Tait was unlucky, I could see what he was trying to do, he touched the ball just a tad too far in front of him, he was about to skip past the rangers player and drive straight into their half, I for one would not put him off trying that every week, thats what we were lacking all game.

I just want to get bevvied in Europe now. Enjoyable? really? I am delighted we will finish third but enjoyable, not so sure. I ‘enjoyed’ the two wins against Celtic and the last minute winner at Easter Road but for the majority of the time watching us has been far from enjoyable. I think the last two 45 mins I really enjoyed were first half v Zurich at home and first half away to St Johnstone, both under Neilson.

Pasquale for King Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 2 hours ago, Hashimoto said: It's been a recurring situation all season. We start the game far too slow and take ages to get into gear. The fear was we would concede a goal early and that's exactly what happened, on the back foot again! We just never learn. The signs were there against Livvy in the first 20 minutes, but we eventually got away with it. The result was fairly predictable in the end. Some of our players are just not up to the job of competing in these big matches. Time to move them on It’s not just this season, happened a lot under RN too and whatever the reason is has to change.

Progress is clear, but it is a multi season project. Some journey this!....We've sent probes to Mars quicker than seen transformation in this team.

i wish jj was my dad Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Some absolute belters on this thread. It's sore to take but we competed well enough but just lacked quality in the final third. It's not because we are shite, bottled it, didn't show up or most laughable of all because the club is riddled with huns. The reality is that Rangers are still better than us. We've signed some decent players on pre contracts. Add a striker in the mould of Ginnelly or Simms and upgrade right back and box to box midfield and we'll be closer to them.

They weren’t great yesterday at all, we couldn’t press them properly because we had two slow players up front, a headless chicken with no tactical awareness at LW and a young guy at RW, with slow lazy midfielder behind. You need pace all over against them on such a big pitch, we have some but probably not enough, but the starting 11 wasn’t what was required.

i8hibsh Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Really need to offload as many shitebags as we possibly can. Oda, Tagawa, Forrest, Atkinson etc Forrest certainly has quality but he has no fight. The Japanese boys are not cut out for our game and never will be. Vargas and Rowles would be on this list too but they are contracted to us for so long that it is pointless to even discuss it. Rangers fans complaining that their team are full of shite bags, which is true - but quite frankly their shitebags are much better than our shitebags. We have very few players who can roll their sleeves up against the big boys, and the ones that can are always ****ing injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us as a club to compete with the Old firm we need to boost our turnover to be nearer to them. Securing European group football every season is an important step. The stadium development is another. All of these steps are critical in generating revenue that can be invested in the squad on a sustainable basis. How long, who knows.

AC Mallin_51 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Can’t help think that if Haring had kept his discipline in the last 5 minutes at Ibrox that we would’ve got out of there that day with 3 points. The mentality shift towards playing Rangers could be so different. After the win at Parkhead there really is new found belief and confidence that we can get a result off of Celtic. So much so we beat them the following time we played them, so much so I reckon when we go through there in a couple weeks there will be belief we can get a result. When we play Rangers at the moment there is a real sense of dread. When the draw was made for the semi that was the one team we did not want. It’s really annoying because apart from the 5-0 game at Ibrox I wouldn’t say they’ve looked anything special when we’ve played them. The fact we’ve lost the other 4 games to them is really disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
