Rangers Banter Archive February 05 2020

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


05 Feb 2020 23:41:57
A good hard fought performance not aided by a terrible referee and linesman. Hibs could not have complained if they had had two or three thugs sent off.

Great first performance from Hagi, with better things to come - hopefully he showed others how to play, fight, dig in and never give up.

I see Aberdeen are back to their normal rubbishness!



06 Feb 2020 00:11:05
Hagi was quality.



05 Feb 2020 23:29:38
We're done for

McGregor was impeded definitely

Edmundson yellow no chance

Amount of challenges coming into our players nothing given

I'm sick of this the fecking challenges blocks etc and referees giving us nothing
Something ain't right here
And it's time rangers as a club put out a statement

Even the Aberdeen game honestly

I'm so angry can't put it into words

Refereeing is shocking g these guys need sacked.



06 Feb 2020 08:05:35
McGregor should have done better - he ain’t no innocent, dishes it out so should have got the ball even if he was impeded.

As for the other, you are right - more like rugby.



06 Feb 2020 10:10:43
Whittaker had his arms up in the air and clearly impeded McGregor as he had no chance of actually playing the ball. For me keepers get too much protection now a days, that's my honest opinion but when they are given against you a fair bit then you'd expect the same decision. All we ask for is consistency.

As for the Morelos one that was just laughable, thought for a minute i was watching the world championship wrestling ahah still Morelos stood his ground and planted Stevenson on his **** after being man handled after he turned his man and looked like he was going to get away.

No one seems to be mentioning the Darryn McGregor tackle which was identical to the one Edmundson saw yellow for. again this goes back to the matter of consistancy or should i say inconsistancy.



06 Feb 2020 13:15:22
McGregor’s own fault for that one for me. As soon as I saw him come for it I said “goal. ”.



06 Feb 2020 15:02:48
Mcgregor sold the goal, Whittaker entitled to challenge, watch kamara at every corner we get.
SG points out Allan made a poor effort of it. It happens very very occasionally.



07 Feb 2020 18:13:52
Kylel1872, inconsistancy, is the word you should be using everytime mate.



05 Feb 2020 22:45:55
How any celtic fan can say madden favours us after that performance, don't think he's biased just absolutely shocking referee, . Saying that the look of devastation on his face when we scored said it all really.



05 Feb 2020 22:26:16
Never seen the game due to work but fair play to SG for dropping Kamra and staring Hagi. Also delighted for Edmunsson to get a start and a goal. keep him there. I don't know how Aribo played but that position doesn't suit him. I also think polster could play in MF. Great 3 points!



05 Feb 2020 22:23:25
Hagi looks different class. He just saved our season.



05 Feb 2020 22:49:10
aye he kinda did seeker

a draw tonight wld have been fatal

i thought we looked much better with tav back tonight sat we were mince tonight we made good few chances looked more ourselves.



05 Feb 2020 22:16:35
Good performance from Haji, and a great goal. I really do believe I saw us slowly getting back to something like before the break tonight, confidence should be a lot better for Saturday lunchtime.



05 Feb 2020 22:06:08
Massive goal from boy hagi
Push on now
Consistent run n beat filth
Game on.



05 Feb 2020 22:01:34
Barasic excellent and Hagi just what we need in midfield. Think the league is out of sight Celtic absolutely flying no stopping them now.



05 Feb 2020 22:47:24
Yep, may as well throw in the towel muppet!

No chance we can claw back the massive lead they have over us - we’d have to beat them and we haven’t done that for a few weeks!



06 Feb 2020 15:05:06
Dk19 I’m amazed with guys like muppet, they talk up that mob all the time We r doing fine, the league is clearly still there for us.



05 Feb 2020 21:57:45
Ha ha ha ha ha

Never seen refereeing like it

Has anybody ever seen anything like that

Remember this was a game of football don't mistake it as a game of rugby it was football

Well done gerrard shook everyone of there hands coming off the field loved it to see there faces

Our team finally came back tonight
Finally came back to show that fight intensity flair fight

I'm not religious but THANK GOD!

