Bazzas right boot Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I have found him a very fair pundit. In the championship last time he was a gent. For Scotland , he doesn't care about the arse cheeks. He is a ranger *****, but for the last 3/4 years he's been ok and as a player, despite ****ing us he was always ok. HH was a bombs care, not his fault tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his tales are class. Following the sad news about Sir Sean's passing, he was talking about France '98 and how he had the talk show with Fred MacAuley since he didn't make the squad. After the show he was in the Auld Alliance which was rammed. The karaoke was on and Ally opted for Born To Run by The Boss. He looked over his shoulder and his backing singers consisted of Kenny Dalglish, Ewan MacGregor, Gavin Hastings, Jackie Stewart and Sean Connery (with his top off)! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Ally is one of the good guys. Was talking to the Mrs about him on Friday when he was interviewed on STV news. He had a big cheeser on his face and a glow that looked like Raman had interrupted his Friday evening red wine. Was hard to hate him even when he was banging in goals against us. That Hearty Harry thing was surreal. IIRC it was the week before the LC final where he scored two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlo Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 He had a very annoying habit of scoring against us back in the day but McCoist has always come across as a good guy and doesn't take himself too seriously unlike so many of the other pundits.

AlimOzturk Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 McCoist always seems fair and balanced and has a funny personality. Took Rangers for everything they had and the way he was treated by their fans must have left a sour taste in his mouth considering everything he did for them as a player.

Top lad Ally and that story about him singing in Paris was class. “Even Bruce Springsteen wouldve toiled to get better backing singers than that” It’s things like that we’ve missed as a nation not qualifying for tournaments.

Herbert. Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 He was a wee bit bitter when he was the rangers manager but always seemed a good guy apart from that.

Fort Vallance Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Met him a few times at dinners etc. And he's a lovely guy.

Locky Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 One of they guys you just can't dislike IMO.

Spellczech Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Still cannot believe they started Alan McNully (as the Bayern fans called him) instead of McCoist in the Costa Rica debacle and then to bring him on for Bett and leave a bunch of midfielders who weren't exactly creative to supply 3 strikers... A shambles that Clarke's subs last week came very close to topping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's told the story about the Hearty Harry appearance on the radio too. It was off the cuff and unplanned. He said he was out in Rose Street that afternoon and ended up going to our game. After catching a glimpse of Harry in hospitality, Ally said he fancied getting the outfit on and going out at halftime. His story about the owner of Mr Singh's naming his newborn after the first Rangers goalscorer in an Old Firm game is class too. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
