Ally McCoist said he would go back into the transfer market after being left embarrased by Rangers display in a draw with Berwick Rangers.
Make sure its players with a bit of quality who are prepared to dig in and get results home and away, and play them in their proper position.We sign a right back/centre back and play him at left back today.

A quality addition would be Rudi Skacel if he is available.

Will Green give Ally any money to spend? Hes bought duds up to the present.

So he doesn't think these players can improve? He needs to buy others?
Some vote of confidence there.
No thought has gone into each player and his style of play, his strengths, his weaknesses..... It's all a huge mess.

You forget it's the 3rd division. What quality is going to drop to that standard. Easy the fans saying we need strength here and there but he's operating in the free market. The rangers can't afford to splash cash on quality. It's players attitudes and better manigerial skills that are required. Ally's better off staying away from the transfer market.

Op. Come on rudi played for one of those nasty spl teams who are utter crap now rangers have gone bankrupt. How about some more french unknowns who leeds rejected ? Thats the ticket. Come on ally.

Rumour has it ally is going play the 4-6-0 formation against top of the league Elgin next week.

26 Aug 2012 20:28:17
Everyone on here knows that every away game the home team are going to play like in a cup final. Sadly this glaringly obvious point seems not to have reached the management team. The same tactics that failed to get an away win in game one will not work in any other.

Refs are still playing well for yous though , that was shocking today , a point yous didn't deserve .

Look again at it ,forward had his forearm across alexander when ball came across blocking his run out ,its you that should be sponsoring spec savers doug t.s.o

What about the ref for you lot against Ross County.

And did you see the amount of times our boys got chopped down in midfield with the ref oblivious 5 yards away. Crappy, toothless performance from the blues but the ref did us no favors.

The interference of their GK was no worse than Little against Peterhead! Yet Little's goal was allowed to stand!

@1 an nxt you will be telling us all that a yellow card was the right call for the guy that hacked black down in the first 15 minutes away back to your own clubs site,another Tim obsessed with rangers

As we keep saying not obsessed but having a right good laugh. you know it makes sense.

@6: where does the writer of post 1 mention being a Celtic fan? Are you obsessed with labeling everyone who posts something you don't like a Celtic fan?

The only thing they're obsessed with is laughing at your club.

26 Aug 2012 20:20:04
this was by far the worst rangers performanchave ever seen in supporting rangers in 30 years

You never seen out team under the last
player legend manager then...i did were not that bad yet they stuck with greig till no one would go hope thats not ally,s plan too
he has no future now to many p@sh display,s.....the season books are in move him upstairs ,move the rest of the old boys act out and start again........les

Ally to be Director Football? Fpmsl

Look on the bright side ... its not rangers

26 Aug 2012 20:03:39
I might get shot down for this, but i dnt thk u can argue with the fact tht the performance and result 2day were shocking, Ally your tactics and your team selection are terrible, there is no passion, no desire, no ability and in general r team looks disjointed, Perry was poor, but played out of position, Black lacks the ability to influence the game and drive us forward, as for the football i dnt c y we cant just get the ball down and pass and move, against part timers ffs! Were is Kyle Hutton?! Le Jon WATP

Mccoist wont play hutton he dosent like him.but thinks broadfoots a footballer

After the kidnap lark last year in Edinburgh, Mc Coist has told him to change his lifestyle but i'm afraid he won't learn,they don't se eye to eye ! simple as that.

I said before players in the 3rd arnt the best but they are in it for the passion of the game you can pay 5 grand a week to spl players but you cant make them enjoy playing in the 3rd am a tim but how many players in the first and second would dream of playing for yous and show real passion

He doesn't like him? That's part of his problem. He needs to think what's best for thee team wins not who his mates are

26 Aug 2012 19:46:13
ask yourself this

will rangers improve with this management team in charge....or will we be here again sometime in the future
sorry ally...its time for you and the rest to go....les

Ur right ally just stands there with his arms folded ne's not got it

4th in the 3D aint bad for the franchise. You were excreted into existence a mere month ago and already you are hurtling up the league, what more do you want?

Figaro

This management team cant be allowed to sign anyone else as they cant get the one,s they have to string 2 passes together whoever is coming in must be the people who choose....maribor malmo,falkirk,peterhead,brechin.berwick.15pts lack of football skills,broadfoot playing for so long....are all coming together for a perfect storm for this management team...les

Ally has traded his independance when he took Greens offer of a percentage of shares in lieu of his SPL salary.

Can no longer be trusted - now part of the con

26 Aug 2012 19:11:11
Sorry my Hector friends, no excuses, no pre season, no forming a new team. Just blame Mr Mc Coist..... why can't you all be honest and admitt your team is rubbish, and not likely to reform until you stop buying has been journey men, and say enough is enough.

