I thought Simms won the vast majority of challenges with either Goldson or Balogun. Hard running with robust strength goes a long way in the Scottish game. If Everton do not renew his contract, I think he is worth a punt? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 6,119 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Along with two mates, we sat -stood in Row A of the North Stand yesterday. A trio of lower to mid-sixties blokes eight or nine seats from the divide between the Rangers and Hearts supports. We had NO interaction, most of the supports immediately surrounding us were older guys, women and, several children. After Ryan Jack's screamer, my mate was hit on the head by a stainless steel Vaping pipe. This was a solid several inch long object. We retrieved it from the open couple of yards of concrete immediately in front of our seats but, before the retaining wall. A lady behind saw who threw the object and we reported it to the Police Officer at the front of the dividing line. The Officer refused to take action and, we demanded her superior officer hear our complaint. He took several minutes to arrive and was equally dismissive. Of course, the discussion quickly reduced to Police Scotland's zeal for ensuring young supporters receive a criminal record for singing songs but, not wanting to report an action of thuggery. Meanwhile, the lad in his mid-30s that threw the object was intent upon constant gesticulation. The male Sgt accompanying the female Inspector concluded any reaction from our grouping would result in Police action. A couple of minutes later, the Referee blew the final whistle and the Jambos turned to tramp back up the terrace stairs. One remained with his arm and finger outstretched. We held up the vape pipe, pointed at him and sang, 'Dirty Vapish Bastard'. The female Inspector laughed, her Sgt had serious facial issues. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,424 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I was also sat in the North stand but thankfully I was far enough from the Hearts supporters. No risk of flying objects for me. It wasn't all plain sailing though. Early on in the match I heard some deeply offensive language emanating from somewhere further back. Initially the fellow in question was urging Rangers to 'recycle it'. Then as the match developed I heard repeated reference to 'big Shirley'. Shameful scenes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I take it posters are joking about wanting Simms? He's an awful footballer - does nothing but put his weight about. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely the wrong direction for Rangers I'm not suggesting he'd replace Morelos, but by many accounts he's been one of the best players in the league this season. He'd be an ideal target man; he's really powerful - he won everything yesterday - for only 21 years old. It's a type of player we don't have. I'd much rather snap him up on a free than get Gilmour on loan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,172 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Simms was fine as a disruptor for twenty minutes. Did he not run out of steam? Or was it lack of support? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not comparing apples with apples. Simms is a "target-man" whilst Gilmour a playmaker. I don't think he won everything yesterday. He was effective for first 30mins or so then was barely noticeable after that. Also managed to miss an open goal from a a few yards out.
