Ryan Kent was here for five years and picked up two trophies. What a medal haul!

Kent did something worthwhile about once every ten matches during his time here (step-overs don't count - goals and assists do). Cerny, Cortez and McCausland are all doing better, in their short time in the first team. Matondo probably is too but I don't count him because he's rubbish.

Time machines haven't been invented yet, so peak Kent is long gone.

Surely any sensible person judges a player on their recent performances and not ones from two to three years ago? Kent just had his contract terminated because he's been rubbish in Turkey. He was rubbish with us for two seasons prior to that as well (like absolutely useless). I'm going to call it Benign Nostalgia Delusion Syndrome.

What are you doing about it, just out of interest?

I'm sure it's some sort of nostalgia disease.

Absolute bollocks, apart from Matondo.

Hopefully some daft club pick him up soon, so we don't have to endure endless rumours about him returning to Ibrox. He has been useless for a good couple of years and I very much doubt Clement will be remotely interested anyway.

No but it helps.

Always seems busy on matchdays and I'd imagine with gigs etc. It might take a while to build up a steady turnover.

Koppen and Clement seem to have a far better idea of how to sort out the squad than the previous two management teams. Obviously, it's too early to really gauge that seriously but we've brought in some decent looking young players, whilst getting rid of a few past it high earners.

You mean it may not be a toxic omnishambles? 😀

That has already happened. UEFA actually love pyro, as these fines pay for their lavish knees ups and jollies all year round.

I haven't sat in the new areas of the Copland but from what I've read, some of the initial negativity about poor views has been debunked. I'm sure the architects were aware of these issues prior to signing off on the design.

We've sung a slightly different version on various recent trips to Germany. "RAF of Britain...".

Germans don't get offended about it, so why are you? I bet people said similar things about our songbook when MoJo signed. 😉

More importantly, what happened to @Rousseau's regular thread title fixes. "Heros"?

Just watching Croatia v Scotland and the commentator said Alex Salmond passing away is a sad moment for "all of Scotland". NOT ME PAL. However, Michael Stewart sounding heartbroken made up for it. 😀

About as likely as a visit from Jason Voorhees.

That's what I recall too.

Stock phrases and nicknames are so last year.

It's very much a 'be careful what you wish for' scenario. Some seem far less careful than others.
