simplythebest 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 If you automatically think the worst of the man for whatever reason then yes, I suppose you could look at it that way I don't see what thinking the worst has to do with it, under pressure managers come out with bizarre media comments plenty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 RANGERS as a Club have been saying similar since I was a boy. I thought after the summer things might have changed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ally was a foreign manager with a poor grasp of English then I'd almost expect these type of comments, but given his ties to the club and what we and particularly he has gone through over almost the entirety of his time in management at the club, I think there might be more to it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragosani 69 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 i think he should of shown a wee bit of humility there! No one is expecting to see us go all Ajax/Barcelona stylie(although it would nice) but it would be nice to see a team that has spirit and desire to win, and one that can pass the ball! Also, if i was one of the younger lads at the club i wouldnt be too happy at being told i'm only good enough for this division and not the next! he needs to get off his high horse stop being a martyr and tell us why we cant pass! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's cryptic stuff that seems certain to be trying to distract from our on the field problems. If there are some serious extenuating circumstances then there's no reason at all for the fans to not know exactly what they are.

Doesn't make it true though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shareholders and sponsors seem pretty irrelevant to me if there's stuff going on causing us to be outplayed by Annan at home. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it as a broader statement in response to broader critisism. I didn't see any reference to any single game. I also didn't see us being outplayed by Annan. We lost the game and we were a huge disappointment but we were still playing the better football for the majority of the game. That's not to take anything away from Annan who unlike us did defend very well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon 1,292 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I find that statement quite worrying. Last week Ally was agreeing with Charles Green that this is the poorest Rangers team ever. Today he comes out with a very defensive, inarticulate and cryptic speech that is as clear as mud. When I first read it I felt quite piqued that Ally was dismissing our opinions. Nothing can excuse the crap tactics and the dreadful lack of effort on the park. I think the fans deserve a better explanation. At the same time, I think enough of Ally to accept that something is amiss. Time will tell and I don't think we will have long to wait. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't disagree more on Annan, they gave us a footballing lesson. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
