Rangers banter 8

29 Apr 2024 10:19:15
Do I think we will win the league no, do I think we will do a cup double 👍. Will we beat them at Parkhead, II can't really can't see it.

Thing is at Christmas we all agreed we needed a new team and nothing has changed except it's nearly May and in theory we can still win the league. So we keep pushing and hoping, that's all we can do, because no matter the formation or staff on the playing surface, we still need a new team. We can blame who ever or point the finger which I have done many a time but we are where are now. Which is 5 games left. Oh I believe Dessers will be here next year but Tav won't. 😁.

29 Apr 2024 11:07:10
Meant I can’t see us beating them at Parkhead.

29 apr 2024 11:41:30
big issue is the guys who know they are leaving, that's a massive thing imo, that will definitely affect the mentality, energy and commitment when the going gets tough, will lundstrum put a 2m per year contract at risk by stretching every sinue at parkhead and hampden?

he looks like he's going through the motions jus5 now imo.

29 Apr 2024 12:06:13
I think at xmas, almost everyone agreed we needed a ch and a striker to win the league.
Call us what you will but most on here were correct.

29 Apr 2024 12:07:37
He needs dropped as he's been dreadful and his attempts at shooting have been worse that a 3 year old. overhyped bang average at best player, no wonder the Sheffield United fans were glad to see the back of him, I'll be glad to see the back of him too!

29 Apr 2024 13:02:04
Bar72 perhaps your right, maybe the board didn’t want to take the gamble, maybe FFP played is part or just no cash. we definitely needed a forward and got Silva. Still there though in the mix.

“Call us what you will” 🤔.

29 Apr 2024 09:24:43
Lads I watched parts of the game yesterday. I am struggling to even watch a full game the now.

Yip I get we have injuries etc but what infuriates me is when are trying to play a formation with the players we have at our disposal out of position.

It's clear right right now that we can defend. Let's give more support upfront to Dessers. Every game I watch he's getting left up top himself. Same yesterday. 2 and 3 defenders on our one striker.

Our midfield don't have the legs to get close to him when he gets the ball. Cyril has to hold the play up and wait for runners. It's not going to happen.

If we Win or lose the League we have ANOTHER massive rebuilding job to do.

Id like to forget about loan deals. It's clear in thier contract that they must play a certain amount of games. Look at Silva for instance. Btw what did Phil see in him?

Can I see us beating them at Parkhead? No. And says a lot as they are terrible too.

Sorry lads but I have to be honest.

29 Apr 2024 10:08:48
Good points. Dessers at least tries and although he’s missed chances he’s still scoring goals. What did the manager see in Silva? Because all I can see him doing is diving. Sometimes I wonder what the manager is thinking all together? It’s all Dessers fault though. Everything. 🤣.

29 Apr 2024 10:15:44
So as is it fair to say you don’t rat pc, his select And tactics

Without loan dea. la rangers like like many clubs cannot satisfy financial rules.

29 Apr 2024 10:54:29
Azul, silva was a kloppen move.

29 Apr 2024 11:09:24
To me that’s the issue. Stop with the grandstand loan signings and bring ones that will bust a gut and a reality of keeping.

29 Apr 2024 11:45:48
Azul your the only poster on here that's said it's all dessers fault, strange!

29 apr 2024 11:49:37
imo, rangers should be switching to two up front and back again in certain games when required, like yesterday when dessers is struggling and the winger is wieful, get 2 in the box, to help dessers, then revert back, let the oppo figure you out, one of our major issues tho is the almost total lack of rubbishs from cantwell lundstrum and every other midfield player, shooting from middle creates chances for the striker from deflections, spillages, rebounds etc, we are awful at that and have been fir a while, pc has my full support for the future, but there's no doubt he has made serious mistakes recently, and silva absolutely must have an agreement to plat because he's just a joke figure after the embarrassment v hearts.

29 Apr 2024 11:50:35
Ok what did Kloppen see in silva then? I don’t think it’s all Dessers fault 🤣.

29 Apr 2024 12:11:47
He's pulling your leg BB3.

29 Apr 2024 12:14:12
@John227 I do rate Phil but why are we playing a formation which we don't have the players to fulfil?

Loan deals isn't the way to go. You can't built a squad with Loan players then they leave. Yes I get the financial restraints but it doesn't work imo.

When was the last loan player we had who set the heather on fire so to speak? Kent? .

29 Apr 2024 12:48:17
I think it is a system we r forced, far far too many players r not fit to play minutes, roofe classic example yesterday


Like your post as, especially the joke at the end.

29 Apr 2024 12:53:14
We need to structure our team based on the needs of an individual game and the opposition that we are facing. That probably means having a quality squad of 18 - 20 players, all of a similar standard to Butland. Not an easy ask and certainly not one that we could achieve without a couple of loan signings and a few Bosmans. Problem for me is that very few of our current squad would come anywhere close.

29 Apr 2024 13:24:39
@john 227 it's not the system we are forced to play at all. We should be playing a system based on the players at hand and the opponent.

