Just watched first half of Scotland game.
All the posession, loads of chances, sitters missed and nothing to show for it.
Reminds you of anyone?
Surely a better 2nd half.
03 Jun 2024 18:29:17
It's been poor. McCrorie at RB is a no go.
03 Jun 2024 18:29:42
To think that people think Shankland would of won us the league too. Shows against a team much weaker than SPL teams on average that are sitting back, he has done absolutely nothing.
03 Jun 2024 18:38:49
Bang on Big Blue, I don’t like judging players on single games but in reality he doesn’t perform at international and didn’t perform in Belgium.
He will no doubt score goals in the SPL, just like Dessers does but if we’re to seriously challenge Celtic we need better than both.
I’ve read some absolutely mental statements on here about if we’d signed Shankland we would have 100% win the league, ludicrous.
03 Jun 2024 19:06:44
No need to worry bigbluejim because lawrence shankland won't be at rangers mate, i've absolutely no doubt about that ?.
03 Jun 2024 19:12:53
2-0 against the mighty gibraltar and to think some Scotland fans think they'll do well at the Euros lol no points, no goals and at least 7 against.
03 Jun 2024 19:20:00
Player of the year Jim, can't do it in every game mate. Scored more than our centre forward this year.
03 Jun 2024 20:13:10
Boy blue he was dreadful along with a few others
In fairness must be difficult playing against a 42 year old outfielder.
03 Jun 2024 20:34:13
Jim - Judging the boy on one poor friendly game (by whole Scotland team) vs 38 SPL league games is hardy an accurate nor like for like comparison - would you not say? ?.
03 Jun 2024 20:37:12
John, just when I thought it couldn’t get better but you go and add sarcasm to your extensive knowledge ??.
03 Jun 2024 20:40:03
Don't think anyone expects Scotland to do much but as Bb4 says just enjoy it.
03 Jun 2024 21:06:40
John, that should have been a ??, not a ?.
03 Jun 2024 21:15:35
I wouldn't read too much into a friendly match in sweltering heat.
Would like to see Lawrence at Rangers and to be leading the Scotland frontline at the Euros but I doubt I'll be seeing either.
03 Jun 2024 21:19:55
Che Adam’s has to lead the line in the Euro’s.
03 Jun 2024 21:43:44
I hope he does well Scotty, always looks a good player if not spectacular.
I’m a loyal Scotland supporter and I can’t wait to get to the Allianz Arena and cheer them on, that said, Scotland not to score a goal at 14/ 1 is very tempting.
03 Jun 2024 21:59:08
Boyblue, think you missed my point, playing for Hearts he gets space as teams don't sit in like Gibraltar did tonight. Against us they always do so just stating it shows what he would be like. He would score goals no doubt but as many as he did at Hearts or as many as Dessers I doubt it. We need much better.
He fails every time on international duty and did the same in Belgium against better quality teams. We want the title then I'm sure PC and Koppen will be targeting better.
42 YO outfielder is nuts John like that Japanese player.
04 Jun 2024 06:44:00
Not sure what bit u think is sarcas, but the sub Gibraltar brought on was 4w according to the commentator.
04 Jun 2024 06:52:07
John, bigblue - he does it in our league guys, season after season. The league we need to win first. He gets so much dross. Player of the season, most goals scored and whether you want him or not, he's better than what we have.
And before somebody says Danilo is the best striker in Scotland, it's too early to be judged. One bad night against Gibraltar and everybody thinks he's rotten.
He bosses and scores in the spl, which to be honest, I'd rather win and prise away from that mob. When we have a striker that bangs 30+ in season on season, maybe then i'll start saying he's the best in our league.
People diss him cause he's a hearts player and have the blinkers on. Everybody has a bad night. Gibraltar knew how to stop him with a 2 man press and to be honest we missed some sitters, but that ain't all shanks.
Yes, I do think we would be a far better team with him and definitely score more goals - why would he not?
04 Jun 2024 07:05:17
Dado nice. That's the equivalent of name dropping in football terms lol.
04 Jun 2024 08:02:36
I'm not missing your point at all Jim as you don't have one mate. He fails every time on international duty? He's only had about 3 starts scored one goal, so hardly failing mate. So that's you judged him on teams that sit back after 1 game? In 35 degree heat, You should maybe have pc's job. Jim lammers also failed here, ripping it up in a better league, means nothing.
