    He's not that small. He's just physically weak and his aggression seems to only extend to shouting and waving his arms around.
    If he can't increase his physical power and stamina he won't be good enough to keep playing for us.

    Why bring David Murray's physical condition into it? You're an embarrassment.

    BMI is irrelevant. Every rugby player/sprinter alive would be classed as overweight going by BMI. It's irrelevant and widely considered bad science.

    Let me re-phrase then. BMI is irrelevant for everyone, anywhere regardless of sport.
    i think you're confused because I'm agreeing fat and muscle are not the same! BMI measurement doesn't take this into account. It merely measure weight against height. 
    BMI doesn't calculate body composition. 
    Body fat percentage is a far more effective and relevant measurement. 
    Footballers should be around 8 to 12 percent (with 12 certainly being the very highest end of the scale). No need for players to be extreme and go to 5 or 6 percent as this will effect physical performance and durability. Upwards of 12 and you're basically carrying excess luggage that's doing nothing for you. 
    Even within these parameters too much bulk in shoulders/biceps, chest and back for example is dangerous in players as it can affect mobility, speed and endurance and doesn't have any real carry over performance wise. 
    In relation to Barton, he doesn't look like he carries a lot of fat to me. Looks pretty lean regardless of playing/not playing.

    Perhaps the dreamers know that there is still a lot of hard work still to be done,perhaps the dreamers also know there is no Rangers mad billionaire just bursting to give his money away for no return,perhaps the dreamers also know that the manager has made mistakes ( Barton ) being one to keep us on track but perhaps they also know that the manager isn't the first and doubtful if he will be the last Rangers manager to make mistakes.Perhaps the dreamers know all this but its the realists who need to take a look at themselves and get into the real world outwith the internet world of football.Just an opinion of course.

    I believe our manager to be a man with some integrity (that goes for Davie Weir also) they may not be getting everything right on the park but I would consider them to be fair and decent. If Mark Warburton believes Barton has overstepped the mark and has a negative impact on staff at the club, as they go about their daily business then I'd tend to trust his decision. 
    There's nothing in the manager or assistants characters or past to suggest they lack integrity.
    Everything in Bartons past points to him being an attention seeking, self obsessed, prick.

    He's not going to play for Rangers again. I think people are dreaming if they think there will be a reconciliation and he'l be back. The manager doesn't want to have him around and it seems the players and staff don't like working with him. 
    He'l be gone.

    He's a fraud and he knows it. Loves  the attention and limelight that comes with being a Rangers player but he's got no balls. Good when everything is going well against part timers in the Championship but I'd take Garners aggression and work rate before him anyway. Hides.

    Agree. If we give teams time to get organised and comfortable we don't look like breksing them down. We need to move the ball quicker and be willing to run at defenders from the start.
