MOTM Poll St Johnstone v Rangers - 17:30 Saturday - Viaplay Sports

[rossgers]

Really poor first half but quality goal. Need much more urgency about our play.

Usual issues. Jack and Lundstram unable to get a grip on the game and move the ball quickly.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Hard to know what to expect in the 2nd half. Only winning at half time in 2 of the previous seven under Beale, Motherwell and Ross County, and the second halves became slogs.

The other 5 we weren’t leading at half time saw marked second half inprovements.

hopefully this isn’t a slog that we just win 1-0 and can kick on with a few more in the 2nd half

 

[Diego Maradona]

Why did var not look at the Jack goal?

Why do you think?

 

[TPP]

Jack and lundstrum are playing it far too negatively. Tillman also needs to make more angles. Sakala motm for me thus far.

Ref is a cheating lady's front bottom.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Was that not another that hit the post and someone put in the rebound?

was it not in Europe and it was ruled out for offside?

 

[tonforty]

He either can't run with the ball anymore or is being told to hit it long for Sakala.

I don’t think he has the legs now for some reason. Unable to beat a man with the ball.

 

[A1bertz]

Alan Muir shiting his pants yet again.

Zero foul there from Morelos.

Done it a couple of times. Ball breaks to us so he calls a foul. And that the yellow card for Tillman.? Fecking joke...The big lassie just ran into him.

 

[Teddy Casablanca]

Scotland must surely have the worst referees in football. No Scottish referees at the world cup for about 20 years says it all. We see poor referees from other countries on TV and in our European matches but the useless shower of cnuts up here really are worst.

 

[Cyberniv]

This has potential to be the worst refereeing performance I've EVER seen.

You must be young.

 

[NYC Davie]

Borna’s strike was magnificent. But see that move on the right, Malik’s backheel and Fashion’s strike? THAT’S what we can do.

 

[Barnster Bear]

Beers supped, curry ready for after the game so don't disappoint me Rangers.

 

[Bluenose1979]

was it not in Europe and it was ruled out for offside?

Can't remember mate... vague recollection of him having a cracker of an effort off the post at Ibrox and someone turning in the rebound, but can't think of the game or who scored - or if I'm completely imagining it

 

[wilso10]

Any chance McCoist could highlight the non foul by Alfie?

Probably no chance.

Christ even when he's not commentating there's still fans having digs at him.

 

[FFGR1972]

The Tilman incident when he won the corner was bonkers as well, boy literally booted him before it, if it hadn’t been Tilman and his ability to keep it in a phone box we likely lose the ball.

 

[TerryMunro]

We will never see the Tillman yellow card or the knocked off 2nd goal again. That is embarrassing refereeing.

 

[The Lone Ranger]

Anyone else thats watching on Sky got glitching on Viasat 1 ? Few blocky bits every couple of minutes.

Not happening on any other channels. Before I waste time getting dish realigned.

Not every couple of minutes but it’s happened a few times that half

 

[Pollokbear]

Muir trying to screw us rotten in this game.
Tillman booking was ridiculous as was the free kick against Alfie.
About time the board go after these bastards like Clancy, Muir & co.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Can't remember mate... vague recollection of him having a cracker of an effort off the post at Ibrox and someone turning in the rebound, but can't think of the game or who scored - or if I'm completely imagining it

I'm certain it was in Europe

 

[scottishpoet]

Why Borna again. Give Devine a chance even if he is more right than left back but he might just stop the crosses coming in.

i think Borna has shown us why Borna

 

[Leif Erikson]

The commentry from Craighan is laughable. Sakala tugged back clear foul- nothing in it.
Tilman clear foul and deserved yellow. Where do you start with this pish.

He's an utter cock - not enough contact for Sakala to go down when he was fouled going through on goal, but the St Johnstone player should have gone down in the box for their supposed penalty.

 

[Macky]

You’re telling me there’s not another player in that team capable of taking a free kick with their left foot ?

Considering he’s the only left footer apart from Davies then yes I don’t believe anyone else should take them. Do you understand football?

 

[bilkobear]

Any chance McCoist could highlight the non foul by Alfie?

Probably no chance.

Nah we are intent on discussing half time pies.

 

[scooter70]

Look at somebody eating a pie at half-time but don’t review a move that resulted in a goal

Quality

 

[Thor]

There’s more holes on Michael Stewart’s face than on a golf course fs!

 

[Cambuslangger]

Should be two nil and game much easier. Refs are shocking in this league.

