Brown on Ranger

[MK Shrimper]

When I lived in London there was a poster of Robson & Jerome, and Soldier Solider was on an certain "repeats sattelite channel" (an early 'Dave') ......the tag line was.... [Soldier, Soldier] A reason for Living...and some wag had graffitti'd "In another country" underneath. :hilarious:

 

[AndyT]

I'm pretty sure, on a similar vein, Liverpool had once made a disastrous start to a PL season and at Liverpool Airport, the sign that said "Welcome to Liverpool John Lennon Airport "Above us, only sky"", someone had written underneath "Below us, only Queens Park Rangers"!

This one's good:

 

[AndyT]

LOL. Quality! :smile:

 

[Fairport]

Or the famous one in Liverpool many years ago outside a church was a board with a poster saying "Jesus Saves" and underneath someone wrote "and Keegan scores from the rebound"

For many years there was "Barnsley Boggy" on the wall at the entrance to the car park at North Bank end..on the side of the shop. I met Barnsley Boggy in their supporters club. Just more random spray paint nonsense.Oh errrr cannotvresist it...Ozzie & Joe SUFC.

Nile Ranger is staying at Southend. The club is backing him, but he has to be on his best behaviour.

Is this 'let's put good news out before we put the bad news out' thing?

As I hoped and predicted, Ranger stays as ours, although only in football do you get a gaol sentence and get to be instantly re-employed

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Unbelievable how many club rules this guy is above

Not entirely true, as a some of your bin men are ex-cons but it is well known that it's tough to get a job if you have a criminal record.

I can't see the point of dumping him...it'd do no one any good, including Ranger himself but this has to be his absolute, final chance.

No. It's just what I heard yesterday from my best HP. It's now in the Echo today, but without the 'has to be on best behaviour' bit.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest - I'm not sure that I'd want to clap him back onto the pitch as a returning hero though.
He is going to have to do a lot to win me round.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

So as per last season likely to get about 15-20 games max when he is anywhere near full fitness. Would hope we are looking at another striker as don't think Robinson, cox and Fortune is enough.

As I've said before, there is no rule that says a person has a limited or finite number of chances .......... sometimes the more difficult option is to keep trying with an individual rather than pushing the problem away.

I'd imagine we'll get a loanee striker.

Fair point, but this is an odd scenario.

I'm sure everyone was leaping about with his stunner at Wimbledon or that vital opening goal at home to Oldham. I know I was.

However, at that point, he had already pleaded guilty to the charge he is currently serving time for.

A charge for a crime committed before he joined us.

He is only guilty, under our stewardship, of what he was banned for in January.

Since then, he has been a decent fella, in truth and has looked after the club mascot on occasions, since January, with a number of people feeling he did a more than decent job at it.

Seems a likeable guy and clearly appreciates what the club is doing for him, in return.

Isn't one of the " two signings" an attacking player?

A Loanee Ranger :smile:

 

[Tommy2holes]

Do we have any idea when Ranger will get out of clink?
