Blootoon87 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I take comfort in the fact that VikinTON's predictions usually turn out completely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little belief never hurts anyone. Why can't this be the time we actually throw some results together. I've seen a shite NI team on paper go years without a win then same players with a little bit of belief go on to great things. You just never know what's around the corner. Whilst I don't think that we'll win all of the last games as we need to, and I can understand why others might not think we'll do it, I do like your post. There is nothing wrong with having a bit of faith and some hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win away at Lithuania it's not incredibly deluded to think we win our next to home games where we are strong, Slovenia could be out the running come the last game. But we have also lost or drawn to worse teams at Hampden. I'm not going to jump to either end of the spectrum. Talk of "the facts" about how we're going to do in games that haven't even happened yet is pretty ridiculous, but it is going to be an incredibly long shot that could still end in us missing out anyway.

Cairney will get a move to the EPL. McBurnie gets more starts for Swansea. Nicholson, Walker and Souttar (All three with Hearts) continue their improvement. Anybody else care to contribute? Has Sam Nicholson not moved to a club in Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was rubber-stamped yet, or at least, I hope it isn't. I wish more of our players would move abroad (Not the USA/Canada). He reminds me of Alan Johnstone, and he should take the same move as Johnstone did and move to France. OK. After a quick peruse, it seems like Nicholson is still with Hearts. He did fly out to have talks with MLS newcomers Minnesota United, but he hasn't signed anything. Aberdeen, Barnsley, Bristol City and Minnesota United are all interested in him, but apparently Rangers have also made an offer. If I were to guess, I'd say that he'll go to Rangers.

Probably stems from previous heartache. Or in viking ton's case, ongoing bellendery. I too think we'll scrape out a good pair of September results then choke in the October fixtures. Still, I'm not throwing in the towel - this type of if-but-maybe run in to a qualifying group is now our regular equivalent to actually being at a tournament.

Yes I, m trying to blank out our feck ups Hampden lol. Let's hope this is the year we can all be happy to at least make the play offs. The team is starting to develop in my opinion and I still don't think our strongest team has started in the group. Everything crossed 2017 is our year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you cross the threshold of a Library without bursting into flames? Also, my post that you allegedly addressed, you didn't actually "reply" to it, or "respond" to it. You didn't even have to quote it. You could've just said, "SlayerX, there's something not right about you", or, "You know, there's something really off about you, SlayerX", or even "You know, SlayerX, I've pondered this for a while, I've been wrestling with my emotions for so long now, and now I must say it... SlayerX... I... don't think you're right in the head", In a fresh non-quoted fashion. And I meant what I said about taking it as a compliment, by the way. So, once again, thank you.
