Barton is going nowhere. He is being disciplined and will be back in 3 weeks. A lot of what is being said is pure speculation. The guy as we all know can be a bit of a balloon at times but you can't blame him for being disappointed with the way things went against them.

His Problem is that he is too vocal. Do we turn on our own the minute they say something out of line? I'm confident he will take this as the kick up the backside he needs to get his and our season going. Would the real Joey Barton please stand up!

Dont want him anywhere near us again, he's continued mouthing off ever since "the incident"happened and some of the things he's said are childish and damm right neddish. That is not the way a Rangers player should conduct himself. I know everybody makes mistakes but its important to learn from them, Barton's been making them for nearly 15yr and still hasn't learned.

Fair points lads and if I may add my two cents worth to the debate.
If he were any good and the team benefitted from him being in it then I would welcome him back. Unfortunately for him though is the fact that he's been a bit Lillian Gish to put it mildly and therefore shouldn't be anywhere near the team. We have an important cup game coming up and it's no coincidence that the team has been playing better without him so I would hope he doesn't just come back and stroll into the starting 11. He must be made to earn a place by being better than what we currently have and I'm not sure he has that in his locker anymore. At least with Niko you know you're getting someone who won't tackle or track back and you compensate for that but my goodness his eye for a pass and his execution of it are something else. And he my friends looks like he may just be coming onto a game.

Joey Barton wasn't match fit, now he will be a further 4 weeks behind with his fitness levels. Will he play again for Rangers? Personally I hope not.



23 Sep 2016 13:28:59
dressing room arguements i don't have a problem with betting on a match is stupid but if it doesn't involve your own team i don't see a major issue but as soon as you say 'in hindsight if i could go back i wouldn't have signed for rangers' well that's all i nd to see to know i don't want him back at our club.

Barry Ferguson seemed to be forgiven for embarrassing us on the international stage and also arguing with the manager to the detriment of the club.



23 Sep 2016 20:11:15
BF got punished for his international debacle. I'm not sure if arguing with the manager was to the detriment of the club as it ended up with PLG's departure, Smith's return and the rest is history.

BF did not have access to Twitter (fortunately) and did not do unauthorised interviews and book signings during his rough patch.

BF was also a highly valuable player for Rangers. Barton has done absolutely nothing apart from creating headlines for himself and the club, none of which have been positive.



23 Sep 2016 20:26:06
Barry Ferguson got sold that summer.



24 Sep 2016 00:49:54
As a blue nose I am disgusted with joey Barton, however if he were to wipe that smug grin of Chris Sutton then he maybe forgiven.



24 Sep 2016 08:37:44
Chris Sutton is an solute lowlife he is in the same category as Barton. just a horrible human being and it's disgusting that bt even employ him.



24 Sep 2016 11:53:00
Got to say i think Mutton calls it like it is lads unlike most of the other pundits, he can be abit harsh in the words he uses but i think he's fair.



{Ed039's Note - What? You had cider in your cornflakes? You would never see sky sports allow any of their pundits conduct themselves the way this numpty does, he needs people talking about him and he is going about it in a certain way and it's very wrong)

24 Sep 2016 12:10:27
Was thinking the same Barry Ferguson was our captain and top man for years he used to give it out to our players when they weren't performing the difference between him and Barton is he always played well on the park if Barton had been playing well this wouldn't have happened.



24 Sep 2016 13:36:03
Dont even compare Fergie and Barton. Fergie gave his absolute all for Us and only wanted the best, Barton on the other hand is using us for publicity for his book and hasn't got a fraction of ability that Ferguson had.



23 Sep 2016 23:13:37
You might have a point there.



24 Sep 2016 14:02:05
Can't believe the posts about Barry Ferguson, although I should be used to them from Rangers fans. Barry was being treated like dirt by Le Guen when he was our best player and had the balls to say early on that the manager hadn't a clue. pity no one backed him up sooner.

As for the Scotland fiasco, he was wrong and apologised. personally I don't care about Scotland after the way our players have been treated in recent years, but yes he made a mistake.

To compare a Rangers legend who carried poor Rangers teams sometimes whilst injured with Barton shows some peoples blind spot with Fergie, A lot of our fans haven't the appreciation of a great footballer.



24 Sep 2016 14:04:10
Ed why gas my post not been posted bud?



{Ed001's Note - there are a couple of posts waiting for Ed039, could it be one of those?}

24 Sep 2016 14:44:22
Still not on yet Ed.



{Ed001's Note - 39 is not about mate so it would take a while.}

24 Sep 2016 14:46:42
Wull73 got to agree mate, can't believe Barton is getting compared to our great Fergie. he isn't even the best midfielder in this Rangers team never mind Fergie.



