Rangers Banter Archive February 06 2018

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

Why do we persist in belittling our players. Windass gets constantly slated and I guarantee if he played for hearts, hibs or Aberdeen we would be clamouring to sign him. Wind your necks in and back your club or shut up about being loyal.



07 Feb 2018 03:06:27
Agree totally mate! Too many negative fans "supporting" our club.



07 Feb 2018 04:59:00
Too many people looking at his stats and thinking he's great. I assume people are forgetting actually watching how pish he's been in games. If he was playing as well as people make out then maybe we wouldn't be sitting 3rd. think about that. And before people tell me its a team game and its not all about him. he has made sooo many atrocious decisions in the final 3rd that could have been goals but he's made an arse of it and turned towards his own net. The criticism of him is justified in my opinion. To many bears have grown up watching the banter years and think what we witness now is acceptable. i'm sorry but i grew up watching us win silverware, what i'm watching now is awful.



07 Feb 2018 05:27:07
I remember cammy Fraser giving the fans a gesture he never played for us again it’s an honour to pull that blue jersey on you take the stick the same as you take the plaudits he thinks he’s better than he is and I can’t see what people see in him he goes missing in every game near enough he’s a sub at most.



07 Feb 2018 06:27:00
Totally agree with you on Windass he has ability but let's be honest here he is a halfwit and has no clue on what to do for the best! He's more interested in social media and reacting to what fans have said he will be gone in the summer!



07 Feb 2018 13:13:46
Muir_bluenose, the bears who grew up during the banter years are still children by my calculations. I also grew up watching us win trophies, and there are plenty of older bears that remember Aberdeen and Dundee Utd etc. winning trophies. You seem to be judging the current players against a time when we could outbid the majority of top English teams for players, sadly those days have gone! There wasn't a player worth keeping from the team that Ally built, Warburton spent about £2m on his whole squad, most of what Pedro spent was wasted, and Murty has brought in a few loans, we're hardly going to be tearing up trees. I presume you think King should step aside and let someone with money chase the Champions League dream? The problems with that are that we cannot attract the top players to Scotland, it's getting harder each year for teams from countries like us to qualify and if you fail to qualify FFP means that regardless of how wealthy your sugar daddy is you can't throw £30-40m at it without some potential of a return, resulting in more banter years. So while you may not find it acceptable we have no option but to move forward slowly and sustainably. In the meantime I advise you grin and Bear it!



06 Feb 2018 21:45:47
Looks as if Windass was giving the 'shhh' to the Gers support tonight after he scored.

And I agree with him! A goal and an assist from him tonight. Can't beleige how quickly our fans turn on our players. I even saw somebody post on this forum saying Fraserburgh was his level after the Hibs game. Absolute joke of a comment.

Criticism is warrented, absolutely agree with constructive criticism, but being disredpful about our own players is not on. Get behind the team win, lose or draw.



06 Feb 2018 22:29:07
Totally agree with regards to windy. He is young and will only get better into double figures now with 6 assists.
With young players their main fault in being inconsistent but he still pops up with important goals even when he is not on his game.
How much do those supporters that slate him think it would cost to replace him for another midfielder that gets into double figures scoring wise.
Get behind the lad start singing his name at games and watch him flourish and get better



06 Feb 2018 22:48:42
Totally agree we are too quick to write our players off, on the other hand a couple of good results and some have us winning the league! It's important to remain calm and not get worked up into a media driven frenzy. Windass would be a standout for any team outside the old firm and given that we only paid 100k or so he's been a good signing. We are still short in forward areas but when everyone's fit and certainly next season if he's still about I can see him being a good impact sub. There's also been criticism of Bates recently which I find extremely harsh. He's never going to be a great ball player but thinking back to our best defenders over the years not many of them were great with the ball, as long as the boy can defend surely that's the most important thing! New deals for both.

Keep Believing



06 Feb 2018 23:58:31
@united Kingdom, wouldn’t cost anything to replace him with a goal scoring midfielder, just recall Pena 😂😂😂



07 Feb 2018 02:53:30
Well done Josh - all my posts have been positive about you even before you signed for us with MC - keep doing the business!



