City, State/Country – Last Saturday, e be like say the fans of Rangers fit don tire for the way their team dey perform as dem still no fit win any home league match dis season. Na only one match dem don win among eight wey dem play for the Premiership! Chai!
As the match dey go, plenty banners show for the Ibrox ground from frustrated fans wey talk say, “No more buses to hide on. No more managers to hide behind. Face your failures like men.” Na dem players now go bear the brunt of the fans’ vex, no be small wahala o!
This match na first time former player Steven Smith dey manage dem, but abeg, e no easy. E talk say, “People go ask me, ‘Did I enjoy today?’ I no fit enjoy am because I sabi wetin dem expect from me – is to win. I dey disappointed we no fit do am.” (Na serious pepe wey him dey chop)
Dem Rangers fans still see say their players put serious effort for first half; e be like say dem carry like 23 shots! Na Thelo Aasgaard carry the first goal, and e sweet die. But as United coach Jim Goodwin change tactics and players begin push forward, na so dem Rangers start to shake like jello.
Kristijan Trapanovski pull one low shot wey enter, and before dem blink, Craig Sibbald don add another goal! E be like say Rangers fans don become contractors for heart attack. But, di captain, Tavernier, come show small hope as e score late goal wey bring dem back to equalizer. But wetin dem do for second half? Na wah! Dem no fit even touch ball inside the United box as before.
Smith run mouth talk say: “Consistency no just happen Saturday to Saturday. Na everyday matter.” (Somebody don ready to give lecture, abi?) E continue to caution say when things dey tough, players supposed dey gel together and match di aggression from opposing side.
Meanwhile, Jim Goodwin, di manager of Dundee United, dey warn people say Rangers dey in a “false position” for di table. E believe say dem get quality players wey fit turn di table anytime. E even remind us of how Hibs wey dey bottom of di table for last year turn their season around. So, if dem fans fit just calm down, e fit get better.
But with all dat wahala, wetin be the solution? Fans don dey talk say there no real leader for di club. Ex-striker Billy Dodds no gree talk sweet things about di leadership saying, “Aber there’s no standout leader despite say we get captain and vice-captain. Club management gatz find strong leader wey fit lead dis team.” (As e talk am, nah real talk be dis o)
Anyway, wetin we go see next? While Rangers dey struggle, United dey try maintain their fortitude for league and avoid dem self-sabotage. Una fit bet say na turn-up time for dem fans as dem obodo team need am now more than ever. Na dem strong backing from supporters fit change this story! Who know, maybe next match go bring better news? Na so e be for football sometimes – one minute you dey cry, next minute you dey rejoice.
