Interesting piece.

The boy was hopeless.

Josh Windass summed it up perfectly on Soccer AM there.

He said that there's a lot of pressure playing for Rangers because it's great when there's 50 thousand people shouting for you but when things are going badly and the fans are on your back, that's when the good players show themselves.

If the boy can't take the pressure of being a professional footballer, he should jack it in and get a real job.

If other players are keeping you out the game, it tells me you are not doing enough either at training or on the pitch at a game. Its up to the player to work harder and achieve, not to sulk back into a corner and hide away.

The boy was hopeless.

Him being hopeless is one thing and I doubt many would disagree with you, but the comments about the "toxic" atmosphere and the abuse aimed at the current players has to be a concern. No idea how you deal with it either. There is no way to quickly get rid of this problem.

We are in a situation where we need players who are above the quality that we currently have to take us to the level above where we currently are. How are we going to attract players like that when one foot wrong and they will be subjected to a torrent of abuse?

We are supposed to be supporters, this is not support.

For a start, our supporters are no different to supporters all over the country. Our reactions are determined by the team's performances.

I'm not a supporter in the sense that I'll go along and watch any old sh!te that United offer up. Some people reckon you should follow your team through thick and thin but blind loyalty isn't my bag. I'm not paying hundreds of pounds a year to watch a manager that can't manage and players that can't do the basics or take a bit of deserved criticism. And to say "How are we going to attract players like that when one foot wrong and they will be subjected to a torrent of abuse?" - Players don't get abuse for putting one foot wrong. They get abuse for serving up mince week in, week out.

The superfans will go week in week out despite the product on the park but if you want to keep the home end figures over 2000, it's people like me that the club need to try and attract to games.

Characterless players like Donaldson won't get me through the gates.
