why no thread

Was dreading this game, but the closer it gets the more I am looking forward to it (having said that if it all goes Pete Tong I'm getting the fuck out of dodge well before the final whistle).

 

Anyway still tickets available....that once in each of the last 2 seasons we've failed to sell out our pitiful Ibrox allocation, and while understandable is a tad sad.

Lets get torn about them:

 

Saturday 16 May Rangers v Aberdeen kick off 12.30pm

 

Jimmy Calderwood spoke to David Ridd and RedTV at lunchtime and started by giving the team news. "Smith's out and Kerr's back. Smith's out for the season although it doesn't look as bad as we first thought. Young, Diamond and Mackie are out for rest of the season and we may get Considine and Wright back for the last game of the season. Peter Pawlett also got a wee injury in the reserve game yesterday so he will have a fitness test tomorrow and we'll see how that goes.

 

"I don't think Rangers will start the game on Saturday like they did against Hibs, I think they will want to put us under a lot of pressure from the off and hopefully get a few goals.

 

"It's going to be a cauldron on Saturday and with all the games I've been to, outwith Rangers Celtic, I don't think there's a game in the SPL that comes close to Rangers Aberdeen.The crowd and the atmosphere just feels different. The boys will tell you that they can't hear me shouting from the sideline, they probably think that's a good thing, but the noise levels are just immense. It's up to the players on the pitch to take command of the situation and keep pushing on.

 

"We obviously play first before the Hearts United game and I think it would shake a few feathers were we to get anything from the game at Ibrox. I think all the pressure is on Rangers, they have to win the game. A draw for us and there's still hope but I think if they were to draw then it would not be good for them.

 

"I think we have played well there recently but we've just not been getting the breaks.Last time they got a scrappy goal after us defending too deep.I think we could have won games down there so I don't get overly concerned about our poor record but Ibrox is the only SPL stadium which I've not won at and I would love to get that changed this weekend. I know how much it would mean to the fans.

 

"Sooner or later your luck is going to change but we have to believe in ourselves. We know it's going to be a whirlwind coming at us in the first 15/20 minutes but that may well be stopped if they get caught with a bit of pace at the back."

Watched the game on Setanta.  SFA need to punish Lafferty, what a fucking disgrace, and a terrible decision from the linesman to send Mulgrew off.  Wankers.

 

Thought we played quite well, passed the ball about a lot instead of lumping it up the park.  Paton, Pawlett both did well.

Two stupid goals to lose though. 

 

McDonald had a great chance but hit the bar, when he should really have scored.

 

Completely agree with everything you say there. Shame Foster sold us for both the goals. I realise he couldn't really do that much about the first, but he should have been putting pressure on Miller for the second. McDonald really ought to have scored from his position We played well for most of the game though and I left the pub feeling proud and slightly gutted we didn't get a draw.

Kyle Lafferty - fucking disgrace!!! Think I heard Walter saying he was going to fined and rightly so

 

Hearts are winning - as much as this pains me I am happy at that

Fuck me, Hearts 2-0 up already. If that stays as it is 4th place is not such a hard thing to achieve next week.

If Rangers beat Utd all we need to do is beat Hibs. Easily possible and brilliant if it happens. Love Utd not to get into Europe.

Foster was murder today. Not just for the two goals but his passing in general. Too often he just touched it passed a player and thought he could sprint past him. Numerous times he had the ball and failed to find the player 5-10 yards away from him. It seems harsh to blame him for the first goal because Langfield maybe could have came and collected but he slid in with his boot straight, it was only ever going to go one place. Definitely should have made a sweeping action with his feet which you feel the likes of Seve would have attempted.

 

Think this is me finally losing my patience with Ricky. I recognise he will always give 100% but sadly it just isn't enough.

I thought he did well today as did all of our players, not one of them, in my view, had a bad game

I didn't think Duff did much to be honest, I think he's too lightweight.  Foster's confidence seemed to go after the O.G.

