Pressley - Football related - Discussion of non TA football - Tartan Army Message Board Jump to content

He's no as angry as I was when his team f*cked my coupon on Sunday.

Likewise! It was my last bet of my £10-100 quid I do. It should've been a stick on. Raged!

That being said I really like Pressley. Every time he speaks about the game and the way he thinks it should move forward I'm impressed. The way he made levein look like a bumbling idiot during the Scottish football debate on the tele when levein was the scotland manager was also most pleasing.

It's a fine line with openly critising players, albeit without naming them, it can back fire terribly like with butcher at hibs, but even more so as they are players he has brought in. I hope it works out for him. I could definitely see him get the gig after strachan (hopefully that's a good few years away)

Always thought he would've been a great player if he only learned how to be dirtier. I want my centre halves to be dirty bassas. Willie Miller-esque for example.

Eh?

Miller was hard but never dirty - can't recall any bad challenges in 15 years of watching him. He also tended to use timing and positional sense to stop attacks as opposed to making lots of challenges - that is a viewpoint shared by Alex Mcleish and Charlie Nicholas who used to call him The Head Waiter due to his sense of timing.

I suppose if hard meets your definition of dirty though .....

Pressley I always had as sleekit - jersey pulling etc

You've picked me up wrong. I meant dirty as in a fair dirty. It was meant as a huge compliment to Miller.

Always thought Pressley would end up as Hearts manager but it looks like we are going in a different direction, building from within. Anyway, hope his latest tirade works for him, anyone who has lifted the Scottish Cup for us deserves every success
