I have often complained on here about O.F fans sitting amongst the home fans when we play them up here, but I found myself in a role reversal situation on Wednesday night.
As many of you know I work with adults and children who have disabilities and the man i work with full time is Rangers daft, but had never been to Ibrox to see his team. So i managed to source a couple of spare season tickets at Ibrox from an accquaintance and found myself sat amongst the Rangers fans.
I sat on my hands for the entire 90 mins and had to everything in my power to stop myself leaping about when the penalty was scored!! In fact I made sure we waited till EVERY home fan had left the stadium before I was able to show my true emotions!!
It was very strange watching the game amongst opposition fans. I found that I viewed our performance through much less euphoric or expectant eyes than normal.
I thought we put in a very poor performance, but the fact that Rangers couldn't beat us makes the victory all the sweeter!
I thought our Mom was Esson, even though he started out very shakily. I thought Munro was very poor, with the exception of his goal line clearance. I thought Black was very subdued till stoppage time of course and I applaud his composure and belief to take the penalty, but his passing was poor throughout the game. Russell Duncan was terrible. How he manages to get a game is beyond me. He cant pass or shoot and to see him cost us possession time and time again was sooo frustrating. To see a professional footballer making such mistakes is embarrassing at times. His throw in that cost us possession when we were deep in Rnagers half was cringeworthy. He tried to take a quick throw and took it from so far behind the touchline that the ball bounced before it had actually entered the field of play and they ref gave the throw to them.
I was very impressed with the rest of the defence. Lionel looks so full of confidence and he was one touch from being clear through on the rangers goal.
A very attack minded team selection from butcher although morais clearly isnt fit and i thought rooney was very poor. I lost count of the number of times he lost out when challenging for headers and his first touch was poor. I believe he's better as a sub and given the last 30 mins to build confidence. Imrie looked well up for it when he came on and had one glorious pass which came closest to troubling the home defence.
I also fail to see what proctor offers to the team. Apart from winning penalties of course!
Anyway, i hope this doesn't sound over critical but it was just how i saw it. What a tremendous result and here's hoping its onward and upwards from here on in.
Actually looking forward to going to Caledonian stadium these days!!!
