As the saying goes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette. It's obvious that the culture has been wrong for some time. We can be snarky about Keane being a nutter but I'd love him in that dressing room last year, I bet he'd have hit Gabby that hard he started using his nose to breath as well as his mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Here is what was said for anyone that missed it Here Why was he not involved? A. In my opinion, he's not fit enough to play so he won't play unless his attitude towards training and missing training improves. If that improves then I'll consider him again. If he continually keeps missing training, like he has done, then that's going to be the situation. Missing training through injury? A. No, just missing training. Something you don't need? A. There's been too much indiscipline around here. Not in 20 years of management have I gone down this route before but I feel as if I have to make a stand. I won't put up with it on my watch. I only ask one thing. I ask them to come in, enjoy their training and when I tell them they're in at 10:30 or 09:30, well, everybody else is in so He's decided that the team will pick itself. How can I pick him when he doesn't want to come into training. Something that's been happening for a while? A. It's happened more than once, let's put it that way. I wouldn't be saying it if had happened once. Everybody can have an excuse, but once it's more than that, I'm not going to accept it. On his way to Fulham? A. Not that I'm aware of, unless it's happened in the last two hours Can he leave? A. It hasn't quite worked for him. Sometimes that happens. We all don't want to be in this situation, but that doesn't really interest me. What really interests me is me getting McCormack in a condition where I think he's fit enough to come and play. If you're continually missing training, then you're not going to be that. That's the stance I've taken. There's been too much indiscipline at this club for far too long and I won't put up with it. Reason? A. His gates were stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly not match fit, he's looked a little off the pace...but fat? Absolutely laughable. I just know there are some ham planets that look like they've swallowed a space hopper sitting at home ranting about McCormack needing to go on a diet. Even if there are some tubby bastards sitting at home ranting about Ross's fatness, those people aren't professional athletes. I saw a post on Twitter about how 'ironic' it was that Steve Bruce called McCormack unfit. Huh!? Steve Bruce is a 56 year old football manager whilst McCormack is a 30 year old professional footballer. Bruce isn't expected to be fit or in shape. McCormack is. Personally I don't think he's really fat. I just posted the Gif for a joke. (FWIW: I'm actually pretty ripped. PM me your number and we can swap pics x) Edited January 21, 2017 by Morley_crosses_to_Withe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 We should get Alan Wright back, and get him to pick him up every morning for training, like we did with McGrath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I guess this explains the interest in Rhodes, which seemed to come out of nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Maybe he is going through one of his phases again. He got booted out of Rangers and had problems at Cardiff. He has looked out of shape all year so I wouldn't be surprised if he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Bruce is just after throwing him under the bus ,it obviously is to get a reaction from him it will be either a stroke of genius and Ross will catch fire and have a great 2nd half to the season or this will be the beginning of the end for him at Villa .

Didiersix Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm sure there must be some Villa fans who can help ensure his gates stay open. This has been a recurring theme for the last 20 odd years. Arguably since Sir Graham left. Villa are a soft touch. We all know this. How to change it gets right to the fabric of the club.

peterms Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Apparently le Guen pushed him out of Rangers because he used to go out drinking. While at Cardiff, prosecuted for drink driving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfielder Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 What the hell. Only just read about Ross and GateGate. Has been said already better than I could say it, but to even try that, in any job. I couldn't get out of my property because of the gates / I need to stay in (make calls to get it fixed whatever) rather than actually play (for the big money I'm on). What the Jesus F... unbelievable attitude. Like Bruce said, jump the gates, get a taxi, phone a friend get a lift.... Do your job! At least try to get to work this is one of THE most pathetic excuses for not going to work I've ever heard. And for someone to try that on, indicates where they are and what they want to happen next. Well ill thanks for that Ross. Thanks for turning out to not only be a hell of a disappointing signing, but to force an end to your short villa career by such c word antics. What an absolute tosser bye Ross you complete scumbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
