Ibrox fever

Apparently, it is a malady that can strike down seemingly healthy people.

Indeed, it didn’t take long before young Master Cantwell started to show symptoms of this notorious malady.

I seriously doubt if the young Englishman is across any of the kultural nuances of this post-signing Sevco panto.

He’s moved to a new club and is almost certainly being paid more than he earned with the Canaries.

There’s a clue in the designation “professional footballer”.

His job is to turn up for training and to do his best.

Mr Beale seems to prefer a bulkier type of player, and the guys down at the Photoshop gym have already delivered Todd 2.0

Those are remarkable results, and he’s just arrived at fever central.

There must be some PR genius behind all of this drooling coverage in the mainstream media.

Undoubtedly it is someone who sees the bigger picture instead of the minions he is forced to work beside.

Ah ha!

Sadly when a new signing turns up at the biggest football stadium in Glasgow, there is no sign of any type of fever, not even a head cold.

Perhaps this is why Celtic are also trailing in the Instagram League.

I must say, that’s very poor show from Postecoglou and his charges.

Those who support the Hoops will just have to make do with this stuff.

Dear reader, my only issue with this PR pish is that it appears in a title that is registered as a newspaper.

That actually still means something to your humble correspondent, and I’m too old to change now.

However, I am not going to get worked up into a fever about it.

  1. Looks like a stiff breeze would carry him away like an empty crisp packet. The reason he is up here is because no other club in England would touch him and of course he is in the bargain basement bucket. He was told to go find a club and if as you say he is on more wedge at Ibrox well done to him, more fool Park and co.
    With only a few day’s to go before the transfer window shuts Celtic have managed to add quality players who desire to be at Celtic and will improve, can’t beat that and if a few move out we may actually have made a January profit.
    In contrast Rangers could see uninspired players take to the field running down their contracts and keeping themselves free from injury so they can move on for free or hit the golf course.
    Ange shows the right way to manage, ruthless to the betterment of our club. Hope he is with us for another decade.

  2. Thanks for the updates Phil,
    I really hope the new ibrox lad lives up to his squad number. Cannot see him doing well in Scotia, what with all those hammer throwers in the SPFL, although his teammates make up most of that number, esp. that Scouse thug.
    I feel he’s made an error of judgement in joining sevco and he won’t have to wait too long until that becomes startlingly apparent.

    • In other words mhiguel66, (a year of great births), if toady Campbell can survive world class breakfasts and Ouchenhowie training, he may last at least a month.

  3. No doubt the Rangers shall waltz off into the sunset with the heady title of ‘players with the best trimmed moustache ‘ .Looks like young Mr Cantwell has pictures of the incomparable scoop Jim White ,on his walls for inspiration ! Best in show …

  4. Norfolk Boy in a previous post tells us Cantwell “is lazy and likes to drop to the floor”. Given our referees, he’ll be a great success as long as Tavernier gives him the credit for winning the penalties.

  5. I’ve read somewhere that he goes down like a British Heavyweight at the merest hint of a tackle. He could become their new go-to man to provide ‘assists’ for Tavernier.
