Rangers look like conceding goals every time they they step onto the pitch

[CaliforniaBlue1872]

Second only to Alan McClaren in the 'WTF are they talking about stakes' co-comms role in recent years on RTV

 

[ChorleyCub]

According to Hugh Burns - Jesus wept.

Are people paid for this analysis?

So do Celtic. Or any other team on the planet, bar two or three, for that matter. Who is he anyway?

 

[babaji]

But they didnt score,

The point is that the defence gave up those chances rather easily.

 

[babaji]

Hi Hugh, did you get someone to type that for you?

You should have your own comedy with that witty reply


Goalkeepers are part of the defence by the way.

If you see the post above you'll see that wasn't the point i was making

Personally i prefer my defence not giving up easy chances to miss never mind score from.

If you want to be all happy clappy with that that's up to you, it's not for me

ex player who co commentates on RTV
hes shit at both

 

[The Royal Standard]

I thought Burns had been removed from RTV.

He fuckin ought to be now

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

And so says one of Rangers greatest full backs of all time.

Ok, get what you mean.
Lets hope we dont fall back to last seasons defensive mistakes

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

They did , Now I am as disappointed as anybody regards Sunday but those were the first of the season so to put Burns comments in to context they are pure p**h.

Before my time... never heard of him, sorry.

 

[BIG JAI]

Before my time... never heard of him, sorry.

it was during the souness era, dont worry even then most didnt hear about him

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Got to defend Hugh since we grew up together in a good Rangers village . Always makes me laugh when they say Hugh was a Larkhall man. Proper staunch no McStay's where we grew up.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

double post

 

[Al Needham Loyal]

f*ck me. We break the record for consecutive clean sheets now, after conceding in 1 game, our defence is a shambles. Just when you think the media can't get any worse!!!

This forum isn't much better. The usual suspects were out in force telling us how Goldson and Tav have always been an accident waiting to happen etc.

 

[Tailwind]

Just came across this thread looking back through old posts. brilliant analysis. Ha ha

You just know people are going to comment without looking at the date though!

 

[Monster]

Should be nowhere near any media.

 

[Queens Club]

Nearly caught me out until I saw the 14 played and 2 conceded thread, then I thought wait a minute and went back and checked the date

 

[PunkScott]

We’re doing well but the short goalkicks still give me the fear.

this seasons invincible treble will break all sorts of records though

 

[Tailwind]

Yes, the bad thing about bumpin*bold threads. But couldn’t resist. Aged very badly (for the pundit, not the forum members of course)

You see the routine to get us up the park quickly to relieve pressure and allow Tav some space to run into. Shagger goes right to Goldson, who takes the ball and plays it up the right wing to Alfie who has dropped deep to the halfway line (normally dragging the opposition left back with him, who he’s got the beating of) and then holds up the ball to play either Tav in as he runs up to join, or the central midfielder, who plays it in behind.

better that than launching it up into the middle for a 50:50 and losing possession.

We've tweaked it to Goldson playing it up the line, we used to play it to Tav who would play it up the line. Great to see a progression on it.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Had a wee fall out with Rangers so is quite negative now.

It’s almost Rugby like in the way we move to ensure that our most proficient players are the third or fourth phase of any attack, rather than being stuck in the first tackle or recycling possession.

I wasn’t aware of that.

May explain his utter manure analysis back in September. LOL

I’d say launching it gives less than a 50/50. You may win the first header or tackle but inevitably you are outnumbered and lose the 2nd ball or players can’t get up to support quick enough when played down the sides.

Alfie, Borna, Tav and Kent or Kamara with Jack to lay back to are a massive part of this. Being able to do it on both sides of the pitch gives us great control to move the team up together. Best football since Advocaat and there is no other team in Scotland have been able to do this over the last 20 years at the intensity we do it and with the control. The Tav header v Galatasaray was brilliant example.

Do you mean quadruple.

 

[Tbone68]

Ridiculous statement to make this season.

 

[Recoba]

Deary me

 

[Caldow3]

Burns is still bitter after all these years.

 

[The Golden God]

I guess it's tactical knowledge like that that got him the boot from Rangers TV?

 

[Man on the post]

Surely if your a supporter you have a fallout with the individual not the club.

 

[shotta1974]

oofftt

 

[Angus Og]

I attended a game at Tynecastle with a firm I worked for, and was in their hospitality when he he was voted MOTM (against Rangers).
When he came in to accept the award, I couldn't believe he was wearing a pair of trousers that looked like they'd had 40 boil washes in the machine.

 

[He's Blue He's White]

I have strong evidence this is not true.

 

[Junior Ganymede]

Burns is still bitter after all these years.

Looks like he's been binned by Talking Football, also. Hasn't been on for a few weeks, and his name is never mentioned.

 

[derbybear]

His time with Tom Miller was cringingly terrible. He sounded like he was in the Loudon on his 6th pint!

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

Played for Rangers. Gets my respect for that.
Beyond that? Utter roaster.

 

[SimonLeBon]

Burns is an idiot always has been.

 

[Göteborg-Rangers]

Burns hates Souness because he got rid of him for being shite....

Burns hasn't stopped talking shite about us on the radio since we dumped him from RTV......

Rangers fan? I dunno, but certainly someone who likes to hold a grudge.

 

[Big D]

One reason having no crowds this season is helping us. I'm sure they'd give at least half the crowd the fear. So much easier for the players to play their natural game without 25 - 30k fans screeching at them!

 

[Thewandofpedro]

Did he get punted from rangers tv?

 

[Deleted member 125]

It's true if you add "against Benfica"

 

[tottie beck]

I know Hugh a wee bit and he has personal beef with Rangers and one person in particular so i’d say his views are clouded by that

dont ask who because what he told me was private

He’s always been very bitter towards Souness and I don’t think he tries to hid it either.

 

[fergie1959]

Wank.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Did he get punted from Rangers tv?

Yes, I think that's why he's a bit bitter now anytime we are mentioned.

If we see it, you can be sure other coaches will evolve a plan to combat it.