07 Feb 2018 07:05:32
I haven’t been one to criticise JW as he has been a decent signing for the nominal fee that we paid for him! He has improved a lot since arriving and I do see potential in the guy however if he thinks that gesturing to the fans after a goal against PT after a largely anonymous game against Hibs then he is sadly mistaken. I still have no issue with him as I am not that thin skinned however I do think Windass should do his talking on the Park, he will blow hot and cold as he has always done and our overall squad isn’t good enough to have passengers in games, they same rules apply for everyone!



06 Feb 2018 21:39:51
Good result tonight quite a few people have said they wanted morelos droped with cummings the replacment this has happend twice now and cummings has not produced on both occasions morelos offers far more up front these two would be lethal as a partnership but it won't happen.
Also time to get docherty in the middle instead of holt or goss.



06 Feb 2018 22:42:10
Cummings ran his socks off tonight played the ball into candeas to slide the cross to windass for the goal. Held the ball up well still adapting to our style of play. Goss has a great range of passing and delivery from set pieces. Holt bombs about the park with energy. I like docherty but he's yet to show me anything in the minutes he's played for us so far to merit a start over holt or goss.



07 Feb 2018 00:05:26
My point was more based on cummings not scoring yeh he worked his socks of and done well but so does morelos every game so why should cummings start a head of him.
Goss is not our player no chance signing him so play someone who is going be hear for a few years.
Yeh holt is full of running energy but apart from this what does he contribute we do not see many assists or goals from our cm this needs to improve for us to challenge at the top



07 Feb 2018 08:56:04
Cummings isn’t a loan striker and needs someone to feed off. He put a shift in but struggled and will struggle if he plays the lone striker role



06 Feb 2018 18:52:13
Cummins in - Morelos out, only change from Saturday.



06 Feb 2018 19:03:11
think that's the right desition morelos head not in the right place hopehope cummings gets on the scoresheet tonight c'mon the bears



06 Feb 2018 19:06:24
also hope windy bottom is dropped he's overdue a wee seat on the bench



06 Feb 2018 19:33:02
Had to give the game a miss tonight due to work and was told on the way home it's not on telly, any bears got a decent link to watch it.



06 Feb 2018 19:37:32
Why bring m, oh back and not even consider him for place on bench?



06 Feb 2018 19:55:31
Would have started Morelos and Cummings upfront and Docherty in midfield.
Goss and Holt are a bit lightweight.
Morelos has been in my opinion affected by all the transfer speculation.
Hope Murtys selection proves me wrong.



06 Feb 2018 20:40:24
Hesgoal. com not bad stream tonight lads for second half



06 Feb 2018 21:22:51
Possibly up to his old tricks in training and not deserving of a place on the bench?

I’m sure if he trains well he’ll be considered!



06 Feb 2018 21:25:14
Agree Copland01. Cummings no good on own. Together I think would play off each other



06 Feb 2018 21:44:46
Decent performance tonight and another great goal from tav. 👏🏻 . Also like how Cummings links the play. Big bates has a great game, distribution much improved . Three points closer



06 Feb 2018 22:02:26
Bossed it 2nd half 2 good goals can't complain i must admit like the boy goss someone with total composure which we've been lacking good result👏👏👏



06 Feb 2018 16:45:14
The strikers need to start hitting the net as there goals ratio per chances are no very great I hope Miller is no were near the team tonight along with Halliday just keeping young guys out the squad!
We're is MOH these days waste of money.



06 Feb 2018 17:02:41
I agree. We create a lot of chances and our forwards need to be more clinical



06 Feb 2018 17:43:46
Ohalloran, back in training had the flu



06 Feb 2018 18:04:29
Think O’Halloran is worth a run especially away from home. Pointless have Herrera on the bench offers nothing



06 Feb 2018 10:45:02
Partick thistle have been a boggy team to us this season. Tho we have been better away from home we seem to dip in form when playing the so called weaker teams. If i was a betting man i would say score draw but I have hope that we can win this game 2-1.