Foster has no confidence. That's the problem.

I thought he did ok up until then, a few loose balls here and there, but generally seemed to be quite steady. But yes, he does appear to generally lack confidence, which is quite strange since he's in the first team all the time.

Foster's defending for the second was indefensible. He has never had the ability going forward apart from the very odd long range goal. We played ok today but Foster was typically lacking.

Just in thoughts:

 

Lafferty = silly billy!

 

Severin, on his day WHAT a player, I hope he stays next season.

 

Lovely finish for our goal.

 

Didn't really see much of their goals, shall pass judgement after watching the highlights.

 

If Lafferty got booked for 'simulation' how did Mulgrew get send off??

 

Played some good football, half time seemed to come at the wrong time for us, we didn't look so good in the second.

 

Didn't agree with the substituitions.

 

Lee Mair is a terrible excuse of a player.

 

Glasgow's west end is a magical place for a night out

 

MoTM - Severin, absolutely solid performance.

Where did you hit last night Dave?

 

I thought Maguire was coming on instead of Duff. I must admit I was slightly perplexed by the choice as I don't think Duff has enough fight/strength to play against a team full of brutes.

Where did you hit last night Dave?

 

Somerfield

The Academy

'The wee pub'

Somewhere upstairs on a cobbled street?

The Garage

A Late-night Subway

 

Also, what's the correct answer to give to a bouncer when they ask you where you've been? "I've just tanked a half bottle of vod in my hotel room" appears to be the wrong answer.

 

Finally, met John Hartson on Sock-e-hall Street and my friend pee'd on his shoes

Anywhere on Ashton lane, could have been the loft, nude, or a few others. I saw Neil the C*** Lennon in Jinty's last week. What a ginger Tim wank he is. Viper/Buff or even ABC are much better than Gayrage, remember that for next season 

I thought Lafferty was booked for the original challenge.

 

Pretty sure he was Harcs. Up late son? Lafferty has the instinct to get another player sent off. The natural instinct of a fucking cunt and should be completely shunned. Fucking shocking excuse for a man. Utter utter shitehouse.

Got absoluted bolloxed last night - a restaurant nearby shut down and left all the drink in the hands of a mate of mine! Just woke up.

 

Watched the game in a Rangers pub in Cambridge, even the natives there were saying Lafferty was a disgrace. Fairly indignant about the next sending off though. 

 

I was in two minds about the huns red. My first impression was that it was a tad harsh, then when you see the replay he had no right going for it the way he did, straight leg, studs up. Right decision I think! Mark Hatefully on Setanta was unbelievable, I was open mouthed when he effectively said Mulgrew had only himself to blame and was suckered into it! Even Hartson was having fucking none of it!

It was the correct decision to send him off, classic over the ball challenge, studs up, he had to go.  I'm amazed the huns are acting so hard done by.  I hate the feckers.

It was the first time (and probably the last time) in my life i've ever agreed with the Pie man.

Are you really though? They are scum and they are acting like we expect them to. All my hun mates were up in arms, and I just told them he was probably schooled to do it. I mean they do have that wanker McCoist as a coach anyway. The precedent is within their ranks.

Yesterday listening to him I finally got why everyone on here hates him sooooooooooooooo much

You didn't know why Aberdeen fans hate Hately? Really?

 

From where I was standing I thought it was a sending off, two footed, raised foot with studs showing.  Was pretty sure Dougal wouldn't give a red card but when I noticed the Linesman flagging I became a bit more confident the right decision would have been made.  Shame the linesman couldn't have been as helpful when standing right next to Flopperty and Mulgrew.

Loved Scotty Booth's comment as Lafferty got subbed:

 

"He's not exactly had a match to remember, has he?"

Anyone else notice during half time there was a Setanta advert for next season?

 

They obviously don't think we'll make the Europa league.

Smith said on the radio he was disappointed with Lafferty.
