Lets start on the pitch

Argryiou is the worst footballer iv ever seen, he makes big Konterman look like Pele, His three colleagues at the back (i was going to say in defense but that would be an untruth) are utterly useless - our midfield look unfit, struggle to control and pass the ball and when all else fails we bring on Sandaza who really takes the biscuit - this man could not hit a coo on the erse wi a banjo.

Now let's move onto the bench

Ally? sorry pal - you don't have it - great player but u can't manage, Please do walking away. Durant? no thanks, MacDowell - either has no say or no idea, The scouts seem to watch edited clips of players best moments on Youtube as the list of guys who they sign who are rubbish is very long indeed - remember guys like Matt Mckay and Stella - how bad they must have been if they couldn't get in before that drivvel.

Now the board

Charles - we know your the aviour or whatever but please don't talk to the media anymore

Walter - Surely you can do something about the aforementioned above

On a brighter note the chicken curry pie was quite good

As you can probably tell I was at the Annan game - If we had nicked a draw at the end it would have been robbery - Annan played well and deserved to win, arguably more comfortably. That is the worst I have ever seen and in the context of some of this seasons performances that is saying something. I am losing faith very quickly

A very disgruntled Ayrbear

I agree with all your points apart from the walter bit. who do you think super sally learned his trade from, learning how not to play players in their correct positions. Yip you have guessed it, uncle walter!

09 Mar 2013 23:37:45
I can take your point but the differnce was walter had some great success - albeit with money to spend. did well with Scotland too, he could galvanise a team. But I know what your saying

I wasnt kidding by the way - the curry pie was good! lol

Ayr bear

Sir Walt was found out at Everton, he was the small fish in the big pond down South. Fergie took pity and gave him a job for 6months, successful manager with money. {The Ed039's Note - Most managers nowadays are only successful with a bit of cash to spend, its the nature of the beast. More money = better players = success)

Think Faure is worse than Argryiou but it's close also Cribari woeful too. How did these guys pass a trial?

Great points about, on the pitch, on the bench and in the boardroom but what about in the stands? We have been raving about world record attendances and even though 35k is amazing at our level where did the other 10,000 go? Are they scared of being banned by Mr Green. This team needs as much support as possible. I am beginning to fear what happens next year when Mr Green raises the prices?

Gersman Man Fife

@5 I don't think he can raise the prices for next season. We will have to start the season with the same players as this season and as Green has already said it's the worst side in the clubs history. You can't then up the prices that would be suicide

@3 my point being when every other manager had the same amount of money or more Sir Walt was found wanting. {The Ed039's Note - Valid point, all I am saying is that most of the times is when teams strengthen and invest they are more likely to win their respective leagues. All over Europe (more often than not) it seems to happen)

Think we both got our points in Ed, thanks for taking the time.

As a matter of interest, what makes you think WS was a failure at Everton? not according to the Everton fans he wasnt, he saved them from relegation while having to lose the entire foirst team squad to save money, Bit of unfair reasoning there I think, And of coursrse Sir Alex gave him a job out of pity didn't he? and yet every player who played under walter say he is the best ever, couldn't make it up,

@9 if Sir Cardigan was that good at Everton then why was he moved on?

@7 I agree it would be crazy to dot his but it was in the share prospectus. it will happen and this is my worry. fans will walk away, same players playing same teams again. not the most exciting prospect in the world!

Ally, WILL WRAP it the next few days, and altough not so sure I believe McCall will step in. However that will not change a lot in Scottish football, have posted regularily that without the competition between the old firms it is heading for the abyss, very soom comparable to Welsh and Irish leagues, think about it, no cash, no competition in any league, who of any standard is going to come to clubs, unfortunately Rangers situation and the manner punishment was handled, [not saying right or wrong so do not start screaming] is a complete disaster. Sitting in my club having few pints after games today in mixed company and next to no comment on either of both results today, which sums up the road we are on, and if anyone [including those with a £28000 salary increase] think that an absurd league reconstuction is going to change it they are living in cloud cuckoo land, albeit with a nice little earner.

The fundemental problem is 2/3 of the football going public support 2 teams. When last did another team win the league?

Re 1} unfortunately you cannot change that and therefore got to take that into account when trying to do anything about the state of our game.

09 Mar 2013 18:57:42
everyone keeps going on about wanting mccoist out the only way this will happen is if we stay away from the games yeh it will hurt our team in the pocket after a few weeks of this green will not take it so mccoist will go for the future of our club mccoist needs to go and this is the only way it will happen {The Ed039's Note - Thats a road nobody wants to risk going down, I mean hitting anyone in the pockets)

As much as I want him to go I will not be boycotting ibrox {The Ed039's Note - And nobody should)

Bit of hypocrisy there when you don't do walking away

Hate to say it but regardless of loyalty this complete rubbish will have walking away in big numbers, do not give me we all need to hang in there, forever, forever but unfortunately there is a limit to many people's forever.

