RANGERRAB

We’re the Belgians singing any naughty songs ? ??

Thought the SFA chairman had to be associated with a member club? When did this change?

Petrie should focus on sorting out his own vile club first before commenting on others

I can't say that I blame them for staying away.

Who is staying away?

I genuinely believe Scotland don’t have the numbers in their support they once had.

Myself & my 16 year old son are Rangers ST holders. When I  was his age I attended Rangers & Scotland home games.

He (& his pals too who are Rangers supporters) have absolutely no interest whatsoever in Scotland games.

On Friday night he & a few pals went to the cinema when Scotland were playing Russia in what was an important game for Euro 2020 qualification. 

Changed days indeed & I’d suggest this is very commonplace amongst the younger RANGERS  support

I  hope Ryan Jack didn't play?I

Thankfully he didn’t 

I read the attendance last night was just 32,000? Is that correct?

If so that’s a very poor attendance for a very important game against a side who reached the WC QF’s last year 

Few, if any, out of contract at the end of the season will get new deals I’d have thought 

Signing Kent is great news but I still wonder about some of the summer signings. Only one started yesterday. 

If Kent is signing then that is absolutely fantastic news. We need better quality inside areas than we’ve currently got. Pity we didn’t have him yesterday

With Jones and Barker injured and Hastie loaned out maybe Gerrard has been handed an excuse to make a last minute loan signing...

Or how about giving  Grezda another chance?

Talking of the road ahead, Gerrard would do us all a favour if he imposed a large fine on Jones and left him out of the first team squad for a few games. 

I’d have thought Jones getting himself sent off in injury time was not the most significant of our problems yesterday.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some activity tomorrow. In and out.

 

The way ahead now is to win the League Cup, qualify for the EL last 32 & still be within touching distance with celtic in the league before we go to Parkhead at Xmas. I suspect we will play them at Hampden again before then though. That will be a massive game. If we haven’t improved by then, it really can’t be dismissed as a bad day at the office..

I think we’ll be trying to offload players only. Can’t see any more arrivals.

I just wish we could have kept or bought young Kent but we just cant afford to spend decent money on players .

It's a true saying you only get what you pay for .

Kent mostly played wide left last season. We seem to have recruited two players to replace him this season in that role i.e. Jones & Barker.

Are either of them as good as or better than Kent?

Don’t think so

Candeias is not the answer. He would not have made a difference today.

 

I still would have kept him around, but didn't he want to leave?

He may well have wanted to leave if he wasn’t getting game time but he shouldn’t have been allowed to leave unless we were sure we had a replacement 

I think there also has to be a concern about the summer signings. About 10 signings & only 1 started today.

And I think letting Candeias leave & not having a suitable replacement could come back to haunt us too. Just not convinced about Ojo.

Anyway, the good news is we have players in the squad who have been waiting. Now they must get their chance. Helander & Andy King spring to mind immediately. Maybe even Docherty, Barisic, Halliday & Greg Stewart. Hard to see who we bring in to midfield, though you could argue we had too many players in there today. But Helander in particular must start now. Goldson gave away the 1st goal today & Katic disappointed as well. Both make too many mistakes, the big Swede must come in now.

Helander looks slow to me. Frankly some of the others you mentioned aren’t good enough & should be moved on(if possible)

Kent & Candeias are gone. Trying to replace them with the likes of Jones & Stewart won’t work. Not sure about Ojo either

Every penny we have spent on transfers was on the bench or in the stands. 

 

10 new players is it and one started. 

 

Ridiculous 

Like the signings Warburton made in summer 2016. Few got in the starting eleven 

Neil Lennon who once referred to Rangers as ‘orange b@@@@@@‘ is talking about sectarianism  ???

Is there anyone left in our support who doesn’t think FARE are out to get Rangers? They are working to an agenda set by our enemies.

In 2012 there were individuals & organisations trying to close Rangers down. They haven’t gone away. Some of us need to realise that.

Im not sure I can agree with that Pete - the original aim was to protect club & defend the support.

 

Being subjected to punishment courtesy of a report from an organisation with a very questionable history & conduct, reporting to a extremely totalitarian Football Authority whose Articles would give most legislators a field day, ticks my boxes in terms of defending the support.

 

That said I do think the drive & initiative needs to come from within the club itself - I doubt, as histoty has shown, that it wil stop with TBB.

More needs to be done about FARE and their accountability.

Who decides games they attend & 

is this with the consent of UEFA ? 

Who are the people they send to games & their backgrounds?

Do UEFA validate any reports they send after games?

Who is funding FARE?

FARE are a secretive organisation with agendas against selected clubs. They are cowards who will not reveal the identity of their ‘match reporters’.

 There is no place in the 21st century for KGB-type spying organisations in football or any other sport . Discipline must come from UEFA only in order to be seen as impartial

Michael Stewart the failed SNP MP candidate ???????

He needs to get his blinkers off

The SNP aren’t an anti-British, anti-English party are they Michael?

I think it should be possible to meet with FARE. I had a meeting with PIara Powar in the past, although that was when he was at Kick It Out. 

Even if we did get a meeting with him I’d doubt very much if he would reveal much about his secretive organisation

I actually agree with the sentiments behind meeting UEFA and FARE if required , like it or not this isn’t going away , if we do not get in front of this the SPFL will be next .

I don’t think there’s any chance FARE would meet us. To me they’re a secret, sinister organisation who operate in a similar way to the stasi & KGB used to do by spying on specific people & organisations. Their accountability should concern everyone.

I would however like to see the club enter dialogue with UEFA to determine what their relationship with FARE is and specifically who decides what games they attend. We need to know who these people at games are & who they are accountable to.

So little seems to be known about FARE & who is funding them. Football must have openness & transparency. If not then things could turn very nasty indeed.
