Dunno what's more hilarious. A deadline in early May, or Jig thinking he'll be playing in Europe. Not sure why anyone would get involved with a finance company to spread payments, when it's cheaper to buy single tickets. If this was any other business, other than football, it would be bankrupt within a year. It's quite clear they have no further investment lined up, and they are about reject King.

Wish I could find the thread where I said books would be on sale before the 120 day shite was up, and was roundly booed. They must think we zip up the back.
-
Aye, and where does it get them? 30 points minimum behind us in the league. There's a big difference to making us look shite, and taking points off us. If we played more of a passing game, and maybe lost 4/5 league games, Ally would probably already be gone. People wouldn't be saying he should stay because we're passing it about nicely.

While I agree that there is many an ex player that you describe, I don't think Ally is one of them. He served a solid apprenticeship under Walter, both for Scotland, and Rangers. Whatever your opinion on Walter, he knew how to deliver trophies, especially league ones. I do think your average ex-pro has a better idea about professional football than your average punter. It's much easier to manage Rangers from the comfort of a forum, than it is facing the reality of the job. Having played in our 9IAR row teams, do you honestly think Ally can't see how shite we are? This is what you get when you spend less than a million in transfer fees in the space of 2 years. Journeymen footballers, who are just not very good, or entertaining to watch. No amount of tactical nous in the world is going to make them better players, who look like they couldn't care less. The board must be loving the hysteria for taking the heat off them for a week, which ironically, they and their predecessors have created.
-
lol. We can debate all day about which one of us is the most clueless. The only thing for sure is, Ally has forgotten more about professional football than either of the two of us will ever know. Both as a player, as an assistant manager, and now as a manager. I agree that the football is absolutely dire to watch. I just disagree about how we got in this position, and what we can do about it.

Please don't continue this conversation. I'm bored trying to educate you about football.

I don't remember an incident that would get Wallace injured on Sunday. Perhaps he's been carrying a niggle for a while. He certainly doesn't seem like a player to down tools for any reason. I have a theory that more than a few of the players are just going through the motions since the pay reduction fiasco, but I don't think Wallace would be one of them. All these niggling injuries to our better players have shown how weak our squad really is. A club of our size shouldn't have a single player on the park that isn't 100% fit.

He's becoming an experienced manager. He has a decent record against them. He stopped them winning the league at Ibrox. He's had the worst financial backing of any Rangers manager for decades. He's had to cope with our worst boardroom/s ever. He's still unbeaten over 90 minutes this season. A decent record no matter who the opposition. He knows all the words to the Sash. He has reasonably white teeth. He played a part in ridding the club of Green. No one else in their right mind would currently take the job on. (mercenary aside) Giving proper backing, I still think he can do a job for us. He learned from the master, and has a good knowledge of the Scottish game. He's good at karaoke.

How much? For a game of golf? Loonies.
-
You post as though you started following us through the 9IAR years. I can assure you, before that we were just as dire.
-
I know you're no fan of Ally, but hoping an ex-tarrier humiliates him, and in the process knocks us out is beyond the fucking pale. Even for you.

The football played under Souness, Walter(first stint), and Advocaat, was possible because we had mainly foreign players of a vastly superior quality to the opposition. Those days are gone, and will likely never return. Scotland doesn't produce footballers anymore. The problem is at grass roots level. By the time Ally gets his hands on them, it's too late. His only option is to play route one, percentage football. Have you ever been at Ibrox when we're one down, and we play a backwards pass or try keep possession in our own half? You have to look around to see if there's been a murder, such is the disdain shown by the support. " get it fucking forward Rangers", "Stop fucking about with it". All popular cries whenever we try and string 3 or 4 passes together in a non-threatening area. Trophies are everything to our support, decent football comes a distant second. If one our many clear cut chances went in yesterday, this thread wouldn't even exist. I'm no Ally defender, but I can see it for what it is. A shite state of affairs, that Ally only has so much control over. When he gets pumped and replaced by Billy Davies, or some other low achiever that some of you seem to crave, perhaps you will get my point.
-
Which part of that sentence did you not understand? You say the football we play has been awful since the days of Walter, and yet, even including the previous 2 season, we are the most successful club in recent times, trophy-wise. The style needed to win in Scotland, doesn't travel well in Europe. Even when we had the Gascgoines, and Laudrups, we often had our limitations exposed in Europe. PLG being chased out the door after a few months shows that our support has no patience for any style that doesn't produce domestic success. We are in effect, victims of our geography. You disliked Walter, now Ally. I hardly think you will like any new manager who has to deliver the success that we crave. You're living in a dream world if you think any other style of play delivers trophies in the way that we have. Celtic have often had better footballing teams than us, and ended a season with f*ck all. It doesn't work in Scotland.
-
I think you mean' suitable only for Scotland', considering we're the most successful club in this country. I suppose it's Ally's fault that route one, unimaginative football, is the best way to win trophies in our country? I don't personally think that Ally is a very good manager, but I'm sure there is no one else out there that we can afford, that would do much better under the same circumstances. Assuming all things remain the same at our club, a new man would be lucky to last 6 months before he cracked and said 'fuck this'. It may sound like I'm defending Ally, but our club is a total basket case, from top to bottom. Our already poor squad is walking wounded/running on empty. The problems we should be worried about run much deeper than having a poor manager and coaches.

Anyone that buys a book before the 120 day review is published needs their head looked at, but then again, anyone expecting anything meaningful in this review is probably an optimistic kind of chap anyway.

FFS, is the game on BBC Alba?

SOS - George Angus has been escorted from the building today?

Agreed. If he was caught with his hand in the till, he would surely have been thrown down the marble stairs. -
I note that my question, 'where's the f*cking money' was ignored. Not even a blaming on the previous board. It better be in the phase 2 results.

I said ******** bb54. Surprised it's on the banned list, it's no even a sweary word. It rhymes with Shettleston harriers if that helps.

TheTinMan99 replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
Pay a membership fee to join a forum where you must praise the board? Is that what I just read? This is the third pile of pish he's written since he said he was taking a break from, erm, writing pish. -
He is, and his foot does look at a weird angle. Not surprised JIg went in hard with 2 ******** bearing down on him. Disappointed he never took them both out.

Beram Kayal accuses Lee McCulloch of deliberately crocking him
TheTinMan99 replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
It was kinda a 50/50 ball, but Jig did go over the top a bit. I think that game was during Jig's midfield maestro stage..*shudder* -
I meant no harm. I wouldn't have said it if I thought STB would've taken it personally, and he obviously hasn't. I actually think he would be a decent poster, if he could figure a way out of the hole he's dug for himself, with his unstinting support for literally everything our boards, past and present do/say. As a vocal opponent of David Murray, I don't understand why he doesn't hold the present incumbents to the same level of scrutiny.

The football on show is a reflection of the seemingly endless supply of incompetent boards. You dislike the football, but you're happy to wait another year for investment, that will improve the football. Sometime you just make zero sense. I don't usually resort to petty name-calling, but I've been wanting to call you EDIT by craig : you should know better than to engage in personal insults, not just on this thread. It's out my system now:brick:
