There are at least players sitting out who are capable of changing today's backline. There's practically no-one there to add any sort of attacking threat to support of strikers. Upfront is where we need/needed bodies. Agree with this 100%. Anyone know why Holt has managed to find himself back in the starting 11? I wish when McCann finds a formation that works he just sticks with it. Getting overrun down the wings today and not sorting it out was quite worrying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossDee01 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Not going back. We were under 5000 thousand fans today. We need the support and we need it for this bigger and better stadium away to get built. I'm sick of listening to the shite that gets spouted around where I sit. I'll try moving seat first. Away games are much more enjoyable as these boo boys tend not to attend them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 To make matters worse my spy in the camp told me today that the management are now wondering if the new guy has played in ‘a year or maybe 2’ lol. I think signing this guy is totally mental. He’s got ‘absolute pish’ written all over him. We have enough distinctly average centre half’s at the club already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Also, some of the things being shouted at our players today was disgusting. I'm close to not going back. Some c**t behind me genuinely boo'd Kevin Holt when he got the ball at one point. I heard a few boos aimed at Holt too. I’ve always backed Holt but I think today you really saw what a difference Basque Jon makes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossDee01 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I sit far right of main stand ( next to Bobby cox end ). Seems the boo boys in the main stand are more central . That makes sense as I sit behind hospitality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure you understand how loan deals work, while simultaneously putting too much stock in what McCann said. I mean, he could have expressed the technical, legal position but saying "allow" is much simpler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Yes. Allowed - As McCann confirmed in his pre-match interview. I agree Ludo. Tell Celtic as part of the Hendry deal Allan is going nowhere - what would they care - then get the Cunter in and tell him play for us or you don’t play again this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the Allan/Hibs situation, we held all the aces and could have nixed it instantly by refusing to sell Hendry if that went ahead. It's simple stuff. We could have sold Hendry in the summer, but we chose not to do so. We could have kept Allan until the summer but WE chose not to do so. Allan/Hibs/Celtic do not come into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have taken that chance opposed to being bent over and receiving a forward with a poorer strike rate than Haber and losing our best CH with 1 minute to the deadline tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were holding a pair of 8s and your proposal would have been akin to betting the farm on the turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 And have another Bain situation? If necessary. We had no chance to replace him. Ok we’d be paying some of his wages but we are paying a lot of players wages who are contributing f**k all or at other clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er...no, we held sod all. We had a player that wasn't ours, a player that was ours but wanted out, and a player that was ours and whose valuation had been met. You do realise that if we refused to play ball, Celtic could have still bought Hendry and recalled Allan, while Hibs sent back Bain and Celtic found a different keeper. Net result - we end up losing two players we wanted to keep, regaining a player we wanted rid of, and bring in nobody new. Hence, "pair of 8s". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way is we owned 2 players Celtic wanted and we had one of theirs on loan who had 12 hours to get his loan to us cancelled and get reloaned to Hibs. Celtic I’m sure couldn’t really care what Scott Allan wants - we just had to tie him in with the Hendry/Bain deals. I actually think McCann for some reason didn’t really fancy SA all that much and was happy to get shot if him otherwise it seemed pretty easy to hang on to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossDee01 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Doesn't really matter - we have what we have, most of the players are exactly the shame and we should be more than capable of finishing comfortably above the bottom 2. I'm still confident we'll be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Looking to the past. What use is that going to do ye bunch of fannies ?. We have just got to get on with it.A Scottish cup win and 10th in league will be splendid I’ll remind you of that when you’re next moaning your tits off!Anyway time to get on the drink. I was so looking forward to the game today but it was obvious after about 5 minutes we weren’t up for it. One of the highlights of the season has been Scotty Allan’s wee cameos and they’re gone now [emoji26][emoji26][emoji26] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 f**k Scott Allan. He told McCann he wanted to go as soon as he heard Hibs were interested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one would you rather have? 57 minutes ago, Sarto Mutiny said: I'd rather have me in charge that Thompson tbh. You keep clinging to those straws though. Sounds like you now agree the original post by Ludo was ridiculous to compare Nelms and McCann to the “Baldy Snake” and “Ratnamara”. Took a while but you got there. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