John he wasn't great last night but he was great 31 times this season best player in Scotland. Just for the record I've never once said we would have won the league if we bought him.
Stuz you've not seen anyone on here saying Scotland will do well, just happy to be there mate ?????????????????????.
04 Jun 2024 08:04:59
Agree Scotty, as dado says not spectacular but always feel he can make something happen.
04 Jun 2024 09:00:31
Blue dreamer boy blue. Why did gerrard Gio Beal and now clement not wat him,
04 Jun 2024 10:14:13
Is it just me or did i see dessers miss sitters with nigeria! Dessers lost us that league, look at the chances squandered in games, esp against minnows.
I know who i would have in my team, our standards upfront have been depleted, we need a scottish spine.
04 jun 2024 10:19:23
just for fairness john
2 of those managers was sacked for failure, they won one ( unique) league title between them, one cup, and clement lost a title when he was odds on favourite to win it
maybe not seeing players like shankland, ferguson, porteius, doig etc is the reason
you can't put failures up as being great judges surely.
04 Jun 2024 10:53:07
Shankland isn’t the answer don’t know why some think he will be it’s ridiculous.
04 Jun 2024 10:54:29
John gio Gerrard gio beale clement have won 1 title between them in about 5-6 years so maybe there decision making wasn't the best. John am no calling for him to be signed as it isn't happening, just don't know why the boy gets a hard time, he's Scottish he's one of us.
Loads on here with no intrest in Scotland watching an end of season friendly.
John you didn't see the sarcasm in your post? It was very sarcastic mate.
04 Jun 2024 11:14:48
What do you think would happen to Shanks if he joined us and was our 1 up top, he would be against 2 CH's like Gibraltar last night.
My point boyblue is simple. if we want 56 before them lot then we need better than him and he wouldn't score more goals than Dessers. Playing for Hearts is different than playing for us. If he was that great I'm sure one of our previous managers would have signed him by now.
04 Jun 2024 12:40:01
getting hate for a friendly game. aye this must be a Ranger page HAHA.
04 Jun 2024 13:03:19
What as sarcastic please explain. I said shankland was poor along with many others. That was a fact
Commentator states that bring on 42 year old sub fact.
So where is the sarcasm.
Ally how is it hate pointing out what happened.
04 Jun 2024 13:49:57
Bigbluejim, I'm not sure shankland is the answer as our main striker but if he wasn't expensive, he'd be a decent squad player, however to say he wouldn't score more goals for us than dessers or he does for hearts is wrong.
for starters he would have double the chances playing for rangers and in the season just finished where he won player of the year, he scored home and away against rangers and Celtic and scored the winner in the Edinburgh derby.
he doesn't only score against Dundee and Motherwell, he's a country mile better than dessers, anyone who thinks we can win the league with dessers up front is delusional.
04 Jun 2024 14:27:54
John you didn't write commentator states that bring on 42yr old sub,
You wrote in fairness must be difficult against a 42yr old. if you can't see the sarcasm in that you must be the only one mate. John it didn't annoy me, bit of sarcasm is fine mate, no sure why your denying it though.
Jim just a difference of opinion mate, shankland would outscore dessers in a rangers jersey, might be different playing for rangers, but remember rangers attack a lot more and create more chances than hearts so works both ways mate. Again not calling for him to be signed just don't understand why so many dislike him, maybe a Scottish thing not wanting other Scots to do well.
Not sure which dessers your watching to say shanks wouldn't score as many, shanks is composed in front goal if dessers had his composure he would be excellent, dessers good at holding ball up, bringing players into play, shanks is better finisher don't think many would disagree.
04 Jun 2024 15:01:10
Jack as anyone on here ever said we would win a league with Dessers.
04 Jun 2024 16:22:00
Yeah John, I'll give you 2 of the top of my head, mystar and mph said we would win the league, a good few more just can't remember.
04 Jun 2024 18:31:13
Boy blue I don’t see how that is sarcasm but respect your view
Boy blue re dessers everyone entitled to their opinion.
04 Jun 2024 22:34:22
John plenty on here thought we'd win the league so as dessers was our main striker from Christmas onwards then I'd say many thought we would win it with dessers, many regularly commented on how good he was, I don't want to slag the guy but I'm only interested in us being successful and we won't be with a striker of his standard up front.
