Who the hell told him "This was it".

[AndyC]

And when you look around at the 10,000 fans at Aberdeen - you'll be really pleased you made that decision Barry.

[LeftWinger]

"They had told me at Blackburn that this was it - this was the game that meant everything. Bolton Wanderers at The Reebok Stadium on 28 December, this was the derby Rovers wanted to win more than any other game.

[broadsword]

Don't they get Premiership attendance figures in Scotland? Are they that insular they don't know what the local derbies are?

Does he really expect people to believe he only found out he'd make a mistake once he'd moved? What a fool.

Only comes out with it when he leaves, what a tosser.

[Hughesy]

This lad talks utter crap!

Aberdeen, Dundee, Kilmarnock etc??

Oh dear! Basically he likes playing for Rangers for 4 games of the season against Celtic! What a prick!

[Hanks]

he has to rationalise his failure to make an impact on the premiership somehow. in the spl he was a big fish in a small pond, down here it was the opposite

[Paul]

Ferguson

On Sunday I'll be in the middle of one of the biggest games in the world - I don't think you can argue with that

Is he coming back?

Ferguson

lol very good paul

does he mean the biggest game in glasgow. cant be one of the biggest games in the world. is it bigger than barcelona vs real madrid or inter milan vs ac milan or arsenal vs man u or more importantly blackburn vs burnley! i doubt it

[James No. 7]

I really can't say I have felt angry at Ferguson until now.

Why does he insist on putting our club down?

Can't he just get on with it and talk purely about the Glasgow derby, without digressing?

It's absolutely dispicable, giving our club negative feedback and hurting our reputation.

And remember, this is coming from our former captain!

[LeftWinger]

Why the hell anyone would make such a pathetic man a captain is beyond me. Basically, he wasn't good enough to make an impact in the premiership- so ran off home. Hope Celtic hammer them on Sunday!

[stuwilky]

Weve heard all this before.

Fergies quote is new - but so what. Hes gone back. We all share our opinions of the scottish league.

[eddiewac]

what an idiot, he talks cr@p, bolton-blackburn derby is quite big but i wouldnt say "this is the match" that everyone wants to win! Yeah we do want to win it, dont we want to win every game though! Without doubt Burnley-Blackburn is "the match" no Rovers fans want to even think about losing. As far as Rangers-Celtic goes, it is quite a big derby but I still think Blackburn-Burnley is bigger simply because we don't play each other 4 times a season or whatever ridiculous number it is!

To think the first game after he left was Chelsea for Rovers and Dundee Utd for Rangers, just trying to think which one I'd rather play in! Not!

[SouthAussieRover]

I hope he gets knobbled by Sutton.

Should make Jan happy at least.

[roversWASmylife]

Well, nothing surprises me with Barry back home in his favourite league.

Let him say what he wants, we have a local derby, FA Cup compared to yet another Old Firm game.

A game that is usually a scrappy, boring game and the person who cocks up in the game allows the other team to score.

Ferguson turned off by Rovers tie

I'm dreaming of playing for Rangers in their biggest derby game of all

against PARTICK THISTLE...............Well that is THE big derby, isn't it?

Or am I as confused about derby games as Barry is?

Oh gawd I hope Hughes manages to string together a good team come summer - one that can push for Europe (UEFA cup). And that Rangers fail to qualify for CL and get to meet Rovers in the UEFA cup.......and get a decent bashing! Should shut him up for good

[bob fleming]

Ferguson turned off by Rovers tie

"That's when I looked round and Rangers really started tugging"

I'm speechless, that's even worse than being "tapped up". The lengths some clubs will go to to sign a player.

[trueblue]

That has to be the weakest excuse for wanting to leave a club EVER !

As others have said in this thread, If he's only interested in the 4 games a season - then good luck and good riddance to him

I just hope we make it into Europe soon (next season) and come up against Rangers, let the 'Bully-Boys' show him exactly what THEY think !

[PABBY]

This stupid git is showing himself up to be a complete @#/? every time he opens his cavernous, porridge-swallowing gob.

Anybody who knows anything about English football knows that Rovers v Bolton is NOT the derby match in this part of the world and will see through him like the used piece of bog roll that he is.

It doesn't matter how he tries to justify his return north of Hadrian's (should be rebuilt) Wall, he knows, we know, EVERYONE KNOWS that he failed in England.

Let's just win the FA Cup and then we're in Europe. Just as simple as that

[roversfan1]

I wasnt going to put anything about this but then read the article again and want it public that I too think him a complete gobsh*te and will be hoping for a Celtic win this weekend !

[Gav]

I can't say i'm hoping for a Celtic win but that moaning s***e has wound me up like the proverbial spring

[Duff's Minder]

Celtic just gained 1 more fan
