Rangers Banter Archive October 22 2020

22 Oct 2020 23:42:24
Liege unbeaten at home in Europe in 6 years. And this duff team just went there and won convincingly. How do you explain that Jackie?
This team just keeps coming up with the goods, so much so that it isn't even surprising anymore. What the management team has done this season is incredible. We are a complete unit, capable of beating anybody on our day, for the first time in years. Onwards and upwards.

23 Oct 2020 01:04:58
In all fairness he said that we are not a good team.
He was completely right because we are a superb team.

23 Oct 2020 06:39:01
Its the celtic way seeker. 🤷‍♂️👍.

23 Oct 2020 09:45:33
AC Milan are not a good side. McNamamara logic.

To be honest, I thought there was quite a lot of slack play from Milan, and some really wasteful balls in the final third from them. They looked very casual once they were at 2 nil. Celtic scoring spurned them on though. Lennon thought that period was enough to give him encouragement. aye, only because Milan had stopped playing!

22 Oct 2020 23:21:48
I don't want to Jinx Tav but I think at this point I have to say he is on the form of his life. He is coming into his prime. Get him signed up for another 4 years as he may go in 2021 to sunnier climes.

23 Oct 2020 06:43:09
Yep, grab him and tie him down before one of our own drives him down the motorway for free!

It’s a nice warm and fuzzy feeling to see everyone’s hard work paying off. It’s been a long road back and still we’re not 100% but we’re not far off this year.

Keep the faith.

23 Oct 2020 09:01:35
Tav is definitely playing his best football since he signed and his defending has improved considerably.

23 Oct 2020 09:23:19
He's flying, hopefully keeps going.

23 Oct 2020 12:07:42
He has gave everything this year and is playing out of his skin at moment.
He must be one of the fittest players I've seen at ibrox for a few years.
Some athlete he is.
Keep it up captain.
🔴⚪🔵.

23 Oct 2020 13:45:53
Always said he was a huge weapon for us attacking, but st times he makes silly mistakes. he's cut that out and looks every bit like a player in his prime atm.

22 Oct 2020 22:27:01
Anotther fantastic European night for us, Calvin Bassey is a terrific player, he gets better every time I see him. Roofe's goal will not be bettered I don't think this season. Keep it going lads, the team played well tonight, Ryan Jack showed exactly why he's in the team, he breaks up so many opposition moves.

22 Oct 2020 22:46:59
The full team were superb yet again in europe tonight, with ryan jack the pick for me, as he was motm and simply outstanding 👌The roofe goal was probably the best i've seen and way better than beckam's goal against wimbledon, all those years ago now. You won't see a better goal anywhere in many a year. Roofe's goal tonight was just unbelievable and a thing of beauty!

22 Oct 2020 22:56:02
Only flaw Morelos should have passed back to Tav but i mean strikers instincts he tries to get on the sciresheet he may not be his clinical self but he's a workhorse.

22 Oct 2020 22:57:14
Right Winger in January and our squads well capable of a serious title challenge. The dhims lose at Aberdeen and the meltdown begins.

22 Oct 2020 23:13:24
Tremendous result tremendous team effort tremendous goal and will not see a better goal
It was a performance and a half under the conditions also
SL had absolutely nothing to be complaining about after the game
They tried every dirty trick in the book and were still beat on there home soil and deservedly so
We out fought and out played them all over the pitch
I’m one ecstatic Rangers fan tonight
And the Roofe goal was icing on the cake The team have definitely put us firmly back on the map back on the European stage unbelievable!

23 Oct 2020 01:33:14
Is the Commonsense on here the same person as over on the Celtic page?

22 Oct 2020 21:30:15
Early prediction for Scottish player of the year anybody? After winning a treble and captaining his club to last 8 of Europa league. James Tavernier 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 See big Sutton's face at that 1 🤣🤣🤣.

22 Oct 2020 22:17:11
I said before the season started Ryan Kent, so I'll stick to that prediction. Long way to go though.

