There's a reason Gerrard whips Halliday straight out when Barasic is fit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m not sure he does whip Halliday straight out , in fact he left barisic out fairly recently when he was fit saying that barisic needed to man up. So that’s simply not true what you said
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He left him out v Hamilton. As sensible a fixture as any to rest a key player
He's been left on the bench 3x when fit all season and we have only won 1 of those games.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hamilton and killie then cos he defo left him out of the 2-1 loss to killie after the break?
I was just correcting your incorrect statement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pay specific attention to the "when fit" part of the comment
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have. He was fit for killie away after the winter break. Gerrard said it in his interview on the game. Left Halliday in due to old firm performance.
Ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Except he wasn't fit.
You'll remember him coming back into the team v Helsinki, then going down with an injury at the end. Hence the man up comments, although he then missed the next game v Kilmarnock.
Not even in the squad. Injured.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
See my last post with quotes from Gerrard saying he was fit.
As I suspected , you hadn’t actually read them and that’s why you’ve continued with this pile of dung.
So now we’ve established barisic hasn’t always been brought straight back in for Halliday when fit as you claimed, can we move on ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So the best evidence you can give is Gerrard said he was fit.
He'd been out for a month at that point, then went down again in his return game and you think that somehow highlights Halliday gets picked ahead of him.
It doesn't, Halliday played whilst he was injured and at best a game after where his fitness is disputed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes mate the best evidence I can give is the manager who picks the team saying barisic was fit and he chose Halliday. Which contradicts completely your earlier statement.
I rest my case
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Except he never at any point said he is fit. Even in the quote you provided.

I thought our manager was absolute pash again yesterday.
He's not doing it for me.
Why no change to personell, we had Defoe and Lafferty who could have brought something instead of Morelos(it wasn't happening and he was on a yellow)
terrible management again imo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed! this is more what i expected on here today.
The lack of subs was the infuriating bit for me.
Defoe should have been on for Morelos by 60mins imo. it just wasn't happening.
I think he was settling for the replay early doors in the 2nd half.
Hence why he didn't want too change it.
This is what we have to do to get a home tie

Agree with that. Don’t understand why you wouldn’t freshen things up in cm either.
They were simply marking us out the game in midfield so fresh legs would seem like the obvious thing there to me.
Don’t think Gerrard was pash though Aberdeen did everything to make it difficult for us, and we didn’t lose so end of the day depends what happen next game.
what happened to flannagan did he leave?
not that i want him to play he is psh aswell

‘Morelos cannot won now because of his reputation.’
It’s nothing to do with a reputation, it’s to do with his actions. All forwards get fouled, manhandled, etc-but Morelos is the only centre forward in Scotland that regularly kicks players and gets involved when there’s no need.
Aberdeen had 12 fouls yesterday and got 4 booked. Rangers had 16 fouls and 1 booked-which was Morelos for diving if I’m correct?! Goldson gave away a penalty and fouled a player that then had to get subbed and didn’t even get booked for it.
Mental.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The stats you have quoted back up exactly what I saw yesterday.
Aberdeen got away with loads - multiple obvious fouls going unpunished. Then later on in the game the ref seemed to start punishing them and booking Dons players.
Goldsons foul for the penalty was completely accidental. GMS came round on his blind side and he caught him as he went to clear the ball. It was an unfortunate foul and a penalty but there was zero intent so not sure why he should be booked.
Not every foul is a booking. And just because a foul is in the box it doesn't make it a booking.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have a very odd view of things.
And just for clarity, I didn’t say it should have been a booking, I’m merely pointing out that possibly the worst challenge of the day didn’t merit a booking. Intentional or not.
Not every challenge you see is a foul. Especially because it happened against rangers.
But the stats don’t back you up-they do show that the Aberdeen players were punished for fouls, but rangers players weren’t. I’ll leave it at that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It wasn’t the worst challenge of the day, that was Shinnies. Which was obviously a dangerous one.
Goldsons was just clumsy. Boy had a dead leg fs.
Cosgrove got away with a dive. Maclennan was lucky Candeias didnt go down after a professional foul, as in a straight kick to try bring him down on the break. Morelos should ya e had a pen too for an obvious foul start of second half. Never mind a couple other obvious barges.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What a very sensible way to view things IE .
As I said Aberdeen got away with loads yesterday - even the wee digs like the Mr Innocent Lowe barging Candeais off the pitch for no reason went unpunished.
I am glad POV pointed out the fouling and booking stats though because despite his claims it does exactly align with what I saw in the game yesterday and commented on earlier.
Loads of snidey Aberdeen play went unpunished (hence the relatively low foul count) but they kept pushing things to a point that couldn't be ignored and the ref started booking them later on in the game.
If the ref had clamped down on all the niggly stuff from Aberdeen earlier on he might not have ended up having to book so many when they took it too far. in the last 15-20 mins.

‘What a very sensible way to view things IE’
See when you get your opening sentence wrong, you just know it’s going downhill from there.
I agree with putting lafferty on and not Defoe, it wasn't a game for him at all. Lafferty should have been put on for sure.
The ref was a joke the whole game imo. Aberdeen got a way with so much until the end as others have said above.
We were lucky to come away with a draw and the replay though. I think Aberdeen to their credit (I hate saying it) completely stopped us playing. As per they have been shieyte at home against every team, yet they play Rangers and they play like it's a Champions League final.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think a draw was a fair enough result IMO and one I would have taken after 15 minutes with us a goal down and Morelos on a yellow.
I was disappointed in two main aspects of the game yesterday.
1. Our inability to defend set plays. This looked like Aberdeens only real threat. We missed too many first balls into the box but even worse we were also second best to second and third balls.
Ironically our goal came from a set play which is something we (and Worrall in particular) haven't looked anywhere near as much of a threat as we should have this season IMO.
2. our inability to capitalise on good attacking situations that we had done well to create - the quick breaks where we made wrong decisions (Kent/Candeais/Morelos) or chances in the box where we couldn't get a shot off (Morelos) or hit the target (Arfield).
Rapid high quality breaks seem to have been a bit of a strength of ours but yesterday we got it all wrong on pretty much every occasion.

