What is the point of that concept? i.e getting a footballer to attach their name to a column, but get some newspaper drone to actually write it? Why not either get a footballer who can form sentences to write it, or just let the writer do it under their own name?

I'd say it's a joint effort, ghost writer puts a topic to Bazza, he talks some shampooe about it and the journo translates it and beefs it out into a column. No writer could have come up with the offering a door a square go or wanting to batter kids in the cereal aisle, stuff like that actually happens in Fergusons world

This is wonderful  We were just lucky on Sunday because if all the things that happened hadn't happened, we'd have lost. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is no managerial mastermind and got lucky against Rangers - Barry FergusonBarry isn't convinced last Sunday's 3-2 win was a masterclass from Rodgers everything ran for him. Spoiler: click to toggle Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
Take last Sunday. A day when Celtic’s manager should have walked straight out of Ibrox along Paisley Road West and into the casino at Springfield Quay to stick a year’s wages on black.
Because absolutely everything was coming up for Brendan Rodgers.
So please, leave me out of this theory that Graeme Murty was being schooled by some sort of managerial mastermind as Rangerslost to 10 men.
That has been the talk amongst a lot of fans who are using this latest derby defeat as proof that Murty is in way over his head his against Rodgers and not up to the job of taking my old club back to the top.
Excuse me, but what have these people been watching? If they can’t see the strides Rangers have made in a very short space of time under Murty then they don’t have a clue what they are talking about.
And to use last Sunday as a stick to hit him over the head with is just a massive over-reaction to another painful result. I sympathise because I’m hurting too. I’ve been a Rangers man long enough to know winning means everything, especially on derby day.
But I’ve watched the game again and keep coming back to the same conclusion – the only real difference between Celtic and Rangers on the day was a massive slice of good fortune.
Yes, Rodgers has taken all the plaudits because of the decisions he made in the second half. And who am I to disagree?
I take my hat off to the guy because, as a manager, he is different class.
When he made the call to take off James Forrest and replace him with a striker, with his side down to 10 men and the game balanced at 2-2, it was incredibly brave and bold management.
But what happened next was also incredibly lucky and he’s fortunate it all went his way because had Rangers won 3-2 it would have been him and not Murty who has spent the last week under fire.
Why did he start with Dedryck Boyata and a back three when this was always going to be the most vulnerable part of his team?
Why then change a midfielder for a striker with the game in the balance?
Rodgers would have had to find answers to some seriously difficult questions but he was spared from that because the gods were smiling on him. Had Sean Goss showed Odsonne Edouard down the outside – as he should have done – then the Celtic sub would have been unlikely to score the winning goal two minutes after coming on to the pitch.
That wasn’t down to Rodgers being a genius, that was down to sheer luck.
Long before that Rangers could have had the game wrapped up when they were by far the superior side.
Had they taken one of their chances to make it 3-1 in the first half then I’m pretty sure Celtic would not have come back from it.
They got another break early in the game when Goss was too inexperienced to realise he had to take one for the team when the ball broke to Tom Rogic seconds before the Australian curled home Celtic’s first goal. Goss should have cleaned him out before he had a chance to line up his shot.
Celtic got lucky again when David Bates had to be carried off right after the Rogic equaliser because the youngster has been Rangers best defender for some time now
I am absolutely certain Bates would not have got on the wrong side of Moussa Dembele seconds before half time the way his replacement Fabio Cardoso did – allowing Celtic to end the half on a huge high.
There was another massive moment at the end of the second half when Alfredo Morelos missed an open goal from two yards out. On any other day he scores to level it up.
I would even go as far as to say Rodgers got lucky again when Jozo Simunovic was sent off because, for as long as the game was 11 v 11, Rangers were the better side.
It was only after that moment Celtic really got to grips with the game and I know from experience how a match can change when one side goes down to 10 men. The decision gave Celtic a shot in the arm and created a siege mentality.
Rangers didn’t react well to it at all.
That was frustrating to watch because they should have been moving the ball quicker and using the whole of the pitch to tire their opponents and open Celtic up. That they failed to do that was another sign of inexperience and, yes, Murty has to take his share of the blame.
But he will learn from it and so will his players.
I agreed with every word he said after the game and I’m a bit surprised that he has retracted some of it. He wasn’t too harsh at all.
Yes, all three of Celtic’s goals could have been avoided. Yes, Rangers could and should have played better after Celtic went down to 10 men.
And yes, these players might just have missed the best ever chance to get one over on their old rivals.
Murty was right on all points but that doesn’t mean that Rangers won’t recover and become stronger for it.
What I see is a work in progress both on the pitch and in the technical area. These are inexperienced players working for an inexperienced manager.
But where Rangers are now compared to where they were under Pedro Caixinha is night and day.
The manager and his players now need to regroup and bounce back quickly. By the time they head to Hampden to face Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final on April 15 their tails should be up again.
They should look back on Sunday and learn their lessons.
But most of all, they should realise how far they have come together and how far the gap has been closed.
What I saw was a Rangers side which no longer lives in fear of Celtic. I described the fixture as a boxing match and Sunday showed me Rangers are now confident enough to go toe-to-toe with their old rivals for the first time in a long time.
The fact they were so disappointed on Sunday tells me this is a group of players who will be bursting a gut to put it right at Hampden.
Murty is no longer setting his players up just to survive against Celtic. He’s setting them up to beat them. Next time, with a bit of luck on his side, that’s exactly what might happen.
Comes oot wae this.... So please, leave me out of this theory that Graeme Murty was being schooled by some sort of managerial mastermind as Rangerslost to 10 menThen this...... Yes, Rodgers has taken all the plaudits because of the decisions he made in the second half. And who am I to disagree? I take my hat off to the guy because, as a manager, he is different class.So whit is it Barry Ferguson is not the full dollar......

