After Tavs injury last night I'm far from sympathetic on how Patterson feels.
I think some don't remember being 19. Or must have been the kind of boring 19 year old I would've avoided.Grown men on here slaughtering a 19 year old. Yuk. I'm sure you are all sitting there on a squeaky clean past. And don't give me 'he plays for Rangers', that doesn't make him not human. I'm sure there is no one giving him a harder time than he is giving himself right now. Grown adults ought back the %^*& off the boy and get off their high horse.
Or a crystal ballWee copy n paste wouldnt go a miss.
i don't see many grown men on this thread slaughtering anyone, i see people saying 19 is old enough to know what you should and shouldn't do and is old enough to face the consequences of your actions, even if that is a clown like Leckie writing about you. Did the police turn up and say "oh well, he's only 19, we better let the boy run along" ? He was wrong, they were wrong, they are football players, journos write about them, he knows this shit happens. Age really has nothing to do with this one in my opinion.Grown men on here slaughtering a 19 year old. Yuk. I'm sure you are all sitting there on a squeaky clean past.

I made my old dears life a misery at that age, especially getting into trouble at the football.Grown men on here slaughtering a 19 year old. Yuk.

And no 19 year old soldier ever did anything selfish or stupid in any of those world wars eh?19 was mature enough to serve and die for your country in both world wars. His age doesn't excuse his selfishness and stupidity.
I know Patterson made an @rse of himself but for Leckie no have a go at a 19 year old in a National rag is shameful even by his standards.

.....and was shagging OAP's too!Wayne Rooney had played at the Euros aged 18.
Patterson will be our RB for years to come.Patterson seems to have turned into Trent A-A by sitting on the bench.
Should imagine we will sign a youngish RB from the Championship on a free in the summer and move on.
I heard that about McCrorie in goals.Patterson will be our RB for years to come.

What's your point?
None of them have to go work with multi-million pound assets during a title winning season, so I would say it's a bit naive to bracket Patterson in with them.Yes can see that. But he's not the only person at that age that has done it. I see plenty of groups of kids of a similar age hanging about etc.
Like you I have no sympathy for Patterson. If Tavernier is out for the medium to long term then he’s left us potentially in a lot of bother with some huge games coming up.19 was mature enough to serve and die for your country in both world wars. His age doesn't excuse his selfishness and stupidity.
He's a similar age and maturity level. You do things without thinking of the consequences at that age. If you're a footballer or on the dole.None of them have to go work with multi-million pound assets during a title winning season, so I would say it's a bit naive to bracket Patterson in with them.
I think that Bill Leckie puts too many demands on himself and just needs someone to put their arms round him and say that they have just booked a nice restaurant for tonight!
Yep agree, but surely theres absolutely no excuses when Steven Gerrard has already warned youHe's a similar age and maturity level. You do things without thinking of the consequences at that age. If you're a footballer or on the dole.
Yet, you posted about your charge sheet at that age, as I can do so myself.i don't see many grown men on this thread slaughtering anyone, i see people saying 19 is old enough to know what you should and shouldn't do and is old enough to face the consequences of your actions, even if that is a clown like Leckie writing about you.

Mate my old boy threatened to batter me and my brother and at times did. Did it stop us doing drugs getting pished getting lifted and having the police at the door? No it didn't.Yep agree, but surely theres absolutely no excuses when Steven Gerrard has already warned you
Opportunity gone through stupidity, needs to get his priorities sortedIts hard to find any sympathy for Patterson right now. The daft boy has left us with a right problem if Tav's injury is serious.

My old man went nuts with me, when I got nicked at the football. Not so much about me, but because my mother was upset and it ruined his Saturday night.Mate my old boy threatened to batter me and my brother and at times did.

The boy has been stupid hopefully he will learn he a very good player will play many games for rangers to have rangers hater put the boot inI think they were all extremely foolish and deserve some ire - however a bit of journalistic balance wouldn't go amiss.
Agreed mate,but cretin couldn’t wait to stick the boot in.He is no worse than plenty of our own last night piling in on a 19year old boy who has made a monumental error of judgment. The kid was trending on Twitter due to the plié on and some of the vitriol was a disgrace. He has been a moron and he has fucked up but people need to have a wee think before they dive in.
Terrible stuff but understandable,we were angry because of where he left us,the cretin was gloating at our predicamentI've not read his column but Patterson was getting a lot of negative stuff from Rangers fans.
You gonna have a go at them too?
I remember what I was like at 19 years old,not a lot of sense and I knew better than my parents.This thread is not about me criticising or crucifying anyone , its about the OP being unhappy that a journo has had a pop at a 19 year old guy. I am saying that at 19 you know the score and if you are a clown you can expect to be criticised for it and have to accept the consequences.
