Roofe

[Ten Ton Tony]

At full time, the squad did their lap round the pitch. Roofe broke off from the rest of the squad at the full time whistle and immediately started his own lap round by himself. He'd finished and was away up the tunnel by the time the rest of the squad had reached the first stand. Thought it was a bit odd.

 

[Ginger Bear]

Good riddance.

 

[Timetothink]

Not sure he'll see much more football at all to be honest.

 

[Brighton_Loyal]

Never been as convinced as others about Roofe, a wage off the books, bye

 

[ChiefOrbo]

He knows it’s the last time he’ll see Ibrox.

 

[Dontwasteit!]

Probably wanted to say a quick personal goodbye then get off before it turned into a lap of honour.

He read the room.

Pulled his hamstring.

 

[Cooper 11]

He’s a strange lad is Roffe.

 

[cooprfc]

I actually thought it was a bit selfless in that he felt he hadnt contributed to the team as much as he would have liked this year so just wanted to quickly say goodbye.

 

[Stuhercules]

We really really need to stop signing players like him and Jack etc. It is the epitomy of counter productive and means we have to buy another player to cover for them spending money we don't have.

 

[Aribo17]

He can’t really help how his body is tbf. A smashing player when we got to see him fit.

This.

As an aside, I wouldn't be surprised if he retired. Who on earth would pay him a decent wage now?

 

[elbufalo]

Given he cost £4m and was on £35k a week for four years, he has to be one of our worst value signings in recent history:

Great player, but a waste of time in his last two seasons. Dessers gets stick but he’s had to play 90 mins almost every game since the winter break due to this fraud.

 

[Shawlands_Bluenose]

He’s just posted a picture on Instagram with the caption

‘Ibrox it’s been a pleasure. Thanks for having me ’

That’s as good as confirmation without it being official.

 

[Trafalgar]

Good riddance.

Pathetic

 

[mck1872]

bye bye.

 

[douzpwa]

He gets injured a lot because he gets stuck in and goes for every challenge! A quality player unfortunately he cannot seem to change his ways and I wish him well!

Why would we have not signed Jack?

 

[1BrianLaudrup]

Managing his minutes.

 

[rinosprayer]

We’ve been watching the ghost of Kemar Roofe recently.

The most pointless of substitutions on Sunday.

A sad end

Given the money he earned us with his goal in Betis and his winner against Braga en route to Seville among other decent contributions, I'd say Roofes value for money worked out OK.

 

[Miko's Warm Up]

Standard Liege will never be forgotten. Memorable. But, we move on. Best wishes Kemar.

 

[rinosprayer]

Why would

Why would we have not signed Jack?

To use the money for someone fit to play.

 

[Stuhercules]

Why would

Why would we have not signed Jack?

Because he's played less than half of all our games since he signed.

 

[scooter70]

You seriously think most of his injuries with up us have been due to him challenging for balls he shouldn’t do?

Wow

 

[westenclosurebear]

Why would

Why would we have not signed Jack?

I'm thinking he meant resign him on a one year contract.

 

[Timetothink]

He's just confirmed himself he's leaving. Not that we didn't expect that anyway.

 

[douzpwa]

Good riddance.

Are you Michael Stewart? You look like Michael Stewart, you sound like him and ginger gives you away!

But seriously that is a bit of a pathetic comment!

 

[PT98]

This.

I fully expect him to sign for a championship team and play about 90% of their games next season.

 

[Davie Weir]

Nothing weird about it.

Clearly wanted to have a moment and say his goodbye to the fans.

 

[Stefan Klos]

He can look on his contribution to 55 with pride.

But for two years he’s been a shadow of himself.

It’s insane that as recently as last Saturday we’ve had people clamouring for him to start over Dessers.

Desperate times.

He’s done and has been for some time.

Thanks for the memories and good luck.

 

[No not one]

He can’t really help how his body is tbf. A smashing player when we got to see him fit.

This is exactly how I see it. All those slating him I would just ask do you think he wanted to be injured ?

 

[PT98]

He seems quite emotional tonight.

Just posted to his story 'last time walking by Mr Versace room' (whatever that means).

 

[douzpwa]

Wow

I am seriously saying there are some balls and tackles that are less than 50/50 that he still goes for that if he didn't he would have less injuries than he does for us or anyone else! He is an intelligent footballer with his runs and eye for goal that would be more effective don't you think? Probably not?

 

[Disco Down]

Can’t wait for his 25 goals for Preston in their playoff final defeat next year

 

[Ginger Bear]

Not fit enough to do the full lap tonight so just done the west side of the pitch solo .

Hoping to have to lift a Cup in ten days so has to be careful

 

[TriggersBroom]

Monumental waste of money and I just didn’t buy all those injuries tbh

Good riddance

Isn't that Jimmy Bell's room? (I.e. kit room)

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

I'll be tuning in to that 51 goal thriller

 

[Trafalgar]

Why?

The fact you have to ask that sums you.
Good riddance to you

 

[John MacKenzie]

Wish him all the best a good player in a fragile body,good luck Kemar.

 

[Gauche.]

All the best and thank you.
Has a better individual goal ever been scored by a Ranger?

 

[Scenester87]

Not sure he'll see much more football at all to be honest.

If Dessers has tweaked his calf or hammy then there is every possibility we may see him.

 

[CaliforniaBlue1872]

A heartfelt 9 word goodbye on instagram tonight too

Much like his career to date, a couple of great moments/bursts amd obvious ability. Just an inability to stay fit

Was just coming on to post this too.

I don't know the dynamics of the squad when it comes to who are close and who don't like each other but for me roofe looked like a complete weirdo who wanted nothing to do with his team mates.

It was a shocking look and that kind of behaviour is terrible for a squad's morale and camaraderie.

I want rid of him even more than I already did for being a permanently injured wage thief.

 

[YeahButNoBut]

Good riddance.

What a completely heartless and nasty thing to say.

Watching him showing his appreciation and giving what seemed to be a very heartfelt goodbye ,alone and away from the rest of the team, I found quite moving.

He has never, from my recollection, let the team nor club down.

You can't control your health and his is obviously an issue, particularly in a career where your health is everything.

I personally hope you (or indeed any member of your family) never suffer from ill health.

But should you ever do, then I would like to think that you'd never have to endure such repulsive, ignorant and retarded comments such as those you have posted on here tonight.

That’s Jimmy Bells “room”, shows just what he meant to players.

Sad to see Roofe go in a way, never reached the potential he had, but glad we will be moving on from the will he won’t he that we’ve had for too long.
