Ferguson is actually a really nice guy who does a lot for youth football and school football in South Lanarkshire. He is out coaching and refereeing kids games most nights of the week. He also does alot for charity, with the proceeds of his book all going to charity. Some going to that one that Jinky's wife set up. Just because he doesn't know the name of a player doesn't mean he is a moron.
And not knowing the name of a player isn't shocking. You think that he should know the name of every player he plays against? I think you are being far too overly critical of him here, and taking it completly out of context. How many times do you refer to someone by their name in a conversation?
As for my comments. I stand by them. I'm not looking for play like the Arsenals or the Barcalonas of the world. But I called it how I saw it. We got hemmed in, weren't moving, and were far too narrow. We got away with it this time because the Rangers defence is shocking, but we aren't going to get away with it every time.
To be fair, we need someone like Chris Burke. Somebody who will run at players and take them on. Create the space. Others also need to see the space and run into it. Take the first 15 minutes (or more) of the match when Rangers were dominant. They were shooting into our end and you could see the overlaps that they had going, how they were exploiting space and moving the ball about well. If we could start doing that, rather then making passes to each other (short ones) then getting Dods, Munro or Rossco to hump the ball up the park only for it to come back, we would be in a better situation. And I think fans would start to support more.
We must stop this punting the ball up the park. That's what we did under Brewster. There has to be another way of playing.
