Ranger- Yes or No ?

[LondonRoader]

And again, I'd ask why? He is not and has never been a prolific scorer - and would presumably be keeping someone like Mackie (who is getting fitter and has done OK recently although he isn't really a goalscorer either) out of the team.

Because even though he might not be prolific he is a decent target man, we have Mackie who is just getting match fit and still fades after 70 mins, it gives us another option up top.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Personally I don't think he is 'decent' in any facet of his life and would be a shocking signing, but we will have to agree to disagree on this.

 

[Whingit]

I might be a bit less against it if the PFA weren't so powerful and if there weren't strict rules on contracts.

 

[Essexyellows]

Well I think that is reasonably conclusive so far.............................

 

[Dubai Yellow]

For the record I voted yes. A younger, nastier version of Mackie will cause any opposition defence a problem. Last chance saloon (ranger). We need options.

Nastier in a number of ways.

The only thing that Mackie and Ranger have in common is a pretty dismal career goal return of roughly 1 goal per 6.2 games. Mackie's current return for us is 1 in 11.
And is there any evidence that Ranger plays "nasty" on the pitch? He seems to reserve that for the other 22.5 hours of his day.

Reminds me of watching OUFC under Wilder

Is that the Wilder who’s team currently sit 3rd in the championship, I wouldn’t mind him back that’s for sure...

 

[Yellows1]

BTW No thanks

 

[frenchconnection]

Give him a chance on a game per game contract....and get bradbury back here fast

Dragging this thread back on track;

I've never seen Games of Thrones either.

 

[dabigfella]

Are they all characters from Game Of Thrones? I admit to being the only person on the planet who’s never watched it..

No you're not!!!

 

[dabigfella]

If he could solve our scoring problem I would sup with the Devil!

I’d be prepared to go down on beelzebub

There’s ‘Supporter of the Year’ sewn up... ?

What is Game of thrones?

 

[Baggie192]

A No for Ranger, Is there an option to vote for Gabby Agbonlahor, who I would prefer, still a free agent, probably more expensive but a chance for him to play after leaving Villa in the summer.

Agbonglahor hasn't looked after himself, he went to Marrakech for a charity and looked to be 16 stone. Plus everything OUFC1991 said was true

He’ll be lucky to get a game for Bromsgrove United

in about 2021

Poll closed.

Don`t like the result?

Tough.

 

[Frustrated Yellow]

Poll closed.

Don`t like the result?

Tough.

But did people really understand what they were voting for? I think we need a people's vote, and a few previous managers pitching I with their opinions to overturn this.

 

[iambungle]

Short term deal til January would be my preference assuming he has kept his nose clean and is fit enough to play.

Everyone deserves a chance in my book, even if they have played for that lot down the A420. Granted he has already had several 'second' chances but if he is rehabilitated and will improve the team, then why not.

Thing is career criminals usually stick to what they know and I would imagine there aren't too many armed robber / fraudster / alleged rapists out there so there must be a more deep seated reason for his past behaviour / offending. Who knows he may have sorted that out by making better lifestyle choices / counselling etc.

 

[Grumpy Git]

Christ, If we take him on it shows how low Robinson will sink.
Get rid of both of them.

There are some mistakes/life choices we make that can’t just be brushed aside with counselling though. They show a real worrying character flaw.

I’m obviously talking about his decision to sign for Swindon...

 

[Northstandboy]

Oxford Mail has an online poll with totally different answers to our poll!

Apparently Ribbon does not read Social Media, so doesn't know the concensous.

 

[TailsWeWin]

I would think that what the opinion INSIDE the dressing room is, is pretty important. But we’ll never know the truth.

 

[frenchconnection]

519 votes 63 per cant yes so far....

 

[ThatSlopesATwelfthMan]

Ooh, it's become a Rangerendum. Excellent. One side can stick "20 goals a season - guaranteed" on the side of the number 5 bus, the other leaflet everyone that our children will all end up robbing old ladies to fund nights out at the bridge. Mous sits there muttering to himself that it's more complicated than that. In two years there'll be something involving Gavin Whyte and the Irish border.

 

[Gary Baldi]

Would we get another vote if he doesn't do well? A People's Vote has a natty name.

 

[Oufcad30]

I suppose its different to the forums poll due to the fact anyone can vote on it... IE a load of Scummers could just pop on there and vote yes...

 

[Morris Oxford]

Quite. Plus there are few posters on here who openly support rival teams, highly likely that they would vote yes to help create more division in the fan base.

 

[bert]

I don't know of his ability but if the poll was about 'do we give him another chance?' purely based on the fact he's fked up on multiple occasions I'd have said yes.

If the manager can see some ability in him, and the decision isn't just because he's desperate to sign anyone, then I'd support him taking Ranger on with a pay as you play contract.

I think the minute he's offered some sort of permanent contract he may rest on his laurels and go back to his old ways.

With a game by game option he could prove himself and perhaps appreciate the opportunity he's been given.
