Probably a bit of a pisser for diddy outfits though.
You forgot "for the first time". Probably a bit of a pisser for diddy outfits though.

3 points and a clean sheet for Hibs. Level on points with Raith Rovers who have a tricky tie at Tannadice next week. Looks like the Bairns struggled today?
We will do f
k all this season. We have sold our best players and replaced them with past it dross. We are mundane In every position. Honestly it's the worst I've seen us play in years. technodup said:

Very temporary. Probably a bit of a pisser for diddy outfits though.
I think all Rangers fans have realised how dire the team actually is.
A draw against Hamilton, honest mistakes to assist a win at Dundee, and toiling to a win against a poor Motherwell team.
They are only top as Celtic have played a game less and Hearts,Celtic and Aberdeen have already crossed paths.
An easy start that Rangers have made look very hard.

Do you see quality in that team?
Yeah but it's not working hard enough and/or clicking consistently yet. Someone soon is going to get leathered when Rangers convert more than 10% of their chances in a game - Garner might go some way to helping that.I think Rangers' GK, midfield and attack is better than Aberdeen and Hearts, and close to as good as Celtic. Toure should hold Celtic together at the back better though, and added to Sinclair and Griffiths up top, that'll be the difference between the teams come May.

Frankly at the minute I don't give a fk. We're back in the top league, the off field seems to be stable, if we get Ashley to fk then even better. Club finances and stability are more important than performances or the difference between 4th and 5th places. But it's nice to see Rangers at the top of the tree, even if it is a stty wee tree.We've come a long way baby.

I've not watched much of Rangers this season, but I'm not seeing them bulldozing teams at all.
By all accounts they were lucky against Dundee and Motherwell could have won at the weekend too. Booed off the park at halftime and the comments I seen were nobody could see where a goal was coming from. Warburton is getting a lot of stick these days too.
Some of the stats show Rangers only have a few efforts on target, or off target, in their 3 league games so far.
The match report says Hamilton were comfortable in the first game. Not sure I follow the logic that a team is going to take a thumping when Rangers have struggled in all 3 games so far. They've been lucky rather than unlucky from what I've seen. They've not exactly been creating that many chances.

We're three games in, you admit you haven't watched them but you feel confident to appraise performances and make predictions? A new team that means nothing to you?By all accounts they were lucky against Dundee and Motherwell
All. About. The. Rangers.

Do you have to start all this again? Can't you just have a football discussion without going over the same stuff over and over again? All. About. The. Rangers.
I've not watched a full game, but I've watched the highlights shows, I listen tonthe radio, I read reports about all of the games, (not just Rangers)I read other football forums, I know people who go to Rangers games and all the stats are there to read.
Nowhere else am I reading Rangers are dominating games. I was just curious to where his opinion came from.
If you're going to start all this s
t again, either ignore me, or its time for the mods to ban you from here.Edited by Driver101 on Monday 22 August 19:51

Aye, OK boss. 
Or how about seeing as Celtic have their own thread, and Celtic fans including yourself got the Rangers one shut down leaving this one the only one to talk about Rangers... you can see where I'm going here.
Or rather where you should be going.

I left you lot to get on with it knowing exactly where it was going.
I really don't know why you get all defensive and argumentative all the time. It's weird behaviour. If you are incapable of talking football, I really don't understand why you keep coming back just to get offended over very small matters. My point is hardly bad, or unfair. Edinburger said worse but you don't go looking for a fight with him..
You keep accusing me of things I've never said, yet keep excusing your multiple "one-off" participation in the Celtic thread every time you've a reason to dive in.
Let's call it quits and stop wasting this thread for everyone else again.

You're in the SPL for the first time - not "back in" it.
Club finanances are precarious to say the least.
And you won't be top of the league much longer. A mid-table team, at best.
