I hope we pump this mob! #COLTS We didn't we couldn't we hit the bar a couple of times but again the heavy pitch took it's toll. We lack ideas we lack the gelling that we had in previous months it was as times farcical as well as laughable but with a boss who still has a heart in Ibrox what do you expect. So disappointed with the level of performance and commitment today. As for player of the day has to be Saunders...lol! |

Can't believe I was stupid enough to buy a season ticket after Miller was hired. A wage thief as a player for us and a hapless manager.
Saunders isn't even Championship standard, Lawless is an ineffective headless chicken and both Miller's are past it. Also, sorry to say it but Pittman looks like this is a step too far for him.
It is very concerning how badly we dropped out the game in the second half of this game and last week's as well.
I have no doubt that Hopkin's team from last season playing his was would hammer K. Miller's s team. I don't think I can cope with watching that another 17/18 times.

He is not passionate about us and that is very sad. |

Hand your season tickets back then, I can’t believe the rubbish I’m reading on this site.

It's a real shame that the feel good factor from the promotion has gone, but that's football. This was a great opportunity for the club, but the board has messed up big time with the pitch and K. Miller. |

Don't read it then you have one of the few that has come along for the ride, let's make this simple we are managed by a guy who states his heart is in Ibrox what confidence does that give. We have lost all passion and drive that was clear to see today there is is not as much gelling as in Hoppy days. So do yourself a favour and wake up and smell the coffee! |

Miller. I’m sure if you show your nonsense rant in person they will be happy to accommodate. It’s funny because the feel good factor is still around, amongst most anyway, certainly around me most fans are understanding of the fact we are in for a tough season and are happy we are where we are, the premiership against all the odds, don’t forget all we wanted was to remain in the championship last season, but comments like above can damage that feel good factor very quickly. I get it, you’re not a fan of Kenny Miller, I’m pretty sure regardless of what he does you won’t like him, he’s lost 2 in 7, 1 of which was at Celtic Park but hey if that’s not good enough then so be it. The same people already having a go at Miller have to remember how Hoppy turned out. As for Hoppy, it wasn’t the boards fault he didn’t renew, it was his call, the board wanted him to stay he decided otherwise, They appointed Miller as they thought that would be the best move, 7 games in I can’t tell you if it is or isn’t, who can ? Regardless of who was appointed he was in for a tough gig, we are working with a budget that half the championship would tower over, we have 1100 season ticket holders, we are undoubted favourites to go back down, what is the expectations ? It’s time to get real. As for the pitch, I seem to remember a lot of talk amongst our fan base of us wanting a 3G surface installed, now we’ve done that it was the wrong move because we are being criticised by other people, well you know what f**k them, we are looking after ourselves, I believe we will save a fortune by installing the pitch, if that’s wrong then I don’t know what’s right. |

I’ve not “just came along for the ride” I’ve watched this side go up through the leagues and back down the way, two administrations, deducted points and an unlikely back to back promotions, I’m a realist and understand the position the club finds itself in, by rights we shouldn’t be anywhere near the top flight, but here we are. Let’s make this simple, I’ve read that article that you keep going on about, not once does he say his heart is at Ibrox, Infact quite the opposite when he states his mind is on one thing and that’s managing Livingston. If you don’t like him just say so, don’t make shit up to create an agenda. I have no idea what team or games you’ve been watching the last couple of weeks but I saw a side hungry and running themselves into the ground in our first two league games and today I saw a team that never gave up and right to the last minute we’re givinh everything, same as last season, this is a passionate group of players and to say otherwise is just silly. |

This is true, couldn't care less if everyone moans about our pitch, Accies have taken full advantage of having a plastic pitch for years and it has helped keep them in the top tier. If everyone hates playing on it then great, as long as we get used to it and make that an advantage then i'm delighted. Only real problem we have just now is up front, everywhere else is doing pretty well, Lawless looks a fantastic signing, gets right in there and wins a lot of 50/50 balls, once Sibbald is back too we'll have that bit of guile we're lacking in attack, and Ryan Hardie isn't far away either. I understand the frustrations watching us struggling to score but we're not conceding many either so once Hardie is back we only need the odd goal from him and hopefully that'll give everyone else a wee lift to chip in with a goal here and there too. Where Miller's heart lies doesn't bother me, we've had players in the past and present who support one of the Glasgow erse cheeks, as long as he gives it his best here then what does it matter. My main concern is him not being able to try something different, like Lee Miller and Jack Hamilton up front together and see how they get on, today would've been an ideal opportunity for him when it wasn't a league game. |

Can't comment on the game as I had arranged something else before we qualified from the group & I didn't realise this would be a cup tie weekend. However I expected a defeat as we seem to be struggling to score. The main reason for that, as far as I have seen is that we have a target man with no one feeding off his flick ons & lay offs because the manager (I don't like him & didn't want him but we've got him & I want him to be a success despite the ego massage of an article in the Scotsman) who, whenever I have seen us play, is too busy managing on the pitch that he forgets his primary job when he's there is to play FOR & WITH the team.
The article made it clear he has no intention of dropping himself & that is a major mistake because it might just turn out that the best partnership doesn't include him. He may well be more famous than the club but the old adage that no one is bigger than the club has to hold true regardless of who the manager is.
As for the pitch, I've never liked fake grass but if this allows us to gain an advantage (we have tended to play quite well on fake grass over the years) & to gain extra income from other events being staged there in the close season then that would be brilliant.

The feel good factor is still there and, as far as I’m concerned, will be here all season long. We are in the Premiership when we were in League One only 15 months ago. So people need a reality check and have to appreciate that, no matter who we have as manager, we are going to be at the bottom end of the table. We’re facing a very different season to the last couple. We’ve already seen how tough it’s going to be - but we’ve also seen that this squad of players is committed, determined and competitive. We can ask no more!
Forget the game at Parkhead. A very competitive draw against a strong Kilmarnock. A very competitive and narrow defeat to another established Premiership side in the the cup yesterday. We’ve shown we can compete against sides who’ve been in this league for years. I’m delighted about that. Our squad is looking stronger and, once the injuries clear up, we’ve got strength in depth.
We’ll win a few games by the odd goal and lose some the same way. Converting a few of those to draws will determine whether we stay up or go down.
Either way, and even when mistakes are made, I’ll be there to support the players, the manager, the staff and the board.

We can ask more Col; we can ask that the manager actually behave like a player on the pitch rather than a manager, or drop himself so that we actually have 11 players on the pitch rather than 10&1/2

Where has Miller stated his heart is at Ibrox?
Haven't read any of the thread after that, assume it's the same moany bollocks.

I believe it is an interpretation some are putting on his comments in the Scotsman article on the other thread where he says he was a Rangers supporter as a kid.
That wasn’t the phrase that bothered me, I couldn’t care less who he supported as a kid, what bothered me was his suggestion that he believes he could still be playing in 6 years time & other comments that make it sound like he is undroppable.
What bothers me most however, is his insistence on trying to manage the team during the game, when he is doing that he is not contributing as a player & when he is on the pitch his first priority is to play to the best of his ability... so far I have not seen that.
