Rangers Banter Archive October 28 2016

28 Oct 2016 20:32:33
Irrespective of players - formations - managers - tactics, what is clear is more physicality needs to be added to the Rangers squad. I've lost count of the times Rangers players are simply brushed off the ball. Scott Brown was made to look much better than he is because he is simply stronger than his opponents in blue.

Fitness, for what ever reason we are lacking in that area.

Now that it's been established that Celtic will walk the league this year what should our expectations be? Personally I expect to beat teams like St Johnstone! Let's be honest, they have no quality to speak of and are fielding duds like Ricky Foster. For me these teams have less quality than the Falkirk or Hibs teams last year and although Aberdeen are better, only by a small margin. Their best player, imo, is a kid on loan from Norwich! If we improve, even a bit, I think we will take 2nd!

That being said I would stick with Warburton whether we finish sixth or second for a few reasons. Firstly, I would not even consider replacing him with any of the names we've been linked with in the past ten years as they are simply no better! We can't afford better! Secondly, the ethos he's installed and his vision has brought warmth to my heart after years mistreatment and abuse. Win, lose or draw I'm behind the man as long as he believes. I honestly pity those who are crying for Big Eck or Walter to save us! We've all been stood here holding our nerve for years so let's hold it for a bit longer and the good times will come!

Speaks volumes for your knowledge of football and your respect for the league to be honest.
Aberdeen and Saints are miles better than hibs and Falkirk, the league doesn't lie.
1 min u say celtic will walk the league and u obv mean miles better than anybody but diss Aberdeen who are 2nd, makes no sense.
Your own team are no better than saints etc, RESULTS have proved this, you may say we will get better yada yada yada but can't saints say the same.
EVERYONE says once the league settles down after everyone played each other once tells you where u are.
This is where u are.

28 Oct 2016 20:34:26
Listen up motorgub, don't you bother your arse with us! that's for us to do. I haven't got a shred of doubt that we'll come good once we adapt and imo we'll finish in the top 3!Bother about your own club OBSESSED! You and many like you just prove what i and most bears have thought all along, 'ITS ALL ABOUT THE RANGERS'!

28 Oct 2016 21:22:45
Aye nae bother supercooper! This is the guy who before last Sunday's game couldn't stop going on about Scott brown this and Scott brown that! And u have the cheek to say anyone else is obsessed! How did Scott brown do in that game by the way? Seem to mind u mentioning Halliday would easily deal with him! Really was a bit different eh! lol.

28 Oct 2016 23:06:41
Yes i did say that, hindsight is a wonderful commodity wiss81.Answer me this OBSESSED. Why do you come on to these rangers pages? Stay on your own pages with your own mob ya muppets! Put it this way, you wouldn't catch me on your pages, why because you's don't ****in' interest me! Simple as that! Its all about 'THE RANGERS'!

28 Oct 2016 23:51:46
To be honest I come on here for a laugh! And the reason u don't come on our pages is because there ain't a thing for yous to come on and gloat about! And let's not pretend otherwise! If u did by chance have something to gloat about u'd be on in a shot! Lol.

28 Oct 2016 23:57:13
wiss 81, so your team earn 20 million off the champions league but how of that goes on wages for duds like ambrose and koula, your 2 keepers also, its a toss up which 1 is the worst no wonder gers chased gordon.

29 Oct 2016 01:08:11
It's a toss up who's worse between our 2 keepers! Refresh my memory, how many have u scored against these 2 poor keepers this season? And u chased Gordon! At least if your going to come on make sure u at least u speak half the truth! The big man knocked yous back as soon as the champs came calling! LolAnd koula, I'm assuming u mean big toure? The same big toure who's a double EPL winner with different teams who played in a major European less than 6 months ago, that the dud u mean? Yes he's had his CL mistakes, that's champions league by the way incase u didn't know! But I seem to remember him with the pipe and slippers on in paradise last month round about the last time Barton was seen! Now there's a real dud for u! Lol.

