Rangers vs Blackburn Rovers Match Thread

[Claudio Caniggia]

I agree. O’Halloran v2.

Lol, some ball from Jones!

 

[WATP_74]

Aye that ball in was absolutely shite. on a plate. 1-0

Friendlies are friendlies.

 

[Lono]

This is actually a decent test for us in a sense that most of our early European ties and league games will be against deep defending and thick banks of players.

Good goal.

 

[Bundy Bear]

? Jones has bags of pace but not enough quality and I don’t think he’s Rangers class.

Young guy, not used to playing a more open style/system. Maybe give him a chance to settle?

 

[Vote For Pedro]

What a ball. Jones will do a good job for us and get better. Great finish by Defoe too.

 

[DJ Blue]

 

[Calico Jack]

He’s been mince first 30 mins not sure where you are coming from? He’s miles out the game and when he has the ball just loses it. He also doesn’t look to have any game/positional intelligence.

The difference in level between ojo/jones and candieas/Kent is worrying for me. More so Ojo.

Pish

 

[Big Hepy]

Cracking cross

 

[Davieblue1977]

Yesssssss

 

[strathavenbear]

Cracking ball in from Jones for the goal

 

[Deleted member 125]

i was just about to post that the way Blackburn had set up it might be a better game for Alfie than Defoe.

I also questioned Jones as a starter earlier in the thread.

Maybe I should just log off now.

 

[thornhill bear]

Nice goal

Nope, you watching a dodgy stream?

 

[CalgaryLoyal]

Just proves you dont have to be a target man to be an aerial threat. All about movement and delivery

 

[AllyAdair]

Friendlies are friendlies.

Keep digging yourself a wee hole. Friendlies are friendlies but you've judged him to be shite based on them.

 

[EndOfDays]

is this the new sniff sniff? Horrendous patter

It's not patter mate, he asked how to watch the game.

Simmer down.

 

[Barnster Bear]

Defoe will score bags this season

 

[Calico Jack]

I agree. O’Halloran v2.

loool

 

[Leif Erikson]

Friendlies are friendlies.

Yet you're saying he's not good enough based on friendlies... You can't have it both ways.

 

[RFC_Champions]

Whipping boy patter is dreadful!

Players get credit when it’s due, similarly they get criticism when it’s due.

 

[1690]

Get it up ye Mulgrew.

Blackburn are giving us our sternest test so far . But we are still on top , a fine cross from Jones and finish from JD

What Ojo does well is take the ball in to feet and make space for himself, his play after that needs some work. Looks ok though and hopefully he had a part to play this season

 

[Cooperfan]

The last ten minutes we picked up the pace. Defoe just does not miss.

Hopefully make them attack more, they love passing among the defenders.

Porn fishing

 

[Tydfo1872]

jones imo is having a really good game.

 

[DocMartens]

Friendlies are friendlies.

They do some something good - friendlies are friendlies
They do something not so good (in a friendly) - he's dugmeat

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Wee JJ in the mood

 

[buffalosoldier]

special needs Ray Liotta in the Louden

What's this? Are you mocking folks with special needs?

 

[The Lone Ranger]

They are, this is what we needed. A team that try and match us

 

[Kimarcus]

Jones getting ripped on the thread then putting that brilliant ball in

You love to see it

 

[tazzabear]

Didn't use the fullback and gave the ball away

I don’t get this.
I’m not seeing the game so can’t fully comment but, is Barisic moaning at him for not being playing him in?
If not, why not?
Are they playing to instructions?
I’m asking because I’m finding it difficult understanding why Jones, who needs to impress the manager on days like this, is continually doing this when there is a viable option there for him.
By the way, I’d also have difficulty believing Barisic’s run is continually being used as a decoy.

 

[Jaws II]

After certain posters slagging off Jones of course he would be involved in the goal

 

[dh1963]

I still don't know what our strongest central midfield combination is, but I do know Steven Davis is one of them.

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

Mobray looks to be taking this on the chin

 

[EndOfDays]

Great play by Jones, great header from Defoe.

[Vote For Pedro]

Jones like most wingers play and get better on confidence, as he is now showing.

 

[The Lone Ranger]

Jones!!!! What a cross!!!! Keep that up and you’ll do alright.

He may not end up being a starter but who knows. His ctossing and intent are good. If he ends up just being a sub then he is a good option

 

[WATP_74]

Yet you're saying he's not good enough based on friendlies... You can't have it both ways.

One good cross and he’s the next Davie Cooper. Calm down. My opinion on him is not just based on friendlies, FYI.

 

[andrewmont1]

borna wouldnt be overlapping so much if it was instruction

I was being tongue in cheek mate, sorry. Jones lack of a football brain showing.....and then sets up a goal

 

[Sasa-]

I still don't know what our strongest central midfield combination is, but I do know Steven Davis is one of them.

He's phenomenal. Has so much composure and rarely ever makes a bad decision. The only thing is he probably won't be able to play Thursday-Sunday every week but he'll be crucial this season.

That’s what mines has swapped to lol

 

[Jjbscotty]

Davis is a joy to watch.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Jones is having a superb game.

 

[Bigcol]

Porn fishing

Lol a bit embarrassing when your watching it with your 13 year old daughter.. obviously payback from when we hacked celtic tv

 

[The Lone Ranger]

Defoe will score bags this season

Him and Alfie, what a pair to have

 

[Buccaneers Bear]

That ball in for the cross was a thing of beauty. Ojo is just fantastic.

Teams looking good a bit of sloppy play here and there but it is pre season. A lot of postives so far.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Its fascinating that Ojo is already getting it tight though.

Every single young player we've had on loan is inconsistent. I don't get how people don't grasp that.

And yes, even Ryan Kent was inconsistent. That's our lot in the modern world of football. We're not getting them as world beaters.
