pete 2,499 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 But you said that if Ness achieved half as much as BF it would be a disappointing career..... look at Ferguson's career and if anyone can consider that a failure I would be both surprised and disappointed. Dont look at what happened in the last 18 months of his time at Ibrox as an indicator for what he has done in football. I, like you, was disappointed how he seemed to control not just the dressing room but the club in the PLG fiasco - but that doesnt take away from the things he DID achieve with the club over his two stints. He also played admirably with Blackburn when he was there, winning MOTM on a number of occasions. Ferguson is/was a very talented player who won plenty of personal AND team awards in his career. If Ness achieves half as much as BF did then, IMO, he will have had a largely successful career. You are correct I am letting my dislike of him judge what he did. I still don't think he was good for Rangers second time round though but that is just my meaning. Statistics may prove me wrong but as I said Statistics don't always tell the whole story.

chilledbear 16 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 He was different class from other Scottish players for years, and the type of player he was, you would have thought as he got older he would mature and become a real playmaker. Unfortunately he still tried to be the young Barry Ferguson. It still doesn't detract from the fact Rangers had the best Scottish player of his generation, and one that at his best could have played in any Rangers team over the years.

Again, I agree with you on his 2nd stint. I thought he was either a) poor b) a poor reflection of his former stint or c) my expectations were higher. But in his career he certainly proved to be one of the better Scottish players to have played the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
