Ranger's suspension for undisclosed misdemeanor

[Shrimperforlife]

Let's hope so. More worrying still is the news that Mooney is back in training.

We're doomed!!!!

Mooney's not great and rightly won't be in the starting eleven but he's not as bad as some make out, he was most people's MotM when we beat Millwall 3-1 at home and whilst he was the scapegoat the whole team was awful before he got injured, Cox arguably looked worse than him and got dropped in favour of Mooney and he's managed to turn it around. I'd give Mooney the benefit of the doubt for now (although it's unlikely he'll get a new contract given the quality we have).

Agreed. Given the chance to line up in more of a second striker role alongside MAF or Ranger, in a side playing with belief and swagger, I think we'd see a much better player than the one we have to date, pushed further forward than where he has had most of his success in his career.

Reasoned criticism is one thing, but I don't really understand what snide and dismissive digs at our players are supposed to add.

Agreed and I like Mooney and have felt, in the past, he's been a bit unlucky to receive some of the stick, but our playing style is to play the ball up to strikers who can hold it up and bring others into play or turn and show strength and a bit of pace.

Mooney is more likely to get on the end of a good cross or a threaded through ball and to that end, I'm not sure he gives you more than the main four strikers we have here now, sadly for him.

He is too easily knocked off the ball, for me.

I get your point , but if say a good friend of yours came into work and admitted to you he had got drunk and took drugs at the weekend , would that change your view if him/her as a friend ?

I have worked with my colleagues and known my friends for sometime so if they were taking class A drugs I would understand that it was out of character and that there are underlying reasons. In those circumstances far easier to stand by them.

Getting drunk at the weekend. So what? Then again none of my friends or colleagues are professional sportsmen.


Nile has not been at the club and given his previous I can understand why his team mates might feel let down given his statements about turning over a new leaf etc.

It may not of course be a problem and all the players are rallying round behind him.

Hope to see one of them on the bench on Tues night......Ranger / Mooney ...to me the jury's out ....and in PB we trust

Absolutely 100%.......If he hadn't bothered to invited me along I would never speak to him again.

 

[ExiledShrimpa]

Drugs are illegal. I don't support his drug use. But it happens a lot across society and if you think this isn't a common event for young rich men out celebrating on a Saturday night then you've led an even more sheltered life than I have.

Agreed , if the police raided many homes on a saturday, you;'d be surpised with what they would find!

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

So Ranger is back in the team, coming on as a substitute and in full training.

End of story?

Yep, hopefully there's no more incidents. He can get his adreniline rush firing us into the Championship.

What have you been smoking ....................:unsure:

 

[Angell Delight]

Certainly glad to see him back although he has to realise this is last-chance saloon. Any more ****-ups and he has to go, no-one is bigger than the club.

 

[shrimperton]

He better start showing something for his 4k a week!

Dried banana skins, but lets not that get in the way of a beautiful friendship. :dim:

Can we at least take the "Breaking News" off this thread now please?

And, as if by magic, it's gone.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Do we yet know why he was banned?

The club went on record as denying the Sun report.

And if it was recreational drugs, why was the ban lifted?

 

[AndyT]

It's funny, because 'OBL' mentioned about changing the title of the thread to remove the "breaking news" element and it occurred to me then, that the whole thread title could be incorrect.

Gut feeling is that the title is right and maybe the content of the Sun's story is not wholly accurate. Who knows?

Well there's a first time for everything I suppose.

Was the ban lifted ? or was the length of the ban appealed and was reduced to 28 days , and given he had served 28 days already . Or maybe the original ban was 28 days subject to a review hearing at the end of it.......

Who knows ???