Firstly, it wasn’t IE that replied to me.
Secondly, if you’re going to have a sensible view, then the Aberdeen player that had a go at Candeias wasn’t a professional foul-it was a stupid kick that was a yellow at most. Also, if you’re going to have a sensible view then you would say that Morelos was also lucky to stay on the park for the swipe he had at the Aberdeen player while he was on the ground, and also the snidey wee kick out he had as well.
I’ve no doubt that you’ll win the replay, but right now Gerrard has won one game out of 5 against Aberdeen. Maybe there are other reasons for that other than the Aberdeen team being able to wind up your players, being snidey, the pitch, etc...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I got my terms wrong, I meant it was a deliberate foul to try stop a break and so should be an obvious yellow. Can’t seriously argue that’s not a yellow?
Morelos was lucky to stay on the park. 3 Aberdeen players were lucky to stay on the pitch. They were also lucky they didn’t have a pen given against them. Never mind all the fouls we didn’t get.
The fact Morelos gets nothing from referees adds to his petulance. He’s an idiot but the snidey kick comes as he has an Aberdeen player on top of him stopping him from getting up, so he kicks out at other one.

Don't think you're talking about the same incident.
Morelos jumps up for a ball behind considine then kicks him in the calf.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The lad had already been booked as well so he should have been off.
But hey ho, we got what we deserved out the game so we move on.
Hopefully we can start a bit better in the replay and get an early goal.
Aberdeen will need to try and join in to a game of football if we score first.
I think every goal Aberdeen has scored against us this season has been from a set play/pen or a massive hoof into the box.
We have struggled to defend against that threat and struggled to break them down as well.
But for me it is no coincidence that the game we scored first in (with parity of numbers throughout the match) is the game we scored four in.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye that one as well
Was the swipe one I was on about there
Think the swipe was just an attempt to play the ball to be fair, don't think that merited a yellow.
So Morelos got away with 2 snidey kicks then?!
I thought the swipe was worse myself, the first one was like a fart in the wind, so snidey McKenna didn’t even notice it!
This is all a bit familiar....folks desperately scrambling around trying to find enough of a reason to justify a red for Morelos after a game.
Yet no one even seems to even know the name of the Aberdeen player who definitely should have got a red.
He gets no more than a passing mention.
It’s all about wee Alfredo, eh?
Only one? Maclennan, Cosgrove and Shinnie three that should’ve all been off, take your pick

Not putting too fine a point on it and stating the downright fwcking obvious but Morelos courts controversy with every little petulant swipe, the whining acting and the pathetic leaving his foot in after any decent challenge as well as just outright barging of players with little chance of getting never mind seeing the ball.
And you want anyone like a referee to see his point of view ffs?
He really is a case of “bringing it on himself”.

I’ve no doubt that you’ll win the replay, but right now Gerrard has won one game out of 5 against Aberdeen. Maybe there are other reasons for that other than the Aberdeen team being able to wind up your players, being snidey, the pitch, etc...

‘What a very sensible way to view things IE’
See when you get your opening sentence wrong, you just know it’s going downhill from there.

I don't expect you agree POV.

I got my terms wrong, I meant it was a deliberate foul to try stop a break and so should be an obvious yellow. Can’t seriously argue that’s not a yellow?
Morelos was lucky to stay on the park. 3 Aberdeen players were lucky to stay on the pitch. They were also lucky they didn’t have a pen given against them. Never mind all the fouls we didn’t get.
The fact Morelos gets nothing from referees adds to his petulance. He’s an idiot but the snidey kick comes as he has an Aberdeen player on top of him stopping him from getting up, so he kicks out at other one.

Don't think you're talking about the same incident.
Morelos jumps up for a ball behind considine then kicks him in the calf.

The lad had already been booked as well so he should have been off.
But hey ho, we got what we deserved out the game so we move on.
Hopefully we can start a bit better in the replay and get an early goal.
Aberdeen will need to try and join in to a game of football if we score first.
I think every goal Aberdeen has scored against us this season has been from a set play/pen or a massive hoof into the box.
We have struggled to defend against that threat and struggled to break them down as well.
But for me it is no coincidence that the game we scored first in (with parity of numbers throughout the match) is the game we scored four in.

Aye that one as well
Was the swipe one I was on about there

Think the swipe was just an attempt to play the ball to be fair, don't think that merited a yellow.

So Morelos got away with 2 snidey kicks then?!

I thought the swipe was worse myself, the first one was like a fart in the wind, so snidey McKenna didn’t even notice it!

This is all a bit familiar....folks desperately scrambling around trying to find enough of a reason to justify a red for Morelos after a game.
Yet no one even seems to even know the name of the Aberdeen player who definitely should have got a red.
He gets no more than a passing mention.
It’s all about wee Alfredo, eh?

Only one? Maclennan, Cosgrove and Shinnie three that should’ve all been off, take your pick

Not putting too fine a point on it and stating the downright fwcking obvious but Morelos courts controversy with every little petulant swipe, the whining acting and the pathetic leaving his foot in after any decent challenge as well as just outright barging of players with little chance of getting never mind seeing the ball.
And you want anyone like a referee to see his point of view ffs?
He really is a case of “bringing it on himself”.
