Bauld Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Can we now end the rangers love in? All those who think "Rangers will win the league because they are rangers" Rangers are rank as ****. They will win more games than they lose but we are stronger in every part of the pitch. Boyd, Miller, Daly are done. McCulloch done Moshni pish McGregor pish Peralta pish Its a myth that has died and it died 2 years ago. People need to let go of what is now the past. They are nothing but ordinary until such a time as they recieve heavy investment but it is now too late for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'best' team gets decided over the course of a season and it wins the league and the outcome is never wrong. If we continue the 'form' to Christmas and beyond we'll be a long way ahead and barring a total collapse we will end up as the proven best team and of course, the champions. We have made a great start. Other results are habitually going for us and we are looking very good. But this has to be worked for for a good few months yet before it turns into the stroll that many think it is already. Feet on the ground. No complacency. No mistakes. No holding back. No feet off the gas. Professional execution of matches week after week. Anything else and they will come back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'll never discount an opponent until the job is done but Rangers are truly woeful. Devoid of creativity or know how against a bit organisation and fight from a rival. Two or three nothing passes then a launch forward time and time again. You can't always avoid an odd long ball but it seemed like their only option. Truly poor stuff and long may it continue. Severely exposed for pace at the back on the counter too.

I also think that with the experience of Levein up the stairs there will be no complacency. We have a pool of players so rotation is always possible(barring a host of injuries) This will keep a freshness and competitive feel about the place. Lastly we should potray a superior attitude and confidence to others. We're certainly good enough to win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All true, but still there are only two teams in this league who won't shit it against them when the chips are down and even an average performance will usually get them the points. They are good enough to win quite a lot of games in this league. Livingston and others are seriously poor teams. We just have to keep our eye on the ball and consistently beat these teams, because Rangers will more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, lessons from the past I suppose but it's not being negative to use it as an example like you have. It's called experience. There's a balance to everything and while you have to have full belief in yourself you also have to be wary of complacency. As we all know football can turn quickly if you let the focus slip. Rangers are poor but they'll come back fighting, however it might still not be enough. But let's not assume that, we just need to keep believing in ourselves ,playing with the same level of application and desire and I'm confident we'll be well in the mix for the title come the last dozen matches.

If we play with that level of desire and application for another 15 games or so and get the results to match, you just can't see that Rangers team, or anyone else, having the consistency to keep pace with us. 13 wins from 15 we are more than capable of.(on current form etc) Getting ahead of myself and advising caution in the same breath but a run like that would see us getting on for 20 points ahead and no one is going to close that kind of gap. As I said though. No one is going to hand us games on a silver platter. We will have to work VERY hard for it, as we have been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the squad though it would take a horrifically long injury list to hurt us.

Gizmo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Tonight's game showed in essence that Rangers are a team who made the step up and Hibs the drop down. I know Rangers have some expensive players they can ill afford - but they look as bad as you might expect from a team that coasted by against part-timers - not sharp, not tactically terribly aware and a fair few didn't even look very fit. Their "we will win coz we are (The) Rangers" line will not be enough in the cold harsh light of day - certainly not with a manager who looks clueless how to get the most out of his squad. They were so bad tonight - a long hoof from a keeper and a powder-puff aerial challenge and the game was over. School-boy stuff really. Hibs never looked in danger even when sitting in a bit in the second half. I particularly enjoyed Peralta getting hooked at half-time since he seems to think he is a footballer - like when he tried to turn a Hibs defender so many times he only actually revolved on the spot before tying himself up and falling over - and no-one has told him the truth. Him and Moshni are great entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is our league to lose. They aren't winning this based on their historical status which is what some people seem to have in their heads. I believe in our club 100% They haven't won leagues before based on historical status. Mostly they've won leagues because, that year, they were better than Celtic. If you look at their individuals, a decent manager could cobble together a pretty workmanlike and very experienced team from them, and be able to put them out and hardly drop any points. However they don't have a decent manager. Most of them are there for the pay day. They have rock bottom morale and no one currently employed at the club who could change that. They are totally rudderless. That's why they are losing to Hibs and the like, not because they are a piss poor collection of players. Some of them are piss poor of course but there's a half decent team at that club if someone cared to look for it.certainly decent enough to make a challenge.the longer things remain as they are at Ibrox, the better for us.

Jambos_1874 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It's all well and good seeing them go 6 points behind us tonight but if we **** up against QoS and they win at the weekend they will only be 3 points behind and would have renewed confidence. If any one of our players becomes complacent then we are in trouble. All it'll take is Sally getting sacked and them opening their seemingly inexhaustible chequebook in January and things could be reversed quite quickly. However, the Hun are rank rotten and I have not seen anything from them which suggests that they should be favourites to win the league. The fans can dream but RN and the players will remain professional and give it 100 % right up to the last game of the season. The thought of seeing the JTs actually win a league (albeit the Championship) is just unbelievable though!!

The feeling is one of happiness that we are back in the big league we belong in and not much more. That's the feeling I expect to have if we win it this time. It might be a bit sweeter and more memorable if we leave Hibs and Rangers floundering below us but better that 190512 ? Nae chance !!!

I've never seen us win a league before, but to beat the (formerly) all conquering Hun to the league title after decades and decades of being tens of points off them at the end of the season (bar '05/'06) would be absolutely amazing. Patricularly if the league went down to the wire. Not only that, we would be winning a league which has Hibs in it which would make it even more satisfying. 19/05/12 was incredible but to be successful in the league over a whole season would be (possbily) even better. I don't know, I'll maybe feel different if/wehn it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
