Intrigued to see what our new Manchester City wonderkid can do. Worth noting we have a highly rated young international star in the same position Rooney plays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Callum Hendry will score more goals than Lawrence Shankland this season and St Johnstone will finish above Dundee United this season. £10 charity bet for any Arab who disagrees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye if Shankland gets sold this transfer window maybe. Perfectly reasonable to expect St J to finish above Utd. But you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I also feel Callum Hendry will be smashing a fair few goals in this season and grabbing a lot of headlines. He is like an up and coming Alan Shearer in his all action style and confidence. With a rejuvenated JOH and Conway supplying him, double figures by Xmas. That's goal tally, and bids in millions of pounds. Shankland obviously comes with a massive head reputation, interesting to see how he does this season. The Man City player could potentially be a great signing for the Dundees, but can't think of anyone else out of their journeyman squad that I would want at Saints. Do they have anyone else who's decent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say the competition is void if either player moves elsewhere during the current transfer window. If either player moves elsewhere during the January transfer window, the winner will be whoever has scored the most goals at that point (if their team is also higher in the league at that point). Same rule applies if the league is cancelled at any point from January onwards. If Lawrence Shankland scores more goals than Callum Hendry, but St Johnstone are above Dundee United in the league, there is no winner. And vice versa. Are you happy with these rules, Mr Danger?

There must be something there as they seem fairly confident. Its nice to see a plucky wee team coming up from the lower leagues keen to make an impression on the big stage, but at the same time it's important they know their place and show some respect to the established top sides in the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Just now, Granny Danger said: Nope. I’ll go with the wording of your original post. If it helps at all my charity is itinerant, third rate PORG musicians, so you shouldn’t have to part with any cash. Interesting. I'm fine with that as I feel it benefits me more than you. Do I envisage Lawrence Shankland staying at Dundee United all season? Only if he completely flops. Either way, Callum will score more goals. I would tell you my charity of choice, but you'd probably forget by the end of the day and I can't be bothered repeating myself constantly. I will let you know the chosen charity in a few months' time so you can include a £10 payment to them in your will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the wording that I bet on, Shankland’s goals will count wherever he is playing and unless Hendry scores more goals than him AND St Johnstone finish above United then I win. As for the will; only the good die young. I will outlive everyone on P&B. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hendry was scoring at a higher rate than all of Griffiths, Morelos and Edouard last season. His "goals per minute" ratio was better than Shankland, despite playing in a higher tier and in a less dominant side. Dundee United fans are probably so dense they won't even know who he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The option of him and Hendry up front together for the last 20 minutes of matches bullying defences left right and centre is quite appealing. Tanto looks an absolute unit. Its amazing how excited you can get about a loan signing you've never seen play.. we've been here before once or twice, but it doesn't diminish the optimism! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Worth noting I've had 3 bets on here, won 3, only 1 paid his dues, it took him 18 months and two of those were from Dundee and one has just taken a charity bet on this thread.
