Still, it helps the daily record sell papers to thickos. Edited April 13, 2019 by Parklife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is everything an argument with you? I don't have to support my argument. What do you want me to do? Wax lyrical about Ian Durrant for a dozen or so paragraphs? I could do that quite easily, do you want me to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably nearer 80% I'd say. Not sure if you're implying I'm one of them but you could hardly be further from the truth. I've only been to the Bigotdome for Scotland games and to see my own club.

The Catholic/Protestant thing is easily understood, as its well documented. There's literally hundreds of years of history behind it. Why it still matters to some folk is baffling, in the modern world where religion is now so unimportant. Why do Aberdeen fans hate Iain Durrant? Seriously bizarre, in my opinion.

If Ian Durrant didn't get injured he would've become world class, maybe even better than Paul Gascoigne. It would've been virtually impossible for Rangers to hang to him, it would've just been a matter of time till a major club bought him. Man United, Liverpool and Sampdoria (among others) were looking at him. Personally I feel Scotland was robbed of a potentially world class player. If people took off the blinkers and stop being immature they'd admit that he would've been one of the best players that Scotland ever produced. I shouldn't had to preface this with me saying that I'm not a Rangers fan, but apparently that's the society that we live in. I'm not a Rangers fan, I'm just an intelligent adult. 33 minutes ago, The Ormond said: Utter pish.

Durrant was an absolutely fantastic talent who would've gone to the very top of the game. As mentioned elsewhere on the thread, he went on to have a 15-year career. Fair enough, but not at anywhere near the level he would/should have. (No disrespect to Killie.) The guy had the world at his feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory isn't the best but there were quite a few folk that waxed lyrical about Jess. He was being touted for Rangers and then some actual big clubs, I thought.

There is but I only remember the world class stuff coming out after the injury. I don't remember the same stuff being said before. Having said that Durrant was a far better player than Jess and definitely had the potential. There are never any guarantees though. Just look at, well, Durrant. One tackle and the potential can be taken away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he played for anybody else when he got injured nobody would remember his name nowadays. The World class stuff is pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that's just nonsense. I'm not in a "tizz". I just find it pathetic. The fact that anyone would then defend such behaviour is also very sad. It just shows how childish some folk are.

The topic is usually brought up by the likes of the daily record before we play rangers. I wont comment on his talent but I do know rangers fans who say the media hyped him more than the fans did.
