  1. is it against the law to have a flare on you when out and about? I know its illegal to enter a sporting ground with one but cant see how the dwindling police budget is being wisely spent sending officers round pubs looking for people who are legally carrying flares, which they can do nothing about if they magically see one. Are these searches even legal? Is it not discrimination to pick on a group and search them based on nothing more than police prejudice. Who decides who looks like a flare carrier? all in all pretty embarrassing behaviour all round. No wonder police Scotland are turning a blind eye to so many crimes and are penniless, they have the great flare operation to focus on.
  2. He deserved the criticism. Performances where atrocious. Same as attitude and effort. Just the same as he now deserves praise for turning things around. All of us would prefer he was a success doesn't mean that excuse after excuse will be accepted for falling short of expected norms. There is no middle ground. Follow the Rangers way or get out. Don't cry about it.Do better and stop telling people its just another game. Its not nor will it ever be that way here. If it was he wouldn't have received such a high salary for managing in the Scottish 1st division nor his players for playing here they would be on wages like Aberdeen pay.
  3. Still have Thomson unless he's out on loan
  4. Did we not agree to never allow that idiots stuff on the site anymore? Sick to death of gers fans spreading this idiots ramblings Not a direct go at the OP just sick of seeing rangers fans discussing whatever lies he makes up
  5. Great result today. Not just the score but also the way we went about things. Pressing was fantastic and makes a world of difference. Great team selection by the manager too can't say I thought that pre game but he was definitely proven correct. Play like that all year and we will romp second place and push them far harder
  6. we play forwards in midfield, centre mids on the wings, forwards out on the wing, defensive mids as the point of the mid three all to fit this formation when injuries and such take affect. The formation should not be the be all and end all. The formation should fit the available squad not the other way round. There is nothing wrong with him having a preferred formation that he builds the squad towards but you cant fit a square peg into a round hole as they say. His inability to adapt has cost us points this year
  7. puts to bed the nonsense MW said about us not being able to attract International players. He had a poor record at Brentford with his signings ,that was largely glossed over by the return on gray. Quite a few of his signings never made it into the first team plus a few were moved on very quickly, deemed to be not good enough. MOst didnt make any real return or positive contribution. Said this back at the time but most wanted to just concentrate on the positives which was fair enough. We need a proper scouting network in place to advise MW. If we don't get MW help with identifying players we will continue to sign dross and fling money we don't have away. Any manager who takes a 50/50 gamble on two out of his three top signings, when budget is a real issue shouldn't be the guiding force identifying targets.
  8. Kenny Miller in midfield! I give up. If we are badly beaten today he should be sacked. No ifs buts or maybes. Playing players outwith their positions just to fit a formation is madness
  9. I would struggle with any name change but as gunslinger said above its a sign of the times and we must look at things like this.
  10. just had a read of the king statement. Must admit to being surprised. Most people i had talked to said not much was said but reading over it a lot can be taken from it 1. Mark Warburton will not be sacked this year if results are bad, unless so bad it is deemed to be effecting the long term return on initial purchase share price 2.Mike Ashley is stagnating our progress in more ways than just the erroneous contracts.he is convincing shareholders that our board will effect their return so not to allow them the chance to run the club as they see fit. 3. Future spending will not be based on the hope of European competition income nor secured against that hope. 4. All loans are interest free and unsecured. £13m in total with £6m in purchase price amounts to a larger spend than promised at this point according to King. 5. the board will have to add non supporters to counter shareholder worries. Most likely puts a pin in any notion of fans groups getting an official say on running the club in the near future or unless resolution 11(?) is passed.
  11. Would be happy if we at least signed players who's attributes fit our formation instead of shoehorning them in
  12. avoid if already pissed off.
  13. Everyone at the club involved with today's squad should be ashamed, but as the season has shown so far i doubt any of them are. Can it be said that any single player is sitting in that dressing room right now shattered after giving his all? Every poor performance is followed by fans pointing at possession stats and chances for compared to against. I think its just as well nobody can collate stats on effort, application and desire. We didn't deserve anything from the game today no matter the possession we had or the chances. There is no doubt that our players are of a better standard than those of Ross County but only one set of players are sitting there having given everything they had. Only one set of players earned a point for their club. After every poor performance which is now most weeks we get the usual comments from players and the manager saying they understand the levels expected from the fans. That drawing isn't good enough, but do any of them agree and believe in it? That's the question for me. Does the manager demand better or does he call it just another game? Several times now the manager before or after games refers to it as just another three points. That's a philosophy that seems evident in his players performance. Its never just another 3 points at this club. Its pride. Its professionalism. Its our way.Its a calling if you like. All of us who follow this club believe in it to the bottom of our hearts. The manager and players need to install that mentality every time they put on the strip or the tie. Just turning up will never be enough. Getting through will never be enough. Making excuses will never do. The players showed last week that they have the talent to play fantastic modern fast paced football. Unfortunately only 1 game in 20 at best this happens. Something needs to change and its not going to be our demands or principles. Its looking like it will take a massive shock to the system before this squad get on board full time. Whether the manager will instigate that shock or not is yet to be seen and getting less likely with every passing week. He might think nobody died after losing 5 against our biggest rival but hes wrong. Thousands of us died a little bit and continue to do so after every sign of our standards beginning to erode. Its time the manager removed his hands from his pockets and gave them hell. Five minutes was all it took today to see we were not at the races but barely a voice was raised in anger from the sideline. Each lacklustre display gives credence to Barton's apparent anger at performance levels. No excuses shape up or ship out.
  14. They have been really poor. Such a disappointment after last weeks performance. Hopefully we play the second half with far more conviction. A rollicking should be on the cards
  15. don't look focused or ready for this game. Poor first half back to the 433 with miller stuck on the left. Just doesn't work especially when some of the players look disinterested . Passing is nearly as slow as the movement
  16. really enjoyed the football of the first half, was great to watch. Here's hoping we can continue to replicate that standard of play.
  17. Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
  18. not that i think it will happen but if we did draw games playing like this i could handle it
  19. its complex to say the least. Dont think miller is playing as a forward more like a free role in midfiled that is used to cover tavernier on the right. Also looks like we have dropped the point man in the midfield three with halliday playing deep but both holt and windass side by side but rotating depending on who picks up posssession. The movement is breath taking. Couldnt speak highly enough about it
  20. disagree its 433 more like a 41311 with ohalleron floating from right to left
  21. A football masterclass first half! Absolutely superb. Formation is a breath of fresh air and the role changes are so complex its hard to describe them all Best of all its exciting football again!
  22. It was the usual. We have loads of possession but all in the wrong areas. We didn't have the ability to hold the ball in the final third for any length of time. Not seen the stats but felt like the best chances fell to st Johnstone who were better in the final third than us. Felt like they had far more shots on goal and looked the more likely to score. All we did was pass across the middle and back again until we lost it. Think in the second half we had 2 shots on target. The formation doesn't fit the squad as was highlighted when windass went off. We had nobody who could play his position but still stuck with it.rotating Miller forester and McKay with none of them having any effect.The managers loyalty to his formation is costing us games plan and simple . It doesn't fit our resources at this time and leaves us unable to create enough chances. I really don't understand what he thinks is going to change when we do the same things over and over again. The players do not have the ability to hold the ball and play sharp short passing under pressure. Fitness won us a lot of games last year that just isn't happening this season
  23. Have been told ohalleron is in dog house for fighting with tavernier last wednesday at training and Forrester is suspended for a week for breaking club rules .Rossiter is seemingly homesick and wants to go blah blah blah. Have taken them all with a pinch of salt.
