In the long history of our club there might have been some players who couldn’t be replaced but James Tavernier certainly isn’t one of them. As far as I’ve seen, no one at all has brought out knives for Tav but it’s indisputable that he’s prone to losing form and to making costly defensive errors. He has been vital for the team but the team is changing and we can no longer afford a fullback whose defensive duties require the constant cover of other positions. What he brings in terms of attacking will now largely be provided by others and it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s been discussed with him already - hence his current apparent loss of confidence.
We could swap Tav's goals and assists for someone who is more defensive minded but attacking wise is non existent.
His assist record alone is irreplaceable. When was the last time we had a player who had 20 assists, let alone a defender?

One bad game and the knives are out for Tav. What he brings to the team can't be replaced. If we do sell him it'll need to be for a ridiculous amount.

I don't know why some Rangers fans are surprised when a 'journalist' writes a negative story on our fanbase. Its been happening for years.
Why it's constantly us being targeted is baffling when every club has a moronic support. For example, a Lanarkshire club has a youth ultra setup on the go (it's basically wee boys aged between 13 and 17 who think they're tough) and the havoc they cause before and after matches is horrendous but because they support their team during the match the media don't see the stuff that's happening outside the stadium in and around the streets.
Another two Premier League clubs have a fanbase similar to the one mentioned above who are intent on battling with rival fans before and after matches but this gets no air time either.
And Aberdeen fans are just cunts.

I've booked tickets in Club Deck 2 for myself and my cousin who is coming from Australia for first time in 30 years.
Can anyone tell me what the view is like from there, as it's some time since I've been there myself?
A bit late but if you're over 5ft 10 then you'll walk away from your seat like a crumpled up crisp bag. Far too tight and cramped up there.

The Pompey fans love him already. My ex work colleague now lives down there and has decided to follow Pompey. Every time we speak or text he always raves about McCrorie.

More empty seats at Pittodrie then. Scottish football is blooming right enough.

A very strange performance last night. We could've won by a barrel load but also drew 2-2.
First half we were fantastic. From the whistle we were in their faces playing that high pressing game, quick passing and a high tempo with the ball.
Second half we seemed to lack ideas or any urgency and were lucky not to concede.
McGregor's handling worried me. He seemed to flap at a couple of 'easy' catches although he did make a fantastic save with his legs.
Goldson must have scuddy photos of Gerrard's wife on his phone. He shouldn't be 1st choice centre back but I felt that Edmundson and Aribo both played well again.
We really need to work on our creativity in the final third. We seem to struggle when we get there.
Lots more to work on in general. A better team last night would've taken one of their chances.

England were impressive for the 1st 20 minutes of the game. Other than that they huffed and puffed without doing much.England were quite impressive in that first half, then seemed to wilt under the mental pressure in the second.

I rated Bates. Alves on the other hand...You didn't rate Alves & Bates ? [emoji23]
Yeah, would be a difficult job to find a better pairing than Barsei & Maldini in the last 50 years, if ever.

Holt isn't good enough. He does a lot of the leg work and is an excellent pro but he's a just not good enough.

Away to Hibs first game of the season.

Obviously, that's why he had to post some stats.I'm pretty sure BD knew you were joking, as did I [emoji3]
I don't think there is a better centre half partnership than Baresi and Maldini. Certainly not since I've started watching football anyway.

See the above post.Only an Arsenal fan would try to make the comparison.... Wait, I'm an Arsenal fan and I find the comparison embarrassing.

C'mon mate, you didn't think I was serious did you?Maldini - 5 Champions League, 1 World Cup,
Baresi - 3 Champions League, 1 World Cup
Adams, Keown, Campbell - 0 Champions League, 0 World Cup,

Campbell and Adams -> Baresi and Maldini.You should probably stop drinking now.

Baresi & Maldini...... now there was a defensive partnership.....

From another forum.....Would like to hear a verdict on the guy from Croatia. I’ve watched the highlights of about 3 of his games and tbh haven’t been overly impressed. He doesn’t come across as being as physical as I’d hope, and was utilised quite wide on the right or left of a back 3. However highlights tend to show successful attacking moves and not unsuccessful ones.
Got a wee buddy in Croatia but not much to say.......
He was decent, played 2nd division here then moved to Slaven Belupo which is midtable club..media praised him always but didnt watch him enough
He plays as cb and cdm
Reckons he is a good signing though.0 -
Apparently Auchenhowie will be renamed Hummel Training Centre after Hummel bought the naming rights to it.

Delighted with this signing. Goldson too.
