Match Thread Rangers v Dundee - 19:30 Tuesday - Sky Sports

[Orange County]

It's the players not the manager.

You will be lucky if there's 3 players from this starting 11 playing in the first game of next season.

Heard that for years.
The usual suspects will get wheeled out again.

 

[Jazzman]

Replace him with who?

Go 3 at back with Yfeko??

 

[Broom-loneranger]

Is that meant to be them symbolically walking out or something?

 

[90sbear]

Give the fans something to cheer about and take tav off please

 

[bluetonic]

We’ve got some of the worst defenders, attackers and midfielders going.

£4.5m for Diomande. He’s no better than what Dundee have. Our attacking play is pathetic.

The worst side I’ve seen in a long time

 

[Jelle1880]

Anyway well done the UB, final disputing the Broomloan.

What does that mean ?

 

[Pioneer]

That's not on Phil though. He's just playing a bad hand.

Of course it’s not on Phil.

 

[Kinghornloyal]

Genuinely hope 1 at most.

Nonsense. How are you getting rid of the players with contracts or affording new players whilst leaving the current players in the stand whilst still playing them. 9 players starting have years left so how will you move them

 

[Chief Rafferty]

Guy has been in 6 months, won the League Cup could potentially win the Scottish Cup and nearly caught the scum and people want him sacked tonight!!! This place is an asylum!!

 

[Flying_Scotsman]

Maybe he got his big move to the EPL.

Went onto to Google to see what the lowest rated league in the world is just to make a pun about what EPL could stand for-apparently Scotland is the lowest rated- so no jokes required.

 

[AppleBear]

All I can say is… fair play UB for coming out loud at the start of the second half.

 

[Del1872]

Is that meant to be them symbolically walking out or something?

It’s their last game sitting in BF1.

 

[RTD-BEAR]

I honestly think some were told weeks ago.

I think he has spoke about open to conversations about players future

Not going lie is fine line to tread really to open and they will give up and wait to move on

Last year Beale talked them all up for contracts and as soon as things were out of reach ditched them ...... that was bad people management but maybe not management of the team

 

[Gameboy]

How’s Muscat getting on?

In China now in second place, three points behind.

 

[AlbertzLeftBoot]

Ah brilliant, no subs.

Thanks Phil.

 

[inigo]

If he’s lost the dressing room, the dressing room can go.

There is plenty of effort , it's quality that is lacking.

 

[ColdLager]

Perhaps our player contracts are really poor. Win bonuses should be significantly big enough that every player is motivated to win at all costs. There must be something fundamentally wrong with our set up that allows duds to remain being duds

 

[RTID55]

What does that mean ?

There moving to the copland next season its them leaving therw section in the broomy theve held for years

 

[The Iceman]

This style of play is not going to win the league next year either. Whatever it is.

 

[Hank Hill]

Aye great time to try that overhead kick from an angle van Basten wouldn't try

 

[McQueen]

Either Phil has told a sizeable number already to beat it in the summer or he's lost this dressing room already.

That is not a squad playing for their manager.

If he’s told them they aren’t in his plans and they’ve downed tools then he was right to tell them they’re not in his plans.

They obviously can’t play for him so get them all to fúck.

Absolute dog shit this lot.

 

[westenclosurebear]

Cantwell running the show here. When he’s good he’s special

King should be nowhere near a Rangers team. Raskin and Diomande are not helped by the absolute dross round about them. Good players do need others in the team to help them

Two massive under achievers in Cantwell and Raskin.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

I find it increadible that some people still find excuses for these players.

Rotten to the core. No leadership, no passion, no desire. Weak mentality, perennial losers.

 

[Jazzman]

2 minutes into second half Tav thinks he is an inside Left ffs. I despair,

 

[Growler]

McCausland at fault initially for both by not attempting to stop the cross. Same thing tav is slaughtered for (rightly at times)

If that was Tav in McAusland’s shoes, this place would be all in on Tav.

Given it wasn’t, and they’re still all in on him, it really says a lot about some.

 

[TheCanonburyCaniggia]

That’s the players

youre trolling now. he selects the players!! Lundstum should never have been on the park at the weekend to begin with. his head has gone for weeks. manager picks the same players that failed not only him but every manager that has managed them. he stuck with them till it was too late, that is 100% on him!!

