Gauld scored a couple of goals in their win last night. I don't see any chance of him getting a Scotland call up, so it probably is worth his while looking into the residency rules for switching international allegiance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 That was some excellent VAR-ing. "Good news - your straight red card has been downgraded to a yellow. Bad news - it's your second, have a different red" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't actually have all that much past them either given Fraser and Forrest aren't really options anymore. Scratch that.

ArabFC Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Just keeping this updated for laughs. Two goals and an assist at the weekend make it 10 goals and 6 assists in his last 11 games. Some might say he was showing some form 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Lionel Messi has shown that league up as having even worse defending than I expected - every single one of those videos of him makes it look like he's playing against a bunch of guys dragged off the street who have never met before. I suppose that's what happens when you have a salary cap and designated player system that incentivises bringing in big ticket attacking players and then having to scrape together the remaining pennies on centre-backs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one I saw where he sauntered all the way from the halfway line to the 6 yard box for a tap-in without anyone being within 5 yards of him. Lower league standard stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we gonna pretend that Messi wouldn’t be humiliating defenders in the SPFL just as badly, or worse? Just the one assist for Gauld last night - slacking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immcinto Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Best metric for Gauld would be to compare him to Almeda. He is widely considered to be world class. Gauld's Minutes per Goals/Assists/Shots on Target in the last 16 games are outstripping Almeda's average over the last two years. Gauld = 130/143/71 Almeda = 300/180/73 Almeda record is over 53 games though, Gauld only 16. How many games before a streak becomes permanent class?

More than 16 and ideally the same number of games to Almeida. If you're comparing two players' minutes per goals/assists/shots on target (and they're only attacking metrics) you need to use the same numbers to get a fairer comparison. There also needs to be other comparitive stats. 130 minutes per goal sounds good, but what if a lot of those were penalties or he scored a lot of goals against depleted and vastly inferior competition? That's the thing with "minutes per" statistics is that it implies consistency when in fact there may have just been bouts of intensity. I'd like to hear more from Clarke and the player to find out why we're never bringing him in. It honestly could be that he doesn't rate the league or the player and he's just being diplomatic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'd like to see Gauld get a shot. Let's be honest, nobody here watches MLS with any regularity, but Gauld is clearly enjoying his football again. He was the most exciting teenage prospect in the last 30 years probably in Scottish football, I think it would be a shame for his career to wane out without seeing whether he could offer us something at international level. Looks like the France friendly won't fit in nicely with the MLS Season though. Are there many European players at other nations that are getting regular call ups? Not many from the list here jumping out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_MLS_players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 If anything Gauld is further away from a call up now than he was a week ago with Anderson committing to Scotland. Gauld has said previously he's not that arsed about it, if he gets the call he'll take it but he's not changing anything just to get a call up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
