Ferguson returns to Ibrox
Monday January 31 2005

Barry Ferguson has rejoined Rangers from Blackburn on a five-and-a-half year contract.

The 26-year-old left Ibrox in August 2003 for Ewood Park but handed in a transfer request during the transfer window opening.

The Light Blues have paid a £4.5million fee for the Scotland international, a figure which will rise to £5million depending on appearances.

Documentation has been lodged with the Scottish Football Association registrations department.

Ferguson failed to settle in Lancashire but Rovers rejected three bids from Rangers for the player.

But a fee suitable to all parties was finally agreed and Ferguson has now re-signed for his boyhood heroes.

Ferguson was captain of the Glasgow giants when he expressed his desire to try his luck in the English Premiership on the eve of a crucial Champions League qualifier against FC Copenhagen in August 2003.

Former Gers boss Graeme Souness was quick to seize the opportunity to give Ferguson his chance and the player moved to Rovers in a £6.5million deal.

But, in December 2003, the midfielder broke his kneecap in a match at Newcastle and was ruled out for the rest of the season.

The lure of a return to Scotland and Ibrox was eventually too strong for the player, who will be 27 on Wednesday.

What a loser Barry Ferguson is. I can't understand why he doesn't want to prove himself in the EPL. He's been Rovers' captain, the club had faith in him, but instead he opted for the safe way out and moves to a competition which, in all fairness, in nowhere near the standards of the EPL.

Ay ay Snoop whattup? This your nigga Dre
Ay man I was thinkin I ain't said shit on your whole motherfuckin album
So check it out, put this on there:
All you motherfuckin haters out there, can suck my motherfuckin dick!
And we still smokin, what?!

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
For the nigga who be talkin loud and holdin his dick
Talkin shit, he better LAY LOW
For the bitch that said I shot some shit up out of my dick
Now she sick, she better LAY LOW
For the niggaz who be claimin my hood
and really ain't from my gang, better LAY LOW
I hope he don't be thinkin I'm just talkin
and I won't do a thing, really HOPE SO!

[Snoop Dogg]
Hmm, lay low, nobody move until I say so
Limo tint rollin deep like the President
See I don't go to clubs, I never chase a bitch (beitch)
I'm here to bang that gangsta shit to the apocalypse
We call it stress, some of y'all call it chocolate
Return of the Top Dogg, and ain't no stoppin this
Whatever the case, I ain't tryin to catch it
Lay low, blow big dope, and slang records
Unseen but well heard, do not disturb
The only reason you alive cause I ain't sent the word
I flip, faster than birds, Snoop Dogg will emerge
from the smoke and go loc, you shouldn't provoke
I bring the worst from the L.B.C.
Smash motherfuckers thinkin they gon' smash on me
Snoop and Dre give a FUCK about what y'all say
From the "World's Most Dangerous Group" - N.W.A
Ay, ay

[Butch Cassidy]
Our rise, it was no surprise
I always knew these fools would trip
Hatin, fakin, schemin on mine
and on the down low talkin shit
Best move cause I refuse to lose
no matter which damn road I choose
So lay low cause you might be bruised
Top story on the evening news
I ain't for games, so if you wanna play 'em lay low
Lay down on the floor
I'm in a rage, so if we gotta do this let me know
That's what I came fo'

[Goldie Loc - Eastsidaz]
Where that nigga who be talkin shit?
He don't come around no more because I fucked his bitch
I made her suck my dick, while I was squeezin the tits
Then I hit it from the back, gripped tight on them hips
She tried to make me cum, but I was tryin to take her home
Dropped you off and seen you fishin on your raggedy Brougham
Coulda thumped you and the dog (you little fag)
And don't sag too hard, you show everybody your thong

[Tray Deee - Eastsidaz]
Booyaka booyaka, we bring it straight to ya
From 22's to Luger's the shit that shoot through ya
Who you motherfuckers think the Top Dogg bang with?
The same click he came with and made the game flip
Now niggaz grow they hair, hope they stayin act hard
That's even tho' yo' CEO talk shit get slapped hard
The backyard is where we get our scrap on
The black car drive by then you get capped on

[Master P]
Whassup pimpin? It's P and Snoop
With Dre on the beat, this ain't nuttin but loot
They call me Carlos*hammer for all the bread I got
but they call me Bill Clinton for all the head I got
I keeps it real-ah, cause I'm all about my scrilla
The ladies love me cause I'm a million dolla hitta
It's, No Limit til I D-I-E
C-P-3, or Richmond, Cali's where I be

Yep Barry has found it too hard in E*****d and wants back to skoosh cases against diddy teams.