You need to take a five year break from thinking about any success, and build a youth team that might eventual reap some rewards, we did it at celtic, hence we have a good policy of buying low and selling high for our foreign players, and providing a good team of youth talent and purchases, that will dominate our league for the next few years.

Think your journey back will be long and hard, with maybe only the pawn shop cup to have as current in your trophy cabinet.

Timmie goa.

"We did it at celtic"- like it was a grand strategy from Scotland's perenial runners up!

Football's no rocket science. Gie all the "buy low, sell high" talk a rest.

It's early days after the most tumultuous period in the club's history. It may take a wee while to make progress. Ally has done plenty enough to have our faith for the present. He at least told it like it was when doing interviews. The team has to improve and it obviously will.

26 Aug 2012 18:59:28
I said once before on here that Durrant was a waste of space and got shot down cos he's Mr Rangers through.

I still say the same, even though I agree he is Rangers through just like Ally, but they are both in the wrong jobs.McDowell is in the same boat. There are others too at Ibrox living in the past, and sadly they need to go too ( Greig went at the right time !! )
Bringing in a manager who is used to dealing in bargain buys, Butcher or Davies come to mind, although I also admire greatly the Blackpool boss too, would be a good idea except for the real problem now is that there are 7 players already signed and probably 4 more to come, so any new guy would be stuck with them like it or not

We need to get shot of the backroom guys and give our youth coach the job of being no 2.

The revolution at Ibrox cannot be complete until everyone associated with the old club are shown the door.
McCoist, durrant and McDowell must go.
It was SDM and the old boards wish for McCoist to take over. Their wishes no longer matter.

Ian Holloway , are you on the drink m8t ? why would he leave Blackpool ? They're top of the Championship with everything going for them , you lot are 4th in SFL Division 3 wae f all going for yous ... duhhhh

I fear it'll get worse, as the pressure mounts, before it gets better.

No. 25 years of ally is the right thing.

26 Aug 2012 18:21:14
Each rangers players value has decreased even more now after today's result they are now worth a tenner each!mcCoist the 1st ever manager of the club now to be sacked! Watch this space I give him 4 or5 months

You didn't believe sir Mintys sh**e about never having sacked a manager, Alex mc Leish? He asked him to leave & gave PLG his job, never sacked him tho!

We're not talking about the old Rangers or you would find more than one manager has been ssacked

McLeish was sacked, John Greig was sacked, PLG was sacked,........loads were sacked...

Jock wallace was sacked
Davie White was sacked
Even Scot Symon was sacked

26 Aug 2012 18:41:40
I can't believe sandaza was ally's main signing target last January when we were still in SPL, chuck it now ally, p.s. don't sign anymore duds for the next manager to deal with ally.

26 Aug 2012 17:50:20
am sorry but the time is now for ally to go he aint a manager FACT he really hasnt a clue i have said this from day 1 and getting proved right TB

26 Aug 2012 16:59:34
Can someone tell me why we need a manager, assistant manager, first team coach, GK coach, fitness coach and players we're paying far too much to watch that UTTER P*SH. Ally, do the honourable thing and go.

Ally clearly has to sack some of his coaching team, starting with his number two.

Which one of those tactical geniuses decided to play a (very) right footed centre back at left back ?

@1 Ally is the one who needs to go. He picks the team afterall

26 Aug 2012 16:44:44
FFS Please go Ally. The way you've got the team playing is a Furkin disgrace. We can't keep possession for any more than 2 passes at a time and your route one mentality sucks. I feel sorry for all the Bears who are doing their bit for the club.

