Another Ranger own goal!

toonsy

Ranger's shhoting practice.
As you are all probably aware of by now, our very own Nile Ranger has been acting the nitwit again.

This bad-assed ***** was pictured holding a gun in a story that was printed rather visibly in The Sun this morning. The club say that Ranger has confirmed that the firearm in question was a replica and was not a live gun. Utterly and hopelessly irrelevant in my opinion, even though it is apparently not illegal to own a replica gun.

This latest escapade further exacerbates Ranger’s “gangstaaaaa” reputation init blood and was no doubt a riot between him and his crew who took the photo while he was in his crib, most probably chilling before a night on da Gin’n Juice. Brap. Safe!

However there is a real serious issue at hand here. As I said earlier, I don’t really care if the gun was real or not. It was a stupid thing to do as he should know that he has a responsibility to act with a bit of maturity. Posing like a tosspot with a pistol that looks real is not acting maturely in my book.

People will say that Ranger is young, naive and mistakes will happen. True, but there are mistakes and there are huge mistakes. This is the latter. I don’t hear of Shane Ferguson ripping into work and busting caps in asses. In fact I very rarely hear about any of the other NUFC kids misbehaving. It’s just Ranger.

He is 20-years-old now, which is old enough to know better in my book. He is living a very privileged lifestyle that all of us would no doubt die to have but will probably never see in our lifetime, yet Ranger continues to act the bellend.

He cocked up big style with this one and I hope he is reprimanded by the club accordingly The striker claims to regret having the photo taken, but it’s easy, almost too easy, to avoid – don’t put yourself in that position in the first place!

No doubt some do-gooder will pop up and say that we don’t know whether or not the gun is real or not. Let me ask you this; if somebody pointed one of them in your face would you still be so blase about it? I know I wouldn’t! I’d probably need the toilet.

Guns rip peoples lives apart, and Ranger posing with one sends out the wrong message entirely. In an era in which gun crime is being targeted and has become less “fashionable” (if it ever really was in the first place), Ranger has only served to glamourise and publicise firearms.

The ironic thing is that it’s shooting practice he so desperately needs. Unfortunately not this kind of shooting practice though.

Hang your head in shame Nile!

  4. this is exactly the reaction the press is looking for. Hell we dont how old the picture is or the context. He might be 20 but he comes from a difficult youth with the wrong friends. He needs an arm around him, instead of a lot of people getting on him for potentially nothing.

  7. Big dave the best bit is
    ” I’ve heard no one does this at Newcastle for their home strip, so it shows Sunderland has the most loyal fans. Even if we can’t beat them on points, this shows we can beat them on loyalty.”

    They look like the act from little britain 😆

    Only had time to read your thread and I wholeheartedly concur with everything you say.

    I haven’t read any posts in response but if there are any who are excusal then I don’t believe you are aware of the true situation.

    Ranger is a role model to black kids, particularly from the area he grew up in, which he admits has a problem with gun crime .

    Try and justify his actions to the victims of such weapons and see how you feel when you witness their grief.

    Well said Toonsy!

    Just as passenger though. I’ll be out properly next week I reckon. Just need a few more bits of training (tacho, disability awareness, vehicle familiarisation etc). Not looking forward to driving a 50ft extra long coach around London. I reckon I’ll be collecting unwanted passengers and taking them to wherever I stop 😆
