Match Thread Rangers 1 (Arfield) Livingston 0 FT

[billybluehat]

Major disruption on the train service this morning.No trains at all between Central and Gourock/Wemyss Bay due to flooding at Langbank and a reduced service on the Ayrshire routes.

 

[Dougie Gray]

And the weather will be worse than tomorrow

Really?

 

[Howlin Wolf]

I’ve just had the dug out for a walk, bit blowy, streets and roads bone dry.

Game on, no doubt.

 

[Buffel87]

Let's hope for loads of power shots at (or roughly in the direction of) goal tomorrow. Can never understand that determination to pass the ball through 10 men in front of goal. Unless your Barcelona statistics will show that the odds of success are extremely low.

Whereas the odds of a deflection into goal or to one of your team mates is far higher. Defoe's last goal, Hearts second goal against us, Celtics' McGregor's recent goals etc... all demonstrate the probability of the game.

Let's also bring Albertz back to teach players how to kick a ball hard and keep it low. Ball flys over bar end of attack. Ball stays low chance of rebound. Arfield might be on to it though.

Do you have any of the statistics that you say back that up?

Albertz might be busy. Can they not figure it out themselves?

 

[Vader]

Albertz might be busy. Can they not figure it out themselves?

If it were that easy, goals would be flying in from 30 yards in every single football match. Albertz was an anomaly. Hard to hit the target when there are 10 players throwing themselves at the ball.

lets ask the university of Jorg Albertz if they have any statistics on this.

[Monty Brewster]

Is there a pitch inspection planned for today?

 

[Beer Bear]

Game on let’s get into these bastards Rangers.

 

[Auld Heid]

When was the last time a club fielded 2 senior teams in competitive matches same time. (Colts in a senior semi)

 

[Fraser]

Is there a pitch inspection planned for today?

I would imagine there would only be a pitch inspection if they had a concern about the pitch

 

[FergieNS]

Hope today's game causes no after effects to the pitch and is ok for Thursday

 

[Monty Brewster]

Considering the pitch was unplayable yesterday and it has rained heavily since, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a concern about the pitch.

Ground staff are confident the match will go ahead.

 

[rangeral]

If there is concerns about the pitch then I am sure arrangements would made by now

 

[HenningBerg]

Correct .

 

[Arkyblue]

After yesterday if there were any doubts an inspection would have been arranged

[Cooper_11]

The weather is bright, dry and breezy in Glasgow right now and has been all morning.
The game is now going ahead and it’s all about getting the 3 points.
Get intae them Rangers !

 

[Main Stand]

3-0 rangers, alfie arfield and jack. Job done early and subs early get alfie rested for thursday.

 

[Oranje]

Treacherous ? Go outside mate . There’s about a 20mph wind , normal for this time of year , and it’s bone dry .

I’ve been outside mate. Lots of flooded roads and surface water still around. Winds to get worse later.

 

[ICA_86]

Probably going to be a really poor 1-0 with us playing the exact same way as usual in all honesty.

Would love to see some bold changes.

 

[HenningBerg]

Now that the pressure is off league wise , I wouldn’t be surprised if we win big today

I’ll say 4/0 , two from Alfie and two from Stewart

 

[dooman42]

Let's do this Rangers 3 points no injuries and March on to Thursday game going for 4.0 to the famous Hagi for the first

 

[Bluebell19]

This is what I said after Wednesday. There was a similar pattern last year too.

And it's this that makes me mad more than anything.

 

[thornhill bear]

I’d like to see a strong performance with a few goals but I we will be in for another frustrating match

 

[Eddie Doc]

Where is this mate?

 

[JayDee]

Probably going to be a really poor 1-0 with us playing the exact same way as usual in all honesty.

Would love to see some bold changes.

I'd take the 1-0 or any other win right now, to be honest.

 

[Macdonsj]

Currently you'll need sunglasses today

Only missing the seal.

 

[Trueblueal]

Got a sneaky feeling this could be a good day.

 

[BillStruthsGreenhouse]

The pitch will has been spiked and drained out, and the wind has helped it. Just need someone to hold the ball when the players are taking corners or free kicks.

 

[academical]

If the wind’s a leveller, this should come down to desire.

I posted this on another thread, but more people will read it here.
Comment from an Accies fan on AcciesWorld (not me), regarding yesterday’s 10-men-for-an-hour+ backs-to-the-wall performance:

Absolutely in awe of Gogic, McMann, Martin, Want and Oggy. They all demonstrated the type of attitude and skill that Gerrard simply can’t buy at the moment.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Another of those must-wins that we don't win.

We'll have prepared for long balls up to Dykes? This won't be a surprise when it happens, right?

what a pile of utter dung.

 

[Howlin Wolf]

Bears have been having wee feelings, sneaky feelings and all other manner of gut instincts for god knows how long now.

Some even had a wee feeling Hearts were going to do something on Wednesday night.

 

[tottie beck]

The score will depend on when the first gol comes. If we get it early I fancy we’ll win by a few. The longer it goes without a goal the more three points is in jeopardy.

Yeah but one day I'll be right and claim the glory

 

[weetam3106]

Is the game just on rtv? Was hoping to catch the second half in the pub. Guess cameras etc and schedules are set weeks in advance.

 

[Tom Forsyth's stud]

and what’s your point ??

Point's pretty clear or can Scotland be called England and vice versa?
Bad enough when your enemies are trying to take away your identity without your own helping them.

 

[Ambiorix]

The sheep will do us a favour today, and we'll win big. Title race back on. You heard it here first.

Hope you're right mate but i'm expecting the sheep to capitulate.

Every game is on RTV other than Europa League.

Nope won’t happen. Love the positivity though

 

[JD1872]

The difference in levels of effort is incredible, mckenna will be delighted

So much for that prediction