22 Oct 2020 22:41:36
I fancied Kent a few weeks ago mate but tav just keeps performing, he’s really stepped up as a captain ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

23 Oct 2020 06:44:34
This is Tavs year.

22 Oct 2020 21:24:57
Thought bassey was really good tonight.

22 Oct 2020 22:17:02
He was excellent. The thought of Barasic missing games last season was scary but Bassey is more than capable of stepping up👍.

23 Oct 2020 08:04:07
He's a different kind of player to barisic but I like him, big, strong, fast and can tackle.
We've got options in our first team squad now.

23 Oct 2020 09:03:30
Bassey will be a massive player for us, excellent recruitment.

22 Oct 2020 20:39:34
Can now say categorically Liege is worst city in Europe to watch football. Crap stadium, weather like Lesmahagow in winter. Never seen so much bloody rain in my life and flights so difficult because don't think anybody wants to go there. But I did and saw Morelos get a lesson. He was rubbish and Gers not particularly effective til Roofe came on. Roofe movement/ passing different class and his goal a joy. It was even better because no fluke. He went passed two players, looked up and, saw their goalkeeper off his linev and the loft was all of 45 yards. I can now say saw diamond in a very ruff stadium. Morelos take heed.

22 Oct 2020 21:18:52
Morelos is a £50m player 😂😂😂.

22 Oct 2020 21:19:29
MBW can personally vouch for winter in the gow that was only a shower. Great result enjoy your trip.
55 on the way W. A. T. P.

22 Oct 2020 22:00:09
Sensational goal and it was just over 50yards Morelos had some unselfish play today but he needs a goal to kick start again and I think the only way he can do that is if he loses another 10lb in weight he's overweight!

22 Oct 2020 22:42:07
Morelos looked a bit big tonight. Haji and Alfie were pish. Ghosts on the pitch. Alfie only seems to be good in the box. Ninety percent rubbish on the rest of the pitch. Hagi looked lost tonight. Not sharp enough. A big 3 points. This group's not as crap as everyone thinks. Last 16 anyway and 55.

22 Oct 2020 23:00:32
Hagi had 1 really good chance but i'd prefer Arfield there and Hagi as the tip of a midfield 3 with 2 holding behind or Aribo or Roofe on the right the thing is the squad is now full of talent and were reaping the rewards.

23 Oct 2020 00:24:22
How did u manage that when there was no away fans allowed?

23 Oct 2020 04:54:08
Herewego

Three thousand fans there. In a 37,000 stadium the only fans from Scotland I saw were us journos. Maybe 20 who all seemed to have done a deal because we were all bluenoses. I say again, like small rundown Rugby Park.

23 Oct 2020 13:48:44
Jammy ****er mbw, missing away days 👍.

22 Oct 2020 20:30:31
Just watching a rerun of Roofe's goal. Did anybody see the guy behind the goal storming down the tunnel? 😂😂👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧.

22 Oct 2020 20:52:16
Any1 heard the rumours going about lennon turning up drunk at training and duffy had to hold him bk to stop him fighting way player lol.

22 Oct 2020 21:03:40
I don't believe that for a second mate! No way is big duffer strong enough to hold anybody back.

22 Oct 2020 21:07:50
😂😂👍🇬🇧.

22 Oct 2020 21:11:59
Aye heard it was Jullien but reckon it's a pile of p1sh mate.

22 Oct 2020 21:23:20
Hope it is p sh so he can watch 55.

22 Oct 2020 21:44:51
Big Julian clarey has been missing for a few weeks now so might be some truth to this.

22 Oct 2020 22:15:56
Heard it as well and eddy not playing because Lennon bullying him and julien been fit for weeks and refusing to play but I reckon it’s just BS.

23 Oct 2020 00:08:40
Julian must have punched him on the nose. I thought that was just a big pluke.

22 Oct 2020 20:17:11
Listen to sutton's commentary on bt its hysterical 😂🇬🇧⚽️.

22 Oct 2020 20:31:03
Think he's going to burst into tears.

22 Oct 2020 20:31:16
Almost as funny as Duffy, s defending for Milan’s first goal. The pendulum is swinging our way.

22 Oct 2020 20:39:41
I think bid Duffer is in the running to be our player of the year - keep up the good work big man!

22 Oct 2020 20:51:36
The Derry Duffer has made their defence worse. They look very suspect at the minute. Ajer and Jullien are far better players than Duffy will ever be. I had seen Duffy a good few times before they signed him and couldn’t believe the song and dance they were making. The mind boggles. They would have been better signing Patrick Duffy!

