Anchorman 0 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ally please give it a rest FFS. Take note. This was when we were at the top fighting tooth and nail with that mob. Losing at Easter Road could have been fatal. It was the day that my favourite Ranger, Brian Laudrup, showed what it meant to him. He could easily have stayed in his sick bed. Four fit players - yet not one complaint! That is what Rangers are about. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/flu-hit-rangers-draw-more-strength-from-vital-victory-at-easter-road-hibs-pay-the-penalty-for-defying-duffy-s-orders-1.419068 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Not that it was an advisable thing to say, but it seems to me that it was just a sort of throwaway, tongue-in-cheek comment from Ally based on the fact that due to injury and suspension he'll be without several players who've been getting a start. Not really anything to get worked up about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really anything to get worked up about. I think Ally is cleverer than that to be honest. He knows exactly what he is doing. No coincidence that we are almost in the middle of a transfer window! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence that we are almost in the middle of a transfer window! Absolutely and I thought the same, but it's also a bit too obvious, so either it wasn't very clever or it was just a throwaway response to a question. I suspect it's the latter given that such a large percentage of his comments are throwaway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's the latter given that such a large percentage of his comments are throwaway. Zappa, I tried to look at it from an open mind. I think in Ally's position you are always aiming a statement like that at someone . e.g. the fans, the board, your enemies, your players. And whatever way I looked at it I couldn't see what it achieved other than attracting negative sarcasm or worse. I think if it was a throw away remark (which I don't think he does) it was a bit stupid. It doesn't fit with the image I believe Rangers fans want to get behind - We've done our time and you'd better watch out - we're coming to get you! It sends out - "We're coming to get you - oh shit I've ripped a tight". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 With a squad of 30/32 players and say 7 out through injury and suspension it's just a stupid thing to say; trying to be funny and failing miserably. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I an Ally fan, but this is not the first time he has made this remark. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The handwringing going on to defend the indefensible is tragic. When is the penny finally going to drop with you that posters on this forum give their views and, if you disagree, you say why? This kind of 'RangersMedia insult post' is nothing but a waste of bandwidth. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 0 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It looks.like he doesn't believe we have enough players after us not filling the bench yesterday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It looks.like he doesn't believe we have enough players after us not filling the bench yesterday. Our squad is over 30 men deep. This was his way of telling the board he wants more tools to do his job. Paul Ince also done it with Blackpool at the weekend. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
