Madina 3,808 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Was gutted that Birmingham were relegated. McLeish is a top guy, and Barry is one of my fave ever Rangers players. Quite astonishing they never kicked on from their Carling cup win to get them away from the relegation zone, good luck to Barry and Eck in whatever they do now?

NessFTW 40 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I don't think I'll ever feel the same way about Barry after he said winning the Carling Cup was the best thing he has ever achieved.Horrible and unnecessary comment which I can only hope he regrets. Felt a little bit of 'get it up you' today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt a little bit of 'get it up you' today.If he was asked the question then I can completely understand why he said it, the fans would be raging if he said something along the lines of "Well I'd say... with Rangers was a bigger achievement", also would undermine the competition if you get me?

I don't think any Birmingham fans would have complained if he took the diplomatic approach:Non-dickhead Ferguson: "It's wonderful winning the Carling Cup with Birmingham but I don't think many could argue winning the treble with your boyhood heroes is probably my greatest achievement."Every brum fan/like minded person: "Fair enough mate, I respect you for saying that."That's how it should have went.

I say that with tinted specs though, as he was my hero when I was growing up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NessFTW 40 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I guess you don't understand. If he was a real Rangers fan you wouldn't need to think about not offending us, you just wouldn't say it.What about every other time any player has ever won something big, they usually get asked the question is this the best thing you have ever achieved.99% of the time they say "well it's up there, i've had a great career etc", but no Barry needs to say "I've thought long and hard about it and I'd have to say it's my biggest achievement in the game.Completely unnecessary. Unless he did actually mean it, which he obviously did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