22 Oct 2020 21:07:04
Patrick Duffy was also good at doing a disappearing act 😂.

22 Oct 2020 21:08:49
Ha ha, the man from Atlantis!

22 Oct 2020 21:14:53
The man from Atlantis would have done well over in Belgium tonight.

22 Oct 2020 21:16:59
Sorry guys, I've read your posts regarding the Celtic game tonight, can you give me an update on the score please?

22 Oct 2020 22:17:20
AC Milan 3 Celtic 1

Duffy was at fault for all three.

23 Oct 2020 04:39:02
Oh dear, oh dear, Mr Duffy. I heard he was supposed to be a terrific player. Ach well, at least theve got Scott Brown. Now whatever they do, don't substitute him, he's the captain.

22 Oct 2020 20:05:04
See Steven immaculate in appearance, tactics, class, lemon got his Versace shell suit on!

22 Oct 2020 20:02:22
The Roofe, The Roofe, The Roofe is on FIRE 🔥 🔥 🔥!

22 Oct 2020 19:59:22
Wow what a performance tonight
That's a team going places 😁😁

We're just been unbelievable
we just keep getting results
That was some match they really thought they would take us tonight they really did

Roofe goal WTAF what a solo performance took 3 players then lobs there keeper from our own half way line
That's already goal of the tournament definitely won't see a better goal
I'm exhausted after that 😂.

22 Oct 2020 20:08:26
Not good for your throat stig all that screaming n shouting! 👍👍👍.

22 Oct 2020 20:22:38
Honestly it certainly wasn’t but well worth it haha
Loved every minute of it
When they start all that simulation diving pulling shirts etc really angers me
We out thought and out played them tonight big time
Best part was they really thought they would take us haha
Oh man what a result.

22 Oct 2020 19:53:46
I was biting my nails towards the end there thinking that standard were going to equalise. The water on the pitch was making it nervy stuff and had it not been for the misjudgement of the Leige player in stoppage time that would have been a different result but what a goal by Roofe and the rangers juggernaut steam rollers another opponent 😁.

22 Oct 2020 19:53:07
COME ON IN--#ROOFE Best goal ever --well done the #Famous and now more #FAMOUS.

22 Oct 2020 19:49:41
Job done half a million in the bank.

22 Oct 2020 19:43:50
Jeezo guys
We have had no luck in that box of there's.

22 Oct 2020 19:36:53
Benfica are obviously having a game of it going with the score line
Not an easy game for them.

22 Oct 2020 19:40:28
Thestig - you not working? Your always working hard, whatever you do mate?

22 Oct 2020 19:45:09
The stuck
No mate getting over some challenge I have had for nearly a week now mate been horrendous
But enjoyed been in house and seeing the football for a change haha.

22 Oct 2020 20:45:10
Predictive text
Should say challenge
It’s been a challenge though trying to get over it 😂.

22 Oct 2020 19:31:36
Tavernier owns the captains role now I really didn't think he had it in him but really is making all of us who criticized him look clueless have complete faith he will lead us to 55 and he so deserves it well played captain 👋👋👋.

22 Oct 2020 19:15:36
Look at that rain
That's unreal just came on

We have had some amount of chances 2nd half so far come on Rangers get into them.

22 Oct 2020 19:23:01
Looks like monsoon stig think wee could easy end up 3 or 4 if wee create as many chances as game goes into last ten mins bassey looks very good also lads impressed.

22 Oct 2020 19:03:13
Oh Morelos 1st time mate what a move by Tav.

22 Oct 2020 18:53:05
I'd like to see Itten on for Morelos. I want Morelos to regain his form but its just not happening for him. Takes about 4 touches to get the ball under control and why not shoot with that chance he had. Time to give Itten a chance in my opinion.

