TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 There's no massive disadvantage thoYou weigh it up against the other factors and no wonder people are furiousA disadvantage is a disadvantage. Why risk it when we don't need to? It's called being professional, the very thing people throw at McCoist as something he isn't. McCoist owes the fans nothing more than 3 points out of this fixture, and postponing it will give us a better chance while showing our opponents a bit of respect. It's nothing to do with bottling against Dunfermline or any other nonsense, it's about doing what's best for the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 If the game really mattered I could see that, but realistically it doesn't. Also, realistically the team that would be fielded will still be streets ahead. Combine those 2 factors and I think it's an overreaction.An overreaction in what way?

folkestoneger 8,138 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 No problems with anyone holding those views, but none of it justifies some of the language towards him. I doubt you'd use some of the disrespectful shit on here to his face.I did say earlier I did not agree wit personal attacks on him as a man even though I was guilty of saying he was a shite manager.In all honesty if he asked me what I though of his managerial skills my reply would be along the lines of "you will always be a legend but sorry I don't think you have got it as a manager".I am sure he would be pissed off but it would be an honest answer and I think he would accept it as that.

ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ffs 50 lads from Hamburg booked up and coming over too Gets betterMaybe McCoist can refund their travel out of his 750k a yearHopefully the ones that do still make the trip have a decent weekend, they had quite a good weekend planned out.

Who's to say they don't have bad games and the ones who would step in don't take their opportunity with both hands?You can't have it all ways defending the manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirdrieRangers 4 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Not really happy about this cause I had a full day planned because of the 5.30 kick off but we have a right to cancel it because of internations and we'd all moan if we dropped point.If we win the re-arranged game it will have been the right decision.

It's a disadvantage in terms of having fewer first team players available to us than we otherwise would have. Any manager would have asked for a postponement if they had at least 3 players away on International duty Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,534 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 An overreaction in what way?An overreaction to the postponement, or more accurately an unnecessary reaction to it based on the fact that the the game is meaningless (in the strict sense of what a win or a loss will achieve or cause) and and our squad is so vastly superior. Also the fact that it's at Ibrox, I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kplfishtank 4,656 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 correct decision, we are giving the teams in the league respect they deserve.feel for fans who book trips and gets moved, its happened to me following City , but unfortunatley it does happen and if honest everyone has known for full season that international games were on these dates, what we never knew till this week is that we would have players chosen to represent their country and thats why the postponement is so late Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
