Anyone who honestly believes a profit can be made from the club is a fool. I’ve said that about Ogren from day one. I’m delighted he stepped in when he did, Christ knows where we’d be know if he hadn’t. However there will be a point in the future where he realises he has made a mistake and will cut his losses. I’m not sure how we will move forward from that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The Secret of the All Black's "success"* is its the only sport in the country and they steal lots of Polynesian athletes from other countries. HTH * No RWC win between 1987 and 2011. Tied for wins with South Africa who weren't allowed to compete at 25% of tournaments played and have a 50% win rate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfermline Arab Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Charlie Mulgrew out for 6 months after suffering a fractured skull in a trust exercise. Logan Chalmers out because his feeling were hurt in a communication session. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the squad then looking at how everything is being portrayed I wonder if Asghar is actually trolling everyone. Peter Pawlett isn't going to not get injured or become Iniesta because he's read about the All Blacks. Jamie Robson isn't going to learn how to cross a football doing that either. Similarly, Shankland isnt going to score goals without touching the ball because he's read about them either. Tony has more or less said we're working with the dross that's left from the Championship two seasons ago and the youths who are going to be inconsistent. So reading between the lines we're definitely skint. Im not surprised but I'd rather he said so and not gibber this sort of guff. Its clearly self promotion on his part. Realistically at a club the size of United, is it going to be possible in this day and age to produce that many youngsters (good enough) regularly to fill the first team? Especially when at 16 most of the decent prospects are poached by teams down south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mvondo_the_great Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I see us finishing 7th with a cup quarter final. After a slow start. Edited July 29, 2021 by Mvondo_the_great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Ashgar and Courts keep talking about our 'talented kids' but are they all that? Logan Chalmers is ok and that's about it - he's never going to command a large transfer fee imho. Kerr Smith might turn into a player, but he's 16 and is liable to make a tonne of mistakes as all young defenders do. I'm not exactly looking at them all and thinking other clubs will be weeping with jealousy. I might prefer Mochrie to play ahead of Harkes, but that says more about the latter than the former. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Pawlett out for the season would be one the better bits of news. Harkes joining him would be a further boost. 51 minutes ago, Mvondo_the_great said: I see us finishing 7th with a cup quarter final. After a slow start.
