Goldson

[km_2083]

Worrying thing is , goldson has these mistakes in his game , and it’s always games it matters where we have a chance to make life much easier for ourselves. Third season now and he’s still doing it. He got let away with it last year due to edmonson & katic being worse. Another performance like yesterday he should be dropped for belougn as now we can do that

 

[47blue]

The back 4 were all poor yesterday. Little or no protection from the midfield.

 

[Biniaro11]

I felt he had upped his game from last season but still needs to learn about row Z

 

[Forever blue]

My issues with Goldson are similar to the ones I had with Amoruso.

He's had enough errors now (the foul where he had no need to dive in in the 1st OF game last season, gave away a free kick and we conceded from it and then an indentical incident in the LCF are two prime examples) for people to question whether it's just now part of his game and he can't cut it out.

The difference with Amo is he also led the team trophies, played in treble winning teams and scored cup winning goals.

Until Goldson proves everyone otherwise, he's going to get heavy criticism when his mistakes lead to goals.

He wasn't the only one yesterday but he's meant to be the leader in there.

The full backs struggled yesterday too. Goldson having another brain fart sets the whole move in motion for their 2nd though.

I can't see me ever taking to him fully. Only shiny silver things would change my mind. Onus is on him to make that happen as one of Gerrard's leaders.

I wouldn't mention the undropable Goldson in the same breath as big Lorenzo

I wouldn't mention the undropable Goldson in the same breath as big Lorenzo

I only did so as I think Amo's legacy has improved beyond what he was at one point. He was the boo boy of Ibrox for a long spell and while I'm not one for berating players at the games, there was reason it was happening to him after continued %^*& ups.

I still haven't fully forgiven him for Monaco at home despite all the glory since that night!

I only use him as an example of what Goldson could become for us but it all depends on him and the team cutting out the stupid dropped points as a result of errors and actually winning something.

At year three (more with some of them but certainly into the 3rd year of stability) they're getting to the point where unless the prove to us otherwise, they have major problems.

Goldson has major issues in his game. If they don't stop biting us on the arse, the comments will be worse before they're better.

 

[Bruce_Wayne]

He's made one mistake in the 9 games he's played this season and our defence with him in the centre have conceded 2 goals all season. 2!!

Fan Internet culture now though is the same every f*ckin week on here. A player isn't absolutely perfect for 90 minutes then its a total pile on. Goldson has been very good this season and had one bad spell yesterday, it happens.

What a bunch of sad, miserable wee men we see on here after a setback.

 

[Border City Bear]

First real test of the season, and was found wanting, time for a change in there.

Ffs is the first 7 league games and the Europa qualifier not a real test?? Or is it only a real test when we drop points! Have a day off ffs

 

[bornabluenose]

As one who hasn't always been fully convinced by Goldson , I think he has started the season absolutely rock solidly, yesterday aside of course.

 

[dt17]

We have options at centre back now.

Balogun and Helander should get a run of games IMO.

Goldson is solid enough for the most part, but he's also had more high profile brain farts than just about anyone else in the team.

 

[Bikerstevie1690]

First real test of the season, and was found wanting, time for a change in there.

He's our best central defender

 

[jackstar]

Goldson is our best defender

But he's not Beckenbauer and the sooner he just keeps it simple,the better. To be fair,we should've been further ahead. You know within the first 10 minutes if we're up for it or not.

 

[Tailwind]

First real test of the season, and was found wanting, time for a change in there.

Is that everyone been blamed individually now?

 

[WATP3006]

The worrying thing is we are guaranteed that there will be another handful of games where either Tav or Goldson will make a mistake that will cost us points.

 

[Timardim]

Sack the whole fcukin lot of them including the management and the board and the groundstaff ....no excuses we should be top of the league.....

 

[Eddie Doc]

Poor today.

Barisic also shocking at the first goal.

Watching it again it's as if Boyle had a bad touch and the ball was there for Barisic to win and he just stood off and let the cross come in. Both full backs need to put more effort into blocking crosses. I love Borna as a player but he can be a bit casual when it comes to blocking crosses.

 

[ThePieWasNiceAndTender]

We have 4 capable centre halfs. After that performance today someone else should be given a chance. Otherwise it sends a poor message to the squad.

They havent lost a goal for 7 games and now the scatter gun comes out. If Morelos had scored the header or kent scored that chance or arfield or if the off side had been called on their goal then the game would have been won. Both full backs could have stopped the ball coming into the box as well, why Goldson keeps getting it in the neck ill never know!!

