I don't buy in to this idea he was putting chance after chance on a plate and the strikers kept kicking it over the bar. Barrie, for long periods of time, did absolutely fuck all. At the start of last season he went on a run of about 10 games in which he was a complete empty jersey and there was an outcry for him to be dropped from the starting eleven. Also, he didn't track back. Maybe it was tactical decision so we had an out ball when we won it back but Barrie wasn't helping during the defensive phases at all. The amount of people at Ibrox calling him a shitebag and a lazy bastard was ridiculous. By April last year there were only four or five players in Britain who had more shot assists than him. He was creating chances. Our strikers failed to take them. I'm not really arguing that the guy was world class or unplayable etc etc etc, he was inconsistent at times, but he had enough about him that if we increased the quality around him, we'd see the benefits from him. Each to their own but I think it's undeniable we'd be a better team with him in the left wing position this season. He created chances and we have someone who's more adept at putting the ball in the net. Initially he did, I'm not talking making bone crunching challenges etc but if Wallace was caught further up the park he'd linger further back and track a runner. I recall him even being lauded for it on here when he first broke in, then it changed - it could be attitude, it could be through the managers instructions, who knows. It's open to debate. The shitebag stuff is ridiculous tbh, only in that it's overly dramatic. People love to howl that patter from the stands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvern 11,329 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 McKay I wasn't unhappy seeing out the door, one in three if we were lucky is what we do not need. Windyarse can fuck off too for all I care for about the same reason, not solid and regular enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his best hes easily a 7 figure player and we have suffered because a poor manager didn't know how to treat him when he was playing shite. Unfortunately two of those figures come after the decimal point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same manager that he wouldn't sign a contract with whilst at Rangers, and who was dropping him towards the end of his own managerial reign? The same manager whom he followed down south at a knockdown price, after he (Mackay) downed tools,. Or are we somehow talking about another manager who really had no control over the situation of a disgruntled recalcitrant player, whose greedy head was already outside the Ibrox doors? We should be told. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamber9 0 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 He couldn’t handle the pressure of playing for Rangers and, while he could produce amazing moments, his inability to do it consistently meant he had to go......should have been for more money though!

Warburtons tactics work down there where you can play a bit of football. No big hatchet bastards, teams trying to play you instead of you trying to break 11 men down.

Rather we got money for him than lose him for fuck all tbh! In a nut shell he was well tapped up by Warburton and decided to go to Forest who will be paying him a lot more than we offered.

Teams weren't afraid of us last season and we're more than happy to have a go. I don't think many teams parked the bus against us. We were passing the ball side to side for 90mins with no real ability in attack or defence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 There's an abundance of talent there and if he gets the right management he can be a real star but it wasn't happening for him with us.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 At his best he was untouchable but unfortunately his best was for about 10 mins every 5-6 games so yeah we were correct to sell him. Never reached the performance level of the semi victory over celtic and not got the heart to be a Rangers player. Will carve a good career from the mediocre championship or league oneclubs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
