Rangers v Hibernian
GroundHoppingBear replied to Lyle Lanley's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
His passing is so good any time we closed Hibs down they panicked. Edit, 10th best passing % in Hibs squad last night. -
Rangers v Hibernian
GroundHoppingBear replied to Lyle Lanley's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
It's not the odd moment though, it's nearly every single time he plays against us. You can't seriously be happy with the defending for that second goal can you? -
Rangers v Hibernian
GroundHoppingBear replied to Lyle Lanley's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Every match against us he is at fault for something so it wasn't just tonight. Even in the 3-1 game at Hampden our goal came from a terrible error from him. The goal in the 1-0 victory last season at Easter Road he is well out of position, then the sendings off against us. It wasn't just coming up against Morelos last night that showed him up. Edit, he also gave away the penalty at Easter Road this season. Great defender. -

How can Hibs fans keep defending Porteous? He's absolutely garbage. -
Rangers v Hibernian
GroundHoppingBear replied to Lyle Lanley's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I sit in GF and there was a bit in the second half he looked like he had been caught out then out of nowhere just lifted his pace and was absolutely rapid to recover. He’s not the finished article by any means but a good addition to the squad and certainly one player that can be worked on. Arfield was a strange one. If he scores that chance early on to make it two then I think he’d have strolled it but he missed that, then put a header over and it was like his confidence went down as he never made it in to these positions again. Barisic so frustrating. Thought going forward he looked better but defensively so poor. -
Rangers v Hibernian

I think Ramsey’s signing was a decent deal. We pay £2m top line, then at least we will know where we stand at the end of the season as far as CL qualification goes. If we buy a new player say £2m, plus wages for three years, then we don’t have that luxury. -

Morelos is one of the best passers in the league. One part of his game he doesn’t get much credit for. Fantastic performance from him. He was my MOTM, Lundstram deffo up there. Thought Bassey had a very solid game. -

Hearts should have had two penalties yet here you are talking about decisions already. -
Queen's Park 1 Dumbarton 1
GroundHoppingBear replied to Velvet Donkey's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
When you see his size you would just expect Oyinsan to be a big target man but that old cliche "good feet for a big man" applied. QP struggled to get it off him when he had it under control. I thought Fox really struggled with him but Kilday was very effective. Thomson is a strange player for Queens. Came through Rangers with a good reputation but only made a couple of squads. There were times he played very quick smart passes, made one twos and looked like he could dominate. Yet other times he was pushed off the ball far too easily or caught in possession. You can definitely see why there were big hopes on him as a youngster though. Tried a few passes that I don't think anyone else on the park would have attempted. -
Queen's Park 1 Dumbarton 1
GroundHoppingBear replied to Velvet Donkey's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
I thought the last ten or so was much better too. When the Dumbarton player missed the backheel I thought at that point they were in the ascendency, then Queens made a couple of changes and it sparked them in to life again. They were getting to the by line, creating decent openings and if it wasn't for a couple of good blocks then they would have scored a third. I also thought for a relatively young goalkeeper that Calum Ferrie looked quite commanding. He didn't have much to do really but he made one really good save in the first half. But I thought he was organised, never looked out of position, moved the ball out quickly. Would like to see him again in a match where he has more to do. Shout out to the boy that got papped out early on for drinking a bottle of tonic And the boys watching the rest of the game from the grassy hill -
Queen's Park 1 Dumbarton 1
GroundHoppingBear replied to Velvet Donkey's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Deserved win in the end I'd say but a strange performance from Queens. Thought that they went through spells where they took the foot right off the gas and let Dumbarton back in. When they played with more tempo Dumbarton really struggled. Thought Connor Smith was very good. Oyinsan is a handful for Dumbarton but they couldn't really get others close to him. -
PG & Dak's Real Fitbaw Podcast
GroundHoppingBear replied to PG & Dak's topic in West of Scotland Football League
Enjoying the round up uploaded yesterday. Only seen Clydebank once this season, have some good players but think the Annan result was crushing the way it happened. Hopefully pick themselves back up. Hamish McKinlay has lots of potential from what I seen. Great movement. -
WoSFL Premier Division thread
GroundHoppingBear replied to glensmad's topic in West of Scotland Football League
Cheers, seems strange to reconstruct already considering the league hasn't been around for long. Only been to two WOSL games this season so fell away from it. -
WoSFL Premier Division thread
GroundHoppingBear replied to glensmad's topic in West of Scotland Football League
Is there going to be further reconstruction within the leagues for next season or is there another bizarre reason for 6 clubs being relegated? -
Is there any way to view lists of top scorers in each division? Can't find it anywhere but thought it would be listed somewhere, at least for the top divison. There is a section for it on the WOSL website but it's blank. Cheers.

Livingston - all the threads merged
GroundHoppingBear replied to TheDoctor's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
That was a ridiculously touchy response from Bartley. I like him on TV/Radio but I think he needs to relax on Twitter. Tried to have a go at me for something I posted that was totally inoffensive. -
Queen's Park 1 Dumbarton 1
GroundHoppingBear replied to Velvet Donkey's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Typically bought a ticket for this then read about the issues with the pitch. Fingers crossed it's on. -
I was at the game on Saturday and I've not seen a performance like that at that level before. A joy to watch.

Yeah we dropped points it happens. -
St Mirren v Aberdeen - 25/1/22
GroundHoppingBear replied to Frank Grimes's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Started slowly at Ibrox, played poor last week. Still couldn't beat us. March 2019 the last time Aberdeen beat us, we are hardly cowering in fear. -
The pyramid system at the moment makes it so hard to judge where teams and players are in their development. As you say in a few years it will correct itself and I think the landscape of Scottish football will be completely different. Exciting times for a lot of clubs at that level.

Rangers vs. Dundee

He's like the Penguin in Batman. Just as well our tunnel is a fair size or he'd need a crane.
