Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm not clear on what is classed as repetition so perhaps we can have 1 topic where we can say what we like (within reason) and let off steam. Also, certain people can just stay away from this thread and then they won't be offended. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waltersgotstyle 307 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I love McCoist - however I am starting to get frustrated at his team selections. Jig should be nowhere near our team for this coming season. If we are to persist with a back 3 we should be trying to nurture young Gasparotto. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 6,119 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The Board won't/can't sack Ally. We must endure. I went firm on my growing opinion in the immediate aftermath of the Ramsdens cup final. Within several yards of Easter Road, I turned to my mates and agreed with their settled will. On the bus on the way back, the name, 'Long Ball Ally' was coined and so far this season, that name continues. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,663 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yeah, it's fine to use this thread to let off steam but please avoid the kind of insults or abuse that would breach our rules. I can see myself using this thread myself from time to time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Bring back the Zap, is he away on his hols or summit? I'm here boss. Great idea for a thread SBS. If only someone had thought of it earlier! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 This is not a criticism but merely an observation, but does anyone else think Ally looks tired in this interview? http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/9406189/mccoist-ready-for-new-season 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 He looks shattered quite often and it's probably for multiple reasons. He's been under a lot of stress over the past couple of years, especially during a large chunk of 2012. Then there's the nights oot at the karaoke 'n' that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildy 0 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Football is a fantastic sport and I think it was Pele who described it as 'the beautiful game'. Is it beautiful at Ibrox? No, it's not. Is it pretty then? Again, no. Is it interesting and with just enough character to be attractive in its own unique way? Sadly, no. Is it ruggedly handsome then in masculine fashion? No, quite the opposite. What is it then? It is ugly, submissive football. If it was a car, it would be a clapped-out jalopy; if it was a plane, it would be Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose; if it was a boat, it would be a leaky rowing boat with one oar; if it was a building, it would be boarded up and derelict; if it was a girl it would be a wallflower and if it was a politician, it would be John Prescott. Down Ibrox way, Mr McCoist has removed the beauty and artistry from football and replaced it with fear, bland, boring and tedious - while incorporating an old folks' home into the home dressing room. Football at Ibrox barely resembles football at all. It is a grotesque Frankenstein creation that should be for undiscerning adults only. Taking children to witness this is tantamount to child abuse. To the uninitiated, here are a few words of advice if curiosity gets the better of you and a trip to Ibrox is on the cards. It should really be on a sign next to the turnstiles. ANYTHING YOU SEE HERE WHICH RESEMBLES FOOTBALL IS PURELY ACCIDENTAL 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
