Rangers Banter Archive February 03 2018

When there is a battle to be won we crumble some of these players are not up to the standard that's twice hibs have came to ibrox and battled there way to 3 points! Unless Ryan jack or McCrorie are playing we don't have anyone else that can win a 50/ 50! Holt is not good enough to be in our first eleven and Joss Windass is ****ing murder! These guys can't handle playing at ibrox and the demands we as fans have or expect.

03 Feb 2018 23:52:06
Must admit i thought docherty would of started he had mcginn sewn up with accies, we needed that, also we just looked off it for some reason, maybe just a bad day at the office i'm hoping so, murphy standout, should of played two up top and really went for them.

04 Feb 2018 08:03:11
How many times are you going to hope its just a bad day at the office? We are at least a decade away from challenging for the title! The current state of the club requires massive change and investment. If yet another false dawn doesn't open your eyes then I don't know what will!

04 Feb 2018 09:15:29
Murphy a stand out? i'm sorry mate but I I thought he was rotten. I put it down to lack of match fitness but he's been poor in all 3 games. missed two good chances yesterday, so predictable and couldn't bear the first man with a cross.

04 Feb 2018 09:15:56
I don't think we are a decade away from winning the league just a proper manager. All 5 home defeats could and should have been 3 wins and 2 draws at the very least. A proper manager would have seen to that along with the gamr at home vs killie.

Unfortunately the rangers job is not a place for a manager to be learning their trade and until the board appoint a proven manager results like this and our indifferent form will continue

04 Feb 2018 09:47:53
The amount of times Murphy makes time and space for a shot is unreal yet poor decision making, once yesterday he had a shot after making space (Glasgow airport must’ve had to contact pilots to alter flight path due to a wayward ball) not so sure I want him to shoot again! But at same time his cutting in and holding ball too long doesn’t get us anywhere!

04 Feb 2018 10:35:32
How many proper managers have we recently? Everyone thought The magic hat was a proper manager, turns out he wasn't then everyone thought Pedro was a proper manager again turns out he wasn't then everyone was blowing Murty's trumpet and now he's not the answer. How many proper managers and false dawns do we have to go through before we find a proper manager? I think hope clouds people's judgement on here. "All these home defeats should have been 3 wins and 2 draws at least" does not win major honours!

03 Feb 2018 19:57:32
If morales is sulking then bench him and play boys that want to play for the jersey. Herrera does not get a sniff and we may never know how good he is as he gets the odd 10 mins. He is a Mexican international so can’t be that bad and I am sure given game time with Cummings up to they could form a decent partnership. Windass is too hot and cold and miller past it. Dodoo is another one who just needs a chance. If morales sulks through the week bench him then sell him min 8million and recall Hardie

03 Feb 2018 20:51:58
Can't really be suggesting benching Morales but still expect £7-8m for him surely? Windass has been one of our better players this season. Herrera, dodoo and hardie will not improve our first team. Dorrans, jack, alves (&maybe even rossiter) would though

03 Feb 2018 22:25:58
I thought the only time we cut them open was when we deployed quick interchange passing centrally around their penalty box. Not sure why we do not attack more through the middle. Crosses into the box leave just Morelos in there on his own. Need more creativity through the middle. Just my opinion though.

03 Feb 2018 22:42:37
Dorrans, Jack and Alves won't get us second place! Players like Dodoo, Herrera, etc should not even be in the stands! Our squad is just an average SPL squad. We show the same consistency as your Motherwell's, Hearts, Dundee's etc, win games here and there, lose games here and there and that's because we have bang average SPL players. For me it highlights just how poor the squad is when Josh Windass has been one of our better players. Unless we get major investment or genuine big bids for these average players then things won't change.

