Rangers Banter Archive February 02 2013

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


02 Feb 2013 22:57:59
Very disappointed and hurting big time. What was disappointing about today was there was no fight when we went behind, when we rarely had the ball in the final third we were poor. Was very disappointed with Templeton, Little, Black and Perry in particular, we needed experience today these guys were awful. Ally is an awful manager must go now, knocked out of 7 cups in two seasons. Its sad because that's the season over for us just pointless games now. Ally and his players let the fans down today bigtime! Gowdy54

Believable23 Unbelievable4

We don't do walking away. but they did sneaked away behind our backs sneaked away with there pay packets no bothered much at all, affronting us across the nation live on tv tv
at least we could tell other people that the football is ok, but now everyone knows how poor we are. Les

Agree14 Disagree5

And many, many of you walked away from Tannadice.

Agree15 Disagree10

Black is a waste of a shirt, his smirking as h left the pitch shows he's not and never will be a Gers man. He (by the look of it) is here for the easy ride. The others you mention you can put down to a bad day at the office however being a yard off the pace for 90mins if f*cking unaceptable. What the hell do they do in training other than "play tig" to quote a friend. Thid game was hyped up for weeks. Our players were left bereft of ideas and sadly lacking. however all that said. i'm here "for the journey" as Lloyds would say lol. We lost a squads worth pf players in the summer. Its time to be judged after a season in the top flight. bring it! watp

Agree5 Disagree2

Thats the season gone
Pointless games till May
FFS don't let Ally near a war chest!

Agree10 Disagree0

Rangers are playing at their level just now. It will change but that change will take 5 years. can't buy expensive players ever again! Do you realy think they will get back to their past levels?

Agree6 Disagree0

Have the Celtic fans been boycotting parkheed all season?

Agree4 Disagree5

@2 not going to a game isn't walking away

Agree3 Disagree2

2). I'm a Rangers fan and your right we walked away with this stupid boycot if it was the dark side, would we have boycotted, no chance. Green and Ally should have a rethink about how they are taking our club forward. They say they are listening to the fan, it seems to me the other way round.

So cups not important, blaming the players not doing an interview after the game boycott and what else. And you give nl a hard time with whatever he says, at least he does interviews when that club loses and takes the blame at times. Funny how you give Celtic fans a hard time or laugh if they are out of a cup comp but at least they want to win it and give thier fans something.

Believable24 Unbelievable9

Well hope Green and his bocoytters are happy now. For those that didn't go to Tannadice where our players certainly missed then as Ally says, you got what you wanted or should I say deserved, still can't believe Green wanted this and using the fans to back him. He is a disgrace and doesn't deserve to part of our great and famous club he is dragging it down instead of trying to build bridges, where does he think this is taking us, it certainly isn't good for football or Rangers. If he doesn't get his act together I can see our club going backwards again. Oh for a regime at Ibrox like the ones that were there before Murray took over they were honest and creditable can't see that happening soon, but here's hoping. I love this club and won't be taken in by his rants and lies. Let's stop blaming everyone else and see where the fault really lies, get this club back to where it really belongs. The players were up against it today but that was no excuse for their discipline on the park another example of something that would not have gone unpunished by previous regimes. I was speaking to several older fans after the game they were gutted to see our club in this position.
Bobby

Believable25 Unbelievable13

The boycott made not one bit of difference, we were beaten by a far better team, full stop.
The fans made it clear to Green that they wanted the boycott, you have suddenly turned this round to blaming Green. I have no problems with criticism of the team or Ally or Green but don't alter the facts to suit your argument.

Agree15 Disagree15

What garbage you talk, it is easy to have a go at Green, but just realise this, if no Green, no club. You have a bloody cheek to have a go at him, just remember that the so called Rangers men bottled it, Green didn't. You need a reality check, we are not the Rangers of old, we have the worst team we have ever had, but with no Green there would be nothing there.

Agree18 Disagree15

Bobby, the regime at ibrox before murray presided over a club in serious decline with gates of 10k. Would the fans of that time have stood for years of being also rans? Murray supplied a golden period which is being paid for now.

Agree17 Disagree7

I don't get what they thought they would achieve today dundee utd will go on in the cup continue to make money rangers have lost out on a good pay day out of the cup and nothing left to play for but meaningless 3rd division league games in a meaningless league the only losers today was rangers with dundee utd now facing the possibility of ties against celtic or other spl clubs and try get to the final no one knows how much money the pathetic boycott has cost, the fans should take their own advice rangers are responsible for their own down fall and it seems the club doesn't feel they have been punished enough and won be happy untill they finish themselves off

Agree20 Disagree9

OP & @4 - grow up, we never lost because of the boycott, we could have taken 40,000 to the game and we would still have lost.

JG

Agree7 Disagree5

How many of these boycotts have had any positive outcomes? as far as I can see dufc got a good gate, an easy win and their fans had a ball. rangers on the other hand have to give their gate money away, got stuffed and their fans had a nightmare. isn't it time you told these boycotters and marchers to boycott and march elsewhere? if I were you i'd try and make this the low point from which you recovered rather than start digging to find the next one.

