It takes absolutely nothing away from what they've done this season. It's nothing more than an opportunity to close the book on four years that no Rangers supporter will have to see anything like again. In time the 'journey' will be much romanticised again and in all honesty will likely be the most discussed period of our history for decades to come. Next season we get back to a sense of normality in that we're back to the same grounds we've been going to for decades, facing the same teams we've always faced and have he same expectations we always have.

Escobar 13,676 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Don't want McCoist back to celebrate but the amount of shite on the facts posted above us a nonsense. Everytime it's mentioned we were beat it's "Gubbed". Anytime we won it was "Just". Don't get us wrong he was abysmal as manager and totally agree but hate when you need to reinforce the point.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 No thanks. We had a chance to build something great from the bottom up, but the only bottom we saw was McCoist's during training. Set us back at least two years with his overpaid, overaged mercenaries. Thermopylae, eejay the dj and Bearsden bear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even guys who were vocal in their opposition to McCoist as manager haven't suggested there'd be disorder if he was to return to Ibrox.

You wouldn't. THerefore, don't try and act like some sort of moral hero by saying Ally should pay his wages back. I know football wages are on a different level, but if it was a smaller club with a wage equivalent to the living wage for a manager then it would be embarassing to demand the same demand I wouldn't be surprised if MW and DW have a drink with Ally behind closed scenes after the semi and maybe during the summer I would be surprised if Ally was publically celebrating at Ibrox unless he was in Directors box - - I highly highly doubt any member of this squad would be annoyed to see Ally celebrating at Ibrox- maybe would be annoyed if Kevin Kyle Ian Black etc. all show up for a pat on the back (they wont) I've read some shite on here in my time (my own postings included) but fuck me, I don't even know where to start with that.

By 8th Feb 2012 Celtic were 10 points ahead - a total swing of 25 points in just 12 weeks or so. • Knocked out of the League Cup, beaten 3-2 by 1st Division outfit, Falkirk. • Knocked out of the Scottish Cup, beaten 2-0 by Dundee Utd. • Knocked out of the Champions League by Swedish minnows, Malmo. • Knocked out of the Europa League by Slovenian minnows, Maribor. • Gubbed 1-0 by Kilmarnock in our first game after going into Administration. Over the following 3 weeks we were also beaten 2-1 by Hearts and 2-1 by Dundee Utd. • Just managed to narrowly scrape a 2-1 win against part-time minnows, Brechin City in the Ramsdens Pawnbrokers Cup at Glebe Park - needing a last gasp, extra time goal to do so. • Just managed to scrape a 2-2 draw with part-time minnows, Peterhead at Balmoor - needing a last gasp, last minute goal to do so. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with part-time minnows, Berwick Rangers at Shielfield Park. • Just managed to scrape a 1-0 win against part-time minnows, Forres Mechanics at Mosset Park - after Forres were reduced to ten men. • Just managed to scrape a 0-0 draw with part-time minnows, Annan Athletic at Galabank. Despite being 5 games into the season, and playing in the basement rungs of Scottish football with SPL players we were still without an away win, sitting fourth in the table. • Horsed out of the Ramsdens Pawnbrokers Cup by Queen Of The South 4-3 on penalties after failing to beat them over 120 minutes of turgid clogging. • Beaten 1-0 by a Stirling Albion side, nestled snugly at the base of Scottish football's fourth tier, and who had just lost their previous five games on the trot. • Finally managed an away win in the fourth tier by scraping a narrow win against 10-man Clyde at Broadwood. • Horsed out of the League Cup by Inverness Caley Thistle who trounced us 3-0 at Ibrox. The scoreline was kept to 3-0 only by an outstanding performance from Neil Alexander, without whom it could easily have been 5 or 6. • Just managed to scrape a 1-0 win against 10-man Queens Park at Hampden - needing a last gasp, 92nd minute, injury time goal to do so. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with part-time minnows Elgin City at Ibrox - after Elgin had been reduced to 10 men. • Just managed to scrape a narrow 1-0 win over 10-man Peterhead at Balmoor, with a Fran Sandaza tap-in (his first goal in five months) after keeper Graeme Smith had spilled the ball. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with Montrose at Ibrox - needing an own goal from Montrose's Jonathan Crawford to do so. • Knocked out of the Scottish Cup, after being absolutely destroyed 3-0 by Dundee Utd - the same team that knocked us out of the cup the previous year. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with part-time minnows, Stirling Albion at Forthbank - when Stirling were sitting joint bottom of the fourth tier. We managed just 1 point out of a potential 6 at Forthbank that season. • Gubbed 2-1 at Ibrox by an Annan Athletic, a side sitting 34 points behind us, and nestled in second-bottom place at the base of Scottish football's fourth tier. It was only Annan's second away win of the season, having only won 7 league games out of 28 played thus far. • Just managed to scrape a 1-0 win against part-time minnows, Elgin City at Borough Briggs, needing a 73rd minute penalty to do so. • Just managed to scrape a 0-0 draw with part-time minnows, Stirling Albion at Ibrox. • Just managed to scrape a 0-0 draw with part-time minnows, Montrose at Links Park - after Montrose had a perfectly legitimate winning volley from Martin Boyle disallowed. • Gubbed 2-1 at Ibrox by Peterhead, the day after Charles Green stepped down. • Horsed out of the League Cup in the first round by Forfar Athletic, 2-1 in extra time, after failing to beat them over 90 minutes. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with Stranraer at Ibrox, needing a penalty in which to do so. • Just managed to scrape a narrow 3-2 win over Arbroath at Ibrox, needing a penalty award to do so. This was after falling behind twice to the second-bottom placed team, who were FORTY FOUR points behind us prior to kick off. • Just managed to scrape a 3-3 draw with Stenhousemuir at Ibrox, needing an own-goal by Ross McMillan to do so. That was after falling behind TWICE. • Just managed to scrape a 1-0 win over East Fife at Bayview with a 95th minute goal, courtesy of a penalty. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with Albion Rovers in the Scottish Cup at Ibrox. • Losing the Ramsdens Pawnbrokers Cup Final in extra time to Raith Rovers.

