The funny thing is when you see Shagger in training it's like one of the players have had a bring your dad to work day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnwardsandUpwards 834 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The lad made a serious mistake in his past.He faced up to the consequences and paid the penalty.He doesn’t pretend it never happened nor does he sweep the magnitude of it under the carpet.I would guess every one of us have either done something or know of someone close to us that have made grave errors of judgement in the past.He has a lot to prove and a reputation to restore.Will give him even more impetus to excel for us.As far as the Club selling its soul unfortunately it’s the era we live in where nothing seems sacrosanct anymore.Money rules and in this game that means results.To get them we need better standards of players for all positions and in his case, he fits that criteria at this point in time. Welcome to Rangers young man, now go and do all your talking on the park.Succeed there and keep a low profile off it and you will go a long long way to restoring some structure back in your life.

Not once have I ever read that. Dono about that , mixed opinions before Gazza’s game against the sheep and he didn’t come out to warm up , both equally bad incidents , one he was already ours so we had to worked around it , the other we’ve brought him to the club knowing what he’s done , did we really need that kind of character coming into the club ? I don’t think so , 100% all will be forgotten if he is immense and helps us to 55 that’s just the way football is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourfourtwo72 3 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Wasn't overly enthusiastic about this guy given his history. But nobody is without a past, and nobody is without a future. His debt, such as it was, has been repaid to society. In any civilized place, you do your time and you move on with the understanding you're re-integrated. I doubt Gerrard will have hand-waved away the issues without some serious consideration and assurances on Flanagan's part. If he can recapture some of the form that made people call him 'the scouse Cafu' and be asked to declare internationally for RoI then this could be a genius move. It's Moneyball time just now. Risk and reward in everything. The potential reward is massive. The risk, according to the new gaffer is less so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshireranger 8,084 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 On the day a club legend signed by Bill Struth dies, we sign this man. Whatever happened to club standards?.

Bears r us 30,798 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 This signing was bound to show divisions within our support, and I can see both sides of the argument. I think the fact SG and G Mac know him so well and they believe it was out of character and that he is really remorseful and wants to make amends in his personal life and try and get his career back on track has made me come down on the side of giving him a chance. I always remember and old work colleague of mine who used to say 'anyone who has never made a mistake in life had done fuck all' and while that will not be true for everyone I thought it was an interesting take on life. I hope Jon takes this chance he has been given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are you saying if other players welcome him piblicly then you've over dramatized it? As many are doing with the whole situation. And I'd imagine few managers in any business anywhere would recruit someone who assaulted their wife. Yet plenty give others 2nd chances for misdeneanours if they believe it's warranted. Not sure why you'd even contemplate this as reasoning why Gerrard shouldn't sign him. Other than to fit an agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya scumbag bastard I was making a point about how far our standards as a club have sunk. And that legend was a personal friend. Whose death I am heartbroken at. And its because of men like Hubbard and Struth that I am angry that the club we all love seems to have no standards as they had in the days of those two great men.
