Definitely 2 penalties as well....

****ing hell I thought they might be the usual 50/50 types, but how the ref cannot give the second I'll never know. Even if it's accidental ball to hand you still cannot charge down shots like that.

Suppose we should be thankful they never gave Masons tumble.
 
Ridiculous decision not to give the 2nd pen, ball was heading into the corner of the net, first one Isla got caught, agree two conceded was pathetic & why such a high line for the first goal.
 
He's a fukktard. He's the one who said Aguero "was a bit offside and controlled it with his hand but it was a great goal" in our game v City.

I'm sure his parents still love him

Not disputing that. ...but they were both penalties I wasn't looking for Nevilles confirmation. ...
 
I honestly think we can do it
No idea who is doing what off the pitch but there must be something
TF has gone quiet as well
I really like CR and what he is doing to us ... Of course we are not winning but it's a lot tighter than before
We look a difficult side to play against compared to before
We can of course do without Adel if there is something but I can't believe the club would allow the last interview to go out if there was the problem 9s claimed ... I can't believe that

We have learnt already how focussed CR is and how he executes a game plan he has to be given credit for the courage of what he is doing and Rangers fans must learn by now to trust ... Understandable however after the journey we have had and the diet we have been fed

We have been hoodwinked by a pair of media whores we have longed for a fresh start when we have it ... It's crap after a few games

Get real and stick by your team
Off to Palace next Sat now there's a match to compare us to ... Give the bloke a real chance to deliver I think he will

I have heard today from a very reliable person that Taarabt has not been turning up for training and has no interest in playing for us. This therefore rules him out of any future fixtures. He is apparently happy to run his contract out and pick up his wages in the meantime. His groin injury is an excuse used by the management to cover for this.
Also there is still a problem with Vargas and Zarate behind the scenes, they don't get on and this is affecting the team spirit, and that's the reason why we had such an horrific bench today.

Only at Ranger's eh?
Frightening scenario.

I'd agree with SB on this - Vargas has proven himself to work hard, has contributed a bit and seems to bring some good performances out of Isla.

Make Zarate train in the park if we can't cancel the loan and dine Taarabt every time he's off without a sick note from a club recognised doctor until he agrees to a non-compensation contract termination.

I was thinking the same thing at the time, but had then forgot it. Surely, if the line is much deeper and then everyone pushes up a few steps just before the kick is taken all their players will be going in the wrong direction to avoid being offside?

Unless of course they were already behind the line and timed their run because.........wait for it. They practice it on the training ground. Good teams that have pace and are well-organised are filled with players in the midfield and defence who weigh in each season with goals. They are not built around individual forwards to score all the goals. Heresy I know but losing Charlie at the end of the season may just force us to become a team again next season
 
Chris Ramsey will be good for Rangers. He can only work with who he has. He has made us harder to beat. Now to win some games from those around us....plenty of six pointers ahead.

COYRssssss!!!

I suspect CR thoughts against Arsenal and Spurs have been that we just didn't have the quality available to outplay them, so play compact and get the ball into their box as directly as possible for Austin and OBZ, who can be a handfull for anyone. At half time here on Thailand TV they just replayed the goal chancea over and over again - they only had their first goal but there were 5 or 6 for us. Yet I had felt Spurs had totally outplayed us 1st half.I don't like the way we are playing but CR knows a billion better than me. I hope against weaker opposition and maybe with Adel back he'll vary our attack a bit more.
The best way to get the ball to Bobby and Charlie is from wide positions. Did anyone watch Bournemouth play the other night? As soon as they get the ball it goes wide and whoever receives it wide (full back or midfielder) puts a cross in very early. This is the service that our front two want- to be able to attack balls when facing the goal. Our problem is that our wide players keep coming inside..... CR needs to tell the players I expect to see eight crosses delivered in each half. These are the ways to get wide a) beat the full back b) play a 1-2 in behind the full back c) overlap.

I really do not know what Isla was about yesterday. He was totally out of step with everything. Just before he was pulled off he again failed to provide any support for Charlie - you could see the exasperation in Charlie's face. For me we need
 
Away for the w/e and only just seen MOTD. We certainly did not get the rub of the Green though Rob Green might have done better for their first goal.
I am just staggered by the failure to give the handball penalty. Just plain incompetence and I would expect to see him dropped from the PL for bit.
Yet another 'nearly game', however I do strongly agree with the call to get behind Ramsey and the lads.
There is enough quality in the fully fit squad to keep us up. We don't have the luxury of a fully fit squad nor do we have much more time.
But let's keep our passion!

I was right behind the goal, watching Ferdinand yelling at our players to take an even higher line. He was supposed to be marking Kane, got the wrong side of him and then stopped running, giving him an unchallenged run to score, helped by Green imagining no one was going to try to head it before it got to him, just like at Hull. Pathetic.
 
I don't want to bring up old saggy chops but just for the sake of a bit of balance:

"Nobody could get more out of these players than we are" - Harry Redknapp 3 months ago

Redknapp's points per game this season: 0.83

Ramsay's points per game this season: 0.60
