well fan for life Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 8 minutes ago, Gianfranco said: I’ve never seen an overreaction like it that night. They seemed to come running over from behind the other goals for about 5 minutes solid. The next day I went into work and a guy asked me if I was alright because Sportsound were apparently reporting it as if it was a full on riot. The whole thing happened about 10 yards in front of me and I've seen bigger stooshies in the middle aisle in Lidl. A mental overreaction from polis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a bit fed up that we've drawn Morton yet again. Don't worry, the feelings mutual! Least it's at Cappielow and we will fancy our chances of an upset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone actually track these things to see how it compares to other pairs? I have a vague feeling Celtic-St Mirren comes up more than average. Also, if they hadn't scrapped replays from the corona time we'd have another two cup replays at Cappielow for the list. I assume we'll be narrow favourites but tbqhwy it's not far off 50-50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed they don’t make it a TV game and a shite kick off time. Avoided the TV games, it's Hearts and Hibs on BBC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloontang Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 3 hours ago, Stevie Kirk said: Perhaps wishful thinking on my part but as Obika wasn’t announced as injured this week has he perhaps been told to find another club? One of the media guys had mentioned pre match that both Shaw and Obika were missing due to hamstring injuries. It would be nice to see them before go to pastures new but I think we will be stuck with them until the end of the campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I clocked the same tweet but equally if Shaw is still injured then we could legitimately cancel the loan (as we did with Aarons and Moult last season) citing the injury as the reason rather than just wanting shot of him because he's mince. Which seems to be the rumour doing the rounds of what's happening. Obika being out with a hamstring issue...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) 1 hour ago, SteelyDosser said: Avoided the TV games, it's Hearts and Hibs on BBC Has this been confirmed ? More than likely and hope it is the case. But because of midweek fixtures before that weekend only ourselves, Rangers and Aberdeen can apparently play on the Friday night. And since Viaplay will choose Rangers and BBC chose Aberdeen in the last round on the Friday…… Edit to add - we play Ross C at home on Tuesday 6th Feb. Aberdeen play Rangers same night. All other teams are down to play on the Wed night. Hope that means there is no Friday night game. 3 days recovery would not be great Edited January 21 by welldaft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a good night to be robbing houses in Greenock as every police officer in Renfrewshire appeared on the scene. 1 hour ago, Archie McSquackle said: Chic Young was making it out to be WW3. They were bringing in police reinforcements from Paisley for someone tripping over a bench. As far as I remember, Rangers were playing St. Johnstone in a televised game with an earlier kick off that night and by coincidence some cops were on their way back to Greenock having worked at Ibrox and were told to get to Cappielow after the trouble kicked off. By the time it kicked off we were in extra time so I dare say that could’ve been an explanation for why there were so many. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't remember for sure whether they came from St Mirren or Rangers but Rangers seemed even more of an over-reaction! Your explanation makes sense though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your explanation makes sense though. The Rangers game had finished though. I dare say I could find it somewhere, but I think they kicked off half an hour before our game. Given that our game went into extra time, it probably all kicked off about an hour after full time at Ibrox, so it wasn’t a case of them being re-located from Ibrox, they were just in the area at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) A wee bit of digging on Callan Elliot and apparently he was Wellington Phoenix's u23 POTY (I'm guessing the equivalent of YPOTY). I'm not sure how much stock you'd put in this write up from 'Front Page Football'. It reads like a bit of a puff piece as going by this it makes him sound like the second coming of Roberto Carlos but it's maybe quite useful as a broad overview: Quote "He shows all the traits required to be a modern-day full-back. Initially serving as a midfielder for Tasman United and in his early Nix career, it is apparent that his good dribbling and superb creativity with the ball have been maintained since being deployed as a defender. "His contribution to a successful Wellington Phoenix cannot be understated. His defensive presence has been immense, being a disruptor at full-back, snuffing out opponents as they attack in transition. Elliot has also shown near-flawless timing in his tackles for a player who hasn't played a defensive role for long, with a last-ditch effort recently against the Mariners coming to mind. He is averaging 0.5 interceptions per game and 2.5 completed tackles. However, Elliot's physicality could be seen as a weakness, as he has only won 52% of his duels. His attacking contributions almost outweigh his defensive shortcomings, however minor they may be."

However we could end up with a Riku Danzaki or Mark Birighitti type clown show.

It is, but you can't tell whether he's going up against guys like Aldred who are a good level to test against for us, or a guy that picked up SOCCAH three weeks ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
