TheGypsyKing 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 He'll get a token 5minutes then Bit unfair, if he hadn't picked up that injury so early in the match, he would have probably played the whole of the Old Firm game. The way he started if he didn't pull up he would have been hooked by HT, but that ain't his fault after been flung in at RB. Andrew Little is like a lot of our reserves he'll get on for a token 5-10 minutes from the bench, can't see him ever outing anybody in our 1st team or becoming a permanent fixture if everybody is fit. He was playing with a torn hamstring from the kick-off, which explains 'the way he started'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic immediately played a diagonal ball over to Zhi and Little sprinted over to head it out. After he did so he grabbed his hammy and couldn't run properly from then on. That was literally about 5 seconds into the match and he played at right back for some time after that before being moved up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryH 15 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Does anyone else think that Fleck, little and the rest of them should be given a crack at the diddy cup? I would have thought with Ally being in charge of the teams for that tournament that he they would have been given a run out then, instead we fielded a full strength team at a time when we should have been resting our senior stars for Europe, don’t get me wrong I have nothing but respect for Walter but sometimes his logic baffles me. Even playing 2 of our youth players in the match would have gave them invaluable first team experience. If we hadn't given Hutton a chance then who knows if he would have became the player he is today (in my opinion one of the top 5 RB’s in Europe), This proves to Walter that our youth academy can yield stars,,,,,,, if given half a chance!!!! “ I’ll play for Rangers as long as I can, then spend the rest of my life depressed ” – Ally Mcoist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 He only got a chance because we literally had no-one else. I'm not sure about that.

I agree with that - WS must have thought Little would add something, possibly going forward. He could have started with the team he had when Little had to go off. I don't know why Smith didn't give him more match time as a sub in the less crucial games before the OF though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both us acknowledge he was injured. It's when he was injured we don't seem to agree with. We've all seen him play for us and NI in the past to put this unlucky Oldfirm debut behind him, and going with Walter statement he should get more minutes on the park to make a name for himself.

I don't want to seem arrogant about it but it's pretty clear he was injured in the first few seconds. See here, for example: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ers/8293894.stm The only reason (it seems, at least, correct me if I'm wrong) that you think the injury happened later is because that's when the team was eventually shuffled round. It wouldn't matter except it means you're judging his performance unfairly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