29 Oct 2016 08:30:21
if you think Richie foster is a dud people will question your knowledge. okay he wasn't exactly Alan Hutton but how many games did he play for Aberdeen? for us? I seem to remember him slotting in against man utd and spotting Lisbon and being one of our best players.

29 Oct 2016 12:05:16
Wiss: I would have thought a certain 7-0 score would have been a bit of schadenfreude.

29 Oct 2016 12:30:16
wiss face facts what's the point of celtic being in the champions league if they are going to make the rest of scottish football a laughing stock by their attempts to get some results, champions? call yourself that when you reach 55 titles, your last few titles are tainted as you haven't faced any real opposition from any of the scottish teams as regards your keepers i would say frank haffey would be a better option for your team, yes yousay you come on here for a laugh, well sorry to inform you thousands of us switch our tv on to watch celtics feeble european attempts and you know the old saying he who laughs last laughs longest ps. i don't go onto celtic pages either as i have more important things to do.

29 Oct 2016 12:38:28
Again I'll ask how many yous have scored against them? Forget messi Suarez and neymar! Can't believe I'm actually mentioning players of that ilk on here! Lol. your man made the point how bad our 2 goalies are and I'll ask again how many uve managed to put by them? And saying you chased big Gordon when that is a blatant lie! As your manager at the time said!

29 Oct 2016 12:39:08
wiss face facts but for kiernan s bad pass and senderos, s moment of madness in the 5-1 game the game would have ended up a score draw.

29 Oct 2016 13:05:31
wiss its not what rangers have scored against the keepers as you you keep reminding us we are a wee new team, its like celtic making the long trip along westmuir st to play shettleston juniors just as well the bottle work still isn't there as you would have been made to feel at home lol, its losing goals hen it matters, the thing is rangers will come good again and this is celtics and their fans biggest fear, there will be no fergus to bail you out the next time hogmany sevco govan v pacific shelf parkheid ( my birthplace )

29 Oct 2016 13:10:47
If it wasn't for a bad pass and senderos it would have been a score draw! Haha! Aye and if a match the winning lottery numbers tonite al be a millionaire! Only a fan on here could try and explain away a 5 going on 7 or 8 pumpin! lol. and I suppose if your keeper kept his legs shut on Sunday big dembele wouldn't have scored and you would have went on to win in extra time! Haha! And your seriously going to use the words tainted titles! Seriously? So what about this years title, which we're strolling to yet again, that tainted to! Lol. and u never mind the champions league pal, that's something u are nowhere getting to! What will be will be this year! We'll wait and see what happens when Brendan has another couple of transfer windows under his belt! Didn't do to badly in the last one I think!

29 Oct 2016 13:29:13
Not the point how we would have done v Barce, deal in reality you always say, deflect deflect. Still funny.

29 Oct 2016 13:35:45
hi wiss i don't know if you know it your team is playing today, in fact right now sky sports 5, they are struggling a bit maybe they need your support, but then again your a keyboard armchair fan, as for brendan he is getting found out when it comes to the big boys, just the same as wee strachan he will do a runner when the going gets tough, ps dembeles just put a shot into the north sea 74 minutes lol c'mon the dons this games got 1-1 all over it.

29 Oct 2016 14:36:16
Hahah Cooper you said literally yesterday you were certain of top 2 finish and we are down to top 3 already? You talk the most pish on this site.

29 Oct 2016 15:14:28
Aye big dim (apt name there) am well aware that we played and racked up another victory yet again! How did you manage up at pittodrie again? and u were convinced that that it had 1-1 written all over it! Have faith pal! Lol. and can type on here while watching the tele mate, it's quite easy actually! Haha! And no fergus to bail us out! Hahaha! We won't need wee fergus this time mate, our finances are in sound health and only going to get stronger! So fear ain't the emotion I'm felling, it's pure unbridled joy at where my club are and will continue u to be for years to come!

