  1. What a result for us. Anyone else think this might be huge for our season?
  2. That was incredible he gave it the other way
  3. Jones going off isn't a surprise but I too am surprised at Davis. Maybe the plan is to play Aribo further forward now. Hes the only one capable of unlocking this defence with Defoe.
  4. Sorry Ian, but now you just missed one of the best free kicks you'll see.
  5. This is a massive game for us on so many levels. We need to win.
  6. I suppose it could be worse .... you could be a StMirren fan having to sit and watch one team come to play football while your own team sits on the edge of their own box and tries to stop them. This is not football. This is terrible to watch as a spectacle and certainly isn't what I would consider a football match. I think we are trying hard to break them down but there's no threat on the left hand side at all from us. This is not a game for Jones but I suppose that Barker is not yet fit. Aribo is threatening but Arfield isn't contributing enough so far.
  7. I've got no idea what you're talking about here. This has absolutely nothing to do with 'yahoos'. This is 100% about the fact that we still have a minority in our 'support' who sing songs about stuff that has nothing to do with football, or our club, and despite multiple pleas continue to do so while knowing that it will damage the club. I sing songs at the games, and there can be few people who celebrate a goal (especially ones against Celtic or in Europe) as much as me, but I've not felt the need to include the words that the minority do, and which harm the club. So let's not get all dramatic and suggest anyone is banning all songs or preventing goal celebrations. I do accept that for those idiots that find a way to include f#####, or pope, or Bobby Sands in every song, this will be difficult to overcome so my advice is STAY AWAY! I don't want them at games. Rangers staff and management don't want them at games. Nobody except their own moronic copycats wants them at games. In fact these idiots are doing more to help Celtic and others at the expense of Rangers. Supporters?!? Don't make me laugh.
  8. I thought they both helped each other out at times. They work well together.
  9. I tried rangers.co.uk and it didn't work, but then when I went on to Europa.rangers.co.uk it worked great. Did you try that?
  10. I had no idea what to expect with Legia Warsaw but there's no doubt they're a strong team. I had hoped for a win beforehand, but having seen them I think that was a really good result away from home. I still fancy us to go through but it'll be tough. For me Jack was the standout player. Davis and McGregor obviously did well too, but Jack seems to make us tick. I think Aribo is worth a mention to though. He just seems to be able to find space to manouvre in even the tightest of situations. His skill is superb and he joins Ojo, Morelos, Defoe and Arfield in the list of players that must terrify our opponents.
  11. I agree. He needs a good performance, but will he be given the chance tonight? Going by his recent outings I wouldn't play him in this game. He just doesn't seem to be focussed at the moment. I don't know if he needs a cuddle or a kick up the backside, but hopefully our management team can get him back on track.
  12. I know Kent's assist and goal tally isn't high, but I think he'd be exactly what we need as the final piece in the jigsaw. I know Jones has played well in a couple of games but I still have my doubts in some of the tougher games. Kent is more suited to these in my opinion and showed it in the final 10 games of last season. Him, OJo and Morelos up front would be a nightmare for any team to face. I know Kent will cost a lot of money but I'm desperate for us to sign him because I really do believe he can be key to us winning the league this season. Kent never had an Aribo type of player to link with and to have two such skilful players on that side would work well in breaking down tough defences. I suspect as others have said that if we qualify we have a chance of Kent signing and if we don't, there's little to no chance.
  13. This is great for him and I'll be watching out for him in their games now. I really hope it helps improve him and prepare him for a shot at our first team next season perhaps. Good luck Josh.
  14. I don't know if I'm worse though because I just don't even care. If I'm being honest with myself, I wish I did care more about the national team and I'd really like to think that one day it would have meaning, but for now I have absolutely no interest or emotion attached to it. The only reason I look at any international reports is to make sure none of our players are injured. I can't even think why this has happened. When I was younger I did follow Scotland and got caught up in the emotion of internationals, friendly or otherwise. I had a few bad experiences and maybe that is what turned me against it. I've stood and listened to Scotland fans boo Rangers players which was too difficult to accept for me, but I don't know if that was the biggest reason or just one of many. Maybe it's the SFA, or the miserable performances. I just don't know. Maybe I just like watching a better standard of football than Scotland can offer because I did enjoy watching England in the last World Cup, and I go to see Spain play too. However, I do feel my position has changed slightly this season since Clarke went there. His "bye bye Rangers" comment just makes me want him to fail which is quite sad I suppose, and perhaps petty, but I can't and don't want to change the way I feel for now.
  15. That's a shame because he's exactly the type of straight talking manager the game needs. I liked him. I'm assuming the club decided, but perhaps it was his own decision.
  16. They're a nonentity this season but I think they'll be up there challenging for promotion next season. ???
  17. Aribo is class and is my new favourite player to watch. Defoe's goal was outstanding. His awareness, movement and first touch to set up the chance was world class. Never mind the opposition, because no defence can stop that quality.
  18. The one positive from this game is that the manager wont get much grief when he drops most of these players. Edmundson, Aribo and Defoe (obviously) have performed. Fod has done well when called upon. Hellander still isn't fit which is obvious but the rest are just not good enough to break into a starting spot. Kamara has secured his place as our 6th best midfielder. I hate having to say this about a player of ours bit he is awful and really needs to sharpen up quickly.
  19. Barker wont get much game time whereas Middleton will play most minutes in most games at Hibs.
  20. Thankfully I don't have to listen to any of that crap on RTV. Today we've got Tom and DJ. I don't think I could listen to comments by Sutton and co.
  21. Terrific touch, movement and finish by Defoe there.
  22. I see Kamara has continued with his sloppy start to the season. He seems to just pass the ball anywhere when under pressure, rather than just hold the ball. Has he completed a pass to one of our players yet? I'd take him off now because the manager needs to send a signal that sloppy starts are not tolerated. He is a liability in this game. It shows why we've got Andy King because Kamara is not trusted in that role. And why are none of his team mates giving him a hard time? He should be given a kick up the backside by the others but none of them have. I bet Gerrard does at half time if he lasts that long.
  23. It'll be interesting to see how the style is affected (or not) with so many changes. If this team can show the same speed, pressing and invention it'll show the squad can be rotated alot without much degradation in quality.
