Rangers banter 6

24 Jun 2024 08:34:05
That Scotland performance has triggered my PTSD from watching Rangers last season🤣.

24 Jun 2024 08:51:42
It had tinges of that eh? Now that Scotland are out, hope we can now just focus on the club and hearing of player sales and acquisitions.

24 Jun 2024 10:32:13
Right Ibrox4Me, let me start it off by asking you this pal, is hearts ceo Andrew McKinlay going to be our new ceo 😁 🤔.

24 Jun 2024 11:44:42
Walter patience bud, we'll know soon enough.

24 Jun 2024 12:27:43
Highly likely SWS but Board are talking with a couple of names. AM is in Germany and was at the game last night, home next 48 hours. He’ll have further talks and want to lid lifted to see what he’s inheriting but there’s a very strong chance. Like I said, highly regarded at UEFA and Scottish level and a great operator. Will help repair relations and would be an excellent appointment.

24 Jun 2024 12:46:06
Rangers have been interviewing for last two weeks, likely to be someone from England.

24 Jun 2024 13:51:51
So John227,do you reckon hearts CEO is not even in the running mate 🤔 I take it from what you've heard/ been told, andrew mckinlay is not quoted to be our new CEO 🤔.

Walter ibe surprised.

24 Jun 2024 14:23:12
Walter anyone picking up what happens to Alex Rae when contract expires on Friday.

Can't wait to say Bye Bye Clarke.

24 Jun 2024 11:31:10
SFA will probably offer him a new contract!

24 Jun 2024 12:08:04
I think we are a difficult watch but is it all down to the manager or the quality of player he has to work with. We simply don’t produce players that are technically sound, Billy Gilmour stands out like a sore thumb because he tries to play football. Watched the games with my son (Arsenal fan) he says it’s like watching Rangers, lack of width no pace and technically poor, found it hard to argue.
Hopefully Rangers are a different animal next season forever hopeful.
Croatia 4million
Serbia 6 million
Slovenia 3 million
Denmark 6 million
Georgia 4 million
Scotland 5 million +
These are all countries that seem to play to a higher technical level than us, I don’t know what we are doing wrong.

24 Jun 2024 12:46:53
Pretty simple what we are doing wrong as it all starts with youth training. We are stuck in the dark ages when it comes to grass roots football.

It's funny that we are technically poor but you watch these players in the EPL and they look good but put a Scotland top on and they are terrible. Doesn't help having a negative manager either.

Also we used to be a very hardy team but the amount of times I watched our players fall to the floor to win free kicks instead of staying on their feet and driving forward was unreal.

24 Jun 2024 15:00:48
I hate to mention his name on here, but Shankland is a proven goal scorer who scores goal from nothing chances. The combination of him and Gilmour should have played from minute 1, game 1.

24 Jun 2024 16:20:09
Simababyjive - you missed Belgium. They were ranked number 1 in the world a while back. For about 4-years if I remember correctly.

24 Jun 2024 07:39:50
{Ed's Note - Shappy has posted a new article entitled, The England Football Team Have Two Problems

24 Jun 2024 06:40:17
Agree with you 100% cooper that Scotland we the worst team to watch in this tournament and also agree that both Albania and Georgia were both bbetterbetter.

24 Jun 2024 08:43:43
Agreed, It`s also difficult to understand how countries with a similar population to us such as Denmark have continually done better over the years?
They've won the thing in the past and looked the better side against England the other day.
Something wrong from top to bottom of the Scottish game, been that way for long enough as well.
Will the powers at be finally address the mediocrity of the Scottish system?

24 Jun 2024 09:39:19
I’m curious about why there should be any correlation at all between population and performance at football. The USA, China and India have astronomically large populations and yet perform poorly at the sport. I agree totally that this is about a bottom to top overhaul of the system from grassroots to elite but I can’t say we should be making any connection between population and performance.

There is none. But likewise, you can’t just go take a system from Holland or Denmark and transplant it to Scotland and think it will work. If this were the case, it would have been done already. The sociology behind things probably needs looked at. Who knows the solution, but it’s clear something is wrong with the current system.

24 Jun 2024 09:57:09
Most of the problems stem from the SFA and SPFL systems. Any progress of emerging Scottish talent is stifled at source. No reserve leagues, young players being asked to prove their toughness and resilience against lower league part timers. Clubs playing each other at least four times a season and so on. SFA will sit in their ivory tower and do nothing as usual.

