glasgowrangersno1 468 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hear this all the time. Thing is, who exactly labeled our football 'anti-football'? Messi? Tims? Other SPL fans?Do you not think that Arsenal, City, Everton fans etc. maybe talk about Chelsea being anti-football?Was originally coined by Barca after a game against....yes, Celtic From Wikipedia:In November 2004, Frank Rijkaard described Celtic's style of play as anti-football after FC Barcelona's Champions League match with the Glasgow side.

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Strange how 'anti-football' is acceptable all of a sudden but when we have faced it all season and not scored 5/6 goals against a ten man defence,we slaughter our team.This in no way is in support of Ally as Manager.

downviewbear 137 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Much more than Scottish mhedia yeah but i still don't think we got the credit they gave English clubs like Fulham or Middlesbrough when they also reached the UEFA cup finalWe definately didnt get the credit the scum got for getting to the final.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It's only negative if it's Rangers with 11 mean behind the ball.... But as all the FM2014 managers on here tell us when other teams do that against us it should be easy to score 4-5 goals against opposition that park the bus. !!!

It's not irony.When you've got a team full of professionals who can't pass the ball two yards in front of them without giving the ball away somethings wrong. Once again, we have the second highest budget in Scottish football and play postmen every week. Do yourself a favour and open your fucking eyes.

Ally's tactics are turgid cowardly pish and you embarrass yourself day in day out trying to justify them!Exactly.People's problem is with the way we play. Teams in this league are going to park the bus, people accept that, but we aren't exactly trying to be patient and break them down by moving the ball on the deck at pace waiting for an opening are we? We either hoof the long ball to Daly or hope to deliver a decent set piece to try and score. It's no wonder the fans want better.I watched Leyton Orient vs Wolves the other day and they both looked to keep the ball on the deck as often as possible. It was night and day to anything we serve up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain1712 336 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 2 yards really !! Are you trying to suggest that all postmen are shite footballers ? Every team in the league has now sussed out our weakness, if they 'park the bus' we are just not good enough to break them down. Therefore the game ends up turgid and we eventually adopt the long ball game because we can't play through teams. That is the facts why bother moaning about it,our team is good enough to be winning this league at a canter but when we come up against negative tactics it shows how far we have to go.

Guardian 4,281 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 You have to use what you have and play to your strengths whilst stopping the opposition playing to theirs.Whilst it's a wee bit disappointing for Chelsea to do it as they have great players I can understand why he did it. Chelsea fans won't care as long as they go thru. What's the alternative ? Open the game up and get papped out ?I know which one the Chelsea fans will go for. As for Walter he was simply using what he had in the best fashion possible. We contained the opposition and got a few lucky breaks. Unfortunately that tactic doesn't work against a really good team and we eventually met one in the final. We weren't good enough to contain them and paid the price.There is almost always an element of anti football in any game.Winding down the clock, slowing the pace down, time wasting etcI doubt Jose will be hurting over the jibes Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalfollower 1,543 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Its not anti football though. Only sour grapes think differently.