Agree8 Disagree1

To 1). And 2). Wake up and smell the coffee the team needed it fans where we're they. I reckon a lot of fans knew we would get humped and used this as an excuse for a boycot. There is no disgrace on being beaten by an SPL team though the manner we were beaten was poor - to 3). Before The Murray era we had great teams great results were regulars in Europe in 3 finals great managers (Struth, Symon and Waddell) a strong board of directors who controlled the goings on at Ibrox they would never have stood for a boycot or even allow us to get into debt the way we have lately. The Murray era took it toll on us eventually costing him nothing and us everything, it even cost the other clubs who tried to keep up to us financially but couldn't, they learned to control it Murray didn't and look at the disaster and that is what it is a disaster that has befallen us over the last few years all for the sake of catching Celtics 9 in a row he didn't match them in Europe. I have been a Rangers supporter since my first game in 1954 have had great banter with my brother and cousins who are celtic over the years. I am not bitter like a lot of poeple on this site Murray and White took us down I hope Green gets it right
But he won't by calling boycotts and coming out with stupid rants like he has.
Bobby

Agree7 Disagree0

@7. hear hear. a sane voice. the problem is that a lot of the people with opposing views to you are too young to understand that, and those who are older are too stupid. that was a disaster for rangers yesterday in so many ways. those three managers you mention would have ripped the shirt off blacks back and he would never have worn it again.

Agree5 Disagree0

I am a gers fan for the last 60 years, when all the millionair gers fans walked away, one by one, along came mr green, he has got us where he wants us, if he is not the real deal god help us. if you asked me a honest awnser is I don't know, peter.

9 that's my opinion also and I am sure a lot of the rangers faithfull

02 Feb 2013 22:01:16
one question. what right has the fans got to criticize the team when they didn't bother turning up themselfs? you choose to boycott the match and failed to support your team. the fact is you the fans are as much to blame today as the players

Why are so called fans on McCoists case, he stuck with us when we were in serious trouble, he had very little money to spend, he can't take anyone in until september, so what if we are out of the cups, its going to take time to get back, granted the players didn't perform today and they will be disappointed they let themselves, the supporters and the club down but we if YOU are true Supporters you will back SUPER ALLY and the players.
IN ALLY WE TRUST.
WATP

Believable7 Unbelievable30

You don't have to back ally to be a true supporter mate!
open your eyes. ally is clueless and so are these book-ends duurant and mcdowell who stand either side of him with their arms folded, the football rangers have played all season is utter gash and his signings since he took over are a joke, he is tactically hopeless,
its going to take several years for rangers to compete in the top div. several decades under mcoist,
listening to neil mcann and derek mciness today I would rather they were in charge at least they know what they're talking about
iw

Agree22 Disagree6

I'm sorry but I cannot agree. Yes, Ally seen us through a miserable time and deserves all credit for that but, I don't think he is the man to take us forward. Like fellow supporters I realised we were far short of what is required but today was a reallity check. I accept your comments about signings etc. , but the organisation and discipline of the team is far short of what we expect. Changes must be made now, so the influence of fresh manager is given a chance to develop.
Unfortunately, the comment made by Ally, yesterday, about the unknown injury to big Lee is fuelling the rumour factory.
My hope is that the whole coaching staff is overhauled and a more suitable position is found for Ally, and we should acknowledge his loyalty and service but not confuse it with his ability to help us progress.
Billy B.

Agree19 Disagree6

Second highest wage bill in scotland to win the 3rd division how much will it cost to win the 2nd and 1st? and with a law of averages bill gates couldn't afford the money it would take for ally to survive in the spl with a rough guess I would say around 40 million and he might get a draw

Agree17 Disagree1

You can't blindly back someone just because they stuck with the club. Football management isn't about sticking with a club it's about team selection, tactics, motivation and buying well. McCoist has failed in all of those aspects and if he is honest with himself he should admit his failings and walk away. Being in charge of a team in question of sport is his limit

Agree15 Disagree2

What a load of rubbish. Stuck with us when we were in trouble? Where would he have went? His record even then was poor. can't take any one on till September? Black, Shiels, Cribari, Faure, Sandaza (who he chased) and bloody Kyle! He also spent £800k on templeton. that's seven players, would you trust him with funds? McKay slated his training and Stella never seen any game time. Your true supporters line is very tired. The same thing was said when Murray and Whyte were looting the place! It's real supporters who ask questions and are not blinded by loyalty.

Agree20 Disagree6

In ally I do not trust but will still turn up at ibrox to support the team as I've done for 50 years to say he had little money to spend is rubbish how much did utd spend this season what is their wage bill just lost their manager with a younger team and have not won at home for 6 months 1st thing last summer he should have brought in 2 journeymen cntr halfs scottish or from the lower english or irish leagues by the way the spl is full of this type of player we have spent most of this season playing at a slow tempo game instead of closing down teams quickly as today when untd put together nearly 20 passes in 2nd half finally though I could rant for another hour do you ever see our back 4 running to the half way line when we break out of defence NO because we have no pace apart from wallace and don't even get me talking about corners free kicks and throw ins

Agree17 Disagree3

Very little money to spend? uhhhm, look at the average salary of the playing and coaching staff? Very little money to spend? Plenty of money to give away to buddies and cronies, but you are banned from transfers so no cash there. But Ally and Green are sure burning the cash to their crew. Div 3 remember. Sustainable. In my opinion - No.

Agree13 Disagree3

@1 and @2, 2 replies well made and absolutely spot on.

Orange Peel

Agree5 Disagree1

What a pathetic post. It saddens me how blind some people can be. We are in the 3rd division with the second highest wage bill against part time players and we still struggle. Under McCoist we have been humiliated in every cup competition and he obviously can't spot any sort of talent. If your happy with the rubbish being served up then fine but a lot of Rangers supporters expect better and a manager who knows what he is doing

Agree17 Disagree1

After i, ve calmed down and had a think about the game today and the games i, ve seen this season
did we have a shot on target today?
there should not be one more penny spent till we find out what is so wrong at our club, there is something very wrong here the way there is a blind panic in the defense when someone attacks it. you can detect it in the stands any attack by any team i, ve seen us play this season could result in a goal from east stirling to untd today. there must be something very wrong at auchenhowie

Agree9 Disagree0

Did ally pay millions for his shares thus helping club out, or just take huge salary and shares for little

Agree3 Disagree0

Well there's the name of the place for a start.

