Is it not just a one off guest role. Marvin andrews was on the other week..

 

According to Tom Miller, the next game is against Dumbarton with Peter Lovenkrands.

To be fair to Dave Smith, he has not been afraid to mention how poor we were last year, commenting how many players we used to have in the box and the lack of passing. I also like the fact that he said how much he dislikes supporters applauding defenders who don't attempt to retain possession. The delivery is poor though.

I get what you are saying about his delivery but I have to say his honesty is very refreshing. No undue praise or flowery language. No needless attempts at comedy. I liked him.

I watched the game via a link to Rangers TV and agree the production is pretty poor. However, to watch Rangers live whilst seated on a Cape Cod deck is a wonderment. Listening to Tom Miller giving shout-outs to service lads watching live in Afghanistan, Cyprus, and Belize is incredible. My professional days ended 20 years past, and the lengths I would go to, to access the World Service in Oman, Borneo, Hong Kong, ....... etc to find out the Rangers result!

 

Anyways, the game itself; I thought we lacked both tempo and intensity. We appeared quite narrow too, but that might have been Livi funneling our penetration into central areas. They doubled up on both flanks when we were in possession. It might be we will get the wee bit extra space and width away from home, as there is more of an expectation from a home crowd to see their favourites go forward?

First time I've ever seen a team wasting time at 2-0 down in a domestic league game with 30 or 40 minutes still to play.

Their keeper took an eternity to take byekicks

 

It was pretty embarrassing and his distribution from goal kicks was pathetic

Their constant fouling and the ref turning a blind eye for the most part played a big part in the quality of the game. Been quite a few tackles this season that have warranted red cards but have went unchecked by the match officials.

 

I wont be surprised if one of our players ends up with a career threatening injury in the near future.

Just watched the Manager's post match interview and he wasn't happy at all with the performance. Sounds like the players weren't either. Good.

 

An "inquest" after a lacklustre 3:0 home win is a very positive sign IMO.

Their keeper had 8 kick outs on the trot that went straight through to big Wes , talk about route 1

I don't mean any disrespect to Dave Smith but he's a really poor co-commentator.

 

To be fair he'd be the first to admit that, was as nervous as f*&k before the game.

Think yourself lucky you only had to endure 90 minutes of him I had to suffer 5 bloody hours of him today!.....

[forlanssister 3,114]

A sign of how far we've come in a short time, a 3-0 win which was never in doubt and we're all feeling a bit disappointed!

I don't think I've ever seen a team play to such an extreme the way Livingston did today whereby their gameplan was simply to get eleven men behind the ball when we were in possession and hit on the break whenever possible.
