Bollocks. You're writing players off after one game.

Get a grip.

Davies...no other alternative...shoehorning a right sided CDM (Sands), and a RCB (Souttar) in the position is not wise...as we have seen.

Just exactly how many times have you seen these three playing?.

Aye, he looks a player. 

Yes and no. I lost a sister at a similar age, to a long illness, whilst it's good in a way to no longer see your loved one suffer, the loss is still the same.

Relief didn't really enter my head tbh.

Aye, quite a tough time for him.  Last thing he needs is us getting on his back.  

 

It's okay to criticise a player, if done in a reasonable manner.  Unfortunately, we have a fair percentage who just can't help but take it to extremes.

Absolutely.

I often wonder (I was merely a lowly amateur level! So have no idea) if any players have ever actually started playing better because fans in the stands were howling at them.

I very much doubt it.

I hear his brother passed away last week too, sadly.

Flaw in your logic is folk paying over 150 quid a month tae listen tae some of the shite they have on cooncil telly.

Souttar doesn't get time to settle in? Some folk are on cloud cuckoo land. 

Maybe we should've binned Hateley and McCoist after their first few games too.

Lots of early bids in for drama queen of the season already.

Is it too early to despair?

Yes.

Canny just lay that at Souttar, Tavs attempted crossfield, Lawrence's challenge...

Let's not make JS an excuse already.

Not always, he wasn't born like that.... 

It'll be the image processing software making it stand out a lot more.

That's interesting, to see Lawrence, Wright and Kent all on together. 

Wee Middleton away to Dungdee utd. Best of luck to him.

Aye, agree re Connor Barron.

Aye, me too, I think he'll grow into the team.

Unlike a fair few on here, I reckon big Souttar will be a great signing too.

In all the excitement, I've lost track of Sands situation, do we have him on loan for the full season ahead? An option to buy too IIRC?.

Cheers.

Side-shed, middle-shed, sheddies. I feel like I've entered another dimension where some kind of damned weegie chav talk has taken over 😆

It's a ned in Glesga, Chav is a Chatham native.

'Davies--Too much for average...he is gonna get turned...pushed...and punked all season long.

"Does he ever win a header?" Bet.

To be frank...we are one Goldson injury away from getting banged right up the center.'

Christ, gisabeer has a hold of malangsobs phone 😆

Side shed is an old one, middle shed was all the rage in my teens due to the Mondays, stone roses etc.

The drivers do different strikes, though, don’t they?

Aye, IIRC Aslef is the drivers union?. I'm far from an expert, and just as far from a fan of strikes, merely pointing out its not as black and white as some would have us believe.

As long as its not pissing, I often walk into central and train it from there tbh. 

I know of an employee of NW trains* who is getting his wages cut by 9k per year, having to reapply for his job, and will be working 39 weekends, up from 32 at the moment.

He's not on great money as it is, too fuckin right I'd be striking.

The media like to portray all the strikers as 50k+ per year drivers, which is far from the truth, there's a hell of a lot of lower paid staff involved. 

* Granted not this area, but fairly relevant.

Noted that the club`s homepage doesn`t list the youth players any longer, its only first team, women and B teams ... and Lovelace ain`t mentioned in the latter.

 

REPORT: RANGERS 3-2 QUEEN'S PARK

 

The report somehow mentions to name the scorer of our first goal. If the pic is that of Lovelace, the guy looks much older than 16 ...

Pretty sure that's Tillman?.

Spot on Bill. That's big tongue Kane's first trophy.

Nerves are kicking in at the mere mention. 

Na, it's the only way to do it, especially in our league, no point rushing forward into a wall. And we did it so well against some bloody good teams in Europe too.

McLaughlin for number 1 here too, Greegs for the cup.
