  1. That’s our missing holding mid, a young sivert. If we sign one more player this window, it’s him. It’s great that we have all these young players who look good at times, this needs to be a 25-30 yr old with experience/leadership. Shinnie and Armstrong do it sometimes, Clarkson too, but I don’t think the first two are naturally that guy plus aren’t long term solutions. didnt see the games Kjarten played, despite being younger, can he do that??
  2. As basic as it is, anyone who has played the game as a defender or midfielder has been told not to let the ball bounce. Saw it again yesterday, the hesitancy and doubt. Even if the header isn’t perfect, letting the ball bounce leads to problems so many of the times. Our two CDs do it, Jensen is probably the worst. That’s defending 101 and if leven or the new manager simply emphasizes that we’d be doing a lot better too. Also encourages players to be more aggressive in the air if you play by that ā€˜rule.’
  3. Then again, if we can beat Real Madrid and be the best team in Europe starting two 19 year olds, and our central midfielders being 19 and 22, no reason not to place expectations on frame bilalovic lobban Milne and Kjarten! Was really pleased for nisbet yesterday, finally able to play his game by getting proper service for the first time this season. As mentioned too, fully expected sivert’s goal to be disallowed based on the shiteness of the ref and var.
  4. I thought it was very clear that bilalovic had been instructed to take the ball outside, much like frame told to get upfield aggressively which he didn’t do in his previous game. If you can get devlin to bomb on like he has done in the past too, the two of them on the right can be just as effective as topi and frame were yesterday. If devlin doesn’t have the legs for it lobban is certainly capable. yesterday gave me hope, but for us to get that aggressive play wide we need that mobile holding mid to provide cover, and central defenders who don’t make silly mistakes. Obviously frame and a right back pushing up is affected by the confidence they and the team has with the defenders/players behind them and we have been hurt with mistakes from long balls and lost cheat goals there. we’ve signed Morrison, need that midfielder this week. Think it could kjarten long term so another loaner in right now is fine, but we’re starting to ask for a lot from a number of young and inexperienced players.
  5. Why make this personal? Why not just have a discussion? This is why i rarely read and contribute to this thread. got my info reading CNN. Any time there’s an incident I do read CNN, I’ll check fox, msnbc too, as you can get vastly differing stories. Read a little more on NPR this evening discussing an armed man approaching federal agents and he violently resisted them trying to disarm him. trump didn’t stand on executing citizens, 100% agree with you there. I didn’t say that. The majority of Americans did vote him in, that’s fact. for today’s incident, keen to see full footage and get full info in the coming days/weeks. Why would you assume im not interested in hearing the full story and truth? When I have joined this threat in rhe past I do debate and discuss, open to listening, why judge/jump to these conclusions? As I’ve already said though, this is a highly charged situation that I question the intelligence of people getting involved in trying to confront armed agents, especially if armed themselves.
  6. Not in Scotland though, i just don’t think he handles the pace and physicality of the Scottish game. Eager to see how he plays in MLS though, I do think him playing in Scotland has made him a better player. Only way I’d see him succeeding in Scotland would be in central defense as a partner with a left footed mattie pollock. 150k to st Louis, considering he’s out of contract in the summer and we have a bloated squad, fair enough.
  7. Similar to sokler in a way, always wanted the guy to do well, it just didn’t work out. Just not got that battling quality or engine that Scottish football requires. Maybe even like jimmy, nice guy, just not the right place for them. have the upmost respect for penalty takers, was surprised he had the stones to take one, and a lovely one at that. Dont really follow MLS, but will check in once in a while to see how he’s doing, not unlike seeking how Ferguson is doing in Italy.
  8. Please clarify?
  9. What’s the lie?
  10. Trump is doing what he campaigned on, and what the majority of the country voted on. From what I am reading, ICE was going after an illegal immigrant with a history of domestic violence. These have become highly charged environments, and if a citizen wants to go there armed and get involved in an altercation with armed law enforcement, that’s not a wise choice if you ask me. Sad to lose a life, but I have little sympathy for those who do not apply common sense. If you go armed to a volatile environment, you are accepting the consequences. Same as if you try to drive over armed law enforcement. If you are going to mess with law enforcement who put their lives on the line every single day, consequences are on you. I’m 100% behind law enforcement and couldn’t imagine what they go through every single day, not knowing if that day is their last, especially if you deal with an unpredictable public in a hostile environment who are armed and possibly not weapons trained.
  11. Agree to an extent to the lobban and frame comment, especially when we don’t really have a holding mid on the park who can fill in when you bomb on. Jensen’s a bit more conservative and his usual cutting back is the opposite of what we want to see, plus milanovic, those two at once killed the fun a little, and it was only 3-2 when devlin went off so I get there conservative approach. Then again, put them in and we score 3 in 30 mins! interesting week ahead on the manager and transfer front, but this result should be a real boost for the team.
  12. Based on the reactions at the time, hate to say it, I wondered that.
  13. Trust me, miller was special, fully agree. But we do need one dominant central defender, finding one is hard. Two would be great but unlikely.
  14. Be fair and honest. I’m not defending trump. But trade deals were made. Relationships with certain countries developed. Trump demanded other countries step up, in actions and funds, a that has happened. Meeting with both Russia and Ukraine. US stock market is booming. much like the media here, may of you seem to ignore half the truth. Again, not defending trump and some of the things he’s doing, but progress was made. The threat of tariffs had an effect, got results for trump and the US, hence the threat was dropped. I know people hate trump and see negatives, but good things are happening too. For the US at least which obviousky doesn’t please everyone. ive openly stated problems with trump, I’m not one sided.
  15. Dante back to MLS by the sound of things.
