Match Thread Motherwell v Rangers - 12:00 Sunday - Sky Sports

[BSPECIAL]

Once again cowardly cheating refereeing at its best with O'Donnell. Goes for the card then realised he's already booked and shat it. Cheating is what it is . No wonder football here is in the state it is. . They fall it's a foul. They foul it's play on. Every game this happens.

 

[Potnbear]

Some hurting bead rattlers on this thread, Merry fekking Xmas scumbags

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Well done Rangers! Thanks for making this a great Christmas.
On to Wednesday - Let’s keep the pressure on the manky (unts! Their bottle will crash. WATP.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Just caught the second half of the game, our passing and ball control is amateur at best, if we give the ball away this easily at the beggar dome we will leave with nothing, I cant believe that so many professional players in the one team struggle to pass the ball to each other,

We were shooting into a gale force wind

 

[TheHistorian]

FT 2- 0 . A makeshift team on a slippery pitch with a high wind, not ideal for pretty football but Rangers get the job done..

 

[TheFrenchTank]

To the 19th Century Terrorist lurkers.

Hope your Christmas is shite!

GIUY!

 

[LJ50]

Well done to the players today. Horrific conditions to play in, against a side that were right up for a battle and a referee that was… let’s say lenient towards them.

Got the couple of goals and controlled the game from there. Could, and maybe should, have had a couple more. But 3 points was all that mattered.

 

[Fothyman]

Very comfortable win in terrible conditions. we were fantastic in first half and should probably have won 4 or 5 nil.

Gap back to 2 points, 3 more in the next game then on to the scum.

 

[cooperman]

Good away win in terrible conditions. 3pts well done.

it's mental we have to play in weather like that

 

[Blootoonboy]

Job done but the standard of officiating continues to endanger our players. Hopefully Sima and Goldson are OK.

If our referees are all FIFA grade are they not told the rules by a governing body?

Why is a yellow card offence in England for example not in Scotland? Why do our officials apply a very lenient approach to booking the opposition?

 

[cw3038]

3 pts,difficult conditions……happy days.

 

[Lerwickstan]

Excellent win in atrocious conditions against hammer throwers that were aided and abetted by questionable refereeing decisions.

 

[TPP]

that never happened did it why make up one load of shite

Nah I just made it up ya roger ramjet

 

[noucamp72]

Brilliant 3 points in those conditions today.

 

[Leif Erikson]

Good to get the 3 points but concerning to only score 2 goals plus the 2nd half was pathetic

You ever played football in a tornado mate?

 

[WinkieWATP]

Yeah I hope Barbour does get blown off the gantry, the rabid boot

Thought she was going to be giving the boys in the gantry their Christmas treat

 

[Mal3]

2 offside goals and several fresh air swipes. That's our Dess

 

[giogaddi]

"Back in ma day we'd have scored 5 in a tornado"

 

[Huistras Fringe]

Reminds me of Racey’s Rocket!

Superb Rangers.

Finished the game with a middle to front of :

King
Sterling
Lammers
Wright
Matondo
Dessers

We continue on track for the top

If you’d said that to someone 9 weeks ago they’d have laughed at you.

You’d have laughed at it yourself.

Matondo is a truly awful footballer in every sense of the word

 

[Jlakeman]

Why was the Motherwell captain not sent of for a second yellow? Dissent towards the ref

The boy who dived in the box was also on a yellow, might be the same guy

 

[theryesider]

Good 3 points as the grinch head would have been on over Xmas.

 

[Ten Ton Tony]

Well done Rangers. We were up against XI thugs, an official who let them assault us with impunity, and some absolutely horrendous conditions. Three points and a clean sheet is excellent work. They should've had a MAXIMUM of 9 men on the pitch by full time.

Just hope we haven't picked up more injuries. The Goldson one is a particular worry.

We finished that game with

Butland

Tavernier Souttar Balogun Ridvan

King Sterling Lammers

Wright Dessers Matondo

We're really working miracles under big Phil with this injury situation.

 

[Drovavan Dünaditch]

We’ll put that second half down to the conditions. Merry Christmas

 

[1BrianLaudrup]

Football badly needs to go with Wenger's suggestion on offsides. What advantage does the striker gain from his knee being a ball hair in front of the defender. Dessers second goal really shouldn't be getting chopped off.

