  1. Not too many points in the end, but we have a maximum! Correct Result (1 pt): Everyone who entered. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): MacK, Franc, Ian and T-1000. FGS (2 pts): Dado, Devil, MacK, WB91 and BD. Correct Score (3 pts): MacK, Franc and Ian. MacK takes the maximum 7 points! There's a group bunching together at the top. Latest Standings:
  2. Well done, Rangers. Tricky tie, overcome with a professional performance.
  3. Good work from Itten down the left. He deserves credit for that. He's not quite found his feet yet, but I still think he'll develop into a good option for us. He's a good option now, to be fair.
  4. 0-3 up, 10 minutes to go and 35 year old Davis is pressing and hounding at the oppositions byline. Phenomenal.
  5. I'm very pleased with those two goals: They're well worked, but they're easy, squared balls, not any risk taking. The opportunity opened up, and we've got our reward for doing the right thing. There's nothing I hate more than someone taking a difficult shot when the square ball guarantees the goal.
  6. I think we need to come up with a new position for where Tavernier plays...
  7. David De Gea using his injury lay off to take charge of County today.
  8. Generally, he's too important; a bit like Tavernier. In today's case, though, there are no replacements ready, with Katic out, Edmondson disciplined and Helander still self-isolating.
  9. Was it Barisic that took the corner for Goldson's goal? Important assist, if so. But, I don't think the defenders covered themselves in glory. Actually, I think SG or Micheal Beale deserved to be MotM for the tactical shift; I thought that was superb and crucial to us getting back into it in the second half.
  10. It's tricky. Davis was good second half, but not so much the first. Arfield was quite quiet, I thought, but then stepped up second half. Kent worked his socks off, and slotted into the 4-4-2 and helped out a lot defensively when it was needed. Morelos worked hard too, but nothing came off for him. I don't think there were any real standouts, but Kent did more than anyone else, for me, so I'll pop for him.
  11. £25 Million.
  12. How is it a "good goal" if it's offside? It's offside.
  13. You might want to change your Chelsea predictions: I've added Zouma to my Fantasy League team, so they'll end up shipping 5 to Leeds. (I wouldn't be unhappy with that...)
  14. It's not just a couple of wrong decisions over the course of a season, though, it was a couple of times every game! (Slight exaggeration...) But, to be honest, I just don't agree with that viewpoint: I want the correct decisions, even if it means a few stoppages. We stop every two seconds for fouls, anyway...
  15. I've said this before, but I would like to see teams get appeals, like Cricket and Tennis. Say, 3, 4 or 5 appeals during a match. If you think you should have had a penalty, you appeal; win, you get the decision overturned, or lose and you lose an appeal.
  16. I can understand the time issue -- even if I do not think it's as long as people say (last week's Villa goal was the longest I've seen and I timed it at two and a half minutes, which is not excessive for a really tight call like that). It's a small price to pay for the correct decision. Too many conflate VAR with the rules. VAR has just highlighted the issues with the rules. And, there's still human error, going back to that Villa goal, where they were so concerned with the offside that they missed the foul in the build-up! The handball rule is stupid. The offsides need work, with regards to which part of the body is used as a line. (I wonder if they could put something in the players shirts that the technology could track, thus giving a repeatable, consistent and instant decision?) These things are not VAR; they're the rules. It's just that now we have a way of getting to the correct result. I don't understand why you'd want incorrect decisions over correct ones at the cost of a few seconds wait. Again, if we had VAR in last season's LC final, we may well have won it. I just can't accept the 'they won it with an illegal goal, but hey, it was a great fast-paced game'. I'm a Rangers fan; I want the right decisions.
  17. What is it that people think is "worse" about football with VAR?
  18. Ross County 1 - 2 Rangers FGS Aribo
  19. The scoreline stumped us all, I think. Correct Result (1 pt): Rousseau, Dado, BHB, GS, One, Yorkie, DJ, Stew, Stevie, BF, Devil, TinMan, BEAR, compo, WB91, Franc, MacK, CammyF, T-1000, TB, FS, Ted, 26th, r_s and DMAA. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): WB91, Franc, FS and r_s. FGS (2 pts): - Correct Score (3 pts): - Latest Standings:
  20. I think tactically, we've been a lot better (better block, better pressing), but that sloppiness is still prevalent.
  21. We've gone to a 4-4-2 in defence, which should help, but we need to cut out the sloppy mistakes.
