Guest Gersgal06 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Yeah, i know, old subject. But..... I was surfing round this vast web of information and came across a post (somehow) on stagsnet - the official forum of mansfield town supporters club!!! Here is the post: WHAT A JOKE !!! What the flip has he achieved in his career !!! Failed premiership player who has done reasonably well in a minor league playing against Falkirk,Inverness,Dundee etc. Does some out of touch big-wig think. "OK now to Scotland, we need to honour someone, who shall we pick, er... no one springs to mind..anyone any ideas....... er no not really... we have hardly been pulling up trees recently in the field of sport..... well we must pick someone......... what about that chap from that famous club called Glasgow Rangers.... I've heard of them...... Whats his name........... er Barry I think...... Well then Jeeves get the letter out and pour me a scotch..... Mediocracy should not be rewarded Mediocracy......minor league.....what the hell is mansfield town......and the 2nd league......world class???? God I have never laughed so much!!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,146 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Ignore it gersgal... Utter jealousy. In 2002/03 before his move to Blackburn (and after generally accepted as his best season for Rangers) he was Opta's 4th best midfielder in Europe in terms of passing. Now stats can be twisted for any situation but for the most part, most of Ferguson's critics don't have a real argument for not rating him other than the fact he's a Rangers player. A lot of people (and the media) do over-rate him and there's no doubt he'll have to improve on his inconsistent displays of last season if he wants to remain in the Rangers first team under PLG. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmidd 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 His award is also linked to his charity work, which often goes unnoticed 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I was about to write the same. Apparently he doesn't publicise his charity work. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Yeah i read that too about the charity work, i never realised it either. Good on him for that. Lets hope his services to the club improve in the new season compared to the, IMO, pretty awful season he had last year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmidd 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I would guess this is because he doesn't want ppl thinking he's only doing it for the publicity. He's doing it cause he cares and wants to give something back 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 There was a thread on this a few days ago and i stated on there that i also think it is crap he is getting this reward. There are ordinary people who work night and day for charities and get hee haw. Just because he is a middle of the road football player who does a bit of charity work he gets it. Sorry but i would prefer to see the real charity workers getting it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however feel that these awards are a joke, and evryone and theyre granny get one, for crossing children over the road and so forth. But hey, who cares. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
