OK. Proper thread posted.

OK-- Have at it!

Weird times, but I thought we handled the match well.  The goal was lovely, Hagi, Morelos and Kent all combining well. 1 - 0 against Aberdeen at Pittodrie, can't really complain about that!

Ahem-- may I introduce Rangers fans, 'debating':

I don't know what it is, but I can't take to Lampard. 

Who's your MotM vs Aberdeen.

I thought we were quite rusty overall, but a few players showed up well, like Kent, Aribo and Jack.

For me, Balogun gets it. Absolutely strolled it. Read everything, cleared everything in the air, and those runs to take men out the game will be very effective going forward.

SG: Make a run, Fredo!

AM: Meh...

*fight at the corner flag*

Liked that little scuffle in the corner when Alfie ran in. Looked like hey, fight in the corner? Gimme a piece of that action.

That was the quickest he moved all match!  

Better side overall, but we were quite rusty. 

The one man that strolled it (Balogun) has been playing for a few weeks. 

Woop! We're back! (It's been a while since I've done it, so be on the look out for any mistakes...)

Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1 pt): compo, Stewarty and Ted McMinnime (TED).

Latest Standings:

[FT] 0-1. 

I'll take it. 

Arrgghhh! I thought that was it, there. 

Aribo was in, but the defender blocks it on the line. 

Three on one, and they still can't get the ball off Aribo!

Ref steps in. 

Of course. 

Goldson down now. 

He looks like he's making the most of it, to be honest -- which I quite like: we need to draw attention to these late 'challenges'.

Oh-- they're down to 10 men. 

I would say Considine's studs are only a little higher than Arfield's...

But, Arfield is going for the ball, and Considine is-- well, you can guess. 

Oh-- they're down to 10 men. 

How many times does Tavernier lose the ball when he tries to beat a man?!

Bring on Barker-inho!

I know I have no clue about football, but after our goal Aberdeen opened up ever more and we didn't produice with our front-line.

 

So we take of the only guy who regularly shoots and strengthen out CM.

 

sigh ....

Hagi was done; he looked tired. 

Morelos' link-up play has been quite good today, for me. 

Good run from Morelos and beautiful ball from Hagi. 

Not a bad strike, but deflected wide. 

Arfield on for Hagi. 

This 0-1 lead is giving me the fear. 

Well, that was lovely play: one-two between Kent and Aribo, then nice link-up between Morelos and Hagi; Hagi's pacey shot deflected just wide.   

Oh, no! Head injury for Balogun!

Bad contact with the post in that goalmouth stramash. 

He's back on the pitch.
