Fully what I expected, but the above advertised article wasn't an analysis of all the games on Sportscene, and is just a PR puff piece all about how Rangers deserved to beat Hibs and will still win the league.
Must be crap realising your not as good as the media has told you, and finding yourself in semi retirement at only 28.
Having seen what he has said about RFC in the past, do we ever expect him to be objective?

You're right, that was a bit harsh - and I'm sure that he understands a lot of what is being said even if he does not interview perfectly. His English is certainly better than my Spanish etc.
I hope he gets a run of games - I love watching him run at defenders.
I noticed that yesterday - he is basically celebrating before he lands back down on the ground.
No worries.
Same here, although he struggled at first you could see he had a natural ability to take the ball and drift past players. As a player I do like him and think he deserves more game time. Definitely more suited, in Scottish game, to midfield than left back.
He seems to love football. Noticed that in Ross County game at the second goal celebrating like mad. Done it a few times.last season too. Seems to celebrate the teams goals, like he scored them himself!
As an aside, I thought he had a decent game also against County. Got himself into similar positions as yesterday and it was his blocked shot that led to Pawlett's goal.
***Just realised the celebration comment was about Shankland***

I reluctantly agree. By my calculations, he has only played under 100 league games since he left us 5 years ago.
Also, we do not have a good record with players coming back at the end of their career (has there ever been a successful one?). Off the top of my head, I think that the reputations of Craig Brewster, Morgaro Gomis, Willo Flood, David Goodwillie and the aforementioned Mark Wilson have been slightly dampened by their second spells... let's just keep Ciftci as the enigmatic, mythical creature that scored that goal at Ibrox!
Well we had to make room for £6,000 a week Derek McInnes...
He scored twice yesterday - I would imagine that if he does indeed enter "free agency" in November there might be quite a few suitors in the MLS...
Sporle looked excellent yesterday, I thought - playing with real confidence and his goal was really well taken. My only concern is that he was interviewed for DUTV after the game and still seems to speak almost no English - surely this is going to hold him back?
Agree that Chalmers was solid yesterday and, to be fair to him, around that 60th minute he almost lost a foot to Tait's tackle/assault (I look forward to Sportsound dissecting it for the next week or so like they did with Edwards last week...). I liked his corner for the first goal, too - it seemed to catch the defence unaware as it was not your average in-swinger.
I just watched back the highlights and it doesn't look any better today - there is barely even a challenge from the striker. Surely worth trying Butcher in there with Powers or Glass coming into the midfield?
To be fair he spoke absolutely no English at all when he joined. He seems.to have a decent grasp of it, not fluent but OK. Like most things, some people will never get much more than that. For someone that's spoken none of it at all for 23 years to that after 1 is OK.
For balance I saw Bielsa give an interview on MOTD yesterday with a translator, it's not holding him back

Sporle MoTM for me. Great to have him in the side.
Special mention to Siegriest. Matured into a solid dependable keeper. I, and many others, had my doubts about 12 months ago, but surely he's proved us all wrong.
One other thing, what is it with our centre half's? Can be pretty reasonable in a game for long periods, but all seem prone to a catastrophic error in almost every game.
Very frustrating. Up untill that point I thought Reynolds was having a good game too.

We've got to hold on to what we've got, it doesn't make a difference if it's scrappy or not. If we take 3 points then that's enough for 6th.
Let's give it a shot.
You give puns a bad name!!

The shit stirring & flame.stoking conduct of the press in the last week really is incredible. Let's face it that is all it is.
Very little facts, inaccurate, fantasy and that's the good points. It's the old adage, "repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”.

It’s an excuse to allow Jambos to keep posting on here.
BTW thanks for taking Neilson off our hands; I, for one, will be forever grateful.
And don't forget with the added bonus of also being given vast amounts of cash for him too! A lot more, I believe, then we paid to get what looks like a more than able successor.

And English came back by saying it wasn't him that was making it all about Hearts, but Broadfoot.
English used the same line a week or two ago as well, after spending the previous minutes of the show going on about Hearts. He really doesn't do irony does he?

He tweeted this:
Before claiming it was a big funny joke:
I wondered what he had said, he blocked me.some months ago after I called him out about not understanding the attachment people have to local clubs, we wish to see them do well but seeing them win trophies is not why we follow and support them.
Man's a clown.

