Rangers banter 8

It wasn't the best performance.
But after a horrendous couple of weeks the win is all that matters.
Another chance to win a trophy this season.
Something we've all moaned about. Not winning enough domestic trophies.
Yes, the league is the main one but if we aren't winning that we need to be picking up Cups.
Great to see Dessers get a couple.
I was critical of the resigning of Balogun. But to be fair he was solid at the back.
And tactically I thought Clement was back to his best. 🔴⚪️🔵.

22 Apr 2024 06:53:08
TBH i thought it was a good, comfortable performance by us yesterday 🤔From the very start i thought we had much more energy and urgency within our ranks before dropping off a wee bit after 25minutes 🤔We then picked it up again and ran out comfortable winners and big dessers could have scored 5 yesterday. Thought butland,
tav, sterling, balogun, dio, cantwell and dessers all played well yesterday, with cantwell my motm👌🇬🇧.

22 Apr 2024 07:22:24
Great result after the last two calamitous matches - we stifled Hearts but apart from a few Souttar wobbles we looked ok at back - only concern is our wing play which was again lacking - just shows how much Cortes is missed ( direct running with pace) - Matondo again looked caught in headlights on occasion and you could see that PC was annoyed with him not being direct when man was there to take on - no point having blistering pace and not using it! - got to say the boy has never played well when starting - gut feeling is he is an impact sub at most.

Even McCausland looked for easy passes rather than committing his man (but hopefully that's just down to his recent injury and lack of fitness) Its one area where Celtic give us headaches in pacey direct wing play and an area where we need improvement if we want to kill off teams.

Great to have a final to look forward to - but this is time to turn up and show than we CAN beat them👍.

22 Apr 2024 07:55:44
It was a better performance than what we have been delivering in the league, recently, but that wouldn't be hard. Balogun and Dessers were the standouts, with Diomonde playing his part.

Even though we won, the usual suspects do what they always do, and start to get carried away. A cup semi, at Hampden, against a team we regularly, and comfortably beat, is a total different ball game (pardon the pun) to playing them away in the league. Some can't help themselves!

22 Apr 2024 08:03:57
We certainly weren’t at our best but in the breath I never thought we were in danger of not winning.

I hope the squad take a bit of a confidence boost into the final league games and now the final.

22 Apr 2024 08:46:56
I agree with that SWS OBE.
I felt we controlled the match in the most part.
We can now concentrate on 5 cup finals in the league before the Scottish Cup Final.
The League’s a marathon and we’re entering the home straight faze so let’s kick the legs and hope that they blink next.

22 Apr 2024 09:00:22
I never thought we looked like losing because Hearts were terrible, Dado.

22 Apr 2024 09:39:11
I’m sure nobody’s getting carried away Raisetheroofe.
Nobody said winning the league was going to be easy from my recollection.
We never won 56 league titles loosing heart when the going got tough though.

22 Apr 2024 10:01:00
Yeah fair point MPH.

22 Apr 2024 10:14:33
CO2 i did, because the football we were playing was improving up until the start of February and never seen us only talking 2 points out of 9 the three previous league games, but if we can win the last six games we win the treble.

22 Apr 2024 10:41:09
Fair play, My Star, holding your hands up. Oh, and by the way, you weren't the only one.

22 Apr 2024 10:44:32
My star, 6 wins is a big ask. 2 of those wins need to be against a Celtic team we haven't beaten all season.

22 Apr 2024 10:53:11
We also need to improve our GD MyStar or we are relying on others talking more points off Celtic.
Can we do it?
Course we can. Until the table tells us differently.

22 Apr 2024 11:00:25
Yesterday showed me 2 wingers this summer and imo matondo won't do McCausland shows promise but needs to add more.

22 Apr 2024 11:44:56
Every goal we score against them in the league will count double.

22 Apr 2024 12:15:27
Fair enough my star.
I knew you were super confident but couldn’t recall you stating it would be easy which was my point.
I do admire your confidence though.

22 Apr 2024 12:25:59
Good point Seeker.
3-0 win and match their other results and we are Champions 🥳🔴⚪️🔵🥳
The Treble is on!

22 apr 2024 13:21:46
young ross was much much better than he has been recently imo.

