This 100%, take a trawl back through the memories...it was around this time that Ally was going to the races, not long after getting into a wee spot of bother with Durrant in EK, plus the other stuff that GS would have been aware of but didn't make newspapers. Ally needed to mature a bit and concentrate more on his craft, I believe GS went a long way to creating the Super Ally of 1990 onwards.Souness has said that he knew Ally had the skill but lacked the work ethic to be as good as he could, GS made him realise just what he had to do and Ally responded to the challenge, good management imho Mate.
If further proof was needed.
all of the above!! The most archetypal mentally challenged to this date, ridiculous lady's front bottom. One thing I see missing in the thread is that he was a f#cking awful player. They had Peter Grant, Anton Rogan, Owen Archdeacon, Lex Bailly- but no, it was the refs that beat themHe doesn’t half talk some shite.
1. Supporters buses turning up at Love Street AFTER they’d won the league. Nae bother Peter
2. 80,000 at the midden to see them win a league. Nonsense.
3. Other teams fans used to go and watch them cos they were so good. Pish.
After that I gave up. Peter Grant always was and always will be a tadger.
Exactly this. Peter Pointer was a shit football player.Souness wouldn't have had a fucking clue who that no-mark was, never mind shown him respect.
He was a dreadful player who was only adored by the puddle drinkers because he blessed himself when Butcher scored an own goal. Lying prick.
Souness could have eaten him if he wanted.
"Lucky it was you, Peter." indeed.
As if Souness would have respected that skidmark as has been said, it was all about mind games, you had one eye expecting to be clattered and when that didn’t come he had beaten you because he’d thrown you off your game.
A proper football hard man not like some of the plastic hard men in the game today
that is excellent

there's going in hard for a tackle and then there's a graeme souness video tackle.This was all back in the day when a hard tackle was deemed an acceptable part of the game and not like todays game for overpaid actors. As for McCoist i think Souness was actually jealous of McCoists popularity and standing with the fans and wanted to put him in his place. McCoist showed a huge amount of mental strength to come through that period of his career.
