SteveJ 743 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm sure Kenny knows where he should have been himself.Only doubt would have been whether Ally wanted him to play centre back or goalkeeper. If Miller had come on for Boyd or Clark, then the substitution would have been self explanatory but I am sure Boyd & Clark would like to have known if they were going 4-3-3 (as if!) or 4-3-1-2 etc.You do know there's plenty reasons to criticise the manager without resorting to just making up bullshit.Right, so I am talking pish then, making it up and this did not happen?I am sure there are other ways you can keep your head in the sand!

Nicika Jelavic 7 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Presumptuous gossip, Ally deserves his fair share of criticism, but not for yesterday. Both his subs scored almost immediately and even Ian Black put in a decent shift. Criticism where it's due, but praise also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It was obvious to any fan of football Miller was on to provide an outlet and hold the ball up the park or in their half, and if he was able to hold it and create any chances it would be a bonus. What else was he going to do ? Run the midfield ? Marshall the defence ? Stand next to the goalie and advise him where to position himself ? Football sometimes just isn't that complicated, and every pro knows the basics. And even most of us amateurs know those basics too.Does anyone seriously believe Miller did not know what his role was in a situation where we were a goal ahead with a short time to play ? As it was he did perfect, job done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackedactor 157 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It wasn't a tactical substitution, Templeton came off and immediately had an ice pack on his right ankle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I have it on good authority that teammates were asking him if the wages were in the bank! Kenny was simply telling them he didn`t know as he hadn`t been to the cashcard machine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,462 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 A lip-reading expert wasn't required.Kenny Miller could clearly be seen shaking his head and saying "I don't know" to several Rangers players.The players could have been asking "What is up with Temps?"

Dietspam 733 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Maybe they were asking him what happened to Temps and he simply said I dunno... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,537 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Should he get credit for setting up badly nd correcting it?Or chastised for starting badly to begin with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Personally, I thought his tactics were shocking. The last few games at home we looked to have turned a corner, playing the ball on the deck and at least trying to move it quickly and the movement of Boyd and Clark paid dividends. Yet, for some reason, we decided to completely cast that aside and smash the ball up to Boyd who stays the same height while jumping? Why? Finally some football getting played and we resort to long balls after two encouraging home games. Simonsen last week never once went long, this week, within the first 10 minutes, the entire back 4 pumped it long. Baffling. Did Ally highlight QOS weakness for long balls? Because we didn't win one all game? The subs baffled me slightly, happy he changed it at half time, but I can't believe he took Zal off, he certainly wasn't any worse the Moshni. He said it was to change the shape, but the shape was the exact same, he just needed to keep Jig on the park. Straight swap for black. Temps was a good call, but I have no idea why he doesn't start? I'd personally play him every week regardless of form. Plusses - good second half and comeback, once we got the ball on the deck Clark looked like a player again, he needs to stay in that team. Negatives - everything else, mainly moshni's performance and I like the big man, but fuck me. Awful to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullyRFC 5,230 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Cannae believe we scored from a corner. At last practicing taking shite corners has paid off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Should he get credit for setting up badly nd correcting it?Or chastised for starting badly to begin with?That's highly unfair in this instance.He set the team up fine, there were no changes to the team that just won three on the bounce, He realised the center backs were having a nightmare and made early substitutions to rectify it. And it worked, we were instantly rewarded, and went on to win the game comfortably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brubear 2,920 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thought ally got it spot on yesterday, just my opinionTotally agree Not a great fan of Ally but for once he changed things at half-time and turned the game around We need to give credit where it is due Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-Penny 31 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I would have thought someone would have posted by now but clearly not - as I cannot find it.If you were watching yesterday, as Ally put Kenny on, he did the classic mistake of not telling the player where he was going on the park! You could clearly see Kenny being asked by players what the plan was and he looked the bench and shrugged his shoulders, as if to state he had no clue.Sums it up for me. We might have been in the driving seat at that point but if you are going to make a substitution, tell the lad where the hell he is playing and if there is a need for others to move positions, they need to know also. Agree with your point but, surely such a seasoned player would ask such a question if he wasn't told before going on the park? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicika Jelavic 7 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 See #25Fucking hell, I'm not saying the first half performance was ideal, if you actually read my post you'd be able to see I said Ally deserves praise for making a change to the utter dross we witnessed in the first half, which consequently won us the game.

SteveJ 743 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Agree with your point but, surely such a seasoned player would ask such a question if he wasn't told before going on the park?So it is the players fault that he found himself on the park replacing a midfielder and not knowing the wishes of the MANAGER? I think not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
