Down near Newquay for a while and was wondering if anyone knows of bar for Sunday's game? Not easy when there's an English game on same time.



13 Sep 2020 23:37:01
Dunno mate but get there before they shut them all down.



14 Sep 2020 10:18:58
Get someone’s sky go details. Download sky go on yer phone and buy drink from an offies. Your chances of finding a pub showing an spfl game down ther mate are slim to none. 👍🔴⚪️🔵.



14 Sep 2020 16:57:25
Thanks for replies but it's all good, found a bar called Walkabout that's showing it.



13 Sep 2020 17:30:06
well there you have it -- one of the main instigators against our drop to lower divisions gets humped in their first visit since those trying times -we are top and they languish 5th from bottom need I say "karma" works in strange ways" .



13 Sep 2020 21:39:54
Don't give them that much importance they're a poor team 1 of many i Hooe well despatch this season on way to league.



13 Sep 2020 22:12:47
Dee, I can’t help but thinking your about 6 months too early, ” languishing “ in 5th in a 12 team league after 7 games is actually pretty damn good for a newly promoted club, while I. Can’t stand them this is quite ridiculous, and they didn’t instigate against, they voted for.



13 Sep 2020 22:58:28
ok--thanks tom.



14 Sep 2020 01:04:13
No problem old chap, I actually know what you’re talking about but it’s incredibly early for that, karma would be them going bust,



14 Sep 2020 10:08:39
you obviously can't spot sarcasm tomthumb12,karma would be the whole spfl going bust starting with the hierarchy.



14 Sep 2020 11:20:54
To be fair for an “ex-pro” ( 🤭 ) he doesn’t spot much. He has about the same knowledge of the game as Clancy and that’s being kind👍😂👀.



13 Sep 2020 16:25:26
Absolutely loving our setup this year. I worry less about Tav tracking back with 2 capable DMs there to cover him. Although his defensive duties will always be the first thing he’s judged on, I think having that extra cover allows him to do what he does best.

Tav has got to have a stellar season or we don’t win the league. Let’s face it, he’ll never be dropped even if his performances dip.

He’s our Captain until at least end of Season regardless of what happens. I’m sure we’re all backing him 100%.



13 Sep 2020 16:59:10
So, let me get this straight.

Every player performs at 100% except Tav who is only at 90% = we don't win the league?

In other words, were all fully behind him until he makes a mistake!



13 Sep 2020 18:47:03
so, on here we are all asked or asking about box to box midfield player and have not nailed that player down now that WILL improve the team/ squad that SG wants.

just a thought, what about taking TAV out the back line and use him like we did with Ricksen box to box, and find or use a new full back.

second point today is we are quick to say 'legs have gone' about Steve Davis, MOTM yesterday, still has something to add to our famous.



13 Sep 2020 19:26:38
Tav absolutely not good enough to play in midfield.



13 Sep 2020 19:59:58
John25, agree with you mate, he also struggles to cross the ball to someone with the same colour of shirt on.



13 Sep 2020 21:42:05
People on this site used to criticise why we needed 2 holding midfielders but when u hear stevie g explain they cover runs our full backs make it seems so simple but that's why we come on sites like this while sg is paid big bucks.



13 Sep 2020 21:48:19
hahahhhohhoohohoho good one stuck. totally agree. needs to cutdown on all the jobs and focus. then .



13 Sep 2020 22:15:40
Tav will not be judged firstly on his defensive duties, the management know his qualities and they’re used firstly, that’s rather obvious or he would have been gone long ago.



14 Sep 2020 07:45:16
No DK, my point is that Tav will not be dropped regardless of his performance. The teams performance, over the longevity of the season, is on the basis of Tav playing well as he is our leader. You don’t win leagues with an inconsistent captain

Tom, I understand what your saying but as a RB, I still think he will be judged on defence over his attacking ability. I wasn’t talking about Gerrard and co’s opinion in particular. His defensive ability is the first thing we always say about Tav. It’s paramount to any RB.



14 Sep 2020 08:16:51
BlueG, why are you not talking about SG opinion? Surely that’s the only one that matters?

Think his comments over the last few days tell us all we need to know about his thoughts on Tav - but you and some other may know better!



14 Sep 2020 08:48:25
Why is everyone so fixated on moving Tav from RB? it was bad enough suggesting him as a winger now we have him playing CM? He is a full back all day long, some of the best full backs in world football can't defend because they are no longer expected to be world class defenders.



14 Sep 2020 10:58:16
Think you have misunderstood again DK. I didn’t discuss SGs opinion as it had nothing to do with the point I was making. Also, Gerrards comments on Tav don’t support nor contradict the idea that a RBs main duty is defending. So I have no idea where the ‘know better’ than Gerrard comment comes from.

Honestly no malice in anything I’m saying I don’t understand why some people on here take differing opinions as a personal attack.

If u can state why someone’s statement is wrong, without taking it personally, might be a good start.



14 Sep 2020 16:52:33
Big, it’s the way fb defenders have mutated mate, I honestly don’t think Robertson ids a great defender, it’s the pace going forward that matters nowadays mate.



