Nile Ranger.... Position untenable.

Very good post Sandra, and we have been patient with the players, it's when Pards comes out with a load of rubbish, trying to cover his own back that it gets to us a bit.

I hate booing and at the risk of being lynched, think that idiot Nile Ranger has a point. The problem is that he is not the appropriate person to make that point.It's interesting to me to see how some fans are full of praise for the players when things are going well. When they're not, money seems to get mentioned a lot -- how overpaid these lazy, indifferent sods are. How they really don't care and are only in it for the money. Well, I get paid for going to work. I'm "in it for the money", you might say. But when I'm working, I want to be the best I can be and give 100%. And never once do I think about money. I don't believe for a minute that even the much-maligned Shola is out there on the pitch thinking "I don't really give a crap, so what if we lose. As long as I get paid. that's all I care about".

I know people are feeling fed up and demoralised -- the last couple of months have been one disaster after another. And with the captain leaving (as I know he is definitely doing), relegation seems assured. I just don't believe you get the best from people by booing, turning your back, walking out, swearing at them and insulting them.

Rob Elliott after the Brighton fiasco: "“The players really appreciate the fans. It is always mentioned in the dressing room before the games. It is hard but we want the support to keep coming.....The fans were brilliant on Saturday. I have never known a crowd when you have lost 2-0 away from home to turn round and give you appreciation like that. Credit to them, they are showing great patience."

This sums up my feelings. While I hate booing, no fan deserves to be on the end of Niles wisdom.

Thanks AB. I do understand how hard to take it must be when you are sitting at the game in a blizzard and you are so damn tired of signing "O Coloccini, you are the love of my life..." and the team is playing so badly that it's just plain embarrassing.

I only watched the game on TV in airconditioned comfort (it was around 100 degrees here) and still I shed a tear, big wuss that I am.

Sammy needs to realise where his bread is buttered. I had high hopes for the lad and he's gone from promising to a lazy **** in my eyes.
Maybe he has been hanging with the Gangsta boys too much and he thinks he has made it or something.

Goodness, please don't lump Sammy in with Ranger!!

Sammy has tweeted: What Nile said after the game was wrong and I only meant to shut him up but you obviously took it the wrong way so for that I apologise.

Fair points you make there Sandra. Difference is Rob Eliott clearly has enough brain cells to both appreciate the support and say the right things about it. Ranger is clueless and has gone about his rant in the wrong way. He had very little respect from the fans in the first place. Now he'll be lucky if he has any at all.

Sounds like something that Obi might be interested in.

At least the lad has the balls to apologise.
Still want to see him try a bit harder on the pitch though, he was on the up last year and seems to have gone backwards.

 

[Consett Mag]

I forgive Sammy and accept his apology.

But Ranger should have his contract terminated immediately.

As a player ranger clearly has talent and potential. He's been involved in England at Under 19 level and had a decent goal record and first thing shearer did as manager was to offer him a long term deal because of the promise he saw. I'm not too bothered about what he says on twitter because he has a point but the way he puts it across leaves a lot to be desired, my main problem with him is that when he rarely makes a appearance on the pitch he is worse than useless and puts very little effort in, unless he receives the perfect pass he gets frustrated and acts like its everyone else's fault for not putting a chance on a plate for him

Master Shola obviously taught this young Padawan well.

Forest Hall…….home of Newcastle’s finest and Nile Ranger (future England international)

The Reading game has to be particularly disappointing, it was a must win game, and the thought of defeat was really unbearable.

So, heading off to drown my sorrows, my thoughts turned to what had just happened and I very nearly passed on the pub and headed home. I live in Forest Hall which is home to a decent shopping centre, couple of good clubs, a lively pub, some strange characters…and of course Nile Ranger.

Instead I met the lads in The Junction and had a few after match sorrow drowning bottles…out of the blue my phone vibrated and it was a mate who for some obscure reason follows Nile Ranger on twitter, he texted me Nile Ranger’s latest tweet from after the game.

Nileranger@Nilepowerranger “certain fans need to not come and support this team..coming to BOOO us..Stay at home..Dont need your Boo’s…say no more!!!!

Now living in Forest Hall I get the chance to go to the training ground to watch the reserves and juniors, four years ago I made the bold prediction that young Nile would play for England within five years.

