Decent enough professionals would know how to play the game even without someone dictating from the sidelines, explaining tactics, or indeed standing in front of them. Once the rhythm is there, the rest is in the notes.

 

BTW, it is noteworthy that those on here of the negative inclination are usually the ones who give - more often than not unnecessary - verbal pelters to those of a different, more positive opinion. A bit strange that.

der berliner i admire your indefatigable spirit

who would you like to see as the new manager if no holds were barred?

Hearts are awful. I would have expected pedro to win comfortably today and did so with murty.

 

Motherwell i could see beating us but not hearts.

Maybe a fine is harsh in his circumstances but taking your shirt off has been outlawed for years so he knows it is yellow. If he mistimed a tackle 2 minutes after he would walk leaving the team to fight with 10 men. Just as a show of discipline I would fine him but probably a small amount as a statement it is not acceptable.

c'mon tae f... pete

the lad's been getting dog's abuse and scores a vital goal i think he entitled to lose it

especially in front of that travelling support

stevie clarke's 54 ya pished stained jaikie

we showed a bit of bottle today to come back from a goal down

There are those who will miss Miller's pointing, misplaced passing, poor first touch, and head shaking.

Include me out.

 

I'll be happy if he scores, but I will not be investing in that outcome today @Murrayfield.

we may well see the "best" of him now as he's going to get slaughtered if he doesn't perform after his shenanigans

IF he plays up front in a 2 with morelos we may even see the best of morelos also

play him in midfield or the hole where he drops deep and gives possession away well....

RANGERS: Foderingham, Tavernier, McCrorie, Wilson, John, Candeias, Jack, Holt, Miller, Windass, Morelos.

SUBS: Kelly, Hodson, Bates, Barjonas, Herrera, Hardie, Kranjcar.

So, you meant Rangers' Pools?

 

Rangers should never have an apostrophe within the word. Not in relation to our football club anyway.

I blame their schools

Who ever we get will be ridiculed by the press and rangers fans will fall for it in droves.

only really if they talk absolute bullshit at press conferences

murty was like a breath of fresh air yesterday

no nonsense, humble, straight forward

that back 4 is the stuff of nightmares

For these 2 photo's alone he should be banned.

 

 

good god

kill it with fire

For you? A manager who's been a complete and utter failure for 4 years doesn't entice me. That said, he has still proven himself in a big league and that instantly puts him ahead of most of the rest.

he's a troll

ignore him

I think the events of the last couple of weeks demonstrated institutional failure

what is he getting at here?

Would be more concerned with who asks to leave. Going to be a few I reckon

why?

who would you be sorry to see go?

it better be a top quality manager who commands respect from the first second as that shower in the dressing room have now seen off 2 weaklings

1 win in 5 league games at home this season

aye he's unlucky

I believe we are not far from having a good team

I keep reading this on here and its total and utter nonsense

When you defend the indefensible you have to expect people to call you out on it. I am not saying that is what happened here.

 

However, you continually defend people at the club (back to Green, Llambias, Leach, McCoist etc etc - not having a dig at that by the way), which is admirable - but when it appears to others that what you are saying is either fence sitting or plainly wrong then you can expect others to disagree with you. Gonzo wasn't goading you - he was lightly ribbing you because you have this "everything will turn out ok in the end" philosophy - again, admirable. But with each passing game it really does look like Pedro wont be able to turn us around - so when you defend him, defend the results, defend the performances, you HAVE to expect that others who disagree with you will tell you so.

 

If you consider it goading then it appears to me that you have a thin skin.

 

Gonzo's post was hardly trolling, IMO.

no

it isn't

I think to be fair to Rodgers, Imps aside, his record isn't that bad for Scottish football. The one thing he does that make the rest of it almost irrelevant, is to get to the CL every year. It's not exactly the hardest route but then neither are the likes of Progres, Malmo, nor Kaunas.

 

That they rake in the £30m+ and we don't is the most relevant part, and for that he is a success.