And just so the Rangers fans don't accuse me of the obvious could I just add that Charlie Nicholas was a failure in E*****d as well.

So it's not Old Firm sour grapes - I promise!

 

[kobashi]

Barry ferguson was not a failure. he has been blackburn's best player when he been fit. the guy is pure quality! why should of he stay at blackburn? the club is fighting relegation, club's average attendance is below 20,000.

the club is going nowhere. also lets not forget that his family was not settled. believe it or not but football players do have wfie and kids. he has to do whats right for his family also.

 

[AberdeenFC]

brian...what the fúck

anyway, what-a-twat. im gutted about this move more from a scotland point of view than aberdeen. i would of much prefered our captain was at blackburn competing against the best in (probably) the best league in the world. but no, hed rather come back to the SPL.... he'd rather trade trips to anfield, old trafford & stamford bridge in favour of some good old visits to the caledonian staduim, almondale & east end park!!

Here's an answer to one of the questions

Why should he have stayed at Blackburn when they are fighting relegation?

To help get them out of the situation.

Also you say his family were not settled there.



WRONG!

In fact Barry was the one who wanted back to play for Rangers. He has admitted as much today. I hear his son was playing in a team of his own down there too.

My own take on the move is that it is a PR move for David Murray(Rangers' owner) and that type of move has gone belly-up for him before. Also its pretty rare for a player to be as effective in their second spell at a club.

We'll have to wait and see!

The Parable of the Proddygal Son

-----------------------------------------

So wee Bazza did see the bright lights of the Premiership and he thought unto himself "Ah'm gonnae go doon their an be a pure magic fitba player byraway". Upon his arrival at the Rovers of Blackburn he did proclaim "this is pure gallous". Over time though, young Barry did begin to believe that he maybe wasn't in the same class as Viera, Keane, Gerrard, Lampard and even Gary Flitcroft. At the same time, wee Senga Goshin was finding it hard to get used to the fact that their local Asian convenience store was not a recognised stockist of the wine from the abbey of Buckfast and lo she did proclaim "bazza, this is pure gash byraway, ah wannae go hame fur the wine and the kebabs like".

Wee Bazza did agree and sent his agent forth to the Castle of the Greyskull to whisper in the ear of the ginger one 'Wee Bazza doesnae like it living 2 hours away, want tae sign him?'. The Welsh boy willnae let him play sojers and he wants to come hame byraway'. The Ginger one thought to himself "hmm, wee Bazza or Mladenovic? I think i shall be entering into a purchase of a wee bazza'

And so it was proclaimed that on the 31st day of the new year that wee Bazza and his brood would be towing the caravan back up the M6, A74, M74 and M8 back to the land of the wine that is of a tonic variety. And so the hordes rejoiced and the wee Kebab man put in an order for a new car in anticipation of the fortune he would make.

In a quiet corner of the Broomloan Road stand, Chick Young did masturbate.

 

[kickin_kyle]

plus he really likes them trophies...

 

[mac10]

Class having Barry back and all these muppets claiming he's failed etc can all go f*** themselves...how would you know?

 

[Jambo Den]

He wasn't good enough for the EPL, and couldn't take being a small fish in a big pond. Also, greetin' about missin a square sausage roll from Jaconelli's when you're a 2 hour drive away from Glesga - ha!

If that's not failing, then someone hit me with a dictionary.

 

[bjmenge]

WHACK!

You're probably right, Den, but I just wanted to have a go at you with a large book.

[AberdeenFC]

hmmmm!! where would he fit in centre mid for chelsea? you think he'd push makalele or lampard out the team? our liverpool... like he's gonna push gerrard or xabi out. hes been so average in the premiership and hes so average for scotland... i guess hes just average!
