Marky. 6,927 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Quote Alves concerned about 'unacceptable' behaviour on the pitch Laura Brannan24 mins ago The Rangers defender says something needs to change because they want to play football. Rangers defender Bruno Alves has hit out at some of the "unacceptable" behaviour he has witnessed on the pitch in Scotland, saying something needs to change. The 35-year-old's side lost 2-0 to Motherwell in the League Cup semi final amid many heated battles across the pitch. Fabio Cardoso suffered a broken nose when he was elbowed by Ryan Bowman and Alves himself escaped punishment when he kicked out at goal-hero Louis Moult. Managers Pedro Caixinha and Steve Robinson were also sent to the stand as tempers frayed on the touchline. It left Alves angry that referee Steven McLean allowed Motherwell to play such a physical game and speaking after the defeat he admitted it's an area of the Scottish game that concerns him. "I'm very disappointed for what happened on the pitch," he said at full time. "We are always trying to play football, I do not like to speak about the referees but they can't allow this kind of behaviour. It happens too many times and I'm really concerned about this. "After this kind of behaviour anything can happen but this is not football. I like physical contact and to play hard but this is too much and it's not good behaviour. "This is not acceptable. I don't want to find excuses for when we lose but today I'm really disappointed with this. "I'm sad because we lost the game but I'm sad about what happened. Fabio broke his nose, what more can happen? "We came here to play football. We like when it is fast and confrontational but that was too much. Something needs to change because we want to play football." https://stv.tv/sport/football/1400491-alves-concerned-about-unacceptable-behaviour-on-the-pitch/?utm_content=bufferbdd52&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer I'm kind of caught with this one. He's half right in the sense that teams do go at us hard, and referees like today and against Hibs do not help. On the other hand, it just proves again how we don't show the same desire as the teams who try to make things as physical as possible. His way of combatting that today was by kicking out like a schoolboy, not like the well-travelled veteran he is and that was also worrying.

Prso's headband 35,446 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Alves epitomises everything that's going wrong. He comes with a stellar career, a hard man, no nonsense defender who defends first. Yet today when he's wearing the armband I see him in the ear of the ref once, he makes literally no tackles, gets caught by two high balls and doesn't command the back 4. He's been the biggest let down for as long as I can remember with the reputation he brought with him. His mantra should be to absolutely level the opposition player fairly in the first 10 and let them know they're in a game. I've yet to see this cunt actually make a half decent tackle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The ref has quite rightly took a hammering but Alves should have been sent off and acted like an arsehole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman36 3,455 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Alves has been a huge disappointment this season. He looks like the clichéd guy here for his pension. Pedro's been unlucky in that regard. I'm cconvinced he was hoping to get sent off today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,722 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 In my day if a cunt had broken a team mates nose then the cunt would not have walked off the park. He's not wrong in what he's saying but teams smell our fear, they know we are not up for a battle. From Wednesday, we need to fight like fuck, retaliate first if need be and show we're not a team of shitebags. Otherwise we're in for a long hard season of teams smashing fuck out of us and we go hiding and saying it's unfair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 If him and the defence had cleared the ball at their first goal instead of standing looking at them like fuckin statues and giving them three chances then I might give him a bit of credit, and even earlier at a corner he headed the ball that went over the bar but was more interested in fixing his fuckin 'bun' than the fact he had missed, I gave him the benefit of the doubt after missing the bheggar game and his international absence but he's just another one that it's only about him, get him to fuck another imposter !

ZZed 4,510 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 In parts of the game it was just, kick fuck out of Rangers players, so he is right. But, he needs to switch on to that is how some will play against us until you cement them. Welcome to Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it is constant and the fucker doesn't pass forward regardless of the score line. rember this was the shitebag that was unfit for the taig game but miraculously was ok for Portugal just after.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,782 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The guy who did this is complaining about the physicality? I thought Pedro was signing a team of "warriors" shouldn't they be able to not only stand up to a physical approach but also dish it out too?