22 Oct 2020 19:20:20
Totally agree mocbear.

22 Oct 2020 18:47:07
Very tough first half
Hopefully barasic injury isn't too bad
Bassey came on made his mark straight away
Everyone putting in a right shift in that first half
McGregor gets a yellow for complaining about the hand ball at the end
Shocking refereeing
Whole team has put in a shift not goi g to try single anyone out to better than the other
Good half time performance
we have had some chances and so have they
Another tough 2nd half coming up
We can do this tonight 😊.

22 Oct 2020 18:51:38
Agreed very hardworking performance, and doing well given we don't have a centre forward!

22 Oct 2020 19:03:22
Morelos just nowhere near as sharp as he once was but so far, so good.

22 Oct 2020 19:23:51
Nothing to do with sharpness it’s confidence.

22 Oct 2020 20:03:44
I agree KJA9. You can see in his body language that he’s lacking in confidence.

22 Oct 2020 20:58:48
Defo kJ. He showed it when he delayed shot from tavs pass And when he passed to Kent instead off shooting.
But again he kept working.
Also at end off game first in there helping Roofe, that’s team spirit.

22 Oct 2020 18:14:48
Get in woop woop come onnnnn

Get in Tav.

22 Oct 2020 17:46:22
Surprised with no Davis and no Helander.
Thought we would rest them this weekend instead?

22 Oct 2020 13:21:01
Mrpotatoehead
C_of_ibrox

That open goal was tremendous like how they all just chat as you would down the pub 😂
Always loved Ferguson
his story about pedro was also funny
Haliday was excellent on it too

crazy to think he hasn't ever spoken to Gerrard since he became Rangers manager
Always thought these guys would sort of move in same circles on nights out
etc

But the show was great 😊👍.

22 Oct 2020 13:57:12
Aye, it's a good format and it's great how they don't hide their allegiances and say it how it is honestly.
Eye opening about Pedro.
And we wonder how he crashed and burned? 😂.

22 Oct 2020 14:00:23
Can I just add to the post above
It’s crazy listening to them all talk about the sports scientists at clubs and the programmes they have to follow now

To be honest never knew this sort of thing was going on behind the scenes as much as it is and how they can interfere with players getting game time
That’s unreal?

22 Oct 2020 14:21:03
Si ferrys interviews in general are very good. Even the early one on one. Durrant, fergie, McCall etc. All brilliant. Doing very well for himsef now that his football he went to lower leagues probably still getting a good wage so fair play.

22 Oct 2020 14:23:08
Aye definitely about pedro

“He was a clown” 🤣🤣🤣.

22 Oct 2020 14:30:49
Definitely Stig. But they are highly tuned athletes compared to the past where everything they do is now monitored on and off the pitch ( nutrition and fitness wise ) .

22 Oct 2020 14:31:15
Andy Halliday on the McGregor story’s too

And what about Alfie, he’s not at his best needs to get back to getting red cards 😂😂

Honestly brilliant.

22 Oct 2020 14:38:01
I was laughing at that the other night when they were on about the science and the science says the player is dehydrated and fergie says gee him a bottle of water and get on with it. It's amazing how things are these days if the science isn't in your favour then you don't get to play.

22 Oct 2020 14:59:33
Exactly 3 cheers - give him a pint of water 💦 brilliant 😂😂
Definitely hooked now
Going to go back and find some older ones 😂.

22 Oct 2020 15:13:48
There's hundreds of them stig, lots of the older ones are good with ex players, managers getting interviewed. Richard gough was saying when scotland played Sweden in the world Cup the sweedish media found out he was born in Stockholm so they get him on live Swedish TV for an interview and the woman starts talking to him in Swedish and he didn't have a clue what she was saying because he was only born there and didn't speak Swedish sitting there with a blank look on his face getting broadcast to millions that would have been good to see.

22 Oct 2020 15:23:19
😂😂😂😂 that’s brilliant
Can’t believe never heard or seen this before.

22 Oct 2020 18:53:41
Get tuned in mate. There should be one out tonight. Every Thursday they do a match prediction for the weekend with Derek Ferguson and Frank McAvennie. I absolutely love open goal. Tremendous young man!

