What's with all this moaning about the team? I'm sitting Top of the Pops. Let me enjoy it while I can.

I never will or have boo'd my team. If, like yesterday, the performance was not to my liking then i don't applaud them off the park but up to each individual how they show their displeasure.

I always think a growing injury list is synonymous with players chucking it under a manager.

What concerned me yesterday was the players seemed bemused by the tactics/game plan if there was one. Matondo being replaced by Souttar was incredible

We’ve had too many managers. That’s a big part of the problem

I wouldn't boo a manager either. I find the atmosphere a bit toxic at Ibrox at the moment. The fans are nervous and angry and a mass groan at every mistake doesn't help anything. I am not blaming anyone just stating the obvious. I didn't want Beale and think this was an inevitable outcome of his appointment. I feel for him on a human level but he just doesn't have the experience to manage this club. What an utter mess.

That seems to be the general opinion right enough 😄

Their players and coaches can be signed up without us becoming part of the franchise.

Yes it does - otherwise it's not effective.

You can pull off Roy Keane if it pleases you. It's a free country 🤣

The footballs to drab to negative in fact it’s downright boring players are playing to whatever system he’s thought up and honestly I don’t think any of them have a clue Rangers teams should be driving forward all the time this lot seem content in knocking the ball square and backwards I imagine if most fans hadn’t prepaid their season tickets they would probably give Ibrox a miss .

Just watching Sportscene and Aberdeen running riot against Ross County. Wonder what it feels like to watch your team running riot?

We’ve only got three fit first team MF players at the moment - Lundstrum, Cifuentes & Jack. And 16 year old Bailey Rice. Let that sink in.

Pace and unpredictability would certainly offer alternatives to what's currently on display.

Keep it in the corner at home to Motherwell with 5 minutes to go..... and the frightening thing is I was shouting at them to do it too. That's when you know this MB Rangers side has gone. Times up. We want our Rangers back

Go defensive at home to a Celtc side missing their two central defenders. Go defensive at home to Motherwell to hold on to a one goal lead. Not the signs of a winning mentality.

If only we had a magic two footed Romanian midfielder to take his place. 🤔

I don't think that's what RANGERRAB said. He said we are allowing ourselves to be convinced things are worse than they really are. We aren't playing well - but currently out season isn't finished, or close to being finished. Some Rangets fans are attempting to down play a 1-0 EL victory of a Spanish team - our first victory against a Spanish team since 1985. We've won our last 3 games without conceding a goal, which must be an achievement since we're told our defence is terrible- Tavs shit, Borna is a shitbag, Davies is honking etc etc Even good rangers teams with players like Gazza, Laudrup, Goudhurst, Ally et al sometimes struggled to beat Motherwell at times

This 100% - we have become the most negative support in Europe.

I'm not being pedantic, you said the players were booed off twice in 4 days

I feel at the moment that any manager that comes in isn't going to get time. There is too much angst in the crowd, ready to turn on anyone in an instant. So I'm not sure if what you are hinting at is actually a way out.

I think Danilo will do well for us. And maybe Cifuentes too but the rest worry me

The players weren't booed off against Betis. Or are you predicting them being booed off on Wednesday no matter the score?

In any case, any loyalty is to the club and not players or managers. Beale is walking dead. No Rangers manager comes back from being booed off the park at Ibrox twice in 4 days. It's clear he's lost the players, some of whom clearly have no idea what he wants of them. The much-vaunted tactician who apparently kept Gerrard in a job has turned out to be just a gobby boy in a man's job. He should save himself further punishment by asking for a deal to walk away.

I've never booed the team, just for the record.

I did not boo at end or applaud and found it embarrasing the team applauding the fans after a shit show.

I think it's kind of crazy that the team were booed after winning the game. I get it, we didn't play well but we just came off the back of a win against Real Betis. I kind of feel like if another manager came in and lost a game then they'd get booed too. We are a bit of a shitshow of a job to take on in all honesty.

But style and effective football doesn't always equate to success. Personally I want success over style at the moment

Toss up between Butland and Lundstram but went for Lundstram.

I nearly voted for Lundstram myself. He was clearly more switched on than most and was effective when he eventually moved further forward. However, he spent most of the game playing far too deep and was confined to exchanging mostly aimless passes with the back four. That's was probably the manager's fault but in the end Lundstram's contribution was severely constrained.

He's only 5' 11" Not very big at all really 😉

Easy, Big John Lundstram.

At least Butland did his job 😉

No...

When many SPFL teams come to Ibrox, they sit deep and hope to frustrate us. If they are successful in this, they hope to have a go in the last 10 minutes to sneak a goal. We seem to be the opposite. We expect to have lots of possession and plug away, get the breakthrough and then build on it. When this does not happen, we seek to protect what we have towards the end of the game. When you are only 1 goal up with 10 minutes to play and you know the other team will come at you, you have a choice – seek to exploit their openness and risk giving them space, or shore up and play out the game. It seemed yesterday that the players’ mentality was the latter. Whether that was the Manager’s preference, I don’t know. We have the best defensive record in the SPFL and that’s not to be sniffed at. We also have some players who are not playing as well as we would have hoped. We would all like to see expansive attacking football with silky skills on show. But when that is not happening, maybe we need to be grateful for 3 points and move on. As the other Mick said – You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you’ll find you get what you need.

Yet again the ‘keeper is rightly leading the field in a team that actually contrived to win. Shows the state of affairs.

Magpies eight goals by different players Jimmy Greaves was correct it's a funny ol' game.

The team have only played 3 games though

Did you really think I was asking for a number? 😂

Good point, but given how unsuccessful we've been since 2012 - I think most fans would want success over "exciting" football. It would be great to have both tho.

I'm intrigued who is going to sack the board ..... the board perhaps?

I do think there’s been a bit of an overreaction to today’s 1-0 win. Let’s see how we get on in the next 2 home games this week against Livingston then Aberdeen

Worth bearing in mind that Hagi has not long since returned from a long injury, which is maybe contributing to him not starting in Spain.

I think it needs pointed out we are missing cantwell, raskin & Danilo atm. And we were maybe a bit weary after thursday night. But today’s performance wasn’t a one off as we’ve seen already since the start of the season

Lowry was another one that turned into a superstar without even playing for us

I've changed my mind and think we should stick with Beale. His tactics and substitutions today kept Motherwell at bay and things are starting to click up front. Just kidding. GTF Beale.
