Adoniram 1,919 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Normally I would just include this in one of the many posts about McCoist but I think this is too important a point to be lost in other threads.Michael Stewart was on sportsound yesterday and he states a point he and others in the game have noticed about Rangers.Their claim is that the team is suitably trained, is fit but isn't coached. Now think about that for a second....isn't coached. What does that mean though?Listen to the points he makes and then tell me McCoist is coaching this team. I personally agree with every word he says as it's blatantly obvious to anyone with a modicum of footballing knowledge.http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/scotfoot20min 27secs Stewart mentions the "having words" issue.23mins 30secs he slaughters McCoist on the lack of style and coaching Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Oh joy - Michael Stewart - that top class footballer and world renowned coach (sic) is suddenly a credible critic of any manager, let alone our manager - how low do the Ally haters have to stoop - pretty low based on this evidence.

Carsons Army 4,146 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 How's it allys fault if grown men can't pass the ball?Because they don't have several options for simple passesbecause they are not coached properly and the movement of the team is poorbecause there is no system of play and no method of playWe seem to be too happy to lump high balls to a lone striker without adequate support.

Johnstone Burgh 1,637 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Oh joy - Michael Stewart - that top class footballer and world renowned coach (sic) is suddenly a credible critic of any manager, let alone our manager - how low do the Ally haters have to stoop - pretty low based on this evidence.You don't have to be a 'world renowned coach' to criticise bad coaching. It's like saying you can't go out and have a bad meal and criticise the chef becaue you aren't a professional chef. Anyway, Ally is hardly 'world renowned' for his managerial abilities.

I believe he trained at Ibrox as a kid but decided on Man Utd instead and was wanted by numerous other teams Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron1873 510 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The fact is there is no style of play.Byt tbf to ally I dont think the players we have are ideal for nice one touch football. Especially with Daly upfront. Sometimes you have to play with what we have and that is only free transfers, you cant expect too much Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehost 11,061 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Interesting to hear that ally doesn't like hearing from ex pros if they aint blowing smoke up his erchie so much so that he tells him he will be having a word Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not his job to show big boys how to pass to each other..Football players should know how to do thatSo what is our system then? Lump the ball long to a static Daly and do not offer any real support?According to Ally we play a narrow midfield but our 2 wide players seldom leave the touchline.McLeod steps inside when he gets the shout from Wallace but that only seems to happen on the left and is probably more down to Wallace and McLeod/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMateCharlie 228 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 was he referring to a world renowned manager? Naw didnae think so.Aye yer right he wasn't, he was referring to the below average player with no managerial experience. I'd rather take McCoist's way of doing things than some middle of the road journeyman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianb1547 3,767 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 You don't have to be a 'world renowned coach' to criticise bad coaching. It's like saying you can't go out and have a bad meal and criticise the chef becaue you aren't a professional chef. Anyway, Ally is hardly 'world renowned' for his managerial abilities.Alas, you seem to have forgotten that word.......credibility.If you are not a professional chef (to use your analogy) then you have no credibility to criticize a chef. That is totally different to saying that what the trained chef prepared was not to your particular taste. In short...your analogy is wrong.
