nvager 498 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I wonder what the real deal is with McKay?He has had virtually no playing time and behind almost everyone on the bench. Something odd here or are we just reading too much into this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycassidy1802 37 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Not even on a very dire bench yesterday, I think it's a lost cause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 He'll leave.Ally doesn't rate him and / or there has been a row.No big deal imho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

laudrupno1 3,932 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Really is a strange one was looking forward to seeing him play but looking more and more unlikely that will ever happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,398 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Its not because of football reasons thats for sure. His time is up though I reckon and I for one am very disappointed because I think he has the ability to be a very good player.Think Ally would rather let Ortiz, McKay and even Bedoya go, admit his mistakes and use the freed up wages to bring in better players or more needed players i.e strikers.

Something odd here or are we just reading too much into this?Has he upset Ally in some way? I think he must have.Aussie POTY and a guy we chased for ages - and yet Bartley and Papac start in midfield before him. And now he cant even get on the bench.Occording to the Oz Bears on here, he's a cross between Stuart McCall and Alex McDonald, so he cant be a bad wee player.Odd? You betcha!

gillRFC 0 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 We all know of our money problems yet we sign players who are either not good enough or the manager isn't giving them a chance? Bizarre after our recent performances Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrangemouthRSC 832 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Maybe he just isn't good enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullseye4 0 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Strange situation altogether, we are crying out for something different from the team but we have not got a clue if he is any good.I hope Ally isn't going down the route of easing him into the team like Kerkar.....If so he will probably start his next game in 2013 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa6995 3,686 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have already excluded him from my thoughts.We will possibly never know the full story if indeed there is one.If it is that he is not good enough then fine, but those responsible for his signing should be held in some way accountable.By the way that does not go solely for Matt McKay but every pursued signing who does not make the grade.

Garnock Blue 317 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 hard to call this one, from vass training pics he looks like he is enjoying things so not sure about the training comment issue?....it does look like perhaps he has had a fall out with one of the " coaches".....and his card is marked and they are hoping he will ask to leave....

garycassidy1802 37 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yes, maybe the Australian Player Of The Year isn't good enough to play in the SPL or against lower league teams in the cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol 401 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 He came from the A-league, albeit having played internationals for Australia.It was always going to be a gamble plucking guys from a league like that and hoping they'd make the step-up at Rangers. And believe me it is a step-up.McCoist doesn't seem like the kind of guy to keep players out of the team on personal grounds. I imagine he's just not as good in the flesh as McCoist hoped. Must not be doing it at training.Huge shame though. I really thought it'd work out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mairydilk 22 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 he looks happy in the training pics, so I can only assume that he is being spared for the final push. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,660 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I know he's a bit older than him but Edu had to wait a while before getting a chance and ended up playing a huge part in winning us the league in 09, maybe the same will happen for McKay ?

stuart54 218 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 he looks happy in the training pics, so I can only assume that he is being spared for the final push.But Ally said a couple of days ago that he'd let Bedoya and MacKay go out on loan for the remainder of the season.

I could be wrong but I think he criticised our training, said Brisbane Roar's training methods were better.I think it was along those lines.
