Rugster Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I buy the stream dependant on whether or not I am able to watch it dependant on child care and have not bought a season because I live about 150 miles away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mevilc Bairn Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Me and the wife would previously go work permitting. Streaming at present. Wife not long had surgery and she hasn't worked since end of April so finances have taken a hit. £13 for both of us to watch makes sense for now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pondering this earlier today. I think we're safe for this season. As a fulltime club we're pretty much expected to win League One regardless of the f*ckups we've made over the last two seasons. And even then the first one would probably have seen us promoted had covid not intervened. So nobody's going take any notice of our players and staff doing well in League One. If we get promoted and start well next season that will change though. And I don't think any enhancements can prevent it. You could have doubled Jobbie's salary when he took us to the top of the League in 2003 and it wouldn't have prevented him going to Dundee Utd. Ditto Jefferies / Hearts and Totten / Rangers. As for Nesbitt, I watched him play for Scotland youths in a tournament seven years ago and emerge as our best player. By an absolute mile. The boy was - and evidently still is, despite the opinion of Morton fans - a class act. If he maintains the performance level that he's put in so far there'll be nothing we can do to hold onto him once his deal expires. At least if he wants to play at a higher level. Having said all that, I still can't quite believe that Morrison signed an extension. I'm sure as hell not complaining though. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t mean he will be with us any longer IMO. When the cash is right we will take it and I am sure part of the deal is us being fair on the lad of a sensible offer lands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be too much to ask that when you to refer to our recent loan signing from Huddersfield you desist from using the term The Big Albanian? The guy is a class act and he is going to help our cause greatly while he is here, I think the least that we can do is show him some respect and use his given name, i.e. Ernaldo Krasniqi, OK? If my memory serves me correctly we didn’t call Kasper Schmeichel the Great Dane or Tim Krul The Big Dutch Goalie. I Thank You. Not 100% sure where I heard (might have been Sheerin pre-Clyde on Falkirk TV) but Krasniqi was named as just EK when referring to him. Take it that is what he is called in the dressing room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, this current brand of football must be attractive to all the former malcontents, and, as such the club is now deserving of support. I think they should invite kids from all the local schools to attend a forthcoming game just to show how good football can be. I’m sure we’ve done this before and now would be a great time to do it again. We need to be publicising the club and the new colt teams and getting the old spirit back. Won't put a penny in until there are tangible moves towards fan involvement in running of the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never announced anywhere but Tony Gallacher did something similar before he signed for Liverpool, as I'm sure you're aware. He signed an extension in June and was sold in January. Something like that with Nesbitt would be ideal, but as always the ball is in the players court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Eck? Ernie? Given the absolute class way young Ernaldo has commanded his time in the midfield, I'm thinking more Ernie Els = "The Big Easy". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I'd have thought Alloa at home would've been a more apt game for the Totten tribute since he managed both clubs and more likely to have a few more through from alloa for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
