BLUEDIGNITY 33,746 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 He looks lost a lot of the time, runs about stumbling into other players, makes the odd good pass.Only Lee Wallace and Andy Little looked up for it todayThis sums it up !

RANGERST1LLADIE 33 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Total waste of a jersey. Contributes nothing in games and was lucky to finish the game the day. He's not even half as good as he was when he played against us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Started the season fairly well, but has begun to disappear in games.Signed as a 'tough guy' for Division 3, no other reason. He's not even good at that.Should be moved on next year IMO, not Rangers standard.It's disapointing because I thought Black would be a good player for us in the lower leagues, the only defense i have of him is he is hampered by the fact that he gets booked for pretty much everything ( some of it very unfairly IMO) and is always walking a tightrope.Overall I feel he just slows the pace of the game down a wee bit too much, almost everything decent I have seen from us this season has been through fast paced quick passing moves, and he breaks it up too much in my opinion.I am pretty disapointed with most of the SPL signings. Templeton has been very good in spells, but really could do with upping his consistency. Sheils has done some good stuff, but I thought he would stroll it in SFL3, and both Kyle and Sandaza have been below par.The younger players are showing these guys up most weeks, they seem hungry while the more senior players seem to be just coasting.

ger50champ 300 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Another thing that I've noticed .When he was a Jambo he did seem to play up to Hearts fans in a popular way .I can't really ever remember him ingratiating himself to ours ,Infact in the 1st Clyde game away he was quite the opposite .I don't have anything personal against him but I want our central midfield to be more influential than Black and Hutton were today by a Country mile .If Black wants to have a future at our club I would suggest he works a little harder to get fans onside but I've a feeling this wouldn't be on his mind ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,287 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think you can see from his performances that his heart just isn't in it which is a damned disgrace ... we badly need a tough manager in there to give a lot of them a rude awakening because they just aren't earning their big salaries Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,924 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 He didn't boss that game at Ibrox last year. In both games we were close to 60% possession and the match they won 2-1 all he did was score that wonder goal. 58% possession and their keeper made some excellent saves.He was the best player on the park easily, a guy sitting next to me nearly got clumped for praising him, "thats the type of player we need" most of us around sort of agreed but not so vocally, he did plenty that game, and next to nothing for us since joining.Stats mean fuck all, 1-2 was the one that hurt.

will2203 826 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 And he's a Red card waiting to happen every week.Agreed mate. Ref was very lenient towards him today. Could easily have walked after being booked. Nae brain at all. Somebody should tell him we are shooting the opposite way and we might just see a forward pass.

Drunk and disorderly. 14,738 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Black has been disappointing this season but I can think of 2 or 3 high earning seasoned pros we should get off the payroll before him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakbear 3,586 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I know McCoist was always going to have to cobble a team/squad together because of the circumstances surrounding our licence, etc, etc but Shiels, Sandaza & Black had been talked about as potential signing targets long before we knew where we would be playing. These guys were basically "long term" targets so there is no excuse for them not working out.Shiels, Black, Sandaza and to an extent Templeton were all decent to good SPL players because their managers at their respective clubs played to their strengths and knew what role they wanted them to play within the team and I just can't believe that four players who all showed good form (even if they are/were slightly overated) last year don't suddenly become terrible players, especially when they are dropping down three levels.I don't think these guys are entirely blameless for their poor form, but I do think a large part of their poor form is down to them being poorly managed/coached by their manager.I think this is the best point being made here. Shiels, Black and Sandaza have all been woeful for us, and they are not bad players, certainly not as bad as they appear to have been for us. So you have to ask why they are playing so badly for us?I was firmly in the pro Ally camp but I am starting to waiver now. I am now moving towards the "Ally is a legend and we should never forget what he has done for us but he is not the man for the managers job" camp..... thats a big title for a camp.At this stage of the season, with plenty time to drill the players, to form a team, to get them doing what he wants them to be doing and with plenty of training, that we can lose to Annan Athletic at Ibrox is actually unbelievable.Big Jig is right about one thing, there is absolutely no excuse and who, if not Ally, can be held accountable?

King Jela 20,687 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I watched him for Hearts last season and actually thought he was a decent SPL player, he's signed for us though and has looked utter shite since.

The poster said he met Black in a nightclub and Black was out his face on coke. Black said "it's ok, "only some light running tomorrow" or some shite like that. This apparently is a professional athlete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,446 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I remember people on here last season saying they would take Black over Davis in the SPL Easily 1 of the worst things I've ever read on here, it wasn't even just the odd person either.

Semper Paratus 72 127 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I thought he started off woefully, then progressed to not being interested whatsoever then he was weofully uninterested. He played better for 2 games but was still abysmal. He constantly stands over almost every single freekick yet I think only 2 decent things have became of his attempts. I'm yet to see what he offers or brings to our team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what he done to Walters double winning team. He has a horrible habit of making decent to good players look utterly inept. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
