Gribz 743 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yesterday morning I felt like we were maybe 2nd-4th favourites but looking at the teams left in it we should be joint favourites. If we get a home tie we should be capable of winning it. Dumbarton Albion Rovers Raith Stranraer or Inverness (If Stranraer can draw with Caley we can beat them) St Johnstone Aberdeen Dundee Utd or St Mirren There is absolutely nothing to consider fearing there and in years gone by that would be a dream line up for us. But I will take anything except Aberdeen away, more so the fact I don't want to play them for non-footballing reasons. But the good thing is its another season without a Celtic match to fund Doncaster and Co. And its another season to prepare for when we do meet them. Next season our opposition should be tougher on paper so will need us to raise the bar again on a weekly basis. When is the draw anyway? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,416 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Let's be honest here, if our players play to their abilities then we can beat anyone on our day,however I hope we draw Albion Rovers at home. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Great positive thread after a good performance to get us to the quarter finals and Celtic out as well... oh wait. I'm not sure how good a manager Ally is but I can say that I've never seen such a poor level of support on a Rangers forum. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how good a manager Ally is but I can say that I've never seen such a poor level of support on a Rangers forum. I don't think there has been a poor level of support at all. Everyone who was at the game said it was how we should play and we bossed the game, it was more like the Rangers we should be seeing every week. Those not at the game all said its a very good result. Moving on we obviously look forward to the next draw and debate who we get. And going by performances overall this season most think we could come up against a side who tactically beat us due to Ally's past tactics. That's not poor support, that's just saying what we all know. But Friday night proved what we are capable of and that's why I think the only thing to fear is our own game plan rather than the opposition in the next round. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,416 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) I'm sure that the Rangers players seeing the BHEASTS getting humped out by the SHEEP will give them some belief that they have a wee chance of keeping the cup run going,and considering the semi will be at Ibrox then there is real chance of making the final and a good chance of winning the Scottish cup,I'm sure that incentive will spur them on.

pete 2,499 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I am going into the supermarket tomorrow to buy Irish Lamb. It will remind me of the sheep slaughtering the plastic paddies. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Great positive thread after a good performance to get us to the quarter finals and Celtic out as well... oh wait. I'm not sure how good a manager Ally is but I can say that I've never seen such a poor level of support on a Rangers forum. Sorry but I thought the thread was about whether we should or shouldn't be second favourites for the cup. It then moved on a stage because of yesterday's results. It became a constructive discussion on why we possibly will\won't win the cup. It is generally agreed amongst a huge element of the support that our manager is not the best. So I don't see why you expect the thread not to discuss his short comings when the subject is key to answering the question in the OP. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It's probably because Super Cooper has been busy loading the bullets should we not win the Cup, which is a little bit of an over reaction given we don't know who we'll be playing, injuries, suspensions, ref decisions, and all the other variables which come into football. Reacting to a good win and some favourable results elsewhere by getting a pistol out and holding it to the manager's head is not exactly constructive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 There's a weird mix between "we can't possibly compete with the invincibles of Aberdeen" and "there is no excuse for not winning the cup with ease". The truth is firmly in the middle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
