Curran, Loemba, Barton, Rabitsch, King, Scobbbie? Might appear that I'm shouting other fans down here, but how do you know that players have been banished away from the first team squad? It would be extremely foolish for R Neilson to do this, given he has signed no replacements, and injuries or illness could hit at any point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably fair up to a point but we don't know that replacements haven't been signed nor do we know who has been excluded or why. If the guys excluded are a disruptive influence and/or miles out of the picture and have been treated fairly then there's surely no cause for complaint. There's a purpose to training which goes beyond fitness (team shape, cohesion etc); if there are guys at the club who aren't going to play then you can see why it might be counter productive to keep them in the main group. Or he might just be trying to gently encourage some guys to f**k off, which is fair enough as well.

dundeeunited83 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Get these idiots away from the club, no having that the team will get upset by, if you’ve ever played in a football team, you’ll ken that you get frustrated like f**k by the shite in your team, move on and find a new club for the benefit of your careers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I like the fact hes split them into a team of "good guys" and "wanks". About time they got a bit of a boot up the arse. Weve had to put up with some utter fucking embarrassments and im glad these players are getting a taste of their own medicine. Id personally have them going about the stands scraping the choonie off the concrete, painting the walls and cleaning the toilets. Cant wait to hear Loemba, Barton et al in the papers saying how badly theyve been treated. Forgetting how fucking awful theyve performed and how little they've tried. Ive watched my club bring in some diabolical players and managers, im glad to see someone shake the tree and get rid of the core of the problems. Just dont f**k it up now Robbie or you will look like a tit too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Neilson has been in long enough to know which players he rates and which he doesn’t. I hope he brings in players who are a better fit, have a better attitude and who he thinks can give us that little extra in our chase for promotion. I am not naive enough to think that we are going to attract a ‘higher’ level of player than Curran or King; hopefully a step up on Loemba and Barton though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Called up to the full US national squad last year according to wiki. You'd think he'd have more attractive options than the Scottish championship but I suppose you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dish out caps like nobody's business as they play about 20 games a year. It's not exactly a reflection of quality if someone has a couple of caps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Son of John Harkes, as in the one who played for that decent Sheffield Wednesday team in the early 90s? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Not exactly United related, but if the ‘Gauld to Hibs’ rumour is true then it will be a sad reflection of how the lad’s career has gone.
