Michael Stewart's 2004 trial with Rangers after being bumped by Manchester United

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

One wonders, how such an adept failure in professional football is now carving a career out as a pundit and analyst on multiple platforms.

He played approximately 180 games as a professional and retired at about 30. He has less credentials in the modern game than most.

 

[Lono]

I think we all know now what the real Michael Stewart is.....get over it Mikey you just weren't good enough,bury the hatchet

I know where I'd like to burt his hatchet.

 

[Partickger]

The loser’s loser.

 

[Parma]

Failed footballer and a failed politician.

Is there no beginning to his talents?

 

[Blue_Mountain]

This should be posted to him on the hour every hour!
I was in the same boat a long time ago,gutted for sure,but I knew I just wasn't good enough,and the players around me were on another level. Thing is I got over it,Ginja baws most certainly hasnt! Pathetic really fir a grown man !

 

[jaws73]

Even in the photos the Rangers jersey looks too big for him.................

...................as was the Manchester Utd one, Nottingham Forest one, Hearts one, Hibs one, Genclerbirligi one and Charlton one.

A total of 180 appearances in his entire senior career. It really makes you wonder why the media thinks anyone is remotely interested in what he has to say about the game.

 

[The DazzleGer]

He did better as a football player than i did i have to say but i find myself frequently annoyed at his media viewpoints regards Rangers .They are frequently blatantly unfair and irresponsible in my view.

“Boyhood club”

Fud

That is bollocks. He was 100% a Hearts fan.

 

[standardbarger]

I am 99.9% sure he was in the Cafe Palazzo in Ardrossan earlier tonight, looked smug as fcuk too as though people should know who he was, no one acknowledged him from what i saw

I hi

I hope he was in the Palazzo in Glasgow Street cause their fish suppers are minging now and he is probably emptying his hopper by now hopefully

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

So what was it?
Says in the Rangers article we were his 'boyhood club'

But his Wiki page has this...

A loan deal was reached with Stewart's boyhood favourites Hearts

It wouldn't surprise me if it was him who edited it himself. Dick!

 

[EH47]

I do try.

Can it be sent to him via this twitter thang?

He was always a Hearts fan but was a Rangers player until the age of 16 when he chose Man Utd over Rangers.

Seen a lot of him back then when Rangers played U15 and U16 games at Lochburn Park (Maryhill Juniors) on a Sunday. I have to say he was a standout at that age and was disappointed we lost him to Man Utd. He really should have achieved more as a player but I think his ego got in the way. In saying that he did achieve more than his big rival of the time, John Paul McBride of Celtic, who after a few Celtic appearances was a Scottish League journeyman.

 

[Bannerman]

Another trial at Ibrox could be on the way.

Boyhood club
Aye just like
Scott Allan , Callum McGregor , Greg Taylor amongst others.

It was never Stewart's boyhood club in that sense, he was a Hearts fan. As I said before he was a Rangers youth player until the age of 16.

The thing that stood out for me. I truly cannot believe he was ever a Rangers fan.

That's because he wasn't. He was a Hearts fan as a boy.

 

[Arminius]

Hate to see this prick in a Rangers strip.

You beat me to that post, Modfella.

Really gives me an uneasy feeling seeing that creepy bastard in a Rangers jersey.

Thanks for clearing up , headline is also misleading.
No excuses for the others though.

 

[Vallance]

Any chance our kit can be airbrushed off that cretin ?

 

[Sly Stone]

That's because he wasn't. He was a Hearts fan as a boy.

....... and ended up playing for Hibs

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Looks like we've left a deep scar in his psyche!

 

[top_cat]

He's totally raging we bought Kent, the bitterness is very real.

 

[hms]

Michael Stewart is the head of the Scottish football human centipede, feeding shite down the line ass to mouth through his bloated bodies

 

[Porto Loyal]

From memory we wanted to sign him on loan but Man Utd would only sell him to us for a fee we couldn’t afford.

Then a few weeks later they loan him to Hertz

 

[Diego Maradona]

Look at the pundits we have on our TVs. Michael Stewart, Andy Walker, Steven Thomson.

Players who won’t be known by many, certainly nobody outside of their own country and they must have less than 10 caps between them.

What have they done to merit talking about football? It’s quite baffling. It’s no real wonder our game is dying on its arse when that’s the level of punditry we’re provided

 

[vinnie]

 

[Ardoyne RSC]

He has had a massive chip on his shoulder since he had a toss-up with Marty Feldman to decide who got the most normal eyes, and Marty won.
Mickey ended up with the eyes that would scare kids, but don't worry Mickey, you can always get the money for eye transplants (at Poundstretcher they have a deal on -buy one get one free). We won't ask where you get the money from, because we don't give a shit.

 

[temperance]

IIRC he pretty much took the huff straight away after we decided against offering him a contract.

He had never Gotten over that, he’s another one who’s opinion of his own playing ability was different from the truth.

Michael Stewart's 2004 trial with Rangers after being bumped by Manchester United

Rangers News 7th July 2004

Which begs the question…did Alex Rae ever have hair?

 

[Dave570]

... and it's still burning a hole in his heart that he just
wasn't good enough for the best team in the country.

Best club in the world!

 

[Gio#56]

he is used to failure, maybe its why he is so depressed looking and become so bitter. Never wanted as a footballer and lets be honest has only a face a mother could love.

Rangers - no thanks as a youth
Man Utd - no thanks after a handful of games
Nottingham Forest - no thanks after a dozen games
Rangers - no thanks after a trial
Hearts (loan) - no thanks always injured
Hibs - wanted rid due to player unrest caused
Sunderland (trial) - no thanks
Hearts - Mutual consent - left
Gençlerbirliği - no thanks after 0 games
leeds - no thanks after 0 games
charlton - no thanks after a handful of games

That's quite a list. I always wondered what experience he had that qualified him to talk about other players in his "pundit" capacity, I'm still wondering!

throughout his entire career (if you look into it regards his remarks regarding being knocked back in every club not wanted) is that he actually thought he was a good footballer. He managed to fool 1 person Casba Laszlo, but that never lasted long (left with mutual consent). A complete failure.

My footballing career has a better CV than that.

And I am pish.

Why didn't big Boumsong not go through him in training !

He was never a Rangers fan, was a Hearts supporter.

He was a Rangers youth player and despite what has been said above Rangers would have signed him in a minute but he chose Man Utd.

 

[Haining84]

He’s a weirdo.

 

[viewoftheadige]

Did he ever play a game for us. Can remember him being in Austria preseason but don't think he got any game time for "insurance reasons"

I'm pretty sure even the snp said no thanks as a prospective candidate for them

 

[BelfastRanger]

I do try.

Should put you in charge of the clubs twitter account. It's wide open for epic trolling.

The guy should be known as Mr No Thanks

Still he did make me laugh.

I was on that pre season tour, can’t remember him even being there for the suntan.

 

[bluebeak]

No doubt about it, he hates us, McLeish and the UK because we told him he was shite.

He does not like to here the truth spoken even to this day.

 

[bluebeak]

Im not on twitter but id selectively fire that all over the BBC.
Gone down the same road as Hartson, so near yet so far and never got over it.

It wasn't on ability that we didn't sign Harston and he made us pay dearly for it.

 

[laronde85]

Wee venus flytrap eyelashes.
Feel sorry for him to be honest.