03 Feb 2018 22:56:58
Herrera is awful and offers nothing. Total waste of time even having him on the bench. O’Halloran hasn’t been great but at least he offers some pace and has scored more goals this season than Herrera. Speaks volumes for Herrera that when 1 down Murty still didn’t bring him on

04 Feb 2018 08:51:41
Of course dorrans, jack, alves improves our first team (+mccrorie) we don't need major investment, our budget must be at least 2-3 times the amount of the sheep, hibs. We need properly managed from the board, down to the manager. I maintain if we had a MANAGER, not a youth coach in charge we'd be much better off. To think our only apparent management target was McInnes?

04 Feb 2018 10:40:53
Blueberry are you serious when you say we don't need investment? Dorrans, Jack, Alves and McCrorie were in the team that took us to 3rd place! How can we have a budget when we make a loss and need soft loans? Your on a different planet mate😂😂

03 Feb 2018 18:59:03
Wullie collumn just retire your pish! Gave us nothin and took a goal off us and gave them a pen. what's that all about?

03 Feb 2018 21:05:57
Well for starters it was a penalty. What was Tav thinking? Schoolboy stuff.

03 Feb 2018 22:27:02
I sit behind the rangers dugout and after the pen tav was speaking to Murty. Then Murty turned to the bench and signaled that the turn coat had dived to con the ref. tav was raging

03 Feb 2018 22:58:06
Needless and stupid challenge.

04 Feb 2018 07:25:02
Murty doesn't know how to change it, it was very clear after 30 mins that Scott Allan was running the midfield and we needed another midfielder in there but he didn't change it till 65 70 mins, their first goal came from Candeias giving the ball away in the middle of the park to easily and no one closing the guy down after him losing it. however Windass and Morelos couldnae Finnish their dinners the chances that these two waste in every game is ridiculous it's verging on embarrassing. In the second half it was one way traffic wes never had a save to make, as for their penalty it was soft but it was a penalty Allan played for it and got it but collum couldnae give it quick enough, if he's our best ref that says something every time a rangers player tackled they got booked but Hibs players were getting a talking to first their big boy in midfield kicked everything and never got booked till injury time. Every time the manky mob drop points we bottle it which is not good enough on the plus side Murphy is starting to look a very good player now that he is becoming match fit

03 Feb 2018 18:22:05
We blew our lines could have been 2 goals up before half time. Windass was a passenger candeas offered nothing down the right. All our good attacking play came from murphy down the left. Top strikers don't miss or get caught offside as much as morales. Only thing goss offered was the freekick. The fans gave the players a great atmosphere we chanted and supported them encouraged them throughout the game. We deserve better. What tav was thinking just stand behind him he's going nowhere? Too many false dawns. I feel sick!

03 Feb 2018 19:09:27
The ref didn't help and I have no idea why the goal was chopped of however let's not beat around the Bush looking for excuses. Murty yet again has proven how tactically inept he is and should be nowhere near the managers job. 10 mins into the game it was clear hibs were over running us in midfield yet its 70 mins before a change. 1 up front is a ridiculous choice of tactics as is playing 2 dmfs. 17 points dropped I believe in his short time in charge is nothing short of scandalous. Worst part is nothing will change while he's still in charge

03 Feb 2018 19:15:56
Windass is no Alex Macdonald or Andy Penman and Morelos is certainly no Colin Stein so we should accept any decent offers for them and buy players who we know could do the job. Don't tell me there is no better at the money these 2 want. The buffalo more like the Bafoon.7 or 8 million my god you could by 4 very good players for that amount.

03 Feb 2018 22:59:58
Can’t play Windass, Candeais and Murphy in the same team against Hibs. They totally dominated the midfield first half and had Goss and Holt chasing shadows.

03 Feb 2018 23:11:18
Don't blame the ref for the team not creating and taking goal scoring oppurtunitys

04 Feb 2018 10:10:44
Should have spelt Buffoon

03 Feb 2018 17:40:06
Today was all about horses for courses and Cummings had to start. It was made and set up for him. Murty missed the plot.

