BillyAnchor Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Just now, BillyAnchor said: We were cheated in the LC semi too. The refereeing at Parkhead that second leg was the worst I ever saw which is a real achievement. Or did that come later? Now I think of it I remember us losing to Celtic at Hampden in a LC semi that probably was during Auld's tenure. The 2 leg one might have been someone else. The Hampden midweek was scary in the Rangers end, TGFITW pulling blades on us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost 1-0. I remember that big Edvaldsson scored for Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) McCall in the papers saying he is hoping to have 11 players under contract for next season by next couple of weeks. I think we've got 9* at the moment so most likely Sneddon and Akinola although Rudden would obviously be good. *Holt Brownlie Sena Docherty Bannigan Smith Tiffoney Turner Graham He might be counting James Lyon in this, not sure.

jaggyness Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I would have thought he would be thinking of bringing a right back in given Foster there would be questions over him continuing for another year with his ever growing media commitments and advancing years, plus mckenna being out of contract. Would go against the times article saying he wasn't looking for defensive reinforcements though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I read it as not signing any defenders in January (assuming we don't suffer loads of injuries between now and then) rather than for next year. Of the players out of contract, I can only really think of the 3 mentioned that I'd be keen to keep, especially if the goal is promotion. Everyone else can wait til the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Am I right in thinking that Hendrie's contract is up in January also? Presumably it won't be renewed given how little match time he's had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just returned to light training. Could definitely see him leaving in January though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Before the other day, it wouldn’t have surprised me at all to see Bell leave in January but McCall’s claim that he doesn’t prioritise defensive reinforcements because Bell is getting back from injury and can cover would make me assume he is staying put till the end of the season. He was exceptional in League 1 last season, so I’d suggest he could still do a job there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 McCall says a lot of things in the press, wouldn't be surprised if neither Hendrie or Bell are at Firhill come January 31st, though I think Bell might have a better chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I think we’ll keep Bell around till the end of the season, purely on the basis that McCall obviously trusts him. He’ll probably go back to part time somewhere. I think Hendrie will be away and, based on the challenge cup game he played, that won’t be much of a loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan57 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I didn’t see the challenge cup game(QOS?), so can’t comment on his performance,but definitely wouldn’t bin a player based on one game. Since then we have conceded one goal and barely any need to change the defence. And if we were binning players based on their early performances Rudden would just be a player consigned to the mists of history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall and his coaching staff see him every day in training and have decided that, at this stage, playing a right back at left back is a better option. Would be surprised if he's still at the club come end of January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the decision became McKenna vs Hendrie. Doesn’t mean he is surplus to requirements. I guess time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as simplistic as saying we shouldnt patch Hendrie because "he's only played one game". Its true, but he isnt playing for a reason. The coaching staff see him every day in training. And if hes not better than what we have we should be looking to cut our losses and bring in someone better.
