Rousseau 10,820 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Very disappointed. It was slow, ponderous and without craft or guile. Our defence was no worse than usual, and I actually thought we got better as the game went on in open play -- corners are a different matter and we seem unable to defend properly at any ball lumped into the box. It was the attacking I was most concerned with: we only really created 2/3 chances during the whole game, which is simply not good enough. Like I said above, Hibs do what they always do: defend with 5 at the back and counter. Every man and his dog knows what they're going to do against us. Again, the most annoying thing is we cannot seem to deal with it. That Stokes fanboy Andy Walker was pissing me off praising the way they were playing and criticising our game. Yes, we did little with the ball, but try breaking down a team with 10 men behind the ball. Moreover, anyone team can break against 3 players (Kiernan, Wilson and Halliday) and carve a chance. Alas! We weren't good enough. It's as simply as that, and we didn't deserve it. We need more players for several positions. When the first-team is lacking, the replacements are non-existent. We need better quality, but it's options we need more than anything else. I don't know the details, but our fans shouldn't be trotting onto the pitch to 'square-up' to Hibs fans -- even if they are taunting and goading us. We lost, and we have to take it on the chin. If Rangers players were attacked, then it is a disgrace -- more evidence of the hatred directed at us. They will (should) be punished.

limeburner 0 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Foderingham had a nightmare and Miller was woeful bar his header for the goal. Zelalem was pretty much the only player to turn up today Miller was woeful ?Thats neither fair or true-----hes never been a great player,but he gave 100% today. I at least appreciated his effort and commitment(which was a lot more than most of our side,not all) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I amended it slightly, but I maintain we shouldn't be going onto the pitch. If Rangers fans/players were attacked, then it is a disgrace and I hope they will be punished severely. But, again, we shouldn't be stooping to their level. We're better than that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 My mother in law saying Gers fans attacked Cummings... True or not ? I can't see it given the number of Hibs fans on the pitch 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 RANGERS Football Club is shocked at the disgraceful behaviour of Hibs fans at full time. Rangers players and staff were assaulted by these fans who invaded the pitch and in the interests of their safety could not return to the pitch for the medal presentation. There can be no place for the violent behaviour witnessed at the end of the Final and Rangers fully expect the Scottish Football Association and Police Scotland to launch an investigation to find out where security measures failed. The Club would like to commend Rangers fans for the restraint they showed under severe provocation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,422 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Tbh I was making my way out when I seen one of them all over KM I had my neice and was next to dugout, I just got her out of there, still took us 15mins to get out. Rangers have called for police investigation. Players assaulted? Policing as a disgrace!! At Motherwell, and today, I got out as quickly as possible when I noticed fans running onto the pitch. I can be quite difficult though. Lots of Rangers supporters like to stop on the stairs and watch. Not sure why people want to do that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
