OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I couldn't give a flying fuck.The lads career was in jeopardy and we helped him out. He ends up at Celtic. Boo fucking hoo.He'll never get a game at Celtic anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,436 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 David Beckham trained with Arsenal before signing with PSG.Maybe Arsene Wenger just wants to be everyones pal.Not really relevant, because he didn't sign for Spurs or Chelsea.

Fuck sake Ally, why didn't you peer into your crystal ball?!!!Why spend resource on getting him fit, if we aren't planning on signing him, knowing when he is fit he'll likely sign for a Scottish club?

NixonRFC 1,333 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Some football fans are really just fannies with no idea.It costs nothing to let this guy use our facilities and share any knowledge with our players and especially our youngsters. Hasn't cost us a bean and if he had been anything like our quality we would have had him. It is more a sad story that they guy is just not good enough and we should feel sympathy for him. Good on Rangers for giving him a chance and no harm done. He's not going to get many games for Shellish I really don't think.stop being utterly ridiculous, like it or not the tims at the moment are in a far stronger position than us and probably will be for a while yet, if you think they'll take someone we deemed no good enough you're deluding yourself.I've no doubts at all Ally wanted him, we wouldn't have rolled out the red carpet for him if we didn't but Ally also probably knew we couldn't afford him right now, he probably wanted to wait for a while and offer him terms near the start if the season if he still had any budget for wages - that mob came in and thats that, to say he's past it is pish, I probably wouldn't trust his fitness but they'd never give him a 2 year contract if they weren't convinced he was still more than capable.Gordon at half the level he was before injury would still be far superior to what we've got Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get serious yourself.Any player we look at is entitled to play and train with us so we can look at them. There would be not much expense to us. I am certain we would have decided he just wasn't worth it. Same as the club/clubs which have let him go from down south (they'll all be ridiculous too yeh?). Celtic do have more cash to waste so they can waste it any way they want but to go looking for an affront in everything like this is ridiculous tim-like behaviour. Rangers have acted perfectly decently in this instance. Helped the guy out, looked him over, let him go. Of course we would have considered the cost of it too but you know what, we don't have the money and it isn't a big deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The next thing you know celtic will get the commonwealth games, a visit from HRH and all the goodies that go with it and we'll be palmed off with something trivial like the rugby sevens . . .

Tontospal 1,116 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Bottom line is Rangers resources should only ever be used by current or ex-Rangers.The support pay for the training facilities and staff costs and I don't think many would feel that players with no connection to the club should get to benefit from that investment.The physios should be available to Rangers fans if they have spare time in our employment.I hope Gordon is soon in a position to compare our physio with theirs.

gersandy 594 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I want to go on record to say IMO, Gordon is a much better keeper than Cammy Bell. But as we already have Bell on a 3 year deal, how can we justify signing Gordon?With a number 1 already in place, you either want an experienced back up, at the end of his career, or a young up and coming goalie.The fact that he signed for the tims is irrelevant.

The Dude 20,026 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If we'd signed an Injury prone 31 year old with no sell on value who hasn't kicked a ball in two years this place would've been in uproar. Although some would've complained no matter what we done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He attended training, which would have happened anyway, working with staff who would have been there anyway and using gym equipment that would have been there anyway.Not to mention he would have been passing on experience to the younger keepers while he was here.
