Scottish v English football

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

It would be a disaster if he was punted.

He's a cracking manager.

Aye right - as in he's in charge as the cracks widen in the Ibrox stands. And sorry Ally - but suggesting that press focus on Charlie Green's interest in returning to the club distracted his players - won't get a load of sympathy from wider Scottish football (though in truth it is rather unbelievable)

Rangers £10m share flotation failed miserably and Green suddenly appears clutching £10m.
Sounds like even more funny business going on.

Woooooosssshhhh!!

Certainly for one side of Glasgow :rofl:

Poor Ally.

One of the greatest ever goalscorers in Scottish football, fresh from back to back promotions, just lost first league match in 15 months and still derided by internet trolls purely because of their hatred for the club he played for and now manages.

Ally was a hero of mine back in the day when he played for Saints - and when he played for Scotland. Don't think his job is made any easier simply by the expectations of the fans. Rangers should be able to win the Scottish Championship - maybe not at a canter but surely at a trot - and maybe they will. In truth perhaps just a bit too much schadenfreude going around Scottish football these last few years - even if by some of the words and actions of both Glasgow clubs in the lead up to the debacle they part deserve some.

At last Rangers are facing some sort of challenge on the pitch (as well as off it but that much is a given!!) and it looks like it has come as a bit of a shock to them. Don't know why as Ally reminded them last week that they might not go the whole season unbeaten. :rofl:

Was McCoist cheered by Celtic fans when playing for Scotland ? He certainly seems to get a lot of stick

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I think taking his broke third division team for an overnight stay at Turnberry to rest up from the arduous journey from Glasgow to Stranraer showed what an astute manager Ally was.

You can add the fact that he's a snidey sleekit fud as well.:thup:

Nice wee win for Hearts against Hibs in Britain's most exciting league.
Joint leaders with Queen of the South and Raith Rovers

3 goals, 11 shots on target, 40 fouls and two sent off.........proper mens fitba.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Sounds like a real derby played with commitment and passion. My mate Fish will be miserable then as a Hibbie

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I think Hibs did well to instal Alan Stubbs as manager good long term bet.

I see Hearts have sold over 14,000 season tickets.
The club will soon be owned by the fans and I hope they get the success they deserve.

I watched the Falkirk v Rangers match the other night.
Poor result for Falkirk who bossed the game for 75 minutes and looked really good.
They lost a goal to a cruel deflection and it just knocked the stuffing right out of them.

Rangers were dreadful, sad to see a once great team playing such rubbish football.
Miller and Boyd were very poor both well past their sell by date.

Most competitive - perhaps (I've actually stated that!).
Most exciting - err, nope!

Which part of that sentence qualifies it as "proper" football ?

3 goals in the match today at Anfield - 12 shots on target - so it's the fouling and sending people off that makes it "proper"

Or is it because it's so poor they can't even tackle properly ?

Well I watched the Swansea backs pass the ball to each other for about 15 passes yesterday. No attempt by the ManU players to win the ball.
I can assure you that was sleep inducing.

That's called keeping possession of the football - one of the qualities of the game of football - as opposed to thumping it up field all day long.

Steady on Phill,
I am old enough to remember Crazy Horse and how he got his nickname.

Can add Tommy Smith and Souness to that

Yes a rugby tackle back in the 70's - doesn't make my point any less valid
