Stark admission 

 

Drop those who aren't trying a leg and play youngsters.

 

Ah, the play the youngsters card so we can crucify them when things inevitably go wrong.

 

Which youngsters are we specifically meaning here and how many times have you seen them play and what can they bring to the team?

This current Rangers team is right up there as one of the worst I have witnessed in my 41 years on this planet.

I think you're all forgetting something. 

 

I just missed out on a Correct Score in the GPL. 

 

I'm running out of games to catch BD !!

Oh it can - it can make you strong on the ball (just think Bassey and Aribo), and can make you faster than your opponent.

 

The squads fitness is a disgrace and was something the Belgian Waffle said he'd address  - in retrospect he's made it worse (like a lot of things).

 

BF will carry the blame for limping to the end of the season with an unfit squad of players who've been conditioned to being 2nd. 

 

We sacked Clement (rightly) but due to the impending takeover were unable to appoint a permanent manager, so the board done what the do best, went for the easy option. 

 

Until we appoint a board and footballing structure who can get us fit, hungry and have a winning mentality/desire we'll continue to struggle.

 

This board conditioned us to be 2nd best and some of us bought it. Getting exactly what we deserve. 

 

I agree to a point Cammy no doubt about it that science and technology may aid in certain aspects of the new footballer of today, Prime example of why I will take old school footballers any day is there wasn’t any bull shit similar   to my day in the Army early 00’s when you went on a Run or a TAB /CFT and showed  any sort of lack of effort you got beasted, One Golf club one Golf ball open field and need I say the rest 🤣 If you were lucky and the Cpl would have a bad day and slice it you would be away in the first seconds but you didn’t show lack of effort or desire again, I think todays footballers are pampered and every knock or strain is seen as a precautionary measure  which makes them soft and come under a false sense of safety thinking there careers will be some how ok, sure times have changed and we must change with it etc but come on Ripping socks to aid the calf injuries or Jude Bellingham has his socks ripped every game and the club pays the fine every time it’s done 🤣. How many injuries were there in the old days and how many were out for long periods baring in mind the balls and the surfaces and boots they had back then to today’s modern dynamic football was 100x worse. New approach is needed and fast to establish a better atmosphere within our club and what standards need to be maintained,  I hope this new investment group can instal that in the club like it’s showing they are doing at Leeds with being ruthless and calling out the ones who don’t put in the effort and desire we as fans expect and deserve for our continued support , let’s hope the other  49% of our board  also acknowledges this radical change is needed.

And that is why you will never be manager of Rangers.

Not for me, 1982 until Souness took over was far, far worse.

I was actually thinking when you 🤞 you were getting there but unfortunately as Barry said the team never took his instructions so what’s the point or points in this case 🤣

This current team reached the last 8 of the EL. It’s the performances in the domestic league which are the problem

I think under SG and Gio to an extent we showed that modern day footballers can be fit, strong and relentless.

 

As an example we defeated Celtic in extra-time straight after playing extra-time in an Europen game. Then defeated Hearts after extra-time in the final.

 

The invincible 55 title win where we simply blew teams away. So much so, the odd draw seemed like a defeat. 

 

The players were mentally and physically fit, played a system that worked against Celtic and also against the rest of the league.

 

We are a shadow of that team / squad.
