Defoe - Winners Medal

[Badger]

What's the requirement for getting a winners medal and does Defoe currently qualify.?

I'd like to think if he doesn't then we could play him enough in the remaining games for him to get one.

 

[The Golden God]

25% of games, works out at 10 iirc. He must have played 10 games.

 

[Amo6591]

You can bet defoe will play enough for a winners medal. And the pictures of him holding the trophy will be bloody magnificent

 

[Crouchy]

Think they scrapped it and just hand a batch over for us to Divi up.

 

[km_2083]

Today was his 10th game

 

[Davie Weir]

Played 9 league games already think today was number 10

 

[Crouchy]

We should put Firth in now until the end of the season as well.

 

[Captain Steve Rogers]

He's played 10 games.

His medal is on its way

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Yup. Needs 10 appearances. Today was his 9th, so just one to go.

According to Transfermarkt. Games listed here:

EDIT: TM have this one wrong. They’ve missed his subs appearance at Motherwell in the 1-5 game. So today was appearance number 10.

 

[AndyWebsterLoyal]

Think today gave him his 10th appearance

 

[dh1963]

Have Bassey and Zungu got enough appearances?

 

[Mac9]

Don't worry JD will get a medal.

Will always be remembered as a Rangers hero.

 

[Ibroxmassive]

We get to decide, you’ll see Barker get one as well

 

[AndyWebsterLoyal]

Have Bassey and Zungu got enough appearances?

Bassey 3 off, Zungu has 12.

 

[dh1963]

Bassey 3 off, Zungu has 12.

Thanks.

Looks like stupidity has cost one of them a medal.

 

[Kathmandu]

Think they change the number of games a few seasons ago and now a set amount of medals are sent to the club and the club divis out

 

[RobbenHood]

I’m sure the club can purchase extras if they want so everyone that’s played a part will rightly get one - including Barker, Edmundson and Jones

 

[Captain_Buns]

Think they scrapped it and just hand a batch over for us to Divi up.

That is what I thought also.

 

[superallythe2nd]

Dam Eggen got one in 2003.

Don't even think he put on a strip never mind play

 

[GraemeButNotMurty]

Thanks.

He'll still get a medal. The club are given a set amount to award to players, staff etc. In the past if a player didn't make enough appearances to automatically qualify for one, the club could petition for him to get one. Think Sir Alex did that for Alan Smith, Andy Goram and Henrik Larsson at Man United.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Have Bassey and Zungu got enough appearances?

Zungu has 11, so yes he does. Bassey has 8 so two short.

 

[Recoba]

What a perfect way for Defoe to end his career with a league winners medal for Rangers.

He might play on or move elsewhere but I am so pleased for him, you couldn't wish for a better professional and his goals per game record is outstanding.

Dunno how many times I’ve posted this now.

That is incorrect. The Club get 25 medals for players and staff and can purchase more. However, players can only be given medals if they have appeared in 25% of matches, or 10.

I’ve posted the rule umpteen times now. C39 I think it is, if you want to go look. Page 43:

https://spfl.co.uk/admin/filemanager/images/shares/pdfs/SPFL Rules and Regulations 13-Jan-21 (MASTER COPY) CLEAN.pdf

In fact, I will save you the bother:

C39 The Company shall present to the Champion Club of the League 25 League Championship Medals for Players, other staff and Officials. Additional League Championship Medals may be purchased from the Company with the prior consent of the Board. Only those Players who participated in 25% or more of the League Matches for the Champion Club in the relevant Season will be eligible to receive such medals.

 

[Paisleybear30]

Been posted before but from the official regulations the club gets 25 for staff and can purchase more but players must have played 25% of games to qualify

 

[Adam_]

Thanks.

Looks like stupidity has cost one of them a medal.

Hopefully

 

[SouthCoastLoyal]

In England they made it you only need 5 appearances for a medal, makes it easier for squad players signed in January to get one.

Calm down, fella. You seem a bit uptight for a beautiful Sunday.

When I'd originally read that a few weeks ago the wording seemed slightly unclear on the highlighted bit. I initially read it as being that only the extra purchased ones were subject to the 25% stipulation. So didn't know if the original batch could be handed out freely.

