forlanssister 3,114 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 If a game of FIFA and a takeaway with your mates and their birds in the full knowledge of what's expected means more to you than winning 55 and/or the Europa League then on your own head be it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post elfideldo 411 Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2021 Having watched three of the five since they were 12 years old I found it particularly disappointing. I don't think Dapo has ever been in the first team bubble, so the other four shouldn't even have been in contact with him. Rightly or wrongly Nathan and Calvin will still be looked on as assets, whether that means a way back or they will be moved on we will have to wait and see. I would imagine it has ruled out any chance of Bongani's loan move being made permanent. Dapo's contract is up in the summer, his loan move to QOTS was a chance to impress, be that Rangers or in the shop window for another club, it would appear that chance has gone. I believe Brian was offered/signed a new contract recently, could be withdrawn it hasn't been signed. Nathan's parents were a presence at virtually all his games over the years, I would like to have been a fly on the wall to witness their reaction to events, especially watching Thursday's game. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieatbats 49 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The biggest issue I have with these players is that this is a crucial time for our success, we have waited years for this title and for anyone within the club to riskk this then they just don't know what it means to us the fans, there can be no way back for them, a harsh lesson to learn but to me this title means everything this year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At all other times, even at training and in dressing room, they have to comply with the same workplace distancing that the rest of us do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. This is my thoughts also. You can debate about the virus but you cant go against employer rules (Rules and lawfulness is very different but respect comes into play) - especially in a privelged position footballers are in. I liked Jordon Jones as a player - he absolutely ruined himself but you cant have one rule for him and another rule for others. At this stage in the season - to risk what the team has done all season is not acceptable. I dont buy this home grown loss argument - we will find other full backs. But Bassey and Patterson need to take good long hard looks at themselves. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,541 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Jordan Jones is an idiot, always has been, we took a punt on him and it predictably didn't work out, we owe him nothing (that's not to say we owe these other boys anything). From folk at Killie that know him, first thing he did when signing with us was selling his car, as he couldn't trust himself to head back down to NE England to go on the razz with his pals after games. It would be foolish in the extreme to punt these boys, by holding our self to some higher moral standard than any other club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,035 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Simple answer if an employee messes up he has to go the same rule would apply to the whole workforce at Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter and Gazza wouldn't have lasted a week at Ibrox if we operated on that basis. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
