cooponthewing 1,139 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 What did he say? Nothing to apologise for, says hes played ok since arrival, stuff should have been kept in house and generally thinks he has done very little wrong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I don't see how the Manager can say it's all over back to normal. His authority is on the line here, he can't give the impression of backing down. Shades of PLG and BF? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Well, maybe, just maybe, he told Senderos and Kiernan what we were thinking on this very board last Saturday afternoon? If that was the case, I can't see much wrong in that ... well, perhaps pending on the words he used. At this moment and time, we should not give the media any more credence than we normally do (which includes the "I don't like him anyway - folk). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,634 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) This is much ado about nothing. A 'frank discussion' has been had, and perhaps Barton has gone too far. I don't have a problem with it. I don't like how it has been aired in public, but there's not much you can do about that nowadays with social media etc. Barton's radio interview was a response to the conjecture that has been built up by the press.

Rosco999 0 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Listened to the Interview and have to say that i'm not going to start calling for him to be axed from the team, he cares about us winning and i would rather have players who care than players who don't, we know he's opinionated, we know he's struggled for form but to be fair so have many others, in my opinion we need to get behind the team and push through this rough spell, please let's not start blaming individuals and fighting amongst ourselves, yes football is about opinions and i respect that but i hate seeing players being singled out for abuse because it gets us nowhere, We Are The People lets show our class and move forward for the challenges ahead. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj_1872 0 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 The way Barton speaks there suggests there's not much in it. Back to training on Monday, get on with the job. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,752 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 If anybody should be talkng it's the Manager, not a player. This has been my main concern since Barton signed. As a Rangers player, he should not be operating in the media/twitter etc. as a free spirit. He should be making sure he is expressing his views in accordance with the club and Manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Barton needs to be tied down, he's a loose cannon atm. He's done nothing of note for the club, to be making himself centre stage 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
