Have we unearthed an absolute gem in big " Atomic "

[Realger34]

I don't know what's worse, the folk saying he was shîte before yesterday or the folk asking if we've unearthed an absolute gem after his first couple of goals

Can we not just give the guy some room to breathe and see how he gets on!

^THIS^

 

[chosen few]

Give the boy a chance to settle in ffs, he has been here for a very short space of time, don't think he will be an automatic starter this season, but the omens are good.

 

[MightyGersLand!]

The Big Man's first goal for Rangers yesterday was an absolute stonker! The second is something you cannot teach, being in the right place at the right time.

It's fair to say that some of the Doubting Thomas's here on Follow Follow had already written the big guy off - how wrong were they? " Clamped a peach " as Kevin Bridges would put it.

I hope the Ibrox DJ has Blondie on autocue every time the big man blasts in a screamer as he rocks Ibrox to the core.

CHOON!!!!

Oh he was magnificent! Last nights, last night! (On sportscene!)

 

[Dave570]

It is not always determining factor, but he does lack pace. He was outrun a good few times by defenders yesterday. Alfie isn't the quickest either but his other attributes well make up for it. Hopefully that is the case with Itten as well. I have always said I don't understand why Rangers don't have a sprint coach for a few hours a week he really could make a difference.

 

[sammysun]

He took both of his goals well yesterday.

 

[What's the story]

In no way am I saying he will be poor but everyone just calm down. I was told Grezda was now coming good after a brace against Motherwell. He was crap.

Let's just give the guy a chance to settle first. Great performance from him yesterday though. Causs for optimism

 

[Neptune]

Jesus Christ.......... References to a girl band for a players nickname, get help.

Weren't you around the time of the Pussycat Mols?

 

[LenzieLoyal]

What is it with this forum and 'camp' songs, now nicknames?

Oooh, chase me. . . .

 

[Otto Bear]

Zero to hero in 5 minutes.

Like Kamberi vs St Johnstone.

Classic FF kneejerk on a small sample size.

Lets review in January when more data is available.

Wasn’t good enough 24 hours ago and now a gem.

Reality is we will need to wait and see.

 

[Melrose]

I am one of the doubters you refer too I was pleased for him yesterday and at last he has shown a glimpse of promise but that is all it is. He now has to build on this and prove he can be the player we all want him to be. However 2 goals in a game where we are already 3 up and cruising is not the game to judge him let’s wait and see if he can do it in big games at big times and do it consistently that’s the proof of the pudding but yesterday was a start and hopefully he now goes from strength to strength and prove me wrong

Aw naw ! Thought we'd have heard the last of your negative opinion on Itten, after failing so spectacularly to write him off after a few short sub appearances. Let it go Gee, you need to let it go

 

[rfc4ever]

I’m not worried what we call him as long as he keeps Itten the goals in

 

[Sam English]

I'll judge Itten come the end of the season.

Hopefully once the guy has settled, he'll go on and prove his worth.

 

[Dugsy]

Can I just state that I will never refer to Itten as Atomic.

Ever.

Think you’ve made a Boo boo here......

 

[Gary]

Na, not having that nickname

 

[Ubik]

Was lovely to see a goal from the edge of the area from open play. Excellent finish.

I liked how both his goals were so different, it bodes well.

 

[Bilkypark]

Cedric Itten reminds me of a young Peter Crouch, and he wasn't too bad.

 

[weevlad]

Can we agree to never refer to him as "Atomic" again?

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Yes, when I look at a striker my question is - How is he going to beat a defender ? With pace, power, physicality ( a la Fred ), trickery ? And then build the basis of attacks around this.

Im still unsure what the approach would be with Ced the Ted, but with that nickname we need to find out

Too sensible.

 

[ensignquagmire]

Call him whatever you want, as long as he keeps scoring goals is all I care about

 

[Ke55y]

1st goal was pure quality and looks to be an accomplished finisher dare I say a better finisher than buff

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Oooh, chase me. . . .