Agree1 Disagree0

Yep No 11. Ally in Dire Straits, Money for nothing, and my shares for free. that's the way to do it, money for nothing in Division 3.

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Feb 2013 19:52:14
look on the bright side guys, I feared a real drubbing today esoecially after losing a goal after 15 secs. unbelievable, so 3-0 we got off lightly against a decent utd side who's players would walk into our team, I for one am glad we're out because celtic would hit double figures against that lot if we were to meet them,
ally is the worst rangers manager ever, even despite the situation we're in and it's time for a complete overhaul in management, backroom staff and scouts. that's if we even have any,
fair play to the loyalty of the fans but how long will this last the way things are going?

Believable22 Unbelievable4

Haha that was a footballing master class and you're still in denial!

Dominant possession!
No forward play!
No attacking threat!
No defence!
Lack of defence strategy!
Indiscipline!
Dirty tackles!
No tactical strategy!

Agree15 Disagree4

Honestly McCoist must be feeling it now. His cup run since being manager has be a riot (ours isn't much better lol) McCoist bought spl players on spl wages so really should be at least scoring goals and running away goal wise in div 3 ok your top but only just by scraping games 1-0 etc

To have the second highest wage bill in Scotland and not at least getting into a semi final. Questions need answering

IMO Aberdeen were European cup winers & fell away I can honestly see rangers being a 'smaller' team unless things done change

Agree8 Disagree3

Clubs all around Brittan are changing the way they're structured. Youth development is paramount. There's a job for the boys attitude at rangers. Always has been. I agree a overhaul from top to bottom is required. Murray park has been a waist of money so far.

McCoist blast for senior players
2 February 2013 Updated 17: 54
Manager Ally McCoist was critical of some his senior players after Rangers crashed out of the Scottish Cup with a 3-0 loss at Dundee United.
"It was certainly poor, " said McCoist. "Probably our bigger SPL players should have done better today.
"It was a disappointing day for one or two who, with SPL experience, would hopefully have done better.
"When criticism is due and warranted, believe me, they get it. Some of the players got it today after the game. "

Blaming players Ally, look at you yourself and Durrant! You contracted them all you pay them all its ALL your fault. Ffs admit it.

Believable27 Unbelievable7

What exactly does Durrant do? What has happened to McDowall, who Celtic did not want to lose, as he was rated one of the top young coaches in the country? Add Allys scouting and back room team and it looks like jobs for the boys.

Agree20 Disagree1

Regarding Mc Dowall . He has more chance parting the Red Sea than making footballers out of that lot. Sows lug and silk purse come to mind. TTTS

No shame in a 3rd Div club being well beaten by an SPL side. Concentrate on the league now

Believable10 Unbelievable24

Concentrate on the league! Are you serious? A huge lead meant a full blooded attempt to go through today was needed.

Agree14 Disagree1

Your right no shame getting beat by an spl side, its the manner in the way we were beaten. and why is the league more important its already won. get a grip we need a manager who knows how to manage, and please be honest mccoist has to go
forget all this legend nonsense we will go nowhere with him at the helm. jimbo

Agree13 Disagree1

Good post Jimbo we should be up for very competition, that's what Rangers used to be about.
Bobby

Agree9 Disagree1

"No shame in losing to an SPL team"? You mean team that has a playing staff wage probably £5 million less than yours? Less internationals on the pitch than yours? Younger than yours? And probably less bigger names than yours?
You cling on to your wee excuse of "SPL team" beat us if it makes you feel better! But truth is your team is an SPL team playing in the lowest division and even that you are struggling with! {Ed001's Note - how does that make them an SPL team? If they were an SPL team, wouldn't they be playing in the SPL?}

Agree5 Disagree0

To ed001 on 4.
I think the point is they deliberately structure themselves as A SPL team in staffing, wages, support. I'd imagine revenue is still 2nd highest in Scotland. {Ed001's Note - so what? They are still in Div 3, playing against Div 3 teams week in, week out. The quality of your opposition makes a huge difference, if you play against a lower level, you do lower your quality to just do enough to beat them. It is human nature, that is why Scottish football failed when the Old Firm got greedy and kept all the money. They destroyed the competition, then wonder why they struggle too. Rangers are a Div 3 team, and they will be a Div 3 team until the day they move into a different division, simple as that.}

Agree2 Disagree1

Wrong again rangers ARE a3rd division team

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Feb 2013 18:02:28
Surely expectations need to be managed. Rangers in the 4th tier with a new team facing a top tier team with a number of the most sought after players in the SPL at the moment. It would have been a surprise if united hadn't won. The priority has to be progressing through the leagues back to the top. Allow the players and management the opportunit to learn and grow. It will come together. League championships have to be the goal, cup runs a bonus.

Believable8 Unbelievable18

Guys like Sheils, Templeton & Black were bought for cup runs.

Agree15 Disagree2

It's not the losing but the manner of defeat. No heart, tactics or ability. Templeton, Shiels, Black, you need any more? These guys are earning THOUSANDS per week!

