Guys -- You're embarrassing yourselves with these static images. Gifs are the only way to go.

You and your logic. Leave me with my indignation!

I'd love to get Goss on a permanent deal; I'd fork out a few million for him...

It's probably right. His legs have gone, but he's still got a nice touch; he'd need to be the focal point of a team, which is not possible at Rangers. Moreover, we've signed a few midfielders that are ahead of him in the pecking order. I wished we had managed to sign him a few years earlier. Good player in his time.

I'd prefer Halliday to Hodson; he's a better all-rounder, with a better attacking game. I think we'll see Halliday in for the next couple of games, with Wallace drip-fed minutes here and there.

Where was his warning for Jack?

It's one of the things I like about Alves -- an almost 80% win rate in the air is phenomenal!

Oh no...

Arsenal could play here all day and not score; brutal performance. Neville said on commentary, for all their issues Arsenal always at least played good football, but they don't even do that anymore.

Dammit. Jinxed it with the Gif...

Brother Madden...

They could, but they're not the same type of player; they would naturally drift up top, leaving us exposed in the middle. Also, Cummings doesn't do the running the other two do. Morelos can run, but doesn't have the control or vision. Docherty -- and to lesser extent Murphy -- are the only ones I can see as being direct replacements for Windass; and both were on the pitch or had already been subbed (?). This is just my opinion, of course...

It wasn't even a foul by that 'well player...

Regardless of the maths, I don't see it either.

He's scored against Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs, as well as assisting against Aberdeen (twice) and Hibs; he's directly contributed to 6 goals against the top-5 -- we've not actually scored against Celtic so he's no better or worse than the rest of our players in that regard. What you're saying is (Coop), 'I don't like him, and no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince me otherwise, so I'll continue to make things up to suit my baseless opinion'.

Whether you thought WIndass or Morelos was better on the day is irrelevant (not much in it for me). I think it's just a normal sub to freshen things up. We have a direct replacement for Morelos -- he does fade out of games towards the end, and had ran his game -- in Cummings, but we don't have a ready replacement for Windass, or at least not without changing the system; it would've been negligent on Murty's part to change things too much when we were doing so well. If we bring in a ready replacement for Windass then we'll see him getting subbed earlier when he's not on his game.

The table's looking a lot nicer. If only we'd taken an extra few points earlier in the season...

We have this problem with players over the long-term too: when they don't do anything in 1-2 games, they're 'shite', we want them out; that's too soon. It's taken Windass a season to get into this goal-scoring form. Most would've had Tavernier sold after 2 games; he's now arguably our best player. Patience.

Windass was anonymous the first half, but the second half he was everywhere. He just couldn't score; it just wasn't his day. This is our problem: we want him shafted after 20 minutes, then for him to score goals and create dangerous chances. He was poor first-half, but he was at the heart of every decent move in the second.

I thought it was a penalty as soon as I saw it; it's even worse from the replay. The only defence is that it was close; perhaps too close at full speed?
