Ally McCoist: I can take the flak – but I'll walk away from

[Wullies_bowly_legs 3,860]

I actually think the article was written with the consent of Ally. "Walking away" because the family members are getting affected is probably the only reason that would stop all the crap from both our own and other club supporters. I think he is preparing his means to get out without getting more stick from everyone. Imho.

Let's hope you are right, it would be really sad if Ally ruins all the good he has done over the years by stuberness now when he must know it is not working for him as a manager.

Loaded question, this just gives the green light to some nutters to target Ally's family in order to get rid of the man

That was my worry as soon as I read the OP.

Big HARD MAN ARE YOU.

the rangers PR job was tailor made for him, no one could do it better

[Getstiffed 8,863]

Nobody should be abusing his family over this and I don't believe the vast majority would disagree with this.

The question itself is loaded and unfortunately there are people so stupid that they'll take it as a cue to start the abuse.

Show displeasure at the man but leave his family out of it.

Im no fan of his.management but.some of the shite on here has been fenian like

King Jela Obsessed with Catholic schools...BAN THE BEAST!

You are a serious beamer goiny stop clogging up threads with your shite patter.

Ban you if anything.

I dont think it would cost a penny to sack him. Just tell him he has lost the board and the fans and here is your P45.

He can of course then go to court and sue but if there is any feeling for Rangers left in his soul he will not do so.

Are people really that eager to have a dig that their capacity to read is somehow affected?

Yes.

[gogzy 31,195]

You don't need to remind me of what I said, I KNOW exactly what I said thank you.

See you see it as a veiled dig, I see it as me saying you can do what you like. I don't need to reread the article. I read it. I made an opinion. You feel you have to correct every person that has done so. This is a factual point. Have a cup of tea and breathe.

He is completely right though STG, you have made your points ITT based on something Ally didn't say.

It has nothing to do with opinion.

[gogzy 31,195]

So I have had to delete about 80 posts from this thread because of the abusive pish aimed at each other.

If you can't be civil then be quiet, or bugger off to Off Topic. There is also an ignore function to use.

[JCDBigBear 10,835]

6 pages of a topic which has no substance and most of the posts basically off topic anyway.

Conditional walking away.

[johanhentze 14,298]

Why the fuck would he allow this to be printed? There will be people out there who see this as a way of getting him out.. Terrible judgement by Ally to even answer questions like that.

[Inigo 32,600]

The whole thread is based on a hypotheses which some of us merely continued. Not really hard to understand.

However, when asked if he’d have to reassess the situation if the levels of criticism started to have an effect on his family, McCoist said: “That’s different, there’s nothing more important than my family.”

By even answering that question he is opening up the story and pandering to the media, again.

A hypothesis! The answers are based on a misreading. You can't hypothesise anything about his family themselves being abused from what has actually been said.

I've heard it all now. A 'hypothetical' criticism! AKA a criticism of something he hasn't done or shown any sign of doing.

[Inigo 32,600]

Interwebz-Mob-Mentality is not gender-specific, Inigo. The point you were making wasn't just an opinion; it actually was the truth of the matter.

Your only fault on this thread was being too much of a gentleman towards sweettartangirl, which I found mildly sexist.

Lol. I thought the reaction was a bit excessive, but 'ignored' nonetheless.

C'est la vie.
