MOTM Poll Ross County v Rangers - 15:00 Sunday - RangersTV

[Grouse]

Poor goal to lose.

But delighted to see movement off the ball. That combined with increased energy and we looked like we were flying. Same again at start to second half and blow them away

 

[KPRangers]

Saying people don't like tav because they feel he played a part in the goal is a pathetic argument

When it was absolutely not on him at all then it is very valid.

 

[Bilbotheblue]

The guy Tav is “marking” doesn’t put the cross into the box, he doesn’t have the initial shot and he doesn’t score the goal yet there are people saying Tav is at fault?

Get a grip of yourselves ffs.

Yup, Tav is the first one to get out to try and make up for someone (Aribo?) falling asleep. Watching on iPad so not sure who lost their man.

 

[BODiE]

You don't mark the far side corner flag at a free kick.

The goal came from a cross on the edge of the box.

But you do mark the guy at the far post, who run out and crossed it

 

[Too_The_Moon_Baby]

I just woke up and i see gerrard has fucked with the backline once again, it really is getting annoying now. katic / worral situation all over again.

 

[1BrianLaudrup]

Most of the goals we lost last season were like that one. Defenders going to sleep and leaving a man. It's been happening more frequently this season, needs worked on. But overall, good first half, step up the tempo again and get a couple more. Hoping to see more from Kent and Alfie second half. And let's get subs on if people aren't performing.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

And?

And you should remain yourself to Gobshite Sam

Tims played the same number of games in the league and the same number of clean sheets!

I mean...what is happening?!

 

[wilso10]

Not having a dig at Tav (it happens), but he did let the man go at the back post, and he did jog out to him.

Get out quick and stop the cross that doesn’t happen.

Is there to be no criticism at all when we lose a goal?

Criticism is fine when it's levelled and justified.

Tav was not to blame for the goal FFS - why does it always have to be the fault of one player on here? We love a scapegoat.

The reality is as a team we should have defended it better.

 

[Theresa May]

If you think their goal was Tav’s fault then reflect on the fact you just don’t like Tav and are blaming him for things that aren’t his fault.

I'm picturing you as one of those "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!" type people.

 

[EKblue]

It’s only half time

And already we have lost a goal by not concentrating for the whole of the first 45

 

[Gazrfc]

Right now, I'd prefer Simpson in at LCB instead of Balogun if we are going to rotate.

I'm sure that will rile some people up because they've already decided he's "crap" but if we're going to rotate, Balogun has made too many costly mistakes this season already, I have absolutely no idea where Katic is on his pathway to recovery and Simpson was OK against Real Madrid in the Friendly and against Dunfermline.

Absolutely not, Simpson gives me the fear

 

[SteVM1872]

Play at a tempo, they can't live with us. Soon as we drop it and start giving away stupid fks the problems start.

 

[bilkobear]

Tav jogged out to close down his man. The gaffer wants us running through brick walls. That ethic must be demonstrated by our captain more than anyone else.

Agree.
The entire team started to jog around as if the game was over.
You could see the goal coming.
Tav is the captain and he should be enforcing the urgency.
Sadly we seem to be losing goals from the same area of the pitch and is becoming difficult not to look at Tav and Goldson.

 

[JRM244]

Helander at all fucking times please and thanks .

 

[Speminalium8]

Worried about a second yellow for Aribo after that ‘nothing’ first. Might miss the old firm game ?

 

[Forth Bear]

You're the absolute worst element of our support and the reason our name is mud.

Our name is "mud" where?

Who the fuck cares what anybody thinks of us?

 

[Bilbotheblue]

Incredibly frustrating that this game is now back in the balance.

For 35 minutes we were utterly superb there.

Similar to Malmö at home.

 

[stein and johnston]

Every time we switch off this season we seem to get instantly punished..
It’s a habit we need to get out of, and sharpish.

 

[55 and counting]

Right now, I'd prefer Simpson in at LCB instead of Balogun if we are going to rotate.

I'm sure that will rile some people up because they've already decided he's "crap" but if we're going to rotate, Balogun has made too many costly mistakes this season already, I have absolutely no idea where Katic is on his pathway to recovery and Simpson was OK against Real Madrid in the Friendly and against Dunfermline.

Some of us have been calling out the many deficiencies in Baloguns game since early last season. We were talking crap according to majority. He is poor.

 

[WinkieWATP]

The few minute leading up to their goal were really scrappy, they were winning all the fouls , all the throw-ins etc. Lost control of the game for a spell and got punished

The throw in that lead to the freekick hit the RC player right infront of the linesman.

He gave them the throw. What followed was fairly shambolic on our part but how does the linesman not see it hit the county player right infront of him?

 

[Disco Down]

Bad goal to lose and the nerves are back. Hard to comprehend after completely dominating nearly all the half and playing much better.

 

[Jase]

I wish people would stop making excuses for Tav's defending. He should have been jumping all over their guy at the rebound. He got a free hit.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Playing well, got ourselves into a comfortable 2-0 lead and now allowed the opposition into the game. Let's hope we start the 2nd half in the right manner, otherwise we'll find ourselves in difficulty.

I would replace Kent with Roofe.

 

[Roofe]

What's the story behind this song? Is it recent history or back in early 1900's?