Agree15 Disagree1

Ridiculous post. What don't you wake up and actually look at what's happening at the club. 2nd highest wage bill in Scotland, team full of SPL players and Ally was able to spend £800k on Templeton. What other club in Scotland bar one can afford to do that? The team, the tactics and the manager are rubbish and the sooner Ally goes the better

Agree12 Disagree2

OP here. Firstly apologies for the typo. Clearly meant opportunity. I think the players you mentioned were bought to appease the fans after a horrible year rather than for any idea of a cup run. As I say expectations need to be managed. It would be a surprise to beat a top tier team. Championships / promotions are the goal. Cup runs, while nice, are an aspiration.

Agree2 Disagree2

Expectations need to be managed, yes your dead right. We should not expect any team shape or tactical approach from our well paid management team.

Demand better performances or simply accept this sad ghost of a team.

I have supported Rangers for 45 years and I believe I can praise or criticise when I see fit, the current management team are not good enough. I just do not see any direction from the football team we should be doing much better. I have loved ally as a player but sorry not as a manger.

Agree6 Disagree2

Is that the party line now, cup runs are only an aspiration? Was that still acceptable last year when ally got you papped out of every cup competition as well as europe?
Hmmm funny how times change, but excuses stay the same!

Agree3 Disagree1

02 Feb 2013 17:56:05
The only way the club can move forward is to sack McCoist. His tactics are non existent and his signings have been atrocious. We have struggled in the lowest standard of senior football and the standard of football is shocking. The fans have been immense this season but McCoist is cheating us and needs to be removed ASAP

Believable26 Unbelievable4

Totally agree with your post mate -- however I think were going to be stuck with Ally for some time as Green ain't got the bottle to get rid of him nor the finances, -- so were stuck with Mr gutless Mccoist for some time

Agree10 Disagree2

COuld imagine your illustrious leaders stocks going up with the fans if he sacked ally! My god he could ask you to boycott anything then couldn't he! The sky would be the limit for the man!

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Feb 2013 17:52:48
Green always says he listens to the fans and does what they want. Well we want McCoist and back room staff sacked. Do it. Or are you only interested in boycotts?

Believable20 Unbelievable4

What did they do off the park? Did I miss something?

Agree8 Disagree6

Not as bad as your team at hampden last week

Agree9 Disagree11

United will do as they always do after a decent performance, and lose to whoever, Russell, Daley, Mackay-Smith are all as inconsistent as the team. and weren't exactly sought after in the transfer window, but we looked 3 levels below them today. No more apologies or eulogies for McCoist and his mates, a decent, time served manager would at least have a system of play, and a plan B. and none of this "it's the players". who bought, coaches, motivates and trains the players?. the manager. and Ally has been delivering dire football for months, and putting up with roasters like Black/Sandaza/Shiels not doing a hand's turn. Jimmy Calderwood, Derek McInnes, Peter Houston[ whoever, would do a better job than our current manager. maybe just as well we won't go up next season, Div 2 could prove too much for us. black day for Rangers, make no mistake.

Agree8 Disagree2

@2: whose team? The OP didn't mention who they support, did they.

Another Assumpta in the ranks of Rangers fans.

Agree8 Disagree1

@1 what did they do off the park? they kept it dignified didn't get involved in all the boycott and bullying tactics and snide comments instead just showed your club is just a 3rd division club like all the others not very good not a big crowd and an easy passage into the next round. no big deal . one thing that comes out today is the spl don't need you you wouldn't contribute nothing to the spl and as far as financially is concerned 300 fans we would be better off promoting elgin with the boycotts and rank rotton football the spl is better off rid of your club. and that's not a dig its a fact

Agree5 Disagree0

02 Feb 2013 17:28:12
How Ironic, Our fans decide to boycott the game, Our defenders decided to boycott marking any of their strikers. Very very poor today, only two players would get pass marks imo and they are Wallace and Hutton (I know it was a rash challenge but that never affected the outcome) - the rest were garbage. i'm not one to want managers sacked etc, but Ally is tactically clueless and wee Duranty is no better, time for a clear out of the back room staff and management and that includes the dreadful scouts who seemed to think Faure, Cribari and Black were ever fit for the purpose of wearing our Jersey - c'mon Chick - wake up and smell the Coffee.

Believable15 Unbelievable1

Wallace was found wanting on all 3 goals. No pass marks it was his worst game of the season.

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Feb 2013 23:51:43
Yip sorry I meant to add on that I was giving Wallace pass marks because he was decent looking going forward and he did get forward a lot, his defending left a bit to be desired but I definitely wouldn't question his effort.

Agree0 Disagree0

And starch an wants Wallace in our national team? The guy was playing at div 3 standard today! Not good enough!

The club has a director media but still we fans cannot hear what McCoist has to say on tv radio Scotland as no rangers officials talk to the country's top broadcaster. Sums up everything really.
Secondly, if I was a corporate investor with 5% is be phoning green to make some serious changes.

Believable11 Unbelievable3

Did the tv not stich Alister up in an interview.

Agree5 Disagree9

I'm a McCoist the player admirer and will always be so, but as a manager he is woefull lost tactically and when TWO ex rangers who were pundits (MacInies and McCann) both see the same problems but our back room staff don't that says it all. They seem to have no plan of how to play or change the play.
Why not play MCCabe and put Little beside Sandaza because Sheilds was not at the races
Our players are. Not the best but we didn't even show up. All Ally did was clap his hands when it did not work out as planed CHANGE IT DON'T HOPE IT'LL GET BETTER IT WON'T. Once again i'm not Ally bashing but he I'm afraid he's just not got it.

