Match Thread ** Hamilton v Rangers - 14:15 Sunday 18th - Sky Sports **

[BlueRidgeBear]

I really like Candeias, but he has been very poor today - should have been subbed some time ago.

 

[Jaws II]

Candieas has been woeful today, wouldn’t play him against Hearts.

 

[Enclosure-Loyal]

It’s a good three points but we should have boosted the goal difference by more than 2.

 

[LJ50]

It was the linesman

The linesman reacted to the appeals because the replay showed he was trying to see round a player and made absolutely no movement to flag until the appeal came.

 

[wd1872]

We have lost 3 goals to this lot that is unacceptable Murty will have to get that sorted Bates and Martin have looked junior players today.

We miss Ross McCrorie in front of that back 4 very very much

 

[TrueBlueR2]

i would be claiming it if it was an accies player

 

[skip_1]

Good win on a difficult pitch.

 

[Mabearette]

Sick of these shocking decisions

 

[ShootYouDown]

Back up to 2nd spot

 

[TN8]

2 absolutely ludicrous bookings from Madden, for Martin then Ferguson. What a fud he is.

 

[sw26]

Bobby Madden is a cheat.

Good performance from the team.

 

[The Little General]

What an abysmal surface for top flight football. It just leads to disjointed football that is terrible to watch.

 

[Jayl9319]

Glad we got the 3 points, but a shocking performance.

 

[GBOY]

Will Halliday ever learn when it comes to letting the ball run past him?

No.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

As ugly a win as possible when you score 5 but 3 points is all that matters

 

[Macdonsj]

Murdo Fraser should boot that Ross square in the baws at the next Tory conference

I noticed earlier Tav tried to take a throw and he stood right at him despite being told to Move

 

[Thatcher Loyal]

tory bastard gives dodgy pen against the bears

A good unionist who fought tooth and nail for the Union.

 

[stringer_bell]

Job done but our defence is scary.

Docherty and Candeias both really poor today.

All our forwards immense.

 

[bilkobear]

Nice to get ghe points. But Rangers stunk the place out at times. Too many slack performances for my taste. This creates bad habits.

 

[Cooperfan]

Windass with 3 but Murphy has had a great game.

MOTM by a whisker, Murphy

 

[Butcher6]

Having to score 4 to beat Hamilton is not acceptable and made that a game we were never in control over that needs sorted out.

 

[TeuchterBear]

We should have scored more and conceded less.

Really sloppy today.

Defence were shambolic, Even on the embarrassingly poor pitch.

 

[The Little General]

2 absolutely ludicrous booking from Madden, for Martin then Ferguson. What a fud he is.

He’s terrible. Neither were anything like a yellow.

 

[davieb1973]

Well done rangers,into second place in the league. crap third goal to concede wasn't a pen to me , but onwards and upwards. Well done.

 

[Calico Jack]

I really like Candeias, but he has been very poor today - should have been subbed some time ago.

I think this surface takes something away from his play.

It's horrible to play on.

 

[Damsidebear]

3 points in the bag,worrying we let 3 goals in against a piss poor side albeit 1 being a penalty,not the best defensive performance but very happy for Josh with his hat trick, MOTM for me.

 

[si72]

Will Halliday ever learn when it comes to letting the ball run past him?

No and no.

 

[bluenosebazza]

3 points was the most important thing today so I'll take that.

 

[standardbarger]

Martin is a dumplin. I've seen enough already.

I agree not good enough in the air either.

 

[Prestwick Bear]

Madden is a complete prick. Imagine a yellow for that. And as for Andy Walker - even when we get given a dodgy penalty against us it is not enough - "aye but he wouldn't have given it if it was closer". What a massive mentally challenged dick.

Andy Walker is a grade A tadger, he doesn't deserve the smell of my farts. Utter prick of a pundit.

 

[Renoranger]

Glad we got the 3 points, but a shocking performance.

Oh FFS, explain shocking.

 

[The banter years]

Good result. That pitch is woeful.

 

[madridista]

Doesn’t save enough for me like the first goal and his kicking isn’t all it’s made out to be either imo.

Completely agree. He should have saved the first, and arguably the second.

Added to his mistake last week and erratic kicking, I feel Kelly should be given a shot.

 

[1690]

Next weekend is massive now. Us against Hearts, Killie against hiv and the sheep against the scum, all the top six playing each other. Could be a defining point in the season.

 

[Ponientebear]

5 goals and I can’t for the life of me say we were good, we really have a piss poor attitude against bad opposition.

 

[Duranman]

Martin and Bates cannot be the two going forward. Alves and McCrorie when fit.

 

[Topps]

With regard as to the penalty. We would be claiming for it but it was clear as day madden didn’t have a clue and gave in on the basis of the Hamilton player making by big claims for it.

 

[Oduwa]

No he dives in when he can stay on his feet and close the shot down imo.

Fair enough.

 

[Loyaljock]

Bobby Madden is a cheat.

Good performance from the team.

He’s not a cheat, he’s incompetent.....as are most referees in our league.

Coming away with the “always cheated” patter makes us sound like them

 

[Calico Jack]

2 absolutely ludicrous bookings from Madden, for Martin then Ferguson. What a fud he is.

Ferguson was a yellow, he raked Bates calf after the ball. Dirty little dig.

 

[Business_Bear]

Poor decision there bit Martin and Bates have been piss poor all day. If we can sort the defence out and not give teams a goal head start we'll be ok.

 

[JimmyBuffetloyal]

It's now open season on Rangers ,the precedent set is blast the ball at any player in the box and you'll get a pen

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Well done, Rangers.

That defence needs McCrorie and Alves ASAP, though.

 

[Jaws II]

Martin and Bates needs changed. I would bring Alves in for Bates now.

 

[si72]

That defence needs sorted asap before we play jambo scum.

 

[Fitba Juice]

Game sums up our season.
Sitting 2nd now and have scored 1 less goal than timmy as it stands, but the cheap goals we're conceding are killing us.

Another stat, we are top of the "away league", yet 6th... yup, 6th in the home league

 

[Butcher6]

Completely agree. He should have saved the first, and arguably the second.

Added to his mistake last week and erratic kicking, I feel Kelly should be given a shot.

I wouldn’t go that far but I’d be cashing in and looking for a new keeper next season.

 

[Graemelins]

Good score line, but we are poor at the back and that shouldn’t be ignored.
Declan John I think is hopeless on positioning.
Russell Martin very weak.
Neither of the two of them will do.
Alves and Wallace cannot come back quick enough.
Big Bates is what he is. Would maybe be OK alongside a better partner than Martin.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Ferguson raked Bates up the back of his calf, dirty.

He's got to be one of them. Looked like he was Sevcoing all the way through the match. The hate was ripping out of him.

 

[Eckhailitchenko]

Sloppy performance all around the park.

 

[bloodandfire]

An eight goal thriller . . . what's not to like?
