There did seem to be this thing that if he was Darren fletcher for man united, then he should be able to turn into a budget Paul scholes for Scotland and not be…Darren fletcher. I sort of get it, we all just hope that someone playing regularly for an elite side could be our Gareth bale figure and not just be really good at what they do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean a nice jail where he kept giving things to other people and positioning himself outside the jail to stop other people getting themsleves into trouble upon their release? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The whole McGregor/ Ferguson debate could be settled by who would wear a shell suit the best. I’m completely undecided tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m completely undecided tbh. I'd be willing to tie break them in McGregors favour based on nothing but the fact that successive managers over many years have lauded his unrelenting standards of professionalism, and wee Barry got a manager ousted cos he didn't want to cut down on Monster Munch.

BucksburnDandy Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) 2 hours ago, VincentGuerin said: How old are you? (just realised that sounds needlessly Sportsound, I meant it to be relevant) I think it's a relevant question. They're both talented players, yes, but I don't think anyone who witnessed the first four or five years of Ferguson's career would agree they are equally talented players. 31, 32 in April. My early years watching football coincided with Ferguson's better first spell at Rangers (I was a very early football addict, the product of a solid upbringing from two football mad parents). That England game at Wembley in 1999 is still pretty clear in my head, we played them off the park and Ferguson put on his best performance in Scotland blue. That we contrived not to win the tie after that night is quite astonishing. BTW not even close to the most Sportsound question these days. You've not asked about VAR, what's happening at "Ibrix", my thoughts on "Mick" Beale or anything about Rangers or Celtic. You're definitely not getting the gig post Kenny Mac (let's hope post Kenny Mac happens soon)! Edited January 14 by BucksburnDandy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Been shaking my head at some of the revisionist nonsense about Ferguson. I don't feel we've replaced him since he retired. His Scotland career basically finished after the Italy game in 2007, but aside from one game where Aleksandr Hleb took his dinner money I never saw him out of place against the best. There isn't a Scotland midfielder right now that is better than peak Bazza, never mind McGregor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
