  1. So you can't speculate about whether we'd have reached the EL final but you can speculate on the quality of our signing? Yeah, ok.....
  2. So you would have preferred to have sold him and not reach the EL final?
  3. Not sure that I agree that it was a bust. He contributed towards 55 and getting to the Europa League final. I wouldn't swap either of them. As a fan, I'd prefer to have them in the bank rather than the £15 million, spending which may not have had the impact we wished for.
  4. That's fine if we're wanting to just be a club that develops players. I'd prefer that we're the type of club that wins leagues. We can't afford to allow McCrorie to make mistakes. We need the best keeper we have. We saw this year what happens when we have young players in the team and they make mistakes when we played King. We dropped quite a few points and before we knew it, we were too far behind Celtic and the league was effectively finished. It would be great if we could do both challenge and develop but in a league where Celtic dropped a total of 3 points against the other 10 teams before they won it, we can't afford a single mistake.
  5. It was going to be Raskin until he went off injured too early, but next best for the whole game was Souttar.
  6. Good to see you back, mate. Both cause issues. Come off your line and don't get it then it's more difficult to save if the ball falls to the opposition. Hopefully we'll bring in a keeper who can confidently deal with high balls into the box. Agreed that based on yesterday, McCrorie doesn't look like he's ready to be our number one.
  7. What a performance. Courtois prevented it being seven.
  8. On the first half form, nobody can live with Man City. They've been immense.
  9. Yes, I think (and hope) that they can. It will be tricky but at home, they should have enough.
  10. Inter were well deserved winners.
  11. He's both awful and useful. Had a good game at the weekend though. If an offer for £3m+ came in for him, I'd snap your hand off for it, but I'll not lose any sleep if we keep him as a squad player for next season.
  12. Yes, well deserved. His goal got us into the CL and he gave many match winning performances. Good luck to him in the future.
  13. Deep down, they all know that we're not. The season ticket numbers prove it. Also, if we were new, they wouldn't spend as much time trying to convince everyone (including themselves) of that as we'd be irrelevant.
  14. Between 2013-2016 their season ticket sales were between 39K-43K according to their accounts, but jumped from 39K to 48.7K in the 2016/17 season.
  15. Yeah, he's shown a real turn in form over the past few games. Hopefully it was a fitness issue and he's going to play like that consistently next season, if he's still here.
  16. No. He's not yet up to speed with OF games and we would probably been a poorer team with him in it, particularly given the tactics of having a front two with pace. However he comes into his own when we're facing a low block. He has been the difference for us collecting all 3 points against stuffy teams on quite a few occasions.
  17. They were never getting anything from this game. The next two are more important. Hopefully they'll get enough against Wolves and Bournemouth. Good to see Patterson playing regularly now.
  18. There was a couple of months before the world cup where he seemed unable to put in a decent cross, match after match, which makes his nomination as POTY baffling. His crossing last season was far superior.
  19. Plenty of great performances but Cantwell was the best player on the pitch by a long way.
  20. Agreed. We played with our 3rd choice keeper, 2nd choice left back, 4th choice centre back and our 7th and 8th choice forwards (missing Morelos, Kent, Roofe, Colak, Lawrence and Tillman), and were also missing 2 midfielders.
  21. Did Hagi's solo lap of honour at the end mean he's leaving?
  22. Haven't renewed my two tickets yet. A task for tomorrow.
  23. Although around 17% of the season ticket price is VAT and gets paid to HMRC.
  24. Gers 3 - 0 Celtic Hattrick for Morelos
  25. I doubt a win in Saturday would make them think that. Whereas a win would take the monkey off not winning off Beale's back, including some of the pressure from the "Beale out" fans, plus sew doubts and knock the confidence of the celtic players. We don't want them going into next season with the winning mentality that they've had this season, ad it tends to be self-perpetuating, as we found during NIAR.
