Queens park bottom of league two 4 Albion rovers 0, enough said, can't believe we nearly went out the cup.

Rovers fielded a virtual reserve side which included two trialists. I am not offering excuses it's just a fact.

Don't worry we will turn Albion over this time and beat Dundee in the semi easy up the gers stand by your team

Not an excuse for last weeks display against them but today they rested there full first team squad

All the better players were rested

Sweep not aan excuse but that was two different teams Albion played with. I am sure a couple of trialists and some kids were playing. Again no excuse we should have humped AR in the first game.

A big well done to the sfa today for not giving into dundee uniteds demands and move the game away from ibrox. Very childish and pathetic of mr thompson who will not sit in the directors box if we make the semi final. Surely it would breach the sporting integrity of the cup if the match was moved due to dundee uniteds demands.

"There were no issues raised then at that early stage. "

{Ed039's Note - It was never going to happen)

Totally agree ed, totally embarrassing for a club who have played the sporting integrity card for a few years. I wonder how many dundee united fans signed the shameful petition to have the matches moved. Furthermore, I wonder how many of the celtic faithful will admit to signing it or will they be high and mighty haha.

Whoever at DU made this request has just handed his own team a physiological disadvantage.
If they were to meet selic in the final would they have made the same request. Nope because Liewell who have told his puppet to sit down like a nice wee boy.

Gaz I posted on here when this petition was first mentioned and ime sure it was started on a celtic site

Gaz and @2 and @3. You are obviously the kind that like a punty up rather than trying to climb up yourselves. They have a totally legit point about the ticket allocation which is nothing other than a disgrace and we would be absolutely raging if it ever happened to us. Its a cup semi final. Why should tickets be allocated like its a home game for us just because its at ibrox? Its only at ibrox because hampden not available. Is that not advantage enough? This just stinks of an embarassing act of charity from the sfa, it just looks like they know we're so sh#te we need help twice over. Imagine how humiliating it will be now if we lose. Personally I take no pleasure in having dice loaded for me, prefer to take a fair chance as it makes winning an achievement to be proud of.

Again 'ill state 1 thing. if it was us against that lot who play in stripes and we were having to play at the "dump" we would be going absolutely mad. There is no way the top brass would not listen to our fan base.
As for Utd they not getting a change because Strippey ones don't won't us in their ground in case of damage? be expecting a massive turn around when we get into final and get ready for a trip to Edinburgh.

Certainly won't be embarrassing losing to Dundee utd, under any circumstances.

Agree re the ticket allocation; it's shameful. Moving the game was a non-starter though; any objections should have been raised months ago

They do have a legit point about seating. They should be entitled to 50% of allocation. My point was about their chairman and his pathetic attempts to move the match prior to ticket allocation being announced. This discussion shouldn't even of took place until if we qualified for the semis - disrespectful to the wee albions, we've seen cup humiliations happen already this season from our own loss to forfar or the multi-million pound squad at parkhead being humiliated at the hands of morton.

Why was there no protests awayawayaway back when it was decided that's why I think it should be played at ibrox not because we will be at home yes the sfa should have waited but they didn't so why all the fuss now

just read Allys interview with the DR, the seasons not even over and he is making excuses for the coming season.

i am sick to the back teeth of his excuses for the poor football that I have witnessed this season if its not the opposition put 11 men behind the ball and make it extremely hard for us ( well its your job to coach the team on how to break them down) or its the opposition raise their game when they play Rangers ( well guess what Ally its your job to make sure Rangers raise their game even higher) now he's worried his current squad ( the very squad he assembled and pays handsomely) will struggle against Hearts and possibly Dunfermline if they go up not to mention the dreaded scenario of another premiership team coming down in the play offs.

heaven forbid Ally having to face a challenge and prove he has some managerial and tactical skills its about time we got rid of this imposter Allys all about self preservation and nothing else.

as I've stated before If Dave King or anyone else wants my season ticket money they can have it if they can re-assure me that once he gets control of Rangers he purges the club of all the charlatans and that means Ally and his mates

Allys had his chance and he has been shown wanting Rangers owe him nothing he has been handsomely rewarded throughout his entire football career

{Ed039's Note - LB, one of the best posts I have read for a while and I couldnt agree more)

Here here well said OP

Not much to disagree with, how big a financial advantage in player wages does Ally need to feel comfortable?
Nobody in div1 next year will have a budget bigger than a 1 million or so, if Rangers fail then it is obvious who is to blame, next year Ally will actually have to work for his money.

Had to laugh about Ally's comment after the Rovers game claiming that anyone would have found it hard to score against them. Somehow don't see Barcelona or Real Madrid struggling to score against rovers. Just another embarrassing comment to add to the growing list