26 Aug 2012 16:41:54
Well, I would like to find something positive about us but can't relly think of anything. I don't wan't to come on and say we should get rid of our manager, 99% would feel the same, as he is Mr Rangers.
Sadly I now have to give my loyalty a timescale, say 4 weeks? if perfomances have not improved then he should call it a day before the axe falls. 4 weeks should be enough time for all players to be match fit and used to one another.
I hate to say it, but i don't think the improvement will come. The manager is tatically naive/poor, The team has been disjointed for well over a year now and is now incapable of playing a flowing passing game(something we should be aiming for but should already be doing)
Kevin Kyle may prove me wrong but i get a cold shiver when i hear his name mentioned on the tanoy.
I was hopefull that our style of play and tempo would have been changed along with our circumstances, this isn't going to happen for two reasons, 1.. the Manager doesn't appear capable of doing so.. and 2.. he doesn't appear to want to.
This for me is worrying as instead of building a youthful team with a blend of steel and flair that could pass and out score most teams of the park(Div 3 -1 at least) it appears to be a rush job getting bodies in and playing them whereever there is a gap, The carry on with playing players anywhere has been present since McLeish but has been on a new level since McCoist took over, this has to stop as soon as a new player is described as versatile i know that he will be playing all over the place and not just one or two positions either.
I believe that a good manager would have the current group of players playing far better than they have shown at present and the search for this person must start soon if there is no change in the issues mentioned.
Charles Green Is a very shrewd man and he will have one eye on the results/perfomance and another on a new manager(Of that there is no doubt)
I have thought of a few realistic targets who tick most of the boxes football wise.
Steven Presley and Billy Davis both can organize a team and both can play a passing game, the pitch today was crying out for a passing team to exploit the space and run into channels, there is no excuse to punt high balls in the air at every opportunity when the surface is decent, there would be an argument if it was succesful but it isn't.
I have played at semi pro/Military level and have coached in the past, There is something lacking or very wrong with the way we are lined up/playing with no apparent plan b never mind a c.
We as supporters have been tremendous so far and are a credit to the football club, however we are now on an even keel and we expect to be entertained, not by thrashing every team we play but by playing a good standard of football and at least being the superior team.
If a person who had never watched a Scottish game before and watched that today, they could have though the other Rangers were the team that had been demoted and kicked from pillar to post.
This is turning into a rant now, and i didn't want that. The timer is set for 4 weeks. I do still want my hero super Ally to succeed but i remain doubtful.
BR

Semi pro is not military level. My amature team pumps the military teams by double didgets all the time...

A first class and honest post

You were never demoted mate. The old Rangers Football club is being managed through liquidation by D&P.
The new Football Club, playing today is a new entry club to Scottish football. Playing (poorly) in the fourth tier.

To the fool who posted that the military get gobbed, he clearly has no knowledge about the command and service levels of forces football.... many of these players have played for and continue to play at a good level of professional football..... maybe his team might have played the local Ta or a smaller unit. He clearly has never been to Wembley to see the final of the joint Services tournament.

Timmie Goa.

He should walk now, today was an all time low, and for McCoist to blame the players was disgraceful!
I will keep my ST but wont go to any more games while hes manager.

Spot on post, the fans have shown amazing commitment to the club but the players aren't turning up in these away games and sorry Ally but there are too many foreign players in the team. BTW, Ally surely you have better tactics than humping a long ball up the park? That's meat and drink to div3 players

Wasn't going to reply to the person who Spoke about My football history, but here goes as I like to educate ignorant people.
When I said semi pro/Military would that not indicate two different levels? I wasn't always in the forces you know.
Also as mentioned above, there are loads of different levels in the military, I played at a highest level for my chosen service and i can assure you a pub team would find it very hard at that standard.
BR

The poster speaks for the realistic fans among us. We have been saying since the beginning of last season that Ally is tactically naive and devoid of ideas to change a game that ids going against us. Surely its not rocket science that we are calling out for wide players to get in behind teams and create chances for the forwards. He plays players out of position with regularity. I had grave doubts about Ally's abilities at the home tie with Malmo and I have seen nothing to change my mind. IMO if we hadn't gone into administration, he would have got the bullet. I admired his fortitude during our dark times. He will always be a legend to me, but Rangers Manager?....I think not. We should be watching The Barca of The Third Division.

Great post matey and like you, I'm eager for the legend that is super Ally to succeed. But, 4 more weeks of that toothless, uninspiring excuse for football is about all I can handle, If ally can't get his guys up for the battle, he's not good enough to lead them.

26 Aug 2012 16:23:23
I hate to join the bandwagon but as I posted a couple of weeks ago, forget what level we are playing at. Look at the way we approach any game, we play long ball and hope for the best instead of tight at the back, organised in the middle and pace and width up front. Football is a simple game and we need a manager who knows the basics and not necessarily a great player and a Rangers stalwart. Ally should be incorporated in any set up for seeing us through a difficult time, but maybe time for a good coach to take the reins.

26 Aug 2012 16:17:35
Exactly who assesses the trialists and on what basis do we sign them up ?
We sign them because " they showed up well at Murray park" ??
Well there must be something in the water elsewhere is Scotland, cos once we put them in a Gers shirt and play them, they turn out to be " not so good" after all.

My theory is that they ARE good players, but are all feeling " thrown in at the deep end ". Decades ago ALL new signings waited their turn while getting up to the correct fitness, then they were blooded one or two at a time. Not now, we just dump them in, and expect them to fit in, different languages, different cultures,all living from hotel rooms.
Bolloks, we just DONT have a clue about MAN MANAGEMENT.

