shocking behaviour by Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor

By: j | April 1st, 2009

Within the world of Football there is no greater honour then representing your homeland. The honour, regardless of your countries prominence in the world ranking, is a defining moment in your career. A players approach to such an honour speaks volumes of the man.

With this in mine, Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor have slighted their names with despicable conduct. Per various reports the two breached codes of conduct drinking late in hotel before Scotland’s match against Iceland. The Scottish Football Association later confirmed the breach of team discipline, noted it was “dealt with within the squad” and further announced that, “due to a breach of team discipline, they will not start”.

There has yet to be an announcement by either party.

    Fantastic. The one match that actually matters, and that we have a snowball’s chance of winning, and Barry and McGregor can’t stay sober for a night before it. Lovely, boys. Let’s hope Craigie Gordon still remembers his drills after riding the bench at Sunderland. Bad way to start. Ferguson, I frankly don’t mind losing – I like James Morrison in that spot. But our keeper situation is pretty dire right now.

    Barry Ferguson and Alan McGregor should be ashamed of themselves, they have betrayed Scotland, Glasgow Rangers and most importantly the fans.

    And those ninety-nine per-cent should never have the honour of wearing the crest or being considered to do so.

    They have got the punishment they deserved.

    The drinking session was one of those things that happens and it was dealt with and over but I cant believe the immaturity shown by the two lads on the Scotland bench in the manner of sticking their fingers up half-afraid someone might see them.

    I respect all your opinions and welcome your commentary but I’m not so lenient about rules, order and honour.

    They have disrespected Scotland and the crest and should the club decide they never step on the pitch again for the Gers, that is perfectly fine with me.

    This isn’t just a message to the players but the child who respect them as hero’s and I am hopeful who ever makes the final decision keeps that in-mind.

    this has all went too far, they went to far with the drinking but burley shoukld never have allowed anyone to be drinking in first place coomon sense should have told him that someone was likely to over indulge. The v signs were undeniably childish and stupid but far worse has been done and gone unpunished or certainly not caused so much drama. what about all the things artur boruc has done whilst representing both his club and his country. hasnt he (along with many other players) been caught drinking too much close to games.
    they have been punished its time to forget it and let them move on and learn.
    ferguson may not be at his best right now but he has given so much to rangers throughout his career and supported the club a little support in return isnt a lot to ask for.