Had to laugh out loud mate

 

[D-Von]

Yep
Same people who were claiming Hagi was a world class talent now probably the same ones claiming he’s nowhere near good enough

FF hyperbole is something else

 

[Melrose]

I'm not clamped, he's still Cedric Sebo.

One sunny day a summer does not make.

Anyway, his first goal came from a horrendous first touch. He tried to trap it and it bobbled up.

Every single goal that goes in gets a wild celebration from me, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pishing myself.

WTF, is this a serious post from a Rangers supporter? Unadulterated pish.

Blondie?.. It should be the jams..
Itten rifles

"Atomic"? That's got be up there with some of the most cringy "banter" that's been on here..

Sorry, are you being serious here?

 

[Gazzabear v2.0]

Never a nickname that will stick. Absolutely brutal and OP should take the walk of shame.

That said, 2 up top, Atomic Buffalo, has a ring to it

 

[Gary Mitchell]

It's one up from calling him Cedric.

 

[caddy]

Terrible nickname! Hopefully we do have a gem but as already said way too early to call either way!

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Weren't you around the time of the Pussycat Mols?

Colin MacKenzie wouldn't have stood for that shite.

 

[Giopeople]

I think you’re right Gio. It’s been such a long & painful 10 years that our patience isn’t what it should be.

And it wasn’t even good when we were successful

Ha ha Yeah mate. It's been tough going for sure but hopefully moving in the right direction!

 

[captcaveman]

It's one up from calling him Cedric.

Its really not

 

[Mark-Penny]

Atomic Itten.

 

[Main Stand]

I never created it, that’s what the OP was referring to

 

[Balogun1]

The players call him Ced, there’s more chance of the Ibrox DJ playing ‘I’m too sexy’

Oh god no. Hopefully not.

This is so much bolloks. I've just watched the goal again from 2/3 angles and his first touch is no way an attempt to trap it. He meets the ball perfectly with this inside of his foot.

As that is so wrong, the rest of your nonsense can be disregarded.

 

[HamiltonBear]

Walker and crocker kept pronouncing his name as "eatin" annoyed me more than it should.

It's how the swiss commentators were pronouncing it too. We can just stick a Scottish slant on it for Atomic though.

 

[HamiltonBear]

I saw 2 swallows yesterday....

You will go blind watching that...

 

[insanicdrunk]

We really shouldn't, change his name to make it fit to a shite nickname, nah.

 

[HamiltonBear]

It's so bad, it's good!

That's how I see it too. Crackin name now.

 

[HamiltonBear]

i

It's just a bit of fun.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

I am one of the doubters you refer too I was pleased for him yesterday and at last he has shown a glimpse of promise but that is all it is. He now has to build on this and prove he can be the player we all want him to be. However 2 goals in a game where we are already 3 up and cruising is not the game to judge him let’s wait and see if he can do it in big games at big times and do it consistently that’s the proof of the pudding but yesterday was a start and hopefully he now goes from strength to strength and prove me wrong

He's shown plenty of glimpses prior to yesterday. It's not his fault that some supporters are too thick to realise it.

 

[TPB90]

You're always just 1 goal away from being a world beater or 1 poor game away from being a diddy on FF.

 

[Mark-Penny]

I never created it, that’s what the OP was referring to

I know haha but you’re the one that said it in full

He was prolific at St Gallen and he`ll be prolific here,given the chance,that`s 2 goals in 179 league minutes,I fully expect him to be up there with any other Rangers player in respect of best goals to minutes ratio this season.

 

[dunn1872]

There is a wee clique on twitter who think they know more than our management team and had decided he was shite on "first impressions". They are a bunch of fcuking idiots.

One of the main reasons I've deleted Twitter. Attention seekers with their own wee lapdogs that hang onto their every word. It's the same group that start shouting Rangers Da etc when somebody posts criticism when they're probably the most negative group on it.

 

[allygaitken]

That’s horrendous. Surely we aren’t calling him Atomic.

Hopefully he will come good, a striker that can score from shots outside the box is most welcome.

I think we should! That's a magic moniker!

I can only hope you are trolling. Nutter

I hope you are right. I really do
