Match Thread Hearts v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - RangersTV

[mitre]

There has never been more of a non-brainer of a signing than us signing Shankland this summer.

Player of the year, top scorer in the league, rangers fan, scores against better teams frequently.

I don't even care if Clement says he doesn't want him, the board should just say tough and sign him.

If Clement objects, just sack him as it's clear he is fucking stupid.

 

[skorn]

I've stuck up for the guy time and time again, and like him, but his times up, he's been bloody awful again. Looks like his legs have gone.

It's the most obvius thing on this pitch, that Tav's ;egs have gone.
I wonder if that's why he's been given such a "roving" role --- because he's no longer even trying at RB ?

 

[TheRobotman]

The only excuse I'll make for this performance is that the players are playing like they don't want to get injured for next week.

I think they’re playing like they don’t want picked next week.

 

[bluetonic]

Poor line up considering

 

[Cletus Kasady]

There’s a place in a Scottish Cup Final to play for mate.

Someone should tell the players.

 

[SDF]

That’s got to be tactical

Correct. This isn't players going rogue. We're planning for this and it's ludicrous.

Every time Hearts play down our right they've got about 40 yards of space to run into.

 

[Blue 9]

My biggest concern over the last fews weeks is although it is very obvious that a number of our players are not up to it and need replaced, we are also badly set up under Clement.

Hopefully that changes when he gets his own players but I’m not so sure it will

100%

 

[Buzz07]

We have so m

Is cheating schumbag Robertson aware his side have won the League?
Just as well we were not relying on a win today with Dessers misses and Robertsons blatant cheating.

I'm sure rebel Don will apologise to Clemente for the glaring error.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Mate, we're just trying to get a team on the park at the minute.

It's been square pegs in round holes for weeks now. A style of play is immaterial at that stage.

Not sure I agree. The past few weeks yes. There has been 6 months to get a playing structure in place.

 

[Blair bear]

Tom Miller wondering why the Hearts goal wasn't offside ! Vargas (who never was near the ball) was offside !

I’m not sure how he would be deemed not active, the pass was for him and he tried to get it. He was offside and moved towards the ball.

 

[stein and johnston]

are you joking?

No

 

[The Doctor]

Tom Miller wondering why the Hearts goal wasn't offside ! Vargas (who never was near the ball) was offside !

Tom's right. The ball was played for vargas and it ran right by him because he was caught on his heels. It should have been offside.

 

[blue genes]

Why is our right back, as you say, charging through the middle of the park? As soon as we lose possession he’s miles away and never getting back.

Absolutely ridiculous.

We are absolutely all over the place - I don’t care that it’s a dead rubber, is it too much to expect players to show some pride in the jersey.

Touch & control around their box is dire.

For me, Diomande is failing to convince he’s worth £5m - seriously, when is he going to show it?

Raskin, Wright, Cantwell - ordinary so far.

You do know thats not how football works and I thought your take on the whole gender debate yesterday was a wild take

 

[nelster]

He is a massive problem that needs removed from our club.

With all due respect

James Tavernier has made defensive mistakes with square balls across the face of our goal for years.

The massive problem is deliberately telling our star overlapping fullback that got in UEFAs team of the season for how well he does it, that he’s now to be Ianis Hagi.

It is utterly bizarre behaviour from the manager.

Not quite Michael O’Halloran at sweeper against Motherwell nuts, but its bad.

 

[Mollysblackcoat]

Cantwell holding onto the ball too long and looking for a foul every time he loses it is doing my head in. His slack pass that lead to the goal was total carelessness.

 

[Mosschops]

Watching this lot stumble from one mistake to another for years isn't enjoyable

 

[Eddie Doc]

I take it Sterling is still out injured? That's a blow for next week.

On the bench.

 

[WATP1979]

There’s a place in a Scottish Cup Final to play for mate.

