While Celtic should stroll though, there's no way you can assume Steven Gerrard's Rangers will beat a Russian team. Should be an interesting tie though.

Who's we?

We had Supple on loan for a bit. There's a good article online about him where he states his time with us was his most enjoyable in the game. Having to make his own pieces etc.

This is the worst thing I have ever read in my life.

Yes Gretna got prize/TV/sponsorship money paid early in order that they could complete the season. Soon before RFC went into admin and subsequently got erased from history, the rules were changed so the mythical club/company separation could take place.

I think to be fair he did, but I admit to being distracted and missing the goal at the game. Even if he did, he did absolutely zero the other 89 minutes.

I only found out that fact today! At the game he was putting himself about and caused a couple of moments of danger, but the idea he is a Serie A striker is hilarious. He got booked for diving, and if someone had said he was a big prospect of a lad on loan from Birmingham City or some other dross nobody would have blinked.

If we had a McKee in midfield last night that would have been an improvement as TOE has no noticeable ability to pass, head, shoot, tackle, create or destroy. At least McKee can create, and would have been no worse in defensive duties than TOE.

Not a peep apart from one standard RFC penalty claim when the ball was blootered against someone's side/shoulder/thigh from 0.27 nanometres.

Jeezo he really looks like he doesn't give a feck. Whether that's to do with the interview or the wider situation I could not say...

Standard bigot banner too. I really really want to crush this lot into oblivion.

What are you talking about? 1 = Sheps 2 = McKee and Harris

Yes, he also scored a cracker v Cowdenbeath in the league, and a header at Somerset Park in the CC. He'll never play this high again, but I think people went way over the top with their criticism when he's basically a young player struggling to make it as a FT pro. The 2 year deal was bonkers though.

I admittedly have only seen the Montrose and St Johnstone games, but put it this way, I never disagreed with you.

It's clearly an example of "be careful what you wish for" isn't it? The vast majority of those players had to go. I don't think that's the issue, it's the fact they've been replaced by absolute turkeys (Petra, Turner, Sammut imo), or the formation is so bad it's making what talent we have look dreadful and unbalanced. I think the recruitment was always a risk, but I was happy to go with PH's judgement as he largely got it right last season. But the regression in his tactics and selections this year is utterly baffling.
