Crumpy Gunt Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Christ, I wish Alan would keep his mouth shut. Why? He's more or less telling everyone Rangers on his last chance. He has the talent but is going to fuck it up with his shit attitude. If players like Carroll have already had to have words wih him then I think this is the pre cursor to him being peddled. And when he does go we'll all know why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Catch 22 for Pardew, he doesn't say anything and people ask why Ranger isn't being given a chance, he says why he isn't being given a chance and they say he shouldn't be coming out with that stuff in the press.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Right thing to do. You've told the player in private. You've asked other players to talk to him in private. He hasn't listened, doesn't seem interested, so you out him in the papers. Now everyone has a bit of the story, and your reputation is in question now. Gauntlet is down, its up to the player now to prove everyone, club, players, fans, and interested parties, that he's not going to blow out his career due to poor attitude.

Pilko Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 He's arguably more of a rent-a-quote than Steven Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 There is nothing wrong with what Pardew has said. What has Ranger done to deserve becoming a "fan's favourite"? Having a Twitter account shouldn't make you a fan's favourite. A few too many people seem to get excited about our players from a celebrity point of view rather than what they produce on the pitch point of view.

I feel I can relate to him more than any of the other players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Mean Streets of NE12. Actually, pretty sure Ranger lived in the converted Church in NE12 for a while! OH MY! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when he does go we'll all know why. Totally agree - losing patience with this guy, he got a great chance when he moved from Sts, but obviously just happy to do the min and take the dosh...if so, he must go.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Obi's spot on like. If keeping it in house isn't working then making it public so he can't hide it has to be worth a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I suspect that Ranger's talent is as much a problem as an asset at this point. It enables him to get by without totally stretching himself. He needs to develop the attitude that he's going to be the best player that he can possibly be. The attitude of being just good enough to get a place in the team ahead of this, that or the other player isn't going to get him anywhere. He has to set his own standards, based on his own talent. I worry that he compares himself to other players and says - well I'm better than him, why doesn't he pick me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Probably thinks he made it after that cameo against Liverpool. He's nothing yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Probably thinks he made it because people keep fawning over him on facebook and twitter despite the fact he's done nothing yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The lads a moron, needs to knuckle down or he'll blow any chance he has of making it as a player of note. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Everytime he thinks he's made it, he should be made to sit down and watch his howler against West Ham. Not just how he missed, and why, but his reaction afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 It's necessary to play this out in public like. Similar to what Jon said, alot of people have been calling for him to start and have been criticising Pardew when he hasn't picked Ranger. He's just explaining why he didn't pick Nile, and it seems to have been the right call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Aye, Carroll hasn't improved and developed like he has due to a bad attitude on the training pitch, despite what he may have done in his private life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Looked lively when he came on, though struggled in the isolation of one up front which was to be expected. Got some leap on him, though its totally uncontrolled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Pardew is spot on with what he said we all think it about Ranger BUT the stpuid cunt of a manager should be saying it to Nile in a one on one conversation and not to the fkn press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
