I don’t think the Yankees are turning this series around 😬 Toronto are going to take some stopping for the whole thing.

If we are going down the revisionist path I dare say multiple trophy winner Alex McLeish is better qualified and informed about what needs to be done to fix this team than Gerrard.

Steven Gerrard in frame for Rangers return after Russell Martin is sacked

* Martin dismissed after fans surround team bus at Falkirk * Former Ibrox manager under strong consideration Steven Gerrard is under strong consideration for a return to Rangers after the Scottish club confirmed the sacking of Russell Martin. Martin’s ill-fated Ibrox tenure ended with the manager leaving the Falkirk Stadium via a side door and a waiting car after a 1-1 draw which left Rangers 11 points from the summit of Scotland’s top flight after just seven games. Furious fans had surrounded the Rangers team bus in Falkirk. Continue reading...

I wouldn’t bet against another Rangers manager being removed before May. The squad is the weakest since we came back up and two of the main people responsible for that will be heavily involved with the next appointment. A window that bad can’t be fixed in January.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 3d

Martin can’t have any complaints. There is literally nothing in these first few months to indicate things would improve. As much as he should have been removed weeks ago, the personal abuse directed towards a Rangers manager was a disgrace from some of the same fans who will talk about ‘standards’

A good move for the goal from Cornelius and Miovski but this has been a turgid watch again. Second to everything for almost the entire first half which shows big issues with desire and commitment in this Rangers squad.

As somebody me who has championed Joe for as long as I remember I can’t disagree with any of this.

I really didn’t expect that as a PPV main event at this point. I loved how he seamlessly switched his intensity level from 70 up to 100 this week and just jumped through the screen.

Cam Schlittler, take a bow! 👏

In his postseason debut, the Yankees rookie is the first pitcher in MLB history to have 12+ strikeouts in a winner-take-all postseason game.

Cam Schlittler was a joy to watch. Incredible showing for a 24 year old rookie to step in there with the whole season on the line and do that with that crowd. Early looked really good for Boston as well before it fell apart in the 4th.

Banners, chanting and protests haven’t worked. Forcing management change comes through boycotting games and merchandise. The only language the owners will understand.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 6d

Probably deserved the draw on the second half showing but it’s just another nail in Martin’s coffin with the fans. The first half was too familiar this season.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 6d

Graz are all over the place and rattled at the moment when we go forward. We should be winning this never mind chasing a draw.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 6d

It goes back to my earlier point about players in forward positions playing like individuals rather than a lot of familiar link up play. Have to give the manager credit for changing it as we look a much better side this half so far with Miovski and Aarons.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 6d

Tremendous goal from Gassama. Really direct play.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 6d

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Rangers team that look like a bunch of individuals thrown together rather than any kind of coached cohesive unit. The link up play in forward areas is woeful and a big part of our lack of chance creation.

Terrible start yet again from horrendous defending. Graz do not look anything special. No wonder Ally is raging.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 7d

I’ve noticed Joe has been getting consistently great reactions from the live crowds since he came back in January. I’m not sure what his injury situation is but I’d love to see him working singles again with the likes of Fletcher as part of his development. I hope he still has a few good years left.

Tension was gone for about 5 minutes for the Cleveland crowd there! #MLBPostseason

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 23d

I think we’ll see some form of large protest outside the front doors on Saturday before the game with the later kick off and new ownership in attendance. Future ticket uptake will be interesting as this is the bottom line they will be looking at even if the are determined to give Martin time.

I enjoyed his work in AEW and wouldn’t mind seeing him as a regular Collision cowboy. That does sound like he could be more trouble than he is worth at this point.

You could almost feel sorry for Martin getting that type of reaction from the crowd and fan media if he wasn’t going to get a massive pay out for less than six months of work.

deanjr.bsky.social @deanjr.bsky.social · 25d

I’d like to think I’m not the knee-jerk ‘sack the manager’ type after a run of bad results but there is literally nothing to suggest Martin has made any improvements or will turn this around. It’s just as important that Thelwell carries the can for this window as Martin does. Both should be gone.

This weekend marks 37 years since the ball fell to Ray Wilkins at Ibrox, and he did this.

What a marvellous player he was.

It was good to see Evil back at his best for those last fifteen minutes after the HoT stuff was done. I’ve no problem with Takeshita winning if it leads to Tsuji at the dome main event. Tournament was definitely hurt by the loss of Kidd but a really enjoyable one overall.

The intensity of both the playoff matches was really ramped up a notch or two today. All four guys were at the top of their game.
