BlueStu08 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Khenny Miller should never have been signed - yet another example of a manager who does not have a clue. Agreed. Too many examples to list now!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 In a purely footballing sense, Ferguson has to be one of the 1st names on the teamsheet unless his form gets drastically worse. Walter Smith and his coaching team clearly don't share the same pathological hatred for the Rangers Captain that you and a few others on here do, therefore he'll continue to be a very important part of the team. In a purely footballing sense Ferguson should never be one of the first names on the teamsheet. The only way his form could get drastically worse is if he decided to play for the other team. He hasn't been important part of the team for a long time, and he's another one on the list of overpaid, underachieving players at Ibrox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that you (along with many others) are looking at Barry's reputation over his performances, because he's simply not cutting the mustard at the moment. And as captain, 1st name on the teamsheet and highest wage earner, he's the one that should and will feel the brunt of the criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Me and my mate are going to this game, but we don't know how to get tickets. Can we go to hampden on the night and buy some? Short answer is no. Rangers ticket office or online only. Cool cool, i'll head to ibrox tomorrow then, cheers If you've have said earlier, I'd have sent you mine.

Muff 245 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yeah I read it earlier but was too lazy to start a thread on it - I remember watching RTV last week and Derek Ferguson was buming Lee McCulloch up(I'm sure I posted it in some thread?) and how he's been a family friend for years. Lee McCulloch, Rangers PR man - he talks the biggest load of bollocks. I was actually suprised that he never came out the tunnel on Saturday holding Ferguson's hand.

I've discussed the sheep game with a lot of people since Saturday, the majority of them being fairly knowledgeable football guys, and the only ones who thought Ferguson didn't have a decent game are a few of the Rangers supporters among them! Most neutrals I know can't believe the abuse and OTT criticism he gets from some of our support. Sure, he's not been at the top of his form for a while now, but those who think he's not one of our most influential players are kidding themselves. I've even had a couple of sellick-minded mates moaning about Ferguson regaining some form just in time for the Old Firm game. They fear him above Mendes, Fleck or Boyd, believe me!

Muff 245 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Barry Ferguson is now a player who can't turn, run - his legs have gone, he is even slower and his distribution is on the decline. He runs about getting in people's way, shouting and balling whilst the game passes him by. When we try to up the tempo, he just slows it down. He's now played 12 games from the start, including a start for Scotland, on top of the 2 reserve matches he started and the sub appearances he made in both the reserves and in the SPL and he's still struggling with his fitness - how long are people going to give Ferguson. Had this been anyone else, they'd be getting dogs abuse. You'll get the occassional good 15-20 minute spell from him now and again but that's all. He's now your average SPL midfielder and his limited leadership qualities have also gone - he's finished! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all would LOVE to see Barry recapture the form he is or perhaps was capable of. As of now he is well short of it and looks like a shadow of the player he was. Sad to see.
