ianferguson 2,619 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Foster was actually one of the better players out there.Maybe but bottom line is that under no pressure at all he gave the ball away for third and that's what killed the tie. We've seen it a hundred times with Foster who is a good athlete but looks like a rabbit in headlights when he gets the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 He might still take us through on Sunday but he's not the answer, that's for sure.You're better off avoiding RM till you sober up lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1873bear 192 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 McCall came in & has been a lot better than the three stooges, he isn't the man for the job long term and that's what we need a long term manager who can revamp the club from the youths to the first team because we are rotten at every level.Last game on Sunday I hope.

Gary-Rangers1 33 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 But what if each manager is a poor appointment? Should we just support them blindly regardless of everything pointing us the other way? We have seen 3 absolutely disastrous managerial appointments one after the other. There was nothing to suggest any of the 3 of tem should have been given the jobs in the first place. These were poor decisions from the very top. Not the fans fault, not even the managers fault. It's people above them making dreadful decisions. The scary thing here is it was 3 different owners and boards who made 3 equally as poor decisions. Fans shouldn't have to put up with poor or in this case wrong decisions by football boards. Their voice must be heard. True. However why is the manager poor the now. He's playing with a team of shit he's not even picked, surely any manager should be giving a transfer windowTo be fair after the way the team was with mccoist we are lucky to even get this far, I would be giving him a chance regardlessAfter all Motherwell never played to bad last night and he Probley bought in a lot of those cunts lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullies_bowly_legs 3,852 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Too many hiding, players in the wrong place either the fault of tactics or poor discipline and still think we could get a lot more out of certain high paid players. Trying to remember if Law has ever had a good game for us yet he always seems to be in the team. We all agree Foster can't play a decent pass especially in the opposition half but has probably the best pace in the team so why not use him as a sweeper if we do not play a holding midfielder. Does not matter what formation we play as the midfield just seem to wander about all over the bloody place and the points about the types of balls to Boyd or Clark from the OP are spot on.Only thing we can hope for is Motherwell have a nose bleed being so close and we get an early goal. The manager has to go for it now and play wingers not overlapping full backs with 2 in the middle that can at least head the ball. Boyd and Moshni anyone - scares me so might scare Motherwell.

blueretro 704 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Like when? He's gash, never a player.Here's a link to the highlights:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/3292589830 second: Law chance, Foster runs down the wing, pulls a shite cross back, ball breaks luckily to Law who shoots... then Foster, who was off the field at the time of the shot, laughably runs to collect the ball... YOUR OFF FUCKING SIDE SON. Vuckic is gesturing to him to leave it.... He doesn't even know the rules.58 sec: Motherwell 1st Goal: Tbf, attack came from the left side but he's so far up the pitch Vuckic is back covering for him, he's nowhere to be seen for Motherwells 1st.1min 55: Motherwell 2nd goal: Not the main culprit but 1 of the players in the centre of the box who failed to jump and challenge McManus.2 mins 20: Motherwell 3rd goal: His fault. Law offers him up the outside leaving a gap in the centre of midfield, plays a shite pass across the face to Murdoch, pish ball is off target, and Motherwell are away 3 vs 2. (By the time his piss pass is intercepted, he's standing in Motherwell's D).The very next highlight is another Motherwell raid our down the right, with Foster nowhere to be seen. Law tries to cover for him and falls on his arse. Ainsworth misses an open goal from the penalty spot. Should have been 4, and would have been Fosters fault, again.And that's just from a 3min highlight reel. He's fucking shocking, and a liability.The thing is Foster wasn't offside. He didn't come back on until after the Motherwell keeper touched the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent months whilst Ally and Kenny were here telling us all what was wrong and what they should be doing and then came in and made exactly the same mistakes as them! McCalls failings is not a poor squad or rubbish players, it's Stuart McCall. He picks the team. A squad of over 30 players and he picks the same favourites every week, like Ally did. They let him down, he picks them again, they let him down again, he picks them again. It's awful management. No, not all managers should be given a transfer window. Not at all. His contract is till the seasons end. That is it. He's done enough damage to confirm his sceptics worst fears. Giving him funds to make even more mistakes, prolonging our agony under him would be suicide. It's too easy now to blame McCoist because people want to give McCall a chance, why? What has McCall done to merit this chance? His record so far is worse than Le Guens, Greigs and McCoists! Regardless of personnel. His decision making is dreadful. It's his Motherwell who were fighting relegation and who may well go down come Sunday. That will be his legacy at Motherwell. Walking away leaving them in a dog fight with a possible relegation. Horrible. There is nothing he can do on Sunday to merit getting the job. The damage is done. We have seen how he operates, how he plays, what he thinks and what he says. It's not good enough.

UnionMen 411 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 The thing is Foster wasn't offside. He didn't come back on until after the Motherwell keeper touched the ball.Ofcourse he was offside, being off the pitch doesn't discount you from being offside otherwise poachers would just stand 1 yard off the field or even in the goals to bypass the rule.

gersandy 594 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Dont agree with some of your post. But we do need a new manager with fresh ideas and a whole new playing squad. A stipulation for the job must be that they dont have ANY previous ties with Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't offside, he didn't attempt to get involved until after the keeper played the ball. You cannot be offside if you're not on the pitch.I remember years ago John Greig scoring under the same circumstances. It was a cup final against Aberdeen. The goal was chalked off and Greig was booked for ungentlemanly conduct. He wasn't offside though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could bypass the offside rule by being off the park then you could just stick someone like Boyd up top and ask him to stand 1 yard past the byline and latch on top passes behind the defence by running on the field the second the ball is played.

What's your point exactly? He played well or i'm being harsh on him for potentially costing us promotion due to his inability to make a simple pass and being totally vote of tactical awareness?

Let me get this right, you're saying if a players momentum takes him past the byline, if the ball is played towards him he can back on the field of play to gain possession and by-pass the offside rule as he was off the park?
