RANGERRAB

Could be a few seasons yet before anyone else wins the EPL other than Man City

PQ really are a bunch of greetin’ wee girlies, aren’t they?

 

26th, your indefatigability in monitoring their gibberish is saluteable.

 

BBC PQ are anything but that. 

Theyre an infiltrated organisation with agendas

Porteous is easily wound up & distracted. He would be a liability playing for either Rangers or Celtic 

Delighted with the result but I didn’t think the game was put to bed until we got the third. We didn’t take advantage of their red card as we might have done up until then.

Good to see Ryan Kent score one and get an assist for Colak’s first. That more like it from him

Kent needs to produce big style today.

His performances of late simply haven’t been good enough.

Let’s hope Tom Lawrence is fit.

And GvB drops Ryan Kent.

Wee Nicola relies on the bheasts vote

So to summarise the SkY deal is it ?

£25m for 48 SPFL premiership live matches(current deal)

£30m for 60 SPFL premiership live matches(new deal)

TWO POINTS:
1)given the fact that SKY don’t use their full allocation (they only televised 41 games last two seasons IIRC) why allow them 60 games ? They won’t show 60 will they?

2) There are 228 SKY premiership games each season. In new deal SKY will show 60 max. What about the other 168 games?  SKY have exclusive rights to them don’t they? Makes no sense to me. Could Rangers,say, not be allowed to sell homes games to another broadcaster?

I have no inside info but the non performances at Septic Park and Amsterdam tell their own story.

The Septic Park performance was a goalkeeping horror show. We failed to deal with the goalkeeper situation during the summer & paid the price 

Ajax were a better team than we’d thought they’d be. Remember they’d won all six of their CL group matches last season. I think they’re on the verge of bringing thro another of their great sides again like the late 1990’s with the de Boers, overmars etc

What do you want a dressing room video?

How do you know the dressing room is as you say?

I digress, the dressing room is not a  harmonious environment unfortunately. Not everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. Something that I find both sad and disappointing as these situations tend to always end the same way.

 

 

And you can confirm this? 😳

That could just be a lack of motivation from the players and manager though. Gio doesn't come across as particularly inspiring or motivating. I really don't think he's lost the dressing room, the fans yes but we are extremely fickle.

Tend to agree but I think the main concerns  of the support are the summer signings where only 2 out of the 7 have made any real impact & the uninspiring performances in the SPFL.

An article posted in FF and well worth a read.

Not sure I’d entirely agree with the comparison of the current team with the John Greig Rangers team of the late 70’s/early 80’s. 
JG’s team he inherited from Jock Wallace was an older team which was past its best. Trying to rebuild with players mostly bought from other Scottish clubs was always going to be difficult when we had little or no young players of our own coming through at that time.

I've already said that numerous times in this thread alone.

 

Much of the current opprobrium being flung in the Boards direction could have been avoided simply by them communicating, the fact they're currently firefighting is a problem of their own making.  An effective PR and communication department allied with something resembling a customer service department would go a hell of a long way to preventing a recurrence. 

 

We allegedly appointed a new head of customer service but all we seem to have seen is the Ask Rangers stuff which is basically a list of faq's, honestly begs the question what was the point?

Thought we had a PR guy, David Graham. No idea what he does

Ultimately, David Murray is to blame for our ongoing financial problems.  

 

I wonder if I'll live long enough to see us recover from 2012. 

Murray totally neglected Rangers  during his last 10years of ownership 

SAF used to say before signing a player always check his attendance record.

In the case of Delph don’t touch him with a barge pole 🤠

The players who are undermining the manager need to go too if/when he goes.

Not easy to get rid off players who are under contract 

19 minutes ago, Gonzo79 said:

The chants etc during the minute's silence was entirely predictable.  The Dundee United support are like a Diet Green Brigade.  

 

As for GvB, I think it's a matter of when now.  The playing squad look disinterested.

Like many I’m concerned about our domestic form. But we are missing players who are injured. Lawrence & Hagi in particular.

If Gio goes who replaces him? I’d fear another Pedro appointment

Dundee United are aware of the actions of a small section of the crowd who chose to not respect the minute's silence before this afternoon's match at Ibrox.

As a club, ahead of the game we reached out to advise our supporters of the pre-match arrangements with the expectation that the minute silence would be observed.

Not much of an apology is it?

Priority number1 for the manager should be to get us scoring a lot more goals than we are at present

To be honest I’d have taken any win today after those 3 defeats but there is no logic to team selection & tactics.

why did an 18 year old start at CB today ahead of the guy who’s been playing regularly and the £4m Ben Davies? 

what does the manager think of Ryan Kent’s contribution ? Should he be dropped?

who was playing wide right today? Arfield isn’t ideal there is he? 

How did Kamara & Matondo make the squad v Napoli but neither on the bench today?

Why did we do nothing about the goalkeeper situation in the summer?  We’ve now recalled 40 year old McGregor. Not exactly a long term solution is it?

Just hope we can get a decent result & performance after what has been a very disappointing month to say the least

The biggest change we’ve made since last season has been at the back replacing McGregor and Bassey with McLaughlin and Sands. It hasn’t been a change for the better unfortunately 

I’d like to see us focus on domestic success this season. CL is way out of our league financially but has given us much needed revenue 

I don’t think the league is finished by any means but we can’t have any more slip ups.

And we should be aiming for a treble including both cups 

we must start being more successful at home again

We competed well up to the sending off. Was it a second yellow for Sands? Not quite sure from where I sit.

difficult to play against that quality of opposition with 11 men let alone 10.

The CL will give us much needed revenue but we must really focus this season getting domestic success. Since 2016 all we’ve had is one league title & one SC. That needs to improve
