RANGERRAB

I also think it’s too easily forgotten we sold Bassey, Aribo & Paterson last year. Whilst I the transfer fees were much needed it has weakened our squad in my opinion. Especially Aribo.

MB is disadvantaged at the moment by our two poor transfer windows in 2022. 
It’s vital we improve our summer ins/outs this time.

Ultimately it was domestic form which cost GvB his job, particularly poor results against Celtic.

MB has now played them twice (neither at CP) and won neither. There’s still at least a couple of games against them before the end of the season. I wonder if those who hounded out GvB will do likewise with MB if he fails to win any games against them this season

Starting XI debate aside... I thought Kent, Tilman, Morelos and Sakala were all poor today. So many wrong decisions when we had potential opportunities.

Do we have better players than those four you mention in our squad ? I don’t think so 

And where do we get those better players from and what would they cost us?

Skippy the Celtic manager has won something like just 3 out of 18 games in Europe. That tells me they’re not that good.

Tactics, game plans & formations play a massive part in football nowadays. Doesn’t seem to matter who we play we get the same product on the park.

That needs to change

With the team & the way they play at the moment I’d be tempted to go 4-4-2 when we play them. Would give us a better chance of controlling the MF which we didn’t do today for long periods 

The game was lost 5 mins either side of HT. 

Big Colak looks miles off the pace since he returned 

Taking off Morelos was madness. 

Poor last 5 minutes of 1st half has cost us. We simply could not keep hold of the ball 

It’s vitally important we keep 11 players on the park for the whole game.

wow, easy. Where did that come from!!!  

Chelsea have only scored 23 league goals this season. Haaland has something like 26 league goals.

Not difficult to see where Chelsea’s problems are. They need a top drawer striker. 

Astonishing at the faux outrage about staging the WC in Qatar but quite happy to accept their money for club football 

Is there anyone in Scottish football I wonder who seriously believe SKY will show anywhere near those 60 games per season they’re entitled to show in the new TV deal ?

Wait--I mean they should not go for an Australian.

 

And definitely not one that is overweight. 

 

An Australian who’s got his UEFA pro licence? 🤠

THERE IS NO WAY BIG ANGE IS LEAVING THE HOOPS. NO WAY.

Has Big Ange got his UEFA pro licence yet? That might stop him getting an EPL job

We are simply a poorer team without Kent.

And an in-form Morelos too though some may disagree. He gets in defenders faces.

Don't agree with the decision to gift them a goal - they were NOT giving us the ball back. They kicked, elbowed, pushed, dived and timewasted all game.

 

Through to next round and Raskin looks an absolute baller. 

Need to see it again. Were they giving us the ball back? Why didn’t they just punt it up the park to sands or davies?

Our ability in home domestic cup ties to make teams from lower divisions look much better than they are never ceases to amaze me.

So'ton sack Nathan Jones. 

How long before Pep Postecoglou gets linked? 🤠

Just hope we get a better performance at home than we’ve had in recent times in cup ties when I think of the games against Stranraer, Stirling Albion(in the SC) & more recently Dundee (in the LC).

A lot of us went to these games hoping to see a barrowload of goals & were somewhat disappointed.

We should be taking at least 4 or 5 off Partick Thistle easily 

I think all the charges are for Man City only & don’t involve other clubs however it would be interesting to know if they were inflating the loan fees they got for their players loaned out.

AFAIK Patrick Roberts was on circa £50k p.w. when loaned out to the yahoos. How much of that wage did the yahoos pay? And was there a loan fee involved? What did they disclose to the SFA? 
Same for the other loanees they got from Man City when Mark Lawwell worked there. And players purchased too.

What action will the SFA take against them if they lose the class action?

It looks like fan ownership is a reality at last.

Not for Club1872. Is their shareholding getting diluted? I thought they’d more than 5.09%