Agree9 Disagree1

02 Feb 2013 17:11:47
little did I know when I bought me an my son a season book and bought 2 shares in the club and thought, me an ma boy will put in some money into Rangers to help them fight back, well little did I know that the team were not behind us, little did I know that they were not at our back that ally saying we don't do walking away
was ment for us only and the team was slinking away AGAIN. . les

Believable13 Unbelievable2

The players have been taking money under false pretences this season and the manager is possibly one fo the worst in the history of the club. I feel the fans have been taken for mugs this season and unless something is done soon the fans loyalty will be serverly tested

Rangers did not hire actors to abseil from the Govan Stand, nor did it raid a props department for the big gun. The Armed Forces willing participated in this fiasco. And anyhow, was it anymore embarrasing than that unelected lot with their ceremonial swords, rows of medals and ridiculous hats arsing around at The Cenotaph every year?

When managers come in they bring their own ideas and style. Unfortunately ally didn't he thought he'd do the same as Walter and its been a disaster. Be your own man ally or go and if you stay get some help.

Agree7 Disagree1

The fans are the only ones that can persuade Charles Green to sack Ally. I don't think he will do it without pressure from us. You're right that we need a new manager as it has always been obvious that Ally doesn't have what it takes to be a successful Rangers manager. We just need to wait until the majority of the bears feel the same.

coupla things. firstly its a business. . and business thrive by the fans in this medium. . secondly the players and managerial staff are the ones that motivate the players who perform for the FANS. . the managerial staff don't have what it takes know matter what division or "level" they play in. . the only advice I can give mr green is. push ally up into technical director or some stupid title and hire a decent motivated manager to keep the fans happy whilst we climb the tables. . if he doesn't then the club will suffer badly. . common sense and business ethics prevail in this case. . deecee

Believable12 Unbelievable1

But these guys (Green&Co) say only 33% will be spent on players, 33% into green&co pocket as sheer profit each and every year.

Given gers struggled at 77% on players, its a long hard road to the next trophy, if ever.

Agree8 Disagree1

It's not just Ally, its the whole back room coaching system, the preparation for games is awful.
Then the scouting system that brought these guys here.
Then everyone associated with the old club. Yes including Walter. Obviously he advised Ally on today without a doubt make no mistake.

Technical director? Has he shown any technical skills in coaching so far?

02 Feb 2013 16:27:06
Black, Faure and Cribari utterly attrocious. They have NO future at Ibrox and should never pull on the blue jersey again. The defence has been useless through the middle since the start of the season and every high ball is a scoring opportunity no matter what division the team plays in. We can all see that so why not the managemnet team. McCoist has to go asap.

Believable10 Unbelievable6

Lets be totally honest today! we were a disgrace, - poor all round, - but we have continually seen this week in week out, heard excuse after excuse, -- we know we are a Div 3 side, but I have seen many Div 3 sides go down fighting till the last minute with their pride still intact- I cannot say the same for this current team who pull on our blue jersey - there is No going forward until Mccoist and his band of inept backroom staff go.

How did ross perry esacpe? ran from the the balls

Agree5 Disagree1

Being honest a few teams in this division play a better passing game.

Agree5 Disagree0

I've been saying for months that Perry is a total waste of a jersey. His positional sense is non-existent and he let's too many players get free headers in no matter what level the opposition. Clueless doesn't really cover it. . .

02 Feb 2013 16:03:13
hope this finally proves to my fellow blinkered fans what was obvious. the young players at the club are not wonderkids who will march into the premier league. they are what they are poor reserves who should never have played for the club and in any other time period would have ended up at dundee ayr abroath etc etc. so please stop telling us barrie mckay is this and ross perry is that. as for the more senior players mcculloch should have retired years ago, templeton is rubbish lee wallace is the biggest waste of money ever. its alright saying play the kids you have to have quality for that and ours are rotten.

Believable11 Unbelievable8

Lee wallace covered ever inch of the park
and deserves more time can't complain with anything else, this football club is in trouble and needs a hand on the tiller
its drifting to the rocks and no one knows how to move it on. for g_d sake some one do what's required
its now obvious we need a new management team. why wait any longer. les

Average age today was 26. That's not young. Experienced players not pulling there weight. Why was little not hooked? Miles away from being a top team

Mckay is a good player, should be left in the team to flourish, perry is utter gash. should be booted ot on his a. se. . trueblue.

You guys always talk about the shocking tackles after everyone of your games so where is it now? I didn't know to you that jumping on someone's back and throwing players downby the neck were tackles. Does your players and ally know theat you win the game by the most goals and not most cards? Shocking shocking tackles shown how you play that if you can't win just hurt the players, black sums up your club and his antics were just disgusting and no class, the sad thing is that ally will let him play next game so no bigy to the players.

At least black doesn't dive

02 Feb 2013 15:52:26
As I live in the south of England, I rarely get a chance to see Rangers. I watched today's game on Sky. I was really disappointed at the poor level of Rangers play. Only Wallace showed any class and he would walk into any SPL team. Sandaza showed good touches but was isolated and clearly unfit. Cribari, Faure, Black, Templeton, Shiels - all rubbish. Kyle Hutton will come on with decent players to help him. I suppose we have to bite the bullet and accept we are a SFL3 team now and will win that, but we are a long way off SPL level. Having said that, most of the second half was much better. We need a DEFENCE and a GOALSCORER! Why is Barrie McKay left out in favour of that person Black?

Believable11 Unbelievable4

If you rarely get the chance to see rangers subacribe to espn and you will see them most weeks. jamie

It's ironic the high points for me this season have been; McKay, Macleod, and Aird. The low points have been the supposed quality players like Black, Shiels, Cribari, Sandaza.

Believable9 Unbelievable1

02 Feb 2013 15:29:27
Can we now put to bed this rubbish being spouted by Lee Mc Culloch and other Rangers players that there is no difference in class between SPL and div 3. Also thought Lee Wallace was very slow at the back and was skinned by Russell a few times. That is why he shouldn't be near a Scotland jersey till he is playing at a higher standard more regularly.

