Buddist Monk Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) I fully back Stubbs to look at every option available. However, to bring in a religious bigot who has shown himself to be a destabilising force is probably the worst move he could make. It's obviously a long way off, as just some random claiming he was at the ground doesn't mean he's about to sign, but if he did I would have serious issues going to games. 8 hours ago, djchapsticks said: Suppose under the circumstances beggars can't be choosers and if he scores the goals to keep us up then it would be risk Worth taking. No, it's really not, because Stokes wouldn't be the difference between us staying up or not, and he's certainly not the only thing that will determine our season. In cases like this it's beholden upon the new boss to understand the club's ethos. The whole beggars can't be choosers is never a valid argument. We are not beggars here, and we have an awful lot of choice - or at least should have as both Stubbs and Jackson will have "contacts". I totally take the point you are making, and I don't want to put out any false dichotomies but to me my principles and certain red lines would make supporting a team with Stokes leading the line very difficult to do.

RandomGuy. Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Stokes He was absolutely adored at Hibs, and he was still thick enough to get himself sacked from there, moving him closer to Glasgow just seems idiotic. He's an "avoid at all costs" player these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 8 hours ago, djchapsticks said: Someone on BAWA saying that Anthony Stokes was at the training ground today. Clearly still talented as a footballer but he's a fucking halfwit. Suppose under the circumstances beggars can't be choosers and if he scores the goals to keep us up then it would be risk Worth taking. Hopefully if it does come to pass it's at best a pay as you play deal and at worst, has several caveats that allow us to terminate if he's being a w**k. Stokes wasn't at the training ground at all yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect Stokes to be interested in us. I think a benchmark needs to be made though, in the sense that people like Stokes are not an acceptable player to bring in. I hope Stubbs realises this, no matter his personal relationship with Stokes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddist Monk Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Here is the first set of fixtures: 04/08/18 - (H) Dundee 11/08/18 - (A) Rangers 25/08/18 - (H) Livingston 01/09/18 - (A) Hearts 15/09/18 - (H) Celtic 22/09/18 - (A) Hamilton 22/09/18 - (H) Hibernian 06/10/18 - (A) Aberdeen 20/10/18 - (H) Kilmarnock 27/10/18 - (A) St Johnstone 31/10/18 - (H) Motherwell Not dreadful, although we really need to take points from Dundee and/or Livi otherwise we could be sitting at the bottom the first few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having gone up a division and lost our manager, I think it's safe to say all bets are off in terms of our form. At least, though, our spell in the Championship has given us the chance to get a proper run of wins under our belt at SMP or whatever the f**k it's called this week. Scary to think that until last season, we had really only picked up sporadic wins there since it opened nearly ten years ago. Be nice to reacquaint ourselves with the Dees. Is that guy Jack Ross still managing them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 It's the worst possible time to play you. Even if you do turn out to be pish, you'll have decent momentum behind you and a hyped fan base. This can easily make a difference. Looking forward to it nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hardly played last season and will be another year older as well. Might be OK as back up, but if he is seen as a replacement for Naismith I'd be worried. My worries have been put to rest. Ferguson said County aren't looking at Irvine, and that it's probably his agent geeing up interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
