Why Is The Media Whining On Behalf Of An Ibrox Youth “Banned For The Celtic Game”?

If you’ve been watching the news wires tonight, you’ll undoubtedly have seen all these stories about the Ibrox player who has been banned for the coming game at Celtic Park. What the Hell is this all about?

His name is Adam Devine.

If you’re scratching your head and asking “Who?” you aren’t alone, as a lot of their fans are doing the same.

He’s one of the youth players – I hasten to write that as he’s actually 20 – who was sent off against our B team at the weekend.

The media is singing the blues because this means he’s banned for the first team game. Forgive me for thinking a red card did carry an automatic ban, but apparently not.

He is classed as a “first team player” because – believe this or not – he has played more games for the senior squad than the under 21’s.

And how many appearances has he made for the senior squad? A mere six.

So we’re talking a superstar here, then, eah?

What a joke the media is. Are we all supposed to weep at the bitter injustice of this? Would he even have got on the park?

Well he plays at right back, so unless they were going to drop their penalty taker and captain I highly doubt it. So this is just bitching and whining to have something to bitch and whine about.

There’s no merit to the stories whatsoever.

Three players from his team were sent off in that game.

Instead of focussing on that the media wants to focus on this. I have no idea why. I accept that their club must always have an excuse at the ready for when their club loses to us, but isn’t this a bit pathetic even for them?

I dare The Mooch or one of his toadies to say that this is a big blow.

I genuinely hope one of them tries it. The media might let them away with it – the narrative is already being pushed by them after all – but Ibrox’s fans will be less impressed.