Morelos absolutely love you

Hagi welcome to Rangers my son played brilliantly and was always looking for the ball
Cracking header from Goldson to set him up

Edmundson great equaliser

Arfield ran and fought for everything

Everyone finally came good tonight especially 2nd half

Never felt so much relief after 2nd went in

I'm one happy chappy

And hope everyone enjoyed the game tonight and to the team fighting for each other again

There little chat what ever that was about finally kicked in

Confidence will build and well take that. Now into next game

Sorry I have slated some plays some tactics past few games

It that's through the passion I have for our club and to top it off my little 2 year old boy came burst through from his bedroom shouting come on Rangers as apparently that's all I had been shouting all night lol lol

Anyway so relived to see us come through a absolute shocking match in case of refereeing and bloody win it and deservedly so

The club need to do something about it though can't let that go it was far too many obvious bad decisions wasn't really until Alfie lost it with him and shouted for a yellow card it made it obvious how bad he was refereeing the game

Well done Alfie for not letting loose

I would be in jail just now and not even kidding on.



05 Feb 2020 21:48:21
Thank cod for that, bus home wont be dead tonight! Really impressed with wee hagi, that was a great finish but apart from that he looked really hungry to get on the ball n make things happen.



05 Feb 2020 21:48:07
What a great 2nd half display, that's the fight and spirit we need and well done to the new lad Hagi on his debut goal and also to Edmundson. Play like that and we will thrive.



05 Feb 2020 21:48:05
Is there a competition going amongst referees as to who can award the most decisions against Rangers this year. Truly shocking refereeing by Madden!

It's funny how players playing in Europe up against Morelos get booked yet in our league they get away with murder. The challenge by Stevenson on Morelos was a joke. Think McGregor was fouled for their goal and Kent was a penalty.

Another big game next week against Kilmarnock away we just need to focus on us until next old firm and see where that takes us.

I liked how Hagi was looking for the ball more to come from him.



05 Feb 2020 21:38:54
Probably, without exaggeration, one of thee worsed refereeing display's I've ever seen in my life. Wow. Just. Wow.



05 Feb 2020 21:50:48
It was bad really bad agree.



05 Feb 2020 21:51:57
Agree.



05 Feb 2020 21:52:26
It just gets worse and worse every week.
I think I would rather Chris Sutton refereed our next match

To book Edmundson and then let the Hibs lad off for jumping on Morelos’s back is horrific

Embarrassing doesn’t even come near to covering it

Never a goal and a 100% pen for foul on Kent

Absolutely no accountability for these incompetent arseholes.



05 Feb 2020 21:54:37
Didn't think it was possible to have a worse performance than Clancy did at New Year, but there you have it - I was wrong again!

Absolutely shocking performance. Beginning to think there might be a bit of substance in the stop 55 campaign!



05 Feb 2020 21:59:54
Terrible refereeing. Madden is absolutely hopeless, the worst ref in Scotland.



05 Feb 2020 22:12:10
One of the worst ref performances I've ever saw. Although I think he got the hibs goal right. Not saw a replay yet but thought at time McGregor has to commit to catch it or punch it, and be stronger.



05 Feb 2020 22:13:14
I can't believe Madden didn't book Stevenson for throwing Morelos to the ground, if he does, he's off as he's booked just afterwards, absolutely shocking, good 3 points though with them winning again.



05 Feb 2020 22:18:35
Totally,
Some of Bobby Maddens decisions tonight were unbelievable.
Any other game I'm sure we would have seen plenty more cards and even a couple of reds.
Still scratching my head at some of them 🤪.



05 Feb 2020 22:20:07
OrangeTinted, I couldn't agree more, they seem to get worse week by week. Linesmen no better, some unbelievable decisions and blind spots they had there between them! Great full debut for young Hagi, I think him and Alfie can work well together. Don't think hibs could have complained if they'd had three reds there tonight!



