If you want to debate like a grown up, then you`d better take a different approach - your attempts at sarcasm/humour certainly don`t do much for your image as a commentator on the game. The manager introduced two new signings into the team at Rugby Park for a crucial league game, neither of whom had played much football in the preceding months. He changed the team that had just produced our best performance of the season against "them" at Ibrox and baffled most football pundits, let alone Rangers supporters. If we follow your logic, managers can NEVER be to blame because ultimately, everything comes down to what players do on the park. You`re entitled to your opinion, but don`t come on here attacking people who don`t share it.
This is a place for debate and discussion mostly about Rangers by (mostly) bears. If that level of sarcasm upsets you then you're probably too fragile for FF, seriously.
My logic is that the manager doesn't take the field so what happens on it is almost always down to those who do. Gerrard introduced two very experienced senior players, he was brave, wanted to be more aggressive. Defoe scored and Alfie hit the bar, that goes in, we're two up after twenty? minutes and SG's a genius. Worral then had his brainfart and our fundamental weakness, the players continuing appalling unprofessional mentality, meant they effectively gave up and then McGregor had a rare blunder. Two monumental arse-ups by players put us behind but what cost us that game and what has cost us every dropped point that corruption hasn't stolen from us was our lack of will to win.
It wasn't the manager, it was adults acting like weans. Same as happens in here, sometimes :~)
