Muff 245 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Walter Smith has said that we wont find out until tomorrow. I don't know why people still continue to believe these radio stations, papers....? Surely you are not choosing to believe the word of our manager over Radio Catholic? Bold statement there Muff. I don't believe anything until it's confirmed, and even when it is, I still tend not to believe it, especially when it comes to Rangers, and injuries as 9/10 it's wrong, even when confirmed on the official website. Our luck when it comes to injuries is horrendous, and it really pisses me off, there is something not right at the club! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotBear 144 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I know a lot of people will turn their back on the idea that the onus is on us to get behind Lafferty. He is after all the panto villain of Scottish football. A cheat. A fraud. An expensive flop. Arrogant. Well, for some anyway...... I don't view Lafferty that way though. I view Lafferty as a young guy who has endured stinking bad luck since signing for Rangers coupled with mistakes he's made that have snowballed out of control in terms of how he is portrayed by the media and fans. That's not to say he's an innocent victim, he has of course made mistakes along the way, but for me he's not come close to being given a fair chance. There are 3 elements that for me should be taken into account when judging Lafferty. Injuries- No sooner had he arrived than he suffered an injury that kept him out for a long spell. Injuries were to plauge him during his first season, and again in the early part of this season he was out through injury. Played out wide - Yes, he regularly played here for Burnely.......but I don't care, using my own eyes I see a guy that looks lost out wide, but then looks instantly more confident when played up top, with his touch improving with back to goal and his ability to show pace and strength to take defenders on when facing goal.....as we've seen from him in a Northern Ireland jersey. Lafferty has played the vast majority of his games for Rangers in midfield, and even when played up top it's generally been with Boyd, a partnership that does neither any favours.....for me it's one or the other with Miller/Novo/Naismith. Bad press and lack of support from fans - He's made mistakes and his performances haven't been good.......but for me this has all snowballed out of control. You'd think he was playing like Sebo and acting like Joey Barton the way some people go on. This must dent your confidence greatly, and when you're a young guy trying to make your mark at Rangers, being asked to play out of position, having struggled with injury.......the last thing you need is to be painted as a villain off the park and feel a complete lack of support from your own fans on the park. As I've said, Lafferty was played in midfield for the vast majority of the time last season.......yet scored 9 goals for us from there.....a good return for a midfielder. He only started 15 games last season, playing in 31 in total. 9 goals in 31 games, with only 15 of them starts, is a decent contribution. Kenny Miller, for example, a player I rate and always stand up for, only scored 13 goals last season as a striker in twice the number of starts. 30 starts, 36 appearances in total. Novo played his first season at Rangers as a striker, but since then like Lafferty has largely played wide in midfield. He's only bettered Lafferty's goal tally last season in 1 of his 4 seasons since then, with 13 goals in our UEFA Cup final season where he made a higher than normal number of appearances, 42 in total. Lafferty was given a recent opportunity up front this season when he came off the bench against Motherwell and put away two goals. One a Boyd-esque right place right time poacher finish and the other a Miller-esque goal getting in behind the defence and slotting the ball past the keeper one on one. He will now get a fair opportunity up front. This, in my view, is the first fair opportunity Lafferty will have been given since he's arrived at Rangers. He owes us a run of good performances. But equally, he deserves our full support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