Whatever happened to the 'think tank' recommendations? Scotland is a laughingstock at the International level. Just think, if Georgia were to win their match (although unlikely) they would have a chance of progressing, which says it all. We've one player who can hold his own at that level and that's McTominay. McGinn, McGregor, Robertson all well overhyped and the rest are dug meat.

24 Jun 2024 10:31:02
Rangers and celtic are massively to blame to Scotland being rubbish. Both hardly play any Scottish youngsters. It's embarrassing that Rangers don't have one Scottish player playing in that Scotland team. Only reason Tierney and McGregor got the chance to progress through to Celtic's 1st team was because Rangers were out the league.

Only reason Patterson got in the Rangers team is because Tavernier got injured. We must stop buying all these dud English and foreign players and start using our academy more.

24 Jun 2024 12:10:15
China USA and India are not traditional football nations
If you don’t think population matters just wait to you see the medals tables at the Olympics.

24 Jun 2024 12:13:54
Rangers and Celtic are not to blame that’s nonsense, look at the rest of the teams in the SPFL they also bring in players from abroad . As a nation we are simply not providing the grassroots facilities to nurture talent, it he talent isn’t there .

24 Jun 2024 12:39:09
Holland for the last thirty or forty years have had a completely different infrastructure when it comes to the grass roots, Remember Numan talking about you are taken at an early age and schooled in how to play and in a number of positions for a number of years before they play competitive football, it may have tweaked now?
Don’t know about Denmarks philosophy.
The clubs academy’s are obviously very important and clubs like Ajax have always produced good young players.

24 Jun 2024 12:43:33
Take your head out the sand Sima.

24 Jun 2024 13:21:21
De Boer

That's garbage, the countries you mention might be large but have no interest in football whatsoever though some are newcomers at best. Looking at demographics we are farty little country with LBH diminishing interest in sport and bound to affect quality.

24 Jun 2024 02:39:53
We should be making a move for Craig Gordon as no. 2/3 he fills quata max is prob 2nd best keeper in the country still. If anyone has connections with the board.

Like John or Copland 5
Abu Dhabi is quite clued up on the club.

Going to suggest Gordon as back up to someone. It’s a no brainier.

24 Jun 2024 05:42:22
Never heard anything from CoplandFront5 for a wee while now and his info is always spot on just as John's is 👌.

24 Jun 2024 08:01:12
You want a guy on a rangers forum to speak with the board and suggest that another guy on a forum wants us to sign a 40 year old keeper?

If this is a thing, could I suggest we sign a 40 year old Portuguese forward called Ronaldo or perhaps this wee Argentine forward called Messi?

24 Jun 2024 09:07:39
Copland 5 said he was posting much less. Don’t blame him

Stevie wetting myself.

24 Jun 2024 10:26:00
Kroos, Reus and hummels for me Dado😉👍👍.

24 Jun 2024 10:39:10
Yes Dado and what about the superb, evergreen portugal 41-year-old centre half pepe 👌 He's still got it, he's superb. 👌I've said all along age is just a number if your good enough and fit enough. 🤔

That's why i had no hesitation in wanting Leon Balogun back and wanting him to get his contract extension ie. still a good centre half and still fast, i've always absolutely rated the big man 👍🇬🇧.

24 Jun 2024 11:46:20
Agree Walter👍.

24 Jun 2024 01:01:50
Flight home booked gutted. We weren't at our best tonight, it is what it is. I have loved every single second of it, absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Germany is something else, it really is, can't pick anything particular, just everything about the place is class. I thought it was 100% a penalty at the game, having watched it back, I know think 101% it was a p. k. var is there to stop these terrible decisions, why wasn't it used? I just don't understand it, shocker!

24 Jun 2024 01:35:25
Glad you enjoyed it BB4. Germanys my home from home. Just a shame the lads couldn't do the fans justice. Hope you and family get home safe and sound. Gute reisen.

24 Jun 2024 08:34:45
Wasn’t Armstrong offside in the build up?

24 Jun 2024 10:59:25
Armstrong initiated the contact by pulling the defender down never a pen and Clarke got what he deserved with the negative tactics. absolutely gutted am going to take it in the neck off all the English over here the day 🤯.

24 Jun 2024 11:02:52
Love Germany, been to Stuttgart twice, Leipzig twice via Frankfurt for night out twice 😂 with Rangers. Love it there.

24 Jun 2024 00:50:02
We've made friends at a football tournament. What else could we possibly hope for? Hierarchy need shot, disgraceful performance.

24 Jun 2024 08:54:23
I recall the Rangers fans were given an accolade from the Sevilla mayor, which was mocked by the media. But Scotland fans get praise in Germany and we’ve won the World Cup. 😂.
