MOTM Poll Rangers v Royal Antwerp - 17:55 Thursday - BT Sport ONLY

[Resident_hammy_bear]

I'd be tempted to put Patterson on, can't do much worse than Balogan has against Lukaku

 

[thornhill bear]

Need to our shit back together losing possession too easy and they are capable of scoring again

 

[LiviLoyal]

I reckon Ross Wilson will be in their dressing room at half time asking for Lukakus autograph for his wee lassie, but it's really a 4yr deal.

I seriously hope not. Guy isn’t anywhere near the level we require.

 

[Topps]

How shit is VAR the guys a yard off!

Was the ball played forward though?

 

[Diego Maradona]

Gotta love Alfredo

 

[Coza]

‘Worlds most disgusting footballer in show of concern for fellow professional and showing genuine sportsmanship’

SFA 3 match ban coming for not playing to the whistle.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

No doubt the newspapers and phone ins will be full of praise for Morelos sportsmanship tomorrow!
Aye...and pigs might fly!

 

[bornabluenose]

A half of two halves, we really need to put teams away when we are on top .

 

[Chester Loyal]

I’m feeling very frustrated at that half tbh. First 10/15 were good but since then we’ve taken the foot off the gas and we’re playing without any intensity.

They are so vulnerable to balls in behind yet we’re rarely trying it. I’m also getting a bit annoyed at our forward players spinning a defender, having the opportunity to run at the defence but instead firing the ball 50 yards out wide to the full back.

We’re the better team here but we aren’t showing it. We aren’t winning enough second balls in the midfield and can’t get control of the match.

A bit of a rocket up the arses needed at half time.

 

[Davie Weir]

How shit is VAR the guys a yard off!

He was behind the man who played the pass was he not?

 

[Main Stand]

Calling one of our best players a fucking twat for a show of sportsmanship.

I don't think he's the twat in that scenario.

I was just going to comment mate, what a tosser

 

[be11y]

That would've been alright at 1-0, but not when we're pushing to reinforce our advantage

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

How shit is VAR the guys a yard off!

Are they checking every goal or is it only 'clear and obvious' errors?

I think that's what annoys people in the Premier League, when they're measuring by centimeters or parts of the arm rather than what looks obviously wrong. Albeit that did look obviously wrong.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Would consider bringing Patterson on for Balogun.

Thought we played well up and until they scored, then it's been a bit nervy.

Would like a early 2nd in the 2nd half.

 

[club175]

now set up for a nervy second half if we don't up the tempo again and get to grips with their wingers

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

Time to give Patterson his shot, Balogun will lose this for us.

BS!

 

[blue diesel]

SFA would have him red carded fro that

 

[yosemite sam]

They game should have been over b4 they scored,we don't get the 2nd,they get a goal out of nothing and we looked stunned

 

[Erik Bo Selecta Anderson]

Started well then drifted towards the end. I like Balogan but having a tough time of it tonight. Kent, Morelos and Kamara on another level.

 

[Main Stand]

How shit is VAR the guys a yard off!

Take it you’ve never played football

 

[cullybear]

As much as Balogun is struggling, where is the cover? He seems to have two men out there and Kamara is miles away. Surely as that's their strongest area Kamara should be staying at home. I think after scoring our goal we should not be as open, maybe limit the number of players commited to attack.

 

[HandsomeHead]

Should have been further ahead in that first twenty minute spell when we looked like we might score with every attack.

Hopefully Gerrard sorts it out at half time because we’ve let them back into this.

 

[Allysgoldenboot]

First 25 mins we were absolutely fantastic but to be fair Antwerp had to start pushing on a bit and putting us under some pressure and they have done. Half time comes at the right time.

 

[GOLEADOR]

How shit is VAR the guys a yard off!

The winger is ahead of play and playing the ball backwards, can't be offside.

 

[Sherbet Dab]

Calling one of our best players a fucking twat for a show of sportsmanship.

I don't think he's the twat in that scenario.

