Dons_1988 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It seems he has the small seeds of a valid point in his head that it wasn't necessarily a tactical masterclass by Rodgers that won Celtic the game. He has however been unable to to then understand the difference between luck and Celtic having better players than Rangers. The fact that Goss missed a tackle and Rogic scored a belter, that Morelos missed a sitter, that Goss couldn't get near Edouard points to the fact that the Celtic players are better and thats what won them the game. Maybe he does understand that but puts it down to "luck" that rangers were victimised by the powers that be when they were "demoted" and thats why they find themselves behind celtic? Well yes, the fundamental point that there’s an element of luck in most managerial decisions is valid.He’s just unable to articulate anything in a coherent way to support it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just unable to articulate anything in a coherent way to support it. The reality of course is that Ferguson won't have written an article in any real sense at all. He'll have grunted some ignorant drivel to a hack who won't have looked for justification or coherence. He'll just have found enough stuff from which an angle and a headline can be eked out. It's really just pitiful platitudes for the stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 That fucking article man..... Holy shit. So much of it is copy and paste worthy to laugh at in here but surely the best example of something being absolutely NOTHING to do with luck is...... Quote They got another break early in the game when Goss was too inexperienced to realise he had to take one for the team when the ball broke to Tom Rogic seconds before the Australian curled home Celtic’s first goal. Celtic are lucky that Goss is to inexperienced. He really might aswell be saying if the Rangers keeper had saved all the Celtic shots we would have won 2-0. Then theres the bit where he acknowledges the changes Rodgers made (not luck) and spouts off about how if Rangers had won 3-2 Rodgers would be having to answer for those changes.... So if they don't work he has to answer for them, but since they did it was purely luck? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 With that stunning insight into the game it's a wonder why Wee Barry can't get a job in management. It must be part of that papal conspiracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Barry Ferguson has been the subject of many of my favourite entries in this thread. Whether it's friendly journalists scrambling to make excuses for his abysmal efforts as Clyde manager or his own begging for a job at Rangers it's always bad to the point of hilarity, but the absolute highlight has to be when he opened an article with an anecdote about not being able to find cereal in a supermarket and threatening to assault a child. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forfarton Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 BBC's match report of Brechin v Dumbarton today states: Brechin 1-3 Dumbarton Scorers - Brechin - Storie (38'minutes); Dumbarton - Gallagher (11'minutes), Crighton (24'minutes og), Handling (43'minutes) Then the match report states: "Dimitris Froxylias scored the only goal of the game against Brechin to boost Dumbarton's hopes of avoiding the Championship relegation play-off. The Cypriot slotted home Andy Stirling's pass after 37 minutes. Stirling had already fired wide during the opening exchanges, and Liam Dick saw an effort blocked as the hosts started strongly. Dumbarton hooked the ball off the line shortly before Froxylias struck at the other end. Brechin tried to rally but were unable to convert some late pressure into a clear chance and remain without a league win this season." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43354327 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
