Tonight's victory was beautiful, but made even more sweeter by having sevconians sat next to me. 4 of them to be precise. 

 

Seeing them walking away was delightful!

Thing is. They had no shame sitting in our end. None what so ever

Nice wee programme on BBC to cheer up rangers.

Far too many of them in our end tonight. 3 guys emptied shortly after kick off in section p then another group at half time at the exit near bar 1874.

Said similar re the sneaky pricks who appear after poor results. 

[D4nny_]

Don’t know if it’s already been mentioned but appears Gerrard stormed up the tunnel at full time and didn’t shake hands with our coaches.

 

Toys well oot the pram!  

[Debut 4]

Great effort and fighting performance. Probably our weakest “technical” performance under Stendel so far but it was like Hearts of old. 
 

Not necessarily playing great but staying in the game through sheer focus and workrate. 
 

It was clear DS focused more on defending better. We were rarely countered and more in shape when we lost the ball.  In turn, our more advanced players were ready to scratch and scrap when the ball came forward and it made Rangers feel unsettled constantly.

Correct. It seems there was a fair few of them in the home end tonight. Hope they all enjoyed the game.

This.

 

I have to be honest and say that our performances have not been great recently but the glee with which some so called 'Supporters' conduct themselves on here is unbelievable.

 

To continually play the I'm so disappointed/upset/angry (insert any other adjective here) card - because I'm such a PHM - is quite simply bollocks. To make a point and move on is acceptable. To continually bang on and on, picking away at the scab and refuse to allow it to even attempt to heal are not the actions of a 'Supporter', these are the actions  of one of the following;

 

A - Halfwit 

 

B - Hobbit/Hobbo/Vermin

 

C - Welt Troll

 

At a time when the club needs all the support it can get all of the above should be called for what they are at every opportunity.

Maybe looked different at the game but I genuinely can not see where you think we were weak technically. We played very well , every player knew their jobs and did them perfectly , the balance in the team was good and the tactics spot on

The link up play and thoroughness on the ball wasn’t there as in previous games. Looked obvious to me but I may be wrong. Again, not great conditions though.

Hopefully both the players and manager can take a lot of confidecne from that display today. Today we attacked when we had to and could do. But it was more organised today, suggesting that the manager has also learned from recent performances. Playing his style of football may work perfectly well in both Germany and England where players have a little more time to think when the ball is at their feet but up here it is played almost constantly at 100 mph and the ball spends a lot more time in the air. That in itself means you need to maintain a strong defensive line and that was a very apparent difference tonight, in that when we did go forward it wasn't 8 outfield players all going forward at once, the defensive set up wasn't compromised in any way. Today was definitely something to build on, and I'd be more than happy if the remaining games to be played this season all ended 1-0 in our favour. From here to the end of the season isn't the time for further experimentation, it is all about winning football matches. Following the result at St Mirren Park tonight we now know the immediate future, Easter Road Tuesday, home to Motherwell then away to St Mirren. Three winnable games, and depending on results elsewhere even 7 points from those three games could put a different outcome on the end of the season. All round tonight I though everyone contributed and if there is any special mention then I think it has to go to Craig Halkett, who had a stormer of a game (you know when he is playing well because you can't hear people who sit round about you talking about his weight).

 

Absolutely; no frills, just basic solid.

Brilliant performance from the whole team!

Glad i got up early over here in NZ to watch that! Enjoyed every minute! Apart from ref trying to cheat them in to the semis! Got to say  i thought dikamona was immense though!

Hopefully we can meet st johnstone in the semis! Cmon saints!

There was a lot of really good link up play , everything was just more measured today so rather than 100 wee quick flicks for nothing , it was more effective. Imo of course 😉

[Boris5115]

Just home. Fantastic result. Fantastic performance. Well done to all Jambos who attended tonight and gave the team great backing.I thought the atmosphere created by all who made the effort to attend was brilliant and may you all enjoy your day at Hampden come April. Bring on the Vermin so we can hump them again. 

[Tom Hardy’s Dug]

There was some pretty high pressing going on in the last quarter of the match. Halkett even did a Davie MacPherson

 

It felt to me we actually started to put them under the press more the longer the game went on apart from the obligatory last 5 mins when they just had to punt it long all the time.

 

i don’t know if anyone felt the same?

He hasn’t been experimenting though / he’s been trying to implement his style

 

If anything tonight, for Stendel, was an experiment.

Still maintained that high line combined with pressing game so, I'm sorry, I didn't see any experimenting tonight.  We would have been defending our 18 yard line previously.

 

This is the manager who had the best defensive record while playing gegenpress.

 

The difference was we played as a unit from Back to front.

Great performance, Stendal got the tactics absolutely spot on and everyone played with grit and determination, hopefully can carry that performance onto the Derby and get off the bottom on Tuesday

Re the Gerrard up the tunnel chat....he waited for about 30 seconds or so but Daniel was still involved in the celebrations with staff and players..he then went up the tunnel and shortly after Daniel ran down the tunnel to catch him up

 

A total non story

 

Now as to what happens with Gerrard it may be a different story regarding do I stay or do I go.

This, he praised us in the post match interview, regarding his future I honestly think the best thing he could do for his career is leave The Rangers for the English championship, celtic are miles ahead of them domestically.

Stendal on the other hand, I honestly believe he will keep us up and after a preseason and some players in and out we'll be fighting for a euro spot next season

I believe that this was no surprise...Rangers have not beaten us in the cup at Tynecastle since 1957

If that's correct, I was there.  I was there even if it isn't correct of course.  4-0 defeat.  Very disappointing.  Was sitting on the track with thousands of other kids.  Saw myself on the telly when Alex Scott took a corner near me.

 

Doesn't half make me feel old.

MORNING fellow jambos.............smug is the word.

 

Thought we were toast after the first 20 minutes but, we then rammed them dry for the rest of the game.

 

One thing stands out...........the sky pundits so wanted a cheek goal, the countdown for the last 20 minutes was un listenable........”this is a big 20 minutes for rangers..........this is a big 15 minutes for rangers” etc...etc..FFS......even right up into injury time....”what can rangers do in the closing minutes”, they just can’t help themselves.

 

Another point...... they went on and on about the handball in the box and how it was a second yellow (ok yes I get that) but, conveniently failed to mention had the ref given the handball and subsequent penalty for hearts then that corner would not have happened.

 

Anyway, the main thing is........get it right roond yi ya west coast weegie arse cheeks and, good bye Gerrard.

With a couple of weeks off and potentially only 4 home League matches left, an opportunity to knock out a Glasgow club from the competition. 

 

All rather low key thus far.

 

Forget the League,  another chance awaits to go the distance in our favourite competition. 

 

The last match against the toiling Weegies demonstrated this is a winnable tie.

 

We have a great Tynecastle record against them. 

 

Hopefully we get at least 13k for the game,  make some noise and have at least another Hampden date to salvage something positive from the season 

Pretty good OP I would say. 

 

Feeling particularly good this morning
