At least ally can use the excuse of being tired due to a hard game in mid week like celtic. the players would have been knackered chasing part timers around for 90mins. I feel sorry for the true fans who spend a fortune travelling round scotland to get short changed. ally ahould send the players out on work experience to see what a real job is!was charles green wrong to ask for a bit more out the management and players?

See Ally blaming the windy conditions strange though as I didn't really notice the wind in Rangers favour in the 1st half. Sad state of affairs that a 37 year old with a bad knee can stroll through a game so comfortably. Marvin could play into his sixties if that's the level of opposition week in week out!

Lol is he blaming the wind again? He did that last season lol

He will blame everything bar himself at least other managers can be honest and say they got it wrong. It's unbelievable how deluded he is and how he can't see how bad a manager he really is. Is it his overinflated ego?

Mr McCoist hasn't got it and won't ever have it. A fantastic servant, a great forward and a man who stood by the club when times got hard and others were quick to jump ship but not a Rangers manager. Allowing for conditions and pitch surface the performance today was unacceptable. Poor tactics and an inability to change what wasn't working.

Agreed, but will this sentiment be reflected in the chants of supporters at games? I doubt it to be honest. I reckon the vast majority would agree with the OP but as with a lot of things at our club the majority are letting themselves be controlled by a bullish minority. I don't see fans being brave enough to call for his head. Shocking state of affairs though. He's displayed his ineptitude countless times for years now and still we accept his excuses without as much as a whisper.

We brought Nicky Clark on board from QOS because he scored 41 goals in this league last season and don't play him. If I was a Rangers Director I'd be asking questions.

Spot on and the sooner he goes the better. Woeful manager who is only there due to the troubles at the club. He like many of the directors has benefitted from what happened to the club and continues to take big wages under false pretences

After the embarrassment in the cup the manager and the players should have been up for the game from 1st minute. They should have steamrollered Forfar and played with commitment and determination. It's obvious Ally can't motivate the team and the attitude of some of the players has got to be questioned. A half decent team would have wiped the floor with Forfar

Today's statistics say it all Part time Forfar 8 attempts on goal full time Rangers 5 attempts on goal. Part time Forfar 58% possession full time Rangers 42%. Man of the match 37 year old Marvin Andrews considered not good enough for Rangers

@5 you missed the most important stat pal, the one that reads goals : rangers 1 forfar 0, how could you have missed it! GAFG

@6 You must have a great life so easy pleased- the only important statistic against Forfar a 1-0 win- Oaft!

marvin was allowed to leave because he had a serious injury you closet, the fact he played a blinder is neither here nor there, his contract was up he was allowed to go, god sum people, still if it made you happy, TB

@ 7 give me all the stats you want, 9o% possesion 45 goal attempts if no goals are scored the site would be in meltdown ffs we won, just because we didn't score fkn 19 goals, get a grip you can't be pele every week mate

Now I'm reading yet again our manager praising the opposition I'm getting sick and tired of it needs to be more ruthless never mind the other teams remember they all tried to destroy us Ally you need to get ruthless read these pagers the Bears are getting restless enough is enough no more mr nice guy. Harthill Bear.

Asolutely dreadful, but what is worse is Ally blaming the conditions for this complete garbage.

When are people going to realise that McCoist isn't good enough to take the club forward. Once again outplayed and hanging on against a part time team. Not one bit of football played today with too many players not fancying it and putting in sub standard performances.

He is good enough to get up to the top tier. That is all the board require. if they are interested. He is going nowhere, just accept it. W e all have ideas of who we want in, but it is not going to happen.

@2 agreed but when we get back to the top league what then? Could be a lot more pain and the 9 in a row will probably be beaten.

@2) there has to be entertainment and stylish football, value for money. Fans have put in 35m since the liquidation and reform. They don't deserve "all the board wants. " He should be replaced.

Ally blaming the conditions? If he thinks that's a strong wind wait till Arbroath in the winter, what a terrible excuse from a useless manager, never mind the top league I don't think we will win division 1 next season under ally after watching queen of the south out play us.

Still unbeaten in the league we can't ask for anymore

@1 supporters are entitled to better performances and the highly paid players being able to do the basics. Sadly very few managed that today and the passing and shooting from some players was woeful. We have a full time professional team struggling against part time players aren't you in the least concerned about that?

Drastic display today from the team, was disappointed with how we resorted back to the long ball game of last season, especially on such a windy day.

We should have had clark & mckay in from the start. Playing two lb's when we had 2 wingers on the bench made no sense at all. Also, with clark up top with little, we would have kept it on the deck more. Long balls into dods & andrews? Great decision. Last but not least, ricky foster. Rant over.

BlueNose.