Rango bango

Believable8 Unbelievable4

All of celtics back 4 were skinned by st mirren last week, does that mean they shouldn't be near their national squads?

Agree10 Disagree3

Ally says cup wasnt important and he's disappointed in the players! - just sums him up! -- i'm disappointed in YOU Ally! your signings, team selections are a joke! YOUR to blame for the gutless approach by the boys - stop blaming their age as an excuse to your inept management - check the average age of your team selection today.

Agree11 Disagree1

@1: why bring Celtic into it? Are you obsessed?

Agree5 Disagree3

The whole Celtic team had a shocker against St Mirren but have scored scored 12 - conceding 2 in last 3 SPL against Killie, Hearts and of course Dundee Utd.
I haven't seen Wallace a lot this season and he may be generally Ok?
But he is playing against opponents a far cry from International football.
Personally I think he may have picked Wallace in the squad to sell tickets? But I might be wrong.

JJ

Agree4 Disagree3

That was a totally embarrassing performance, - and it shows to me that Ally doesn't care as we have seem this week in week out, no vision no fight no tactics, --

We were poor but not as poor as lennons team at hampden after spending millions

The difference though is Celtic will have the memories of beating Barcelona last 16 champions league etc. Rangobango

without doubt it has to go down as one of the most dis-organised and gutless performances from a Rangers Team, and I say 'Team' with reservations, as to be classed as a Team everybody is suppose to work together in an organised manner. How the mighty have fallen!

Believable13 Unbelievable2

Ally won't leave as he's quite happy to sit there and get paid his vast salary paid by us for this rubbish, he has no vision on football, only his wages! time to get him out.

Agree12 Disagree2

02 Feb 2013 15:15:10
Guys would it be any surprise if United beat Hearts,
3-0, No.

We have a team made up of ex Hearts players, and
our other players are not as good as the other
Hearts players, so 3-0 is no surprise. I am afraid
that buying Hearts players and putting on a Rangers
shirt does not make them any better players.

Our young players are the same players that finished
way behind in the youth league last year, putting
them in the first team does not overnight make
them better players.

We are where we are, we will improve as we go
up the leagues, when we can buy better players.

This result was no surprise to me, and if we take off
the blue specs and look at our players, it should
be no surprise to anyone.

The question however remains are Ally, and his
back ups good enough, me thinks not!

Believable11 Unbelievable7

It wasn't just the result it was the lack of desire from some of the players that's unacceptable. Not surprised by the result but was surprised just how bad that was.

Agree8 Disagree1

Question remains. are you ****in kidin pal

Agree2 Disagree3

Second highest wage bill in Scotland that's all that needs to be said about Ally & Co, NO EXCUSES.

Agree12 Disagree1

The lack of quality in our reserve and youth teams for the last decade is being brought into focus.

The superb facility at Murray Park has not produced the goods.
Our record in all the under age competitions has been pathetic and now we have to listen to the management saying that the kids are world beaters.

Are we being kidded?

Agree10 Disagree0

4) you are correct except for one thing, the facilities at Murray Park have never and will never produce good players. Good scouting and good coaching produces good players, not grass pitches or a nice gym. Therein lies the problem.

Agree4 Disagree1

Good coaching is key, I am a rangers man through and through my lad is with Celtic they start developing boys from age 5 and these boys can play!they always play against older teams and set up the team the same way and make the formation difficult for he boys. they use different facilities but the coaching is first class. rangers need to get this sorted. I would love my lad to play for rangers but Celtic are years a head. Sorry but this is true

what can be done for rangers to change

To be honest guys I was dreading this game. and it seems I was spot on!! we are a shambles under Mccoist - - we have continued to show our support for our club and to be frank we desreve better than this! we keep hearing that we didn't have a pre season! we keep hearing we have a very young team! - time to stop this crap Ally and do the right thing for this club. walk away, you are clearly out of your depth in management and your making us a laughing stock of football, your tactics are inept! your team selection baffles everyone on a weekly basis, -! go now before you destroy our club any further

Agree8 Disagree1

Where did 5m pounds of share issue come from Tam

@4: that didn't save the club, though, did it? If it did then you should be worried that the club needed saving by the recent share issue.

@4, it came from the fans long after the club was put into liquidation. That's not saving the club.
Al

Agree1 Disagree3

No that 5m did, nt save the club
and I think it may have just been a token jesture but the fans were asked and stepped up to the plate
dont think the rangers fans would have liked it if there were, nt any fans asked to put his hands in there pockets

Surely the 3 worst players EVER to pull on a Rangers shirt have to be Black, Faure and Cribari. The whole team were pretty bad but these 3 stand out as being rank rotten

Believable10 Unbelievable5

The sooner we get shot of Black the better. All he did today was foul nothing else.

Agree10 Disagree3

Include Temp in that list. Not Rangers class. Only playing for himself and concedes possession far too much for my liking. every time he had the ball he gave it away. Flicks and tricks don't wash with me, get the ball down and keep it simple. All that fancy crap is going to turn the fans against him and what irritates me more is that I have this feeling that McCoist is encouraging Temp to continue trying these flicks and tricks which won't help the lad one bit!

TTG

Agree6 Disagree2

Got to agree we should never have signed him never respected him as a player always been a thug hope he never pulls on a rangers jersey again he has done nothing since coming to ibrox so no great miss if he goes

Agree3 Disagree1

Can you tell me what is Rangers class? After today's match you need a whole new set up, good players do not always make good managers. Remember Bobby Charlton at Preston, gave up after three months as was no use at managing.

