When all seemed lost!!

[Dono77]

Just thought I'd write about this. It's only a bit of fun but seeing as rangers fans we must all, well most of us will have experienced more lows than highs following our beloved club!

For me I've never forgotten the feeling when I left the millennium stadium after losing the play off final against Cardiff! Listening to the clowns in the jail next to the car park all cheering cos we got beat!

Other notable times of sheer despair include seeing Georges Santos play upfront when we were in need an equaliser in the holloway days, losing to Vauxhall motors in the cup!

I remember ringing bbc radio London after watching us lose 5 nil to southend in another cup game where I genuinely thought that some of the fans there that night could have stuck a pair of boots on and performed better than our lot!

Im sure im forgetting loads but does anyone else have a stand out memory where they thought "jesus can it get any worse than this?!!!"

Would love to see what you include in this list!

P.s mark hately and bob malcolm do not count!!!

Although great achievements in getting there with our greatest team-

Liverpool losing 1-0 with 15 to play and winning 3-1against team that needed to win to stay up.
Taking a 3 goal - clean sheet to AEK and Webbie having to take penalty with Juve waiting in the semis-
Though Juve blew AEK away, would still have been memorable for us.

Keegan sending a message to Norwich Stop Rangers and our letting Phil Boyer and co oblige
We had beaten so many better teams away.
Not forgetting Alan Mullery taking a 6-2 lead from Highbury to Partisan Belgrade and losing 4-0

One first half of the Ipswich match when we was either 2or3 goals down at h/t, that was one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen,

Norwich away 76 when we blew it & who can’t forget that, so gutted & #### journey home

yes I remember those jail pricks shouting out when we passed the prison, ######s & only good thing was getting drunk after that match which they couldn’t get

A 0-0 home game during Hartford’s reign I think against Wigan where the spine of the team was Ruddock , Vinnie Jones and Iain Dowie. I don’t think the ball touched the grass for 90 mins!!

Vauxhall Motors for me. Nothing gets close to how bad this one was.

[SheepRanger]

Every time we conceded late under Di Canio to lose points. It happened many many times! We could never see a game out and you knew it was coming.

Norwich !!!!
Oxford !!!!!

Oxford, milk cup final

Nothing phases me now I'm old. But, when I was younger......

I can't recall specific dates but cos I started going early 70s it took me quite a while to see us play piddly lower division teams like Watford, Brentford and Fulham. Before that I had seen us have a decent-ish record against Spurs, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea, ie the "big boys".

BUT, effing hell, when we finally started crossing swords with our less-illustrious neighbours we were pisspoor and hardly ever won - I found that hugely annoying, embarrassing and hard to swallow.

Sheff weds when we got promoted
Zamora at Wembley.

Beating the blue noses at home with heiders pen
Beating spurs , arsenal at home when we got back in the premier .

Low points I ain't got all night , but wouldn't change it for the world

The night v Oldham when furs scored was the loudest it's ever been at LR. I genuinely thought the ellerslie road stand was going to collapse!! No b***s**t!!

'We could see him hammering the dugout – he was wrecking anything he could get hold of': Chris Waddle reveals Jack Charlton’s rage at Newcastle United's second-half collapse against QPR

Jack Charlton only spent a year in charge of Newcastle United but he still left a serious impression on the players he worked with, not least a young Chris Waddle.

Alongside Peter Beardsley, Waddle was the club's star player as Charlton took over as manager in June 1984. The Magpies had just returned to the First Division and they survived comfortably, finishing the season in 14th place. There were some eventful matches along the way, including a frantic 5-5 draw with Queens Park Rangers.

In an interview for the December issue of FourFourTwo, Waddle recalled Charlton's furious reaction as Newcastle surrendered a four-goal lead at Loftus Road.

For me that was the mother of comebacks!!!!

Not far off the 4-4 game at port Vale. 4 nil down.
Then 4 goals in the second half!!! Remember it was live on Itv on a Sunday afternoon!

Obviously going into a Fergie run Man Utd away game before Dennis Bailey pops up to urinate on their French fries.

This brought back some memories the worst for me were obviously listening to the radio as Liverpool beat Wolves after we had thumped Leeds , I remember crying my eyes out and then the AEK Athens game on the radio losing on pens , my mum was doing a night class on cooking and came home with a moussaka which I refused to eat and stormed off to bed !!! The 2 crap finals Cardiff and Oxford after we had beaten the scousers in a great cup run , getting beat 5-0 at white hart lane with Clive Allen taking the #### in the back of the net until Steve Wicks chinned him
some the best were thumping Chelsea at home 6-0 with Johnny Byrne literally taking on the whole team to score !
Terry Fenwicks goal at Wembley in 82 standing in a river of #### zamorrraaaaa! , sheff weds for promotion with olly , my sons first game ! Ian Stewart’s goal at Highbury , Gary Waddocks goal at wet spam and Clive Allen’s goal in the semi final v West Brom but my abiding memory of watching my club is the way we play football, never saw Rodney play for us but seen some great entertainment Stan the man and Gerry Francis , Johnnie Byrne , Simon Stainrod, Roy wegerle and les and of course Adel , just hope we can unearth another true hero
