Match Thread Rangers v Stranraer - 19:45 Friday - Premier 1

[Deleted member 125]

My only word of caution re Nathan.

i was in Paris v PSG in late 2001.

A young Maurice Ross was one of the best, if not the best players on the park that night.

 

[kensington blue nose]

Did you care in 2008 against Fiorentina?

We weren’t as negative as teams that come to us.

 

[Yer da]

Jones not switched on there to Aribo's pass.

 

[ecossebear]

Spoke to soon and jinxed it

Defoe, for someone with little game time, has the most phenomenal first touch I’ve seen! I really would love to have seen us have someone up front with him this game.

 

[rfc4ever]

Minimum yellow card all day long that piglitello or whatever he is called cleaned out Aribo there

 

[AnglianBear]

Couple of points so far:

- Should be 15 minutes time added on if we are using "Celtic time" given how much time the goalie is wasting

- Beaton is giving us nothing. Aribos shot went out for a corner and he gave a goal kick.

 

[Scarface]

Big Niko wants a goal!

We all want a f.ucking goal.

 

[Jaws II]

Jones not switched on there to Aribo's pass.

he has been pretty poor so far.

 

[Kenny1b]

So far it’s working for them and if they manage to get a free kick in our half they’ve got a chance to score.

I’d say the Stranraer XI are enjoying this and dreaming now of producing a result.

We need to score here because with every minute they’ll be getting more confident.

They’ve been absolutely no threat whatsoever. Be dreaming alright... dreaming if they think they have any chance of scoring here.

 

[usbear]

Jones has been quiet

Expect much more from him against opposition like this

 

[Stevie13000]

We play several games in a couple of weeks.

No we don’t

 

[Bordersbear]

This reeks of Hamilton but 5 goals in the second half.

 

[Deleted member 125]

Fukk off ya part time no-Mark numpties!

 

[mad4rfcme]

Need to be much sharper Rangers. 4 - 0.

 

[Danger Zone]

Unlucky Defoe, quality control, just couldn’t get it on target

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

What happened to the defender?

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Absolutely nobody that’s not a regular apart from Paterson making a case for themselves here. Jones having a mare.

My only word of caution re Nathan.

i was in Paris v PSG in late 2001.

A young Maurice Ross was one of the best, if not the best players on the park that night.

He’s not even playing that well. Three times he’s had a lot of time to cross the ball in and they’ve been sent in aimlessly with no whip.

He needs to spend a good month training with Borna to learn how to put them in with whip and power.

 

[HenningBerg]

Zero protection of our players in this hatchet country . Fckin scandalous

 

[Vote For Pedro]

Brilliant from Defoe!

 

[Super Ally Does It Again]

Sloppy final ball didn’t like the way we started the game standing off them and we’ve allowed them settle very poor beginning to the game young Patterson apart

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Jones not switched on there to Aribo's pass.

Jones is really frustrating me. Offering very little. Failing to get wide and take responsibility.

 

[usbear]

Looks like his pluke popped

 

[devilman]

Unlucky Defoe - nice footwork to work in the shot but just wide.

 

[applebear1976]

some odd stats so far tonight

[LiborSionko14]

Jones would be aswell sitting on the couch beside me, hes no kicked his arse tonight.

 

[standardbarger]

Jones needs to take that down the wing. Yet again, though, he comes inside to a crowded area.

Nothing coming down the left.

He is doing what he has been told to do.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Beaton should be forced to referee with a potted plant in his hand, to replace all the oxygen he wastes.

 

[MacBear]

Why no booking ?

Because Beaton.

They make it up.

Almost all of our matches have messed up stats now on BBC – whoever is providing them to them has made an arse of it a while ago and hasn't fixed it.

 

[sifter]

That looked a great tackle from Patterson

 

[devilman]

Looked a good tackle from Patterson. Officials just helping the wee team out again.

 

[IHeardTheMightyRoar]

Jones has been quiet

It’s a hard game for Jones because they are just sitting back and there’s no space for him to run at pace.

 

[davstr]

Beaton really is one cheating cûnt

 

[GF7]

Benefit of the doubt with them having had very limited game time but Jones and Halliday offering zilch so far.

Aribo and Patterson on the other hand are looking very good.

 

[JD1872]

Jones has the touch of an elephant tonight, watch him score now

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

how is that foul against Patterson, he won the ball clearly and cleanly

 

[GovanDerry]

He’s playing well but remember he has virtually no defensive responsibilities here with the way the game is playing and his final ball has not been there yet.

Looks promising for sure.

He’s played about 4 cracking balls in to the box mate

 

[fmp]

The one time that Stranraer have players up the park and we take an age to get forward

 

[ecossebear]

Similar to Maurice Ross, remember Bob Malcolm and Darren Cole’s first games where we thought they would be world beaters? Or Kyle Hutton? Let’s not put any pressure on the lad yet! No bloody wonder our youths never really make it with us when we have such high expectations after 20 minutes!

 

[TheEgg]

Rtv in off again ffs

 

[Danger Zone]

Must have killed that cùnt Beaton to go for a card there.

 

[Coda]

Beaton allowed that by not booking the previous one.

That’s a red. Tried to do Halliday, and succeeded.

 

[IHeardTheMightyRoar]

Honestly think Gerrard should have registered himself to play in this match. We need someone to shoot from range.

 

[JayDee]

Wild challenge on Halliday.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Red all day long

 

[BrooklynBlue]

He is doing what he has been told to do.

I doubt it. For someone who's been out due to his own stupidity and is on the periphery of the squad, we should be getting a lot more.

 

[LiviLoyal]

Well this has been dire Up it please Rangers

 

[Jaws II]

Jones loses the ball every time.
