Billy Jean King Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 17 hours ago, Torfason said: My point wasn’t that I was claiming he was withholding labour, it was that football clubs should be run like every other professional business. If he is available and prepared to play, he is better on the bench, if he is not then fire him. I don’t understand why a business would have a highly paid employee and not have them contribute, football is simply weird, where the business cuts off its nose to spite it’s face or where employees are given so much control. At the moment all we know is he isn't being picked for match day squads. We don't know the facts so suggesting he is withholding labour is pure speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the unlikely event that he committed himself to the club, then he'd surely be picked as one of the two match day 'keepers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, Captain_Sensible said: Did no-one point out to Michael Stewart that Strain and Baccus are foreigners? Stewart’s point was that the big Scottish clubs haven’t swooped for obvious talent within the division they play in when its right under their nose, nationality didn’t come into it. He asked why they automatically seem to look to the foreign market. For example, Celtic and The Rangers bring in South Koreans and so on. He couldn’t understand why a bigger club (The uglies, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs) don’t seem to be in for Strain or O’Hara. Chick jumped in with ‘stop trying to sell St Mirren’s best players, eh?’. Stewart replied ‘surely it’s a compliment though Chick’. I wish Chick would then have said something that I was thinking - ‘aye, it’s a compliment if you’re suggesting a biggish English club should sign them for a million plus, not you saying they should fcuk off to a direct rival for thruppence ha’penny and a half chewed packet of Hubba Bubba’. Sadly though, Chick didn’t. Edited July 31, 2023 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Strange times IMO. There have been no recent rumours in the press, or any other media sources, about English Championship teams who are ready to "swoop" or "pounce" for Ryan Strain. Or Keanu Baccus. Or Mark O'Hara. WTF ? These guys would cruise it at English Championship level. And they would probably be available at a price they could easily afford. Genuinely, I am bamboozled by the apparent lack of interest in these guys. Not disappointed, just bamboozled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O’Hara has already had a shot at League One level in England with Peterborough and they let him go to Motherwell for a nominal fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kempes Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Cup game v Well has been confirmed as Saturday 19th, 3pm kick off. Happy with that. No surprise that the OF have both been ‘selected’ for tv; Hibs and Hearts are both playing on Sunday, with 2pm starts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 9 hours ago, djchapsticks said: The prize money will cone directly from the SFA who will then have to deal with Viaplay paying up. I'd say clubs are at no risk of not being paid up by SFA for a national cup competition. Not trying to pick holes. But given this is the League Cup would it not be under the financial control of the SPFL rather than the SFA? The SPFL is still under the leadership of that cnut Doncaster? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW saint Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 It shows how difficult it is for us to make inroads in making top 5 when hibs can sign a player for £700,000. Robbo is worth his weight in gold when you see the job he has done with limited budget 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
