the_r_sole 366 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Anyone else stopped watching these now? Absolutely sick of players and our management talking the best games ever, only to be humbled yet again on the pitch... These guys need to start doing the talking where and when it matters, I think we should stop all the press conference shite until the team are performing, they wind me up more than anything when we are struggling. Some of these guys need to understand what it really takes to be a rangers player rather than believing how good a game they will have or how they've learned something from not being able to put away Ross country or Aberdeen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the balance needs to be addressed as it leads to those that are watching thinking MW is clueless. Maybe it's in their contract not to speak of Rangers in any negative aspect including press conferences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1872 20,654 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Could tell you what he says before I watch it. 1) Players trained well all week 2) Got the loading right 3) Not about the opposition it's about what we do 4) Some chat about how amazing English football is and the gulf between us and them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the questions are set up to make him look clueless or that his replies don't address the cons of the game. I back the manager and team 100% but I don't think the way he speaks in these press conferences does him any favours. It needs to be more balanced with the pros and cons so that fans know he is seeing what they are seeing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Flip side is 1) Players trained shite all week 2) No idea if I got the loading right - or anything else for that matter 3) Really worried about the opposition - no matter what we do we will struggle 4) No chat about fuck all else - even if a journo brings up a topic like English football and the gulf between us and them I will not say a word That sounds rrrrreeeeeeeeaaaaaaallllllllllll professional that does.

Tbh, it's more the players press conferences that annoy me, no point in telling us how good a performance you are going to put in, or how well you play in training if you put a shitebag performance in on the pitch then tell us how much you've learned from it and how you will work hard in training etc, fucking mind numbing and frustrating. Manager could at least come over a bit more humble and realistic, he's been in charge of some embarrassing performances this season and his record in the last 20-30 games is atrocious. Saying they learn the lessons isn't acceptable any more imo, if they learn from it then let's see it on the pitch. Not in a press conference. I could tell you the main issues we've had since Warburton took charge is giving away simple goals because we don't have a commanding centre half and we struggle against better teams because we don't have a natural finisher playing centre forward, we learned that after about three weeks of Warburton being in charge and we are still learning the same lessons a season later... We need evidence of development on the pitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Ask the same questions every week and you're going to get the same answers. And it's in the contracts of the manager and players to do regular press conferences, and that's the only reason they do it. They don't do it for fun. Lee Wallace basically said as much in the pre-sheep pressers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could easily say that the players didn't take their training performance into the game or some players weren't good enough on the day and need to work harder. Doesn't need to say he got tactics wrong but at the same time could recognise that he had the issues that everyone in the stand could see... Could.wasily talk about the opposition, say he knew they would sit in and play the counter because every team in Scotland knows that's the way to exploit our weaknesses and tell is what he thinks he could do to win a game or two...

Looked at their strengths and weaknesses and we know how to play against them and BEAT them! 4) Stop going on about England and making it out as if it's the fucking be all and end all. We can't compete purely because we are on the same planet as England!!!!! I'm only interested in what he's going to do to fix this fucking mess we are in. He needs to take some fucking responsibility!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Garners interview he addressed the pro and the cons and how he could improve his game. Imo, this is what's needed so that fans, know that the manager and team are hearing them and are addressing our glitches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to assume that what he says in the PC's is different to what he says in the analysis room (I'd certainly hope so anyway).