22 Oct 2020 10:01:07
Just watching sky sports just now since I'm off
And watching the story of Rivaldo
What a career that man had some spectacular goals hair raising stuff
How he started as a player, having rickets when he was young and having bent legs as they described it experts said he would never play past 25 😳

Last game of the season The scissor kick goal against Valencia, ball passed to him by frank de boer 1999
They finished 4th to get the champions league spot crowd went crazy as if they had won the league

All his ups and downs with the Brazil national team
The players who played with him and the ones he played along side

What a career what a life actually
That was a really good watch
Brazilians love there football that's for sure 😊.

22 Oct 2020 10:38:55
Sorry amendment for above post
2001 was the scissor kick and they finished 4th

1999 was in my head as he won the world player of the year

Must add inspirational life Coming from where he did and where he ended up.

22 Oct 2020 11:07:55
Did he not play until he was like 40?

22 Oct 2020 11:27:21
Loved watching him back then. Him and Ronaldo (the Brazilian one) .
I remember the story of when we bid for Ronaldo! Crazy.

22 Oct 2020 12:46:57
MADchelskis think it was 43
Ended up back at the club he began his career with and scored in a game in which his son scored in the same game playing along side each other
Don’t think it’s been done before it said in the programme
Unreal.

22 Oct 2020 13:41:18
I watched the Roberto Carlos one the other week👌👍.

22 Oct 2020 09:14:58
Just a wee question because I don't know myself, was Saturday the 1st time rangers have ever started an OF game without a Scottish outfield player in the lineup?

22 Oct 2020 09:29:46
You know hadn’t even thought of that
Crazy now I think about it

Wait McGregor?

22 Oct 2020 09:35:37
Mcgregor.

22 Oct 2020 09:49:12
Outfield players, lads.

22 Oct 2020 10:01:23
My bad. didn't read properly🙈.

22 Oct 2020 10:05:14
To be fair we could have chucked McGregor up front as well for all the work he had to do in the sticks.

22 Oct 2020 10:19:23
@snell 😂😂😂😂 true.

22 Oct 2020 08:45:56
Morning bears. Happy with a win tonight clean sheet no injuries then move on game by game., 🇬🇧.

22 Oct 2020 09:17:18
No injuries and a draw would do me tonight.

22 Oct 2020 11:24:10
Aye Sweep, that would do me too.

22 Oct 2020 08:43:38
I think its crucial we nick points on the road If we are to have any chance of getting a hard Europa league

Ideally 6 points would be superb before going into a double header against Benifica, who have quality all over the park!

22 Oct 2020 10:36:51
Kaz, think we need to be on our game tonight, been a couple of strange results in champs league eg shakhtar beating real Madrid away with 6 first team players out with c19.

22 Oct 2020 07:58:20
See Neil Lennon is raging with comments made by Maurice Ross

That's a guy I haven't seen or heard about in a long time

did he at one point have himself mixed up with some dodgy folk in glasgow can't really go into much detail
Just thought I'd ask the question?

Hope what ever it was he's away from it now.

22 Oct 2020 08:21:46
The banter years are over and they can't handle taking the banter back.

22 Oct 2020 09:15:06
Don’t know about Maurice being mixed up with dodgy folk but I do know McGregor was told the only football he’d be able to play was blow football after he upset a gangster. Ian Ferguson was involved with dodgy people, I think he was friends with them though.

22 Oct 2020 09:24:30
He's raging about comments Maurice made about Duffy which have obviously touched a nerve. (must be something in them)
Has anyone else read posts that are on other forums regarding duffy and what he is costing celtic? Apparently, when everything is added up with loan fees and wages he is costing them around 95k a week. Wow! As someone put it, he is costing them more each week than our full starting back four on Saturday. Now, I'm no expert, but I know who I would rather have in my team.

22 Oct 2020 09:45:13
Seriously BMGHO1
Why do they think he was worth that
That’s crazy if true would surely. Make him highest paid player in league?
No wonder Maurice hit an nerve haha.

22 Oct 2020 10:12:09
The guy who posted added together the loan fee of 2m and his weekly wage of 45k over the 40 weeks he will be at celtic which works out to be 95k a week. Money well spent, not!
