pete 2,511 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Why not?,Barry Ferguson was the best Scottish midfield player in his era,Rangers product!. But we all know you hate him so your opinion on him doesn't count! He had one or two good seasons with Rangers and then became too big for his boots. Ferguson is exactly the player Warburton warns us about that will ruin the dressing room spirit. It was all about Barry. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,866 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Forgetting what Barry did or didn't do off the park, he was a hell of a player as we can see from that clip. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,463 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Do you think young Rossiter will shape as a 'new' Barry Ferguson? If he is a fraction of the player Ferguson was from 98-03 then Rossiter will be a superstar in our league. I must admit I don't have that high hopes for him given his record to date, but it took DA coming in to spot BF was ready, and we can hope the change of club can spur this kid onwards and upwards. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Ferguson was a superb player. I will never forget Lothar matteus grabbing him by the throat in sheer frustration as ferguson showed him how the game should be played. Scotland best product in 40 or more years by far 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland best product in 40 or more years by far Until he started believing that himself. After that he was self-centred and pretty crap.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 He got an injury that slowed him down a bit. He was still excellent after. Rangers changed more than him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Ferguson was a superb player. I will never forget Lothar matteus grabbing him by the throat in sheer frustration as ferguson showed him how the game should be played. Scotland best product in 40 or more years by far Agreed he was a cracking player. But nobody will convince me that he was a better product than Durrant. Durrant was a far better player than Ferguson in my opinion, and we only saw a fraction of what he would become. Not taking anything away from Barry - but the suggestion he was better than Durrant "by far" is preposterous to me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Until he started believing that himself. After that he was self-centred and pretty crap. No team player mentality. Can't agree with this. At Blackburn he was a terrific player who played for the team. IIRC got man of the Match against a far superior Man U and had Sir Alex absolutely raving about him. Your judgement on Ferguson the footballer is being clouded by your dislike of him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