13 Sep 2020 12:08:01
Listen boys and excuse my ignorance but did the team with butcher woods etc not go thousand odd minutes without conceding so how have we created a record noo.



13 Sep 2020 12:51:12
I can remember that when Hamilton scored to stop it. It must have been during the season and this record we now have is the best start to a season I would presume.



13 Sep 2020 13:03:33
The Light Blues became the first Scottish side to open a season with seven straight shut-outs

This is the record.



13 Sep 2020 13:51:59
Ger1 the record woods had was midway through a season.



13 Sep 2020 13:53:06
Ger 1 i'm pretty sure that the record you are talking about was in all games including the cup. I might be wrong though.



13 Sep 2020 13:55:38
Records mean nothing league trophy is all that matters this season.



13 Sep 2020 14:11:22
Fs, it’s the first 7 games of the season, not too difficult to read the paper mate, or just ask someone who actually follows football.



13 Sep 2020 14:11:45
Your right kja9 but breaking records like the one we just have will go a long way to do doing just that.
Winning the league 😉.



13 Sep 2020 14:35:37
If you don't concede then you can't lose. I'm thrilled we are solid at the back👍.



13 Sep 2020 14:55:11
Mr Grumpy it doesn’t go a long way to winning the title it’s 7 games in to a 38 game league season.
Our 1st real test is next Sunday and I hope for a few goals and another clean sheet.



13 Sep 2020 15:12:31
Where is the need in that reply Tom thumb? Annoys you that much just scroll past.



13 Sep 2020 15:41:07
The guy only asked a question tom👍.



13 Sep 2020 15:45:10
Actually KJA9, our first real test was away at pittodrie. 👍 our 2nd test was away to livi on that pitch👍 our 3rd test was beating hamilton on that pitch after dropping points on the same pitch at livi👍 Our 4th test is hibs next week. 👍.



13 Sep 2020 16:15:30
The guy asked a civil question who try and make out he doesn't read. Jeez. You are correct this record is regarding best start to season as far as clean sheets go.
7 game clean sheet record SO FAR at the start of season puts us in a good place. How many games must it be before we are allowed to talk about it KJA?



13 Sep 2020 16:16:47
Agreed Coldo. First test was Pittodrie.



13 Sep 2020 16:26:08
Very true and I apologise, but with a moniker of Ger1 and having to ask seems rather strange, anyway apologies mate,

kJ, it does matter very much, for a few reasons, goal difference and confidence, oh and 22 points.



13 Sep 2020 18:59:18
"If you don't concede you don't lose"? And yet the very same poster was going mental at drawing with Livi? 👍👀
And " 3rd test was Hamilton"? Where the very same poster was saying we should beat Hamilton easy - so how's that a test? 👍👀
Answers in an email to knickersinatwist@4-4-2.coldo👍👀😂😂😂.



13 Sep 2020 19:21:20
Coldo that’s only in your opinion FACT my opinion 1st real
Test is next week.

The sheep had no strikers.



13 Sep 2020 19:28:09
Doesn't mean we have to accept draws when we should be winning.



13 Sep 2020 19:45:27
Tom thumb apologies for getting you so upset but it was a genuine question I do follow football and obviously rangers in particular my forecast is we are least a couple short in midfield if we are going to challenge for the league only my opinion as tom thumb says I don't follow football.



13 Sep 2020 21:51:33
oldo your doing great let's keep it toge ther.



13 Sep 2020 22:20:29
Ger, your apology is accepted, don’t let it happen again

Bb, have you not got homework to do son.



14 Sep 2020 08:18:09
KJ, if records don’t mean much, why is everyone so hung up on 10 in an row?



13 Sep 2020 10:19:53
Tav maybe no most vocal captain we will ever have but he leads by example 4 training sessions he's missed since he be at the club that's amazing let's behind the man and stop slating him once he makes mistakes. He's no first captain to make mistakes and he'll no be the last.



13 Sep 2020 11:38:01
Just because he's hardly missed a game or training doesn't mean he's captain material, he isn't a captain, but he is a good player and servant of our club.



13 Sep 2020 12:08:54
Well let's drop him as captain then that will do wonders for the team.



13 Sep 2020 12:32:00
there are two things here. have a go take on all responsibilities positive attitude which can be a great example and take on lots of responsibilities and then fail at them. the latter being tav. awareness of this is all that should be needed.



13 Sep 2020 12:52:53
Absolutely brilliant, you only miss a few training sessions which merits the captain badge! LOL.



13 Sep 2020 13:00:09
Stuck, what merits being captain is gaining the trust and belief of our manager who himself happened to be one of the greatest club captains ever.

It’s not that difficult to understand surely.

Top of the league, best defensive record in a long time, equal best goals against last season and yet some think our problem is our captain and defence?

Facts say that last year we lost the league because we didn’t score enough goals from January but hey, let’s blame our right back and captain!