 

[super coop11]

Job done Rangers

 

[daven37]

Job done.

Up the road.

Everyone have a Happy Christmas.

 

[wakerickman]

Excellent result in very difficult conditions. Couple of early goals turned out to be vital. Dessers second looked onside. Very tight call. He finished both chances really well. Balogun was immense again. Dowell and Dujon Sterling worked well. Happy with that. Merry Christmas bears.

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Good result brilliant start.

Should be 3-0 was onside, suppose if the officials on the pitch spend 90 mins bending rules and causing problems why not VAR too.

Ref issue is massive they are clearly told to behave that way, its not one ref its all of them.

 

[The Busby Bear]

A big 3 points. Second half was a pretty tough watch but the team battled well. Just shows where we are with injuries with the 11 finishing the game.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Matondo is a truly awful footballer in every sense of the word

How many senses are there?

 

[Artful Dodger]

First half excellent could have been a lot more second half we struggled to string passes together and made it hard for ourselves by giving the ball away constantly.
Saying all that I’d take any win at the moment. Keeping the momentum going is the main thing.

 

[Del]

3 points and up the road. Well done Rangers.

Brutal conditions but got the job done early.

 

[sofakineazy]

Very pleased with that result. Puts pressure back on the smellies.

 

[SDF91]

3 points and up the road. Controlled the game and dealt with the conditions well.

On to Wednesday.

 

[LJ50]

2 offside goals and several fresh air swipes. That's our Dess

And a neat assist.

 

[butch70]

All the signs of a good team and very very similar to walters teams a wee bit of luck with injuries now till the end of season and you never know

 

[Leif Erikson]

Just caught the second half of the game, our passing and ball control is amateur at best, if we give the ball away this easily at the beggar dome we will leave with nothing, I cant believe that so many professional players in the one team struggle to pass the ball to each other,

Must be a coincidence that our performance worsened as the conditions did.

 

[Skyy Bluenose]

Poor again from your big friend.

Which one? You’ve criticized every single Rangers player today. I struggle to see how you’re even a Rangers supporter.

 

[EC54]

How can u judge that Dessers was offside the lines didn't even show u that he was offside. When it's as tight as that the goal should stand

 

[BigBlueAngus]

If our referees are all FIFA grade are they not told the rules by a governing body?

Why is a yellow card offence in England for example not in Scotland? Why do our officials apply a very lenient approach to booking the opposition?

It's mental, it really is.

 

[FamousRFC]

Nah I just made it up ya roger ramjet

Of course you did , roger ramjet how original fucking roaster

 

[instantkarma]

 

[HowdenEnder]

3 points, a clean sheet, and given some of the thuggish challenges hopefully no serious injuries.

Well done Rangers, I can get on with my Christmas now.

Anyone know where to get a tree, a turkey and some tinsel?

 

[insanicdrunk]

Good to get the 3 points but concerning to only score 2 goals plus the 2nd half was pathetic

Really. Did you see the conditions?

 

[TheLizardKing]

Hope Santa gets the ref a whistle for Christmas. The standard of officiating is beyond embarrassing.

 

[borderbluenose]

To the 19th Century Terrorist lurkers.

Hope your Christmas is shite!

GIUY!

You mean GIRUY to the lurkers

 

[BrooklynBlue]

That was excellent, especially given the circumstances.

Early goals (should have been more) and managed the game well throughout.

 

[Cyberniv]

Good solid win with bare bones squad in a hurricane and a special needs referee.
3 points, up the road.

 

[Leif Erikson]

2 offside goals and several fresh air swipes. That's our Dess

For the non negative bastards among us - an assist, an incorrectly disallowed goal and a marginally offside goal.

 

[DEJABLUE62]

Just caught the second half of the game, our passing and ball control is amateur at best, if we give the ball away this easily at the beggar dome we will leave with nothing, I cant believe that so many professional players in the one team struggle to pass the ball to each other,

It's a hurricane out there, our players deserve credit for a great first half show, well are just dirty hammerthrowers