You would have us singing about culloden and bannockburn..

 

[Kowloon72]

Oooft. Bit of a risky joke by McCann there. Wouldn't be saying that on BBC

 

[Potnbear]

This team has regressed so much

Not half as much as those mentally challenged bastards did after 9 games last season

 

[Madjid Moments]

Then your wrong mate

You’re mate not your

 

[Mr Wilton]

A few goals in the 2nd half Rangers and win this comfortably.

 

[yardie]

C’mon Rangers, finish this off.

 

[Carson’s Army]

BB and other songs mentioning 19th Century Terrorists.. drunk morons will never learn.

I haven’t heard BB

are we not allowed to sing about Britain’s enemy’s either now?

 

[Sticky Fingers]

We're developing a very bad habit of conceding stupid goals.

This is it in a nutshell. Really sloppy defending, allowing teams back in and giving them confidence that we can be got at rather than stopping these sides, getting rid of the ball and keeping the ball out of our net.

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

My stream's like watching the match through a submarine window so hard to tell where it went wrong for their goal. What I will say is that the problems we've seen this season have invariably come from our right hand side. Poor goal to concede after an otherwise dominant first half display.

 

[Rab_bear]

You're the absolute worst element of our support and the reason our name is mud.

To be fair he does say “sign”!!

 

[Thommo2006]

TBH it's no surprise that we see folk blaming Tav for the goal.

Their agenda and bitterness towards the guy is equally pitiful as it is tragic.

A goalkeeper could score direct from a kick out and there would be people blaming tav, its bizarre

 

[Jase]

I think you’re just looking for an opportunity to criticise mate.

I know there's a lot of unjustified stick dished out on here but there are times when criticism is deserved

 

[KPRangers]

Was enjoying the match thread for a change, but we have lost a goal and unleashed the carstairs loyal.

The thread was already rammed full of songbook cry babies.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

It’s noticeable that no new signings are in this team. We are playing well in the system that they all know well.

We've certainly been more willing to move the ball around before getting it in the box.

 

[Kowloon72]

We lack any sort of match control and defensively we are poor add to that Kent and Alfie offering nothing I’m not sure what you are watching

Any sort or match control? Wouldn't that suggest it would be 6-0 to county?

Alfie also played in Aribo...

 

[GovanFront4]

Annoying to lose that goal as otherwise we would be saying how well we'd played. If we come out and start the same way we will be ok. But can't let it drop.

 

[Homelander]

You’re mate not your

Absolute weirdo

Gladly blocked

 

[Southsideblueblood]

If we are going to concede at neatly every single chance it's going to be a long season.

 

[MrStruth]

Has a timescale been put on Sakalas injury? I thought it was minor.

Once again you could see the goal coming. We stopped playing.

 

[Blutoe]

For 35 minutes we were back to what we were last season. Lose a goal due to defensive lack of concentration and we are back to sideways passing and poor decision making.
We need to come out for the second half like the first or we are in for a frustrating and nervy 45 minutes

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

My stream's like watching the match through a submarine window so hard to tell where it went wrong for their goal. What I will say is that the problems we've seen this season have invariably come from our right hand side. Poor goal to concede after an otherwise dominant first half display.

the cross came which County got a touch on forcing Shagger to make a great save but the rebound went right to a County player.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Do you know what I find odd, the absolute need to blame someone for a goal tha we concede.

Does it make you feel better that we conceded if you all blame Tav, Goldson or Balogun?

If it's a goal through brilliance of the opposition you accept it, if someone switches off and it could have been avoided off course there should be a level of blame.

Have a watched it again I don't think there's sole blame, Tav should have been more aware to the danger and got out and stopped the cross, along with Aribo and Balogun was poor in the middle too

 

[Crouchy]

Right now, I'd prefer Simpson in at LCB instead of Balogun if we are going to rotate.

I'm sure that will rile some people up because they've already decided he's "crap" but if we're going to rotate, Balogun has made too many costly mistakes this season already, I have absolutely no idea where Katic is on his pathway to recovery and Simpson was OK against Real Madrid in the Friendly and against Dunfermline.

 

[Chester Loyal]

I wish people would stop making excuses for Tav's defending. He should have been jumping all over their guy at the rebound. He got a free hit.

So Tav should’ve been out stopping the cross and then defending the rebound?

 

[Stevie13000]

Right now, I'd prefer Simpson in at LCB instead of Balogun if we are going to rotate.

I'm sure that will rile some people up because they've already decided he's "crap" but if we're going to rotate, Balogun has made too many costly mistakes this season already, I have absolutely no idea where Katic is on his pathway to recovery and Simpson was OK against Real Madrid in the Friendly and against Dunfermline.

I agree with you, I don’t rate balogun at all and how he gets in before helander is beyond me.

 

[TwoBadMice]

Worried about a second yellow for Aribo after that ‘nothing’ first. Might miss the old firm game ?

Very good point that cant afford not to have him on Sunday

 

[GovanFront4]

We lack any sort of match control and defensively we are poor add to that Kent and Alfie offering nothing I’m not sure what you are watching

Wit? We were in complete control until the 40th minute. It's a poor goal to lose but lets not rewrite history here.