Foster is woeful, Smith not much better. Midfield duo were totally over run again today similar to the QOS game. Never ever thought I would say this but Black should go straight back into the team on Saturday along with McKay

We are missing Macleod big time.

Peralta very poor today, thought the team really missed black and macleod today also don't think foster enhances our team any and would have persisted with mccausland in there. bt

What is wrong with rangers is it lack of confidence in their own ability or is it because Ally has no self belief and its manifesting itself on the team. don't help when players are played out of position. I would like to see Ally take a chance stop being negative and just go for the jugular how will he ever learn or the team for that matter if we keep putting out a team to contain rather than attack, I would rather the opposition were worrying about how they are going to contain us.

Stevie Smith still can't pass woefull he'd have trouble passing his own water but he's. one of the managers boys now so he'll get a game regardless and the young will get fed up and move on and trick Ricky Foster is as bad need to make changes because its mince pure mince.

80mins gone & Templeton still wants to tip toe & Dilly Dally. This young lad is just a passenger when it comes to the nitty gritty games. BIG BILL.

He made littles goal and also cleared off the line

@1 come on, he done nothing, Darren dodds made little's goal and my 5 year old could've cleared that off the line.

@1 spot on mate he did 2 positive things today which is 2 more than the majority of the team. He has hardly played this season and deserves to be given a chance.

@2 the way some of the players passed the ball today then Templetons pass to Little for the goal was a positive plus never known someone to be ridiculed for clearing the ball off the line. Would you rather he just let it go?

I've just watched the first have of Forfar v. Rangers on ssn 3. I can't believe McCoist can remain manager for much longer. £1 million per year? The man has no tactical skill. Away against Forfar and playing one out and out striker up front in Daly. The team looks edgy and although they are 1-0 up, didn't deserve the goal. Only Law and Wallace looked anything like Rangers material. Why is McCoist playing Stevie Smith in midfield? Why did he sign him in the first place? Get Nicky Clarke on alongside Daly and bring on Barry McKay for Smith. Really disappointing performance.

Are you seriously saying Nicky law is having a good game?

This is woeful. Marvin Andrews strolling through the game. Law slightly less than anonymous and why is Smith playing left midfield. More baffling stuff from the inept one

Back to last seasons standard. Hopefully just a blip and we get the win. Letting Forfar dictate, not a good idea.

Since Law has officially signed he has been terrible. Daly just looks like a big lump of wood and not sure who was worse Foster or Smith? No wonder Ally is looking for another centre half as neither of our 2 could cope with the high ball. Utter rubbish served up today very lucky to get the points.

To be honest, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a Rangers game. McCoist won't do. He's had good players, bad players and now mediocre players. The football has been non-existent, the tactics the same. I know we are top of the league, but I like most punters ccalled who should be subbed half an hour before he did. Wouldn't have grudged Big Marv an equaliser.

Whats all this Timmy conspiracy crap about Celtic fans wanting Ally out. ? when are you going to realise the only people wanting Ally to go are Rangers fans the " wee green mob" as you call them want Ally on the 25 year contract that was promised Ally is the best thing ever to happen for Celtic fans. johnnyG.
oh and as for the betting on Celtic to lose all CL games the green mob are eternally grateful for your clubs signing policy with paying large wages for spfl quality players against part timers as it is a banker for a host of bets on Rangers to win these games and make money. not great odds I grant you but a win off the bookies is always welcome. ( not the cup games though) that would be just silly.

Rangers minus 1 goal / 2 goals has won me a small fortune this year. Same will apply again today Rangers to win away to Forfar minus 1 is 4/7 and minus 2 is 7/5. Its easy money. The bookies clearly feel McCoist will sooner or later somehow manage to pick a team or make the substitutes that will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I personally can't see it. Revenge today by 3 or 4 goals.

It is gers fans who want rid the team is out and we can see the kids disappearing, he is now also saying he will need millions to catch Celtic. The man is clueless, if he gave the kids a chance with some old heads working up through the leagues he would save millions, in wages and trans fees (when we get to the SPL) but his head is either up his backside or in cloud cuckoo land. We are taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut, because he is tactically niave, on Tues he had to go back to 4 5 1 as the team were getting passed of the park by QOS again

@1 I take it you lost a small fortune last season then?

The time for winning bets is approaching. The rangers will drop points between Nov and Feb. It's just picking the games. The other teams are starting to find the weaknesses. All the coaches will have spotted some today. I'd look for matches away to top half teams and home to top third when odds are above 4-1. Bet celtic or another good team at home to win and half of that against the rangers to lose to hedge. When the inevitable happens you'll get a return. Another one is a cup draw against a premiership team, odds will be skewed due to high numbers of bets on your team.
The prophet.
