Interesting that a team with Pearson, McManus and McDonald finished 11th yet this lot with the poorer players finished 5th. It might just be that Alexander is able to organise a team to get the very best out of his squad while Barraclough could not. We have come back countless times this season. Ibrox twice, St Mirren, away and home, Aberdeen and Morton in the cup, Livingston all spring to mind recently. This indicates the players are motivated and think positively. That might just be down to the manager.

Absolutely raging at the club for agreeing to this. Their supporters cause mayhem at a ladies game. They shafted us for tickets at their midden. Oh and Mrs Sinjy asked me last week what day we could visit her brother and sister and go for a meal. Everything booked for Saturday. Another game I cant get to. Is it worth buying a season ticket next season when we get mucked around. At least when the game is switched for TV we get plenty of warning but this is ridiculous.

He is scoring regularly for Leyton Orient where Craig Clay also plays.

I swore after Ross Co, Dundee and Hibs I was done with away games. At 2.50 withdrawal symptoms set in and I paid £17.50 to watch one of the worst games of football imaginable. No creativity, no finesse or skill. Two bad teams with one worldy shot that won it. I would regard myself as a happy clapper but that was unacceptable. I really fear that if we do not make the top six we will end up in the play off. A couple more defeats and we could be only five or six points in front of St Johnstone at the start of the run in. The problems seem to stem from January. Watt was a big loss as he got us up the park holding the ball and buying fouls. Combine his loss with the players who came in. Roberts was poor before. What is the point of Shaw, and Tierney looks like someone's son playing in his dad's testimonial. Team selections are strange. Woolery did well at Ibrox but has been on the bench since. Slattery was a star before Xmas but has disappeared. Playing five at the back against Hibs was a change that I thought might work but not to have O'Donnell and Carroll's the wing backs was wrong McGinley and Mugabe are basically defenders. Admittedly that didn't work too well on Saturday. Then on Saturday only two midfielders, Donnelly and a rookie, Cornelius, just made it clear we were going to hoof it and miss out the midfield. I thought Alexander was great booking but I am now having severe doubts.

Told Mrs sinjy at half time that I would be available shortly as expected the worst. I didn't listen to the Rangers TV commentary but am fair enjoying McCann and Kerr analysing the game so the missus is still waiting patiently to go out. Kelly was brilliant and Lamie seemed to put his body in front of everything. Hope we can now kick on in midweek.

My understanding is that the club was put off by reports from one of his teachers who had very strong links to Motherwell FC.

No vote from me. I thought Maguire was the best of a bad lot but the manager must have thought otherwise to take him off. Just shows what I know.

I have gone right off this forum recently. The negative comments aimed at many of our players and the management have been way over the top. I have supported the Well for over sixty years and will always give the club and whoever is in charge my backing. Today was one of the best performances in years. It gave me as much pleasure as the two recent semi final wins. Every player was up for it and there wasn't one failure. Disappointingly I am writing this on page five. The Rangers defeat got 13 pages. That says a lot about this forum.

The most despicable most horrible football club on the planet. Let's get right into them. COYW

Alexander has identified that mid field is our problem so he hasn't picked a mid field. Very strange.

I went to collect mine on Thursday but was told the machine had broken and they were waiting on a part they expected to be delivered on Friday. It would be best to check before travelling to Fir Park to collect to save a wasted journey.

Are the club continuing their live streaming for stay at home season ticket holders? It is not really suitable for me to travel through to a 4.30 ko on a Sunday evening.

if we only draw we need to win the pens as QP have a better go and seven points too.

Just asking but when Patterson came on at Hampden was that the first time he had played in front of a crowd? Rangers only had him and the third choice goalie in the squad. The media needed a Rangers player to write about to satisfy their readers. It is that sort of parochialism that harms the progress of our national team. Good on Clarke for ignoring them.

According to Wiki he was Alexander's assistant at Scunthorpe for two years, taking over as manager when Alexander left.

You have clearly missed the point. McLaughlin is a Rangers ( reserve player) so thoroughly deserves to be in the squad. Why take a youngster when you have an experienced Rangers player. My piss is boiled again by his selection. Pandering to the OF has held us back for years. If McLaughlin and Paterson were not in the squad then there would have been no one for the sychofants in the press to write about.

The selection of Paterson really boils my piss. Eight first team games and he is in the squad. Is that because Rangers had only one other player there? To be a defender for 8 games in the team that wins the league by miles is not exactly someone who has been put under any pressure. Reminds me of Jack Hendry who played half a season with Dundee who were at the bottom of the league and under pressure every week - no where near Scotland squad and was then transferred to Celtic and only played intermittently for the rest of the season but got into the Scotland team. Old firm bias holds this country back. The press touting their players. No doubt we will now get extensive coverage of the Lowland League next season and there will be some wonder kids we will be told about and then never hear of again after next season. I hope O'Donnell does really well and keeps this recent media darling on the sidelines.

I have some memory of reading that the first thought was to move the pitch towards the south to make equal space behind each goal. This was quickly ditched when it would have meant the POD stand would have been even more out of line

I did not watch the game today but have just watched the highlights and I am absolutely raging. The incompetence of officials in this country is beyond belief. What is worse do they not even know the rules? Two players should be between the goal and the attacker and when the goalie steps out they should be well aware of this situation. On Sportscene they glossed over it by saying it was a great move as if that made it alright and then excused the officials as it was an unusual situation. Imagine the meltdown if the same move sees the bigots knocked out tomorrow .

I don't think it is weird at all to be punting Alan Campbell. His transfer fee will be decided by training compensation this time. That sum will probably be more than we would get in a straight transfer if he resigned and we sold him at the end of next season.

Of course Watt s a quality player. O'Donnell is an international. Where are the others in our retained group. Carson if he gets fit. Donnelly if he recovers full fitness. The rest are journeymen SPL players. Recruitment will be vital if we are to challenge for top six next year.

Looking at our team just now I get a real fear about next season. Who are the best players in our squad? I would suggest Kelly, Gallagher, Campbell, and Cole. All four will be away come the summer. Huge boots to fill.

Very light on forwards on the bench. Only Hastie as an attacker.

You get a sight of someone in a no 38 tracksuit eating his dinner in the latest inside Motherwell video. I had to look up the squad list and Nolan is 38 so we are feeding him.

As far as I am concerned Rangers fans are scum. It is a long time since I braved Ibrox but always found the walk from the car very intimidating. I am old enough to remember the time in the seventies when they broke in at Fir Park when we were ahead, the game got stopped and we lost after the restart. No action by the SFA. Rangers have been in three European finals and two of them, Barcelona and Manchester have ended in riots yet the media continue to fawn over them.
