Warbs talks lockdown form, signings, contracts and defence — Interview
at 06:56 10 Sep 2020

I'm always surprised that fans are shocked by a manager backing his players. You can think that player x is completely useless, the manager may even share your opinion, however if the manager is relying on that player to do a job this season then he can hardly come out and say, 'yeah, fair point, he is shocking isn't he?!'

I'm glad to see the manager being a little tetchy to be honest, perhaps (unlikely) it will get some fans to hold back and think before throwing a whole load of criticism in the direction of the players. There is an illusion amongst football fans that footballers should be remain completely unaffected by criticism. They get paid enough, deal with it. It is the biggest load of rubbish out there. Good players can be turned to bad by constant criticism. I'm not and never was a good footballer, however I once played for a manager who berated every poor pass/decision the team made. The outcome? If you get a chance to play a defence splitting ball that has a 50% chance of coming off, you instead stick to the safe pass sideways to avoid the barrage of abuse you will get if it doesn't. If you believe that is any different in the professional game you're wrong.

Friends who are Luton fans (I know...) said he was a great player in easy wins and completely missing in difficult games. Not sure that is enough to write him off completely but it doesn't fill me with too much confidence

Finney’s finest hour
at 13:47 5 Jul 2020

Unpopular opinion time, I think Finney's 'passion' gets in the way of conversation on too many occasions. I am not doubting he is a good guy, I am not doubting he loves Rangers, but I find it a little cringey that things are either the best they have ever been or the worst. There doesn't seem to be a reasoned in between from him.
