Shaun De Bruyne Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 And where are you pulling the figures from? Struggling to believe we'd pay 1.6k a week for a striker we knew would be injured half the season.Straight from the mouth of a director. Rangers insisted on it and we wanted him so agreed to it.

Shaun De Bruyne Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 You said he was "never off" it and always talking about them. Quick check of his Twitter suggests 1) He hardly tweets, 2) He likes golf, and 3) He tweets more about Livi than Rangers. So yes, I'd say that "Never off twitter talking about them and his WATP shite" was a lie. Usually I'd want the thread to stay on track but seeing who we're against I'd much rather put up with this tbf He’ll be more gutted at rangers season than happy with ours. His performances pre winter break are night and day compared to after the break. Job done, contract signed, injured again picking up a wage happy days as far as he’s concerned.

Menga Bus Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The service to him was absolutely shocking post-break, wouldn’t question his commitment but his confidence was probably low. Looked decent against hibs and then last night he was great, best game he’s played since hearts before Christmas. He got injured last night 30 minutes in and kept playing till the 80th minute with no complaints, to question his commitment is very unfair imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he was genuinely injured he’d be asking to come off so he doesn’t make it worse. Let’s be honest it’s a next to nothing game against Hamilton. Even if we’d lost last night there would be no chance of us going down. Why risk all that if he’s been injured 30 mins in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I’m curious how St Mirren kept it to only 2-0. It gives me some hope that Celtic aren’t firing on all cylinders. We need to play out of our skin aswell. As always, I know the boys will give a good go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 5 hours ago, Shaun De Bruyne said: Hardie with another “injury” I see? He’s scored goals for us but really hasn’t been as committed as he could’ve been. Seems to be happy being 5th choice striker at rangers and signing 1 year extensions every year then going out on loan. So frustrating because he has the talent he just needs to accept the fact he’ll never be a striker for rangers. Harsh, he was on fire pre winter break after 2 ops and a long lay off, since then he been largely played as a lone striker, against Accies he had wee Robbo helping him and he got a goal, and was playing after hobbling about with an injured foot just before HT. Agree with one of your other posts though, we've managed pretty well without him, and have played the first half of the season and some of the 2nd half without a recognised striker, which makes what we've achieved even more remarkable. Fantastic having someone like Halkett scoring so many goals too, could be 2 seasons running he'll be our top scorer (albeit joint top scorer last season).

WATP Last season he had Miller are-winter break he had Menga as a striker partner who created space and chances for him. After the winter break he was having to play as a lone striker so quite obviously was having to play differently and create space and chances for himself. He NEVER stopped running.

We have a close knit squad of players who all share the same hard-work ethic, I'd imagine if Holt or Martindale thought for one second that Hardie wasn't 100% committed then he'd be shipped back to Rangers like James Brown earlier this season and Steven Boyd last season.

gannonball Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I would like to see more fringe players and youngsters get a game for this one. Anybody with niggles or fatigued should miss out with the semi next week in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Izaguirre has been giving me nightmares. Glad Christie is back. Weah should be considered. Rogic looks very sluggish. All things considered, we've been in commanding position for most games since Lenny took over, just not been as clinical in front of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no doubt livvy would stay up. No thanks, we've been there before the last time we were in the top flight, when you scudded us 5-1? and had the balloons all ready to celebrate winning the title. Only good thing about that was getting a police motorcycle escorting our supporters bus through all the traffic lights back onto the motorway, we got home in jig time. You c***s are winning the league, if you had any decency you'd give us this game to finally break our duck against you, Celtic are the only SPFL team we've never beaten, two draws and the 3-2 defeat at Celtic park are the closest we've come to getting a win. Larsson scoring in the 4th minute of injury time after Celtic broke up the pitch when we were 3 on 2 to score the winner ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPHG Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 When Livi came to Celtic Park at the start of the season I said to my mate they were dead certs to go down.
