Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Call-off decision was right, says Rangers boss McCoist ALLY McCOIST today defended his decision to call off Rangers' Championship clash with Cowdenbeath last Saturday.Chris Jack Group Sports WriterSaturday 18/10/20140 CommentsSharePrintKris Boyd has yet to score in a league match this seasonThe SPFL upheld the Light Blues' request after an appeal from Jimmy Nicholl's side as Rangers spent the international weekend on the sidelines.Hearts extended their lead at the top of the table to nine points, but McCoist insists the right call was made for his side.He said: "The first thing is that I've got to look after the interests of my football club and I think the best way to put it would be if we played the fixture without four players and we got beaten, I'm not sure there would be too much sympathy and people would say they were a wee bit unlucky because they had four players missing."I think we all know football doesn't work like that. So it is our job to play as strong as possible a team for ourselves, but also to respect the opposition."Having called some games off now, I think it would grossly unfair on some of the other teams."For example, if we go to play Dumbarton while there is an international and we play them while we are missing four players, is that then fair on Cowdenbeath?"So we have to show fairness to everyone, but the most important thing is that we have to look after our own corner."McCoist has yet to see Kris Boyd net in the Championship this term, but he is confident the goal drought will come to an end.He said: "Boydy will be fine. He's been contributing in other ways and I just think it's a matter of time before he gets off and running."

centenarystand 2,227 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Rangers fearing Cowdenbeath? It was a blunder and he is making my blood boil. We are going nowhere until we have a new Manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon 1,741 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I honestly never thought I'd see a Rangers manager with this sort of mentality. Just to be clear, who were the four players that would have been missing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose1975 1,287 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 With his job on the line he was right to call the game off if he feels he needs his full squad to choose from, personally I wouldn't have but I understand his logic.

Gazzalivesforever 1,987 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Moshni (was suspended anyway), Wallace (had no chance of being picked), shiels (stand by for NI) and Zaliukas (who hadn't played in weeks). McCoist is a fuckin fool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been contributing in other ways and I just think it's a matter of time before he gets off and running.Makes him sound like a horse which is probably appropriate as he plays like one.When will you do us all a favour Ally and fall on your sword.

1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That's afucking joke, who gives a fuck about whether it's fair on Cowdenbeath or not sand one thing that statement says for sure is that the Alloa game in a few weeks will 100% be called off, or at the very least he will be asking for it.

Tontospal 1,116 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 He is an embarrassment and has no shame or sense of reality.He also kept up his stance of backing every person who could decide his future. Cringeworthy as ever.Whilst I agree with him that it would be nice to get some fresh investment the last thing I want is him with a transfer fund.Better in the long run for the club if any investment is used to get him and the other clowns out of the door.

Wafflesniffer 399 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Grossly unfair on other teams? He is aware the aim of the game is to beat them? It would be more respectful to take them on with what we've got at our disposal (despite these call-ups being practically non-existent). Even with four players missing we have a squad to take care of these teams. Just not a manager.Perhaps he could respect the support by forming & motivating a team to do some talking on the park for a change. Imposter of a manager.

Perhaps McCoist should understand that it's about making his own fans and club happy, fairness is determined by the governing body. If things aren't deemed fair then you state your case and appeal.What the hell is McCoist thinking? I'm starting to really hate having him in charge.