 

I can't see any OF managers living with £200m+ teams theses days.

his record's deplorable

So who's his replacement then ? Will we go for the dream team of Miller, Jig & Boyd ? That's my biggest fear believe me

Over to the Board

the footballing side has been an absolute shambles since they took over

He spent millions because he had to replace all those duds MW brought in last summer. And spending millions doesn't guarantee anything.

 

FWIW I think we need to be patient & allow a team to get built over the course of the next year or so. It won't happen in one transfer window

 

As I've said on here before we cannot keep recruiting a dozen or so players every summer as we've done for the past three summers.

 

We need to get a settled side and we do now have some players who are good enough for us although not as many as we need.

he's already finished

The worst results we've had came in SFL3, getting beat by Annan & Peterhead at home and losing to Stirling Albion away whilst their manager was absent because he was getting married.

 

McCoist didn't see fit to resign then. Why should Caixinha resign after losing a LC semi ?

he should be resigning because he can't win 3 games in a row in this backwater after being allowed to spend millions

He’s probably 10 times richer than 99% of the folk on this board, can speak a few more languages than 99% of us, and seems pretty well educated compared to many folk. Not bad for an imbecile.

 

Seriously, can we stick to where he makes football mistakes rather than insult him?

he talks utter crap in interviews, second language or not

HE'S embarrassing the club let alone the players which HE signed

the guy's an imbecile

14 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats out of Pedro's 25 competitive games. We have not won 3 consecutive games since Pedro took over.

 

I read a lot of excuses being made for the manager. Pedro is exactly as his CV suggested he would be, mediocre at best. The longer we kid ourselves that he has a chance to turn it round, the further away our recovery stays. It is as clear as day that Pedro is putting everything into this job but getting no consistent performances out of two sets of players, either the ones he inherited or the ones he has brought in. That is down to his lack of managerial talent, pure and simple.

 

I like him, I like to listen to him speak, I would love him to be a success. He carries himself well, is very dignified and understands what we are all about as a club and support. But what he speaks about doesn't come to fruition on the park. Somehow his vision and ideas are either being ignored or are not understood. That is the manager's job, and he is unable to get it done.

 

I predicted on day one he wouldnt see his first anniversary, not because I want him to fail, it is because he had no right being appointed by Mr Park and our board. It was a bad gamble on a 100/1 shot with the future of our club (thankfully only our fortunes on the park at risk), and it has failed. The board have backed him loyally and financially, and if they didnt bin him after Progres (which was a no-brainer) they wont bin him after yesterday, and we will continue winning a couple and then not winning, while losing all the big important games. We may still grab second place if Dolly is also inconsistent, but we will not be making progress until we change manager.

 

Some say can we afford it, I say can we afford not to? Who to bring in i'm asked? Apparently we got around 70 CV's last time even though Pedro was a done deal, get the word out again and we may be surprised by some of the talent out there that would love to manage us.

 

I dont believe we will make a managerial change, and I dont know what kind of result will be bad enough given some of the results mentioned above were not enough for the board to make a move, and we may well win our next couple of games and think we have turned the corner again, until the next setback. It is, in my opinion, always going to be this long and winding road under Pedro, and inconsistency doesnt get you anywhere, even in Scotland where the level of quality is at an all-time low.

 

The squad is vastly improved, as it should be with a near £10M outlay, but still short in a few areas. We look defensively much better (not hard after MW) and we look like we have goal threats. We have some better players in midfield. But are we really that much better a team?

 

At this stage last season under MW, we had 15 points after 9 games, had just lost to celtic in the SF of the league cup. So we are 2 points better off but lost to a provincial club in the SF this time round. Obviously MW didnt have Europe due to the disgraceful performance in the SCF, so we cant compare Euro campaigns, but clearly MW couldnt have done any worse than the worst result in our 145 year history on Pedro's watch. So for £10M have our fortunes improved at all?

the answer's "about 6 months ago"
