Palace run out easy and deserved winners.

Hopefully "Big Soapy" will be nowhere near the 1st team, nevermind the vice captaincy - guys a liability.

Player attitude?

We're worse because of who we appointed. However, with hindsight, given the impending takeover, we were never going to appoint a permanent manager to replace Clement. Doesn't mean Clement shouldn't have been sacked. Our away form was horrendous and we'd been knocked out the Scottish Cup by Queens Park. That result alone should have seen him sacked. Just like under Beale, there were warning signs in pre-season of how bad this season was going to turn out. We then drew our 1st league game away to a Hearts team that went months without a victory (at one point we were the only team not to score against them). We then lost in the CL qualifiers and whilst we can point to Jefte's red card, if we are honest with ourselves, we never looked like qualifying. Most fans chose to ignore the red flags and even when we got worse, most were still championing a manager who was clearly losing the plot and clearly unable to come up with a style of play to beat SPL teams. In summary he should have been sacked long before he was but once again our board dithered and showed again, when it comes to football matters, they are out their depth.

If Raskin is still with us next season he MUST be made captain and big Soapy yice-captain IMO.

Oooh yay, how shite.

We don’t have many games left just tell Barry the ned to fuck off let the kit man pick the team couldn’t be any worse than the present bunch of mugs

Wrexham promoted to the Championship next season. Three promotions on the bounce.

Agreed Cammy, but to take a huff and sack him without a replacement was dumb. No one can deny we are worse now than ever.

The on-field captain today looked as though it was Raskin rather than Tavernier. It looked as though the former was the only one playing for the jersey. Lots of basic errors from many players today suggest we need to upgrade in numerous positions.

I think under SG and Gio to an extent we showed that modern day footballers can be fit, strong and relentless. As an example we defeated Celtic in extra-time straight after playing extra-time in an Europen game. Then defeated Hearts after extra-time in the final. The invincible 55 title win where we simply blew teams away. So much so, the odd draw seemed like a defeat. The players were mentally and physically fit, played a system that worked against Celtic and also against the rest of the league. We are a shadow of that team / squad.

This current team reached the last 8 of the EL. It’s the performances in the domestic league which are the problem

I was actually thinking when you 🤞 you were getting there but unfortunately as Barry said the team never took his instructions so what’s the point or points in this case 🤣

Not for me, 1982 until Souness took over was far, far worse.

And that is why you will never be manager of Rangers.

I agree to a point Cammy no doubt about it that science and technology may aid in certain aspects of the new footballer of today, Prime example of why I will take old school footballers any day is there wasn’t any bull shit similar to my day in the Army early 00’s when you went on a Run or a TAB /CFT and showed any sort of lack of effort you got beasted, One Golf club one Golf ball open field and need I say the rest 🤣 If you were lucky and the Cpl would have a bad day and slice it you would be away in the first seconds but you didn’t show lack of effort or desire again, I think todays footballers are pampered and every knock or strain is seen as a precautionary measure which makes them soft and come under a false sense of safety thinking there careers will be some how ok, sure times have changed and we must change with it etc but come on Ripping socks to aid the calf injuries or Jude Bellingham has his socks ripped every game and the club pays the fine every time it’s done 🤣. How many injuries were there in the old days and how many were out for long periods baring in mind the balls and the surfaces and boots they had back then to today’s modern dynamic football was 100x worse. New approach is needed and fast to establish a better atmosphere within our club and what standards need to be maintained, I hope this new investment group can instal that in the club like it’s showing they are doing at Leeds with being ruthless and calling out the ones who don’t put in the effort and desire we as fans expect and deserve for our continued support , let’s hope the other 49% of our board also acknowledges this radical change is needed.

FFS Barry.........

I think you're all forgetting something. I just missed out on a Correct Score in the GPL. I'm running out of games to catch BD !!

He did lose to Queens Park and made some of his own history in away games don't forget......

This current Rangers team is right up there as one of the worst I have witnessed in my 41 years on this planet.

Ah, the play the youngsters card so we can crucify them when things inevitably go wrong. Which youngsters are we specifically meaning here and how many times have you seen them play and what can they bring to the team?

I dont envy the new guy one little bit. Massive job on their hands

This forum doesn't have a sad face reaction, but if it did, this comment would get one. How grim.

Oh it can - it can make you strong on the ball (just think Bassey and Aribo), and can make you faster than your opponent. The squads fitness is a disgrace and was something the Belgian Waffle said he'd address - in retrospect he's made it worse (like a lot of things). BF will carry the blame for limping to the end of the season with an unfit squad of players who've been conditioned to being 2nd. We sacked Clement (rightly) but due to the impending takeover were unable to appoint a permanent manager, so the board done what the do best, went for the easy option. Until we appoint a board and footballing structure who can get us fit, hungry and have a winning mentality/desire we'll continue to struggle. This board conditioned us to be 2nd best and some of us bought it. Getting exactly what we deserve.

Avoiding defeat by St Mirren is progress. Maybe Barry’s got a chance after all.
