henda11 0 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just came across this on the twitter world, thought i'd give it a post. Just about sums up what we already knew about Nile Ranger. http://www.themag.co...saturday-night/ If anyone fancies qouting the article so its easier for people to see then go ahead, as i'm on the mobile phone at the minute.

Bictor 0 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 100% bullshit, IMO. Not sure how he recalls the details of what both he and Nile were saying whilst in the heat of the moment when he claims to be angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38555 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have no doubt it's not too far from the truth. Anyone know the Sheff Wed rumours though? I live in Forest Hall but must've missed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26605 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't think it'll be bullshit. The bloke writes enough through different fanzines etc and has put his name to it. Would you risk the ridicule for making up an easily disproved story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Just to clarify and to hopefully remove the doubters, i was the fan who wrote the atrticle and it is factually correct, the only credit i offer Mr Ranger is he did not over react, to be honest enough is enough for footballers like him at our club, the only saving grace is he does not command the same wages as Xisco, Marcelino, Luque etc, but we need players with commitment and ambition, he lacks commitment despite himstill thinking he can play for england, i have been criticised for using the term "gangsta", but this was purely an attempt at me to to inject humour, i dont care how Nile RAnger lives his life but if he plays for newcastle he has a responsibility to the shirt...and to set an example. The shirt is everything and a privilege to wear, its time some pride was bought back to the shirt On a better subject, some new signings and all saying the right things lets hope they settle in quickly, hopefully a couple more today. keep the faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 it did cross my mind when i saw the size of him but to be honest i was more interested in getting my point across, we pay good money to follow the team and it is heartbreak to have players who dont care, the daft thing is watching him 4 years ago in the resevers and juniors i was convinced he would play for england. Strong, good in the air, good touch and an abilty to roll opponets with ease when a defender is close up behind him. Then the game against Arsenal (4-4) when although he did not score they could not handle him when he came on, it all looked promising. regular skirmishes with the law are not what we want, and for someone who lives within 2 minutes drive or 10 minute walk of the training ground - its not good enough. Prove me wrong Nile....or with regards to England prove me right.....some hope now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26605 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I wonder if Brian realised that by caring about the club, going to games, giving that gobshite Ranger his opinion after Ranger publically gave his first via twatter that not not only would he be compared to a third rate local journalist, but that he'd also be labelled a 'wannabe hardman' and also not just a Geordie, but an 'uber-Geordie'.

Li3nZ 1 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Brian, don't doubt your story, but love the image you give in the "me / Ranger" discussion. You gave him both barrells, well done lad. Are you REALLY sure it happened like that though word for word lol? Anyway, I do like the picture you painted anyway and do hope it is true. I know of someone who has actually been in an altercation with Nile and his comrades (different locatiON), I am surprised he was so passive. I do not have experience first hand but this is in stark contrast to what I have heard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