22 Apr 2024 06:35:28
Well a good result yesterday after a very disappointing week and that's putting it mildly, let's hope we can kick on now and win all remaining games, I for one don't believe the leagues over just as I stated when beale left the club, will it be difficult? Absolutely but if we can put on a real show and beat them at Celtic park it will throw the cat amongst the pigeons and hopefully they panic, it's very disappointing that we have blew so many points of late, motherwell was bad but Dundee and Ross county was especially frustrating, but in all honesty we didn't deserve to win we were far too negative and lethargic, really need to get behind the team and hope they repay us with a winning run to glory, as big mar said " keep believing ".

22 Apr 2024 00:17:08
Diamonde comes back, we win. simples.

22 Apr 2024 07:53:13
He was playing against them a few weeks past and we never won. How do you explain that?

22 Apr 2024 09:50:55
Sorry I don't believe it's that simple I find it a strange post.

22 Apr 2024 12:20:38
First game against them can be a shock, I just mean we missed him.

22 apr 2024 13:23:09
if only, i felt he was quiet but had nice touches,

22 Apr 2024 09:16:06
Not buying this one, I'm sure he played in the Motherwell. The biggest difference was Balogun playing because he covered Soutter who was woeful again.

21 Apr 2024 21:43:14
A great result after a shocking week. Into another final, hopefully a huge confidence boost, goals for Dessers, a clean sheet with Balogun back in, a top performance from Todd. Not getting carried away but they are in no great shape either so hopefully a few more twists in the title race still to come and we can snatch things back.

21 apr 2024 22:07:33
anyone think silva should be chased back to wolves asap after that despicable attempt to cheat, he thought someone was right behind him and went down like a fairy falling off a xmas tree, after that i felt embarrassed that he is wearing a rangers jersey

anyone thinking otherwise, have another look, soon as it happened both my pals and i just stopped and looked at each other, none of us had ever seen a more embarrassing attempt to cheat, surely the club will chase him after that.

21 apr 2024 22:32:30
we shouldn't get carried away mate because we haven't beaten celtic in a meaningful game for a long time, today was a good result, not a great performance from either team, but we worked hard here and git the rewards, I'm still struggling with silvas pathetic dive so i havnt watched it all again, to me balogun and cantwell played well.

21 Apr 2024 22:41:04
To be fair to Silva I just thought he got his feet all wrong I don’t think there was any attempt to con the ref, just a stumble.

22 Apr 2024 00:06:44
Why dive two feet from an open goal, a think he fell over his own feet to be fair, am not wearing a dive.

22 apr 2024 00:16:22
never in a million years was that not a pathetic dive, rarely will you see someone catching they're studs and going diwn with their hands in the air and knees up

embarrassing and disgraceful, i had big hopes for him after b3nfica away

boys a cheat and i don't want him in a gers team.

22 Apr 2024 05:03:45
I would need to watch it again as I didn’t think it was a dive.

22 Apr 2024 06:07:06
Was never a dive he got his feet all wrong.

22 Apr 2024 06:22:51
Aye right, hold on I'll just dive n not let the ball hit off me for a goal, ! people never happy, the guy fell fcs.

22 Apr 2024 06:36:15
Ball was slightly behind him and tripped over his own feet trying to adjust.
We won. We move on.

22 Apr 2024 06:38:17
Sorry Tom, I ignored your comment when you posted it the first time, think you've got this one wrong.

22 Apr 2024 06:58:52
From my view in the west stand it honestly looked to me like silva got his feet all wrong and fell over because of it 🤔 Haven't watched it back on tv yet.

22 Apr 2024 07:38:54
Dive or not he's been a huge disappointment overall. Not worth whatever wolves want or massive wages he's bound to be on.

22 Apr 2024 07:47:50
As much as I think he is a cheat, that wasn't a dive yesterday, Tom. The ball was slightly behind him, but if he was any good, he would have still scored and not made an arse of himself.

22 Apr 2024 07:55:43
Didn’t hear complaints when he won the pen vs Celtic.

22 Apr 2024 08:51:42
Hes been awful. Bar 1 half decent showing v benfica.

22 Apr 2024 09:04:18
Gofor what has the Celtic one got to do with yesterday.

22 Apr 2024 09:03:35
I just watched it again and I 100% agree with Tom now he dived I thought his feet got tangled together but they didn’t it was a disgrace of a dive.

22 Apr 2024 10:06:37
Watched it back a few times, Tom is bang on the boy took a 100% dive.

22 Apr 2024 10:46:40
Thank God we couldn't afford to buy him.

22 Apr 2024 11:00:00
I was watching it on vipbox stream so not the best picture. I'll watch it again, and if I'm wrong, apologies Tom.