06 Feb 2018 12:30:03
I think that's a little negative but yeah this will be a tough game. Expect a win though



06 Feb 2018 14:49:02
We are Rangers and this is Partick you are talking about. Hope we can win. its not Barcelona.

We should be beating teams like this with ease, and something is wrong when we're not, barring a freak upset.



06 Feb 2018 15:26:01
A must win game. I expect some changes and a passionate performance. The weekend was a real blow and I can't understand why we seem to be poor against hibs every time we play them. c'mon boys get a good result tonight and most important 3 points.



06 Feb 2018 15:38:27
It depends what Rangers team turns up to be fair. We have been inconsistant all season.



06 Feb 2018 16:03:07
Surely we should be beating hibs at Ibrox. Unbelievable to be honest when celtic drop points we bottle winning at home to catch 3 points. Celtic are there for the taking in my eyes and we seem determined to let them off everytime they slip up.



06 Feb 2018 16:20:00
Mate we are nowhere near challenging them we have lost 7 times this season and drew 4. This current squad is bang average in my eyes and that sort of form and inconsistency will not cut it. I mean its February and we are still fighting for 2nd. Anything other than a win tonight and we can kiss could by to 2nd I'm afraid!



06 Feb 2018 17:44:45
Going to go positive and say 2 nil. Hopefully get changes made earlier if required. Just think if we were to win at weekend it puts abit of pressure on celtic. Know what your saying though. We have been poor at times. Inconsistent.



06 Feb 2018 21:51:44
3 points. Had no choice but win. Well done.



06 Feb 2018 06:59:09
Going by one of the rags tonight's line up has cardosa in for Bates, Docherty for Holt and Jessie windass starts again personally I wouldn't let the guy near a rangers jersey after what he posted.



06 Feb 2018 08:13:56
Have I missed something? What did he post?



06 Feb 2018 09:17:31
I agree mate. He shouldn't wear a Rangers jersèy again for 2 reasons. A) that tweet and B) He is simply not good enough.



06 Feb 2018 09:19:45
I'd like to see Cardoso in for Bates tbh. Big man has done well but he looks like he's towing a caravan the now.

I feel Cardoso has potential, decent with the ball at his feet and he's one of the quicker defenders we have, just needs to work on being more physical (still won't protect you from being elbowed in the face mind you haha) .

Holt won't be benched surely if he's been captaining? I'd imagine somebody else will be dropped for Docherty if he is to start, probably Goss, young lads free kick was class but we need a bit more dig in the midfield.

What has Windass meant to have posted? People need to remember Windass cost us about 100k, he's done well this season considering We will make a large profit on him if sold.



06 Feb 2018 10:08:48
Hope the bates out cardoso in part of the op is true



06 Feb 2018 10:17:34
Can someone help me out with the tweet he posted as I don’t use twitter



06 Feb 2018 10:26:38
How can people "disagree" with a genuine question that I asked? I don't use twitter so have no idea what he said. Is anyone able to shed any light or continue to disagree to a question?



06 Feb 2018 10:52:29
He re-tweeted a Jessie J statement that read "when the fear of getting it wrong outweighs the fun of getting it right. its time to move on! "



06 Feb 2018 10:56:43
Bearmode we won't make a large profit on Windass. We had 300,000 bid which we knocked back for him and no further bids and that says it all for me. He is a championship player for me. Scottish championship that is 🇬🇧



06 Feb 2018 11:23:51
The tweet could mean anything tbf



06 Feb 2018 12:02:50
Really? What else could that mean?



06 Feb 2018 12:05:31
For me it means 1 thing. He can't handle the pressure of playin for a win at all costs club. He is mince. End of. Get rid 🇬🇧



06 Feb 2018 12:32:52
If we sold windass we'd easy get 600-800k from e championship team. That kind of money is nothing to them



06 Feb 2018 12:33:39
Maybe it means he's is enjoying playing with us and enjoying the challenge of taking us to the next level and when he stops enjoying that ( playing football) its time to move on in a different career? Or maybe he just likes Jessie J? I certainly don't think you should be getting your knickers in a twist over it!



06 Feb 2018 18:49:03
Maybe the fear of dropping points outweighs the fun of gaining 3, but its time to move on from the result?
