kanjo 26,490 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Having a debate with a friend.My argument is, I'd rather sell McGregor for all he's worth in the summer because i simply don't think he sends a good image to young fans off the park, and is an unsetteling member of our squad.His argument is we shouldn't sell him. Plain and simple.What do you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain and simple.What do you guys think?Who the fuck cares about role models?Players are there to win trophies not to show your kids they way they should run their lives.I wonder if you would have been saying the same about Gazza? McCoist? Gorum? Nah, I didn't think so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,490 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 He used those players as an example. Gazza was an irreplaceable talent, as was Goram at that time. McGregor is -far- from irreplaceable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCF2 29 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Theres a difference between a role model and getting the shit kicked out you in the city centre.Yes he has been foolish at times but in terms of what happened this weekend, the full story hasnt surfaced.

McGregor is -far- from irreplaceable.Would Alexander have saved the shot from Samaras right after McCulloch equalised for us at the piggery?Would Alexander have saved that shot at Bremen?If the answers no (which we all know it is), then that shows he's irreplaceable.Too many people have a problem with McGregor over what happened with the Jocks. I don't care what he does off the park, if he keeps pulling saves like that he can rape my fucken maw while giving my da the finger for all I care.

kanjo 26,490 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 How do you know, with absolute certainty..Alexander wouldn't have made those saves?.How about the 2 penalty shootouts Alexander has been succesfull in, would Mcgregor (a predominantly right handed goalkeeper) have made those saves?.I can do that aswell, it dosen't change the subject though. I'd rather my club played true pro's, not have our own verison's of boruc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,490 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I already explained your comparissons to Gazza and co. Didn't you read?. They were irreplaceable, and fee's for them at that time would have been insignificant in comparisson to what they gave the club.On the subject of Alexander. If your going to say Alexander would never have made those saves, then justify how you know this in certainty?I'd rather take £5million now, rather than seeing my club be the focus for front page news on all media sources for the wrong reasons, be it financially or because of a players' behaviour.

The only thing McCoist didn't drink was the sea.But it's ok, they were "irreplacable".I fucking loved everyone of them before someone starts, but it's ok to have players who aren't "role models" when they are different class, but if they are slightly under that class you can't play them, I'm just pointing out hypocrisy. Given time, McGregor could be up there with the legend that is Goram and if he's out riding everything that moves every weekend whilst kicking fuck out his wife and drinking like a fish whilst doing it, I don't give a flying fuck.

When they trained like fuck and gave their all on the pitch. Obviously away from the footballing side they weren't the best behaved. But professionally I don't think they can be questioned.

GOAT 30,449 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I believed it was the OP who stated he only wanted "true pro's" playing for Rangers thus ruling McGregor out in his own words. So if the OP claims McGregor isn't a true pro, surely none of those three were either? Ofcourse, everyone of us knows on the pitch how good all FOUR of those players were/are.

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The simple truth is with Mcgregor regarding this incident is he has been beyond stupid.1) - What is he doing going to a celtic players party2) - Was he naive enough to believe he would be safe in a place which would have them buzzing about the place?Far too many of the OF players are too nice and naive of how big the rivalry actually is and its why we still get incidents like this. Right or wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudrupforever 17 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Rangers first.Role models is way down the list.The club has to be successful to survive.We then have to put ourselves in a financially secure position.We have to keep winning, while making money.Then, we'll worry about the role model side of it.

thebooler 4,509 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Did Greegsy do something wrong outside Karbon?Did he deserve to be attacked?Was he just another guy out for a drink minding his own business?Is he an easy target for some because he is an excellent goalie?Until we know for sure the answers to these questions, its a bit unfair to label him in this way.If we can keep him, we should.
