WishyB 10 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The number of games someone plays does not determine how suitable they are to be captain.Why would you want your club captain to spend his time in the stands or treatment room?Alex Ferguson (a highly respected manager) stripped Gary Neville for this exact reason.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Captain for a day Gavin Rae was a better captain than Barry Ferguson. I've seen it all now.What day would that be then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about conducting oneself in a manner which merits the privilege. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 3,009 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 People might not like Barry but he was a good player who helped us win stuff.He was a great player before moving to Blackburn, but on his return, he failed to recapture that level, and stumbled from one embarrassing episode to the next.

Every player is different. I wasnt talking exclusively about Rae, i meant any player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Gavin Rae was lucky to pull on a Rangers shirt, never mind the captains armband.Everybody who pulls on a Rangers shirt is lucky.More so the Captain's armband. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The return of Barry? Someone is seriously having a laugh. He WAS a famous Rangers player twice but won't be one again No. No. No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
real boydie9 18,021 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Barry Ferguson coming back to the brox would be terrible for the young players who have come through and done well as he would knock there confidence as he can be a bit of a bully with the younger players on the park with his constant moaning (maybe bullying is too strong a word) he was a great player and servant for the Rangers but its time to move forward not back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It's like the old rumour that Thierry Henry was hindering the development of Arsenal's youngsters because they were all terrified of himWhilst the likes of Ness and Hutton would benefit from someone with the ability of Barry Ferguson alongside them, his personality would be a great hindrance to them, on and off the field Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTP 221 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It's one thing moaning at a youngster to get them to lift their game however I seen Barry blaming youngsters to cover the fact that he was nowhere near as fit as he used to be, Charlie Adam being one of the main culprits of Barry's moaning.At times maybe he deserved it but for me he went overboard on too many occasions. I didn;t see him moaning at Ronald de Boer for being lazy, he liked to pick and choose.Ironic seeing as Charlie Adam will go on to be a more valuable (GBP) player than Barry ever was.

We lost because the players were asked to defend with the embarrassing 1 man up front and hope for the best, but i do know what your saying mate. They maybe looked disinterested, but it was the tactics and team selection which lost those games.I simply dont like him. I dont think i have been offensive or insulted him personally.

Zappa6995 3,686 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 All it showed is that he never cared one Iota for the club but that he was indeed "Mr Rangers" and more important than anyone else. His head was so big that he decided how the team should play.Maybe in his capacity of Captain you would have preferred him to to say or do nothing like a good wee boy and just do as PLG said because as results showed , he knew best.Phil Bardsley, come here this instant, did I just see you tackle that man, get your stuff together and leave this instant we will have none of that here.Comedy Genius.Anyway lets not fall out over it, Her Majesty and myself obviously liked Barry Ferguson and you didn't, that's life.