05 Feb 2020 22:35:37
Saturdays referee against Aberdeen was worse in my opinion.



05 Feb 2020 21:35:32
Bobby madden how's a bear hug not a booking shocking!



05 Feb 2020 22:00:25
Never seen anything like it. Shocking.



05 Feb 2020 22:19:57
He was only giving him a cuddle to make him feel welcome. 😄😄.



05 Feb 2020 21:34:30
Petition to have Bobby Madden removed from his responsibilities anyone?



05 Feb 2020 21:51:43
Madden has always been a shocking referee. Awful with our games where we don’t seem to get any fair decision. I’d also say he is just rubbish period at referring! If anyone on here was this crap at their job you would get fired! Sadly this is becoming the norm.



05 Feb 2020 21:59:10
Too right sign me up.



05 Feb 2020 21:25:45
Tim's strolling it again can't believe we've replicated last years form at this same time
We know teams will sit in but we don't have quality in final third 12 corners so far and nothing from them! this is a draw or 2-1 to them on a break away.



05 Feb 2020 21:50:47
Just plain wrong!



05 Feb 2020 22:06:30
What was the score blue blue sea? 🤔.



06 Feb 2020 07:00:13
Blue blue sea, see you got that right, eh.



05 Feb 2020 21:12:51
Would love to see these players fighting for decisions against them and fouls. Lying down to this mob.



05 Feb 2020 21:01:13
This is more like it, intensity is there

They just need to read each other better like we were doing before winter break

That scott Allan shouldn't be in the field.



05 Feb 2020 20:58:24
Alfie pulling defenders opening up space and no one coming into it for him

Come Kent Aribo hagi

Someone pick up the space he's creating for yous

Prime example at 52 mins.



05 Feb 2020 20:56:40
Alfi is going to score tonight can feel it

Putting himself about well tonight been missing him big time.



05 Feb 2020 21:57:06
Wrong!



05 Feb 2020 20:54:43
Playing much better 2nd

Half commmeeee onnnnnn

Get into them.



05 Feb 2020 21:00:33
Hearts 3-0 down at moment who says teams to try harder against us how’s that possible you must be raging as a hearts fan trying now and again.



05 Feb 2020 20:33:01
Whilst I have no time for the conspiracy theorists I do think it is time for our club to become vocal about inconsistent refereeing decisions.



05 Feb 2020 20:44:04
Its an absolute disgrace DK. I think its got worse since we did say something about it a couple of months ago.

This is again very very poor tonight. I actually feel a bit sorry for Kent. I know that won't be a popular viewpoint but let me explain. As a winger you rely on your teammates to get the ball out to you if you are holding your position. If they don't get the ball to you then you have 2 choices. Hold your position and wait on the ball to be delivered to you or go hunting for the ball. Kent is doing the latter and is going hunting for the ball. This means he's picking up possession in less advanced areas and quite often central positions which minimises his effectiveness. His attitude is correct in wanting to go get the ball and I can't fault that.

Hagi looks good. Again, just need to get the ball tp him.



05 Feb 2020 20:45:56
Thought Whittaker impeded the goalie and also thought it was a penalty on Kent! Double whammy from from Madden!
Hopefully we can push on now that we have equalised.



05 Feb 2020 21:43:10
Probably the worst refereeing performance I’ve seen all season, which is saying something.



05 Feb 2020 20:29:12
45 mins to save your Rangers career SG!



05 Feb 2020 20:34:38
He doesn't know how to. Teams have figured us out and now they have, shown us up for what we are - rubbish.



05 Feb 2020 20:34:53
Bollocks!



05 Feb 2020 20:39:20
Zikos no matter what happens this season gerrard will be there next year.



05 Feb 2020 20:43:14
Absolute nonsense!



05 Feb 2020 20:47:02
Bollocks to what? Every team bar Hearts who had a go, have parked the bus and we ran out of ideas. Hearts beat us cause they wanted it more. Maybe it's heat of the moment while typing but before we know it, Celtic will be too far ahead. Watching Rangers is bad for your health.



