Devil's advocaat

Advertising works, if it didn't then brands would happily avoid spending millions of pounds a year on it.

Completely missing the point there. It's all about subliminally recruiting the next generation of losers.

Spot on Bill. Compo, I'd rather have dug shit on the front of my shirt than watch rugby.

Nope. Looks perfect for the Oche, not the famous turf.

Chill oot, aul yin. 😀

By referring to them as 'underperforming' it would suggest that you too agree that they are capable of more, and thus you agree that there may well indeed be a player in there 😁

Superb answer to the pathetic Lampard question.

I recall many of us saying the same about Tamundo, he's not won over everyone yet, but he's getting there, Sima is another example. Comparing that to a manager is apples and oranges though, completely different.

I'm sure he can, but he needs to be more than that, modern football teams can't carry a goalscorer like we used to.

There's a player in Lammers, I don't have the same belief in Dessers, hope I'm wrong. Sima and Danilo are quite exciting, get Matondo back fit too, could be a different outlook altogether.

Great result, well done Philippe.

My sentiments exactly Bill. 😆

Hearts play an awful kick and rush football, it's dreadful to watch, and very easily beaten.

I too get these vibes....

Something Leeanne Crichton said yesterday (I believe she's a bear?) That it was reflective of Beale that a fit John Souttar was ever on the bench. I'd agree, I think he's a superb player.

Aye, agreed, Lammers ball through which led to Simas second was a peach. Great to see Big Dessers get a good send off at the end, that'll help his confidence even more than scoring.

Is that 7 in 7 for Sima?....

I'm not accused of being reasonable very often, thanks. 😉

I believe there are players we could do with moving on, some who should get more time, and some we need to keep, but all of them will get a chance, mainly as its October and there's nothing that can be done for a few months. But, history is littered with managers that got a tune out of previously unheralded or underperforming players. #OptimistLoyal

He has to say that, really.

If we get offered good money for him, and our new DoF 🙏🏻 has a good alternative, off we go. Its what we should have done with others in the last couple of years

Nail on head Bluedell.

Lol true. When I used to do backshifts I watched the games I'd missed at 3x speed, and slowed when something looked promising, maybe Philipe is the same 😆

Absolutely, Very exciting times indeed. A proper manager, for the first time in a very, very long time. The Belgian football podcast guy was very good yesterday on radio, was great to hear Big Eck and Buffel too. The guy must've been sitting near PC on his flight over last week and said he sat and watched our recent games on his tablet all the way over.

Rumours Butland isn't happy? Sounds like made up nonsense.
