Popular Post bluenoz 30,287 Posted August 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2019 Always liked the lad. Good player and I'm glad he is on the road to recovery. Always speaks highly of the club. Rangers is not for everyone especially if they read RM. Mojo84, BrotherTJ, beararse and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt a shite footballer or he wouldnt have done well at Ipswich and a respectable return at a top championship side in derby. Glad hes on the road to recovery. Think the scrutiny hes under at a club as big as ours is too much pressure for a lot of players. Will always be a bear.

scotty1976 1,671 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 As has been said....the jersey is too big for some. He’s not a bad player, seems a decent guy, and even when he was struggling he always gave his best effort. Brave to come out and reveal his difficulties and I wish him nothing but the best both on and off the field. dougie76 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,295 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 The pressure of playing for Rangers is almost incomparable in the UK. He can always hold his head up high for his time and efforts here. Glad he’s past the worst of it and enjoying his football again. jintybear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Psychology is a modern basic requirement for managers and footballers. And Gerrard will have been well schooled at Liverpool. Interesting that one of the first things Gerrard did with the squad was concentrate them on being a "family" and gave the positive outgoing characters support (Halliday). To me that is common sense asa team on the park should work well as a team off the park and support each other as much as possible. Which begs the big question, was Warburton's man management so poor he could not see Waghorn was becoming isolated and depressed, and failed to attempt to rectify this ?

Almost impossible to notice at the time it’s only on reflection that it can be realized that the tell tale signs were there all along but just missed amongst the daily routine, thankfully awareness is now being promoted in a positive sense and hopefully encourage sufferers to seek the help that they require, a bastard of an illness.

Blueshoff 11,531 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 He is a tank. And a South Shields lad I believe. Always liked him and wish him every success. Makes you wonder.... If a couple of shots had gone in at the right time. Obviously not as high profile as the thumb as not in the Scottish press. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tore my hair out watching him sometimes, but I would never say he was dreadful, infact I'd go as far to say that his debut against hibs sparked a new dawn. His season in the premiership was poor but I'll always be grateful for his service. Your shite is taig like Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Bumped into him in american golf at bearsden. It was just after getting humped in an old firm game - he seemed a nice bloke but was noticably uncomfortable when i mentioned the game. Can't understand players shrinking under pressure...surely getting to play big games is what its all about and why you work your nuts of through your career. When theres no pressure it means the game is meaningless. And who wants to play meaningless games? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I really wish we kept him. He had the makings of a damaging striker. He just needed time to adjust to the Premiership and once he had I reckon he'd be flying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfair to try and criticise Warburton for not seeing it. There are loads of people who descend into depression and sometimes the people closest to them don’t even notice the signs because a lot of people try their best to cover it up or hide it from people.