Well back up a loaning signing who went on to be a success at our club after Kent? If you can then hats off.

29 Apr 2024 14:07:41
As Sima Cortes.

29 Apr 2024 14:17:15
Cortes in unproven. Sima I will get you. Will we sign him? Highly unlikely.

29 Apr 2024 18:11:17
As I don’t believe kent was a success. U r right re loans,

I’d say sima was a success re loan till injury, Cortes looked ok but we did not see enough to say he was a success.

29 Apr 2024 07:22:59
IMHO lads we have no real Rangers identity in our team now or in the last few years - our winning teams in past consisted of players/ managers who knew what it was to play for the jersey or support the team - Bomber, Souness, McLeish, Cooper, Ferguson, Greig, McCoist, Goram, Gough list goes on -what do you think McGregor instils in his players when they huddle before a game? - he doesn't want to lose to anyone he is not merely there for a wage or worrying which restaurant he will be seen at that night - he is very aware that 2nd is last in Glasgow and until we can get players who want to win at all costs I am afraid it will be same as same as!
PC please get a true Captain in who hates to lose and as has been done by Souness - get a spine to the team with leaders in defence midfield and attack - when going gets tough we shrink and hide and its a lot of the same serial losers who have this trait imo - when times were tough in past sometimes all it takes is to fire into a fair but tough tackle or chase a lost ball down and never give up and get the crowd on our side and to lead by example and not just blame or finger point - they will come at us like that at Parkhead and Hampden its how we react that f**ks me off - for desire and a hate to lose comes from within and am sorry to say that when we are at business end of season the usual so called leaders show no real fire or desire or hunger from within- they just look for someone to blame.
Yes we as a club maybe cannot afford the Billy Big name costly players who have this hunger and desire but there are players out there who will have that drive and who hate to lose so let's get scouting right and return our club to truly where it should be - I hate the fact that THEY are not a great side but by the way way we have folded and lost points against Mwell R Cty Dundee in times of need makes them look top dollar and look good - you get out of a game what you put in and in these games we never showed up and put the required effort in.
THEY are one of the poorer Celtic teams I have seen in last good few years so what does that truly say about us our desire and commitment to hunting them down and putting pressure on them - we have had our chances to stay on top and have shat the bed big time - We NEED to turn up against them both times in coming months at least to show the fans that we can compete and let's not crawl under the rock when going gets tough in these games - on to Killie game 1st - a MUST win at all costs🙏.

29 Apr 2024 08:34:43
They are not a good team, but we are worse!

For a team who had the league title there for the taking, we blew it big time. Honestly, we have been truly awful since be beat hearts, and we don't deserve to win anything. We are a team littered with cowards, with a mentality so frail, a feather could break it.

I'm going to say it again. Until we bin Tav as captain, rid the team of cowardly lightweight like Barisic and Goldson, we are never going to establish ourselves as winners. We have too many senior players in that team whose minds have been poised with continuous failure and mediocrity, and if we continue on with them, then failure is all we're ever going to achieve.

29 Apr 2024 08:40:00
Do you think the current players like losing? Cal Mac is a ranger fan lol.

29 Apr 2024 08:52:26
🤣🤣🤣 Still flogging a dead horse, Raskin!

29 Apr 2024 08:55:13
All the names you listed were Scottish, we lost that identity a while ago. Also playing football is not the draw it was 20 -30 years ago, and there are not that many young players who have playing for Rangers or Celtic for that matter top of their list when poor English teams can offer them riches to see them to their old age.

29 Apr 2024 09:09:27
We had McGregor, David, Jack, Arfield and still won hardly anything.

29 Apr 2024 09:56:29
That's true, MPH, but we could beat the tims (home and away)! Nowadays, we can't lay a glove on them, and scraped a draw at home.

29 Apr 2024 11:00:04
Raise, we've certainly blew it. 10 points dropped from the Motherwell game. Celtic were there for the taking this season.

29 Apr 2024 12:14:30
Spot on RTR Tav, Goldson definitely need to go, Lundstram and Borna probably already gone, there may well be a few more, who? Anybodies guess.

29 apr 2024 13:07:55
spot on as per mark

if we dint win there has to be a reason this team collapsed over a 3 or 4 week period, , did pc tell some they wouldn't be here, did lundstrum, goldson et al have arrangements made fir next season?

I've not heard of one celtic player being told he's gone, or any talk about players leaving

its a daily occurance here, how many have been packing while playing fir a title?

29 Apr 2024 14:19:33
Do we know for definite that he told players they can go, or is it just guesswork or an excuse as to why we sre pants?

29 Apr 2024 06:07:54
Lammers seems to have found his game in holland, from what i have been told he loved his time in glasgow but was not preforming as he was being played out of possition out wide and since moving to Holland he has been playing as a lone striker and scoring goals.

Its a shame he was never played as a striker for us cause who knows how many he would have scored.

