"Free Walter Ignatius Wilson"

RoYo has been campaigning for his release for some time, usually puts that at the start of all his posts

For what it's worth, I think he's right and he should be released

harsh of you to expect a bluenose to remember the Famous Tommy Preston

**RoYO!** · 22-08-2009 06:12 PM

thought this might be worth a mention, the amount of abuse that rankin gets on here by some and at the game is quite amazing.

I've defended him on this board after some have branded him 'terrible'. lets wait and see what yogi gets out of him. played well so far this season.

One thing you get from Rankin is he works his socks off, and always gives 100%.....Very important player IMO

**Onceinawhile** · 22-08-2009 06:21 PM

Rankin is alright, no more no less.

I'd like to have a better quality of player than him, but with our budget it's not always possible, does a job, gives 100%, no complaints from me.

Far too easy a target. He's a decent enough player with a great attitude IMO and Hughes might be the manager to get the best out of him.

Good corner for Sol's goal; lovely pass/cross low to the near post for Deek's first. His booking was IMO him taking one for the team.

He always works his socks off, on the field and in training, and gives 100% effort throughout a game. Guys like JR buy the space, time, and opportunity for guys like Deek to do what they do.

I really like the guy. I thought he had a very good game today.

Totally agree.

***500miles*** · 22-08-2009 07:11 PM

Very underrated. Never gives less than 100%, and done all the running in a very static team last season.

**andrew_dundee** · 22-08-2009 07:23 PM

he's playing at about the right level and as long as he continues to play in the way he has over the past 18 months then i'm more than happy for him to stay at Hibs

**RoYO!** · 22-08-2009 07:43 PM

tbh im surprised by this reaction, thought when i started the thread there would be plenty of nae sayers.....

maybe they just dont come on here when hibs win

more happy to revel in misery

Funny that cos a wee peek on Keekback shows that theres been 106 new Yams registering on a dire week for them...

***Pedantic_Hibee*** · 22-08-2009 08:03 PM

I've got to say that whilst John Rankin will probably never contribute more than the odd decent set-piece and "squiggler", he's 100% guaranteed to run his socks off and as a Hibs fan, all I ask of the players who wear the jersey is that they run themselves into the ground.

Rankin gives you that at as standard.

The thing with the team is that the system Hughes' chooses to play will need varying degrees of grafters, runners and flair types. If Yogi has JR as an integral part of his system, doing his job better than anyone else in the squad, then there's no point bemoaning him for not being a Boozy or whoever, because he's fulfilling the role he's meant to. He's doing his job.

The criticism always makes me laugh - 99.99999% of us are nowhere near his ability, good enough to be playing for one of the better-off SPL clubs on a regular basis. If he was as bad as some make out he wouldn't be at this level. Football's very cruel and very fair in that regard - you don't last at a level above your talent for long.

Unless you're Christian Nade

For every artist in a team, there needs to be a couple of decorators. Rankin might not be as flashy as a Zouma, Deek or Stokes, but as you say, he does what he's meant to do. Run.

**heidtheba** · 22-08-2009 08:41 PM

Oh I did think that might raise eyebrows but no not of the Hearts persuasion. Haven't been to ER for a while however. Was a season ticket owner back under Miller in 94/95 and 95/96.

Also wondered if my 'Fulton was a nice guy' post would cause problems but was glad it didnt. Granddad was a Hearts supporter and...dads family were Rangers fans, although he couldn't give a monkeys. Actually fell out with that side of the family over it. Kid you not - true west coast persuasion.

Sorry, you've lost me. What's that got to do with anything?

Rankin's a mess of a footballer. Other than two dead ball deliveries he was a mess again today. The fact that he is 1000 times better than I ever was doesn't alter the position one jot.

He falls very comfortably into the easily replaceable category. So, let's do it.
