Nile Ranger

[Disco]

I take it he's no longer cool and zany with his hip & amusing musings/actions?

[taxfree]

The only thing he's still got going for him, is his name.

[Guest firetotheworks]

How long until he fucks off?

[Guest]

Sad thing is, this could have been his real breakthrough year if he'd knuckled down. Could have been 3rd-4th choice with Best gone getting plenty of European games, etc...blew it.

Think that moment went by years ago, it's actually been the opposite in the 'he got a tattoo the day after we lost, should have been locked in a dark room, worst than Hitler!' hysteria.

Llambias will sold Ranger for 500k 

[Cajun]

Sold him to what?

[Ronaldo]

I do hope in light of his previous misdemeanors his contract included a clause or two relating to appearances. Hopefully he's getting a lot less than the suggested 10K a week.

[Segun Oluwaniyi]

Hope the guy still makes it, tbh. He's still just 21 and many people, still are not used to responsibility at this age. He wasted the early part of his career, but he still has the physical attributes to make himself useful if he can focus.

[Ronaldo]

We get it, he's a brother.

[Belfast Mags]

Hopefully he can make himself useful somewhere else.

He's not worth commenting on past being a toxic human being. Failure is all he deserves.

Indeed. Shame he wasn't born 5 feet tall, because then he'd making himself useful scrubbing toilets in McDonald's.

I used to criticise all of these young athletes throwing away their potential, when I was younger. This changed when I reached 18-20, and saw almost all of my mates throwing their lives away, just with much less consequence and effect on their future earnings potential. He's an idiot, this I am sure of, but I understand why.

Why is he a idiot then, I'd love to know, I'd like to "understand"

Please enlighten me.

I think the general point Baba's getting at is just that he's still young and immature. And he's still go time to turn that around. Don't agree with it myself but that's my opinion. Think the boy's beyond saving himself the football career he could've had. I've no doubt he'll hang around League 1/Championship most of his career and depressingly he'll be happy enough with that as long as it keeps his Range on the road.

The problem with having great potential is that if you can't realise it, everyone considers you to be a waster.

Being a top flight athlete must require tremendous amounts of hard work and will power at a very young age.

I can't muster even half that hard work at 25. I would never have been able to at 19. I feel for these players who don't make it and I admire those who do.

Probably the most level-headed post in this entire thread.

[Exiled in Texas]

At least try and live up to your potential. That's where Ranger fails. He doesn't seem to try and doesn't seem to care.

 

Plenty of kids tried but didn't make it (see any of the recent youth releases) but Ranger doesn't seem to even try.

[Tiresias]

Yeah it's so hard not to drink-drive. I really admire people who manage to go their lives without endangering themselves and other people by getting a taxi cos it's so difficult at that age not to. 

 

I do agree hell of a lot of responsibility at his age, very hard to live up to it sure. But it's not because he's not as good as promised that he's maligned.

So many people, literally so many people would swap their lives to be in his position, but he's cunting it away like the fucking retard that he is, so he looks cool to his dickhead gangster homies or whatever. I have no sympathy for him whatsoever, no understanding of the way he behaves whatsoever, he has had SO many chances but doesn't seem to give a fuck. He's 21 for fucks sake, not 17 or something where he might still be able to act like a bit of a cunt and have not really realised the situation he's in. I genuinely have SO much hate for this complete motherfuck of a waster mega cunt.
