Alan does deserve respect. He also should call it a day. He was a pale imitation of what he was last season.Another year older can only mean diminished ability. The mistakes of last season largely and rightly got a pass by the support for who he is and what he's done over years for club.
Coming from you ffs? One of the biggest cranks on this forum
“Terrified” “Worried” “Trophy cabinets bare”
If you want to put on your goalie gloves and wank yourself red raw whilst whispering "shagger" over and over to yourself, feel free. The rest of us will stay in the real world of knowing that McGregor is done and sticking with him would be suicide.
Utter drivel
I don‘t get it either.
He cost us a load of points with horrendous individual howlers. If looking back on the number of times he’s saved us in previous seasons helps people feel better about losing the league to the fat Aussie then fair enough, it doesn’t work for me though.
We got gubbed by Hibs because Tav, Goldson and Balogun defended like a trio of amateurs. They made two bang average Hibs attackers look like world beaters.
Exactly.
A goalkeepers mistakes will always be highlighted.
Fair point. I still believe he would be great to keep in and around the dressing room and not a bad backup should he be needed. His heroics in Europe seem to be over looked by school boy errors at County.
If only it was just Ross County. Man is a Rangers legend and in the discussion with Goram for being best Rangers keeper. As someone that grew up watching Andy that is about as high a praise as you can give. But it's time for him to say goodbye. Wouldn't like to see him tarnish his reputation with the fans and things to turn a wee bit sour. As I say he got a pass last season. If similar was to happen this coming season and he is another year older so likelihood of improvement is small then he would get serious stick.
I'm not in the McGregor witch hunt club but what a player has done over the years should be irrelevant, there is no time for sentiment it's what level he is at now, and how he is performing should be the only defining factor on a new deal or not.
So you're saying he wouldn't be great to have in and around the dressing room and he should just be let go? The world class saves that he made took us to a European final, why are people disregarding that to focus on his errors?
It’s perhaps phrased poorly but it’s not sentiment, it’s just fact that he has been consistently an outstanding keeper.
How to derail a thread in 7 short words.Wait until McGregor signs his new deal
Some allow their disdain to cloud their rationality.
Could you accept that it could just as easily be said that it was points in other games where McGregor wasn’t at fault for lost goals and that, ultimately, it was these games that lost us the league?
There is no extent to agree with.
Hearts and Ross County, I’ll concede.
That’ll be because it’s a much more important skill.
Point one, it’s got to be okay to make mistakes.
Oh dear, didn’t read my post.I get you will go round all the houses to stick up for someone , and it is admirable, but it really makes no difference, a player makes a mistake at the most vital of times , and they were fucking howlers no matter how you dress it up , then it is a problem and more of a problem than someone making one in the early stages
Football is about big moments at crucial times of the game, Mistakes in 90+ minutes are , like it or not, moments that are unsalvageable or on the flip side like Ferguson's United, match winning and season defining moments.
Anyone watching McGregor last season will have seen a drop off from the season before, but that was fine in general, because it was just a drop, the mistakes though, especially Hearts and County, and they weren't the only 2 they were only the worst were not fine.
McGregor is a hall of famer, my favourite and our 2nd Best ever keeper for me, but time has come for us to move on with a keeper who the opposition won't target with cross balls and who won't make game defining mistakes which are now creeping into his game.
I get you would have him as number 1 until he is 60, all about opinions

TBF mate - both his errors in that game would have got him leathered in the showers at an amateur team.
