Lose and we can just about forget about winning the league, and we will be fighting for second place. Win and we still have a chance and cement second place.

Need another goal to make it comfortable and to get my prediction right ?.

Halliday shouldn't be anywhere near the first XI, in my opinion.  

 

I would have agreed with that last season but definitely not this season. He shows a lot more grit and determination than some of his teammates.

Job done but I hope the manager makes the players walk back to Glasgow after that second half.

 

Yes, the penalty was a joke but our reaction was woeful.  Some players' attitude and application were completely unacceptable and it's happening too often.

 

Really disappointed by that after what was a decent first half. 

Maybe the pitch was a leveller but we should still do better.

Ah well the pitch will be playable so play game without fans as obviously terracing not safe?

I was at Cowdenbeath's play-off against Cove Rangers. The terracing is not that safe in the summer, nearly tripped over some guy's cairry-oot ?.

Aye, I’m havering mate, ignore me! However, after last night I don’t see it happening? We were just so poor I think everyone’s heads a mess with it? Another plastic pitch at the weekend dosnt fill me with confidence either?

I'm looking forward to a Rangers victory on Sunday - maybe against history and logic ?.

??? Can you imagine if they did though? Oh dear? It would be the meltdown of all meltdowns from St Pats!

I think it would be much worse for them if Rangers won the league ?.

Agreed.  I woke this morning at 3.30am and let out a depressive sigh.  Woke again at 6.30am to go to the gym, remembered the score and lay in bed and just said "fucks sake Rangers".  I hate us losing any game but that one last night seems particularly tough to accept.

And there's you waking up in sunshine whilst most of us are waking up in the freezing cold. The only ray of sunshine for us in freezing cold Scotia is a Rangers win ?.

Where am I being paranoid Craig? Mentioning that the fixture list has afforded them momentum at crucial points of the season is not paranoia, it’s a fact. I also said coincidence or not and it probably is coincidence if we are being honest.

 

However, you can’t deny it has presented them momentum and an advantage twice this season at crucial times. That may just be the luck of the draw but it’s there in black and white. 

 

This is all conjecture anyway. I don’t think we have enough to win the league. Wouldn’t it be great if Killie stopped their dream though? Can you imagine the meltdown??

Are you saying Kilmarnock can win the league??

Steve Clarke and other managers know we are going to try and play it out from the back so just instruct their players to mark all our forward and midfield players and to have one or two others ready to harry our back four. Last night Brophy seemed to perform that harrying role very successfully on his own. McAuley looks very uncomfortable on the ball so it was left to Worrall a lot to try and distribute the ball and he ain't too good either. Need to try punting the ball down the channels as a variation for Kent and Morelos to run onto, not down the middle as Defoe is tiny.

Livingston are not Kilmarnock and will be missing their best striker.

We got beat at Livingston last time out. It's a big test as is any away game it appears.

Defoe didn't look too pacey tonight. Hope he can be fitted in the team to better effect than tonight.

I never seen the game today but it seems like, reading the thread, that the team has gone from heroes to zeroes in ninety minutes.
The sun will rise tomorrow.

Not in bloody Scotland it won't,

A rather irrelevant post.  He's at the club, employed as a CB.  We send him back and we don't have enough cover at that position.  

 

I can almost guarantee you weren't making such remarks on December 29th post-game.

Worrall would just have cleared the ball against Celtic, instead he thinks he is Beckenbauer.

Our abysmal away form continues. Another test against Livingston coming up. 

Just like last season outfought and outplayed at Rugby Park.

Can't afford to make mistakes like Worrall's - changed the game.

Worral what a wally!

Nobody is forcing you.

The point is Rangers supporters are paying a licence fee and getting little coverage and what coverage we get is biased against us.
