My Mother would disown me, let alone my father. That's OK. Scott Wright is entitled to look after himself, just as Aberdeen fans are entitled to tell him to poke it up his arse, and get to flying f**k. I'll ask the question I asked the other Rangers fan on this thread, why do you, as a Rangers fan, think Rangers are so universally despised? In the politest possible way, I don’t really care what you or your parents think about Rangers as Aberdeen fans, I’m simply stating that any Aberdeen fan who was a footballer would also give this move serious thought. You’d be gambling with your career and I genuinely believe the majority would put any hatred or club bias aside and make a decision that is best for them as an individual. Some may decide not to, which would be their prerogative, but I genuinely feel footballers are different in many ways from fans. They are involved in football from a very young age so don’t get the chance to go along to games as much as normal fans do. They are conditioned to view the sport as a career so tend to form less of an emotional attachment to a club. They are also well aware that it is highly unlikely that they will see out their career at a single club so cannot afford to be constrained by hatred or any feelings towards particular clubs. You might think along the lines of “I’d never sign for them if I was a footballer” but history proves that this isn’t really a big issue when it comes to who players sign for. As for why Rangers are hated by other fans, I could list many reasons, I just don’t see why that is relevant? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It's quite simple lads, if you're a young player at Aberdeen coming through publicly stating you're a big fan, there's one career move you don't make if you want to retain the respect of the rest of the Dons support. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I don’t have an issue with, I wouldn’t expect you to respect him. It’s the inference that a player would or should flat out refuse to sign for Rangers because their allegiance to Aberdeen, which is ludicrous, that I disagree with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afc_blockhead Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I wonder what the Sevco trolls on this page would have thought if any Sevco player had gone to Celtic in the last 8 years? Have Celtic : (A) Played European football at a higher level than the other cheeks for that period of time? Yup. (B) Paid players more? Yup. (C) Provided the opportunity to "win more trophies"? Yup. Now this season/next 2 of those 3 things may change but going by Sevco fans logic on Wright they would have accepted any of their players going to Celtic in the last 8/9 years since they were formed.

Scott Wright signing for Rangers is nothing more than him making a decision to benefit his career. It has no other reflection on him as a person no matter what kind of mental gymnastics you attempt. People like to confidently assert that their principles dictate how they would act in a hypothetical situation while they sit wearing clothing manufactured by exploited children, or they grab a coffee from a tax avoiding chain or they drink a Brew(dog) manufactured by a company that have exploited people for years.

Illgresi Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I think one of the most arrogant assumptions on here (which is par for the course with ****), is that this is a good move for Scott Wright's career. It's certainly a good move for his short term bank balance. For his career however...I highly doubt he'll be anywhere other than playing for a diddy club like St. Johnstone in 3 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He shouldn't be welcomed back. A north east loon, self professed Dons fan, joining them for ANY amount of money is criminal. He's a mercenary, and should be treated as such. It is what it is. If you're asking football fans to be rational, again, I'd suggest you look into following rugby. Haha brilliant. There are literally about 6 reasons why moving from aberdeen to rangers makes sense and most of them are not financial. You keep mentioning this about me looking into other sport. I am maybe a bit older than you and got kids etc so realise it is just a game and there are more important things in life. If you are getting so worked up by this then maybe football is not for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are confusing the argument here. Certainly, in my case anyway, I’ve never said Aberdeen fans should “accept it”. I completely appreciate why you all now have an intense disliking towards Wright now, I’d be the exact same. I’m just countering the argument that an Aberdeen fan would flat out reject the transfer cos they are so staunchly Aberdeen and their morals would never allow them to play for such a club as Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfredo Morelos is exhibit A but we could go back through many generations to prove out this scientific certainty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give us the 6 non financial reasons why it's a good move for a player to join a club that he won't be good enough to play for. This will be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, its a bigger club with better facilities. He will be playing with better players. He will be playing under Stevie Gerrard. If he plays well then he will no doubt have a better chance of being called up for Scotland. He will get to play in europe (almost certainly longer than the qualifiers). To be honest, the biggest reason is he gets to live in glasgow rather than that miserable hellhole AberdeenHe may well end up at st Johnstone in three years but least he will be a lot richer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
