Usual bollocks rumours, the guys been having niggles for the past two years though. He's also been out for a month with a knee injury now and only resumed training last Friday. Ignoring the rumours I think hes a guy that just struggles to reach that level of fitness our squad has now and is picking up injuries trying to reach that level . Fitness wise were miles ahead of most in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 An excellent article about The Green Brigade in The Times by Graham Spiers, which I do not have the technical ability to recreate on here. Pretty much sums them up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not, but I think I signed up a couple of months ago, and there was no cost involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to check your bank account. Their offer was a 30 day free trial which automatically kicked in at a fiver a month if you didn't cancel within those initial 30 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your concern, but they have no access to my account. I can’t remember what I did, but definitely no money or bank details passed between me and The Times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can vaguely remember reading a few years ago that he wasnt too bothered about a coaching career after retiring. Hes also meant to be laid back as anything going by some autobiograhies I have read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear he's already got some experience then. An outstanding player back in the 2002 world cup. Think it was Niall Quinns autobiography I can mind about him being so laid back and every coach journey no matter how long it took he would doze off in seconds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had a spell coaching in the Rep of Ireland youth setup. Either way glad to see him aboard, he was a brilliant winger in his day, I remember when he was with Chelsea, excellent player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 We slag off Rangers for their shite signings but Celtic surpassed them all with Jack Hendry. He was dug meat. Rodgers must have been on the glue when he signed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dug meat. Rodgers must have been on the glue when he signed him. He was sadly a stop gap signing when we signed Compper and he got injured straight away. Think we only had one fit centre half at that point so had to get somebody at short notice and Lawwell wasnt going to release much money. I thought he wasn’t a great player at the time and should have given gone for maybe Souttar instead but as usual we went for the cheaper option.

The_Judge Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The lad's still got time on his side and in Rogic and Christie you have examples of players who, after a season or two, didn't look like they'd be able to hold down a first team place at Celtic. Young Scottish players often seem to be an easy target imo and only a fool would dismiss the notion that BR might still make a very good player of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes still youngish but hes 23 (same age as Christie). He actually hadnt played a great deal of professional games either before Dundee and quite a low level. Other than being a prospect at Partick and playing decent in a terrible Dundee side for half a season he hasnt really done much of note in the game. He could still make it but for me he desperately needs games to build up more experience and wont get it here. Rodgers seems to still rate him so will go with his better judgement but I think he needs two seasons playing week in week out at a good level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The move was understandable, for both parties, but he's far too raw to be any use to you, and he'll never play enough to lose that rawness, unless you lot have major injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 22 he had only played about 50 professional games when he signed for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loan him to Aberdeen for a couple of seasons, once they cash in on McKenna, and he'll come back ready to step up like Christie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