13 Sep 2020 13:57:20
Not many saying Tav is a poor player but yes there are a few who can't forget his defensive frailties of past. I think we can all say his style of play brings a nice balance to the team going forward, me personally I also think he has improved defensively this season.
When it comes to the captaincy here's the thing, when SG came in he was team captain, do you think in his first appointment in senior management he is going to remove the team captain and upset the dressing room, not a chance and has since built a bond/ relationship with Gerrard, that's why he is the captain and still will be as long as he is here.
Wouldn't be my first choice but that's the way I see it.



13 Sep 2020 13:57:23
Facts say DK19 we didn’t gain enough points to win league from jan and scoring and conceding goals was the problem you can’t use one just to suit your Narrative.



13 Sep 2020 14:17:03
Whatever you think of Tav he has taken Rangers to his heart and is a great servant, great weapon going forward which will get him to the English premiership when he leaves because full backs with a great engine and a end ball are very much on demand all over Europe, ever since Hutton left for millions that’s been the case,



13 Sep 2020 14:48:53
Yip totally agree, Tav is never captain material, Rangers can improve so much by selecting a new captain. There's always room for improvement.



13 Sep 2020 15:18:05
KJA9
Facts say if you don't score a goal you don't get 3 points.

We conceded the same number of goals as Celtic in the league, therefore, the problem was that we didn't score enough goals.

Stuck
Rangers can improve so much by selecting a new and better player for every position but whilst supporters have opinions, only the manager gets to decide taking into account the reality of money and the desire of potential recruits to come to Scotland.



13 Sep 2020 15:31:08
It isn't Fantasy Football - you don't get bonus points for changing your captain on a game by game basis. 👍
And we should have leaders all over the park. 👍.



13 Sep 2020 15:50:41
Your captain should be your number 1 leader, that's the first quality of a captain👍.



13 Sep 2020 19:24:06
Tell Gerrard coldo, he probably doesn't know anything about being a captain.



13 Sep 2020 22:22:49
Brexits just kicked your hawmaws coldo my old son, in possil secondary that would have fetched a severe malky.



14 Sep 2020 08:48:20
And who would have done it.
The Malky Bar Kid.



13 Sep 2020 09:26:06
Morning all.
To think, we are not the finished article but we are brushing teams aside now. Its exciting that we are almost there.
Kent is on form. and is only going to get better, in turn i think this might help Hagi, he won't be the big expected 1 so might relax? He seems he's trying to hard the way Kent was last year. Thoughts?

Kamara again done no harm to hid chances. Defenders class again, in games we will have a few scares but all in all happy.

If we had this game last year and lost all the players to injury we would have dropped in Levele. Having Morelos, Arfield, bassey, helander etc all able to come off the bench is great. We also have Itten n Defoe. I think an out n out right winger and a box to box CM and we are good to go.
7 games without conceding, 11 if u. Include pre season, faced 8shots on target all season. Those stats are testiment to our back 5 first n foremost. But we are defending from the front.
Gerrard, who many get angry at, has. learned to switch things up with personal and formations both before and during games.
Its exicitng to see. we cannot let barasic or Kent go. And IMO i don't think Alfie or the gaffer is in a rush to get him gone. He's knuckled down trimmed down and looks good. He might well be trying to earn a move, if that is the case then surely rangers benefit from this, we will, have a fit firing Alfie n then a fair sum if he goes, if he stays then as I say we have a fit n firing Alfie into the mix.


Whats your thoughts folks?



13 Sep 2020 11:57:28
Yes I agree we are playing well but I’ll reserve my judgement until after Christmas (if we get that far) based on the last two seasons.



13 Sep 2020 11:59:17
Totally agree, at the moment we are gelling well.



13 Sep 2020 13:11:49
Playing well but we were playing like this start of last season aswell, time will tell when we get involved in battles away from home, we have failed badly against aides in bottom 6 when we don't get the 1st goal.



13 Sep 2020 13:58:33
It’s a long season and plenty of games to be played next Sunday is our 1st real big test in my opinion.



13 Sep 2020 14:00:50
Good post Kri55 and I agree with you but I also agree with G4rry, I'll wait till after Xmas, Hibs game a good test next week.



13 Sep 2020 14:20:08
The truth will only be known after playing Celtic a couple of times and winning as easily as them away from home, it’s about a killer touch syndrome,

Please not another week about the same Morelos Shute,



13 Sep 2020 15:33:18
What's the latest on Morelos, Tomthumb? You heard anything? 😂😜😂.



13 Sep 2020 23:42:25
He’s a spoiled little jumped up brat, like err,



Review Of The Day 13th September 2020

13 Sep 2020 07:39:19
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 13th September 2020



13 Sep 2020 01:22:55
My son works in football and said Daniel Johnson was Preston leading scorer last season. Very creative excellent passer and never misses a pen. Rangers getting super player there who could play for half the prem teams in England.



13 Sep 2020 06:22:34
Preston must have a habit of great pen taker. graham alexander was also a great pen taker.



13 Sep 2020 13:06:28
Daniel Johnson from what I was told from a friend is he's a great player. Always getting involved in attack. Very different to what we have available right now but is very lazy.



13 Sep 2020 14:22:34
That must be a long history then, 2 of them,

Hope your boys right then mate, could be doing with a solid boy in middle of the pitch.