05 Feb 2020 21:05:01
He will only be here next season if he makes a fight of this title race, and so far that doesn't seem likely. Hope I'm wrong but were running out of steam at the halfway point!



05 Feb 2020 21:15:53
Think you’re right typing in heat of moment never a great idea.



05 Feb 2020 21:50:02
I was typing in the heat of the moment - but after the match has finished I still feel the same. SG was spared by a bit of brilliance from young Hagi! That won't happen every game!

Hopefully the second half performance will spark this team into life, We need to play with that type of tempo until we're out of sight in games.



06 Feb 2020 07:04:31
Zikos, that should happen a lot more times this season from hagi mate.



05 Feb 2020 20:27:29
Easily the worst ever referee I have ever seen. Notice in the morning!



05 Feb 2020 20:34:41
Seriously is what’s going on

How they getting away with this

It’s like everyone out make sure they get nothing.



05 Feb 2020 20:02:55
Kent so far still not looking like himself

And that little push forward by Hibs going to give them confidence especially how easy they got the ball into the box

Morelos finding himself outside the box trying to pick up the ball

And Hibs now getting joy down our right side.



05 Feb 2020 20:19:00
Would be nice if Kent had an end product. 30 mins played and he is like a headless chicken. Needs to up his game.



05 Feb 2020 20:23:26
He’s looking exactly like himself, rotten.



05 Feb 2020 19:29:18
Edmundson
Hagi

Both starting tonight

Tav back tonight

Hopefully hagi can make a difference

And team play the way we know they can.



05 Feb 2020 19:12:28
katic bombed out the team like he is to blame for the teams poor form to gerrard has got something against this lad even name checked him after last game for 1 mistake
how bout midfielders take the blame and wingers take the blame they have been dreadful recently
hopefully they prove me wrong tonight and we get back to our best cause we certainly need it.



05 Feb 2020 19:29:04
He has made 3 changes. Doesn't mean he blames Katic.



05 Feb 2020 19:31:19
3 clean sheets out of 4 n csnt put the ball in the net, let's drop katic 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.



05 Feb 2020 19:33:18
Have to agree with you craig. there's definitely something personnel going on between them. When Goldson had a shaky patch, he never got dropped.



05 Feb 2020 19:48:11
Kamara is out too - although he deserves it as he's been too lethargic and caught in possession to often recently. Feel sorry for Katic - couple of mistakes, Gerard calls him out personally and then dropped. Seems Gerard can't wait to drop him for something. Goldson has improved to last season's performances but he made mistakes and kept his place. Anyway, I'm sure Edmunson won't let us down and hopefully the changes work and we get a result.



05 Feb 2020 19:56:18
What a load of bs, you guys honestly believe Gerrard can’t wait to drop Katic?!?! Seriously lol.
I like Katic but his distribution and decision making is the worst of all our CB’s and it’s been highlighted in last few games. Goldson is our best CB and hopefully he can form a quick partnership with Edmunson and it’s a clean sheet.



05 Feb 2020 19:56:43
What is it that some people cannot see? Katic is absolutely terrible. Makes everyone around him nervous. Yes he can win headers and the occasional tackle but his distribution And awareness makes him an absolute liability in games where we have the majority of the ball. That’s almost every game.



05 Feb 2020 20:30:52
Distribution? he's a centre half mate, not a playmaker. Not really meant to be one of his strengths. What I never understand is when he is playing well and people are praising him, why don't the people that don't rate him the now, come on here and say they dont. Why wait till he has one bad game. Guys been outstanding for the best part of his time with us in my opinion. And saying he has made three changes so not necessarily katic taking the blame? Kamara has been hoaching for a good few games. and polster was always going to lose his place to tav.



05 Feb 2020 18:15:08
Rangers TV has it changed? Used to pay per view for games but seems it is now monthly subscription?



05 Feb 2020 17:40:52
for me 6 league wins out 6 before the next old firm game for us to have any chance of winning the title.



05 Feb 2020 17:56:29
2 old firm games with a game in hand. Plenty football still to be played but yes, the attitude should always be win every game.



