Gazza_8 233 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The reason I think Ferguson gets the amount of abuse he does is because: a) his constant sub-standard performances b) thinking he's bigger than the club c) his previous conviction (ie the PLG affair) It all adds up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 No problem with slagging Barry. His actions deserve it. Even though Derek can be a dick I was just pointing out you can't slag him for doing his job. Discussing Rangers on RTV and in the media, ( he possibly only spoke directly to RTV and the papers lifted his qutoes anyway). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 6,891 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The reason I think Ferguson gets the amount of abuse he does is because: a) his constant sub-standard performances b) thinking he's bigger than the club c) his previous conviction (ie the PLG affair) It all adds up. a) not the only one that can be labelled at - as an example Steven Davis has been worse then Ferguson this season. however, the thought is that it's Barry Ferguson's fault that 'x', 'y' and 'z' areb't performing due to BF being a 'bully', ball-hogger' etc... b) I don't think he believes he is bigger than the club - he has played thro injuries, making himself unwell due to injections. Not the behaviour of someone who thinks he's bigger than the club. Maybe he should have hidden in the treatment room like others. c) hardly been proven - too many different stories from different sources. How would it have turned out if PLG had stayed? Who knows but I find it cringeworthy that PLG who ran out of Rangers is held in higher esteem than BF. Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 To your explanation to point B Cammy: Playing through the pain barrier to help our cause is a very generous offer but I'd have preferred him to sit on the treatment table and get nursed back to fitness. In the long run he's doing more damage to himself. I hate how people seem to think that because a player plays through injuries he's some sort of saviour! Barry Ferguson is a ball-hogger it's just a pity he hasn't got the class to perform in that role successfully. If Gazza or Laudrup decided to ball-hog then I'd have been delighted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Ferguson is a ball-hogger it's just a pity he hasn't got the class to perform in that role successfully. If Gazza or Laudrup decided to ball-hog then I'd have been delighted. In an ideal world, BF should have been rested and nursed back to fitness. However, his desire to play for Rangers and his managers (both AMc and WS) asked him to play thro the pain to help Rangers. Again, hardly actions of someone who believes he is bigger than the club. Ferguson is a ball-hogger, there is no doubting that, but that doesn't excuse the terrible contributions from his team-mates - however, many fans use this excuse and appear to blame Ferguson for everyone elses errors. Ferguson has his faults, there is no denying it - however, he gets some unfair press from RANGERS fans who want to blame him for every ill at the club. Ferguson doesn't pick the team, Ferguson doesn't sign players and Ferguson doesn't hire and fire managers although some would have you believe otherwise.

Guest adamski Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 aye our midfield has been superb hasn't it I don't think we're any worse off, and we've found room for a midfielder who can make runs into the box and score goals 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edu has been the best of the three and even he's not been that great but gives his all at least and as you say has been scoring goals. Mendes and Davis have IMO been well short of form for months...... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
