WishyB 10 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 59 minutes ago, graeme_4 said: Jigs issue was he was paid too much, and played for 2 seasons too long. If he'd left with dignity after the league 1 season, instead of (supposedly) renegotiating his very expensive contract to be less money, but longer and with an 'if fit must play' clause, he'd be thought of in much better light. Unfortunately for a lot of good Rangers players, they were involved under Ally in the worst season in our history IMO. That's a stench that will take time to fade. Pish. He was he on the bench for both playoff games at Ibrox against Hivs and Motherwell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforgivable. Aye am afraid that just done it for me after ma years of defending him ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said for all he was done about 3 years ago and on far too much money - none of that was his fault. In the end his only crimes was loyalty and trying to hard despite being past it. I don't hate him. He bled Rangers. Just wasn't good enough. Onwards and upwards. Jig was on a third of the money the highest earners were on. Players like Law who is scared of the ball and the pernamently injured Templeton earned much more yet dont get any flack for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any footballer in history had such a bizzare clause. The people who come out with that shite are the same venomous liars who say Jig had a huge salary.

I also didn't mind him as a player in the 3rd and 2nd divisions. Doesn't change the fact that he was done as a footballer long before he stopped collecting a wage at us, and was captain of the worst side in recent history.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I would have preferred Locke in charge for their visit. A change of manager can potentially bring positive changes - unless you are Kenny McDowall Anyway, good luck to him - after the Ibrox game.

writingranger 1,412 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Tons of nonsense was written about Jig. He was always a player with heart who tried his hardest. He was also loyal and never deserved any of the vitriol that some aimed him. Yes, he was over the hill and yes he played in a position he was poor in. But that's not his fault. He stood up to be counted and that's what matters. He deserves applause and his team deserve to be well beaten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably on 3 times the salary and continue to take one. Show me a thread where they get slagged off for taking a high salary. What have these guys brought to Rangers that makes them worth 3 times a captains' salary? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,348 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I honestly adored the guy. I really did but after that pals act with Commons my estimation of him went well down after turning in the worst Rangers performance I had ever seen. Hope we fucking rattle them next week.

DavieMacRFC 850 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The Big man will always have my best wishes as he played with his heart on his sleeve and gave his all, granted he was not the best but still a true bear. Still hope he has a shit Saturday though and then he can kick on from that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copland bear 7,966 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm sorry not a jig fan,. The guy fleeced our club like the rest. Yes he did sign over when other refused but he would not have got the same deal elsewhere at that stage in his career as he was utter pish.. Over 10k a week he was on playing against postman and electricians but I never seen him saying cut my wages to say a more reasonable 5k a week. He could not play up front so Ally sticks him in the middle of the park and he's a disaster so he move him into defence where he was even worse. I will never boo a former player unless it's those Rhats that jumped ship, but I won't be going out of my way to cheer him in any way shape or form. Im going to support the team I have supported all my life and would have gladly did what was best for the club. No one can defend his wages for the performances we got from him, he was finished he was as slow as a week in the jail.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Honestly, some on here can get it right fucking up themselves. Cant imagine what it must be like feeling so negative towards anyone who was associated with the Club in the past 5 years. Jig did nothing wrong, wasnt the best player, was shite his last 2 seasons but thats not his fault. Some of yous are sad bitter cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one saying he did anything wrong, but he was well paid for what he did. I won't be booing or having a go at him, I hated it when they did it at Ibrox even thou I wanted him gone as he was finished and the wages he was on could have brought in 2 players. As I said he did nothing wrong as we had to honour his contract., Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