Fans not turning up for two Ibrox games will get him the push. It's not a boycott, its a vote. Voting with your feet. Season tickets have been bought anyway.
Green isn't going to listen to fans.
Fans need to take back some power. If u keep turning up it means u agree Ally and hid coaches should stay.
Fans raised 25% of shares but don't have 25% of the say or control.

I don't do walking away either but that is the only way mccoist will go it is the fans that are paying for all the players wages ect us that are getting tain for a mug by our manager and the overpayed players we pay good money to watch this dross least we deserve is decent performances

10 Mar 2013 01:58:00
I think you need to realise that ally won't go anywhere. Why would he walk away from that salary? And do what? He's got nowhere to go. And who would want to replace him? Green won't sack him either. He can't afford to sack him AND pay for a new manager

Green will keep ally at present, but if league won and attendances drop or season ticket sales poor he will dumpmhim in summer to boost season ticket sales

if sales drop no future, green plan based on increased revenue from season tickets year on year.

Green would have to be transparent about the war chest to any new manager

Ally has long since been bought by Green, so is already compliant

@4 absolutely spot on. If Ally really cares about the club more than his wage packet he will walk at the end of the season. He knows within himself that there are other managers out there that will do a better job. If he doesn't go his legend status will.

You can't expect fans to just blindly turn up to watch that drivel. I for one won't be renewing my season ticket while McCoist is in charge. I have no confidence in him getting us up the divisions let alone challenge Celtic again. He is the worst manager I have seen at the club and for the sake of the club he needs to go

09 Mar 2013 18:17:25
This is what happens when cg slags the team of in the Scottish media the players down tools.

Thats if they lifted there tools at all

Posted this this morning when I heard what Ally had said ---

'Ally might regret saying this when he needs a 100% from some of these players in the future even if what he says is true. '

Such an incredibly stupid thing to say especially with the current transfer embargo.

09 Mar 2013 23:09:37
Completely bizarre statement. He does like to drop the history bit in as often as he can. Is this charlie preparing his exit strategy just after the first provisional accounts are made public is it coincidence that todays official attendance figure was so much lower than normal

09 Mar 2013 18:02:13
Ed made a valid point there regards Ally's "We don't do walking away. " Similarly Green is equally damned by saying he would leave the day he sacks him. Too many cheap, ill-thought out, spouted mantras that sounded like good sound bytes but ultimately bring their own price later on.

Gaz {The Ed039's Note - All very true Gaz, good point)

I do not want to jump on the get ally out bandwagon, as I admire the chap. But this is not acceptable. Over at stirling they were winning 9-1. I thought we would have done that 6 or 7 times this season, never mind suffering this drivle. I have said it before, as others have. one up front will get mcoist one thing, and one thing only the sack, why is he so blind to this. how can the clubs record goal scorer obsesively play one up front in any division, never mind this division. These players are not fit to polish the boots, never mind play for this club {The Ed039's Note - The reason he plays one up top is simple, he was taught that way. That was Smith's tactics and he learned to coach that way. I really dont want to get to the point where Ally destroys his legend as we all must acknowledge that he is a legend and thank him for everything, but he would be even more of a legend if he stepped aside and said its time for something a bit different)

1 upfront. arghhhhh
that alone should have ally chased out of ibrox,
playing 1 up front against div 3 part-timers is an absolute embarassment and shows a total lack of belief in himself and the rangers players he has signed,
taxi for mcoist!

For once Mr Green was speaking the truth ----the team is the worst. How can you expect people to pay good money to look at this rubbish. No shame in defeat but not at this level, Annan. ----Good luck to them. Fed up with them all and the antics at Ibrox. Anything but professional, now and for sometime. It all must change and soon.

Ally has no shame -- week after week we are subjected to this dross, and he thinks its ok!!! time WE got him out! he's a disgrace and should be forced out NOW! - NO GLORY IN WINNING the 3rd Div with full time players on big wages, but he seems to think its a world beater! - - he's a joke of a manager and should hang his head in shame and say sorry for being unseless - WALK NOW ALL OR BE FORCED OUT!

Charlie boy won't sack him unless WE Demand it!! - YOU choose charles who you want most - Ally or the fans!

Unfortunately ally doesn't think he is a very limited manager. he believes he is the man. if a managers job was available in any other 3rd division club, do you think that he would be offered the position - no chance. he is only the manager of rangers because of his links with the club. he is not there on merit. we did it with john greig and he we are again with ally. our club has expectations and unproven managers are the last thing we need. I sat through todays embarrasing performance and wonder how much longer we have to put up with this rubbish. even when we win the standard of football is rubbish. we have no style - it's punt it up the park and hope we get a break. when we do get a chance to knock it about we can't seem to string 3 passes together so we revert to punting it up the park. time for a change I think.