I thought Sporle was excellent yesterday - seems to have the confidence to run at anyone and, unlike other full/wing backs, is happy to cut inside as well as go on the outside. Considering he barely kicked a ball all of last season, he has got up to speed this term very quickly.
Lining up without Robson and Smith at full back should have made us very vulnerable - but we handled County extremely well, and Sporle was a big part of that.
Yes. Well, joint-top with Luke Bolton at least.
In my eyes he was one of our best players against St Johnstone, dominated up against Turnbull and Campbell against Motherwell, and yesterday was as good as anyone (perhaps with the exception of Luke Bolton). He seems a lot more aggressive/energetic than last season and is the only midfielder that consistently goes beyond the strikers (whilst Harkes has also started brightly, he shoots from 30+ yards or passes the ball off - and very rarely has got himself beyond Appere) and is unlucky to only have one goal so far. In my likely unpopular opinion, at this present moment he is highlighting a lot of Butcher's weaknesses, i.e. an inability to get on the ball and play positive passes when games are relatively calm (Butcher played well when forced to scrap it out with Gogic against Hibs, but the other games have largely bypassed him) - Mellon was quite right to bring him off yesterday.
As I said on this thread before, last season Pawlett showed some glimpses of absolute quality (in 6-2 and 6-0 home wins, admittedly) but was far too inconsistent and looked really lethargic/tired at times. This season is only 4 games old, granted, but thus far looks a completely different player - fully fit and probably benefiting more than anyone else from an absence of groans from the George Fox...
Isn't it amazing what happens when players are actually allowed to get over injuries rather than having to take injections before every game, being rushed back early from injury etc.

Fantastic 3pts! Defintely improved from 25 minutes or so. Should have been 2, cracking shot from Powers. Very happy with that, 4 pts from first two games.
Robson, Harkes played well. Appere did very well in a thankless task with not too much support, although he wasn't as isolated in the 2nd half. Defensively we didn't look too bad today. Bolton showed promise, an assist, a chance he should have scored and a couple of decent runs.

It’s the single most obvious problem with our team. Connolly and Reynolds are horrendous on the ball. Inaccurate punts or pass backs is all they have.
Thankfully as the half wore on a few other players managed to get on the ball and eke out some chances.
Chalmers has looked pretty good for a kid who hasn’t had much game time for us and has turned 20.
Robson probably our best player again, so far.
Forgot about Robson. A few dodgy moments going forward, but defensively seems to have been fairly solid, a few good tackles.

First half over. Thoughts so far, Harkes again seems to be standing out, seems to be everywhere. Bolton looks promising, had a couple of decent runs and that good chance that really should have put away. Appere is running about and harrying but is really isolated. Needs help, Harkes seems to be trying but others need to help.
One thing I've noticed again, other than the punts, is the number of "difficult" balls being played rather than then far, far easier passes that are on.
Has the pitch been heavily watered? Seen a number of passes skipping on to far & later on players looking like they have been under hitting balls to avoid this.
We seem to improve as the game went on. Hopefully keeps going in the second half. Certainly wouldn't be disappointed with an away point here

Can get sound on the away video but can't cast it to my TV. No sound on the home streams but can cast them no bother.
I don't care about commentary but just player/background noise would be nice.
I'm the opposite, absolutely no sound on the away streams. Not too fussed about commentary, but pitched side sound would be nice.

FFS! how long are we going to continue giving the ball to a centre half to punt it up the park and see it instantly returned via an attack by the opposition!. Its almost every time! Got fed up with this last season.

You changed your mind after private discussions about reconstruction no-one else was involved in. Meaning you effectively voted on something different from everyone else. We don't know what those private discussions involved.
We don't need to. Nothing wrong was carried out by having discussions. Please read Companies Act (Scotland). Please look into how shareholder etc votes are carried out. The type of thing any member of a club board that has any experience in the corporate world know. Or vote taken, 28 days to give vote. Vote "yes" can't be changed. Vote "no" discussions are allowed to see if any objections can be overcome.

Like Shankland coming up against proper defenders every week for the first time in his career. "You mean I won't score 30?"
Good to know you admit your team was so shite last season you didn't have any proper defenders.
He did after all score against Hearts in League Cup & Hibs in the Scottish Cup last season.

When it was first rumoured to be purple I was definitely in the "no, no and thrice no" camp. Having seen it, although it still has that shit neck, I like it. It's a football strip, it's not something to wear as normal clothes. As a strip I think it's good, might even fork out for it.
Now if had been a purple '94 style strip...
