Did PC change our formation is this why our form has went down hill sterling should be in midfeild we play better with him in there don't no why PC stopped playing him there.
18 Apr 2024 10:17:41
He stopped playing him there because Ridvan is injured and Borna is worse than a man down.
I sympathise with PC to a degree. There’s no way he continually rolls Lundstram, Goldson, Dessers etc out if he had other options available. Those 3 were in decent form about a month ago but all 3 look extremely leggy, not sure they’ve been afforded much chance to rest, especially Goldson and Lundstram. Our injury/ fitness issues are coming back to haunt us.
That said, you’d like to think even with all of that, we would still be able to beat Ross County and Dundee.
18 Apr 2024 10:21:39
Unfortunately no real option. Yilmaz wasn't fit and Bornas clearly done.
18 Apr 2024 12:53:01
It was a terrible performance, a said on Monday we wouldn’t win another game this season, mostly in anger but if Rangers were not my team I would be piling onto Hearts on Sunday as our team will struggle to score (cannot even pass forward ) and we could concede a few easily, Clemont flinging everything at it hoping something will stick and nothing is working, my only hope is Ridvan can be back and get Stirling in midfield too stop teams running through us, our best chance of scoring is own goals and pens that’s how feeble we look up top, cannot bring myself to payout on my season ticket at moment and until at least they show me a bit of fight my cash is staying in my pocket.
18 Apr 2024 09:01:26
Huge clear out needed in the summer. tbh, there are very few I'd keep. apart from Yilmaz, the entire defence can go.
18 Apr 2024 09:34:54
Genuinely who actually will get kept because we can't get rid of everyone. I actually posted something on here but it ended up in discussions page about it.
18 Apr 2024 11:43:24
I read on another site a list of 19 players that a fan said should go in the summer, and i couldn't argue with his selections. We need a massive clear out, but who will take them, for how much, and how do we fund replacements? If this lot don't get phil sacked like geo and beale, he's certainly got a job on his hands now.
18 Apr 2024 08:55:42
Boydy was spot on last night re Tav. As much as he's devides opinion, to be so dependent on a right back hoping he can dig us out is a sad inditement on the rest of the team. When he's having an off day there's not one other player in that team that looks likely to step up and make the difference. There's no goals or creativity.
18 apr 2024 09:33:07
and he has about 32 off days per season for me.
18 Apr 2024 09:56:58
He will go down as one of the least successful rangers captains ever.
18 Apr 2024 09:58:42
Tavernier is a strange one, he scores goals .? i don’t think he can play further forward as he seems to need someone infont if him. I don’t feel he’s that good at crossing the ball or defending although his defending has improved slightly. He seems to have a real lack of awareness and concentration. I feel for every goal he scored he’s probably at fault for one or 2. Certainly not a leader.
18 Apr 2024 10:26:28
Point is not so much about Tav love him or hate him but on rest of the team which offers very little if anything. Can't build a team depending on a right back.
18 Apr 2024 08:44:10
Does anyone think that Clement will have the guts to get rid of Tav and Goldson? The 2 of them along with others have seen off Gio, Beale and Clement better be careful or he could be next if he sticks by them. Our only sellable assets Butland and Yilmaz (when fit) will no doubt be away to release funds. If we go into next season with Tav, Goldson, Lundstrum and all then the exact same thing will happen - can't beat Celtic when it matter, bottle crashes if the players think they can win anything. Just absolutely disgusted with what is happening.
18 Apr 2024 08:57:25
He doesn't have the guts Struth or he would have done it by now. He is going to be another manager who will follow suit I'm afraid.