Can't trialists be played in league games in the SFL? That would give a true reflection of their ability at this level. If they make the excuse of not wanting to play in case of injury then are they worth it?

26 Aug 2012 16:00:27
Today was absolute dross. I have yet to be convinced about Ally as a manager but let's be honest, with the players we have we should be beating these teams by plenty. I understand that it is the manager's job to motivate players but even without a manager and no motivation they should hump these teams.

The attitude is totally wrong, and they have admitted
that they thought they just need to turn up. Well this attitude has to change, they are not guaranteed anything unless they work for it. There is no pace to our game and these are full time players against part timers, they should run over the top of them. It is no use winning by four or five at Ibrox they need to do it every game.

There is however no doubt that we need several players, as there is no chance of winning div two with these players. We need pace please, please , please!

26 Aug 2012 15:44:59
As mentioned by an earlier poster it is beginning to seem like the gulf between Celtic and Rangers right now is growing, income, quality on the park etc etc. This will be all the more concerning for Gers fans if there are a few more performances like today.

Then something interesting will happen.

As the gulf becomes a chasm I feel that suddenly Rangers, from board member to fan, won't be too squeamish about the introduction of an SPL 2. It cuts presumably one less season off the quest to return to the SPL. And then, irony of ironies, the shoe will be on the other foot and suddenly Rangers fans belief in "sporting integrity" will come under the spotlight.

It seems nearly every utterance from Ibrox or its fans in the past year or so has came back to bite you in the ass at some future point, why would this one be any different?

But Green said that Rangers would be on a better financial footing than Celtic come the end of the season! He couldn't have been talking rubbish, surely?

We don't play in the same leagues, so i for one am not bothered what Celtic are upto - if they are getting better then good luck to them, it has no interest for me, unlike many of the Celtic posters on here who are no doubt obsessed with Rangers as they can't stop talking about us.

Why does the press keep calling Rangers
the Glasgow giants.If Elgin win next saturday will they be real giantkillers.And why do they describe all football players as aces.You only have to look at the present lot.Utter mince.

@2: obviously banter means obsession to you and many others. Don't tell me if the situations were reversed and Celtic were in D3, loads of Rangers fans would be on their site winding their fans up?

@2 It's not obsession mate it's just that your club is on its arse ...BIG time and us Celtic fans just love it so we come on here just to let you know. Just the way you would if it was the other way about.

Briggs

I think league construction will happen.They are bound to introduce an SFL4 to accommodate sevco as they will be
relegated (for the first time) and not be
invited this time.

@4: If the roles were reversed I'd like to think I'd have more to worry about than Rangers and more going on in my life than to spend my time being a troll on another teams site!

@4. Maybe they would but i'm not one of them. I don't go to the Celtic pages or post on them, as i've said i'm not interested in them, only Rangers. I get enough grief in my household as my son and wife are Celtic fans, whereas I'm a Bluenose. Banter becomes boring when fans from other teams continually bleat on about the same thing over and over again, ie Tax, EBT, Sevco etc etc. These pages used to be a good laugh with banter between the fans regarding matters on the pitch and i for one would like it to go back to that, and Good luck against Helsingborgs.

@8: many Rangers fans do go on the Celtic pages; admittedly not as many now but a year ago they were on in their hordes continually bleating on with 'mind the gap' etc. Did you find that banter boring too?

26 Aug 2012 15:40:45
surely to goodness we have in the youth set up, or can buy in cheaply a couple of guys that have some skill(esp with the division we are in) something rangers have lacked for years.we need guys that take on and beat players and score spectacular goals. we seemed to have found one last year in
so they are out there. surely we could get burke, or mccormack back for not too much dough

Have to agree with you/ Watched Celtic totally dismantle Caley Thistle yesterday & give a young lad a chance upfront - which he took and then some..

If Tony Watt was in the Rangers squad Ally likely wouldnae give him a game and instead sign some jobber from abroad.

Well that's what you get for not developing or focussing on a youth squad for your club, instead of investing in a quality youth development squad which could have been of great importance to yous now your former club decided to use money to buy older guys which all added to your demise. Not saying that to have a go at yous but just shows how proper clubs run, cause if you did that I'm sure yous would still be around with your old club

All of our best youth players left last season

@3 that is why I said youth system, meaning if some go you have others in place working thier way in the club. I could tell you how to do it ut I won't just give you the answers lol. Look at Celtic, lost maybe the highest profile talented player in Islam fruez but then look at the players in u20 u18 and all the tourneys we go to and how we win year after year the youth league. When you have that you know your a proper club and when you lose a good player one can step in.

