DMAA

Interesting arrangement, sounds like a good idea.

When you hear of comments like that you realise you would never subject yourself to being in the company of these people for even a minute in person.

I think it's far more likely he'll be interested in the likes of McGregor and Tierney. Kent is not an EPL player, if he doesn't come here he'll go to the Championship. Leicester would be too big a step for Morelos imo too but bottom half EPL is possible for him if he keeps improving and working on his technical game.

The UBs ironically hold the key to solving the problem of the dark side of the songbook. Surely the club could grant them some privileges on the basis of an agreed set of rules, with basically a type of strict liability. The UBs are in a unique position in that they largely dictate what is sung in the stadium, the club should be using that to their advantage surely.

@JohnMc @Tannochsidebear What are the arguments against safe standing?

I find it difficult to get too enthusiastic though because really we've had an easy run of games and still managed to drop 2 crucial points in that time.

Good score but we wasteful in front of goal. I thought Morelos and Kent gave away the ball a lot in the final third. Kamara, Jack and Arfield looked very good, they make a very good trio and had some very good interchanges. Kamara is a huge improvement over McCrorie/Coulibaly in those kind of games, we needed more technical ability and he’s brought it. Aberdeen will be a big test for him afte ran easy start though.

Strange he lack of wide players on the bench again. 1 centre back, 3 centre mids and 2 centre forwards on the bench. I don’t think there’s enough variety there.

We don’t spend enough on lawyers, sue them for false advertising

As an extension to this, we need to be in the mindset of thinking about goal difference with these games. Celtic won this fixture 5-0 and (although every game is different and unpredictable) I think Gerrard will and should be going in aiming for something similar to close the goal difference gap which has opened up.

Not if he sees it as weakening the side in any way

Since taking points off us they've haven't won at Dens with a draw to QoS (lost 3-0 to them a week later), 1-0 loss to Motherwell and 4-2 loss to Hibs. Scraping through tonight isn't enough, we need to win comfortably and send a message to Celtic and Lennon that we're breathing down their necks and from here on in we are on league winning form.

I think you've got the team right. I'm still unsure about the 4-5-1 vs the 4-4-2 with Defoe stepping in but that's not going to change after two 5-0 wins. However I definitely think Kamara has made the 4-5-1 a much better option because he's a much better possession player than Coulibaly and McCrorie which is so important.

David Moyes almost lost his job at Sunderland for much less.

Talk sport is a hilarious listen just now, on the wind up big time! “Rodgers was scared of Gerrard” and “nobody cares if the treble treble outside of Glasgow” and stuff like that, they know the tims will be absolutely seething and they’ll get a reaction out of them every time

If Rodgers thought he would be given the resources to reach the Champions League group stages next season he'd have stayed, simple as that.

Can’t deny it’s good news for us, he’s proved himself to be a good manager. However Lawwell has played a an absolute blinder financially yet again if he’s managed to be paid £6m for this.

If it’s true he’s been unhappy with the board re finding its not far fetched. He said to judge him on Europe but to be fair to him he hasn’t had the investment he’d have expected when he said that.

I think Transfermarkt is more reliable. It has Kent on 30 appearances and Murphy on only 22. Numbers like these are always only an indication though and don’t tell the full story, we’d definitely agree on that.

No no that’s not what I said. “..works hard and looks like he’s unplayable but then when you look at output only he performs poorly consistently” By output I mean mainly goals and assists and clear cut chances created. I’ve agreed that he brings plenty to the team.

Fixed that for you ? I feel Kent flatters to deceive, works hard and looks like he’s unplayable but then when you look at output only he performs poorly consistently. Murphy the opposite, gets a lot of criticism from the fans but actually produces quality assists and finishes quite consistently. That just basically how I see it.

Jamie Murphy ?

Calm down I just misunderstood you because we had been talking about assists. We don't that know for sure, they probably don't themselves until the transfer window comes and they see what options are out there. Whether I would be disappointed or not would depend on how much of our budget we spent on him and partially how Grezda does for the rest of the season. With Murphy returning too it's probably not an area of the team I'd want to throw a few million at.

Kent wasn't involved in Arfield's goal @ian1964 I think you're thinking of something else and for Jack's it was Halliday who was sucking players over making out that he was going to cross it, he passed to Kent who took a heavy touch and then got a toe to the ball to knock it to Jack who scored against the odds from distance. The penalty again he literally just got a toe the ball and got taken out, to call these "assists" is fine in terms of a literal definition but in reality is very flattering. Look he's a good player and brings something to the team, for me he's just overrated and a fit Murphy would bring more end product (goals and assists) to the team despite looking less dangerous.

Well it’s another jammy one isn’t it. There’s a big difference between giving Morelos an open goal as Candeias did twice at Killie and those two “assists”. I’ve no reason to be biased against him, he’s a Rangers player and he brings something to the team, I obviously just judge a player in his position a bit differently to most people.
