Derry for Captain

[rodman]

Before we go any further I don't want this to be a pro or anti Tarrabt thread. I just think its time we had a proper Captain

I have always believed that a Captain should be a natural leader of men, someone with experience in his chosen field and someone who leads by example and who commands respect from his fellow team mates.

I just don't see any of these qualities in Adel but I see them in abundance in Sean Derry.

Maybe Mr Warnock thinks that by making Adel captain he can bestow some responsibility on him and maybe make him more of a team player but tonight proves that isn't the case.

A few cameras and he reverts to his old selfish self.

Tarrabt is great when all his tricks are working but woefully poor when they are not.

Just don't think he should be Captain.

has there ever been a captain of a club who gets taken off EVERY single game?
bit weird that. give it to derry neil, stop the mind games shite now we have shown we are as crap as we are good please mate.

He deserves it

He deserves it

Adel is captain only in as far as he has the armband on and decides who takes all the set pieces.

Last year he threw a wobbly if he wasn't allowed to take a free-kick when he wanted to, and it affected his game, as he sulked for 10 minutes afterwards.

As I see it, this way he takes all the set-pieces and it's one less reason for him to sulk. Derry is captain in all the ways that matter on the pitch.

Why rock the boat, it seems to be working for the most part this year.

Derry is the natural leader and very vocal. This token gesture of Neil's to give Adel the armband is strange to say the least. Not sure that it makes Adel think he's more mature than he actually is? If that's the psychology behind it, it don't seem to be working.

Sorry, but in my book set pieces are a very important part of any game and Tarrabt ain't that good at them.

Would like to see Smith take a few to be honest.

Apart from that, should we really be pandering to such a cry baby that sulks when he doesn't get this own way.

It's the decision that Warnock has made, to get as much positive from Adel as he can.

It's a risk worth taking for me. Adel when he's happy is outstanding.

The armband really isn't that big of a deal. The players know who the senior pros are.

[G.T.P]

adels still an amazing player and matchwinner. its just cos hes so good that when hes bad its so noticeable. gorkss had one of the worst, if not the worst match ive ever seen from a rangers defender, no-ones really saying much against him, cos they were all shite. leave adel out of the criticism i reckon.

[stainrodisalegend]

Derry? Where was he tonight? If he is such a roll up your sleeves, never say die, blood dripping down the shirt terry butcher kind of player then why was he so utterly anonymous?

[kenny_hoop]