The team next weekend won’t be chosen on a performance in a dead rubber mate

These end of season games are all the same when there’s nothing in the entire top 6 to play for on the final day

 

[valencia05]

Ladies and gentleman, Tav has entered Russell Martin territory.

It’s scary how bad he is on a weekly basis.

He'd even knock as back as a manager these days

 

[Davieblue1977]

Someone should tell the players.

Agreed

 

[Super-Swally]

Can't wait to see the back of these seriel losers and underachievers.

Huge rebuild and summer transfer window coming up for us as a club....how many times have we said that!

 

[ForeverBlue1972]

Tom Miller talks push

 

[Eddie Doc]

My biggest concern over the last fews weeks is although it is very obvious that a number of our players are not up to it and need replaced, we are also badly set up under Clement.

Hopefully that changes when he gets his own players but I’m not so sure it will

He'll need to be more flexible. Either he can't be or won't but I don't see him being here by Christmas.

 

[legalbeagle]

Looking at the half time stats every shot on target in the SPL today has been a goal. The only goalie who has made a save is Clark against us, and he has made 5. Weird little stat.

 

[Pentasa]

Got a feeling this is going to peter out around about the 60min mark and we'll be even slower than our usual walking pace

 

[barrheadbear]

We had no money to spend.

No different to saying we would have won had we signed Haaland or Mbappé.

Would you see Hearts agreeing to loaning us their captain and top scorer when they had a European spot to secure?

No matter how many times it is said that we had no funds in January some within our support refuse to believe it.

 

[1BrianLaudrup]

Not even sure why I'm watching this shit. At least pre-season had the excited anticipation (FFS) of seeing what Dessers, Lammers and Danilo were going to be like.

 

[King Albertz]

First half last week Tav gave the ball away 48% of the time, not sure what the stat was for second half

We can’t do the basics of passing to a team mate, it’s chronic

He's just so of form

 

[BaTmAn]

For corners.....is it just anyone that can be arsed who takes it?

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

Cantwell is a tit.

 

[DazRFC94]

One more punted ball up to McCausland might give me an aneurysm

 

[Stefan Klos]

Such petulence from Cantwell

 

[Gascoigne87]

Cantwell needs moved on I think, doesnt do it enough

 

[MainStandLoyal]

No matter how many times it is said that we had no funds in January some within our support refuse to believe it.

We decided to spend money getting Silva, Diomande and Cortes in.

 

[valencia05]

Tom Miller: "Dessers - he doesn't hide that's for sure"

I want to hide watching this shite!!

Exposure to the sun isn't for everyone

 

[Aribo17]

Simple header from Dessers right back to hearts player

 

[TPP]

Just checked the stats for this game and Hearts have had 1 shot on target and scored and we have had 5 shots on target.

Story of the season, nothing up front. Clement fucked the January window and plays Dessers every week

 

[King Albertz]

You can see the desire of you the players wanting to get into your final team

 

[Mview83]

seven times Scott Wright has given the ball away direct to Hearts

 

[TommyC]

At this point Lammers would massively improve us. That’s how horrible we are.

 

[Stefan Klos]

I take it red cards today count for the cup final?

Cantwell looks increasingly like he might do something daft

 

[DezzaS]

We are absolutely all over the place - I don’t care that it’s a dead rubber, is it too much to expect players to show some pride in the jersey.

Raskin, Wright, Cantwell - ordinary so far.

Er. Wright is ordinary.

 

[si72]

Cantwell is a tube.

 

[TNT]

Two handed shove on a player never getting the ball......free-kick. Yet not a pen the other night?

 

[DJ Blue]

50/50 ball - Free Kick to hearts

 

[nelster]

Todd approaching the second half like a telegraphed Scooby Doo villain where you know whats coming next.

 

[Arab]

Someone should tell the players.

they look like they dont to play in the final and get humped, absolute shitebags

 

[Corrigan]

Exposure to the sun isn't for everyone

Especially Chris Burke, the only man to get sunstroke in Aberdeen.
