I don’t think anyone is laying the blame for the defeat on Gio-merely that he had a chance to possibly influence the second half.

He apparently chose not to.

@Stevie, you know how it works on here. If Gio had gone to the dugout during the game the same mopey cvnts would be on here all day demanding that the government take appropriate action against him for "working" prior to his start and permit date.


Blow torch...brass neck....

Would make no sense for him to get involved merely for the second half

He either took charge for the full game, or he didnt get involved at all yesterday

Was clearly the latter, so it's nonsensical argue he bottled out of something......he wasn't the manager at that point

Yeah-that makes sense.

I mean, it’s not as if it was a game that meant anything. It was a cup game. And we know what you guys think about cup competitions…

I think some are only making an observation about an opportunity he had. It’s an opinion. You don’t agree, which is fine. As others have pointed out, it was a potential lose-lose situation for him.

I think you’re making more of it than anyone else is now though.

I had been worried about this game for weeks

We had been getting by in the league....just...but I had a feeling all these lacklustre performances were gonna see us lose more than a point or two..

Morning troops

The sun is shining, sky is blue and summer is nearly here.

Just been reading this drivel before I get up for work. Some sensible posters from the Bhoys on here, JFK etc, was good to read.

Yes look, I think Gio has been sensible here. Rangers have done well to get Gio in so quickly after Gerrard did a midnight flitting. Just for the record, thanks Steven Gerrard for delivering 55 and improving the squad. Good luck at Villa.

Personally, I am delighted Gio is in charge now. A new era is beginning at Rangers. After that performance on Sunday and Goldsons post match comments, it's obvious a change in management was required.

I am glad an ex player of the club is in charge to instil discipline and big club thinking. There was a lack of fight and passion in our team this season and as goldson says, lack of hunger. Some players will need to be sold in January no doubt due to their bad attitude and lack of compatibility with Gio new coaching ethics etc likewise, new blood will come in.

Looking forward to it. 👍

The league cup debacle is behind us now. Onwards and upwards. Welcome Gio 👍

Harsh.
Stevie's not everyone's cup of team but drivel is a bit much.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to confirm the time, The weather and the season. I don't see anyone else doing it

anyones guess? the reason is out there from the man himself.

only a fool needs to guess when the answer is there

That would certainly be the most logical assumption. I’m not really that sure why people are so desperate to invent other scenarios.
Probably a bit embarrassed with how easily Hibs schooled them I would think.

I predicted we would skelp someone....and we did

Even in that game.....we conceeded the first goal....same as we have done in our last 6 games

I think it's perfectly rational to suggest that given the amount of possession we are having in games, a skelping was on the cards for someone...but at the same time, constantly giving the first goal away is going to bite us on the ar$e

That's exactly what has happened

We had 18 shots against Hibs, scored 1
Hibs had 4, scored 3

So again, if we could actually finish our dinner, we could've skelped Hibs

and perhaps if we could defend a bit better, teams getting 4 shots against us wouldn't be scoring 3 goals

All perfectly rational....but apparently, in your book...saying both is impossible

Rational...yes. misleading though.

You had so many shots because you were unable to create proper chances and were reduced to lazy speculative efforts. Reasonable endeavour but no craft.

How is it misleading

We had 71% possession, 18 shots at goal, and scored 1

It tells you everything you need to know…..we are not using the ball well enough, and we are in no way clinical enough

The other stat also tells you all you need to know…and it’s not the first time

Teams are not having to do much to beat us, we are allowing them to get 3 or 4 shots at goal, and as a result, they as scoring 2 or 3 goals…so we are not defending well either, we are gifting teams goals constantly.

If we had allowed Hibs to get 10 or 11 shots at goal, it would likely have been a cricket score for Hibs….the fact we are not allowing teams bucket loads of chances against us shows we are capable of defending, but we are consistently making silly mistakes to give teams silly goals.

The fact we put 6 past Motherwell, and 4 past Ross County last week, shows we can create and can score goals.

All too often, we are not putting both together in the same game….first and foremost, we need to start defending much better, as we cannot continually allow teams to go 1,2,3 goals up and expect to win matches

but scored 3 in 30 minutes v 10 men and it was a skelping?

Ok I hear you