I meant the ref, didnt realise Morelos had had pulled it up, get yer fkn facts right

 

[scoobytwo]

Alfie cannae win, too nasty, too nice.......

 

[Del]

Referee stopped that not Alfredo.

No he didnt. Fredo stopped first and the ref blew the whistle.

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

I probably wouldn't have held the ball up at that point but with about 30 seconds of time left and our players with 20 yards to make up I can see why Alfie has.

 

[BobbyShearer]

“What you saying now Keevins ya auld dick ye”

 

[Laudrup is God]

Balogun is getting targeted here and they are overloading him but Davis and Kamara need to help him more but no excusing his defending on the goal it was school boy stuff also allowing a player acres of space on the front post is mind boggling.

 

[AberdeenGer]

One more goal kills this tie, get right into them second half and then we can relax...

 

[No Hiding Place]

We played some good stuff in that first half and then I think Antwerp proved they're a decent side,get the next one and we're comfortable.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

I'd be tempted to put Patterson on, can't do much worse than Balogan has against Lukaku

Yeah he could. He is a boy.

 

[Coisty87]

Wait a minute Alfie, that doesn't suit the narrative! Scots press will be raging

Since we have a cushion fair play, don't do it again lol

 

[SouthCoastLoyal]

Bizarre from Morelos to stop playing there.

The Antwerp player was running off the pitch, not like he was crumpled on the ground with a head injury.

 

[1914-18]

Annoyed at that scoreline, pure cruise control for 25 mins and our poor decision making in the final 3rd has allowed them back into the game, could easily have been out of sight

 

[New York Bear]

Referee stopped that not Alfredo.

The ref applauded Alfie. And other Antwerp players thanked him.

 

[Brant Hurley]

Sportsmanship doesn’t get you into the next round of Europe.

Spot-on, Coda. His goals and assists will do that. Deadly & classy.

 

[Bluetyler]

Don't worry folks,Alfie done a great deed so will be rewarded 2nd half,in fact,I will even repost this message when he does !

So mote it be

 

[DelPiero]

What the fk is he stopping that for? %^*& sake.

You’re an idiot.

 

[Ubik]

Would consider bringing Patterson on for Balogun.

Thought we played well up and until they scored, then it's been a bit nervy.

Would like a early 2nd in the 2nd half.

even if we do id play kent on the right to support whoever is at fullback.

 

[Chester Loyal]

The Antwerp goal was NOT offside.

Learn the rules of the game ffs.

 

[dh1963]

A half of two halves.

For 25 minutes we were utterly dominant and very dangerous going forward. Morelis and Kent looked razor sharp. Not sure if we started thinking it too easy, but we seemed to ease up and since Antwerp got a foothold in the game they have looked very threatening. Especially down our right side.

You feel the next goal will decide the outcome. We get it and they are too far behind. They get it and it will be panic stations.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Would consider bringing Patterson on for Balogun.

Thought we played well up and until they scored, then it's been a bit nervy.

Would like a early 2nd in the 2nd half.

He's on a yellow and still lunging in, which leaves him liable to get beat or get a second yellow. Unfortunately I doubt Patterson is anywhere near match fit.

 

[Partickger]

Great start but when the ball stopped sticking up front we regressed badly. No idea what Morelos was thinking about there, deserves a bollocking for that.

 

[JD1872]

At times we don’t know whether to attack or be cautious.

Thought we were very good until the equaliser.

 

[si72]

Raging with Morelos, he should have set up a chance, no way they do that at the other end. It wasn't a head injury or bad injury.

Away throw shite at the moon ya rocket.

 

[Delboy Trotter]

Balogun has to be replaced before he costs us or gets sent off

 

[Madjid Moments]

The match is very much in our hands. Nothing stupid and we are in the next round.

 

[Mustang mad]

I can see Balogan getting hooked at half time for Patterson

Thought we had done well to keep lukaku pinned back for 25 mins.
Then, he starts getting forward. Within 5 mins he has made the goal.
Goldson now getting dragged out to help balogun. We are leaving spaces.
