And that’s really no use to our ambitionsVery reminiscent of the Liverpool team Gerrard played in. They could do some amazing things in Europe, only to fall flat domestically.

The spl dross? 3rd best team in this league. I'll ask the question again, how many times have the best Rangers teams in your lifetime won every game In a season?
If that's what he thinks of the fans reaction he shouldn't be in the job because that was a poor result today.Don't deny any of that.
But you want Gerrard to be doing more than sitting there passively. I'm saying, in his mind, it's not a bad result. He will consider the reaction of fans to be hysterical.
Good post. This place is vile after the team drop points.If we had the average points return we have had for the first 8 games for the rest of the season we would finish the season on 95 points. Somebody could maybe correct me but I think that would be the best total we've had since moving to the 3 points for a win rule?
We've conceded in 1 domestic game out of 8.
Will we finish on 95 points? Almost certainly not but it shows you how incredibly unrealistic our fans expectations are when they are going crazy at our start to the league campaign.

That's it for me. Time and again we've shown that we can't handle the pressure when the chips are down.What a boost for the mentally challengeds knowing they can afford to slip up because we never capitalise.
No pressure on them at all from us and they know it.
Well, the last season we won the title, we won something like the first 10 games and didn’t drop points till the end of October.
Last season did we not have 7 wins and 1 loss from the first 8? So one point better off.
Realistically, you can’t analyse everything Rangers do in isolation. 6 wins and 2 draws when Celtic, defacto, have 7 wins and 1 draw...its not enough.
And that trend will be repeated in the next quarter of the season. We will do okay but will always draw one or two more games than Celtic do, usually by surrendering a winning position.
Celtic are massive favourites for the league. Doesn't mean we can't win it but they are certainly the favourites.
It's likely we will finish miles ahead of whoever finishes in 3rd place.
Basically what should happen when you look at the budgets in place at both clubs v the rest. It's a trend you will see in every league in world football bar the odd anomaly.
Almost entirely irrelevantDid our 9 in a row team win every single game every season? simple question

So basically we need them to fail to qualify for the CL another 5 years in a row then we might just stand a chance.
Been reading for about 4 consecutive seasons on here how disasterous failing to qualify for the CL is for them, “pack of cards” etc and yet I still don’t see any time on the horizon when they won’t be strong favourites.
Realistically with Lennon in charge, they downsized massively there, and if we can’t apply a bit of pressure and topple them with him in charge...well, if they win their fabled “10” they’ll probably look to get in a more balanced, serious manager.
It's because Celtic are flat track bullies which isn't necessarily an insult btw.So basically we need them to fail to qualify for the CL another 5 years in a row then we might just stand a chance.

Not at all. We win the league or he is sacked.It's going to be a long hard season with relentless pressure.
Plenty of ups and downs time will tell if we are good enough.
The Question is do we have the mentality we will find out in May
If we don't then I think the board will have a massive decision on Gerrard going forward
Thats a point I've never really considered but you are right.. Keeping the pressure on eh... if onlyWhat a boost for the mentally challengeds knowing they can afford to slip up because we never capitalise.

Not having that complete as argument for failure.We were robbed by cheating bastard officials.
Midfield is slow!We played very poorly - midfield offered very little .
That said - Arifled should of scored to kill the game and was denied by a quality double save - kent should of finished to make it 3-1 and again kill the game .
On another day that could of been 4-1 .
We will beat them at the Piggery and go from there .
Next week we will need to be on our A game .
If it was a one off result and performance then the reactions could be classed as hysterical. But how many times have we seen this type of result and performance the last 3 seasons. There is virtually no margin of error in this league and after 4 away games we’ve already witnessed 2 games that the performances and the result were not acceptable. It’s already looking too familiar from what’s happened the last 2 seasons.Don't deny any of that.

We allowed them in today with an off side goal.but the rest of your post is hard to disagree with.We don't take our chances and kill teams off. When we went two up we should have had a third and fourth.
I thought Hibs were ordinary, how we allowed them back into the game is beyond me.
It's been the same all season. Aberdeen could've been the same but we managed to hold on, we should be putting teams out of sight.
Your correct mate.but it is early in the season .that is the only saving grace.we have seen the total collapse of the team after the winter break in the last two seasons . This can,t be allowed to happen for a third season in a row.i,m not getting over excited about today.If it was a one off result and performance then the reactions could be classed as hysterical.

The dark cloud loyal. Hover about match threads, quiten down a bit when we win, but not always. There was plenty moaning after winning at hamilton and aberdeen.Phuckin agree Tags
We are not ruthless enough at times, we need to be to win trophiesWe don't take our chances and kill teams off. When we went two up we should have had a third and fourth.

