heynow2005 Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Jeeso. This is fake news ...he was asked a question and he answered honestly. Don't blame Greer, blame our absolutely horrendous media. Ps. Pretty sure rangers are aware (as are most) of the great start Steve Clarke has made so it's not like it's a huge secret and GG has let the cat out the bag -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrogate Peter Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 The trouble is that everything in the media about Scottish football gets related to or revolves around the twisted sisters!! I know that they're huge clubs compared with the rest but I'm sick of it and after this post (other than rejoicing at our third home win in a row next week) I intend to give them as much or as little attention as I give any other team in the league other than Ayrshire's finest! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesper Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 That reads to me as he's just "bigging-up" Clarke to be honest, saying he has the credentials to be at a bigger* club. Saying that though, I'm not a great fan of GG. Yes, his signing did seem to shore-up our defence a bit. But, I think he's divisive and not great for the dressing room. The way he acted with Lee McCulloch in charge, the reports that he took-over the team talks at half-time and also undermined the tactics/instruction LM had given is a poor show, whether LM was out his depth or not. He seems like a bit of a Bertie big bollocks that's only to happy to open his mouth and give his opinion (as this column suggests - and also the other one at the start of the season slating his team-mates). Not absolutely sure why he thinks he has that place to be that way, playing for Blackburn is decent yeah, but it's no Barcelona or Milan (and he's no Pique or Maldini) so should maybe wind his neck in a bit at times. I won't be overly sad to see him go in January, particularly if Scott Boyd can play (and build on) they way he played today. *subjective and open to interpretation. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten times worse when Killie bigots spout it for them. Behave yourself. That was a pretty light-hearted way of saying Clarke is a Celtic fan (which he is) and in no way was bigoted/inflammatory. You're just looking to be offended if you took anything else from that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've read on here that one brother used to play for us and the other (or both!) regularly attend/are season ticket holders at RP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That surprised me, however Lee realised that himself and went with no fuss and that allowed us to bring Stevie and Alex in. Some things are meant to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think GG should be criticised for trying to improve the mess. I agree LM was out his depth and, lovely guy or not, he did the right and gracious thing by walking. But two things: 1) If a manager isn't performing, it's not for his staff to undermine him and tell the rest of the team how he thinks they should play. It's the job of the manager's superiors (the Board) to have that discussion - that's why there's a hierarchy. 2) What good did "going public" like this: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1544018/kilmarnock-gordon-greer-deserve-lose-motherwell/ do? Why slate your team-mates to the press? Nor was he club captain, so why did he feel it was his place to be so outspoken? He strikes me as an outspoken troublemaker, and whilst he came in and provided a degree of solidity to our defence initially, I don't think we'll miss him if he leaves in January. Either through Scott Boyd stepping-up, or through Clarke using his contacts/influence to bring in a Mulumbu-type central defender that once-upon-a-time was out of our league to attract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either through Scott Boyd stepping-up, or through Clarke using his contacts/influence to bring in a Mulumbu-type central defender that once-upon-a-time was out of our league to attract. He was at Brighton for years and, I believe, was club captain for some of them. That doesn't strike me as someone who is an outspoken troublemaker. If your boss told you to do things that you believed were fundamentally wrong would you just do them or would you say something? I don't know the ins and outs of the Killie dressing room but given the career he has had and the way he kept himself fit Greer appeared to be a very good professional. McCulloch, gracious or not as we don't know the terms of his departure, was not a good manager. What he was doing was not working and I don't think Greer should be criticised for realising that and trying to get a reaction from the players - a reaction that the manager certainly wasn't getting. I'd also like to think that come January Clarke will be able to find a better option than a 37 year old who commutes from the south coast of England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 We will now have 5 or so days of different "loaded" articles in the press in line with our next opponents ......likes of Burke, Broadfoot and K Boyd will be much in demand for comments about "that team" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