18 apr 2024 09:03:43
in 55 year i was stupid enoght to say what i really fely about this team, that they got very very fortunate, jaust as lennon had done getting the celtic job with no opposition, so did rangers win a title with no fans and no opposition, every week at ibrox was almost a trraining session, nobody could say celtic stopped playing for lennon and having no crowds was a massive thing imo, we happened to have players who thrived without fans, why? because they are scared of fans, i'm not deluded enough not to believe these things played a massive part in winning, deep down i know how incredibly fortunate we are not to be in the midst of 14 in a row or something like that, if they had got shot of lennon things could have been very different now, some won't like this, but we got as lucky then as lennon did getting the job from rodgers, tavernier, goldson imo along with the other chancers kent and morelos cost us a european final, they won almost nothing else since. every year showing how cowardly and useless they are, nobody in europe ever wanted any of them, nobody in england ever wanted any of them, all the while celtic are selling players fro the same league to clubs in england and europe, for millions, , rangers have a serious problem now, getting rid of leeches and finding the right people to act in the interests of rangers, we have paid these clowns a fortune, and even gave them new contracts when nobody else wanted them, something must have raised alarm bells when goldson was ignored across the football worl, but we handed him another multi million pound deal, they will leave very rich, imo, for almost nothing, i want them all away from my club asap.
18 Apr 2024 09:13:53
Tom, very good post.
18 apr 2024 09:17:35
and in december i said these players . like cantwell et al are sanddancers, that's why they're not wanted, they flatter to decieve, running around but doing nothing, the guy calling himself captain tav said i wasnt a rangers fan, d-k quickly joined in and storm of course agreed
well i have no qualms in telling them i for one knew these players were rubbish, and i know why celtic sell for millions and we offer knew deals to crap players, because the players we sign aren't wanted anywhere else, simple as that
sand dancers, chancers and cheats
and I've never been so angry at a rangers team.
18 Apr 2024 09:27:46
Behave AS1974.what was Clement to do with players he's had one window. Couple of weeks ago we were on here saying we could win 4 competitions. Now everyone is a dud and the manager is a sheep.
18 Apr 2024 09:30:30
You are correct, why are we paying any players over 30k a week astonishes me, let hope we do not give LUNDSTRUM new contract on money he wants, shows how our model does not work only player we will make money on is Butland, all others we will loose money on fee paid, time to start looking in correct markets to get value, agents must think it is xmas when dealing with Rangers, the other mobs fans moan about there board, but look at some of the deals they get, shows how inept our business model is.
18 Apr 2024 09:49:29
OK take Tav out the team and move Sterling in his place who looks potentially better defensively, but you also take out 20-30 goals out the team. Who else is creating or scoring. Not giving him a pass but we've bigger problems than him. Behind Dessers and Sima, Cantwell and Rabbi are on 5, Silva on 4 and noone else above 2 goals. Totally agree on Goldson tho, absolute bombscare at the back and launching passes 20yrds beyond his target.
18 Apr 2024 09:53:09
Excellent post TT my sentiments exactly
a post that comes from the heart of a true Blue 💙.
18 Apr 2024 10:03:21
GER58 Lundstram should be moved on as he is never near half his current wage never mid a pay rise - for years we have paid over the odds for massive under achievers - hopefully PC and board will put a stop to this and take us down a new route🙏
TT good accurate post which hits the spot.
18 Apr 2024 10:23:01
I would much rather we had a right back who could defend and brought in attacking players to get 20-30 goals a season and didn’t need our right back to be our top goalscorer. It’s good to have a right back who’s capable of contributing in that way, of course it is, but to be relying on him the most to pull us out a hole every week shows how inept and misfiring the rest of the attacking players are.
18 Apr 2024 10:23:08
We got to a Europa League final with fans, won a Scottish Cup with fans, won the league cup with fans.
We came from 10 behind this season with fans only for the players to crash and burn when it mattered.
No fans has feck all to do with it.
If fans were the answer we wouldn't win any game in a stadium full of them.
Our issue is that the players at our disposal don't have the ability / drive to perform over the course of a season. IMHO.
18 Apr 2024 10:30:54
Agree with just about everything u said TT.
18 Apr 2024 10:39:10
@jzer
So your telling me that Pc takes no blame at all? We are a total disgrace on that park. We can't even do the basics right! I. e passing or defending.
18 apr 2024 10:52:47
if you actually believe a stadium with 50k people, is the same as an empty arena your aff yer heid, , europe has not and never will have the pressure of a title fight either when you play for rangers, , nor does a cup game, we have one team to beat, we have scarcely touched them, we can't even beat the other teams,
acting the smartarse doesn't wash, everything i said then, and now is true.
18 apr 2024 10:56:47
my point is entirely about these players crumbling under rangers fans expectations, fine when there was nobody there, crumbled in almost every single old firm game since, every single one that mattered.