26 Aug 2012 15:33:55
need a new manager who knows what he is doing get terry butcher, derek adams or stuart mccall. And before i get slated for not being a 'true fan', i think that we deserve better if we are coming all over britain to watch our team but instead we are shown garbage. Super Ally time to go, last season you were caught out in europe and dont cut it. cheerio.

No no let him stay and sweat it out for 6 years.

Imagine people all over the UK watching that match.I wonder if anyone watched it through.God I hope not.Utter cr@p.Although
Berwick were good.

26 Aug 2012 15:12:18
I'm a Celtic fan but the disallowed goal was the correct decision, if you see the replay from behind the goals you'll spot a Berwick player backing into Alexander and lets face it sneezing near a goalie these days is deemed a foul, so fair enough. However unlike last season with all the upheavals, Ally has absolutely no where to hide, he has the most expensively assembled Division Three team ever (wages wise if nothing else). Several hundred international caps worth of experience in his squad, all full time players with the best training facilities money can buy. Rangers most likely will win the league despite results like today but it will be a Pyrrhic victory at best with several casualties along the way you would imagine if performances like this continue.

Will this lead to some form of reality check for some of you? Anyone still hoping you draw Celtic in either Cup? Samaras or Forrest running at Perry, I'm salivating at the thought already.

Gaz

You might be a Celtic fan but you dont know anything about football if you think that decision was correct,joke ref could not blow quick enough,most bears on hear agree very lucky to get that decision

Look I was gutted it wasn't allowed, saw the replay, saw him stick his arse out to block Alexander. Was it soft, of course it was but it happens all the time, it being correct doesn't make it a good rule, so it is you who needs a good understanding of football not me. If a player takes off his shirt to promote McMillan Cancer and another takes off his top to promote a bookies,their both yellow cards, doesn't matter if one should be applauded the other criticised. If players, fans and nuggets like yourself don't know how well protected goalies are by now then more the fool you. Soft yes, technically a foul yes, plus which I liked he was quick, instant decision, was he always gonna make it possibly but how many fouls did we get for the same thing regards Forster midweek, 6 or 7?

Gaz

I would let samaras run at me all day long and the clown wouldnt get passed

The " incident " was replayed over and over again and no one in the tv studio had a clue why it was disallowed even the esteemed Gordon Smith was baffled ...... but hey what do I know .? the paranoia just rips out me so it does .

Gaz, you are on the right site here,no one except you thinks it was a correct decision (even Smith was scratching his head), and yes he blew real quick almost before the foul took place,there is a difference between goalies being protected and that today,if you cant see that them I am wasting my time debating with you

@3, sounds like you could get a game for Helsingborg.

A hard fast rule I have is look at the goalie on the replays after a foul like that. probably 10 fouls committed boths ways during any corner but refs aways look for the goalie one first, slightest bump, whistle goes.

Gaz

Samaras couldn't run for the ice cream van never mind at a defender without making an arse of it LOL

@8: didn't he score the other night?

Re: those making comments about Samaras - let me tell you all something, if 'the Rangers' had a player like Samaras just now, he'd be their most valuable player by millions of pounds. Having said that, he'd probably have done what the rest of the players did and walk away when Rangers died.

@5 I've watched enough football over a good number of years to appreciate a number of things:
1) Rarely do wee teams get a contentious decision against a big team.
2) A foul in the box from a corner goes for the defending team probably over 95% of the time.

That late in the game a Berwick player looking at Alexander the wrong way was getting penalised, was it pre-meditated ie was the ref probably intent on blowing? Possibly. But and Berwick are surely savvy enough to realise this, one player did slightly block him (watch it from the behind the goal angle again.) It's a crap, soft decision but given the lack of small team decisions, given the protection to the defending team, reality is attacking teams need to be squeaky clean in there to either score or get a foul decision in their favour, I've never once in this post said it was right. Just that sadly it is the realities of football and currently how referees work.

Off the top of my head I can think of one pen given to the attackers, as in can name the game, players involved etc. Chris Sutton fouled by Ciro Ferrera 4-3 Celtic v Juventus. They are like hen's teeth those decisions going for the attacking team.

Gaz

I think 3 and 8 have conveniently forgot Samaras cracking cross for Commons goal too. Clearly far happier with Sandaza.

Gaz

A cracking cross? So that's what you want from a striker. God forbid he score a few goals. 8 Goals in two and a half seasons and 60 games for man city? Not a good record for a striker. They must have needed oxygen to bring themselves round when sellick paid £3million for him. To put it into perspective, Healy scored as many goals as Sammy did last season, and Healy started about a 1/5th of the games...and people call him a dud.

