Yes, literally every single football fan in Scotland is an idiot, other than Rangers' fans.

It's a measure of how disliked you are: that every other fan would take a drop in the standard of play just to see your shower gone, and run the risk of the entirety of Scottish football suffering.

Exactly. With no Rangers the chances of other teams winning trophies and finishing in the top two of the SPL increases. No Rangers = increased competition.

But when the prize for finishing second disappears then who will care where they finish?

Scotland will soon get 1 champions league place, and be entered unseeded at the 1st qualifier. Europa League will be the same. Say hello to the season starting in June <ok>

That'll likely be the case if Rangers survive so what's your point?

I think it's fair play guys.

Fighting for 2nd. Fighting for a win. Fighting to keep their history. Fighting for existence. Let them have their moment, especially as it shows how far they've fallen in such a short amount of time. The 'People's Club', resorting to celebrating their rival's defeat to a team they themselves can't win against, only 1 day after they've taken yet another shafting from a team we pumped 4 nil the week before.

Best part was "we don't do walking away", yet by the 85th minute most of them had f***ed off to thumb their lift back down the road.

How long though will it be before Sally's head is being called for? Surely they aren't that thick they seriously think he's doing a good job!? Only reason he's being allowed to stuble from one defeat to the next is the whole "tough season" + "club legend" equation.
I enjoy seeing his line ups now, in which he can just give any wee guy a game just so long as they bring their boots, because he knows all the apologists will cover his fat a*** due to the current club woes.

Superhoops' slightly better educated brother makes an appearance.

So in your opinion Ally is doing a really bad job that there can be no excuses for but on the other hand he is struggling to get a team out on the park.

Hmmm.

Is this accurate for every team in the SPL? Think you'll find other teams are hugely reliant on TV money.

There will still be a tv deal for which the 10 clubs in the SPL are looking to secure an equal share rather than the present deal that gives Celtic and Rangers a significantly higher percentage. These clubs are in a strong position to negotiate this deal with Celtic and indeed, Celtic may be willing to accede to this demand to ensure a smooth transition to the post Rangers era. This means that all clubs with the exception of Celtic shall have even more TV money than at present.

Allied to this, there would be an increase in gate money as teams in with a shout of winning things demonstrably improves and improved chances of competing in europe (even an untelevised qualifier secures decent money).

Didn't struggle to get a team out against Maribor, Malmo or Falkirk.

One average full back was on more wages than the whole Maribor team.

He's an awful manager and had one of the most expensively assembled squads in the history of the Scottish game at the start of the season.

Now, he's struggling to fill a subs bench and his team are routinely losing league games in an almost unprecidented manner (never lost four home games in a row?)

Glad we cleared that up <ok>

Struggling to get a team on the park? He left your top record-international goalscorer on the bench, along with the player who has been your best performer since he joined the club, for some Man City reject no one knew existed and Super Andy Little, who is utterly s****.

He's giving games to any f***** because he knows the moment he starts paying the players who up until January could win games, the knives will come back out. Right now he can use the whole 'club in crisis' to fob off any accusations that he is anything other than a club legend trying his hardest in an otherwise impossible situation. The same as last summer when he could go out and buy several players and yet not even play half of them. He's useless.

You still have 2nd to play for (not much, granted) yet there's Super Ally playing any guy that turns up, because he knows all you plums will buy the 'club legend' b*ll*cks. Lennon had a tougher season last year, by miles, and accomplished far more than fat boy has, or ever will, yet you all slated him. How come you all can't wait to hang out the back of Sally even when the fat idiots making things worse!?

Anyway, glad i could run it by you, ya f***** genius.
 
Irony from the Rangers fans again.

Making a point about the standard of the SPL post-Rangers? That didn't seem to bother you when "Sir" Walter was parking the bus game after game after game.

Some of you didn't like the style/ standard but couldn't give two hoots because you were winning. Now all of a sudden, we hear you blabbing about standards?

<laugh>

****ing genius....

First season in management - how'd Neil 'The Saviour of the Tims' Lennon get on in his first season with his own team? Europe? The league? Cups? Let's not forget Ross County the season prior.......

He won a runners up prize of the scottish cup. Now he's the greatest thing since potatoes. Granted Ally won't even do that but he deserves a fair crack at the whip or we'll never know.



Poor, dumb animals.

Lost the league by a point.

Lost the League Cup by the width of a post in Extra Time.

Won the Cup.

Survived <ok>


How did Ally get on this year?
 
Oh well, look on the bright side huns. That's you officially in administration now. Something worth celebrating surely?
