But you're still missing the point. Everyone wants to see their team win as many games as possible. Gretna have seldom come close to achieving this. The games they have the best chance of winning haven't been won and that is what is sealing their return to SFL1. Their season will be dictated by the results they gain against ICT, Falkirk etc. and they are results they haven't gotten yet and haven't even looked like getting. Their performances have been very poor and they haven't looked like a team that can win.

With all due respect to Bayne he isn't one of the greatest players the UK has ever produced.

USE YOUR MODERATOR SUPERPOWERS TO STOP THIS HAPPENING AND SAVE THE WORLD!!! :001:

Thanks TM4TJ. That is the key difference Jock. Regardless of our results against the OF we have easily taken care of Falkirk and Gretna. Gretna have struggled in the games they have to win if they want to stay up having lost twice to Falkirk, St. Mirren and of course getting thrashed by an ICT side barely out of 2nd gear.

I don't think that is the prupose of the thread.

This is worse than some of TinCanFans suggestions!

What about Cowie? He was captain at County but perhaps his length of time at ICT would go against him.

Who can we boo?

Apparently Rankin hasn't had a packet of crisps or a chocolate bar since he was 14. No idea if this is true or not but I was told this at the weekend.

Which would be the point I am getting at :004:

The more you post stuff like this the more I think you have to be on the wind up. And very bad wind ups at that.

Indeed and kudos to him for that decision. However, how often have his late subs turned a game for us and for United when he was there?

I see what you are saying but turning in a good performance against the OF counts for nothing if you don't get something out of it. Gretna didn't but, additionally, they can't win their bread and butter games against sides of "around their level" in the bottom half of the table. In fact in these games they have been torn apart by the lesser teams. It is results against the likes of us and Falkirk etc. that will shape their season not Rangers and Celtic. And currently they are being easily dispatched by ourselves and the rest. I don't hold out any hope for them whatsoever.

Performances count for hee haw at the end of the day. Fact is that they might have put in a good performance against Rangers/Celtic but they got no points from these games. Since then they have been thumped by ourselves, easily dispatched by Falkirk and St. Mirren somehow only scored once against them. When teams around them at the bottom of the table can soundly beat them putting up a decent fight against Rangers or Celtic counts for absolutely nothing.

Sounds like a pretty standard win for Rangers then. Some of the changes were quite foreseen to say the least! Hopefully we will have Cowie (at least) back for the next game. As others have said we aren't expected to get anything from these games so I wouldn't worry about it. However lets hope what ever wrongs that can be forgotten about in games against the Old Filth can be eradicated for games against Motherwell/Falkirk etc.

I like the look of IHEs team. Maybe stick McGuire in there instead of Proctor. TinCanFan - Hastings at right back? :017:

Which keepers ball sup was worse? Fraser or Zibis the other week? :015:

Defence shoddy. Lacking final penetration in the final third of the pitch. The phrase clutching at straws springs to mind. There was only one winner tonight. It was never going to be ICT sadly.

The Wyness Shuffle and myself are drunk! Both gutted! Several Coronas have not helped numb the pain of that result! Aberdeen just put away their chances. Our defence was shambolic. We never penetrated The Sheep in the final third and that was the telling sign of the game.

They weren't even good shots. Langfield barely broke sweat.

First pen was a stonewaller Second not so sure 3rd Aberdeen goal was all down to Fraser pissing about 4th goal was shambolic defending between Caff and Fraser when one should have cut out the crossed ball but left it to the other

Disgusting from ICT tonight. Not sure about the second penalty but that doesn't detract from the fact there was only going to be one winner tonight. Aberdeen didn't create much but they clinically put away the chances they had. We had a lot of the ball but no killer pass in the final third. Our defending was appalling and Fraser had a howler for the 3rd Aberdeen goal. Horrific stuff indeed and a game I want to forget ASAP :007: Long ball is rubbish and had NO effect whatsoever tonight :008:

I want us to play our full strength team and go for the win. None of this chopping and changing malarkey. Here is a fantastic chance to beat Aberdeen and get the chance to be in the Semi Finals of the CIS Cup. Sure it's not the most prestigious of the Cups but it's one where we have a **** good chance of getting to the final. I would be sorely disappointed if we didn't make the most of this chance to advance and thump Aberdeen in the process.

Fair do's. I shall cheer you on to victory. Should you win I expect one of the tickets! :001:
