He turned to the Govan at one point to Gee up the crowd and I thought, you are the feckin reason the crowd is going mental most of the time with your passing backwards.
No he wasn’t. That is just nonsense.

I felt the same way. But then I remembered something from many moons ago. I think it was a game against Rapid Vienna (maybe even the one where the thug broke his leg), but Jim Baxter sent a ball into the box that was skied so high that it almost went above the floodlights. The keeper missed it, and we scored. And afterwards, Baxter was asked about that "cross", and he said that he'd been watching the keeper against crosses, and he hit it high because "Ah kent he would drap it".I was raging at the cross that Tillman ended up scoring. Floated, way too high, should have been the keeper's all day long. Somehow we ended up scoring the goal that won the tie.
His backward passing was atrocious the first half. Contantly moving forward and turning back when chasing the gameNo he wasn’t. That is just nonsense.
I’d love to sit down with him and find out what’s really going through his head, both when he’s good and when he’s bad, are there outside factors causing it.
Very interesting case for SP
This 100%.There was a couple of times it was worth your rage but a lot of the time he had nothing to pass to.
Add in that he looks like he has zero confidence in Sands and we might have the answer.I thought he was totally fine
Kent was doubled up constantly tonight. He had literally nothing to hit in front of him at times

Where else was he supposed to play it? Kent was doubled up, they had 11 men packed behind the ball. Everyone was doing it, but aye just single out Barisic just for the sake of it.
And post about something he did mid way through the 2nd half when he was playing well.
That's precisely his problem!Think he really suffers from confidence issues

Iv always been a fan of Borna. Doesnt mean its not frustrating to see him turn back over and over again and passing the buck to someone else. Yeah there was limited options available not denying that. I was only referring to his first half performance.
His first half performance was fine. He kept recycling the play when there were no options in front of him, he kept the ball, unlike other who were sloppy with the ball. He was involved in winning the penalty. He was involved in the winner and was solid defensively.
“He turned to the Govan at one point to Gee up the crowd and I thought, you are the feckin reason the crowd is going mental most of the time with your passing backwards.”
That above was your post about him tonight. Anyone going mental about him tonight is clueless. He did well
Add in that he looks like he has zero confidence in Sands and we might have the answer.
Aye sound mate.
So everyone around me that was getting frustrated in the first half with him is wrong and thats that?
Kent being double up on wouldn't happen as often if Borna attacked more dragged a player away from himI thought he was totally fine

Well like you they are clueless and just as normal use him as the whipping boy for no reason.
Aye let's pretend the only issue with Barisic is tonight.
He really hates Borna. I just agree to disagree with him on him.Doubt you’d know what happens at Ibrox. You sit in here rather than at the games.
He was absolutely fine tonight.
Haha no bother Captain Rangers.Well like you they are clueless and just as normal use him as the whipping boy for no reason.
He really hates Borna. I just agree to disagree with him on him.
Is he inconsistent? Aye
Is the cristicim way over the top? Majority of the time? Aye. Seems to be like when someone starts to annoy you everything they do pisses you off and some are like that with him.
That makes no sense, go back at watch the first half. Kent stood on the touchline every time Barisic came forward with the ball, no movement whatsoever in front of him, if Kent is being doubled up on he needs to move around to try and leave space for others.Kent being double up on wouldn't happen as often if Borna attacked more dragged a player away from him

Seems that way. Not sure why as watching on tele is completely different to watching in person.
Barisic really is inconsistent and he does my nut in with some of his defending but tonight he was absolutely fine. There was no space in front of him in the 1st half. They had packed their team in front of us and was very little space. He always kept recycling the play and kept the ball. Involved in 2 out of 3 goals and was very rarely sloppy with the ball all night compared to the other 3 defenders whose passing was very sloppy.
I find odd and can’t understand why people make up shite just because they have a strange obsession with a player.

When Borna has the ball it’s Kent (or others) job to actually move. Noticeable difference in the second half when Kent came off the touchline and BB could get into the final third.
& what if he was told not to get too far up the park so Sands wouldn't be left exposed? Shouldn't Lawrence be helping pull the markers away? Shouldn't Kent be making runs to try & lose his markers?Kent being double up on wouldn't happen as often if Borna attacked more dragged a player away from him
I don't think you even watched the game.How many overlapping runs did he make?
How many times did he get to the byline?
How many times did he run with the ball to commit players and create space?
The answer to all three is zero.
You actually have people on here feeling sorry for a guy because he's low on confidence. As I said earlier, he's not a wee guy who needs his hand held through games...if he does, he's not good enough to be a Rangers player.
This is what folk don't see - expect a forward pass constantly even when there is nothing on.I thought he was totally fine

Posts of a guy who watched the match on tv rather than at the game. You’d see there was absolutely no space behind to make runs, every time Kent had the ball they had 2 or 3 men on him. Where the fuck is Borna supposed to go? I dont think Tav did it once either in the first half. Do you have a go at him for that? Tav gave the ball away a LOT more than Borna tonight.
He was low in confidence but he did absolutely nothing wrong tonight. Was involved in 2 out of 3 goals.
As usual you’re posting absolute nonsense after watching a game on a tv at home. Being at a football game is totally different.
Just back from the game and reading through the match thread.
As per, some amount of absolutely clueless people.
Of that entire defence he was the only player that never lost possession frequently.
Yes a lot of it was sideways and backwards but his ball retention was top notch.
You watch Gio on the touchline, not once did he show frustration at Borna moving it inside or behind.
It was just the "get it up the fucking park" halfwits that lost the plot.
Oh look at Mr Ibrox there. Well done you were at the game tonight.
You're also completely missing the point when it comes to Barisic. Obviously a forward pass isn't always on, but the point is that even when Barisic receives the ball and has space to drive into, his first thought is to stop and play the safe pass. Not just tonight, but almost every game he plays for us.
Malmo last year was the same, as was Celtic 3-0 at Parkhead and the worst of all was the Europa League Final where he looked genuinely scared of the ball.
NonsenseHis backward passing was atrocious the first half. Contantly moving forward and turning back when chasing the game
And his teammates.
Anyone can play safe passes all night. Goldson can be frustrating, but a lot of the time he's trying to open up defences, same with Tav.
If that's all you'll say that's fine as it plenty enough as it isAll I’ll say is that I’m absolutely delighted we have Ridvan. I’ve seen enough from Borna for one lifetime.
Aye, those left backs that help you get to European finals are a real pain in the arse.All I’ll say is that I’m absolutely delighted we have Ridvan. I’ve seen enough from Borna for one lifetime.
Excellent. We won't get to read any more of your drivel.All I'll say is that I’m absolutely delighted we have Ridvan. I’ve seen enough from Borna for one lifetime.
He broke down most of our attacking play in that final. One decent half hour tonight doesn’t make him a starting 11 Ranger for me. Our standards have to be higher than him.Aye, those left backs that help you get to European finals are a real pain in the arse.
He doesn't need to do mazy runs, he should be capable of passing forwards, maybe skipping by a player, playing a one-two inwards to space to take a player with him.& what if he was told not to get too far up the park so Sands wouldn't be left exposed? Shouldn't Lawrence be helping pull the markers away? Shouldn't Kent be making runs to try & lose his markers?
It's hilarious folk thinking Borna should be making mazy runs up the park & putting on dazzling displays while everyone else is standing holding their dicks.
Maybe gio told him to play like that first halfHe broke down most of our attacking play in that final. One decent half hour tonight doesn’t make him a starting 11 Ranger for me. Our standards have to be higher than him.
