Charged with D&D not assault

 

On its own is nothing really but as its just another in a long list I cannot see Pards putting up with him any longer.. be gone in January.

 

So in the last couple months its been, drink driving, assault and now drunk and disorderly, wonderful to see the lad learning from his mistakes.

I'm not sure how the club would stand on sacking him after backing Barton for something similar, unless he goes to prison of course.

 

Ideally we can push him on to Hughton in January.

 

Doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned. Barton was an asset (in theory), so we opted not to get rid. Ranger has never shown himself to be an asset to NUFC, without even considering his misdemeanors. Should be jettisoned.

 

Is it even the same sort of situation? How many occasions did Barton get in trouble with the law, no matter how big or small, in his time with us? Compared to Ranger, who it appears is being held at least 1 night a month down the station these days. Beyond a joke now.

Always drink involved, everyone sees a pattern instead of that thick tit.

I've seen him look great in the reserves but I've seen him miss from 6 yards out against West Ham for the first team...

I've never seen him strike or head the ball with genuine skill or convicition. I'm amazed by both the attitudes on here towards him and the fact he's still an NUFC player.

 

What attitudes are you amazed by?

 

Just the general optermism towards him. I think he's looked OK at times but never someone with the basics to really make it.

Did you not see him play against Leicester in the championship, he was up against two experienced centre half and was brilliant in that game, only 18 then as well but tbf everything else since then just about mirrors your post.

He was up against one-paced rubbish. But yes, he played well without ever looking like a goal threat.

 

Your harder to please than my mother-in-law.

Don't think anyone is going to argue that he's been nothing short of 'meh' when he has played for the first team. But some people saw him scoring for fun in the reserves, and he joined us with top recommendations for his ability, if not his attitude. Don't see why it's so surprising that some people were holding out hope that he'd make a good player for us. :dontknow: Obviously it was amplified what with this thread turning him into a cult hero of purely humorous proportions.

Send him out on loan to Gateshead to give him a taste of what life will be like in the lower reaches of the game.  It might well galvanise him into getting his priorities right.

 

Having said that I think its time we got shut of him, he has had his chances and blown them in the same way he did at Southhampton, this bloke is clearly a loser big time and we can manage without the adverse publicity he attracts!
