Should we expect more from a 20 year old than a 1 year old and punish them differently? Um, yes, obviously. Should dads be more forgiving and supportive than fans/employere/managers. Um, yes, obviously. Right. Aaaand back to the errant footballers... The reason for the the comparison is four of the 5 are around 20 or under. I have made some monumental mistakes and cost my company somewhere in the region of 20k. My employer didn't want to sack me on the spot, and clearly neither do the club with these 5. They clearly want to help them understand what they have done wrong and move on. Why do people find that so difficult? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mistakes are of no relevance if we don't know what they are. If your company wants to give you 3 chances not to make a mistake, that's up to them. Which is kind of the point. This'll be the, not first or second, but third time they try to help the poor wee mites try to understand what they're supposed to be doing. Gerrard chapping them on the heid with a 'Hello? McFly?' doesny even quite cut how stupid these boys seem to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot punish someone for something that hasn't happened. They need to be educated. A child steals from their parents purse and gets caught before they spend it. Should we be sending that child to jail for doing something they shouldn't or do you educate them and make sure they know they have fucked up. You know right and wrong from a very early age. My daughter is 1 and she knows what no means already. But she will still make mistakes and I'm sure she will be in her 20s saying dad I fucked up. And I'll be there to pick up the pieces not throw her out on her arse What a fool. BridgeIsBlue and TamCoopz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Malkytfp1 18,600 Posted February 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2021 I think we need to draw a line under it. From what I see, most people aren't wanting them sacked. That makes no financial sense (although if the board and management decided that I wouldn't protest). I'm all for giving them a second chance, or third chance as it should be seen, through gritted teeth. However we cannot excuse their actions as 'a wee mistake' or say things like 'they are just young boys'. That is us excusing their actions. That is us saying to the other youth players 'its ok to fuck the club over, you're a wean'. I think we need to be a bit like the disappointed auld da here. Make it known it was wrong and we are fucking fuming but if you work hard, show a wee bit of remorse and be a good cunt from now on then there is a chance to save your Rangers career.

I doubt that the SFA will try to ban them. Still waiting to hear about Dubaigate and now their officials mess up. I expect them to keep their heads down and leave it to the club. This is how I see it as well. Sfa, fucking muppets! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
