I did wonder about the timing of the arm band at the time but and got told it was a message to JB he'd lost his place. MW has recently come out and said he was wrong to drop AH for Barton and that AH is a role model for others at Ibrox. http://www.<No links to this website>/sport/football/football-news/mark-warburton-admits-wrong-drop-8958312?

Barton has been gash playing in the hole, but Halliday ain't much better in there. If that's how he want's to continue to set us up, then he needs much better quality in there.

Folly.

Since Halliday was dropped for the Old Firm he's been our best player by a country mile. 

Aye we've been poor, the team have rightfully been slaughtered for it. I'd like to think we've turned a corner because we've resembled something like our best the past couple of games. Yes it's all about results but IMO we've yet to click. Which is another issue as to why it's taken so long for us to click into gear

Halliday was dropped for the Old Firm?  He might not have started the game but he was on the pitch for the entire second half.  Holt's came back from injury and it's he who's been the biggest positive since that Old Firm game.

So some saying he can fuck off and others pleading for him to get another chance .......    

bottom line is you can't form either opinion unless you know the FULL story for a fact. And no one in here does. How can you call him a such and such or on the flip side say he's git to stay? 

Barton's future will be decided by MW and we have to trust his judgement either way. 

It's not a given that Warburton will decide his future.  If we drop points up at ICT and lost to Celtic on the 23rd do you think Warburton will still be here?

Whens barton back the sissy haired spunk guzzler that he is? I see his book is 4th in the charts.....cock. 

Self important cunts writing books about themselfs these days makes ma bharf

It's a good point looking at the games coming up theres some really tough games which could make his position  untenable.

He will get the season no matter what IMO.

Warburton will be here. The club has invested more in Mark Warburton in terms of him shaping the playing side etc than it has on any player, and if Barton ever plays for Rangers again I'll be very surprised. It's already worth bearing in mind that this "untenable" position Warburton is nearly at is, at the moment, three points off second. We have to be rational, the club has, as a fact, came back up from the lower divisions, and on a playing front and off the park is finding its feet again. Warburton will bring success to this club, given time.

Halliday's been our best player in every game since, but he's a Rangers fan from the Copland Road so that means he's overrated

I don't think we could afford to sack him regardless of results tbh.

There must be at least 1/2 a dozen or so claiming to know what happened. I've read a similar story to yours but it's all hear say with these 'sources'.  The story I read recently was ....

There's also a story that JB is being transferred to Leeds on loan A.S.A.P.

End of the day it's all speculation. I don't think fans will every find out what really went on.

My tale is 3rd hand ... maybe of a mate of a player but I trust it.

[STEPPS BOY 73,802]

I hope he never plays for us again..

Fuck him and his ego..

[Getstiffed 8,863]

Now Halliday is sleekit and weasled his arm into the captains armband.

Nothing to do with the captain and the vice captain sitting the stands.

Every decision the manager makes will just get slaughtered and its literally only because of who appointed him manager.

I question him as he's making a cunt of it not because of the board even though i think they will be bad for our club.

Nope, we don't have the money and would struggle to replace him with someone decent.

Some of our fans have a genuine dislike for Andy and it's quite bizarre.

It appears that since the training ground bust up that some people seem to feel the need to take sides. If you like Halliday you need to hate Barton and vice versa.

Not realising that this sort of thing happens on the training ground a lot more often than we get to find out about and that the players have quite possibly put it behind them already.

Whatever you say mate. Quoting posts from 2 months ago to score a point makes you're agenda perfectly clear.

I can't even remember you being very complimentary towards him right from the get go despite the job he done in a very short space of time with very little to work with.

It's almost as if you're scunnered he's got this far. I know you're not a tarrier and that makes it even sadder.

Its jealousy and resentment. Used to be we loved seeing someone drag themselves out of the muck and make something out of their life, now we break them down at every opportunity. It happens all across society not just football.

Some of the things he gets criticised for are mental. This latest shite about him slating Barton just so he could get the captain armband takes the fucken biscuit.

Nah mate its been going on since last season. It's almost as if they've written him off right at the start and are even more pissed that he's done much better than they predicted.

I'm not the biggest fan of Hallidays but i'd rather have him in my side than Joseph Francis..

He was our best MF in the first 4 competitive games. I honestly think if we'd been able to have a normal pre season you wouldn't have seen Barton or Kranjcar getting lumped into games they weren't physically ready for. Same goes for Clint Hill.

Look at the weekend there. Dodoo comes off the bench instead of MOH and I read someone claiming that it proves the manager made a mistake signing him and knows it. Eh naw mate, MOH has had some game time and Dodoo hasn't and this is the last chance for 10-14 days to get him some meaningful time.

The mental gymnastics on display to criticise the manager and certain players is astounding. There's plenty of shite to have a moan about without this hyperbolic fuckery.

Probably the only team in the world whereby supporting the club you play for counts against you.
