Kemar Roofe

[SuperAlly1990]

Has Roofe been at Ibrox on match days recently? Haven't seen him in any pictures at the ground or training ground. Emma Dodds said he was going to be at the Fan Zone today, I left there at the back of 2 and he hadn't been yet. Unless he was after that?

 

[DarthVader]

Pulled up on the way to the fanzone.

Hammy?

 

[Bluebeard]

Someone outside the main stand in front of me said he’d been injured making his way to the fans zone. I’m assuming the guy was being facetious but truth be told it could easily be true.

A real penalty box striker and a nightmare for us he cannot get himself fit for any length of time

 

[subversive_bear]

Is this his last year? Clearly nobody will buy him. Hopefully he gets fit enough to come on and score a few goals before heading-off next summer. Cracking player when fit.

 

[Blootoonboy]

Based on both Colak and Morelos scoring and playing well his game time could be very limited if he is still with us post injury.

He’ll be 3rd choice when fit on current form.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

We’ve got Morelos and Čolak ahead of him.

 

[venturablue]

I think he will be away in January if he can be anything close to fitness for a club to make a move for him.

Pulling pints at a pub in Dumbarton.
That's not a joke.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

If we make the CL we will sign another striker and he will leave

At least it makes a change from pulling calf muscles

 

[Ataturk]

If Roofe wasn’t injury-prone we could never have afforded him.

It’s just part of playing in a lesser league.

 

[derek145]

If he's here after the window closes then he'll more than play a part. Genuinely don't get all the angst towards him, he's a top player when fit.

 

[Stags Blue]

He has a new job

 

[YorkshireBlue]

He has a new job

Disappointed with that.

Expected to see an afro after his trip away to Turkey.

 

[westl65]

On

He has a new job

On a rolling contract !

 

[jimcornette]

Disappointed with that.

Expected to see an afro after his trip away to Turkey.

Or a fake Rangers top with a big Union flag across it. Was he really in Turkey?

 

[Mview83]

Back in training next week I believe

 

[wsb&warmy]

He'll score for fun up here.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

great 3rd choice when fit though!

 

[Athletico Parsnips]

We have some cracking options now.

 

[mustn’t grumble]

Don’t know what is going on with him, but I can’t help but like Roofe. Knows where the goal is and chooses violence every time he plays. Lowkey lethal baller, just plagued by injuries.

 

[Barcelona72]

He has a new job

The Keep in Dumbarton. Hope it’s a good sign they have Kemar in it. Used to be a right slop house

Would find that hard to beielve, gives the impression he hates Glasgow, never mind Dumbarton lol.

“Gives the impression” What kind of pish is that? The Roofe bashing that goes on in this site is an absolute joke.

Gives the impression he hates Glasgow? Based on what?

Wasn't it shown that he's played in 30 more games than Jack during his time here?

 

[albax]

Its a shame but I’ve started to forget that Roofe and Helander are even part of our squad when it comes to matchday. When Morelos and Kent were out recently it was noticeable, not these two. During the 55 season i thought both were awesome as well

That's not exactly an achievement.

Speaking of Kent where was he yesterday? Rested for Tuesday or has he picked up another knock?

 

[DarthVader]

So many permanently injured players for Emma to interview?

 

[derek145]

That's not exactly an achievement.

But where's the criticism for Jack? Roofe as somehow turned into some sort of villain on here, we all said when we signed him that we were only getting him because of his injury record as otherwise he'd be well out of our reach so why are we now ganging up on him for being injured?

 

[Chester Loyal]

He seems to be turning into the new whipping boy because there’s a sizeable section of our fans that have to have one.

Roofe is an excellent player but we just can’t seem to keep him healthy. His injuries always seem quite vague as well which is something I think the fans get frustrated with.

He seems to love playing for the club though so I’ve no idea where the comments that he hates Glasgow are coming from.

Ryan Jack = staunch though so he gets a fück ton more leeway with basically anything.

The narrative on here is pathetic at times.

But bizarrely Jack gets a pass from a lot of the same posters who want roofe shipped out.

He’s being ganged up on because Simpson has been sold, Barisic has found a bit of form and Colak has started scoring some goals.

Our fans always need to have a whipping boy and unfortunately Roofe seems to be taking the mantle for now.

 

[Teddy bear]

Roofe is injured too often, but sine people give the impression he only plays a handful of games a season.
Roofe has played quite a lot considering his injuries and he's most definitely contributed his fair share to the cause.

 

[Fergie_6]

Based on he’s back down Walsall every chance he gets and not moving his family up here.

 

[Scotstounbluenose]

I think some people blame him for getting injured at the end of last season, and feel it cost us the league and the EL final. Which is unfair imo as it obviously not his fault he's so injury prone.

 

[Gameboy]

Speaking of Kent where was he yesterday? Rested for Tuesday or has he picked up another knock?

Just being rested for Saturday Gio confirmed.

Which I’m happy enough with as we should be able to rest guys like Kent if they’ve got a slight knock against the likes of St. J.

 

[HandsomeHead]

He’ll be 3rd choice when fit on current form.

As it should be. In fact, on current form Colak should be 1st choice.

 

[DarthVader]

I often wonder about players who are permanently injured - are their bodies just not up to the demands of professional sport, or is there an element of refusing to play with any kind of niggle?

 

[Manc Bear]

Wasn't it shown that he's played in 30 more games than Jack during his time here?

That’s hardly a great comparator given Jack’s injury issues over that time period

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

Can’t wait to have him back in the squad. Can also play and score from the right side so it’s not just a case of him being behind Morelos/Colak.

One of many players capable of scoring 10+ goals for us this season.

Scraping double figures is an awful return for a guy on Roofe's wages.

He needs to be moved on and replaced with a player who is available to contribute when needed.

Same goes for Helander and Jack.

 

[Gazza 8]

I think people are just frustrated and fed up with the situation now.

Its the same cycle with Roofe..

He'll be out for a period of time, it will then take him a few games to get back upto speed, then he'll break down again. And repeat.

Not sure we'll see much of him this season and I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave in January.

They are coming from thin air, with absolutely no foundation. A nice guy, and an extremely talented footballer.

 

[derek145]

That's exactly the point, Roofe is bad Jack is good seems to be the narrative despite Jack being more injury prone.
