McGregor is not above criticism....

[blueismycolour]

That bloody kick out with 5 mins to go was lazy and totally unacceptable on all fronts. Whatever chance we had, was lost just after it, as a result............


My follow up from page 2.

Frustrated as hell after that tonight, but that kick out done it for me. One goal away from the knockout stages and then we got that from Alan.

Yes Shagger has come back and done a terrific job and yes he has been a standout during our European campaign, but like I said, he is not above criticism, especially when a mistake like the one tonight occurs........

Was it his fault we went out, NO. Was it down to Alan that we were in a position to qualify, before tonights game, YES.

Me just frustrated, that a mistake of such magnitude can undo so much good work......

 

[Chimo]

It was a mistake, he didn't mean to make an arse of it.

 

[Clay Davis]

It’s his fault we didn’t create any chances?

It’s his fault we didn’t defend the attack with plenty of us back?

McGregor is the absolute least of our worries ffs

 

[devilman]

He isn't but it was one mistake - he's been brilliant otherwise.

 

[tarrierssmashwindows]

behave yourself ffs, a game we had to win and never made a clear cut scoring chance in the second half and your blaming a goalie

Shut up fs. We’d of been out long ago if it wasn’t for McGregor

 

[Woodilee Bluenose]

Yes.
But if it wasn’t for shagger and his saves, we wouldn’t have been in the Europa League in the first place so I can cut him some slack!

We are not strong enough in an attacking sense in midfield and that’s ultimately cost us in the group.

 

[Swally Cinnamon]

We wouldn’t be where we are if not for his efforts throughout.

 

[Popbear]

No he is not.
He will hold his hands up to that mistake, I have no doubt.
He has kept us in many a game already since his return though so please keep that in mind before anyone slates him.

 

[Clubdeckg]

He’s not, but he is tonight

 

[Amo6591]

McGregor has been faultless this season.Our best player by a mile! One error and you're jumping all over him, some people just can't wait...

 

[Jjbscotty]

All started from tavernier not swinging the ball into the box at the other end, Never a captain and I hope he is sold as soon as a bid comes in.

 

[kensington blue nose]

Why not concentrate on the whole host of amazing saves he has pulled off in Europe this season and at home and just put that one down to sheer bad luck.
We weren't going through anyway.

 

[RichmondVARFC]

Embarrassing from the OP.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

how was it lazy?

go back and check the video, he was in two minds, there was a stutter in his body movement before he decided to kick it and knew soon as it left his foot that it was no good.

simple facts are we have had plenty of chances to qualify, McGregor has saved us more than he has cost us, in fact he ensured that we still had a chance going into tonight.

 

[Papa Sasac]

Been brilliant.

That was a shocking kick.

Was a good campaign and sadly a chance missed as Rapid and Moscow were poor.

But on we go and hopefully players can pick up the league form.

 

[reyna12]

His distribution is always ropey, but it is such a small sacrifice to pay for all his other world class attributes.

What's not crossing the ball got to do with being captain?

 

[Bknowe]

He is part of the reason we got to the groups.

The bigger worry is the lethargy that has crept into our play in recent weeks

 

[jdm1873]

They still had to run with the ball through our team. McGregor is the least of our worries.

 

[Chester Loyal]

He made a mistake, probably his first of the season. I can forgive him.

 

[trevor_steven]

I've just logged on and this thread is embarrassing. It was a poor kick out but we wouldn't even have qualified if it wasn't for him. To single him out is poor.

 

[sportssocks]

Always one or two players faults. The team isn't performing at the moment, especially up front but aye, McGregors fault.
We would have been beat in a couple of these games if it wasn't for him

 

[Jjbscotty]

You reckon hes a good fit as a rangers captaim?

 

[Damsidebear]

McGregor was not the reason we were defeated tonight..

 

[Rangersnumberfour]

Is that what you said?

Absolute nonsense. We wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are if it wasn’t for him.

Ridiculous thread mate

 

[RaoulDuke11]

There were 4 passes after Rapid collected Greegs (admittedly poor) bye-kick at the half-way line.

Let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill. We were loading attack and got caught.

Players still got a lot to do when he receives it, wasn’t Mcgregor who didn’t track the runner for the goal

Gie yourself peace ffs

 

[RangersIsTheName]

If it wasn't for McGregor's saves we wouldn't have got to the group stages.

Our inability to score killed us.

I don't think I'll be blaming him.

Well I hope you are immediately excluded permanently from ever watching, talking about, commenting on or generally interacting with Rangers in any way, but we don't always get what we want do we?

 

[Bornagain]

You reckon hes a good fit as a rangers captaim?

That's not what you said

 

[imvaison]

No question that he is worth a massive amount to us but that kick out was a killer. Rightly the players had moved up and Rapid capitalised with a very good attack while we were light. Sh1t happens.

 

[Forza_Napoli]

%^*& sakes if it wasn't for McGregor we wouldn't be here have a night off this place is a joke at times with posts like this embarrassing

 

[Laudrup11_Legend]

Jeez! One mistake and he gets a thread of his own for it.
He knows it was an error and will hold his hands up....

 

[Fourladshadadream]

Tav had the ball up there in the corner.
We had 2 shots on goal.
Yes it wasn’t the best kick but it reached close The halfway line.

If it wasn’t for shagger we wouldn’t be in the group stages or having something to play for in the last game

 

[Alan Johnson]

All started from tavernier not swinging the ball into the box at the other end, Never a captain and I hope he is sold as soon as a bid comes in.

Wow blame a guy for failing to swing in a cross,yet our GK has the ball at his feet and plays it directly to their player?

 

[Luthgibear]

Greegs will be the first to hold his hand up for that howler.

Wouldn't have got to this stage if it wasn't for him tho….

 

[BobbyShearer55-65]

A very lazy kick out, but that's not why we're out of Europe tonight.

The whole performance was weak, lacking and simply not good enough. Rapid were there for the taking. A very, very ordinary side with poor ball control and very little flair. Fortune favours the brave - tonight we were anything but football brave.

McGregor kept us in the tournament and yes he made a mistake but your criticism is poor imo.

Pathetic thread

There is a lot more players playing lazy balls than Shagger

Wow.

 

[BackJardine]

If there is one player who can get let off the hook, it's him. He's been exceptional.

You just ignoring all the other times he was trying to get forward and make things happen? In fact 5 min early he's up at the edge of there box having a pop at goal.

Tavernier is the least of our worries

 

[Deek]

Poor kick, worse defending
