No link yet, but it's on the Sky Sports Breaking News ticker.

This guy is a dead loss.

I'm shocked.

Such a waste. He could have been the next Pele.

[Guest MattP]

What a surprise.

[NiftyFox]

I always remember him making his debut against us in a 1-0 loss at St James'. He played very well and was maybe MOTM, had a bright future ahead. Shame he's always in trouble, look what fame and money does to you if you have the wrong attitude.

[Mack]

How many times has this happened only for the charges to be thrown out?

I remember that match as well. It was on Sky and all Garry fvcking Birtles could talk about was Ranger leading a magnificent Newcastle side that included another paragon of virtue in Joey Barton.

On the other hand, we shouldn't assume that the accusation is true just because Ranger's been accused. I seem to recall that Nobby Solano was also accused of rape, and nothing ever came of it.

Yeah, the commentary that game was brutal.

But apparently without the erectile dysfunction issues

I'm far from convinced.

Aye, that ranks up there as probably the most piss poor, blinkered and embarrassing commentary I've ever heard. Genuinely considered muting it.

[Guest BlueBrett]

rape? But he's so handsome?

[Corky]

That famous night he was Pele, Maradona and van Basten rolled into one as he crushed the upstarts from Leicester on his own.

Sadly he never lived up to the dserved hype.

Nile Rangers are:

a) A future sex-offenders prison team

b) Both an underrated Egyptian 2nd tier club AND the band of hardy volunteers who keep the eponymous river safe and beautiful

c) Niall Quinn's badly disguised 'ode-to-himself' club, created in his own perfect, perfect image.

Who's said he's guilty of rape and should be locked up? No one as far as I can see.

"overnight at a hotel"... So, either she went to his room, he was invited to hers, or he broke in. 2 out of 3 scenarios she was complicit - or, if you're a bit older, 'asking for it'. He's still a bit naive though, shame as he could 'of' been a good player if he'd 'of' bothered. (For the Leicester based readers!!)

Or he drugged her and brought to his room.

How ever they ended up in a hotel room together doesn't give him the right to stick his cock in her. Otherwise that cleaner is in for surprise next time I'm at the holiday inn...

Only because she agreed or offered to go to his/her room, doesn't instantly mean she wants to have sex.

[Harry - LCFC]

Anyone remember him scoring Wednesday's second against Wycombe and showing us this?

Yeah, Nile, that worked out well for you didn't it? Don't see why managers persist with him, fvcks around far too much and isn't even that good.

[Super_horns]

Ofcourse you have to wait and see what happends in this case but he seems to be a real trouble maker generally..

[Guest MattP]

Nile Ranger has now been arrested (5) more times than he has scored league goals (4).