 

[westfieldbear235]

I sit in east enclosure and i watched macgregor giving it tight borna on numerous occasion for exactly that not getting tight enough to close down crosses

 

[High Society]

the whole back 4 were found wanting

Nonsense absolute nonsense ,

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Nonsense absolute nonsense ,

He's not wrong Goldson got schooled all day by Nisbet both the crosses could have been stopped by Tav and Barisic and Helander although fouled still let the man out jump him for the goal.

he outjumped him because he gained an unfair advantage by fouling him .I fail to see why you think he let him outjump him when he is being fouled ?
I suppose you think it's the Rangers defences fault the hivs player was offside....

That covers the Helander was fouled bit in post you clearly did not read.
The defence was terrible yesterday as was the team as a whole you could not tell what team had millions spent on them.

 

[Baxter's Boots]

Knew he would revert to his old ways eventually.

Far too casual at their equaliser and looked absolutely rattled for the rest of the game up against a couple of big lumps.

Oh grow up ffs. "Revert to his old ways." He's been behind only Kent for POTY so far and absolutely solid, while playing some phenomenal passes that have driven us forward in crucial attacks. Yes he fucked up yesterday for their equaliser but even at that, Tav could've blocked the cross and Helander could've made even the slightest attempt at winning the header.

 

[RangersLad1983]

First real test of the season, and was found wanting, time for a change in there.

He won't drop him he is another achilles heel.

 

[RangersLad1983]

Away to fûck with absolute shit like this the guy has been top class for ages and is the best CB at the club.

He most certainly is not our best centre half, on the ground he is very weak.

 

[Jjbscotty]

The worrying thing is we are guaranteed that there will be another handful of games where either Tav or Goldson will make a mistake that will cost us points.

This is true unfortunately and yet they are probably the first two names on the team sheet for Gerrard.

 

[Phantom Jack]

Defence as a whole were really poor.

 

[Ponientebear]

Poor from him and Helander tbh.

Helander beaten far too easily for the header

To be fair to Helander it’s pretty difficult to jump when the opposing player has two hands on your back holding you down, Morellos does that and the goals disallowed ala Kilmarnock last season.
As for Goldson, had a nightmare last 20 minutes when he couldn’t really do anything right.
Biggest downer for me is first the offside and then the foul on Helander and not one of our players showed any sign or annoyance at the officials, this for me is something that runs through the whole club and far too many of our fans, accepting wrong decisions without a whimper and is the main reason we won’t win this league anytime soon unless something dramatic changes.

 

[Hurricane Run]

Im one of his biggest critics, I always feel he has a mistake or a misplaced pass in him. Having said that, hes been exceptional this season, and after Kent would have been my first name on the teamsheet.

Every player in the team will have a bad game at somepoint during the season, he was just unfortunate his came during a game we had missed 3 sitters and an awful offside decision away from it being, "just one of those days" for him. Im certain he will bounce back against Motherwell

 

[Ponientebear]

You said, “Helander although fouled still let the man outjump him for the goal”
Hardly covers the fact he couldn’t jump because Doidge was holding him down with two hands on his back.

 

[Donsky]

I think we ask our defenders to do too much too often because of our poor midfield. Maybe not necessarily the case here, but too many times do attackers stroll through our midfield leaving our defence exposed.

 

[ascender]

These things happen. We all know by now that both Goldson and Tav "have a mistake in them". I guess the chances of losing a goal as a result of that mistake are higher due to how we tend to play?

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

That's what happens in football Helander for me was our best defender I said this yesterday, has to be more street smart.
The post earlier was stating the defence were not that bad which I dfisagreed with Goldson was rubbish and made mistake after mistake against Nisbet and both Tav and Barisic were at fault as they did not prevent the crosses.

good luck trying to get through to him mate

 

[Danger Zone]

Is that everyone been blamed individually now?

Considering he was responsible for their second goal he should have been one of the first up on the chopping block. Not as if he hasn’t done it several times before either, though most tend to erase Goldson gaffs from memory.

Totally agree , however it starts from the top and runs down the way .
I am scunnered with the silence from the board and Manager on the horrendous referee decisions on a weekly basis . It actually appears like they don’t give a f&@k.
I hope someone from the club reads this message board, as I’m not the only one who thinks this.
It’s time to start growing a set and fighting back and put pressure on referees

 

[Ianferguson]

Let's not forget McLaughlin saving his arse after being turned by a rookie in the first 15 mins.

Fair enough. But then in another thread Tav was at fault for both. Seems like 1 to 11 getting singled out.

 

[NDC bear forever]

A liability. It's bizarre why he is so highly rated and seemingly undroppable.

Where do you start with this?

 

[Jorg]

i agree he was shite against hibs, i also think he has been excellent up to sundays game

 

[CaptainObjective]

Where do you start with this?

I could say the same for the amount of god awful errors Goldson has made. Did the exact same pass against Leverkusen and McGregor bailed him out with a terrific save. Cost us last season at Ibrox vs the mentally challengeds by passing it straight to them. He is not a good defender.
