He hasn't been shy in making clear his allegiances, by all accounts. Any proof of that? just asking. I have heard his family support the dark side??, but this should not even come into it, if he wants to sign for us then he will be an upgrade on what we have, Mo Johnston did ok for us 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand we have to feel some progress is being made, but this is just a sticking plaster approach to our rebuild. We need to build our squad and club back up again and we can't be shelling out funds each year for players overnight the age of 30+. We can't afford to do it and it takes valuable game time away from our younger players. That doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather we have a small number of older role models and really focus on developing our young players. That means we have to be tolerant though, and I doubt that many of our fans are happy to accept that losing games due to individual mistakes is part of our journey back. Yes, I wasn't suggesting we abandon that approach; far from it. I was merely stating that we do need to improve the general quality now. But, we still need to acquire young potential. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'll worry about new players when we see who will be coaching them next season. Knowing Rangers, the new manager will probably be the last to arrive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that is certainly not an agreeable situation, our DoF should mitigate those issues somewhat. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first heard about the Arfield link on the H&H pod before christmas, and at that point Davie Edgar mentioned that he his social media output made it pretty obvious where his allegiances lie. I haven't verified it for myself so perhaps I'm as guilty as those I'm decrying, for continuing such discussions. Like I say, personally it wouldn't bother me as I'll look at each player's contribution on its merits. Standby for any 'errant' tweets or insta posts to be drudged up if the pre-contract rumours intensify or are confirmed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Butt out with your logical nonsense. Can't a fellow have a wallow in misery and self-pity on a Monday morning? I find it sets up perfectly the week ahead 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can do a job then their affiliations mean nothing IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two up at Dundee and another two for Hibs at Ibrox. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
