As long as they can play couldn't give a fuck. And they might come across a bit off because they don't like you. As Alan Shearer is alleged to have said once to Glenn Hoddle, have you ever thought it might be you that is the problem. Several others I know have met Barry and said the same about him. Totally agree with your point though, I couldn't care less what their attitude is off the pitch as long as they perform when they're on it.

I was gutted. I missed the bus home from a champions league game when McLeish was our manager, think it was the Artmedia Bratislava game, and while I was waiting on my lift I went and stood out at the front of the stadium. Several other players came out and signed some things or spoke away to the people that were waiting outside but Ferguson had a look outside a couple of times and as soon as he seen there was still people waiting he would turn back in and close the door. I don't think he really enjoyed that side of things at all. Alan Hutton on the other hand is probably one of the most down to earth footballers I've ever met.

I remember Diouf used to get his car to drive inside the gates of the stadium to pick him up and he wouldn't sign anything Alan Hutton was always great when I met him, Kirk Broadfoot and Alex Rae too, my da parked next to him once and he got out and had a chat with us, talking about how he thought we should sign Graham Dorrans and that he tried to sign him while he was managing Dundee.

I was about 9 I think when he came on against D Utd at hampden and the anticipation and reception was like nothing I've heard for a player coming on as a sub. Easily the best Scottish player to play in this country for about 25/30 years, imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the same time, met Amo, Porrini, GVB, Durie, Albertz, Vidmar and others who were all brand new. Only odd one was Negri - he seemed scared - an odd chap indeed.

It's no like they're asking him to bless himself Aye but that could have been next! I mean if he did the huddle as asked then next week he could be asked to bless himself then chapel then, well it doesn't really bear thinking about. No he was probably right to stand his ground.

He was almost anti social when he was with us as far as I've been told, then he fell off the face of the earth and since he returned he's the happiest guy alive Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Spoke to an ex player about how Barry came accross when meeting fans. He said for people like Ferguson he can't go to the local shop, supermarket , couldn't go out in town without getting stopped every few minutes by fans. It was the only way he could deal with it , and it may have come accross harsh at times on fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyarf37 963 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Met Barry and Craig moore in the Garage in glasgow. They came and sat at our table, was meant to be reserved for them but moore said we were fine to stay. Moore was a really nice guy and bought everyone drinks. Ferguson was steaming drunk, drinking Orange Barcadi Breezers (Staunch) and kept saying how his Mrs would be raging if she knew he was in there. Was a bit of a ned and had no time for anyone trying to speak to him. Seen him another time outside Mr Smith on Byers road he was going in to by Pants ?? 3rd time was in Tesco in Blackpool, he was with his wee boys buying these massive purple/pink Elephants. Random.

OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I thought Andy Halliday was excellent in the Championship. He was disappointing last season but, like many, I think he lost his way, lost confidence. I didn't like some of his histrionics but I have nothing against him as a lad, he is clearly a Rangers fan and if whilst on loan he gets back some of his old confidence then I'd not be adverse to him having another crack with us. Either way, I'm not sure why he gets the abuse he does but then lots of views mystify me. The hostility to Kenny Miller staggers me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus wept, we are not in a good place and yet some continually and unwittingly set the guy up for a fall. As much as he may have loved the club, he is no hero and hardly worth a mention. If he wanted to be staunch as fuck, he should have done it on the park. He is of the past and not a memorable one at that. Yes it's fucking emabarassing and as you say, who needs fucking enemies.

I don't think it's jealousy for people to point this out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie76 15,353 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Is Andy good enough for Rangers? No. Does he get it tight from jealous cunts and fenians on here? without a doubt. The l'm only slating him cause he's shit crew are at him every fucking thread and it says more about them than it does Andy. Hope it works out for him wherever he ends up?
