sounds like McManus sold the shirts. Another miserable cup year, with the only highlight being (hopefully) top-flight survival. Any bids for Moult/Cadden will be a lot harder to turn down now.

A lot of football to be played yet if we are to retain our top flight status. I don't think today's result, disappointing as it was, will influence our transfer dealings in any way. Very few would have expected us to achieve anything today.Originally Posted by Handsome_Devil

Our manager obviously didn't expect us to achieve anything today by the way he set out the team.Yes we got to halftime 0-0 but what would have been his plan B if Rangers had scored early,probably throw McDonald on,so why not do that in the first place and have a go at a very average opposition.Basically he bottled it and rather have a go and maybe end up getting a doing he decides to stifle the game get everyone behind the ball,giving no one the option of an out ball and we still lost.IMO it's more to do with McGhee's own ego and credibility than anything to do about the team.Agree there is no excuse for McManus's pass leading to their second goal but at least if you have pushed the defence further up the park and the same thing was to happen you have a better chance of recovering the situation.Dread to think what our tactics will be next Saturday can't sit through another backs to he wall and hope for a break.PLEASE McGhee have a right go at this average opposition

and thats what wrong we are all so utterly programmed to expect and accept utter ****e like that.. thats what will ultimately see our demise. No one at the club ever gets angry or raises the expectations above "oh well we were never expected to win"

Worth remembering that even under Baraclough (widely praised for having a go at Ibrox) we scarcely got out our own box until we scored a jammy deflection.
The end justifies the means and if we'd got our result today McGhee would rightly have got plaudits. Instead he (rightly) gets questioned but it's a fine line.

What a stupid statement. We didn't get the result, so his master plan was a complete and utter failure. If you think he deserved 'plaudits' for that garbage, pour your self another strong drink and crack on. It was dross. End of.

You fail to read the word "if" there, aye?

times like this thoughts of players being on the take for throwing a game away come to mind.

Ok if, our tactics were not so negative, if we had a go in the first half, if we had not played Chalmers, Clay and Hamel, if we had tried to win a cup tie, if our manager wasn't so utterly predictable, if his signings were not so poor, if we hadn't given McManus another contract, if we had a club that wanted to achieve something other than make some money....enough ifs?
One more. If we have enough supports that are willing to continue to pay for this garbage?
If we are all ****ing scunnered with this **** every year in the cup?
