see to be honest again I couldn’t care less what you think . I have condemned the bench incident at the time and still do just now as I do any sort of needless vandalism . 
 

all I done was point out that no war memorial was vandalised as poster originally pointed out at the beginning of this mind numbing debate 

 

If you really don't care you wouldn't feel the need to point out all you done.

Haha, get the fishing rod away.

You don’t think that if Gerrard was so concerned about Patterson’s probable Scotland career he should have allowed him a few games before the end of the season? That would have happened if Rangers hadn’t appealed the suspensions, which were always going to be implemented.

Hoping you would see sense in how pointless your argument is 

but it didn’t work 

c’est la vie

Only reason I can think Morelos was subbed was he was on a booking and seemed in one of they moods. But the way the game was planning out I would have still risked keeping him on 

Saving him for the semi.

Patterson probably got more game time due to it as it coincided with Taverniers injury. Now Tavernier is fit again, Patterson would’ve likely seen less game time in the coming weeks anyway.

Patterson might be a better option as your penalty taker?

Having a guy that’s now missed 8 penalties in c. 2 years was a strange decision to take your first penalty in an important shoot-out that’s for sure.

You have to put that into context as they get at least 700 a season.

Is Patterson just being sent to the pub for the next three weeks?

Yes, but surely you don’t put a guy with a questionable penalty record into the position where he’s taking such an important spot kick ??

Tavernier has scored 29 penalties and missed 8 in his career.

29/37 = 78% conversion rate

Average penalty conversion rate for penalty takers (so not including shoot outs) = 78%

[Dons_1988]

Confirmation that 'Tav' is distinctly average.

Impressive, a penalty in every game for a full season.

This time next year he'll maybe be suspended. Gutting.

Scotland really need to get Patterson in the squad and playing ASAP before England, France or Germany start to look for relatives of his from their own country.

Interesting as that’s a better % than both Defoe and Barisic over their careers who both scored.

Clearly an issue with mentality/bottle then is what you are suggesting ??

I’m suggesting it’s an issue with people not really understanding how often penalties are scored

It’s absolutely a mentality issue. Performance in the cup competitions should tell them that and why anyone making comparisons to Brendan Rodgers team are significantly wide of the mark. Big pressure moments particularly in domestic knockout competitions there seems to be something that stops them progressing. In Europe they do better but is that because the weight of expectation on the players is less?

I’ve seen comments made about how the league is priority and cups come 2nd to Europe. That’s a small club mindset and successful and dominant teams just want to win and when they don’t they care, they care a lot. Just look at Peps City, to many they see the Carabao as the diddy cup to him it’s a meaningful trophy which helps their players retain that winning mentality and why he takes it seriously.

Yes Rangers have won the league at a canter but it’s still 1 trophy out of 9 so when they hysteria dies down after trophy day and they reflect back is just the 1 trophy good enough?

It’s clearly not a mentality issue. Mentality issues among professional footballers are extremely rare and would likely result in players being unable to succeed as professional footballers. Every study ever conducted has found that “bottle” simply doesn’t exist in football. It’s pseudoscience.

Its also very funny to use Man City as an example of a team that prioritise the cups. Man City of course have famously underachieved in Europe and its well known that the CL is the trophy they’ve been after for years. They’ve also treated the cups with such respect that Ederson hasn’t played a single minute in one this year.

Cups are fine and it’s nice to win them, but if you don’t and you win the league then they simply don’t matter. Our 07/08 quadruple season is regarded as ending in failure and we won both cups.

This season was the league title that mattered the most, the generational title that will be talked about for years. Celtics team of proven winners completely crumbled and Rangers are yet to be beaten. How’s that for the mentality narrative?
