Personally if we were well ahead and the league was halted I would tell the authorities to stick it up their arses.

Because you understand the integral role that fair play, and honor have in sports. Those corrupt, douche bags don't.

All joking aside, if you swap us and them there is no way the league would have been halted as it was, certainty 

Agree 100%.

Baffling indeed.

Possession: Rangers 74% - St Mirren 26%
Shots: Rangers 28 - St Mirren 4
Shots on target: Rangers 12 - St Mirren 2
Corners: Rangers 14 - St Mirren 1

What sort of stats would good require?

Routine win, decent performance, I will take 36 more like it.

 

I think some of the criticism of our performance is that we had our usual periods in the match where it went quite flat. Personally I think that is partly down to Us still not getting into top gear yet but Far more to do with the empty stadium.

 

Football is a passionate game that has only evolved due to the numbers of fans paying to attend and watch matches. Football without fans is not right. If fans are not allowed to attend due to a global pandemic, there should be no football matches being played at all.

Strange how you can go to the pub for a pint or go for a meal, go shopping, get on a bus/train yet football fans can't get to attend matches in an open stadium?.

I might just be getting old and senile in my 54 years , but even way back under Walter I can never remember teams being quite so negative , in that they didn’t cross the half way line and were happy with that , as they are now , at one point in the first half there were 21 players in St Mirrens half , and 15 in their box , only 3 of their players were outside the box .

The more often it doesn't work the more likely it is to change.

It has to be detrimental for the entire Scottish game. Last week we played away at the sheep. A side who have pretensions of being contenders, are playing at home, and doing pretty much exactly what the minnows do at Ibrox. It's pathetic.
