From BBC website, that cannot be correct.

Who cares....only one stat that matters today.?

We conceded a lot of possession after the early goal.

 

We did this because we knew we could control them.

They'll hate to admit it, but our win today has taken the shine off their league title.

6 wins on the spin has come too late in the season to matter much, but given it is so long since we found this level of consistency, I am absolutely delighted that perhaps the penny is finally dropping amongst the players and coaches of what it means to represent our club.

 

Make it 7 to end the season next week and we can try to take the momentum into next season. The Killie game will be tough as Killie have everything to play for and we are going to make changes (per SG post-match interview) so squad players will get their chance to prove they are worthy of being included next season.

Yeah, looks like we will not be firing on all cylinders next week.

 

Hopefully we can still grab a win.  It would be a great way to finish the season before finishing the job next season.

Just watching the second goal again, watch it from 62:32 on Sky clock, loose ball on halfway line comes to Broon, who under pressure gets his simple 3 yard pass intercepted by Arfield who plays a simple 5 yard square pass to Kamara, who plays a neat 1-2 with Kent, sells a dummy to Burke and plays a 1-2 with Flanagan, he feels Broon coming in and feigns to go one way and goes the other leaving the most overrated player in Scottish football history for dead, drives forward with Broon still wondering where he went, and plays a ball into feet for Defoe who has the new Caesar tight on him, so Defoe (I’m guessing after a shout from Arfield) let’s it run through his legs and into the box where Arfield runs past the despairing wonder kid Ajer and coolly slots it in the corner to seal the win.

 

A simply stunning goal.

Thought we did all the hard work well today: pressing, winning 2nd balls etc (which ultimately wins OF games for me). Our passing was a wee bit off tbh and if we had a wee bit more quality in the killer areas we could have murdered them today. They were truly garbage. 2-0 is great score in any OF game. Well done Rangers

Jonny Hayes has had a tough day.

She can’t dB, ref gave a yellow as he seen it.

I know that. But similar "seen" incidents did not thwart the CO to take action. As we had with McGregor's first ban ...

 

 

Can`t remember just now whether McGregor was booked, but "unseen and not booked" was the thing which brought the CO on the table.

 

With her shadowy court in place and virtually no transparency, they can make up rules as they go along.

[der Berliner 3,747]

BTW, we do remember when TLB was hit by a coin on the chest and went down poleaxed and held his face?

 

It seems his outfield puppet master has learned well from him.

 

 

Flangan gave him a shove at breast height and Brown goes down simulating an attack on his face. THAT should be something the CO should look at.

He was left alone with no-one near him all the first half as he was so Sh**te.

Great win today over the club that spent millions on one player whereas our team cost only a fraction of that.

Looking so much to next season that I don't care how we do on the plastic nightmare next week other than keep fingers crossed we don't lose any one to injury.