linnyplant 303 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Ally Mcoist was a poor football manager but he was a great leader in our time of crisis. We needed someone when we were all traumatised by events and Ally stood up for our club and helped to galvanise the fans as best as he possibly could have.I think he was instrumental in refusing to give up our titles and we should be eternally gratefully for that alone. He may have made the wrong choices at the end of his tenure but when you compare what he did for the club as a player and as a leader in time of crisis then in my opinion he will always be a legend in my eyes. He gave me some of the greatest moments and experiences I'm my time following Rangers. If you choose to continue to hate Ally after all he has contributed to the club then the that is your right as a fan. He will always be a legend in my eyes.

Simply being a club legend as a player doesn't mean you automatically qualify for one the biggest managerial jobs in the world without having at least cut your teeth or proven yourself elsewhere...but Walter and SDM have a lot to answer for there.

Not being selective at all. I never said I rated him as a manager. Nothing close to it. I didn't actually agree with him being given the job at the time. Nor do I commend any of his managerial skills whatsoever. I do however believe he was instrumental in getting us going again in Div 3. He was a figurehead, nothing more. But he kept everyone reassured when we thought we might be seeing a season without football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
don logan 8,023 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 He was a dreadful manager. The circumstances surrounding his tenure would have had little impact, if any. His salary was ridiculous but that was down to the largesse of that dick Bain. The fact that he continued to take it from us when effectively sacked will always stick in my craw. We needed more than he did. Worst Rangers manager ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,263 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The campaign to reintegrate the dud is well under way. His msm friends are getting him into print and testing the waters for his resurgence. I expect him to be in a studio for the beast game. I would rather stop despising him tbh, but this will only happen when the anger reduces over time. Too raw now. He deserves nothing from us now, and should be included in no way in any celebrations. He is a failure, a costly failure, and our success this year is because we got rid of him and got capable people in. If folk want to reminisce over his time as a player fine, but that's not what this is about. It's about his part in the journey. Of all that happened during the last few years the biggest embarrassments were caused by him. His players, his teams, his failures. And then he chose to take the fully paid gardening pay from his strapped beloved club. Aye right. Indefensible. Hope he doesn't darken our doors for many a year, and certainly shouldn't be invited by any one associated with Rangers to do so at present.

weshallnotbemoved! 714 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Its a title celebration for this year's performance. Ally had the title celebrations for the two he won. His star burns bright and he is a divisive figure just now so any anything more than a place in the crowd would take away from what this specific team and manager have done.

Actually I was thinking more of the pitiful excuses and apportioning blame on others for his ineptitude and the teams sub standard performances For being every bit as greedy as the others who availed themselves of cheap shares - earning them the nickname of Spivs. For spending money on players and wages who added zero value to the club and failed to do what was asked of them leaving his eventual replacement with a huge rebuilding job.
