Scored for Swindon tonight to help put QPR out of the League Cup. Loftus Road is where I first saw him, in a reserve match the best part of five years ago. Thought he had massive potential, which is why I'm a translator and not a football scout.

 

I swear though, if Nile Ranger gets further in this competition than we do... :cantlook:

Wasn't it a kids game?

 

Either way, that this guy is still a professional footballer is unsettling.

Could well be. He was the only thing worth remembering about the experience (well, that and the dashing company, obviously).

He's a good footballer - he wasn't far off Carroll at one stage, he's just a complete, utter prick.

Aye he had potential, but unfortunately he's a complete and utter knacker. You'd think it must have clicked for him after spending 5 month without a club and then ending up where he is now.

That would require a basic intelligence, something Wor Nile is utterly bereft of. ;)

What a tragedy this man is. I remember when I saw him playing his first games for Newcastle, how promising he looked. It was in the Championship if I remember correctly and I think he won Man of the Match in one of his first couple of games. Really thought he could be the real deal.

It's a shame to see wasted potential but he's no-one to blame but himself. He's had plenty of second chances but will end up on the scrapheap and possibly in prison because of his poor choices and attitude. And no-one will care from a footballing pov, because he's achieved nothing.

I heard Sunderland were willing to give him another shot. Trellis Short was checking him out.

Aye, they were spotted having lunch at Rangers favourite Poul-tree restaurant. I'd hedge my bets that it was nandos.

A former Premier League footballer raped a woman in a hotel after pestering her for weeks "to be his girl", a court has heard.

 

Former Newcastle United striker Nile Ranger, 22, is accused of raping the woman after the pair had been out together in January last year.

 

The player, who is now with League One Swindon Town, denies the charge.

 

Newcastle Crown Court heard the woman woke naked next to Mr Ranger not knowing where she was.

 

Christine Egerton, prosecuting, said the alleged victim could remember being with the footballer at Empress bar in Newcastle, where he bought them drinks, but could remember nothing more until she woke up naked in a hotel room the next day.

 

'Morning after pill'

 

She told the jury: "She has no recollection that evening of going to a different place, but when she woke up she knew she had been there because she had a stamp on her hand."

 

Ms Egerton told the court that Mr Ranger told her they had had sex and that she needed to take the morning after pill. She said she then got dressed, called a taxi and left.

 

Ms Egerton said it was "crystal clear that she was not consenting" as "she was so incapacitated by drink or something unknown that she found it difficult to walk and has no memory whatsoever of what occurred".

 

The court was played an interview the alleged victim conducted with the police, where she said:"I was feeling really sick, I cannot explain how I felt, I have never felt like that before. I did not feel like I was there."

 

CCTV footage was also shown of the pair arriving in a taxi at the Carlton Hotel in Jesmond, Newcastle, where she can be seen falling out of the car.

 

The jury heard Mr Ranger had been messaging her in the weeks before and would always come and talk to her when they met in clubs.

 

But the court was told she had always told him she was not interested and said she had a boyfriend.

 

'Kissing her neck'

 

Ms Egerton added: "As far as he was concerned he wanted something more and it went further than that because he had been pestering her for some time.

 

"In the days and weeks before this allegation they had been communicating by text and in these communications he had asked her to be his girl."

 

The court was told on a previous occasion she had gone back to a hotel with him as he said he wanted to talk to her.

 

The jury heard he had started kissing her neck and touching her leg, but she had not wanted him to do that, so when he went to the bathroom, she had left the hotel and got a taxi home.

 

After being arrested Mr Ranger told police they had twice had sex and she had consented "whole heartedly" and "enthusiastically".

 

The trial continues.

 

While I still have no idea whether he raped her or not, this girl is saying that she made it clear to him that she wasn't interested and had a boyfriend yet still went out on a date with him and went back to a hotel with him for the second time? I wouldn't be surprised if he gets off.

 

I did think that the 'Morning pet, don't forget your morning after pill' was a romantic touch.
