ONeils40yarder Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 OK...I'll re-word it...I don't think Cadden is good enough at the moment for Scotland, and I'm not sure he ever will be. It seems like a lazy call-up by the fud in charge...Tait is better on the right than Cadden is, and Campbell is better in the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 A cup winners medal and a Scotland cap, leading to a £1m+ move in the summer. Could be a very lucrative summer for all concerned. Lovely stuff Cadds. Congratulations! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm pleased that he got a call-up. My view on Cadden this season is - given he has so far in his career been seen almost as a "winger" and definitely as an attacking player - he has had a really good season as a defender. I've not really seen it commented on but we are maybe guilty of judging his performance as an attacker when he isn't playing as one. Cadden's delivery isn't as good as Tait's currently - but if he works on that, he could be really good in a position where Scotland could be doing with someone... In terms of his development from here - there is probably a lot more chance of him having a good career at a higher level as a modern wing back than as an attacking midfielder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cadden has done really well to build his game around his strengths. He's perhaps limited as a footballer, but he does have as much stamina and strength as anyone in the league and he's exploiting that. Good luck to him. I hope he gets a decent crack at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 1 hour ago, MJC said: According to Police Scotland's travel advice they are telling our coaches to take the 'M73/M77/Dumbreck corridor' route to Hampden on Saturday. Surely to God they aren't actually expecting our coaches to basically go through the city centre then Kingston Bridge instead of just staying on the M74 to the merge with M8 are they? It's bad enough that we need to pass the Polmadie cut off if we stay on the M74 but to send us onto the M73 is madness! Still, as long as Celtic get their end of Hampden in defiance of any logistical sense. Hope there are some cast iron bladders ready for that bus trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buses from Fir Park leave at 1pm and Club 100 buses leave at half one so it'll be cutting it fine getting into Hampden going that route on a Saturday afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I see Michael Higdon has been doing some press - he looks in the same shape as he was when he played for us and he certainly won't have lost any pace - get him out of retirement and signed up! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Would genuinely take Higdon as an option off the bench for Saturday. Mainly because he fucking hated Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Imagine if it's easy? We rock up, slot two past them comfortably in the first 10 minutes. I think I'd die. Edited May 17, 2018 by YassinMoutaouakil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Remember being two up against them last season? I'd still be a nervous wreck for the rest of the game- I was only confident for the last 5 minutes of the semi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know how I'll handle it if we are ahead or even level going into the latter stages. I keep getting these nagging doubts of a 'reverse Skippy Sunday' scenario if we were leading late on. Can we not just win it 1-0 or 2-1 with the winner coming in the last minute of injury time please? You know the type where it comes so late that the referee blows for full time as soon as Celtic re-start the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
