    Martin literally said in his post match interviews "I'm glad we didn't get beat". Rangers were at home to Dundee.

    Thanks Tom. Loving that. Toxic by mid August. He will be gone by end of October. I wonder who he will blame this time. No doubt the Ibrix faithful. He talks a lot about mentality and then fails to understand the club's mentality.

    Bizarre isn't it. That is like when we were in the champ, I am glad we didn't lose to the equivalent of Yeovil

    Yeah. Apart from when playing Celtic, draws are losses as far as the fans are concerned.

    Unless he shapes up the results and extremely fast he is going to get humbled by their supporters big time, they are far far less tolerant than at any club he has been at before.

    Has he not done his homework. When were Rangers last the big team.in Scotland. In the nineties. Who were managers (player) Graeme Souness then Walter Smith. They want blood and thunder football and he gives then tippy happy **** and says good home draw. Not a clue<laugh>

    Yep. So much this. A little part of me (only my little toe) feels sorry for him

    Just seen one of them describe him as "a pound shop Guardiola".

    Where have I heard that before?

    I think I hate Martin more than any other saints manager. I hope he fails and gets binned rapidly.

    Every time he fails a job, he ends up with a better one.

    If he’s sacked by Rangers, he’ll get Chelsea or Dortmund or something.

    Mate. You just need to chill s little
    Martin was awful but no worse than. Jones. Pellegrino. Rednapp and others. Let it go
    . On the plus side he will be gone in October

    Yes but he’s such a smug twat. Jones, pelligrino, redknap, Branfoot etc were crap but they did their best. Martin knew russball would get us relegated and he continued, even took swipes at the fans and media.

    Lol comments from the BBC on Rangers last night...familiar?


    Andy C: It's grim watching. So many times the Gers gave the ball away under self-inflicted pressure. Souttar and Butland seem to be the only two who know what they're doing.

    Graham: How long is it going to take for the players to adapt to the new "style of play" before the fans lose faith? Because right now I see no improvements at all, if anything the last few games I've watched has been the worst watch in years.

    Ray: All that matters is they are through that's it. If they play as badly against Brugge and go through that's all that matters as well. You need good players to play Martin's system and the extra money may well help him in that quest.

    Brian: Another woefully poor performance from this team - I honestly don't know what is going on under Martin and I fear that it's not going to end well and will only set the club back even further. Sloppy defending and wasteful on the counter.

    Florentina: A lot of negative comments as usual with Rangers, but we're through to the next round. People also forget, that if it wasn't for our efforts in Europe the last few years, where would Scotland's coefficient be? Well done Rangers.

    Good thing he learnt loads whilst with us and was more open to adapting as he said in his interview on Sky. In his mind telling the keeper to pass to the centre back rather than the full back is probably a huge adjustment
