to all the pedro doubters, i would like to point out that even if results ain't went our way, at least we ain't being pussy's about it, hell of a lot more phyiscality about the team and i like that, watched killie kick us of the park last season, and contain us due to this aggression, dire to watch, and hee-haw to cheer, but still i follow follow. This season the team are much better to watch mair fight in them, n i credit that to P. C.

You obviously didn’t watch the Celtic game when they brushed us aside with very little effort

Pedro is on botherd time if he can not start putting a run of winning games together in next month or two
This is our problem to inconsitent.
And seem to me pedro still doesn't no his best team or formation to put out to many underperforming players playing every week.
Maybe a switch of formation to 5 3 2

Brushed aside by Celtic what did you expect we have spent about £8 mill to build a team Celtic have players worth far more than that we are miles behind them player ways and financially it's unfair to judge Pedro against Celtic it will take a large investment to even get near them £20 mill or so and right now we don't have that type of money it will take time and patience but our fans want success now or just sack the manager we have a better team now than last year MW left us is a complete mess we have had to pay up contracts to get rid of players we have had to bring in players that a few years ago would never have pulled on a Rangers jersey but we are where we are and all this sack the manager this player is crap that player is hopeless does no one any good I can just see the Pedro haters praying we drop points tomorrow night so the keyboards can start going well I'm not over joyed with the start we have had to the season but I do accept it takes time to turn a team around and even longer on a low budget but I'm willing to give Pedro another transfer window and judge at the end of the season we were never going to challenge Celtic this season we need to look at overhauling Aberdeen and that won't be easy they have had a few seasons of stability the core of their team has been in place for a while we have players who have to adjust to the pace of the game here I have been a season ticket holder for over forty years and seen some great players come and go but some of the best took time to adjust to the pace and the physicality of our game we need to get a settled side where we bring in two to three players in a transfer window not eight or nine we need to get a share issue up and running also the kit deal will start bringing in money now so we need to invest in the team we're not that far off having a decent side but what we need now is two or three quality players who can win games with that bit of magic we lack that when teams sit in against us we find it hard to break them down but we are scoring goals need to tighten up at the back but for the love of god be patient what would sacking our manager do right now only cost us the millions we should be investing in our team get behind them show the team and the manager we are with them see where we are at end of the season three point on Friday come on The Gers

Thinkaboutit

Sorry but the arguement doesn’t hold any water. Why then did Partick Thistle give them a sterner test this season and how did St Johnstone and Hibs both get well deserved points off them at Celtic park? Both these teams didn’t spend £8m in the summer and with St Johnstone they finished below us last season even taking into account the mess Warburton left. At no point have we even competed with them under the current Manager and they have had 3 easy games against us. We haven’t laid a glove on them at all which is totally unacceptable. Even when we were finishing 4th or 5th in the league in the eighties we were more competitive against them and under Wallace performances like that wouldn’t have happened once let alone 3 times

Good post thinkaboutit, I have also been a supporter for over 40 years and seen the best and the worst teams. Patience is not an option for many fans but we are going in the right direction, give Pedro and the team backing and have faith, if not patience.
Yes, we are behind Celtic by a long way and it may well take 2 or 3 seasons to be able to compete but I am sure we will be back where we belong - at the top.

Sparky the changes we have made this season is taking time to settle if you look at our goal difference this season we are well ahead of where we were last season scoring more goals we need to tighten up at the back we need a natural left sided player with pace and I'd like to see another striker on board but we are in a better place now than we were last season you talk about teams like St Johnston and Patrick Thistle with no disrespect to any other team Celtic will fight a lot harder against us than against any other teams that's normal we need to get a run of results together build confidence in the team that is worth its weight in gold but all this negativity against the team and the manager does no good we need to support them through this period let's judge at end of the season not after what seven games

Agree thinkaboutit, too many rushing to judge Pedro and he needs to be given time. Don't agree with all of his signings and some of the things he says but have no doubt he is fully committed and passionate about the club. If we win next 6 games we will be in a cup final and every chance will have narrowed points gap with Celtic and the sheep.

@sparky - both the Saints and the Hivs are below us in the league. It doesn’t matter what happens in 1 off games, final positions are decided over the course of the season.

Yes they are so why is it they can give Celtic a harder game than we do? As for the thirty Celtic try harder because it’s us doesn’t wash they have beat us without having to get out of second gear. It’s a very sad day when so many fans on here just seem to accept poor performances against them. It speaks volumes that Sky released viewing figures for the last old firm game and it was lowest ever audience. We are so poor and can’t give them any sort of game no one outwith the old firm want to watch it. Doesn’t very exactly put the league in a strong position when it comes to renegotiating the sky deal

Didn't get out of second gear Sparky! What utter single fish.

@sparky - English football fans don't watch it because its irrelevant to them as the EPL has been marketed as the ' greatest league on earth '. They even laud the Championship above it.

Viewing figures are also down due to economic factors ( not everyone can afford BT + Sky or either ) , illegal downloads and pubs seeing a rise in customers for the big matches. This is why Sky have restructured their sports packages - its a marketing ploy to see who is buying what. And its not just up too the Old Firm to help sell Scottish football, all clubs have a responsibility to try and put a decent product on the park.

I don't know any fans personally who can accept the poor performances against Celtic but we are where we are currently due to financial mismanagement and player recruitment especially over the last 5 years. Continually changing managers doesn't help, but we as fans have to put our faith in the board that they will get it right. I'm always prepared to give a manager at least a season then his / the teams performances can be properly evaluated.
