Is this the MOST EMBARRASSING result in Rangers History?

Berwick in '67 was always regarded as our most embarrassing...

 

...since then we've had some bad results, more recently Stirling Albion, Annan Athletic and Peterhead.

 

Is the Forfar Athletic League Cup ko now officially the most embarrassing game in our history?

[chilledbear 16]

Unfortunately not that unexpected.

[Tannochsidebear 2,316]

Absolutely not. When we lost at home to a lower league side for the first time in our history under PLG, that was truly embarrassing.

 

Today, with the players available and difficult conditions was a testimony to how we needed to improve from last year, and hopefully the signings made this summer will make a difference.

 

12 players out today and many others out of position or not yet match fit.

 

Yes the tactics were awful, the desire and fight was missing, and his tinkering with the formation was unfathomable, but the most embarrassing result in our history, not a chance.

Considering most of the Rangers players on that field today wouldn't get anywhere near previous teams we've fielded in the 00's 90's , 80's etc etc, I'd say no.

[D'Artagnan 173]

No.

 

But the managers post match excuses most certainly were.

Ally has gave us more than a few which could be considered our worst ever. Annan was a real low.

[der Berliner 3,279]

12 under, including a few regulars. Probably one of our youngest starting eleven these last 12 months. A stand-in centre half gets caught early on and we're up hill from then on. Little alone squandered 5 chances, some others followed suit. From the sound of it, we played them off the park during much of the second half. And then the old rule of any cup game strikes you down, whether you are Rangers, ManU or Barca. If you don't take your chances, the opposition will grab what little gets in their way. Seen it before and will see it again.

 

These are no excuses, just experience and facts.

 

When the Paul Murray stuff came out yesterday, I had that nagging feeling in the back of my mind saying: hey, great timing! Couldn't have waited till Sunday or Monday, aye? Then came Green's words, Mather's statement. What a way to introduce everyone to the first meaningful game this season.

 

And BTW folks, we should finally grow some ba...ckbone and take the odd draw and defeat that we will face on the chin and don't come up with that utterly childish babble about "worst" or "most embarrassing" result every time a game goes against us. We have over the years seen stuff that beggars belief, but we also have seen us dominate the rest of Scotland for the best part of 3 decades. Any level-headed Bear will still know that we are plying our trade in a game of chance though. By default, our chances are greater than that of our opposition. Over the years, we've taken almost all of our chances too. Given the circumstances, I don't mind if the opposition manages to take those few chances that come their way too. Even if you can't stand us losing, give credit where it is due.

It's worrying that some find the Forfar result not the most embarrassing in our history...without being critical of the current management team I cant imagine any result in our past that saw the club hit such a level without thinking it's just a blip

No. It wasn't.

[Gribz 743]

Stirling and Annan were probably worse.

 

But Ally is building up a folio of shockers.