Why not either get a footballer who can form sentences to write it, or just let the writer do it under their own name? Then you get guys like Chris Jack who are even less liked by readers according to sales figures. The thinking with tabloids is it's the name that sells it.
There are literally only about four English-speaking footballers who can and will write stuff and the Record probably can't afford them. And they don't watch Scottish football anyway.

This is no coincidence. The same tactical gulf as when Pedro was getting roasted by Barry (Sir Alec) Ferguson at the beginning of the season was evident in last week's game. Why is Barry not telling everybody "A cannae see whut he's goat them daein. Ahm no intae aw that stuff he's daein." because they got pumped by a team down to 10 that's prone to defensive howlers? The problem is, they are skint and dying. It would be tactless for the media friendly hun to state that Murty is not the man, and that Sevco need to spend money to attract both a half decent manager and the kind of players they would want. Money that Dick Wilson said was there in October to sort their footballing mess out, but mysteriously have balked at spending on any of their superstar journeyman loanees, never mind compensate a well performing team for their manager's service with. The same kind of rubbish has been getting peddled by bloggers all over the hunternet, almost as if it was an orchestrated message. Going as far as saying that Sevco should not even consider looking for a new manager in 2018 (before the split and before a Euro quali place is even secured in this season  ). How effing gullible is a Sevco fan assured of getting money spent on compensating a top class manager almost six months ago, now believing that they should thrown their own ST money at a guy who said he didn't want the job the last time he had it (because he didnae like getting pumped, in the public eye). And is only saying that it's the job for him because he knows for a fact that anyone better than him has/will turn Sevco down and he's therefore likely to get it. What a difference two draws against the mighty Celtic makes. A small club mentality for mentally small people. It's all just hun pacification. Convincing a bunch of fannies that it's the rain, and not piss running doon their legs. By the way, give us mair money to piss away, we mean rain down on Mr Murty next season. I like the cut of your jib!!

Scott Sinclair abused so badly at Glasgow Airport that the police had to intervene. A large group of Neo-Nazis parade through the streets in an illegal march where the police acted as stewards. The story isn't even touched by the Herald but they have a piece in this morning's paper with Steven Thompson claiming that players have to rise above the taunts of "Orange B*****d!"
Go figure. Simples. Dont buy it.

What chances did they have to make it 3-1?
They had a bye kick on 37 minutes. If the goalkeeper had played it out to Tavernier he could have passed it to Candeias who would then have played in Morelos for a tap in. Fortunately for us the goalkeeper played it to the other side of the park and we avoided a heavy defeat. Sorry mate, I don't mean to be picky but I see a flaw in your arguement there.

That is a tremendous insight into the Level 5 mind.
"Rodgers would have had to find answers to some seriously difficult questions but he was spared from that because the gods were smiling on him. Had Sean Goss showed Odsonne Edouard down the outside – as he should have done – then the Celtic sub would have been unlikely to score the winning goal two minutes after coming on to the pitch.

Someone should explain the concept of Fantasy Football to Bazza as he obviously thinks it's about making shampoo up for a newspaper column!

Have you ever heard Bazza speak! He never wrote a word of that. I reckon that's been taped in a toilet as he's ragin into the mirror bitting his lip and sticking the head in it, then someone who managed to go right through high school has tried to make sense of his rambling thoughts. It's so full of contradictions and flip flops it's just incoherent drivel.
It's a parks ghoster job Ghost bluster !

This is precisely the pish that is lapped up by the Huns and exactly the opposite of any serious analysis of them and their current position.Any one who honestly believes that deserves to be conned by a succession of shysters running their club/holding company.

hibs have been down to 10 men since the 15th minute - I imagine Barry will have money on them to win by at least 3 clear goals now
