BPM Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 8 hours ago, Shodwall cat said: I thought he looked ok but nothing overly special against us in league one but a two year deal in the top flight is crazy stuff. I tell you what is more crazy a three deal for Paul Hanlon. I remember a washed up Lee Miller rag dolling him 8/9 years ago when Hanlon should have been in his prime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you think we're, while signing an entire squad, making our best signings in mid-June. He's cheap back up who can play either wing and might end up useful. Having zero depth last season killed us at it forced us into a certain tactic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitting hairs here but a previous BOD were ready to sell. I'd hope once bitten, twice shy would apply now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Ian Murray in the press talking about other clubs in the league spending big when they've just re-signed Easton & Byrne, added Fordyce, Hanlon & Stevenson and paid money for Lewis Gibson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Me Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) Stunning admission in this article (my emphasis): Quote “Uefa and its independent pitch consultants have been working closely with the grounds team in Frankfurt in the the build-up of the tournament to guarantee optimal playing conditions and have seen the overall pitch rating improve consistently over the course of the previous season." ... and yet it cut-up - badly The grass proponents are going to be apoplectic when the pristine surfaces of their hallucinations don't materialise and TV pundits are discussing conditions as we saw in Frankfurt at Perth, Kirkcaldy or Airdrie!

Popular Post Shodwall cat Posted June 21 Popular Post Share Posted June 21 Makes my piss boil to see the spfl about to bend over backwards to help out sevco and their stadium problems with sharing with queens park at Hampden now being mooted as a distinct possibility having originally been thought to be impossible. Funny how when we wanted to ground share with a lower league side we were knocked back due to not having the control of the fixtures. Another classic example of how bigger clubs get a completely different rub of the green from others. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che Adams was playing on the right wing in the second half v Switzerland with McTominay central but deep. It was effectively 5-5-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different times, different folk in charge and learning from previous "mistakes" but yeah that definitely sticks in the craw. If they want to groundshare fine, they can use Celtic Park as there won't need to be anything done regarding the fixtures. I dont understand why they need to be groundsharing anyway, just close the areas where the work is being done is surely the obvious answer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
