Is it an unwritten rule in the media in this country that if you think you’re pissing off Rangers fans, that you all of a sudden become relevant.??
Completely agree that it was an excellent achievement of him.
But would he be less of a player if he wasn’t captain? No. Thus, not really sure of the relevance.
Plenty of players far better than title winning captains never captained their side, let alone won anything.
I never said Ferguson wasn’t a good player did I? And yes, of course it’s a validation of how good an individual is.
What it isn’t, though, is a valid metric for comparisons between players.
I go back to Ronaldinho, clearly a better player and not a captain.
It’s irrelevant when comparing two players.
Captaining a side takes ability and is a skill in itself. It’s about being a leader on the park and dare I say it if we had one just now then we could be in with a chance of winning the league.
This.Absolutely mental. McGinn is bang average . Ferguson was different class.
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the hottest of all hot takes from BBC Scotland's latest rising star, Stefan Bienkowski
Commence the laughter.
It absolutely does and I completely agree.
However, the can only be one captain in each team. I’d personally say that De Boer was better than Ferguson that season but he wasn’t captain so I guess he doesn’t count, right?
No. It isn't. He's been a roaster for years. Does he still call us Sevco?Had a few Twitter exchanges with the guy and he’s sound enough. I assume this is the first time you’ve come across him?
He’s way off with this though and trying far too hard to make a case for current Scotland players being better than what’s been there for the past 10/15 years.
Ferguson at 24 was the captain of his club, his country, proven himself in the Champions League, bossed England at Wembley, won a treble, 2 doubles and was about to captain us to another treble.
McGinn at 24 plays in the English Championship and cannot get off the bench against San Marino
Anyone sticking up for that shitehawk is as much a Rangers fan as Jonny bag McFarlaneNo. It isn't. He's been a roaster for years. Does he still call us Sevco?
two faces from the same potatoMcGinn has some ‘photos’ of this guy hasn’t he?.
I mentioned this in my office today to a tim and a hearts fan.
Their instant reaction together was ‘aye, McGinn is better.’
When I then said ‘so, McGinn who has played for St Mirren, Hibs and Villa and only one a single cup is better than Ferguson who was a treble winning captain at Rangers, various domestic cups, champions league and UEFA cup runs plus a euro final, over 100 Premier league performances and a league cup with Birmingham’
‘Aye’ was the response from both.
That’s what you’re up against