05 Feb 2020 17:47:39
Firstly let me say I like this site and appreciate everyone is entitled to their opinion. What I do despair with at times is people changing their mind and doing u turns on their previous posts.

Whether it be Morelos worth or how good, bad or indifferent Tavernier is. The one that is getting me just now though is how quickly some have turned on Ryan Kent. This boy didn't decide he was worth £7.5m, nor did he claim to be a world beater. At the moment he looks like he is maybe suffering a dip in confidence but this is often the case with wingers as history will tell you.

People argue who was the best player ever to play for Rangers and in my opinion it wasn't Laudrup or Gascoigne but Davie Cooper. Laudrup was far more consistent than Davie but on his day Cooper was unplayable. The point I'm making is Davie Cooper could be a 9/10 or a 10/10 some weeks but his form would sometimes drop off and he would end up on the bench for periods.

Kent will come good again as form is temporary but ability is constant. Please bears let's help guys like Kent, Aribo and Morelos to prosper at Rangers instead of constantly berating them for loss of form. For what it's worth, I still think Kent will turn out to be a steal for £7.5m in todays market where McBurnie goes for nearly 3 times that fee.



05 Feb 2020 18:27:24
Couldn’t agree more. When 1 of our players has a dip in form/ confidence what do we do? 30 thousand fans on the guys case. That’s a huge help.



05 Feb 2020 16:54:06
Guys trying to find reasons for our poor form since the winter break.

Against: Stranrear we had a 2nd string.
St Mirren no tavnier or Morelos
Hearts no tavernier, Morelos. Jack off at half time, and Hearts score twice in the 2nd half
Ross County we struggled without Tavernier, Jack and Morelos.

When we have been without 2 of our most? influencial players in Tavernier and Jack we have been rubbish, according to posters on here, and we dropped points.

Your thoghts on the above.



05 Feb 2020 17:28:21
Missing tav is no reason for the midfield and the rest of the team to play absolutely honkin for games.



05 Feb 2020 19:11:51
Paul86 don't forget that Jack is missing from the midfield. Take 2 players of their stature out of the team and you will suffer. People on this site complain that Tavernier can't defend, this is where Jack comes in by covering for him when he marauds upfield. It is much the same when Morelos is out of the team, the ball does not stick up front.



05 Feb 2020 20:18:38
We have been poor because the manager is out of his depth.



05 Feb 2020 15:21:02
Horoscope today says Celtic lose 2-1 at Motherwell and Rangers win 3-1 against Hibs.



05 Feb 2020 16:49:31
Can see tims 3 nil and 1 all at ibrox. Obv hopefully not but were really struggling at the minute. If its goaless at half time players wil start feeling the pressure from the crowd.



05 Feb 2020 17:31:49
cheers for being enthusiastic.



05 Feb 2020 17:52:17
Christ sake Paul, A was looking forward to going to game tonight 😡🇬🇧🇬🇧.



05 Feb 2020 11:56:13
Is it not about time we stopped doing interviews with the media ie bbc, daily rebel, sun and so on because as far as I can see their is no positives coming from the press in anyway shape or form if we have a positive story it's all out to change it to a negative so there is no benefit to the club what's so ever give them nothing not a jot we don't need them the treatment of Alfredo and his wife (who is pregnant with their first child) is nothing short of a disgrace at the end of the day it's a game of football end of but it seems we are fair game to everyone why? Put a stop to it take legal action on everything they say that they should not have said hammer them with our legal team (if we have one) yesterday a couple of miss quotes in translation bang that mob are all over it (article removed hours later) what is up with the media team and director's at our club grow a set of balls and ban THE LOT NOW WE don't NEED THEM END OF.



05 Feb 2020 12:37:31
think it fair to go after who badly misquoted him tbh. Whoever it was made Alf look bad, and should be brought to book. If it leads back to our door then so be it, but its not fair on the lad, who was careful to pick his words etc.



