He was not even on the Bench today while he has been training all week as far as I know. It looks like all is not good at the old mill.

Agree just a pity he never used a professional foul outside the box at the 2nd goal. Was he already on a yellow?

I am surprised nobody has picked up on Hodson. I think I can run quicker than him even at my age. He offers nothing going forward or in defence. Beerman is a better option. Cart horse comes to mind.

I am not sure you can blame the manager when a 19 year old makes a mistake. I will say though that I disagreed with his substitutions. I would never have taken off Morelos I would have told him to stay in the box and forget his midfield play. Miller should be dropped he is hopeless.

My statement above was perfectly true. If you remember right the first thing that Pedro did put O'Halloran at right back and made a complete wobbly defence. So as I said from his first game he was doing things that were a bit dubious. I am not really bothered that he tried O'Halloran at RB because I would still like to see him tried there,

If you are not well mate just leave it. Don't force yourself to do it.

My first game as far as I can remember was v Kilmarnock in the early sixties. I remember sitting on my Dads shoulders in the Derry with everyone singing. The songs meant nothing to me then I was just in awe. I think we won 2-0. Looking back on our fantastic Gersnet Archive( If you have not visited you should) it must have been 63-64 as that is the only 2-0 I can find in the early 60's

That word if can be used for almost everything. If a new manager comes in and loses 10 games in a row he will be in trouble.

There is a programme on TV at the moment where well known people have to direct an orchestra. While the Orchestra is made up of top musicians with the sheet music in front of them it normally ends up in a complete mess as they do not have a leader. The same is with a football team. If you have a leader who can't pull things together and is not clear on how the game should be played then it also normally ends up in a mess. It did with Pedro,he was just not getting his message across to the players.

Yes that's an easy one. Don't anybody talk about pedro's negative points then we can all think he is great like der Berliner does. Are you a politician per chance?

That can of course be positive or negative. it could be he is being considered a first team player or he is totally not at the races.

It is not really about Advocaat it is about Murty getting experienced back up. This would be positive in the short term but would also be putting a step into the future.

Oh he definitely was a money manager that is for sure. It is slightly different now though. He is 71 and wants one more contract for 2 years. He does not have the time to wait and I think as long as his own bank balance is growing he will take a job like Rangers guiding a young manager. He did the same with GvB until he got the Dutch job.

Lets face it Pedro was rank rotten from day one.

Being overweight does not make him a bad person. Being a dick and trying to belittle Rangers does.

I would imagine so but it depends what is in his contract. I will be shocked if GvB leaves Feynoord any time soon.

Having been at AZ I doubt he had much money there. Advocaat does not have the time anymore to wait for a top club with plenty of money. in the Dutch team he also had to work with what he had, which isn't great. it probably won't be happening but I think DA would jump at it.

I could never stand Advocaat as he is a money wolf. He is only interested in one thing and that is getting money in the Advocaat bank. But! In this case I think it may be to Rangers favour. Advocaat does not bring a full backroom staff these days so he would work with Murty I think. He is very experienced and does have a winning mentality which would help Murty a lot. As he has been at AZ and Feynoord of late I don't think he is asking funny money these days + you save on the extra backroom staff wages and on any payoff. To cap it off. I still can't stand him but if it is in our financial benefit I could go him for 2 years.

I don't think so.

oh yeh him as well. I was nearly right.

I have a feeling it will be Dick Advocaat next to Mutry. Advocaat retires in 1 or 2 years Mutry takes over as Manager.

Don't underestimate the thugs and their get out of jail cards.

Won't even read it. Another Tim with a view on Rangers. He has no idea what is going on but just belittling our club.

A MIX of Rangers’ Development Squad and first-team put four past Berwick Rangers as they controlled the game from start to finish in the Borders. The home side got just one shot on target in Steven Notman’s testimonial, who was celebrating 11 years of service for the League Two side, as the Gers pressed them from the first whistle. David Bates opened the scoring with a cheeky backheeled finish just before the half hour mark and Aaron Nemane added a second, finishing into an open goal just before the break. Serge Atakayi raced away from the Berwick defence to finish one on one 18 minutes from time and then Jordan Thompson added a fourth late on as he blazed an unstoppable low strike home. With Graeme Murty watching on Rangers started the game on the attack with seven first teamers involved and never really let up. With 13 minutes played Serge Atakayi played it short into the feet of Aaron Nemane as he burst into the box from the edge of the area. The Manchester City loanee lined up his shot on the angle as he opened his body but dragged his chance wide of the far upright. Nemane was involved again a minute later as he latched onto a ball down the right from, captain for the night, Lee Hodson and sent a lofty cross into the penalty box. Eduardo Herrera was there waiting but placed his flicked header off target in the same direction Nemane’s shot had gone. After few chances with the first-team Dalcio, on loan from Benfica, was starting for the Gers at Shielfield Park and went close on the 18 minute mark. The Portuguese picked the ball up 20 yards out after a Light Blues attack was snuffed out by the home side and he attempted to curl one under the cross bar but it rose just over. Rangers had a bit of scare when the returning Ross Lyon passed across his own area into the path of Berwick’s Danny Watt. The young striker couldn’t make a good enough deflection though to share the Gers blushes. Lyon has been missing with a groin injury and had lined up in the unfamiliar position of left-back so could be forgiven for his early mistake. Apart from that and a weak effort from testimonial man Notman Rangers had been in the driving seat and on 27 minutes they had the lead. Dalcio sweeped a strike goalwards and as it looked like it could go wide centre-back David Bates turned the skill on to flick a deft back heel beyond Robby McCrorie in goal. Jordan Thompson tried an audacious effort three minutes later as he decided to go alone from distance to curl the ball into the top corner. McCrorie was untroubled though as he collected high to his right. McCrorie, on loan at Berwick from Rangers’ Development Squad, then gifted Nemane a second for the visitors eight minutes before the turnaround. He misplaced his pass out from goal into the path of the 20-year-old and having come 12 or 13 yards off his line the keeper left Nemane an open goal to finish neatly into from 35 yards out. Notman came off to thunderous applause both on and off the pitch 10 minutes into the second-half as Jonatan Johnasson offered him a hand shake on his departure from the pitch. Both Herrera and Fabio Cardoso got an hour of game time in the Borders. Cardoso was playing his first game since breaking his nose in the League Cup semi-final a month ago. He had surgery on the break and just returned to contact training at the start of this week. Liam Kelly was starting his first game of the season having enjoyed two league winning runs out on loan over the past couple of season. He hadn’t had a lot to do but Watt troubled him into a snap save down to his left on 63 minutes. Keiran Stewart sent a cross from the right into the channel of space in front of the Gers keeper and Watt was there to try and sneak a header between post and keeper. Kelly was alert to the danger and made a good save. Atakayi had the Gers third of the evening with 18 minutes left to play when he broke through the Berwick defence to pull away from them at pace and take on McCrorie alone. He latched onto a lovely ball from sub Grant Nelson and darted away into the 18 yard box to look the stopper in the eye before cooly tapping into the bottom corner. Andrew Dallas could have added a fourth when he burst forward eight minutes from time to square up to McCrorie. The Auchenhowie product stayed big though as he came off his line to square up to the forward and he saved well at his feet to dispose the 18-year-old. Thompson did make sure Rangers left with four though with arguably the pick of the goals. The Northern Irish Under 21, on the left, drilled a shot low from the edge of the box inside the side netting leaving McCrorie no chance as it swirled at pace through a sea of men.
