Shankland would be considered home grown right?

We dont need to bother about homegrown anymore , the EU deemed these illegal at the last set of hearings , as far as Im aware its gone. Royal Antwerp appealed to the EU court of justice and its going through just now.

There was never any chance of us spending circa £4million plus on a soon to be 29 year old Shankland , we just need to keep the faith that PC can get a tune out of these players plus the 3 new ones.

The guy they brought in to run it left/was sacked last year so ..............

Dessers may possibly get a call up for  Nigeria , as one of their main strikers has been injured , so if so , we definetly need another striker

It's offside or it's not, yes, but the penalty decision has a level of subjectivity to it - hence the reason why some think it was a penalty (Dermot Gallagher) and some think it wasn't (Jay Boothroyd).

 

There's always a level of subjectivity in many decisions; that will never change.  

But the hand ball rule is now a complete lottery, and its affecting the outcomes of games in a way that other  decisions dont.

What crime?   

 

I agree a penalty should have been awarded, but I'm not of the opinion that it's a stonewall penalty; it's partly accidental.

 

This morning, Dermot thought it was a penalty, yet Jay Boothroyd, who was in the discussion, thought it wasn't. It's not an egregious decision not to award a penalty. 

To be fair its either a penalty or its not , offside is either offside or its not , personal opinions are creeping more and more into the game , every live game you watch its the same , the rules should be clear cut , at the moment the game is a farce

How we performed and this refereeing debacle are two totally separate issues. Even if we had won this game I would still be very angry at how this has played out. 

No I agree with you 100%

We will never know if it was offside or not as the still that was shown was not the correct image that should have been used , however at the end of the day we should have done better . 

Given how poor we are upfront in the main striking dept , its a miracle imho that IF we win our games in hand we will only be 2 behind , PC has worked wonders with a squad that cant finish chances are are down to the bare bones in midfield .

Guys I know this is being a pest , but still looking for any ticket for the cup final , I have 1 for the North stand but need 2 together 🍺

Hi troops ,

I have 1 ticket for the cup final and am desperately needing another as my daughters boyfriend is over from the states and I said Id try and take him , he's never been before , every other game whilst he's here I am either away on holiday or we are away , if anyone can help it would be much appreciated . The ticket I have is for the north stand , so I would be willing to swap it if that helps , I know its a big ask .

Am I right in thinking the CL will be moving to a new format and to access that we need to win the League this year?

Its definitely moving to a new format , however you need to be a Philadelphia lawyer to understand the 2nd place route

last season there were only , I believe 3 goals conceded more than Celtic , however we scored over 20 less than them , thats whats cost us , if we can convert only 10 % more of the same amount of  chances that we created last year we will win this league .

There are players that have left that brought me great moments and memories over their time at the club , but they simply didnt produce last year , we now have serious options up front , yes at the back we are a bit all over the place at the moment but if we can get the midfield sorted out that will help massively . As per usual with us there is a massive over reaction to any negative , we need to hold out nerve .

Last controversial personal point , I still think it would be better for us to be in the Europa league given this world club championship possibility , but thats just my opinion .Given the changes to the champions league next year we need to win the title , end off .

Goldson, Souttar, Davies and TBA/Panzo.

 

It was also suggested that was the case by Davie Edgar on H&H, and presumably he gets some inside info. It was said if Davies was sold then we'd look to bring in another CB.

 

However ultimately I don't know for sure, but can't imagine we'd be going with Balogun as number 4 given our expenditure elsewhere. It wouldn't make sense. 

direct quote from MB today mate ,""it's important that we have four senior centre backs fighting and pushing, we know the issues we had in that position last year", so looks like balogun is number 4 and unless Davies goes .............

Wow,  we have actually recieved more for him than Kent and Morelos,  how strange 😳 

We have had numerous breaks all season where we had overloads , infact at home v Dun Utd last week we had 4 breaks in the last 10 min where we had superior numbers and we screw it up every time .

I also wonder at the timing of MacGregors testimonial , July 18th , that's right in preseason territory,  hmmmmmmm 

Our biggest problem is the same as it was under Gio , we simply aren't clinical enough , every game this season the manager at that time in their presser afterwards would bemoan that fact .

I love Morelos and Kent , however domestically against Celtic they dont contribute enough .

So we have 7 league games left inc 1 against them , and the semi final of the cup , given the overhaul thats required and admited by Michael Beale himself , how do we see the rest of the season going .

2nd place in the league is already certain , there are players that havent featured much under Beale , Yilmaz for 1 , do we need to give these guys the rest of the league program or do you think he will try different formations .

The amount of players leaving will be more than people think imho , or do you think we just carry on as we have been and try to keep winning games .

I suppose the semi final will determine a lot of the above .

My father was very friendly with the great man , he used to stay at our house in Tarbert , Loch fyne , for years he visited us and his stories were amazing .

This question about the strip was asked numerous times and always he had the same answer , he had over the years sold dozens of these strips claiming it was the one he wore , I feel so sorry for so many people who bought them. In the end he was a really sad character .

What a superb performance , 👏 👌 

This pitch is absolutely horrendous 

8 games , 7 wins , 18 scored 9 lost , considering how low on confidence we were, given its the same players with no backups etc etc , you can't really ask more .

Killionly lost 1 in last 9 at home on that horrible pitch and freezing conditions .

What a turn around