22 apr 2024 13:28:54
the worst attempt at cheating i thonk i ever saw

i didn't say that lightly, nobody trips over their feet and throws they're arms up in the air and throws themself firward

its beyond belief there's actually some folk here who think he didn't cheat, just unbelievable, like i said, worst i can ever remember myself

jfm, your titally wrong

moh, move on, is it ok just fir you to commemt then, and you couldn't be more wrong either.

22 apr 2024 13:34:10
thank you storm, bb it was pathetic,

gofir, yet more no sense, the old firm one was a penalty, even tho he was in the process of yet another dive.

22 apr 2024 13:43:51
and why not fork, alfie did.

21 Apr 2024 21:32:42
Guys given the midfield is so important when we play the other mob what's the diff between 433 they play and our 4231? Does our formation give up a man in the middle.

21 Apr 2024 22:34:47
433 midfield more forward 4321 midfield used more defence in my opinion.

21 Apr 2024 22:52:59
Get your point onewalter but for me shape etc goes for nothing without the right intensity and aggression. That's what we lack against them right in their faces first to every ball that's how you dominate the play. The team that wins the battle is the one who applies themselves properly. We need massive performance from everyone to get the win at the piggery we are capable but will we show that ferocity that's required.

22 Apr 2024 07:42:48
Jz - Correct- intensity for full match helps win games as was shown by Ross County against us - Killie and Motherwell too - work rate and effort is paramount for any team to win games and tbh there are good few matches where we have failed in this stat - if we do this at Parkhead we have a fighting chance - sit back and watch/ let teams play and we will be picked off - simple as that!

22 Apr 2024 07:51:39
We quite simply have to show high intensity and hunger being in their faces from the off at breezeblock boulevard or no league title, simple as fellow bears 🤔 Undoubtedly we're capable imo 🤔.

22 Apr 2024 07:57:06
Totally agree J-zer it’s all attitude for me the lazy approach to some games not being switched on from first second.

21 Apr 2024 21:11:17
Watched all the games today,
Pressure plays a part
Our game, hats off to PC to drop Goldson
Why was Balogun right, left footed
Souttar left, right footed
Magician or what, have to agree with KT Balogun motm old fashioned ch gets stuck in.
Observation, a while ago it was mentioned that Barasic and Goldson didn't get on seemed different today sitting next to each other talking away.
Feel more comfortable with the games ahead very strong squad.

21 apr 2024 22:10:21
some people become friends again mate,

just like on here.

21 Apr 2024 22:19:07
Balogun is right footed the same as Souttar.

21 Apr 2024 22:46:47
Maybe they have settled their differences.

22 Apr 2024 07:28:26
That was way back when Katie was still there eggs long time to get over it.

22 Apr 2024 11:48:11
I believe they had a problem a while ago, but has been settled for ages now. All good.

21 Apr 2024 20:47:45
I see dessers still getting it in the neck of a few on here he is the reason we are in the final his two goals. Is he what’s needed going forward next season no everyone agrees with that but he is the best we have at the moment. Scores two people want 5 🤯 no striker scores every chance. We win 2-0 and in another final and some still not happy. I think if we manage to win the league some fans still wouldn’t be happy 🫢.

21 Apr 2024 22:22:07
Spot on Storm, big guy gets it stinking on here, he should be getting all the plaudits for today, along with a few that seemed more on it today, balogun, cantwell a few others and dare I say it, tav played well.

22 Apr 2024 05:05:16
Correct fork no matter what the guy does it will never be enough for some.

22 Apr 2024 06:08:52
He needs replaced ASAP but yesterday was his best all round performance and thoroughly deserves credit for that.

22 Apr 2024 07:05:32
I agree with you storm, even coming out of Hampden yesterday some supporters just never happy mate!
Credit where credit is due, yes, dessers probably should have scored 5 but his double put us in the Scottish cup final and a very well done for that to the big fella 👌🇬🇧.

22 Apr 2024 08:13:45
If he scores against the mhanks in the final, then i might change my mind. We need players to turn up every game.

22 Apr 2024 08:32:48
Was Danilo not starting ahead of him before injury? I agree dessers has done well to turn things around but he’s still not scored against Celtic.

Performances could be better 13 goals in league is hardly great for a rangers forward just that our standards have been so low for so long now

Still think Clement will want a top striker signed and dessers could find himself third
New forward
Danillo?
Dessers.

22 Apr 2024 11:49:46
The big guy did well with 2 great finishes. Seems like a top guy and I desperately want him to do well.
