Anthony Ralston

I don't know what threads you read but I would say the general consensus on what I read on Ralston on here alone is over 50% negative. Have a look at the comments in the Hibs game and after the Rangers game at Ibrox, he was being singled out for criticism from loads of people in games we drew 0-0 and which he had a solid performance in. Even when he does well he flaks abuse.

As I said, he gets very little credit and he's a far better player than the majority of our fans give him credit for, it's a fate that guys like Scales and Taylor endure/have endured also.

As I said I always find is bizarre that I live in a world where a lot of Celtic fans can on one hand deem James Forrest a Celtic legend while Anthony Ralston is deemed to be stealing a living as our backup right back.

 

He needs a haircut

giving off Russell M vibes

 

Looking at his wife, maybe that's why he's growing it

 

In fairness to Russell Martin I thought he did a fantastic job with the zombies. Should have been given a lifetime contract IMHO

 

Can I ask what age you are, you seem to be spoil for an argument in a lot of threads...

 

I don't accept that, it's the contrary in fact - there seems to be a lot of people on here who can not tolerate a viewpoint different to theirs and quick switch from the issue to dishing out abuse and insults when I substantiate my positions. I just object to the extremities a lot of our fanbase engage in.

I think fans should try and be balanced and fair with criticism, looking to target one player for any minor mistake while conversely defending their favourite players for glaring errors is crazy IMO and those false narratives should be open to challenge.

 

Ralston has over recent years been up against Wirtz, Musiala, Shaqiri, Vargas, Perišić, Livaja, Zalewski, Zieliński, Leão, Jota (RIP), Ronaldo, Mendes and Modric. Sure he felt the same way at points, but also had some very decent performances against some excellent players.

 

Ok, fair enough.. but we take this thread for example the points you make about Ralston are a fair debate..

But, twice you have a go at Forrest to try and make your point, now our most decorated player in history, scored 16 seasons in a row etc etc.. seems like trolling to me, or juvenile that's why I asked your age. Or maybe you have only seen the twilight of his career. Your user name would suggest no tho.. so maybe just trolling?
