\u201cOffensively, in the first half, it was too much sideways, we couldn\u2019t get through them. Second half we got more penetrating passes and runs and then we opened them and got chances.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe should be more effective but some days it\u2019s like this and in the end it was nice to score, and I\u2019m also very happy for Callum who got his first competitive goal and has been very good in pre-season.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The manager added: \u201cI think he did well. There\u2019s a lot to improve but he is calm on the ball and he has a good understanding of the game.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s quick and I want him to be more direct in his play and get more links with the full back so we can get Emilio through on the sides.\u201d \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n So, on the one hand he’s telling the players to carry on as before, and then he moans about it being too much sideways. Surely if he had seen any of our games last season, on video-or dvd, as they call it these days-then he would have expected that ?<\/p>\n \u00a0Or, perhaps he told them not to do it, and they did it anyway.<\/p>\n \u00a0Jackie Charlton, when manager of Ireland, did a wee experiment during one game. He gave each player a word to remember, and at half time, he -unbeknown to them- would ask them what the word was.<\/p>\n \u00a0None of them could remember it, and Charltons argument was that there could be all the preparation in the world, but footballers are thick as the proverbial pig droppings, and will just spend an hour and a half chasing the ball no mater what you tell them.<\/p>\n \u00a0I think thats what happened last night. But, we won 1-0, so the other proverb, about not giving a flying feck at a rolling doughnut, springs to mind.<\/p>\n \u00a0And at \u00a32.25 a pint, its the same proverb.<\/p>\n \u00a0But , whilst at that particular hostelry, in order to dissuade hordes of attractive young women from asking for my phone number-it must work, no-ones asked me yet-I had a wee swatch at twitter, and it appears that Ronnie Mackay, who writes for the Sun, a popular down market tabloid, famous for girls with large chests and a brazen nationalistic attitude, has been whipping up a wee bit of angst against Angela Haggerty, who edited Phil MacGiollabhains \u00a0book ” “Downfall. ” the story of how Rangers killed themselves .<\/p>\n \u00a0Now, on line bullying isn’t particularly scary, but when a member of the fourth estate tries to whip up a campaign against someone, then its at best irresponsible, and at worst, deserving of a proper kicking on the car park before and a visit the day after to steal the security cameras.<\/p>\n \u00a0It all goes back to whenh the bold Angela went on the telly and pointed out that Rnagers, 1872, were in fact dead. Which is a bit like saying the yellow thing in the sky is the sun, and it provides light and warmth.<\/p>\n \u00a0Well, the newspaper that is named after the celestial object priovides none of its namesakes benefits, and Ronie Mackay, a journalist ( well, when I say journalist.. ) wasn’t overly happy with someone on the telly pointing out something that his paper had largely igored for a couple of years.<\/p>\n \u00a0He then tweted that she was a ” known Rangers hater “, before furiously back pedalling and saying that was used to be an Aberdeen fan, or whatever team it was that sprung into his mind while he was typing. And that he never saod that anyway…<\/p>\n He’s a journalist for the Sun. I wouldn’t believe him if he told me it was raining.<\/p>\n \u00a0Now, I couldn’t care less who he supports, and I couldn’t care less about who he picks on when he’s sitting at his keyboard. But calling out others to do his bullying for him ?<\/p>\n And then telling us he isn’t a Rangers fan, when “SFA Out “, on his ( or hers ) twitter timeline around 2012, seems to show otherwise…<\/p>\n Roy Greenslade of the Guardian covers the story here, meaning \u00a0he’ll be needing someone to check his mail before long….Seriously, the sooner that lot realise their club is dead, the sooner we can allow them a chance to rejoin civilisation.<\/p>\n