Re:13 - Celtic only paid £1.1m for Samaras. Get your facts right before you spout.

26 Aug 2012 14:57:23
I hate to imagine what will happen to us if/when we come up against SPL teams, especially Celtic in cup competitions.

We'd get an absolute tanking! Celtic would have a field day with us.

The scary thing is, we've got none of the resources that Celtic have got anymore, international scout system, world class training ground etc (these are all things that have been cut back).
The gap between us and the top is only going to get bigger as the years go on. The future doesn't look too bright at all.
The only plus is that in what Charles Green has done, we've got something to cling onto.If we had been just liquidated and didnt reform us we'd have nothing.

Celtic reserves would beat us just now, I don't even think Lennon would play first team in league cup.

Why do we continually have celtic fans posing as rangers posters on here? Why the sudden infatuation with the 3rd division? Oh that's right you are still obsessed by rangers!

1) I disagree, I think he'd put out his best team and go for an absolute mauling.

Gaz

Its because no one likes you, but surely you don't care? plus its like a car crash everyone slows down to watch.

26 Aug 2012 14:52:33
If it wasn't for Andy littles goals we would be out both cups and bottom of sfl3, come on ally chuck it now.

Little to transfer before Friday.

I can't see Ally be so stupid as to let him go to be honest though I've heard this rumour from a mate too.

Lets face it he is crap anyway. He has had a good start to the season but is still rubbish.

26 Aug 2012 14:48:44
what is the point of giving mccoist any more players
he does not know what to do with them.....get ross county,s manager in or someone with a future because ally has none the european results and now this
ally you,ve served your purpose we,ve got our season books now....need to play football...when was the last time rangers played good football.....les

Ally is a jinx a Jonah..

Why would Ross County's manager leave his club for division 3?

2)

More money? Just a guess!

Why would any of the players who have signed for us leave their respective clubs for div 3? Oh wait I'm sorry, you're clearly one of the obsessed, I should have known you'd have no logic behind it. My apologies.

@3: I doubt Derek Adams would do that - not for a second time after his ill-fated spell with Hibs as assistant.

@4: how many players have left clubs to sign for Rangers in D3? Haven't they all been free agents?

Enough with the 'obsessed' guff: that's a lame response to banter you don't like. Lame and lazy and suggests there is quite a low limit to your intelligence if you can't think of anything better.

26 Aug 2012 14:43:42
Well there will be a queue of SPL , EPL and Championship players forming now to play for Rangers. How can any former internationalist not want to be associated with this debonaire, cavalier, panache drenched style of play that Super Ally is cultivating. Barca beware.

Aye barca beware coz celtic are coming to win the champions league ...

The DR have the brass neck to call Mighty Berwick the 'Wee Rangers'....what an insult!..Super Wally please sign that 25 year contract now :)

@1: jealous much?

Poster 1 - im not a celtic fan, if that was a dig Ii support the second oldest team in glasgow, founded in 1876, 13 years after queens park and 12 before celtic. Oh, and 136 years before The Rangers FC.

Poster 4 who is you support then ? auchenshuggle wanderers lol doug t.s.o

THE LONG BALL HAS TO STOP! If Paul Le Guen was still in charge we would of passed our way round that team.

If Paul le Guen was there we would still be in div three but we would have got relegated year after year. You have a short memory PLG was utter garbage

PLG came into a team and tried to change the whole way we play football, pass and move, he wasnt a success because he tried to change the whole culture, fitness, everything. he had the right idea but scottish football is just so far back in the stone ages it wasnt possible.

Paul le Guen was not garbage. He tried to make your previous team play football but your supporters were more focused on other issues concerning him.

I dread to think what deluded and deranged comments Charles Greem will come out with now.
He's going to need to do something pretty quick and I'd start by giving Alistair his P45.
He should be ashamed to wear that blazer.

I think we need a manager who is experienced at this lowly level, Jim Leishman? John Lambie?

With the players we've brought in its hard to conceive that John "Bomber" Brown isn't still our chief scout!

John Lambie never managed a team in the 3rd division.

26 Aug 2012 14:31:06
yet another player brought in and played OUT OF POSITION.

The Greek lad is a central defender OR a right back. so of course Ally plays him at LEFT back.

Just not good enough Ally.

It's gonna be a LONG COLD winter i'm afraid

Aye and wait and see how many fans turn up then.standing in the cold biting winds,rain,snow,tae watch that sh..te

McCoist is one bad result away from the Sack . If Berwick's disallowed goal had stood - he would be off !

The goal was good absolutely nothing wrong with it. Disgraceful.

