siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Ally McCoist the player === legend, the manager === useless. Butcher the player === legend, the pundit === worse than useless. DJ the player absolute legend, the journalist ==== dreadful. DJ, unlike Butcher, has the one-single mitigating factor and that is, he is not the shiniest coin in the fountain. Without a doubt, this makes him an easy target for those fenians in the media with an agenda, which is basically all of them, to manipulate him. DJ is simply a victim of his own stupidity and will forever remain a legend as a player.

Gave everything on the park as a player. Whether as centre half or centre forward he would get stuck right in with no fear. Made his debut in the first team at 16!!! and then scored the winner in the League Cup Final against them. And yep - he was still only 16. If folk want to slag him off for not being too bright when on ssb then go for it, but he was a great player to watch in the early 70's onwards and certainly did more than most for the club and for that alone he deserves respect.

JentleJames 199 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Maybe people could word their criticism differently and DJ was a great player for us, but that part of the article was laughable, suggesting a formation we haven’t played (and won’t on Tuesday) that we’ll play an ineligible player, and we’ll play a player who he couldn’t get the name of right ( who probably won’t have signed by then) wouldn’t be eligible if he did sign and he’s a centre-half not a striker. You could read a week full of newspapers and not find the number of errors included in a few sentences with that, really poor tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wully, we went thru such a bad time in the 60s between us winning nothing for so long and their dominance it was a dreadful time and these are the reasons why that LC Final of 1971 when DJ scored holds such special memories for me, it was our first silverware for years. That was a day nothing could spoil, not the dust from the terraces up every orifice in my body, certainly not the pish stained jeans (even though they were my good pair) and certainly not the slap I got when I returned home for drinking (14 at the time). Those were/are still 3 of my fav games -- LC Final, the ECWC final a year later and the Centenary Cup final one year after that and DJ played a significant role in ALL THREE TROPHIES, thick as shite BUT SOME FUKKING PLAYER, wish he was playing today rather than pontificating in the media. So for the youngsters, how good was he, well no one who pulled on the jersey in the past 10 years has even come close.

TBagalag 721 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Never mind Jake Hooper, I was questioning why our new loan signing was referred to as Sadiq Umar? However, Google’s suggestion list has his name that way around before you actually click to search. Probably tells you all you need to know about the research and validity of information that goes into a DJ column. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begby 224 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Will never forget big DJ on SSN talking absolute rubbish the night Warburton resigned/sacked, clearly just dragged out his bed and been stuck in front of the camera, by that point i was in stitches at the whole saga. Talks shite but a true Rangers legend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this place. Selectively easily offended. It's funny how when the huge list of ex-Rangers players to be disliked is being complied, there's various ones that didn't cover them selves in glory by what they said regards the liquidation issue, yet Walter always gets a free pass. Some fans are massively sensitive when it comes to what ex-players do or don't say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this place. Don't think anyone is offended by DJ's spelling ... He is credited with an article quoting the wrong name, which could well be a typo (although C and H are separated by G, F, V and B on a keyboard) but he also refers to bringing him in to help out Morelos up front when the player he is presumably talking about is a centre half. The combination of both tells you he isn't the brightest, regardless of how good a player he was for us back in the day. If you are paid to write or dictate an article and referring to players the minimum requirement is getting their name and position correct.
