[Libero]

team today is: Esson, Tokely, Cox, Hayes, Tansey, Foran, Tade, Golobart, G Shinnie, McKay and Gillet

4-4-2 perhaps?

[Caley Mad In Berks]

What has Andrew Shinnie done to warrant getting relegated to the bench?

[Scotty]

maybe he's carrying a niggling injury ? maybe he's the secret weapon ?

[+Feb82000]

as always your css codeing or html codeing does not work for the mfr radio link on a match day

[Granty24]

IF Shinnie has been dropped, I am furious he has been ahead of Foran. If he's carrying an injury then fair enough.

[starchief]

I think 4-2-3-1 that's worked so well for us in the past. Can't see Tade fitting into the 3, but then can't really see McKay in there either. Interesting.

[Scotty]

as always your css codeing or html codeing does not work for the mfr radio link on a match day

No coding, just the wrong link. fixed now.

[TopSix]

Five across the midfield? How are we lining up?

[qwerty11]

Gillet right back.

Bright start, Cox almost in

[Tug]

great save by ryan apparently

[qwerty11]

Stunning save from Esson from header

[TopSix]

Stunning save from Esson from header

And there was me saying during the week they should be giving Jonny Tuffey a start...

[starchief]

I think it might be a 4-3-3. with Foran, Cox and Tansey in midfield. It's a little more fluid upfront. Hayes on the right but Tade (on the left mainly) and McKay seem quite withdrawn, taking turns to be furthest forward. I don't know if that's Tade (probably) not being as disciplined or a deliberate ploy. Cox looking good and Foran's mind full on the game. G.Shinnie also playing well.

[Caley Mad In Berks]

On 'Final Score' Ryan's save has just been compared to that of Gordan Banks from Pele! Must have been a bit special. I'm already looking forward to the highlights.

[Scotty]

What has Andrew Shinnie done to warrant getting relegated to the bench?

IF Shinnie has been dropped, I am furious he has been ahead of Foran. If he's carrying an injury then fair enough.

Comment from my source at Ibrox ..... "(Andy) Shinnie got subbed after a knock last week and is still carrying a slight niggle, which is why he is on bench."

[starchief]

A.Shinnie couldn't do the (good) job Foran is doing either. I wouldn't have dropped Shinnie if not for injury but it would be for Tade. Foran is more of a straight left-sided midfielder with his fair share of defensive duties. Can't see A.Shinnie taking on that role. Maybe his brother could.

[qwerty11]

Yup Foran is doing a good job. Breaking up play and giving away some good fouls (if you know what I mean)

[mikeyrob73]

essons save was top drawer ! do think we should have had a penalty

Edited December 17, 2011 by mikeyrob73

[starchief]

Foran praised by Chick Young

(I know, I know)

[Tug]

dont mind sacrificing the girngos league points if the result comes out like this :P

[Scotty]

anyone confirm Gillet booked in first half ??? all the live stats sites (like SKY/ESPN etc) dont mention it, but sure I heard the commentators say it after a tackle in the first half.

[Haugh Aye]

Is that 2 penalties we should have had, according to commentators? Dream on!!

[Scotty]

Rangers seem to have moved up a gear ..... Tokely impressing the commentary team

[starchief]

Gillet was booked. Deservedly so.

Rangers a different team this half. And not in a good way for us.
