Hi Guys, been away for a bit but delighted to be back. Had a severe case of being terrified of men in comfortable shoes, but I appear to be over it now.

 

But I see things are still going as normal. Likewise, up to the Ibrox OF game Murty did admirably......wow

Well, he won enough games on the trott to make the whole season interesting again, had he won that game. That is, given the players and circumstances, admirably.

Welcome back DT.

 

Since you have been away Rangers have won.... nothing.  Your return can only be a good omen

Thanks. I am not sure re any omens, I had the pleasure of Pete's company for a few games during the interim period.  I think we lost them all

Fair enough, all about opinions. Imo, he blew it in the 6 weeks and it was never interesting. Next you will say if he had beaten the mighty Hamilton & St J at Ibrox we may have prevailed. Or would the early Dundee debacle have been the key to de-railing him?

 

Out of interest, which game do you refer to 'had he won that game'? Every thrashing at the hands of his bhoyhood favourites?

27th December Rangers 2 - Motherwell 0
30th December Celtic 0 - Rangers 0

WINTER BREAK

24th January Rangers 2 - Aberdeen 0
28th January Ross county 1 - Rangers 2
3rd February Rangers 1 - Hibs 2
6th February Partick 0 - rangers 2
18th February Hamilton 3 - Rangers 5
24th February Rangers 2 - Hearts 0
27th February St Johnstone 1 - Rangers 4

 

Nine consecutive matches in which we played everyone in the league aside from Kilmarnock and Dundee. In those 9 matches 7 wins 1 draw 1 defeat taking 22 from a possible 27 points for an average of 2.44 points per game. 

 

Extrapolate that 2.44 points per game over the current 35 games played and we would be on 85 points and be champions if we take 3 points on Saturday.  That's the best run we have had since returning to the SPL and as pointed out is title winning form if maintained over a season.

The Old Firm game at Ibrox, when the Scum brought on a 4.5m rated player who showed all his  class to sink us with their third goal. Winning that game, when we were relatively high on confidence, would have brought us within 6 points or the like. That said, you seem to have a rather reserved opinion on that anyway, so probably no need to get into that any further. It's history now ...

Okay, so a hand picked, massive, 9 game run in a season - aside from Killie and Dundee - and we are virtual, extrpolated league winners with Murty as the man.  Good we avoided the mighty Killie in that pre-extrapolation 9 games btw.  

 

Unfortunately, we have to play a 38 game season, no hand picking or extrapolation allowed, and the buggers count the score in all of them all.   

 

Title winning form from Murty indeed, hilarious if it was not so sad.

You have a curious way to spin your arguments. All that was said that Murty had a steady run ahead of the OF game. No-one is actually saying he's THE man for the job. No-one could have predicted the fallout after the Ibrox OF game though.
