Should Big Davie Be Dropped?

Should Big Davie Be Dropped?

For me?

Only against CL opposition.

Another poll coming up.. Would he tell Wattie he should be?

[Ozblue 4,332]

I don't know if I'd call it being dropped mate! I'd be kinder to him and call it "Rested"

I really don't think his legs are good enough for the way we need to defend in the CL...and we can't afford to be defending on the edge of our 18 yard box or we will get slaughtered, so i'd rest him for those games as long as we have another C/D to come in for him.

[grahamteuchter 1]

no chance

He should never have been offered a new contract. The set-up of the team is based around his lack of pace and mobility.

[devref 201]

fair comments about his lack of pace but how did he manage to be the first rangers player on the scene in the two flare ups on sunday?says a lot about the pace of the others also

I certainly wouldn't want someone coming in for CL games who wasn't playing in there week in, week out.

[SammyEnglish 48]

I think he should be rested in cup games and maybe against some of the smaller SPL teams.

[J_RFC87 766]

Drop him? I dream of a team of Davie Weirs?

[MasterD 7,457]

No, there is 2 worse performers and liabilities than him in the back 4

[4MenHadADream 122]

No, even if hes not at his best at the moment hes still our best option alongside Bougherra

The early season hunt for a scapegoat continues I see

A scapegoat for what?

[Maxo1873 201]

Never hes our captain we need him, and with the CL am sure hel do fine got boughy there to back up lol

[GersDude90 1]

And replace him with the just as slow, just as immobile but not as good at reading the game and perpetually injured Andy Webster?

[blue beret 29]

experiance is vital

he has shown this time and time again

[rossburns1 98]

no chance

Although he is the captain of this great club a cant help but think it would be best to giv another cb a chance beside boughy. As much as i like the guy i just think his age is starting to show. as soon as champ league comes he wil get rippd to shreads lets be honest.u seen wat webster done last season wiv united so giv him a chance. i dont really see dave weir as a captain either. think should be given to big lee when he is back.

[Jamie1807 146]

He's still the best Scottish defender

Keep him in!

[thebooler 4,509]

Weir has been immense for the Rangers since he came to Ibrox - probably worth a place in the Hall of Fame due to his leadership through what many would describe as troubled times.

I feel this season is a season too many for him and we could pay dearly for persevering with him.

Bottom line in my opinion is.....................the Rangers shouldn't even be contemplating playing a 40 year old CB and Captain, and I say this with the utmost respect for Davie.

You don't often post stupidity such as this

I can see Scholes or Giggs still playing for Man U as they approach 40, why not Davie?

Scholes and Giggs are, and always have been, in a different class to Weir. A daft comparison, in my eyes.

[thebooler 4,509]

Probably no chance of that.

But if they do, it will be due to the fact they are midfielders/forwards, and have nothing but class around them to support them in old age.

They can afford mistakes - defenders can't.

We have Broadfoot, Whittaker, and an ageing Papac.

[maxwellrfc 6]

I would drop him if we brought a CB in to replace him, but I wouldn't drop him for any other CB currently at the club.

[ryan_rfc 24]

Captain and leads the defence.

[GOAT 30,449]

If we got a good CB in before the window closes, then yes I'd drop him.

At the moment, no. There is no better defender at the club on the bench.
