Is that crowd essentially a home game for Rangers? Dont begrudge livi wanting to make money but questions need asked about certain teams willingly giving that sort of *unnecessary additional* advantage to the OF every time they play them

Teams are beaten purely on the old firms reputation, they have done this to every team in Scotland for over a 100 years, teams know what’s coming and 9/10 can’t hold there nerve

its not about having a go or parking the bus against the old firm, on most occasions  it’s about holding your nerve.

let’s face the facts, even garbage old firm sides have done this in Scotland forever

In general Teams without possession tire second half tho. 

 

Sometimes the defending team sneaks a second on the counter, but far too often lots of possession eventually leads to Chances and goals, the OF have done this for years.

Went to Tesco at 1-0. Came back fully expecting Rangers to have won and I wasn't surprised. A story as old as time.

Same, even the odds for Rangers to win at half time were shocking. 

 

Business as usual.

The thing about ‘having a go’ is that isn’t Livi’s game. They’re more suited to sitting deep and defending and counter attacking. So when they have to choose tactics against the OF, their team is more used to and suited how they played today. We, however, are not suited to playing a defensive sit in game. We’re used to attacking teams and going for points. That’s why when it comes to us it makes more sense to just ‘have a go’ against the OF. As we’d be playing a style the players are more used to. Whereas if we play defensively we’re playing a way we don’t play 9 games out of 11, so already making things difficult for ourselves.

Agreed.

 

But why play your own game and make it exciting when you could sit in all game, bite your fans to tears and still get nothing out of the game...

 

9 times out 10 (at least) those teams who sit in and hope to scrape something lost anyway.

I've always wanted us to attack the OF, It makes a loss worse if we sit in and try contain them, If we have a go and get beat then fair enough we tried.

Ross County will give most teams a game.

 

I like our management and recruitment team but Malkay McKay clearly has some very decent contacts

Plastic fc looked very ordinary today a couple of well taken moments in the game won it for them , I think they will not win as many games as last season they will win games with the refs help again , Kent was absolutely rank today think he’s had his best season up here ,Soapy was shite as well karma is lovely

St Johnstone raging that Hibs player not sent off for tackle identical to one their guy sent off for.

Will be interesting watch on Sportscene. Second game in a row Hibs score last minute winner at Perth after SJ reduced to 10.

Without seeing it, I'll go for ref favouring the vermin. We need to be careful next week as they will be on full cheat mode.

They probably won't show the Hibs offence

Guaranteed they won’t. It’s clear what they’re going to try and do to us though, making a fuss of the Grant booking. Wtf was that about?

They showed it and was just as bad as the Davidson red card

Great to see Souttar getting ripped to pieces by Nouble, vastly over rated player and will be on the bench most weeks.

Livis season will be decided more so than not with points picked up against the teams they are competing for places with, when teams are playing well it usually lifts the attendance.  The extra money made can go towards making the side a wee bit better with extra investment.  Then they could fill a bit more of the stadium with there fans.  It's a no brainer in a league where money is quite tight.  If the money generated doing this  then allows them a bigger wage bill each season with the funds then having a few extra quid is going to get them a better option of player.  Which then gives them a better chance of achieving there goals at the end of the season.  Home clubs should be forced to make any empty seats nit sold available for away fans for live TV games anyway.

A total load of nonsense from Kilmarnock, they in turn give away tickets to youths and schools to try and fill the ground. Last time they tried this they instructed all youth players to attend in their club tracksuit , we had two junior members of our supports club who travelled to Killie ( officially signed at Killie ) and you can be assured they were not supporting Killie that day .

its not nonsense, killie can decide what allocation an away team gets. you are upset that they might not be assuming the positon to you and the other lot

He's a great player. Hope he has a nightmare with them though.
