Overwhelming benefits of being organised

635

St Mirren’s late goal at Ibrox yesterday was as welcome as it was unexpected, but it means little for us.  It was only the fourth league goal Rangers have conceded all season and Celtic almost conceded a fourth goal in the final minutes against Kilmarnock.  Four goals conceded in 11 games is championship winning form.

Rangers are certainly not a European-standard team at the moment but they are overwhelmingly organised.

We’re in trouble.

    I’m unsure if you are at the wind up or if those are your genuinely held beliefs. To describe what Neil Lennon went through last year as, ‘unsavoury’, demonstrates a very poor understanding of what he and his family have had to endure.

     

    A very disappointing post.

    Please excuse me for butting in but the reason Neil Lennon was targeted was simply due to him being an Irish Catholic manager of Cetlic FC and to his credit he handled himself with immense courage and we do owe him for not taking a backward step in the face of such raw sectarian hatred.

     

     

    Comparing his situation to that of freedom fighters in Syria and Libya is a little spurious.

    Do not use religion when I never mentioned anything of the sort in that post.

     

     

    Thank You and Good Night.

    Paul67,

     

     

    While I agree with your contention, I feel that we would somehow not be true to ourselves if we really get ourselves organised. As Billy McNeil once put it, “we are the Cavaliers; they’re the Roundheads”. When MON and WGS adopted this mentality, many of us criticised the team for not being entertaining. But if we want to get that winning mentality back, we need to get organised.

  5. stephenpollok,

     

     

    If you think what our manager had to endure was simply unsavoury, you either have no concept of what he suffered or you couldn’t care. Blatant sectarian hatred is evil, wherever it manifests itself. We owe our manager big time. His and his family’s life was made a hell.

    midfield maestro –

     

     

    You on your travels again?

     

     

    It’s wet and windy and dreich here on the Gold Coast too.

     

     

    Enjoy Madrid.

  7. The defence is a disorganised mess, ni question. However it is a product of a lack of investment.

     

     

    We have a defence filled with players who either cost nothing or very little. When players are available on Bosmans or for free, it is usually a pretty strong indicztion that they aren’t good enough for teams they were with before. When they are available for a small fee, that is often a similar indicator

     

     

    Which means realistically we have a defence which is depenent on players who were not good enough for the following clubs

     

     

    AEK Athens

     

    Nottingham Forest

     

    Freiburg

     

    Aberdeen

     

     

    What on earth made anyone at Celtic think they would be good enough for us. You can occasionally get away with buying or signing a player not wanted by a C list club, however only when they are surrounded by top players

     

     

    We are basing our entire defensive strategy on freebies, and cheap players

     

     

    Why would we logically expect top class performance

  8. For any posters who hail from Castlemilk, today is the feast of St Margaret Mary.

     

     

    It’s also the feast day of St John the Dwarf who hailed from Lower Egypt.

     

    I don’t think he’d solve our problems at centre half.

    Is that Wee St.John?

     

    Did he play for Liverpool?

  10. SOAL He’s away to get some serious Corporate Governance work, as he’s been excluded on adding his considerable expertise in that area since CW took over…..

  11. John Greig and John McClelland both resign. They.were isolated from corporate governance. Even BBC admitting thus must be worrying for Hun fans.

    DBBIA – reasons to be cheerful? On a Monday morning? In weather like this? With a broken blog?

     

     

    Sorry, mate, can’t help you there.

    Na the one you speak of would never be a saint :)

     

     

    Imagine being put on the saintly roll of honour only to discover your title is John the Dwarf :)

  14. “These resignations have been communicated

     

    by letter to the chairman, Craig Whyte,” read a statement.

     

     

    “Both were of the opinion that since the

     

    change of ownership they have been excluded from participating in corporate governance at the club.”

     

     

    surely as non execs they have no participation in the corporate governance of the club ?

    Are you saying God is Dwarvist?

     

    Is that a fact?

     

     

    Is it worth throwing that idea about a bit?

    If we now have a fully committed Kayal, 7 points will be a breeze to get back.

     

     

    Have I missed a big announcement?

     

     

    Where does this come from? Kayal was anything but committed on Saturday, shied out of tackles, did not track runs, which ultimately cost us the first goal. Who is now saying he is fully committed to the club?

     

     

    Hail Hail!

    that last sentence could have read, surely John Greig being thick as mince has never and never will have any involvement with or contribution to corporate governance for the huns or any other organisation….. :-)

  20. Goodbye John Greig, see ya.

     

    Never forgiven him for the diabloical ‘tackle’ which broke our Buzz Bomb’s leg, criminal.

     

    Anyway, onward and upward