18 apr 2024 11:04:42
have you not grasped yet that those "wins" you speak about are few and far between and are cup tournaments, not 36 game affairs, anyone, anyone can win a league cup, if celtic or rangers ain't in it, anyone can win europa league, anyone can winscottish cup
we must win the spfl, not a one off cup tie.
18 Apr 2024 11:05:34
Didn't say he takes no blame but you say he hasn't guts to rid us of players or he'd have done it!? He's had no choice but to use the players we have. Until a couple weeks ago we were on cloud 9 creaming our pants about players and manager.
18 apr 2024 11:16:13
btw tattiheid, you were the attacker in chief when i said on week one that kemar roofe would cost rangers a fortune in sick pay, i said i had friends who played and coached roofe and told me he will probably be injured 80% of the time
you tore me apart for months,
didn't you? well i also told you these players got lucky, goldson tav morelos kent etc, not one of them earned rangers a penny peice did they . sometimes you should forget your stats and look at the facts. no pressure in a scottish cup run, no pressure in a europa league run and lots and lots of pressure in old firm games with 50k screaming for you to win, we won none.
18 Apr 2024 12:29:40
MPH I can’t agree with that over the course of a season we have only won one league and that’s with no fans. They are bottle merchants as soon as they get a bit of pressure.
18 Apr 2024 13:11:40
It isn't true though, TT.
You are merely stating an opinion.
Same with you, Storm.
If they can't play in front of fans then why do we win games at all?
Being bottle merchants is totally different.
18 apr 2024 13:45:03
still nt grasping it
they're ok in ibrox games v st johnston, awful in ibrox games v celtic
and terrified in away v celtic, , nobody ever said they "cant play" in front of fans
i said they could only handle the pressure with no fans, as provenb by the stream of old firm defeats since.
18 Apr 2024 17:53:32
Still not grasping it.
We beat Celtic at a full Hampden in the SC semi in extra time after playing extra time in Europa a few days before in front of another full house.
Tell me again how fans do or don’t come into it?
And wha5 parameters come into play?
18 Apr 2024 08:23:39
Still raging about last night's match bunch of bottle merchants, how can we expect to win the league when we drop 10 points to Motherwell, Ross C. Dundee Celtic with no fans, Tav hall of fame more like captain of the Titanic, don't know how many times I shouted at the television with Goldson's wonder passes as BF would say big Fud rant over.
Sorry what an embarrassment for Scottish football when Dundee can't even blow the baws up.
18 Apr 2024 08:48:19
Tav Hall of shame more like . i'm in my mid 50s and I've followed the team (like a lot of the guys on here ) since my early teens . I'm absolutely sick of this gutless outfit . No desire at all . How many managers do tav, goldson, barasic, lundstrom need to see off before someone at the top sees the problem.
18 Apr 2024 07:56:34
No fight, No hunger, no desire, no bottle, no title.
18 Apr 2024 08:07:22
Asathor, pretty much sums it up. still can't believe how we've folded.
18 Apr 2024 08:10:34
Prob no cup either.
18 Apr 2024 08:12:08
Spot on ASathor, this is a massive capitulation this season. PC's comments after tonight game are crazy also, he needs to take his head out of the sand and drop the main culprits, Tavernier, Goldson and Lundstrum, play some boys if needed, at least they would play for the jersey, it no longer matters anyway, at this rate our season will be over by Sunday evening.
18 Apr 2024 08:47:27
Short and straight to the point, Asathor. Just like you, mate, i believe there's no point dressing this up from what it really is.
18 Apr 2024 08:49:36
Media reporting that Lundstram now favours staying at Ibrox. Hopefully not he is part of the problem along with Goldson and Tav and too many to mention. Bring back Lammers. Oh what a thought.
18 apr 2024 09:22:37
i wonder if they have sensed a major weakness in clement
and i'm serious
these clowns are happy to act in unison, they've been doing it for years now, and seen off a few gaffers, clement will be next.
18 apr 2024 09:36:44
hopefully the chairman will put a stop to any idiotic decisions by the manager, like offering even more money to losers.
18 Apr 2024 12:21:53
Asathor I had posted something similar after the Celtic game. And unfortunately it hasn’t changed. 🇦🇺🇬🇧🏴.
