H72 265 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Superb read!"It's more obvious why I've started to think of the outgoing Rangers manager as "Uncle Football". And Lionel Messi remains a poor wee boy who couldn't score at Ibrox."Great ending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradfield 35 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Alex Anderson's a very good writer. Used to enjoy his blog, but I'm not sure if he publishes anything on a regular basis outwith WSC now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalton 1,192 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Enjoyed that article and some good valid points made.What seems to be forgotten is that we were forced to play without jelavic that night due to crazy rules yet we have had to play without a top quality striker and havent brought it up as an excuse unlike man utd with half their team missing etc.In the Spl it cold be argued that we enjoy the luxury of having better players than other teams in the league and many teams have parked the bus and did the same to us.That is reality and the brainless anti football brigade need to look further back England v Poland world cup qualifier 1973 at wembley poland got to the world cup instead of england because they took everything thrown at them that night and emerged winners - yet that wasnt called anti football then ?

dummiesoot 16,005 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Man U parked the bus on Wednesday, in Rio's words, "kept it tight at the back without giving them a decent chance at goal, granted we never did much ourselves" so there you go, Sir Alex copied Uncle Walter.

delamonty 992 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 That, is a tremendous article. Well done to Alex Anderson.100% spot on.btw: Man U set up against Valencia for a draw the other night. Played as anti football as you will see apparently. (I did not see the match. I just heard about it via Canadian commentators at half time). And? Snuck a 1-0 victory. Anti-Footbal by Sir Alex?: No.. Brilliant managing no doubt. Just like Jose.Ah well. I'll take our Anti Football all the way to Wembley. I'd take Dublin as well. But, this is our year. Once we get into the last 16 and we unleash Jela on the CL? Look out.Great article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Just been reading thru some of the comments. Check out this one from a Yank (Arsenal supporter btw)I was impressed that Rangers could visit Old Trafford, one of the most difficult venues to play at and against one of the best football clubs on Earth and hold Man Utd to a draw. WOW! On that night Rangers FC were equal to Man Utd, every manager in the world should strive for that lofty goal. Some folks on this planet actually DO have some common sense after all? We, of course, know this instinctively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misteral 2,932 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Great article and spot on about so called 'anti-football'. For most clubs the game now is about competing with the 'have's' as best as you possibly can, and any which way you can. Can't the so called 'neutrals' see that?
