Jeez gogzy. The thread's been going a while...our views are similar. You made a point...the same as mine. We agree on this and always have done. I was telling the other to read the OP. Look above applies to the post above...not the post I'm quoting. That's standard forum stuff. Chill dude, you've got this wrong. No need to have a pop.

As I said....he's better qualified than some dude on a forum...yeah? He's won twenty in a row. You wanna tell him he's wrong? You should be a manager then. Some just want an excuse to moan.

Er...read it again...I was backing you.

Ridiculous? Do you have a Uefa Pro 'A' license like Ally McCoist? Have you led a professional football team to twenty wins in a row? The answer's no to both. So moan when we get beat. Some of you...seriously....moaning bastards.

I doubt some actually read the thread. Read OP...Post shite. Simples. Example above.

Kille's the last SP(L) club I'd be getting angry at.

CTSAMom!!! Well done! You deserve it!

I loved McKay last season...I praised him thread after thread. It would seem it's attitude rather than ability that's keeping him out of the team. Tis all I've heard. Hope it's wrong....Aird is usurping him big time now.

So you're not? Thank you. Twas you you who brought up coaching qualifications, not me. I guess he passed more courses.

I never said it takes two players. I said Rangers play man-marking at the moment. Unlike Celtic for example who's zonal marking made them look such arses vs Milan. I'm aware of what man-marking means....you have a man, you pick him up. If you have the corner taker you defend the near post and close down in event of a short corner or the man getting into the area. Far too much FM stuff going on here from guys who seem unwilling to accept McCoist has 20/20... "Opposition is shite" they say... I gave them Motherwell - Albion Rovers Hearts - Raith Celtic - Morton.. Dismissed though as "they didn't care they lost" So jeez...whatever guys lol. Life's too short.... I'll back Ally and celebrate the wins!

....are you as qualified as Ally McCoist? Uefa Pro Grade A coaching license?

Dear Foghorn....are you as qualified as Ally McCoist?

3 'freak' results... Ok then.

Oh Novo....nice. But of course the guy taking the corner needs someone ready if either a short corner or the ball comes back to him. We play man-marking....you can't leave him free do to what he likes. That's why someone closes him down.

Can you? That depends on how many they put forward. We kept two up last year....kept all back this year. What's working better?

Then as I asked. Who's dropping their marker? Is one gonna help? Is it really such a big problem? I mean...really? You talk about who'll we'll face....I've pointed out lower league clubs have...and continue to beat them all. This is Scotland. There are no 'class' teams anymore.

You do understand whats happened the last couple of years to our squad and how what Walter did means zilch? You do realise we've won 20 in a row? You do realise Morton beat Celtic this season at their own hovel? I'm just checking.

They don't have all up...we don't have all marking either....we've players on the line. Last season we never did that and conceded a ridiculous amount of headed goals from corners. He changed tactics this season...yeah, we defend set pieces like a fortress now but er....hasn't it produced better results in a better division? We're not good enough again yet to allow ourselves to have an attacking outlook in a defensive set-piece. Our tactics are measured to our current level and division...it's working well. We'll see what he does when we face an SP team.... I simply feel it's a moan Ally doesn't deserve, seeing as we all moaned about the easy goals we lost last season.

Tell that to Motherwell...and Albion Rovers. Hearts and....Raith Rovers. Oh and Celtic....and Morton.

What he's doing is keeping everyone marked and hoping the opposition don't score a wondergoal. Most goals against us are great goals as we don't allow them in the six yard box....that's just football. I agree, it would be great to have breakaways from corners and attack but them, who are you not marking? You go back to last season when we lost goals from free headers not picked up, inside the box. We've fixed that....but now we want goals from corners against us as well? As some of have said, the system is common, it leaves you open to outside of the box wondergoals....which is the type we largely concede. They're rarer than the easy stuff we let in last season though due to terrible marking. I guess when it starts working against us...results-wise...he'll change. Till then...Ally can't really win if we want it corners well defended and expect breakaways as well.

Ok ya.

Ok. He clearly has everyone picking up a marker, with two on the line. They've two back. Eight are marking eight. How would you change it and who doesn't get marked?

Cool. I quite agree.

I like your view from '82

Aird's a promising player...like the look of him. Mohsni? He's just random. Always will be. I love him.
