where was the defense though!?

yes, but our acceptance of short term answers is indicative of how bad things have got. i dont want a rangers reject coming back to us when he's passed it (if he ever really had it). to be accepting of this kind of thing is just to accept we are now a run of the mill spl side.

i wouldn't want him, he's most definitely past it. a step backward.

i think this is a good point, and i must own to it. but i think that it is the simple things you expect to see improved upon in a first season, and we're not seeing it.

bloody good player though.

back now - is this still happening?

very much agreed.

i think his comments are fair enough actually. of course, they dont reflect very well on him either.

i think it does aye. if we qualify first we'll avoid the champions league dropouts, who you would think would be better.

dont see him sticking around if he isn't going to be #1, but his last comments were all positive.

100% agreed. bet we got hee haw.

no mention of a fee.

naw, i've got a mobile, and, you're right, they can be used and abused - but i just hate the culture thats grown up around them. the advantage of them is that you can be contacted anywhere anytime, but this is also the disadvantage. people get annoyed when you dont text back, or dont answer the phone even though you have it, or get annoyed when you dont take it with you. i think it just feels to me like another technological imposition. the truth is you can hardly be a full functioning member of society, or in a group of friends, now, without a mobile phone. its seems like society becoming ever more dependent on the shit people sell you just to function. of course, i still have a phone, still like getting phone calls on matchdays with spare tickets and whatnot, but i still find it all a bit troubling.

aye, to be honest i agree entirely. the defense is just so fragile and if jvoh or any of his fiendish ilk up front hit any form we could be in for big problems. i still think if we can press and dominate the game we would take some burden off the defense, but we seem to be going for a more open style of play, rather than as much closing down. agree re: hearts, they hardly had a shot on target, and were especially poor up front.

true, but at least we haven't conceded in the last few spl games..

but not mobile telephones, oh no..

aye, good player, but clearly an arse.

oh, i agree. its simply poor form to say it, even if you privately consider it.

the quote reads like a poor translation. sounds like it has been filtered through the sensationalised interpretation of the media.

i agree, but its frankie you need to charm!

spoken with the voice of experience.

how did he play when he came on? the one thnig i noticed about him midweek was that he done what no-one has done for us in a while, and thats whip in a few dangerous crosses.

i really think we cant deny that the standard of football, when we actually play it, is better than much of what we've seen in a long while.

the boy scores goals. no doubt about it. i think he gets the criticism because in plg's system the loan striker has to do more than score goals. which is why a front 2 would be so much better suited to him.

so the consensus is that we need two centre halfs and a right back?