09 Mar 2013 17:29:25
rubbish absolutely rubbish! Not good enough. The club is going no where with this group of players. Loosing at Ibrox to a team of part timers is a new low. Players like Black, Argryiou, Cribari, Shiels have done nothing. Our goalkeeper can't keep a clean sheet we our pathetic. Gowdy54 {The Ed039's Note - I have no problem with Neil Alexander (I do have a problem with his salary though), a goalkeeper needs protection, without it, he is going to concede goals no matter whether it is Alexander, Buffon or Casillas)

The defence has been atrocious since the start of the season and still is. We must have something better at Murray Park.

09 Mar 2013 17:12:57
God almighty are we expected to accept this rubbish. We are RANGERS for f"^CK'S sake.

If we are not careful everyone will be walking away.

Mr Green please exert some authority before it is too late.

Play in England we can barely play in Scotland.

09 Mar 2013 17:07:35
worst Rangers team ever. CG was right we are getting worse each week.

09 Mar 2013 16:56:28
I can't take any more of this utter rubbish only one thing to say MCCOIST must go or be sacked tonight.

Yes, I think that was the worst today, no clues, no ideas, and that was coming from the bench, don't want to hear anymore excuses what allys going to do to the players that don't perform because it isn't having 1 bit of effect doug t. s. o

9th March 2013 a truly great day in the history of Scottish football. The two "great" clubs defeated by teams not big enough to be classed as minnows. A day all non-OF supporters will remember.

CG may be right but what is he going to do about it.

Let's get into 2nd Division and see where we are by Christmas

09 Mar 2013 17:03:14
There is not a chance in hell he will be sacked, Rangers can't at this time afford the payout. If he had any honour, he would resign.

@op While I'm hurting too, you can't seriously compare Annan to Ross County?We are in a dire state being beaten in Div 3 ----we shouldn't be loosing a game, I know but don't bring in other teams to share the pain. Ross County is no minnow ---you malign them.

How many times do we go thru this, week afer week----Ally must go it's said. Then we win a game by a small margin against part timers and we forget about it till the next time. Today was so awful we can't forget this one. Is anyone listening to the fans?We want and deserve better than this.

@2) Deflection tactics ain't working pal! Ross County are the current form team in the SPL following winning the scottish 1st Division at an absolute canter, and managed by arguably the 2nd best manager in scottish football. They would annihilate this Rangers team. You shouldn't even be concerning yourself with they're result today. Beat by Annan Athletic at ibrox? Those players should be ashamed, along with the manager. And no I don't think those words are too strong.

09 Mar 2013 16:47:53
There comes a time when loyalty becomes blind. We need a football manager not a former legend, cheeky chappy, or TV personality. There needs to be an authority figure in dressing room. There needs to be some fear in that dressing room. Time to change. {The Ed039's Note - Great post)

Problem is that person owns 5% of the club and is unsackable.

Next manager won't get that. deal

Lets be honest here. McCoist is not there for his managerial nous end of. he's been retained for reasons outwith the perimeters of the playing field which is perhaps understandable given the extenuating circumstances but he is not the answer and should be warmly thanked for completing the first step in the recovery process then offered a position more in line with the skills & esteem which he definately does posess. he needs to concede that he is not cut out for management before he loses any more respect.

09 Mar 2013 16:35:07
This is dire, I have supported Ally but enough is enough, this is just rubbish.

He has to go tonight utterly clueless. A new low for the club losing to a mid table part time team at home. McCoist out!

We will not win div2 with mccoist as manager. Sack him now, if we don't sack before the new season we are fooked!

I totally agree, once again out thought and outplayed by part timers being paid a pittance.

Please Ally show some dignity and resign. Thanks for all you have done for the club. Back to Question of Sport for you

09 Mar 2013 16:23:12
Lets plan ahead for next season by firstly removing mccoist and durrant - clueless! {The Ed039's Note - Dont forger MacDowell)

Alexander too, young guys have the chance to establish themselfs in the team a chance they would never have got and they are just not doing it. as for alexander Ithough he was better than this some poor goals he's lost this season.

09 Mar 2013 08:25:09
How long is Neil Murray going be at rangers? He's useless

I would suspect for as long as Ally is there. Big pals.

As long as Ally and he is useless too.

You have got to question some of the recent signings and the current players we are linked with.

08 Mar 2013 18:37:47
just caught the end of scotland today to see the new rangers target I thought he looked a good tidy player quick feet and some good moves and by far better than the current players. then I realised it was socks the shetland pony and I had missed the sports news pity I think he could do a job for yous

Op You had me there----thought I'd missed something. I did see Socks myself and thought he was pretty nifty. He's a big star now though and we couldn't afford him---making too much money elsewhere. Pity

Yes after today's showing, Socks looks a better buy than some others McCoist has made. What a day----shameful being beaten again by part-timers. All credit to Annan though
