Imodium 423 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Bold decision by WS and the correct one IMO. Ultimatly could be a good thing for us as you would expect them both to come out fighting in 2 weeks time and showing their worth. By the sounds of it though they won't be here next season and can't say I'll be too disapointed. Will be interesting to see if Davis gets played CM or if he goes for Edu on Sunday. On another note congrats Kevin Thomson, captain of Rangers in 2009/10 without a doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo 588 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Walter has made the correct decision Barry has been rubbish all season and yet when he doesn't get picked for a Scotland match after stupidly drinking for hours he throws his dummy out the pram. I think he'll leave Rangers in the summer and good riddance. When I was younger this player was my idol but my respect for him has totally gone. If Advocaat rates him then he can have him. If we can get £3 million for this drunk useless player who can't pass the ball to anyone apart from back to the defender then I'll take it. A disgrace to the club and McGregor should go as well. £7 million for the pair of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertN 398 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 aye still seems like a slap on the wrist to me if they wriggle there way back into the team after two weeks get them and boyd (deja vu) tae fuck as soon as possible not sure on weir as captain can see why he picked him just does not seem like a captain to reserved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotniss 0 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well macgregor has been so full of himself....when he first came into the team he was a pretty humble guy...now he thinks hes invincible and barry...well ive always thought that he was on step away from something stupid....but it doesnt make them bad players...i also think ferguson needs a change...he will always be a ranger... but the guy i realluy think ewho should be booted out of his job is george burley....why was he ever appointed as scotland boss...i am scotland through and through.....but this guy inspires nothing in me as a fan..and he was weak in how he handled all of this too...the SFA as usual are pathetic...and rangers yet again show them the way..Walter Smith takes crap from no one and the same when he was scotland boss too... this whole episode has gone too far and yes i would move barry on...sort macgregor out and scotland need to retract that stupid statement and reduce it to a ban....theres been worse done...and allowed to slide.....lets face it.....they werent caught sliding down a drainpipe and out of the hotel....all they had to do was tell the hotel to not serve any players...how hard was that... cheers....scotty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I am looking forward to the take on this from D'A. Well Boab If you look at my comment on a thread earlier in the week you would be forgiven for thinking Walter had been taking my advice I said Ferguson should be stripped of the Rangers captaincy and both players dropped for at least the next match. However those comments didnt take into account the ability of these players to self destruct and view themselves as above the law - their V sign gesticulations are symptomatic with the attitudes of both these players. I still havent forgotten MacGregors conduct at the Kai minute silence. I notice that a few posters have suggested that the expulsion of these 2 players will cost us the league....that maybe but only time will tell. What I would say is that in taking this action Rangers have regained a modicum of self respect.....they have re-enforced the principle that no man is bigger than the club...and Barry ferguson had certainly become that. These 2 players have disgraced our club - their antics at the Scotland training camp were an insult to us all. Their subsequent actions beggar belief. I hope they are shown the door and never don the Rangers blue shirt again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 941 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 From what I can gather from what I've heard, Walter Smith's wife went to Cameron House for a spot of early lunch (they live quite close by) and saw Barry and McGregor still drinking away. She phoned her husband to tell him the bad news and it's quite possible that he knew this before Burley took any action. No wonder he's not happy!

Souness would have strung them both up. However, for once Walter Smith finally showed some backbone and kicked these 2 out. Hopefully that puts an end to people going on about Wattie being everyones pal, he didnt take any shite today did he? And credit where it is due from me.

He's been guilty of over-pandering to Ferguson in the past, no doubt about it. I think this was the straw that broke him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine it was Souness He'd just have flat out assaulted them. From what I've heard today, it was riotous at Murray Park this morning. The punishments handed out would seem to suggest so too. I can imagine Walter going right through the pair of them. I also wouldn't be surprised if the two of them offered some sort of smart-arse response, a bit like Wednesday's escapade.

In Walter's interview earlier he did look fuming i must admit. Can't blame him either. It's time to move on from this, get that pair to f*ck and lets really try and win this league back.
