We cant discount how we started the season, that is why we are playing catch up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the 2nd top scorers over the last 10 league games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Partick are in free fall as are queens. We havent lost this year and have scored in every game. We just drew with a decent united side who are better than most in the league. Id be very surprised if we cant finish at least 8th. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 We are a vastly improved team from the disgraceful collection of men in the wrong jobs we had after the summer bout of lunacy.As I stated a few days back avoiding relegation is the only target for this season and frankly I don’t give a toss where we finish as long as we are in this league next season, even if it takes a last minute own goal in the play off final to keep us up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMBairn Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Slightly off topic but I feel it's worth mentioning. When we tapped up McKinnon and put a few Morton boys in the sanatorium I thought that was the worst reaction to a manager leaving a club I would ever see. However, the Celtic fans are losing their mind over Rodgers going to Leicester, it is hilarious but I feel it takes the shine of the damage Raymondo did to the Morton lads and that is a little bit sad. We didn't even get a full season of being the biggest b*****ds in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The Celtic minded types are so utterly deluded / brainwashed that they behave like a religious sect or cult rather than supporters of a football club that no one outside of Scotland and Ireland gives a f**k about.Tbh, listening to Radio Scotland it’s the media that concerned me over all of this. They seemed to think its incredulous that a manager leaves Celtic to join an EPL club. Rodgers could never get a top 6 job in England with Celtic but he can if he does well at Leicester. Why our media think winning a treble with Celtic is in anyway an incentive to stay in Scotland is beyond me. For me if he had stayed he was in a cushy uncompetitive nothing job and lacked any ambition whatsoever.About time our media and the Neanderthals got a reality check imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers shafted them 36 hours ago, so it's understandable they're still p****d off, especially when they have replaced him with a patently inferior manager. McKinnon has been gone 6 months, yet the Greenock diddies are still as utterly consumed by it as they were on 31st August. It's ruined them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The Rogers thing was more akin to Jeffries departure. He had (stupidly) declared himself to be a “Celtic man”. The manner of his departure left Celtic trying to scramble around trying to manage the narrative when Rogers had in fact, shot the craw the day before, and had made it clear he was going as soon as the Leceister offer was known to him. In reality, it’s probably his last chance of riding the EPL gravy train, and if Leceister’s offer was “it’s now or never”, then I am sure he was happy to be portrayed as the generic football manager hypocrite he probably has always been. Such is life. There will doubtless be much rejoicing when he is inevitably sacked by Leceister, but I am sure he will pocket enough cash to ease the pain. Thereafter, a wee bit of punditry and a lot of golf will be the order of the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought but no looks like Chelsea are letting him go at the end of the season and Sunderland looking to put him into their Academy, Although think i read they got humped the other night, Also reading this from the article its almost like a report card and you would expect to have your balls booted for the last bit for a summary..lol:https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/who-ruben-sammut-sunderland-chelsea-15891613 Style of play Favouring a deep-lying midfield role generally, he is a competent distributor of the ball in the centre of the pitch. Despite sporadic appearances this season for Falkirk, where he averaged around 55 minutes of playing time per game, he still displayed a decent pass completion rate of 79.6%. He also enjoys a decent success rate in terms of passes into the final third, with 61.9% of those passes into the final third finding their intended target. Good at reading the game and breaking down opposition attacks, he averages around 3.8 interceptions per 90 minutes. Although he very rarely contributes in attacks, he is a competent dribbler if ever required to get himself out of any tight situations in the middle of the pitch. Although averaging just 0.71 dribbles per 90 minutes, his success rate in those dribbles is 80.8%. Areas to improve Although traditionally deployed a lot deeper on the pitch, Sammut offers very little in terms of creative or attacking threat. He failed to register a single shot on target for Falkirk this season and his Expected Goal (xG) average was just 0.01, suggesting he offered virtually nothing in the final third. He also failed to register any assists in Scotland this season, posting an xA average again of just 0.01. This would suggest he still needs to develop the creative aspect of his game, or he will be forced to rely on other creative players around him to produce and finish goalscoring opportunities 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep it civil so Morton don't lose their shit. When we went to Greenock just after Ray took a bigger job the local rag was going full gangsta on us.