Anyway, back to Saturday night and I headed home to Forest Hall for a few more beers with the Mrs before heading for home via the Chinese takeaway.

Whilst waiting for the food I noticed the Charcoal/Black Range Rover pull up outside, then the occupant jumped out and came into the very takeaway I was in. This car by the way seems to be double parked at lots of strange hours outside Bet Fred in Forest Hall, I do know the Roulette machines do very well for some reason.

Now let’s face it, Nile is a big lad, while I am not the most fit of 48 year old blokes. However, I have followed this club for 41 years, and while I don’t boo very often I was not going to let this “gangsta man” get away with telling us how to support our club

We then had the following conversation, which got quite heated on my part, and the only credit I offer him is he did not overreact.

Me: You were wrong to tweet what you did about Newcastle fans today.

NR: No I wasn’t.

Me:Yes you were, you’ve got no right to tell us how to support the team, the fact is the manager got it wrong today.

NR: Booing still does not help.

Me: I agree but we pay lots of money to watch that sh*te, money some of us don’t have, not that it would bother you.

I then left and was going out the door when he winked and grinned at me, in what can only be described as a sarcastic manner, so straight back in I went with a slightly more raised voice.

Me: You think it’s funny do you? You know there were 2000 supporters who did a 720 mile round trip to Brighton a fortnight ago, to watch people like you not be interested, it was an insult, I know cos I was one of them.

NR: Nobody makes you go.

Me: Then another 500 mile round trip for the loyal ones to Norwich and you don’t give a toss.

I then ranted…

Me: You know 4 years ago I told quite a few people that you would play for England within 5 years.

NR: I will play for England one day.

Me (laughing): Play for England, you can’t even get out of bed to get to training on time, Sheffield Wednesday did not want you, quite frankly you’re not good enough for Darlington and they went out of the league 2 years ago, why were you not playing today?

NR : Manager’s choice who he picks.

Me: Fact is you’re not bothered, you don’t know what it means to wear that shirt, it is everything to people from here, go and ask Peter Beardsley who just happens to be from the area. I’ll be at Aston Villa a week Tuesday, will you be?

NR……………………….no reply

For a few seconds I thought I would ask what happened at Southampton when he suddenly found himself out the door, Southampton – a team who have produced quality of the likes of Walcott and Bale, he could and should have learnt so much.

I could see now he was getting irritated himself and the takeaway owners were also getting nervous, the Mrs had long since scarpered, I then mumbled something about him needing some life coaching in the often lively Flying Scotsman, but again he had no answers so I left him to his curry and chips, yes that is what he ordered.

His Range Rover still had its engine running parked across 2 bays but hey he is Nile Ranger so it is ok.

For unlucky people like you and me we have no choice, we love our club and I have written so many times that players (and owners) come and go but fans are for life. Nile Ranger in my eyes epitomises everything that is wrong with the modern day footballer, he really has no idea nor does he care, and that is appalling at best..

I am sure I will see him again, I will just pop into Bet Fred one afternoon, and I am sure he and his “gangsta” mates will be swamping the roulette machines, good example for sure.

There are so many stories that go around Forest Hall regarding Mr Ranger, including the real reason Sheffield Wednesday did not want him, or should I say the reason he did not stay, but I daresay it would be risky publishing something that may not be true, although my gut feeling is everything I hear is true.

A recent article in one of the Fanzines was entitled ‘End of the Nile’, he clearly does not want to be a footballer, get rid now, that is what I say.

 

[TheJudeanPeoplesFront]

I'm not surprised players are so disconnected from their fan-base these days. I think he'll regret his choices further down the line, but as it is now (or soon) I'm glad we'll have enough back-up to never see him again.

 

[abc CissesCurriedGoat abc]

He got lucky he was playing well while our starting strikers were injured and he was showing potential. The board (and all of us) thought they were doing the right thing by tying him down with a long-term deal. Little did we know he is that sort of idiot

 

[Longi]

Obviously man's deluded and is still living off the hype of 3 years ago.

[Beardsley's Rancid Sack]

He's the sort of **** that gives ****s a bad name.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

Been trouble everywhere he has been. We were not sorry to see him go, just don't understand how you got lumbered with him.
