NeoGeo7 11,279 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Take a look at the expression on the faces of the players in the first link:http://rangers.co.uk/news/galleries/item/9384-gallery-pre-playoff-trainingThen compare it to the second link from November and see the difference:http://rangers.co.uk/news/galleries/item/8052-training-galleryAbsolutely night and day. Regardless of your views on McCall's suitability for the long term I think if we had him and Kenny Black in at the start of the season we'd have won the league with this team.I suppose the one positive is that its crunch time and it looks like we've got the right attitude at the right time.Still makes my blood boil when you see McCoist laughing away with the players when we were in a sorry state.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 It helps to be happy at your work but I think Ally and co went a wee bit overboard.I'm sure if you ask any of the current squad if they've learned anything new since McCall came in they would say a lot.

McCall has at the very least managed to motivate a squad that now appear to respect him, not muck around with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I can mind an interview where a player used a nickname for him.Team bonding and spirit is all good and we should have it but it was basically just a carry on for them, like at school when the teacher left the class and you started lobbing bits of paper about and hitting the fatty next to you with your ruler.

Guest Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Tbh i dont see much of a difference in their faces. I can see it on the pitch right enough.Ally was a shite manager and is acting the right cunt about this payoff. But i doubt half the stories about his training etc, i just think he wasnt very good.

I was at MP to meet the players and Ally with a bunch of terminally ill and disabled children. Ally turned up late and didn't even take a second to talk to anybody or sign any of the kids autograph books. He was also very clearly hungover. Disgraceful if you ask me. There is also another poster on here, can't mind their name, but it was a girl anyway who can vouch for what I've said here. Also, am not an Ally hater, he was my hero growing up and I still respect him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Templeton or Shiels, I think. Comments were quoted in the media shortly after McCall took charge.If it was Templeton, maybe that is why he's apparently been frozen out. I seem to remember McCall saying the comments were disrespectful. McCall and Ally are obviously good pals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Dunno Shiels looks like he's struggling in them both , maybe he was putting in more effort than the rest when Ally was here and now the rest of the team have caught up with him , or it could be the opposite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvern 11,329 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It looks like the players are actually training to win a match, makes a nice change. Still a few smiley photos wouldn't go amiss so we didn't think the poor wee lambs were being asked to do too much for their wad every week.

Dubaijim 44 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Recall a photo during McCoist's time with McCulloch's elbow leaning on McCoist's shoulder while talking on his mobile - during a training session!!!!!

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Folk read far to much into a photo on here - it could be that 2 minutes later they are all laughing - ditto with the photo of The squad laughing during ally's time - 30 seconds later they could all be serious again. Haters hate - some on this thread, including the OP prove that time and again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