Cant imagine that's actually the case though

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Brandon Barker scrapes in with 11 - 4 starts, 7 subs.

 

[Legend76]

A very archaic rule. Every first team player and background staff should get one. In fact, every employee at Rangers should get one.

Wonder how much they charge for each additional medal? Probably £100 but you can buy them in the Trophy Centre for £8

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Calm down, fella. You seem a bit uptight for a beautiful Sunday.

I’m cool mate - but, honestly, the same stuff has been posted dozens of times. Fast approaching ‘can Jelavic play in Europe’ status.

 

[iain18(7)2]

so someone like scott wright might really struggle to get one? seems harsh

 

[GavCo]

Looks like the only player missing out at the moment is Jon McLauchlin but surely its 9 appearances, not 10.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

38 games so in order to reach ’25% or more’ it needs to be 10.

McLaughlin is 1 game short I think. He will get that appearance.

 

[GraemeButNotMurty]

In England they made it you only need 5 appearances for a medal, makes it easier for squad players signed in January to get one.

Think that was done in part because of how common it was for clubs to petition/purchase medals for the players that didn't qualify. On the surface it seems a bit silly you can get a medal for just five appearances, but in fairness some fringe players actually contribute massively to a title winning season in limited appearances.

I’m cool mate - but, honestly, the same stuff has been posted dozens of times. Fast approaching ‘can Jelavic play in Europe’ status.

I won't lie - I thought the SPFL had moved with the times like other leagues in Europe and relaxed the required appearance threshold. My entire basis for this was Football Manager though.

 

[SouthCoastLoyal]

He has 3 appearances, needs 7 more from the next 8 games.

 

[GraemeButNotMurty]

I'd expect him to make another appearance or two once the league is won either way.

 

[Carlton The Bear]

When Jermaine lifts that trophy I think my eyes will fill even more than they’re likely to already. So happy for him on a personal level too that he’s “mission accomplished”.

 

[KGer29]

Lots of our fringe players will get game time once it’s wrapped up. Everyone deserves a medal

 

[Coza]

I’m sure the club can purchase extras if they want so everyone that’s played a part will rightly get one - including Barker, Edmundson and Jones

So one for big Shane too?

 

[Hotdog Time]

It's pretty stupid. The league should ask the club how many they want and supply them free of charge.

Imagine Wright got injured in his first training session with us. On the last day of the season we're level with the scum. They draw 0-0 and we win 1-0 with a Scott Wright screamer in 93rd minute. He just has to stand and watch everyone else get a medal? dumb

 

[LaudrupTheGreat]

I'd expect him to make another appearance or two once the league is won either way.

We need to start concentrating on Europe now

 

[Britannia89]

Yes he is getting one and what a fucking honour it will be for both parties. Yasssssss

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

He has 3 appearances, needs 7 more from the next 8 games.

and our sinner Nathan misses out on one, or at least the chance to get one, with him sitting on 2 appearances in the league.

But I digress. Tremendous for Defoe, very deserving for such a professional and genuinely good and humble person.

 

[GeckoBear29]

What a perfect way for Defoe to end his career with a league winners medal for Rangers.

He might play on or move elsewhere but I am so pleased for him, you couldn't wish for a better professional and his goals per game record is outstanding.

Defoe will finish his career this year as a Champion

 

[tomvallance1983]

If he stays fit he’ll get a few more starts in the league I reckon. Especially if we go through in Europe

 

[DanEggenFanClub]

Dam Eggen got one in 2003.

Don't even think he put on a strip never mind play

He played his part!

 

[TQ3]

I think it is a very fitting way for JD to finish his playing career, with a league medal round his neck and the adulation of every Rangers fan for the rest of his life. A top pro, who has taken the club to his heart. I will cheer extra hard when he goes to get his medal.

 

[TheGerz89]

Looks like the only player missing out at the moment is Jon McLauchlin but surely its 9 appearances, not 10.

Stewart?

 

[donka]

I’m actually gutted Niko will miss out.
