Graham Spiers shares his man love for Ibrox hero
Graham Spiers has been sharing his man love for the cheekie chappie, when it suits him, of Scottish football. Ally McCoist.
Spiers recently decided to go against the grain when he picked up on Richard Gordon’s Press & Journal column calling out the bias of Scottish referees in favour of the Ibrox Tribute Act.
Delivered with a knowing giggle the veteran reporter has tried to justify a 68 going on 71 match run of SPFL matches without a penalty being awarded against the second best team in the country.
I love Ally McCoist to bits. Loved him as a Rangers player, love him as a guy. https://t.co/DYmwkbrsC8

When McCoist was asked about the ‘remarkable’ run on TalkSPORT he replied by discussing penalties awarded rather than conceded. Spiers lapped up the slapstick provided by the London based radio station.
Despite having their Sunday Sportsound presenter raise an issue that has created plenty of interaction online Radio Scotland haven’t gone near the subject of Gordon’s column in the P & J.
It seems like Kenny Macintyre, Tom English, Neil McCann, Jane Lewis, Steven Thompson and Kenny Miller would rather discuss any other topic than the 23 month gap since Kevin Clancy dared to award a penalty to Aberdeen against the Tribute Act.
Did you love him with his who are these people comments that put families at risk that had to move house under police escort. Is that what you are saying Graham, is that really what you are saying?

The cheeky chappie is only cheeky when he’s feeling cheeky.

Why can’t you question the integrity of referees, or any other officials in Scottish football? Plenty of evidence that some had none, and enough of them boast about their biased officiating once retired. There’s a lack of integrity in all walks of life, why not Scottish football?

Is this the same Ally that demanded to know names of folk who made decisions in Scottish Football whilst manager of Rangers*? Veins bulging as his Club were being plunged into Administration and the subsequently Liquidation back in the day? Is this the same guy? ?