29 Oct 2016 18:28:06
wiss has now resorted to name calling, the way gers played today we would have ripped your defence to shreds , best thing you can do is go down to your pit hole of a pub on the gallowgate and have a game of dominoes ye ragin the night.

28 Oct 2016 14:38:20
Still believe Rangers are recovering and cannot expect to be best in Premier League immediately. Plus let's be honest players brought in on free and on cheap are not top notch.

28 Oct 2016 16:47:10
Really not against Warbs but i really think he needs to just stop being so stubborn and change formation when needed, 3 up front with a central striker is not what were wanting, we need to up front and we would have an extra man in middle of park.

28 Oct 2016 18:07:28
I honestly believe there's good players ther to work with but just struggling to adapt to the system. Garner for example is never a striker who plays upfront himself, he needs to play in a partnership, also not a big fan of Halliday but the boys never a cdm in a month of sundays.

28 Oct 2016 18:57:10
WhataTeam i know what your saying mate but we can all bang on abt formations and systems til we're blue in the face but bottom line is that MW will never change his formation as he made it clear from the second he walked thru the door that he wants the club to play 4.3.3 from the boys thru to the 1st team.

28 Oct 2016 14:23:53
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for Scotland.

28 Oct 2016 11:38:05
I've been trying to put a positive slant on the season so far. Here is our record for all league and League Cup matches played so far:

P17 W10 D4 L3 F32 A13

A win ratio rate of 59%. Only 3 defeats in 17 games isn't disastrous and those were to Celtic (twice) and Aberdeen - the last named we should have won. Draws against Hamilton, Kilmarnock, Ross County and St. Johnstone cost us 8 points.

I think we will finish second but Warburton now needs to field a settled team and find out why on earth so many of his new signings are injured!

28 Oct 2016 13:25:57
The difficult thing for us, is that we are Rangers. We aren't Hearts, Aberdeen or even St Johnstone. Teams have a different mentality playing us. they might set up the same way for us and Aberdeen but they have more determination against us naturally as we are the bigger name, I remember Ferguson said it once (Purely to wind up Keegan) Newcastle aren't a big team or a big name, Manchester United ARE, Teams come and play us and step it up a notch to get even a draw, when they play Newcastle it just isn't the same sort of game. That's the difficult thing for us, we are in my opinion the 2nd best team in Scotland, however we have the massive issue that teams will try that extra bit more against us.

28 Oct 2016 13:30:45
doiger great post mate, your putting things into perspective there, but your looking for a steedy starting 11, which has been Warburton's downfall so far, am with you there mate, steedy starting 11, and hopefully injury free, stick to the same team and give them boys a run of 8 to 10 games, and i'd bet we'll turn this around for the better.

28 Oct 2016 14:08:46
onlyshow that's been that way for years and as most managers would say I don't care how they set up against everyone else they should still be coming here and get sent home with 0 points.
for years rangers had the fear of these teams but now rthese teams believe they will get something against us and we need to go on a run of big wins to get that back.

I believe that we will click up front and that will happen I honestly do but we need less of these idiots shouting for the managers head.
its fans like that, that do more damage to their own club than they realise as it puts doubts in players heads and that affects perfomances.

we all need to get behind the team the way rangers fans should.

28 Oct 2016 14:21:32
That's right Onlyshow, teams don't put in the grit and determination against other teams like they do against us, even when they play Celtic other teams don't show the same level of of desire to win.

28 Oct 2016 14:35:40
DIfference is James, is that we had class players for years, we no longer do, for the next season or 2 we need to realise that we won't win every game, and will definitely draw and lose quite a few games in a season.

28 Oct 2016 18:14:49
100% onlyshow, we're not as good as years gone by but everyone still sees us as a massive scalp so the other teams play as if its a cup final but our players need to grasp that and quickly, this isn't Accrington, Preston, Wigan, Burnley there playing for now. Sometimes i don't even know if Warbs fully understands the sheer size of what he's got himself in for going by some of his pressers or he's just trying to take the heat off the players by being cute.