 

[borders billy]

Anyone else thats watching on Sky got glitching on Viasat 1 ? Few blocky bits every couple of minutes.

Aye me as well mate.
Was the same with the Aberdeen game.
Shite quality that includes Stewart and craigan..

 

[bilkobear]

He's an utter cock - not enough contact for Sakala to go down when he was fouled going through on goal, but the St Johnstone player should have gone down in the box for their supposed penalty.

Fckn incredible how biased the analysis is.

 

[scooter70]

The Tilman incident when he won the corner was bonkers as well, boy literally booted him before it, if it hadn’t been Tilman and his ability to keep it in a phone box we likely lose the ball.

Ach there were only about 4 fouls on him in that one

 

[Arkansasgerstill]

Another dreadful, pedestrian, low quality first half, with only an occasional intervention by Tillman to brighten the day. Quality goal from next to nothing. We are a long way short of where we need to be as a team. It truly is baffling how this group got to a Europa final and can then look so poor game after game. The results are better, the performances are not, but fortunately our defence looks more solid that it did.

 

[Cletus Kasady]

Lundstram can't continue to be a starter.

Worse than a man down.

 

[Crown_Defender]

Never mind we could have Tav taking them.

He is not carrying an injury he is unfortunately a poor defender who used to get forward and get good ball over ,now he is like a carthorse going forward added to the fact he can't defend to me means we have to look for better,if it's not Devine then we need to buy their is no place for keeping players through sentiment.

He has gone backwards this season, no doubt. Difficult to replicate what he did the previous two seasons mind you. I really hope we don't allow it to get to the stage of the support turning on him. I mean we have a minority that have always disliked him but, it's creeping into more and more fans now.

 

[barrheadbear]

In the big scheme of things winning is the be all and end all of a game but a little bit of entertainment along the way wouldn't go amiss. Our games are, with the odd exception, devoid of quality, they realky are a hard watch.

 

[Whitehorse]

Jack's goal should definitely have stood.
Jeez I forgot Craigen is such a throbber

 

[Kentbear]

A Tillman Lowry link up would work well, needs a half hour.

 

[Gazzaflag]

I'm certain it was in Europe

Against Ajax? It was ruled out for offside and was a consolation goal anyway, but cracking finish.

 

[No Money No Problems]

The direction that Tillman gets on the back heel to play it on to a running Sakala is absolutely fùcking ridiculous.

 

[Leif Erikson]

Christ even when he's not commentating there's still fans having digs at him.

Is it not a valid point? Instead they're talking about some guy eating a pie.

If that was Boyd he'd have 100% mentioned it.

 

[TheEgg]

Usual issues. Jack and Lundstram unable to get a grip on the game and move the ball quickly.

heres hoping we get Raskin as he likes to get the ball moving forward, as does Cantwell

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Are they only watering the one half ?

 

[final_straws]

Convinced the majority of our issues come from the midfield (Jack & Lundstrum).

Jack isn't breaking forward like he has done in the good 2nd halves he's had recently.

Lundstrum is slow & can't make an incisive forward pass nor can he drive forward with the ball at pace

 

[Stevie13000]

There’s more holes on Michael Stewart’s face than on a golf course fs!

The moon you mean.

 

[Sherbet Dab]

Here Emma shows your pie.

 

[WillowBear]

One for the oldies. Borna Barasic reminds of our left back in late 1980's, Stuart Munro in the sense that he got a lot of criticism no matter how many new Left backs Souness brought in.

Munro always returned as the steady man. Hope Barasic ignores the noise on here about him at times.

With all due respect to Stuart Munro he was a defensive solid left back and did not have the attacking attributes of Barasic. When Robertson arrived he was on a totally different level.

 

[Hallers]

Move the ball quickly & keep the tempo up.

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

Did Borna not score earlier this season? Right foot curled effort?

That was a friendly wasn't it?

 

[Macdonsj]

St Johnstone starting to morph into Aberdeen

Weeks of dross then oh look Rangers better wake up

 

[Quijibo]

Was that not another that hit the post and someone put in the rebound?

Must have been. Can’t see a goal for him this season other than today.

 

[The Janny]

Pitch being heavily watered at half time.

 

[TheHistorian]

Saints crowding their own box throughout the first half is not a good watch in a cup game, and Rangers were needing something special to get through to get some decent shots in.

They got it from Borna big time. Hopefully that will now open things up as bit more in the 2nd half.

 

[Quijibo]

That was a friendly wasn't it?

Must have been, can’t see the goal anywhere.
