Thread | Why do we keep conceding within 10 minutes of half time?
at 23:18 24 Feb 2026
Yes this one’s for you A!
If a shopkeeper was to keep leaving the rear door of his jewellers shop open when he went to lunch and coming back 10 minutes late found that he had been robbed, how many times would that need to happen before he realised that he needed to close the door or come back sooner?
Our players appear ‘out to lunch’ before half time but always after!!
Are they thick?
I’m beginning to think that they don’t understand the concept of not conceding in first and last periods if each half
🤷♂️🙄🤔

If a defender is facing his goal line with the ball at his feet DO NOT go nearer than 2 ft as the moment he feels you there he’ll go down- EVERY time!!!
Armstrong used to do it, Smyth, Kone, Kholli and Vale are doing it !!
Why do they not understand this??? 🤷♂️🤬🙄

Should we have spent money on the former or the latter?
We should have seen these injuries coming as for years they have been saying we are Hamstrung financially!
No we are hamstrung physically🤬 |

Thread | Why do we keep conceding immediately after half time??
at 17:45 14 Feb 2026
This is something that is really grating on me!
We keep letting in goals within 15 minutes if the restart but it seems it is more often between 5-10 minutes!
WHY??🤷♂️
Surely some of you out there are annoyed by this - I cannot be the only one?!
We don’t score as many as we concede in the 10 minutes after the break so it’s either our mindset or other teams know we are slow!!🙄🤔
Can someone please do something about it!!!🥱👍 |

at 17:38 14 Feb 2026
Not a rant, not a moan- we lost and we will lose and win again!
My question is whether anyone else is frustrated by the apparent absence of intelligence or awareness during the game?
So many time we give the opposition the chance to fall over and win a foul where we could simply stand off and not give the ref the opportunity to be fooled!
If a defender is facing his goal line DON’T go up behind him as any touch will cause him to go down!!
Also Smyth ( twice) and Kone - don’t push the defender!
Why don’t our players understand this??
So many times today we did it!!!
Talented? maybe🤔 but intelligent in attacking situations 🤔🙄🤬 [Post edited 14 Feb 17:40]

Thread | I keep getting robbed
at 17:27 1 Jan 2026
Can somebody help me with this
If I said that every couple of weeks having worked all morning I go to lunch leave the door open and when I come back I get robbed and it’s now happened 15 times in the last year you would probably have no sympathy and say I’m doing something wrong!!
Rangers keep having a goal scored against them with 10-15 minutes of the break and no one seems to be doing anything about it!!
Even TV pundits now comment on it and we have the worst record for goals conceded post break - why???
Can someone get the Verisure rep in to talk to them at half time ?!🤔🙄🤬 [Post edited 1 Jan 17:28]

Thread | Left back at the training ground
at 17:15 1 Nov 2025
Why Why Why!!
For the last three seasons we have been vulnerable at left back with away teams cutting in and no one tackles them allowing them to get to the 6 yard line and chip!?
I stand behind this game in game out and we ALL can see it yet no one af the club appears aware that we are vulnerable here and always down our left then centre then right!!
We also have the worst record over three seasons for goals conceded within 10 mins from break🤬 |

Thread | Dunne “Hard to out the finger in it!”
at 23:42 24 Aug 2025
Was anyone else frustrated by Jimmy’s interview when he kept saying we are all embarrassed but it’s hard to put the finger on it or why!!
No it is not hard at all Jimmy!
Certain players :-
give away the ball too easily
Don’t tackle
Don’t track back
Don’t see alternative options
Don’t dare try something different at free kicks
Don’t defend well
Don’t attack well
Don’t hit the target
And it’s been that way for too long!!
If we can see this why is it so hard to put a finger on it?!

Reply | Who was this disaster down to tonight....
at 01:40 13 Aug 2025
The answer to this question is not Nourry or Stephan but the prosecution cites Nardi, Kholi and Bennie and whatever they drink or take at half time,
Consider the evidence:
We are 2-0 up so doing something right.
It makes sense to rest Burrell and Sutton was a loose cannon lucky to still be on the pitch.
So half time changes make sense!
Then Plymouth start throwing in crosses, knowing Nardi NEVER comes for them to claim.
How many times did we see Preston's keepe reach up and pick out our crosses at the weekend. Not sure if Nardi is from Transylvania and related to Dracula but he doesn't like and cannot handle crosses, So Nardi lets one in, then the next and finally the third- all preventable.
At 2-1 we needed out people to hold the ball and yet Bennie and Kholi, who put us in the lead, now start forgetting basics. Offside Kholi, Offside Kholi, Miss by Kholi on 2-2, stupid flick by Bennie to no one ....why?
We keep conceding either side of half time - why? Last year we were the worst in the league for conceding within 15 minutes from the break!
We were never going to win the cup and seeing who can do what was an experiment (but an insult to the fans who travelled)
But for me, had Nardi been able to deal with the corner and the cross for the second goal, there would be no talk of Nourry or the manager!
We'd be praising the youngsters! |

Aside from those of you who will undoubtedly reply, he's no good 
is there any reason we are not looking to have Saito back??
I thought he posed a threat
Separately is it me or does it already seem that Dembele is going to be in sick bay for a lot of the season?

More goals than the other team
More shots on target than off target
No foul throws
Playing like it means something before we go 2-0 down
Decent refs
Pulling on a blue and white hooped shirt, knowing I'll never play for them but loving the team and the badge nonetheless
Not losing
and the back of Lesley's knees when I was 10!  |

I never felt he was any good with crosses and in the end, his legs gave way!
That said, Thank you Lucas you served us well on occasion and that is good enough for me! [Post edited 23 Jun 2025 19:02]
