It’s not the fact we lost to Aberdeen, it’s the reports from those who were there that it was four going on ten, and we were down and out in under thirty minutes. My memory of the last time up there was that we were competitive, and until Stelios made a Stelios of it, we were still making it a contest. Yesterday apparently was no contest. That’s what worries me, that it looks like we have regressed to the point where we cannot go to places like Ibrox or Pittodrie and even stay in it as a contest and it’s not even half time.
Expecting Stubbs to have a team capable of going to Ibrox or Pittodrie and turning them over is one thing. Expecting us to be able to make a game of it is another. Stubbs isn’t in this alone. Start earning your wages, Rice and Jackson.

One word for today's display. Embarrassing! Sorry I've seen enough from Stubbs to know he's way out his depth. A left back who can't defend (not his fault as he's said he's not a left back), a centre back who runs like he's got a  HGV tyre on his back, a goalkeeper who will cost a goal every second game, a £75000 centre back who is now apparently fourth choice,  Cooke and King another 2 signings who can't get a game,  3 senior pro's told they are not good enough and to look for another club (really!! is he watching who is playing in front of them)  I said after the Dundee game if we went with that back four we would be relegated by Christmas. The rest of the team seem to be joining in!! Stephen Mcginn was almost anonymous today and so many others playing out of position.
Do not get me wrong I did expect to lose the game today but not with  no shape, no fight, no skill no nothing really. 4-0 flattered us. They created their first chance in 6 seconds and it could easily have been 8,9 or 10. Desperate times guys. Anyone who can take anything positive from today is delusional.
What we do about it with  a 3 year contract I have no idea. It'll take a miracle to turn this round.

Just back from the game, that was painful. 
4-0 going on 10-0. Seriously, if it was 10 it would have been merited. 
The shape was difficult to work out at times and what I couldn’t grasp is why Willock was frequently in a more advanced position than Cammy Smith. This was baffling and it wasn’t just when we had the ball but when we were on the back foot. 
What does Stubbs think will be positive about this? I’ve no idea. 
We need a few signings to get balance right. If Eck isn’t going to feature we really need a left back. 
Looks like he’s trying to accommodate what you would think are our best players but unfortunately they can’t all fit into this line up. If we’re going with a big target man then it’s Cammy or Mullen playing just off him. Don’t waste one out wide. Playing wide players out wide and someone needs to fight for their place IMO. 
The defence ! I’m not going to go there or I’ll miss the boxing. 
We need to improve quickly. 
Time for a beer. 

If anybody really thought we could threaten any of the top 6 this season they are seriously delusional.
The talk about competing today is a fair point, but Aberdeen will take 4 goals off quite a few teams this season, especially at home.
I've thought that the top 6, who are, in no particular order, Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs & Kilmarnock, are streets ahead of the rest, and will hand out many a thumping to the other teams in the league.
Our survival depends, mainly, on what we do against the other diddy teams.
We've already beaten one, next week we have the chance to beat another. 
The level of panic after today, not a surprise as the usual suspects have been waiting on any opportunity to blame the manager since he was appointed, is amusing.
This season was always going to be tough, even if Ross was still here.
The club need the support they got last season, always easier to "support" when we're winning, for some.
We looked today what we are, a team who've just come up from the diddy league and are still in transition.
Can we survive, who knows, but the club deserve support as it's well documented the difference that made last season. 
 

Just back from a great day out in Aberdeen, well until the football started. Had my breakfast (beef, chilli and dark chocolate links from Ramsey’s of Carluke) got the Chivas travel club bus ( great bunch of guys and girls) stopped off for 2 hours in Stonehaven, lovely beer in the Marine hotel ( 6 degrees north) ....I digress 
 
Main points : 
stmirren were under the cosh from the start, could have been 3 nil down within 10 mins.
looked well of Aberdeen pace.
3rd goal was goalie error 
4th goal pen was Coulson tackle (soft) 
QPR CB replaced after 5 mins of second half (not injured) 
2nd half we were slightly less fragile looking than the first half.
Questions raised from today’s game:
Do we have too many loanees who have nothing really to prove?
Are Rangers and Aberdeen away the games we should base our forcast on our form for the season ahead or should it be the games against Livi, Hamilton, Motherwell etc ? 
I am away to bed, got 10k to run tomorrow morning

The signing Stubbs was raving about was Coulson and he was torn apart today. So how are the other signings going to fare? Heaton was given the runaround by an amateur at Queens Park so he is not going to be the new defensive Messiah anytime soon. And Cammy is one of our very few good players yet is played where he is largely ineffective. I want to give all the players a chance but they are young and need help and we quickly need to sign some players that have been around a bit and not rookies. And Stubbs needs to play players to their strengths and not just fill a jersey.

Bullock against Hearts , Corcoran against Motherwell. 
Good enough reason as any.

It's the way it's been constructed. 
Makes for a great atmosphere. 
Our Caley Stand was very steep. 

All non North Stand match tickets should be made available to season ticket holders only. 
Sell them at a heavily reduced price, fill the place with Saints fans or friends of Saints fans who are not of the bigot persuasion. 
North Stand only for them. 

The banner was a "Get it up ye" to the home fans.They had spent a lot of time and money for their own display,the content of which was meant to be secret.The content was leaked and the W7 boys took advantage of this......an open goal for some fun.
That picture is world wide now.A lot of people,myself included,like having a look at fan pictures,stadiums,tifos etc.There'll be people all over saying to their mates "Did you see the rangers pictures" while laughing into their pints.
The fans of the other 40 Scottish Clubs have enjoyed it,Twitter was full of it and the W7 boys were being held in high esteem.
Well done Lads.....you played a blinder.
PS.
The bottle would have been thrown....banner or not.
There was nothing offensive about the banner.The only people who could take umbrage to it are the Glesga Tourist Board.Hope GLS disnae hit the boys with a Cum oan,Get aff message.
