Right now, I'm in Japan. I was matching the match in a British bar with some people I met. In the end, great match, so angry and frustrated but jumping for joy at the end.
Don't even get me started on the first goal. First off, Bougherra should never have let him slip by, he was in acres of space. Secondly, neither Papac nor Bougherra could get anywhere near the ball. They lept in and paid the price. Allan McGregor... I'm a massive fan of his, I think he's a great keeper and a real gem for Rangers, and Scotland. However, anyone watching the match must surely have been thinking, what, the, ****. Before Skacel was anywhere near finishing, he'd jumped in the air arms and legs flailing in completely the wrong direction, leaving an open goal for Skacel!! I was going mental. The goal had come from nowhere after we'd easily dominated up until that point, although we were unable to break through the 8 men Hearts had behind the ball. Around the 40th minute or so Jefferies said that they were defending too much and we would get another goal leaving them in a bad situation. Nothing changed, as they continued to defend with 8 men behind the ball. We couldn't break them down, and weren't playing good. Weiss didn't have the best of games, he would very often lose the ball tyring to do silly tricks, which would hold up play and ruin chances. The way the Hearts players acted, I thought, was atrocious. Little taps, and they would be on the floor, wasting as much time as possible from about 60 mins onward. Jelavic looked shaken up after a nast tackle against him. The substitue was just what we needed, and Lafferty's free-kick was sublime. A well deserved goal. After that it was all Rangers, until another magnificent individual effort from Naismith gave us the win.
I think the players look really fit, and Naismith is playing great as is Miller, even if he didn't score, and Weiss who I think will really shine although having a bad game today. I do believe we're going to go all the way this season.

Oh just **** off will you. I like Man Utd but *****'s like you just do my head in. Fact is we drew 0-0. We did enough to earn that whether it was fair or not, statistics mean nothing, still a point a piece. Just because you were lucky enough to come from the place where one of the best football clubs ever are from doesn't give you the right to slag off other clubs.
