Nobody notices when he wins a header, wins a tackle or puts in a good cross but my god are folk ready when he makes a mistake, he wasn't great last night but he certainly was the least of our problems, complete scapegoat
Wouldn't want to be in the trenches with him that's for sure.
Was he at fault for the 2nd goal? There seemed to a lot of space down the left side.
He hasn't actually done that bad defensively, I can't really remember him having a horrid team or thinking he's getting rinsed everytime a winger got near him. I just expected a hard hitting no nonsense Croatian.
When you have a player who was in such good form as Halliday you dont drop him unless he deserves to be dropped. Barisic hasnt merited his place in the team ahead of Halliday. But it seems certain players are allowed bad games while others are dropped after 1 bad performance.
This is very noticeable.None of the players ever pass the ball to him when he is in loads of space. Major trust issues here which suggests he must be absolutely woeful altogether. This needs to be the end of this mental policy of signing players who had a couple of ‘decent’ games against us. Two games doesn’t mean he is good overall. A scout looking at a player over a season sees a player, not a rookie manager who sees two games ffs. An absolute shitebag of a player!
Where was Halliday's good form against Hibs? He was just as bad as Barisic.
His crossing was woeful and offered nothing in an attacking sense, but it's Halliday so he gets a bye.
One bad game. Over the course of the season halliday has produced better performances than barisic and has been one of our most consistent performers.Where was Halliday's good form against Hibs? He was just as bad as Barisic.

I don't know what happened at the 2nd goal would need to see it back, but worral was absolutely screaming at him after it. Goldson as well to an extent.
McGregor and Jack had a go at him too mate.
He let Mclennan run right off him.
The panty wetters back out in force after a bad result. Kamara and Jack were the main reason why we lost the game last night but not 1 single player in our 11 got pass marks.
Barisic is miles better than Halliday. 2nd goal was all down to Kamara getting pushed aside by Ferguson. He is solid in that challenge and Barisic and Goldson don't get exposed when they were slightly out of position. Agree with someone else in the thread who mentioned he was the only player to put a decent ball into the box for us all night
Your right, Halliday was indeed poor v Hibs.
Ill tell you what Halliday is not though....an absolute shitebag of the highest order scared to make a challenge or take responsibility for the ball.
For %^*& sake open your eyes man even his own team mates don't give him the ball because he can't be trusted.

Katic, barisic and grezda have been one total waste of money so far.
They will not last.
For whatever reason he doesnt fancy Katic, we are playing a centre half who will shortly be leaving us.Once again we'll needt to cut or losses, and offload the 2 Croats and Grezda, as it appears there not up to the rough and tumble of the Scottish game.
In saying that, i don't think Katic has had a fair crack of the whip under Stevie G.?
With Halliday all his negatives are ignored because it's Andy Halliday and he's one of us, while Barisic gets his negatives pointed out. Where is the fairness there? Halliday offers nothing at left back, one good game against the tims and all his other bombscare left back performances are forgiven apparently.
Halliday and Barisic have just been as bad as each other this season, neither of them have been any better than the other.
Regarding not giving him the ball, I don't trust the players continuing to give Candeais the ball so he can blooter the ball into the stands while another option has made the run and is in space.
Sorry Barisic is absolutely phoning it in as a Rangers player, that’s why he’s being criticised.
I can take players not having ability, but when they’re jogging back, refusing to make angles when attacking and shirking challenges I can’t go it. His own players were openly exasperated with him last night.
Compare this with the treatment Tav , who never hides even if playing poorly, gets from a lot of our fans and it shows there’s something not right with peoples opinions of players.
Halliday isn’t the answer at left back either btw but that doesn’t excuse Barasic’s antics. Mentally weak.
Has he? One game against the tims. That's it. Barisic has been consistent defensively, people have said he had a bad game against Greg Stewart, but other than that, how many games can you point out he had stinkers and the wingers got the better of him?
Tin hat n that
I'm wondering if there are man management problems here. Ejaria chucking it, Coolbilly and now Barisic looking poor after strong starts.
Halliday has had far more than one good game this season. Hes been very decent in most of the games hes played. Not saying hes a world beater or anything. But at the moment he is a more reliable option than Barisic.Has he? One game against the tims. That's it.

What part of Halliday is not a left back is it people struggle to get? Halliday at least gives 100% and doesn't shirk any responsibility, the rest I can forgive as I and the rest of us know he is limited.
Barasic is a left back to trade and is being picked to represent a country who reached a World Cup final.
Barasic has the heart of a mouse, doesn't want the ball, shanks about every shy he takes to an opposition player and now were told is refusing to play on plastic pitches.
They had about 3 players over for that 2nd goalWouldn't want to be in the trenches with him that's for sure.

These guys are totally clueless and have never played a game of football in their puff.I do think that's fair, he's a bit of a whipping boy now.
There was one incident last night where there was a massive punt, the ball is swirling in the air and he gets under it, heads it away and it goes out for a throw. He did nothing wrong, and certainly the right thing for the conditions, and still people went tonto.
Folk literally sitting in the stands waiting for the guy to make his next mistake. He'll need to be of strong mind to overcome it, and i'm not sure if he is.
They do ignore him....
Because he's no very good. He has nothing in him apart from a decent cross.
3 out of 4, Jack is a total exception and anyone who knows football would see why. Crazy comment to say about punting him. I’m assuming the OP has never played football at a decent level and can’t see what Jack brings to a team. Probably one of these punters constantly screaming “get it up the park”.
