Leon Balogun

[True Blue Avenger]

Couldn't be happier for the big man. Listen to any of his interviews and you can tell he's a classy, intelligent guy who loves it here.

Absolutely outstanding today. Must have put kyogo on his arse about half a dozen times with superb challenges.

 

[Zandermc]

A colossus at the back. Totally changed my opinion of him.

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

He was tremendous today, man of the match in my opinion, don't think they got past him once.

 

[Bighuggybear]

Humble pie for a lot on here including myself I think the big man became a Ranger today.

 

[eeboh]

Answered the doubters in the best way possible, just did the basics brilliantly.

 

[drumbaran]

Probably his best performance for the team.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Outstanding!

 

[Bigtbear]

Not gonna lie, I had the fear when I saw him at RB. Boy did he prove me wrong. I actually think having a defensive RB might have been an unconscious tactical masterstroke. We were rarely caught out with space in that area for them to run into. Well done Big man

 

[pinkyfloyd]

What a performance he put in. Upped his game.

 

[Milger72]

Tremendous today. Don't get me wrong I'll always stand by Helander being the better defender and my preferred CB but he was absolutely tremendous today and rightfully MOTH.

Congrats big fella.

 

[RabWATP]

Balogun was sensational today and management deserve a lot of credit for putting him in there proper defending from the big man today

 

[Stirling Blue]

What a man

 

[Mustang mad]

Absolutely solid today, great performance.

 

[Leo_Ger]

Great performance from him.

Some of the criticism of him is bizarre. You need Balogun's in your squad to win league titles.

 

[IbroxForever]

Huge thank you to the big man.

 

[Blueandproud]

Big man was superb today

 

[Davieblue1977]

Superb from Leon today

 

[Cali_bear]

I was worried when the teams came out and I seen him playing at RB. He was outstanding today.

 

[Roadrunner]

As good a defensive performance as I've seen

 

[andyb1776]

Man of the match for me. Should support all our players regardless of the positions asked to play.

 

[Wickbear]

He was awesome, well done big Balogun

 

[albertz85]

When I seen the the team for today he was my one worry but he shut me up. Absolutely terrific performance and we'll deserved motm

 

[Brahim Hemdani's Granny]

Shut a fair few up today, myself included. What a performance that was. Switched on from the first minute to the last, never gave them an inch. What a time to find some form.

Cap doffed Sir.

Same here. Been critical recently but he was magnificent today.

An absolute colossus.

The squad is the reason we've been so good the last season or so, guys are capable of coming in and doing the business.

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

He played a blinder today. They tried to target him with that wee Japanese guy & he handled him perfectly.

 

[ao2]

He's made a good few eat their words with that performance. He was IMMENSE and thoroughly deserved the MOTM award. And well done young McCrorie too.

 

[barcode]

It just shows how good Tav and Patterson are that they can defend and offer something going forward. But big Balogun just looked more rock solid than those two. Against attacking teams thats what we need.

 

[dt17]

I actually think it was a blessing in disguise having a defensive minded full back today. He was outstanding!

 

[jasbear]

Brilliant performance today.

 

[billyblue7425]

Outstanding performance. Has he let the Japanese wonder out of his pocket yet?

 

[BigBill32]

Shut a fair few up today, myself included. What a performance that was. Switched on from the first minute to the last, never gave them an inch. What a time to find some form.

Cap doffed Sir.

Well said and well done to him

 

[SG 8]

I’m happy to eat humble pie. I thought he was fucking outstanding.

 

[bornabluenose]

Hat's off, he was magnificent today.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

his RTV interview is epic!

right now!

 

[Realger34]

 

[BRaven]

Can someone make a clip with all his tackles?

 

[Highlanderger]

Outstanding performance. Well earned man of the match.

 

[GazzaNo8]

Post match RTV interview was class. Lad is a favourite for me especially after today.

 

[Rossco]

Big man made me eat my words today. What a fantastic game he played

 

[Blue-Knows]

Huge amount of pressure on him and he was excellent. Fair play to him, seems a really good guy, delighted he stormed it today.

 

[DocStone]

I tell you what, he f*cking loves the club, that post match interview on RangersTV just makes me love him as a player even more. He gets it big time.

 

[Toyota blue]

Without doubt MOTM

 

[cold]

He was fantastic today.

 

[Reg Varney]

Deserving of all the aforementioned accolades.

 

[Blackadder]

Superb performance. The most pleasing thing was that they had clearly targeted the right side of our defense, only to find that Balogun slammed the door in their face.

 

[bilkobear]

Shut a fair few up today, myself included. What a performance that was. Switched on from the first minute to the last, never gave them an inch. What a time to find some form.

Cap doffed Sir.

Me to.
I love the Big Man but I thought this was a season too far.
He was simply fckn awesome.
Well done Leon.
Took a ruler onto the park and had the measure of these cvnts for the entire match.

 

[BlueNoseBlueblood]

It just shows how good Tav and Patterson are that they can defend and offer something going forward. But big Balogun just looked more rock solid than those two. Against attacking teams thats what we need.

Also great to know we have that setup, confidence in it, if we need in future

 

[China Bear]

He was a colossus today., delighted with how he stood up to his criticism.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

"too many people running their mouth!"

love it big man, ram it right up them!

 

[MurciaBear]

Interview was fantastic...big Leon gets it!!!

 

[coinflipper]

Got the fear when I saw him at right back on the team sheet.
But that was an epic performance from him. Nobody would have got the better of him today.
