DAVIE8CH 296 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 if this was the way we won promotion we would accept it as that is our ambition to get to the top division, but as a statement it is totally unacceptable to say we would settle for second place this early in the season. as a side could Ally be trying to get out of his job with some of his statements ?

Nae bother. Shiels and Law were in the SPL team of the year before they came here. Zaliukas, Mohsni, Black and Miller all internationals or have been at some point. Templeton cost us near enough £1 million. Boyd and Daly proven goal scoreres in Scottish football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Journos asked him a shite question, Ally answers back with - if we get up, we'll take it. No real issues with that, it isn't acceptable but we do need to get back up this year as champions if we have any shred of credibility left. I tend to ignore McCoists interviews, it's usually bland, boring or a statement that completely sits on the fence and offers zero insight into his thinking or plans. When he does say something it's so basic you can't really argue with the point he's made, he plays that role well, he'll always get in front of a mic and anyone would be hard pressed to call him on something he's just said, mainly because it's a vaugue statement that encompasses the whole teams failings and then he highlights the other teams willingness to work hard and congratulates them. I would love to ask him why the fuck he thought he'd leave temps on the bench, Aird on the bench and play two players out wide who aren't wide men? What purpose did that serve? If you don't rate temps and Aird, why punt McKay out on loan and then be left with Peralta and smith out fucking wide? baffling. This interview is the tip of the iceberg for most on here, we've been saying for years he's devoid of ideas, fresh coaching methods and management ability. Ach well, he's lucky we've got the worst board/investors in history that the constant turmoil off field is taking precedence over the on field issues. The fans need something to rally behind, McCoist has driven the chance of a complete rebuild out the window, now we need someone with a proven track record at coaching and progressing players. Not easy to come by. Having said that, 3-1 to the gers the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