03 Feb 2018 17:13:21
Missed opportunity to tighten that gap to them.

03 Feb 2018 22:25:57
How can anyone disagree I was starting fact lol as if we'd won the gap would be down to 11pts a d us with a game in hand

03 Feb 2018 17:00:29
Why did candies to off when Windows was an empty jersey.

03 Feb 2018 17:25:33
Candelas cost the first goal and was getting brushed off the ball far to easily

03 Feb 2018 16:56:51
Simply not good enough. It seems we had lots of chances but only took one while they make every opportunity count. Lennon will be unbearable again. What a disappointing result.

03 Feb 2018 17:05:47
Sick to the back teeth of it. Every time we think we’ve turned a corner there’s setback after setback. Guys like super cooper wanting to hand murty a contract when he’s 2 minutes into the job and still learning. Every time he opens his mouth the opposite happens. Anyway just need to pick ourselves up and get on with it

03 Feb 2018 17:05:54
We did that at Easter Road, smash and grab.
Referee was absolutely shocking today

03 Feb 2018 17:23:15
Totally agree simply not good enough to get beaten twice at Home to this Hibs Team, don, t know what was worse our poor performance or typically terrible performance from Collum. Unfortunately Murty got his tactics wrong, should have put someone on McGinn to stop them playing. We were a liability in the 1st half and altough Murphy had a great game his playing partner John just kept giving the ball away. Hope Murty stays as our Manager but I reckon we still have problems all over the pitch and hopefully we can get rid of all the dross we are carrying, Hodson, Herrera, Kranjar ect in the summertime, but sadly we have a long way to go yet!

03 Feb 2018 18:01:15
the dross your talking about weren't playing, so how would help. do you mean we could get better payers than the dross that did play

03 Feb 2018 18:02:18
Today was poor, no doubt about that but its been like this all season. Twice beaten by an average hibs at ibrox. Murty seems like a nice bloke, and is probably a decent enough coach. We need a manager. Boy's like supercoop getting stiffies over murty? Why?
Murty was the cheap option. The signings in January (barring Docherty) were the cheapest option (loans)
We'll do well to finish 2nd this season.

03 Feb 2018 19:14:29
Murty should be nowhere near the job. Tactically clueless and by all accounts would rather be the players friends than hit them with a few home truths.

Unfortunately while this guys in the job results like this have and will continue to be the norm

03 Feb 2018 16:48:24
Been going well recently but it's a rite kick in the bollox when you see a performance like that, especially rite after the unwashed drop points.

03 Feb 2018 15:18:30
Well done Killie. Hopefully we can get a result today and then it's back to 11 points with a game in hand and next OF game at ibrox.

03 Feb 2018 16:56:18
Pfffffft

03 Feb 2018 14:41:41
Now that celtic have dropped points then let's definitely get a victory today and then midweek against thistle and we will be 8 point behind them.

03 Feb 2018 14:51:09
They are so ordinary. Killie were far the better team. Rodgers arrogance will be his undoing. We need to keep winning and beat them in March and then see how they cope with a title challenge.

03 Feb 2018 16:48:59
We are the ones that are so ordinary, I'm at the game and sorry to burst your bubble but there will be no title challenge, from us anyway, maybe from Aberdeen but afraid not from us, Morelos looks like he can't be bothered, I really am concerned regarding Murtys choice with him as his head is elsewhere after all the hype regarding the possible transfer and wages he would be on, surely Murty should have just been Cummings. Oh well back to the same old. And before you all shoot me down well I'm only being realistic as we all should be.

03 Feb 2018 11:49:35
really hope murty doesn't throw wallace straight back into left back when he's fit don't think imo he's half the player john is really think wallace will struggle to get back into side good servant to the club but we now need to be ruthless.

03 Feb 2018 12:17:40
Don't think John has done much wrong. I think Wallace might work as a left sided centre half. He's played there before. Miller might be a handy lad to be on the subbies bench

03 Feb 2018 10:16:59
Right guys any good tipsters on the site

Ayr win, Aberdeen won, Rangers game (over 2.5) and BTTS in the Oldham game. 4/ 1 and seems safe enough. good luck and F*** the bookies.
