Stuart 0 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 There is something of a split on FF as to whether Barry Ferguson shat it from challenging Boruc to then try and score for the team or whether he had no chance of reaching the ball and it was was a slightly over cooked pass from Dado. If you can recollect the play from your mind, what is your take? my personal view, is Dado - who was Rangers best player - just slightly over played the ball meaning Boruc was always favourite for the ball. and had Ferguson challanged for the ball , it would only have resulted in one thing: a yellow card. But in some quarters he is being made out as a shite bag.. - not that theres even any guarantee he would have scored anyway. what is your view? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 overhit pass in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart 0 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 I am not Barrys hugest fan by any stretch - but I like him as a player If we werent so dire he probably wouldnt have needed to play today and could have been feeded into the team and got back to his best gradually - as he is still striving to reach the level of his team mates fitness. I just find it a little annoying to find things like this pinpointed as the so called turning point in the games. and that the guy was a shite bag,etc etc. In my view once the pass was over hit the chance was never on, and no matter how nice it may have been to jump on Boruc - it would have been silly. Its a tad desperate from some fans that we need to look at these non- instances as our lifeline. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I would rather look at why McGeady could put so much pressure on us. Why can we not defend high balls. That is more important than one missed chance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarty 1,876 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I thought the pass was a bit heavy and your right - if he had challenged for it he could have been booked as he was not favourite to get there first. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,499 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Barry Ferguson gets far too much criticism from certain sections of our support and the media. He was by no means our worst player yesterday. He is still a long way short of full fitness too. Given time and support - a bit like the team - hopefully we will see him somewhere near his top form. To answer the original question the pass was a little over-hit. He can't win if he had went diving in two footed and got sent off he would be getting pelters on FF and because he never he still gets it in the neck. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buba3d 0 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 My view on it is simple, if barry got a slight touch to the ball before bourc then it's a clear cut red card for bourc and a penalty to us again that's if bourc brought down fergusson. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Barry wasn't quick enough and the pass was slightly overhit... Looked what happened to Mols when he challenged a goalie for a 40/60 ball. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve 0 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It was an over cooked pass right enough...but maybe if it was someone with the pace of Lovenkrands or Novo they might have had a chance. Ferguson gets dogs abuse from a lot of people when it is clear he is not match fit...these same people are now turning on PLG as well. The press thrive on this and just watch as the pressure intensifys [sp] over the next few games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