Ally needs to sack his number two.

How many bad results does he have to have before he get the bullet? He has had far far too many. Time to go Ally.

26 Aug 2012 14:20:08
Joke display. Centre backs slow, Perry was poor. Little anonymous. No quality. We should have lost. Berwick outplayed us. Away days going to be a struggle if we play like that. Too many long balls AGAIN!

Rory

Never mind your most consistant player the man in black played a blinder

What a shambles!!

OP Agree.It gets worse.Couldn't keep the ball or pass.You've got to give cerdit to B.Rangers---they were far the better team,even though they are part-timers.Shocking.Was angry when I watched but am fuming now.Money wasted on these players.No one tried!Seen more effort from kids in the park!

26 Aug 2012 14:14:43
congratulations on scraping a draw against the big rangers today, luckily they had a legitimate goal chopped off right at the death...phew!

this Diet Rangers are certainly ripping up the lowest league in the land....yoo arra peeepo!!


taco

Taco should concentrate on his own team who should hope to be beaten by helsingborg on wednesday to save them from the brutal hammerings theyll take in the chamions league

Youve got to be in it to win it. Hail Hail.

@1) Read over what you posted. Yes thats right champions league, if we get beaten in all our games so be it, but you and I know thats not going to happen. 15 - 20 million coming in and fantastic Euro nights at Parkhead as opposed to next to hee haw coming in and Elgin City at Ibrox. Which would you choose? You are laughable.

26 Aug 2012 14:12:49
Sorry ally as a player you were up there with the best, as a manager your not. Time to go.

Just watched the Berwick game. We are utterly pathetic. We have no pace in team except for Little and McKay. No creativity in midfield, and still woefully lacking in firepower up front.

We should have lost that game. Ref did us a massive favour in the end.

I'm not one of those who wants McCoist to step aside, but I think it's time he enlisted some help. He needs someone next to him that knows the lower levels of Scottish football, and someone that can give him tactical advice!

Again, starts with a Right back at Left back & a Centre half at Right back. We are playing 3rd division football. Play the Right back in his normal position, put Perry into centre and put Boca on the Left (it's where he used to play)

Also, Ally's tactics need help. After they levelled, his reaction was to bring on Kyle & Naismith. Two big guys to hump the ball up to and by pass midfield completely. Only problem is, by doing that, it actually made BERWICK a better team! They instantly had more possession and could break on us at pace.

Bing in some flair wingers, a creative central midfielder and bring in a coach or assistant to help you. Your still a novice and need to learn how to read a game!

Bringing someone in will totally undermine him, either change him or go with him.
Perry was beyond awful today.

A couple of snippets from the bbc website:
'With players of that pedigree, it seemed strange to see Rangers resort to the kind of long-ball game more associated, perhaps unfairly, with their Third Division rivals.'
'There was still time for Townsley to head home from close range following a corner only to have it chopped off by referee Mike Tumilty for a mystery infringement.'
boycott anyone ?

Still a novice hes not 21 ya muppet hes being hiding behind smith for years. Loads more experience than Lennon but resorts to playing dinasour football

26 Aug 2012 14:09:05
Ally's interview after the game is laughable, I'm pissing myself at him and I'm a rangers fan.

26 Aug 2012 14:07:55
So Ally thinks he only needs 4 or 5 players then he's not fit for purpose like some of his players he needs a lot more than that. We have now played Brechin Peterhead and Berwick all away and not won one and to be honest if it wasn't for Alexander and the ref today it would have been a defeat.

I've said it last year and I'll say it again mccoist has not got a clue. Now I know Sandaza done very little today but to take him off and put on Kyle we would have been better wae Jeremy Kyle. Emilson this guy will get found out also not good enough. As for Perry you all slag Broadfoot but he's better than Perry and thats saying something. McLeod a young boy I'll grant you that but again not good enough.

No width in the team if mccoist had any sense he would be out making a right winger and left winger a priority as well as an attacking creative midfielder.

Today was nothing short of embarrassing rant over

He had players from 6 countries on there today, in berwick, in effin berwick.

26 Aug 2012 14:07:00
3 games in, 4th in the league, 4/9 points lost. So much for breezing up the leagues then.

26 Aug 2012 14:02:32
Ally hasn't got what it takes to get this new fitba club up and running!

25 year contract for him?!?

Total joke!

Ally Will be here 23 years more than Mr green then?

26 Aug 2012 14:01:20
Can anybody really say Berwick were not the better team?Alexander saves the day then a disallowed goal.Super Ally? Dont make me laugh.

26 Aug 2012 14:00:03
Good afternoon dear The Rangers fans, have you got your excuses at the ready.

Waiting on your replies.

