Ferguson said it himself on an interview on RTV a few years back, he also added that he wasn't good enough for Rangers. **** sake Dev, rash decisions is what Rangers do! We got rid of Jim Forrest and George McLean because we got beat off of Berwick Rangers, then got to the ECWC final and had to play a centre half up front If you want to continue acting like a child, I'll continue to treat you like one. <NAWTYSTEP>
The goal in question remains, to this day, my dad's favourite. It wasn't Ferguson's fault for leaving Caesar unmarked, it was a Centre Half and all round talentless bawhum that left the post unmarked. After the goal, watch said talentless bawhum shout to his team-mates "Who the **** was meant to be on that post?" John Greig was robbed by Connelly for the third goal and was nowhere to be seen when Chalmers buried the fourth. Still, it was the Centre Forward's fault, eh The colour version of this doesn't do it justice but I put it in for the name of the vid and the footage of the dignified rioting at the end [video=youtube;2TkhM30JmRc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TkhM30JmRc[/video]
Just out of interest, can anyone think of any single instance of a striker being sold by a club supposedly because of a conceded goal? It's even more laughable when you consider the overall schooling that was dished out that day.
I don't understand why any Gers fan would deny Ferguson was sold because he married a Catholic, Quentin Young was punted for the same reason.
Yes, 1967 when we got rid of Jim Forrest and George McLean because we were beaten by Berwick. Ferguson wasn't good enough for Rangers, he knew it and so did Rangers. He was already married before he came to Rangers, so it had nothing to do with religion. Unlike Big Jock and the Celtic pools
Is that right? I must have imagined it when I watched Quentin Young (do you even remember him youngster?) saying this on TV. Live with it.
I don't know why Rangers didn't adopt the Henry VIII method of getting rid of catholics, this board would be a much more civil place
So, they were both at fault for the goal? Guess who was brought in to replace one of them? Fergie From Dunfermline. For a Scottish record fee. He was joint Scottish top scorer while he was at Dunfermline I'm not claiming he was punted cos of his wife (I couldn't possibly claim that outright - only Symon could've told anyone that) but the goal WASN'T solely his fault. That goal and two others in that game were Greig's fault. Ferguson was spoken to by the ref for booting someone up the arse later in that game - it looks like he'd chucked it at about 3-0. I'd suggest that if he was put in the junior team then punted for anything in that game, it would've been his attitude in the second half rather than a corner.