 

[Trafalgar]

What does that mean ?

I'd imagine because they are going to copland next year. No cryptic meaning

 

[TeddyBear72]

A goal

Someone said McInnes in now. I can't help thinking of the two types of dressing rooms we would have. Phil talking about how he lives football and your all much better than you think and McInnes going radio rental. Can't help thinking how different a bluenose ex player in charge Vs mild mannered Phil. It's just a thought before you all slate me

Id give him cup final but Jesus Christ.

What has happened this last month.

 

[Kirbys House]

Heard that for years.
The usual suspects will get wheeled out again.

I'd be genuinely amazed if that's the case.

And at that point would have serious questions of big Phil.

 

[sonofbunk]

Silva is always on his heels when the ball is flicked wide.

Totally reactive player

 

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

What does that mean ?

Sorry sir, corrected.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

What's the point in this? Just stick on the youngsters who will give us some effort

 

[Kinghornloyal]

So ask a winger to stop goals from RB. Not the first goals conceded from there King, maybe the Tav apologists need to wake up to a DEFENDER who cannot DEFEND. It’s in the job title ffs

A right winger is expected to track back the opposing teams left back. Especially if their wide player had made.a run inside which Tav has followed. Neither of the 2 goals had a.single think to do with Tavernier. If you think that then you are just saying so due yo a hatred of Tavernier

 

[Kingdom Bear]

Wee Ridvan is the only player on the pitch for us that is interested in breaking lines …. Bugger all creativity

 

[The Goalie]

quite the insight from Miller, Rangers will need at least 2 if they are going to win this game.

No shit, Kenny

 

[Boab4]

youre trolling now. he selects the players!! Lundstum should never have been on the park at the weekend to begin with. his head has gone for weeks. manager picks the same players that failed not only him but every manager that has managed them. he stuck with them till it was too late, that is 100% on him!!

His tactics make absolutely no difference when you see the players we have available.

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

Who thought that Silva was worth £35M? Stevie Wonder?

 

[Del1872]

There is plenty of effort , it's quality that is lacking.

Effort only takes you so far. I would give 100% but doesn’t make me good enough.

 

[Cyberniv]

More aimless hoofs up the park. Cleared, no challenge for second ball. 3 times in the last 90 seconds.

 

[Todd The Prod]

Dundee are actually spraying the ball about better than us.

 

[RTD-BEAR]

Time showed nothing he’s a great guy and a legend but we got scudded off the rats ffs! He wasn’t gonna succeed in the league. You can believe he would but changes nothing! Clement will be the same

I think we should have cased better of he had got 2/3 of the players he wanted

Not saying he would have won but we definately would have been in better shape than with what Wilson gave us

 

[rex555]

Agree. Squad’s piss poor.

The squad is only piss poor when it's not winning. It was revitalised when we beat Betis 3-2, won a cup and went on a winning run to put us on a path to the title. We've been decimated by injuries (mostly recently), but we still had enough of a squad available when our bottle literally collapsed when it was in our hands.

Even before injuries, this long ball nonsense had been countered by teams. If Clement starts next season with new players built around the same tactic, he won't last long. Same if he continues with the delusional press comments that from the outside, looks like he's watching a different team every week?

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

A right winger is expected to track back the opposing teams left back. Especially if their wide player had made.a run inside which Tav has followed. Neither of the 2 goals had a.single think to do with Tavernier. If you think that then you are just saying so due yo a hatred of Tavernier

He was taken off over in Betis for not doing it

 

[Nairn Bear]

Imagine someone payin 35mil for Silva deary me

 

[Ger572]

No money think you will find your miles off.. get facts right

Where are the funds coming from then mate?

 

[SDF]

I honestly think some were told weeks ago.

I hope so.

Otherwise this is a terrible look for the manager.

 

[RotterdamBear]

Wee Tav lives to breath another half

Unreal

 

[Allysgoldenboot]

Fraser, Lowry + McKinnon. They'll offer at least what we're currently seeing (and have been for a while).

They can't be any worse that's for sure

 

[Broom-loneranger]

It’s their last game sitting in BF1.

Ahh right yeah never thought of that

 

[blubaws]

Looking at that bench is grim, Lowry and Dowell maybe.