Good post mate.It's difficult to put a timescale on when we will win the league. All we can do is keep improving every season (which we are doing) and wait for Celtic to slip.
I wasn't confident we would win today after seeing the teams. We were without 3 players who would likely be in our strongest 11 in Roofe, Aribo and Jack and Hibs have been flying. Look at some of the options on our bench today when we have a few injuries, our squad depth is a problem.
There was a thread on here during the international break about our next block of 6 games and it was a thread were most posters were in agreement that we would be doing extremely well to take anything more than 15 points out of it. Now the usual suspects are going mental because it has happened, when we all agreed previously that we had a really tough run of games coming up.
We also got done again today by shocking game changing refereeing decisions. Something that happens on a regular basis now when I can't even remember the last time the Tim's had 1 go against them that cost them points.
How did we "technically" go top of the league ? We are top of the league on point's.Yes we technically went top of the league today
No, but Walter's team could win when it mattered.If that’s all you’ve got. Did Walter smiths teams win every single league game?
We didn’t let them back in the game, the lino did.We don't take our chances and kill teams off. When we went two up we should have had a third and fourth.

We were piss poor in defense yesterday. Almost seemed like we were in pedestrian mode when we were 2 1 ahead.Ref spots the offside in the build up or the two hands on the back of Helander and it’s 2-1. 3 points.
That's a controversial opinion on here with many. Right opinion in the real world.Not at all. We win the league or he is sacked.
Better placed if the team took that to heart.Aww %^*& me man. I’m off of here before one of these threads gets me banned.
The cry was no surrender apparently. Maybe some of you need to fucking remember that
The past is the past, we have to put pressure on them.Smith’s last season was the only season he earned more points after 8 games than we have this season (in his 2nd spell). We aren’t throwing anything right now, our issues have always been how we perform after Christmas.
It's the same every time. They know they're angry, they're not sure what about.. so they throw all the usual cliche's out there that you've just mentioned. We WILL drop more points this year. That's a fact. People need to (for their own health more than anything) get that into their heads and just take it in their strideCan someone explain what would be an acceptable way of dropping points that wouldnt be the team bottling it or "watching the same movie again" etc?
Yesterday actually wasn't anything like the Livi game for instance were we couldn't break down a low block for 90 mins.
Yesterday we went to Easter Road, fell behind and then actually showed good character to get back into the game and then ahead. If bottle was the issue then surely the players would have crumbled as soon as we lost the first goal?
We then had the combination of a missed sitter and an equalizing goal from them that shouldn't have stood.
Our fans don't know what they're angry about. They just throw the toys out the pram every time we drop points these days.
I thought we were quite poor and laboured yesterday. It shows how much we miss Roofe's work rate and movement. We are far more dynamic in attack with him in the team.
I honestly dont see how its controversial at all. End of this campaign, that will be 3 seasons, and possibly no title with full financial backing. if we are brutally honest, the shitshow that was the calling of the the last campaign possibly kept him in a job. To go this full season again and not win the league- thanks for your time and effort Stevie.That's a controversial opinion on here with many. Right opinion in the real world.
I don't think it's controversial. But some on here think we stick with him no matter how many times he doesn't deliver. Been argued plenty of times and plenty saying he shouldn't be sacked even if he fails 3 years in a row. I don't understand it myself.I honestly dont see how its controversial at all.

This is exactly what I was thinking this morning. Someone moaning that we've 'shat it in a quarter of our games so far'.If we had the average points return we have had for the first 8 games for the rest of the season we would finish the season on 95 points. Somebody could maybe correct me but I think that would be the best total we've had since moving to the 3 points for a win rule?

Wouldn’t say he’s done but he should be kept for games at Ibrox or smaller away games when teams sit inMidfield is slow!
Davis is done and we ALL see this
that then brings the rest of the midfield down to his pace and that’s the issue, to be fair they have the same issue with the Lego eater

It’s as simple as that but I think he will walk.Not at all. We win the league or he is sacked.

I'm still waiting for the definitive list of who we are allowed to drop points to. We can't drop points to celtic, because it's them, and everyone else is 'dross' who we should routinely be humping 5-0 or more.
With this in mind, it's easy to understand how some folk lock themselves into that cycle of thought, and any setback is seen as reinforcing their own negativity. This is usually justified by 'we've seen this before', and they look for anything to validate that position and belief (Goldson is a bombscare, Tav is never a captain, Alfie has downed tools, Gerrard is not a winner [no, really], Gerrard needs to be jumping about like Wibble or TLB to motivate them etc). Any evidence against that position is happy clapping, or lowering of standards, and quite frankly it is all just tedious now.
It used to be that if we went on an undefeated run, it was a good thing. Now it has to be a win streak Goldberg would be proud of, otherwise the knives are out.