24 Sep 2016 19:01:52
About Chris Sutton this is this same person accused two teams of cheating on the same day on live TV, Kilmarnock for trying too hard and Dunfermline for not trying hard enough when we won the league on the last day of the season. He also had a pop at the ref for awarding Rangers a penalty when they had two but missed one. Real class act is Sutton.



25 Sep 2016 15:01:53
One thing Sutton has got right is the fact that the Aberdeen game was a must win. For me the team were simply not good enough. Tavernier should be dropped. Most of the games we are working a back three and that's why we r leaking goals. Warburton clearly has no idea how his players play or else he would not have two strikers on the park that always drop deep to get the ball. The midfield was vacant most of the time and the majority of passes we made we were too slow to do so. Another lack luster performance from rangers and I think next game we field the under 21s and we continue to do so untill the players prove there worth. Absolutely dire!



25 Sep 2016 21:10:47
Bluewill i am gutted like u that we lost today. however to say it was a lacklustre display is way wide of the mark mate. We were by far the better team without doubt. They were poor. and yes we lost but that sometimes happens. we were first to the majority of 2nd balls. we paid the price of missing a lot of chances. waggys being clear cut. We switched off 30 seconds into 2nd half and got done by a free kick that never was. Video tech MUST b brought in asap. simply put. had we took our chances today we wuda buried them. we move on to next game and follow follow. 4EVA IN ROYAL BLUE😉.



24 Sep 2016 13:22:27
@Ed039 Sutton is allowed his opinion like anyone else. didn't see too many complaints about the manner Joey Barton was conducting himself with comments regarding Scott Brown and Brendan Rodgers. He was being glorified, yet when Sutton has debate with Derek Johnstone it is unacceptable. Can you clarify difference?



{Ed039's Note - there isn't a difference, Barton is a fud too)

24 Sep 2016 13:28:14
If u watch sky sports Ed you will see Souness and co have went overboard numerous times abt teams, managers and players. and for the record i can't stand Mutton but i think he dishes it out in equal measure, Selik and delia got plenty of abuse off him last year and truth b told some of the people on this site are more out of order towards our team/ management and we're meant to support the side.



25 Sep 2016 22:58:53
Robbie73w

The real Joey Barton DID stand up. That's what has caused the problem.
TRIFC, the gift that keeps on giving. lol HH.



26 Sep 2016 07:55:48
@royalblue. i'm frustrated with the lack of imagination from the manager. You can have all the possession in the world but unless you penetrate then there's nae point. My local village team could hold the ball for long spells it doesnae make them good. Bar thw celtic game we have dominated the ball and still only have 9 points. First half I think we had 1 shot. Its not good enough. i'm all for the great football we play a just want to see action in the box instead of infront of 11 opposition players.



26 Sep 2016 16:13:14
Fair enuf bluewill. some of MW'S selections do make me wonder. wat has MOH got to do to get astart or even a run of games etc. wee bazza is obviously a favourite. we do tend to try and walk the ball in the net. that said we do play v good possession football albeit without converting a lot of chances which needs to improve. we r a work in progress. i'm convinced we will come good. need rid of ashley b4 we get back to very top. we r all in it for long haul. FIRB.



26 Sep 2016 18:14:46
all MOH has got is pace and nothing else, he wil never be a succsess at rangers.



26 Sep 2016 18:23:49
I wasnt comparing Barton and Ferguson only comparing the way they behaved in public.



27 Sep 2016 12:50:53
ferguson did not behave bad in public the way barton does .

he done that boozegate scandal for the Scotland squad and was punished for it but barton opens his trap on a daily basis.

got to give it to barton he has a lot to say for sum1 who can't play at th speed or level that we need from him .

barton doesn't even deserve to be montioned in the same sentence as ferguson who for me was a great captain of our club.



27 Sep 2016 13:39:22
Some of us didn't have a problem with his attitude to Scotland given the way that they treated him. I for one wish we had a captain like him today. Wallace's inability to lead is part of our problem. Ferguson's influence on the team as captain was immense.



27 Sep 2016 16:03:52
@truebluesotrue, michael o'halloran has blistering pace you mean with power and strength and very direct who should be starting every week. it's a total joke when waghorn is out every week wide right and old man miller or garner threw the middle but yet moh is on the bench. joke, why did warburton buy him for?

If am right do celtic not play with pace in there team yes they do its a defenders worst nightmare Fact and thts how celtic ran us ragged and that's what MOH did to us last season he's better than miller and forrester plus barrie mckay for the love off god has sum how disappeared from the earth and we have his twin brother this season.

MW really needs to get grip and stop picking all the brown noses and start playing our best players every week. the way i'm feeling right now, feel like just giving up my season ticket.



29 Sep 2016 14:48:42
MOH has been pish for us, he is nowhere near the standard of Miller and vanishes in ever game he plays.