29 Apr 2024 08:00:17
Scottish game is bit rough for some players that move here .

29 Apr 2024 12:16:06
We won't know how he would've done at C/ F, as he never got a chance to show us.

28 Apr 2024 21:37:49
Some great last ditch tackles from balogun today. Also poor effort from silva and positional sense to shut the cross down ultimately it was very poor from balogun and cost us the goal. Will goldson be back in next game?

28 Apr 2024 22:15:45
soutter should be dropped.

28 Apr 2024 22:51:31
Oh how we love to put the boot in when the chips are down. If we re build and don’t win league next season whose fault will that be?

29 apr 2024 00:58:51
itl be the manager and players fault azul

who the hells fault did you think it would be.

29 Apr 2024 01:46:38
Need to build a team round diamante love to see what he could do if he had a few footballers round him.

29 Apr 2024 02:06:01
Sterling ain't the answer for RM or RB cannot cross or anything he's a close down tackle win the ball move on rice style, us without the ball player lundstrum move over n on.

29 Apr 2024 05:15:39
I agree Herewego 👍we need to get dujon sterling in the midfield engine room and what a difference that would make to our midfield alone 👌.

29 Apr 2024 07:18:57
Agree about rw/ rm and would like to see him cm.

29 Apr 2024 09:28:45
Herewego he’s played RB once for us yes he struggles at LB as it’s not his position give him a run at RB before judging whether he’s good enough to be our RB.

29 Apr 2024 10:15:11
Yeah Tom Thumb you’re spot on, it will be the managers. That’s who I think it will be 🤣.

29 Apr 2024 11:16:43
G4 when he's played mid it was the position he excelled in. He could very well be getting a permanent placement next season there. I feel we need someone with a bit of precision passing/ crossing if and when Tav moves on. (Injuries everywhere else on the pitch permitting lol)

29 Apr 2024 12:18:42
Sterling for R/ B, the position he was bought for, aye he's gd in M/ F no doubt, but Tav needs dropped because he's been gash defensively.

28 Apr 2024 20:33:55
Coops, from a position of strength we've caved in and handed it to them on a plate. We're now relying on others doing us a favour. I'll carry on supporting but I've lost belief in this team. No one on that pitch to galvanise them, instill a bit bite in them. We are running out of seasons.

29 Apr 2024 03:18:03
Parlane a totally understand am starting to question wots going on.
Really hope the manager is liein about keeping some of theses players cause it's the end of the season, no new deals balogun for emergencies maybe. So many years without wingers Cortez looked no bad didn't lose the ball much in took people on, wots the manager saying to that defence so many players doing the same rubbish they have done for last five year odd, apart from lundstrum hitting a few shots did he make a tackle. am drunk haha fook it.

29 Apr 2024 08:21:33
Herewego, lundstrum did have a couple of shots, but why on earth does he think every shot he hits needs to be hit with every bit of power he can muster? His shooting is some of the worst i have ever seen, the guy doesn't know the meaning of placing the ball with accuracy, that's why the ball ends up out the stadium most times, school boy stuff. We need rid.

29 apr 2024 13:12:14
awful shootist, and i have my doubts about his mentality, and commitment bb.

29 Apr 2024 14:21:53
"Shootist" big John Wayne fan Tom? Gd film 😉.

28 Apr 2024 19:39:52
Evening all, wasn't pretty didn't need to be as its 3 points. I may get shot down for this suggestion. but I would be looking at Gogic. reminds me of a petric type defender. loves to defend, aggressive in the tackle proven in Scotland, lots of desire strong and defends as if his life depends on it.

Next up Killie. Hopefully another 3 points.

28 Apr 2024 21:36:26
Shot down in a hail of bullets mate lol.

28 Apr 2024 22:18:09
he couldn't handle pressure of hibs what's he going to be like at biggest club in the country.

28 Apr 2024 22:26:29
Gogic had a decent game today, but the reality is he’s absolutely torture and nowhere near the level required.

29 Apr 2024 02:24:47
I saw this guy a few times playing for Hamilton Accies and he was awful. Now aged 30 he has a decent game against us and someone wants us to sign him! Seems some of our fans have no ambition to improve.

29 Apr 2024 08:49:58
Happens all the time hubby, someone plays a decent game against us and it's get him signed, when in reality he's a very poor player.

29 Apr 2024 09:45:47
He had a good game but on another day those blatant blocks he was doing would be punished, one on Dessers that he got booked and foul given for at end of game was identical to silva one in the box and few others throughout the game.

29 Apr 2024 11:26:23
He's definitely the type of player and they are out there, but it's finding them, seems to be we could do with someone scouring these untapped or even seldom touched European leagues. On that thought it could be already happening when you look at the likes of Jefte, I know his roots are in South America though but we could be looking already! Diomonde was brought in from nowhere, I would like a few of those £500k gems every other team seems to find.

29 apr 2024 13:14:44
nothing to do with signing him hubby, i said he's the type rangers have been missing fir years

i then said i would have him at ibrox tomorrow, that was tongue in cheek because we seriously need a fighter in our team, , i get that he doesn't have the quality, but what a fighter.
