The Real PapaBear 0 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I feel sorry that leggat is associated with Rangers. What a rancid little man he is! Who gives a toss if Stein was a womaniser or a gambler? I mean, seriously. Is there any one in this forum that feels they can start pointing fingers at the 'moral' behaviour or misbehaviour of others? He was Scotland's finest ever manager - Ferguson included imho - in charge of Scotland's finest ever team. Let's get over it. After all, we're proving right now who Scotland's finest ever fans are; we don't need to have anything to do with gutter writing like this.

Seems like he's deliberately trolling. Having said that, I hope Tommo is paying attention to the fact that Leggat's radio slot got pulled due to Timmy's ire. Threatening behaviour?

Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Poor poor poor. Is this not the low level crap we have heard from them over the last few years. So big Jock liked a flutter and the ladies. Who cares? What has this got to do with Rangers? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your second paragraph, but what utter tosh your last paragraph is. While it is clearly a matter for debate and you have the right to believe what you like about Stein's managerial abilities, there can be very little argument made to try to compare Stein with Struth, who in the pre-European stage built teams that won numerous titles and cups. Ferguson with his 2 Euro Cups, 2 CWC, 2 Super Cups, Intercontinental, World Club cup, 16 domestic titles and 14 domestic cups is also miles ahead of Stein's trophy haul. It is worth remembering that Stein was not very successful at any of his other clubs or the Scotland job. His only trophy outside celtic was the Scottish cup win with Dunfermilne in 1961, so that is hardly the stuff of legend. His Scotland career is also very mixed. Qualifying for the 1982 WC was the obvious highlight, but the failure to get through the group was poor, as was his attempts to qualify for the 1980 Euros (4th out of 5 in the group) or the 1984 Euros (bottom of 4 team group). As for his record in the home internationals, 1 win and 2 bottom places in 6 attempts is hardly anything to write about either. The argument can be easily made that Stein steered a very good group of players at celtic during his tenure, not that he was the important factor in it. Best Scottish manager ever, not a chance. I would have Struth, Shankly & Ferguson miles ahead of him, not even close. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimmy millar Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Also,Walter Smith,in his two spells at Ibrox,and his time with Everton and Scotland,can give Stein a run for his money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggordy 0 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I also don't care about Stein's private life, true or not. At least none of it broke any laws. He will always be an iconic manager for me. However, I am concerned with the censorship. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mccoist9 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I agree. I bought the book because I thought that it would delve a bit deeper into Scot Symon's time with our club but it was ruined by the stuff written about Stein. I agree that outwith our own support Symon's achievements don't necessarily get the credit that they deserve - taking over from Struth must have been akin to taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson today yet he built arguably the finest team in our history and took us to two European finals - but why this guy had to use Stein's off-field activities to try and get this recognition is baffling. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 The question is, was he going on to TalkSport to talk about Scot Symon or Stein. If it was Stein then it doesn't say much for TalkSport. In fact, why bring Jock Steins private life into a book about Scot Symon in the first place. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