Agree4 Disagree0

@3: the problem is who will want him, especially on the wage he's on? No-one wanted him last summer until Rangers came in and offered him stupid money to play in D3.

Agree5 Disagree1

02 Feb 2013 14:57:25
Surely the team that cost the most to put together and has the (much) higher wage bill would win easily?

Believable6 Unbelievable11

Do you really think that is how football works? Ridiculous. Yes over a. period of time or say a season yes. Which is why rangers celtic finish 1 or 2 most of the time. But in a one off match? Anything can and does happen. Get a real perspective

Agree3 Disagree2

The OP was intended to be a tongue-in-cheek comment. Many Rangers fans genuinely believed the team would win today. Why? Probably because of the fact that they believe the players are worth more and cost more etc.

Agree3 Disagree2

Believable8 Unbelievable6

Disappointed that Ally went along with the boycott idea. Can you imagine sir Alex Ferguson telling man united fans not to support their team?

The people managing rangers are definitely fourth tier market stallholder level. Without top tier management professionals the club will simply languish.

Agree with the above comments something is seriously wrong at ibrox over paid under achievers across the lot! 20 point lead is covering it up and now that there's nothing left to play for let's see what happens to the attendances

Naismith, disgraceful lunge and had to go. Black, frankly the most stupid second booking I have ever seen. Not a chance of getting there first, knew he had been carded yet dives in like a ned on an ash park. Templeton, Shiels and Little should have a long hard look at themselves tonight. The rest looked like what they are, third division players. Wallace was okay but no better and is this the Sandaza Ally chased? Rangers also had the older team, going by average, and that must be addressed. McKay should have started but sadly it seems Ally has no bottle for youngsters, I would bet if Kyle was fit he would have started.

Believable9 Unbelievable1

Why must the average age be addressed? So the fans can use the 'young players' excuse when they play like they did today.

Agree9 Disagree2

All of allys signings are shocking, thank god for the transfer ban, time to go IMO he should've went when queen of the south knocked us out the chip shop cup.

Agree7 Disagree4

I think ally, s so bad that the ban could save the whole club as I think ally and his don't do walking away and his signings could/will kill us off i, m angry that the next time the club want to say anything it will be to ask for even more money that there, s a lot being put into getting more money into the club and not getting better use of what we have
today was utterly disgraceful and a total total waste of our resources
this has to be stopped before any more money goes in they have to see this. les

I see from the match report we had 50% possession.

Assuming that INCLUDES use of the ball, so what exactly did we have 50% of?

Oh yes, and when are we going to realise our keeper is a liability? Roll on 6 months as soon as possible so we can sign some players who CAN play.

@OP: what an arrogant point of view. Just because they pay more in wages, it doesn't mean there is a divine right to win. Look at QPR, fighting relegation and Man City who were woeful in Europe. And to refer to United as 'that crap' is ignorant and utterly stupid.

We should be beating that crap explain to me please what crap you are referring to. from what I witnessed it was the team that lost who were crap. jimbo

I don't think I have seen a poorer display, with less passion, from a club in years.

You seem to have lost your way - no leadership and no conviction.
The opportunity to rebuild the base of the club with the available young talent and a bold new playing philosophy has been squandered.

nothing more than garbage from some rangers players today, shields? templeton? the back four apart from wallace? why can't we pass 2 yards to the player next to each other, no we lump a pass or a header any direction up the park with one upfront. totaly dismayed today guys. ian black should never have had the privelage to wear a blue top in the first case but after his red today should be on his bike, he has spl experience and then does his red card trick in front of the young guys we had to use because the older guys were pure rubbish. don't think we will recover to get back to spl standard, I thought utd had been playing crap recently but they showed us how to keep the ball and play a fkn 2 yard pass. pure beelin I am lol

This group of players are div 2/3 level. End of. We are not good enough for SPL no matter who manager is.

Agree6 Disagree6

02 Feb 2013 13:37:47
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ALLY JUST GO!!. If he doesn't fall on his sword there has to be a demo to get him to resign or force Green to sack him. Ally you're a legend but management ain't your game, possibly the worst manager in our history.

Believable11 Unbelievable8

His words let the football do the talking it is talking to you now you are rubbish. . b

We can still pull this back all we need is a red card for dundee and this changes everything. ffs ally get it together!

@2: nine men for United could have beaten Rangers today.

Agree8 Disagree2

What all eleven United players sent off that's the only chance of a win here

Agree8 Disagree2

Haha no red cards to save your club today I am afraid! The absolute brass neck of the people complaining about the hackers in div 3! What an absolute disgrace of a team rangers are! Glad your club has found it's level in div 3!

Agree10 Disagree1

He picked a side with experience and the best available. If those players couldn't get themselves motivated for a cup match in these circumstances what does the manager do? He can only make 3 subs, he can do nothing about poor finishing or defensive errors when the game is on. Our so called big players didn't want to know today. All very poor not just ally. Wayward passing all over and final ball/finishing from temps and sandaza was a disgrace.

Bad times when Dundee United are ripping Rangers!

Believable8 Unbelievable11

If this is you just realising its bad times for Rangers, you must have been under a rock for the last year.

Agree7 Disagree2

Let's not make out this result wasn't a disaster. Dundee Utd haven't won a home game in months.

Willo Flood is a Celtic reject and while Russell & MacKay Stevens are very decent they weren't even considered good enough for the Crystal Palace squad.

Today's starting line-up.