05 Feb 2020 12:56:48
Fair comment tinman, unfortunately it won't happen.

I once posted our players should be prohibited from commenting to the press about how they are going to do this an going to do that an then it comes back to bite them in the as.

No probs wi other teams doing it tho great to see it happen to them.



05 Feb 2020 14:26:13
I don't like the DR much, but, to be fair, they've actually cleared Alfie's name by exposing this rubbish. We've all known for a while that the minute we were looking a threat up here that this witch hunt would start to disrupt our rhythm. I agree, our Media people and our Board need to be as vocal as Lemon and their Press team were on this. The SFA should tell Sky to go do one after this as it demeans our league.



05 Feb 2020 15:08:36
Hi I don’t usually come out here but I think whoever is responsible for the way Morelos has been played here needs sacking.
I actually feel a bit sorry for lad to be honest.



05 Feb 2020 15:21:48
Rangers and our media arrange the translator for sky. I believe she is lady who teaches him English
A total c up.



05 Feb 2020 16:25:52
I hope when King steps down Traynor is sent packing the guy is a nightmare.



05 Feb 2020 17:36:28
bt coverage of tic game tonight, mutton strachan, craigan, and a late call up fanny baws stewart, how bias is that, everyone a gers hater.



05 Feb 2020 18:25:36
Couldn’t give a monkeys who commentates when they are on. It’s having to listen to them on BT and sky when we are playing that annoys me.



05 Feb 2020 10:30:02
just seen the squad for Europa tie, so what's with NO Hastie, NO Jones? if SG doesn't rate them why did he sign them? Jones blotted his copy book, but apologised and is now fit again AND he is a decent speed merchant, Hastie on the other hand was a big mistake, still not the finished article, but why are they overlooked by the likes of Barker and Ojo?



05 Feb 2020 11:36:33
Coulna care less who he picks for Europa tie ritchie, I just want him to pick winning squads for the domesics.

Was good to get ito Europa league for the cash but I thinks it's affecting our performance here.



05 Feb 2020 12:07:43
Ritchie I've been saying this for a while. Buy players and don't play them. JJ gives us a different dimension going forward and is also direct. Other than Kent we dint have this.

Blue Billy I agree our domestic league is our bread and butter but an extended run in Europe would certainly benefit money wise.

Let's see how it pans out.



05 Feb 2020 12:17:36
How was Hastie a big mistake? Signed for buttons and has loads of potential?



05 Feb 2020 12:38:45
Not sure I would have picked Barker over Jones either, but what do I know.



05 Feb 2020 12:58:55
I'm expecting pelters here but I think Gerard is slightly stubborn and arrogant when it comes to team selection and formation. Hate to say, but I think JJ's rangers career is finished before it started. Yes, he made a stupid tackle, got injured and suspended but he's apologised and is now fit for selection.



05 Feb 2020 14:31:17
Sir Struth, if that's the case with SG, he is a bloody hypocrite, he's put a few howlers of tackles in himself. From a financial point of view, we'll earn much more from Europe than we ever will from Domestic Competitions. SG just might live to regret some of his decisions, but hey, as I said before that's what we pay him for.



05 Feb 2020 16:21:15
I can’t believe people on here think it’s that tackle. It’s his friggin attitude at training. Thinks he rules the roost.



05 Feb 2020 10:25:53
I see there is no place in the europa squad for JJ.
I've not seen the squad list yet but, that decision baffles me.
Either Stevie G has issues with JJ or JJ is not cutting it in training.
He was outstanding in the qualification rounds but, since his sending off against the paraniod bunch it seems to have got ti#ts up for him.



05 Feb 2020 14:23:08
Jj is better than both barker and ojo.



05 Feb 2020 06:39:29
Cant think off the top of my head . i know the likes of super mo was at celtic then came to rangers. but had anyone ever played for rangers. as in 1st team then went onto play for the mhanks? don't want to cheat n look it up rather see what you all say. and kenny miller doesn't count. he just goes to anyone thatl take him.



05 Feb 2020 07:20:04
Presley conn.



05 Feb 2020 07:22:15