Timmie Goa.

The wall-papered over cracks are showing. cue scarf throwing etc. it could have beem worse it could have been morton or the jags or one of the other big boys lying in wait. i'm going to have to get a ton of popcorn in for this season cos when the celts are giving it large we can tune into this comedy show.

26 Aug 2012 13:57:08
Shocking absolute shocking if we ir guna play like that away from home then we ir guna get spanked in the cups from spl sides how many times does kevin kyle need to fall to the floor

Kevin kyle i just dont know where to start regarding him at least 2/3 stone o/w im surprised his shorts & top didn,t split what an embarrassment so sad.

26 Aug 2012 13:56:08
Righty-ho bhoys, we know it's coming. Do your worst.

Lol OP and very prophetic I'd imagine.

Gaz

It would help if you could spell BOYS correctly!

TTG

OP Well there IS nothing to say.You saw it all for yourself.'Lucky' Gers again----to get the winning goal disallowed (Why?) No,there is no comment that can be made--it was a joke.It was an embarrassing show for all Gers fans.

Great. kept your sense of humour. on a helpful note, ally mcoist is a really bad manager. otherwise, this is the best laugh ever. i sometimes go on rangers media and soak up the vitriolic bigotry and general stupidity on show to the whole world on there before having a look in here, it helps to keep any sympathy i may feel at bay. the long drawn out self-inflicted destruction of rangers has been like watching a hari-kari suicide gone wrong and the twitching screaming victim no longer has the energy to end it but must linger in agony. that is where rangers are. they did well to avoid defeat to a better side today.

@2: aren't Celtic known as 'The Bhoys'?

26 Aug 2012 13:54:36
McCoist has got to go and go now!

As long as he leaves his 4.5% behind.

26 Aug 2012 13:43:45
Who said perry was the best right back we had? Stay off the drugs mate he was woeful today!

26 Aug 2012 13:34:29
Still not sure about McCoist's managerial abilities.

Too meny new players and too many changes in the team are the main reason we are not firing on all cylinders.
Where is Hegarty today ? why no Broadfoot today ? McCullough doesn't know where he is playing and only one up front against BERWICK ?? c'mon for god's sake
No wonder we are getting sh*t on the park.

26 Aug 2012 13:25:53
Ally needs to go now...

How can he have a % of Rangers shares? Conflict of interests... Simply not good enough from any of the players today.

Maybe oglvie and who ever else in sfa/spl that are already in a conflict of interest can buy a share to help you out some more?

26 Aug 2012 13:20:28
so far what ive seen today up front sandazzas is pants..shields not much better

You clearly weren't watching then because Shiels wasn't playing

Sheils was'nt playing muppet

Oh wit a riddy.Wee gers were robbed.Another ref blunder?I don't think so.
Now do you still believe McCoist is a manager.Every player he has signed has been woeful.What about that belly on big
Kyle.And sanddancer whit a numpty.

26 Aug 2012 12:50:07
What's the script from Ally? Back to the old Rangers ways of smoke and mirrors and half truths and downright lies?
Ally goes on record yesterday saying he doesn't want restructuring to include rangers getting into SPL early.
Today Sebastien Faure is on record saying Ally told him during recruitment that newco will be back in SPL in 2 years.
Is Ally back being delusional and mixed up? Or is he in on a conspiracy? His 4.5% would be worth a lot more in the SPL.

Been posting for months,Ally works to his own agenda,always has.

26 Aug 2012 12:15:52
I hear all the old songs have come with the other parts of the oldco that Green bought.

When is the club going to do something about this element of the support? It's bringing shame on the club and these morons who are stuck in the past need to be dragged into the present or told to stay away.

Unfortunately it is a problem that will plague Scottish football most likely forever. I recently heard another Scottish team singing songs mocking a football players disability, and as you said some of the old bigoted songs were being sung.

Solution: more police videos and arrests.
Fans should use their phones to capture them and get it on YouTube.
Peer pressure. Starting with criticising them in here.

OP here. I agree that all clubs have this element and with the solutions suggested by #3. However, this should be seen as an opportunity for a break from all that nonsense - a fresh start with songs about football, not bigoted garbage.

OP again.

@2: one issue with your youtube solution now I think about it: wouldn't some of the neanderthal morons (from all teams' support) think that being on youtube singing bile was some sort of badge of honour?

26 Aug 2012 12:13:53
10 mins in and its been high balls since first min, chuck it ally you would get football stopped.

Ally just not got a clue

Ally has announced rangers don't do winning away. See you have ref's in your pocket even against the wee team's.