Alexander: 34
Faure: 22
Perry: 22
Emilson Cribari: 32
Wallace: 25
Little: 23
Hutton: 21
Black: 27
Templeton: 24
Sandaza: 28
Shiels: 28

No players under 21, 7 with extensive top division experience and several internationals. Can we put the young, inexperienced excuses to bed please?

Believable13 Unbelievable3

Great post mate! I think the DU team was younger than rangers!

Agree8 Disagree0

Average age exactly 26 years old. Some boys!

Agree8 Disagree0

@1: OP here. Thanks, and I think you're right that United's team was younger on average.

Rangers were worse than average.

Agree6 Disagree0

02 Feb 2013 13:31:46
HAHA!

Second highest wage bill in the land and this is what you've got to offer!

Dundee United pumping back to back versions of the Ibrox franchise out the scottish cup on successive seasons!

I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH!

So so bad. that rangers team had more experience than utd.

Time to go Ally. . . . thanks for all you have done for the club but??

I see the Celtic fans are on here again.

Saying that Ally shouldn't go.

@1, It's not just Celtic fans. Fans of every team you will be playing over the next couple of seasons are of the same opinion.
Al (ly must stay)

Yes it was poor defending, but surely questions mustb asked of our goalkeeper, not a game goes by where he doesn't make a mistake and 9 out of 10 times it costs us a goal!
GC

Believable10 Unbelievable6

Agree mate he is terrible in goal for us I would get shot of him he gets shot straight at him and can't save them how many clean sheets has he had this not many abet

Agree7 Disagree5

Russell put his laces right through it from ten yards away, low down, and you blame a keeper? He done well getting a hand on it!

Agree5 Disagree6

How can you blame Neil alexander? his defence didn't do what they are meant to do. they gave 2 goals away.

Agree5 Disagree4

How can I blame the keeper? Being a keeper myself, I have a lot of sympathy for them, but when you make as many mistakes as he does, he loses my sympathy, also I'm not just talking about the game today I'm talking about the whole season, he has been poor all season!

Ally OUT NOW, appaling football

Believable11 Unbelievable7

Templetons distribution in 1 st half is atrocious doug t.s.o

@2: your club paid £800k for such 'quality'.

@5, the Celtic busts would be a welcome sight in this rangers club as they would be better then anything they have, the Celtic rejects were running wild on you today!

Agree2 Disagree0

@5) And Hooper, Wanyama, Matthews, Kayal, Izaguirre, Forster. .

Agree4 Disagree1

@5: the point is that Rangers paid that money when in D3 when they didn't need to.

And my club didn't sign those players as I'm not a Celtic fan. Another Rangers fan who just assumes everyone posting something they don't like is a Celtic fan. Does t. s. o stand for the silly one?

Agree8 Disagree8

No 9 you haven't even the b-lls to say what team you support, other poster balde same as drew jarvie was lol poster no 9 who do you follow then shettleston harriers lol lol doug t. s. o

@10: it doesn't matter who I support. It's not Celtic but you're just one of many Rangers fans who thinks anyone who says anything you disagree with is one. That's why you're the silly one.

Agree5 Disagree7

No 12 are you ashamed of your club? there is guys on here like briggsy who at least put their name to there post most of his posts I don't agree with but that's banter, so peter brady put up or shut up and go back to watching glenbuck cherrypickers lol doug t. s. o t. s. o t. s. o

Believable13 Unbelievable5

Black, Shiels and Sandaza were supposed to help the youth out. Pathetic. What do they offer? Only Wallace looks comfortable at this level. Templeton starting to fade, no service maybe?, Little seems to be a third division player.

Agree7 Disagree1

02 Feb 2013 12:53:47
Are yous Peterhead in disguise some of your tackling is a disgrace

Believable10 Unbelievable7

We are a third division team, what do you expect, not that mackay Steven is much better, he makes the tackles Look bad as he is rolling around the deck after every tackle!

league reconstruction: Why is there a window of opprtunity now and why may it not be available in the future? The media reports that there are massive cash incentives on offer to SFL clubs promised by the SPL. At present the SPL don't have a sponsor in place for next season and there is rumour that ESPN are not too impressed with the viewing figures and are considering re-negotiating the tv deal. So where is the cash coming from? Is there a sponsorship deal (or other) on offer only if the SPL & SFL merge under the same body?

02 Feb 2013 11:10:08
Has anyone else wondered if we draw today what we do about supporting our team in a replay at Ibrox? I do agree with Charlie about the boycot today but it would be ironic if our loyal support gave half the money to the club who has messed us about more than anybody.

Believable4 Unbelievable6

Dundee United has messed Rangers about more than anybody? What about Murray and Whyte?

Agree7 Disagree4

I've went for the draw actually at 5/2.

And of course Charles Green will be happy to fill Ibrox for a replay & hand half the money to United. I know I would be there.

Agree1 Disagree4

I do hope we win but yes it could be a strange occassion if it did go to Ibrox

Agree1 Disagree3

Dont ask stupid questions if we take them back to ibrox there would be over 40,000 there

Get Kevin Thompson back. I heard his contract has been terminated.

Believable3 Unbelievable5

Why get him back? Get him back now and he can't play until September or get him back in September when he'll probably with another club?

Agree2 Disagree1

02 Feb 2013 08:43:58
I think the banter is leaving the game now. Personally I blame the media. I remember getting slagged off by celtic and other fans about big tore flo and laughing and slagging him myself and me slagging celtic fans about John Barnes and them joining in. That to me is banter a bit of to and thro with laughing on both sides with each other. Now its mainly abuse back and forward. Bears falling out with each other. In the pub I don't hear the laughing chatter of old firm fans joking with each other. Is this gone from the game for good? I hope not.
