    McCrorie was in league 1 for about 3 months aged 18 and it was about 18 months before he made his debut for us. Barjonas will be 20 this season.

    Struggling to see your point here mate? Aside from Ross being 15 months older than Jamie.

    I'm not writing him off after 1 game though, he's played a handful of games for Rangers and I've seen him fairly regular in the under 20's too and he's a nothing player. 

    Will we just pretend poor players are good players because it makes us feel good or something?

    I will say that that night at Easter Road even though we won, no-one played that well and that includes the senior players and regulars but that doesn't mean Barjonas played well either. He was lost. Couldn't make any sort of impression - it doesn't bode well. We can't have these types of passengers just because they are younger and we just hope they get better.

    Honestly some fans need to just waken up and see what's in front of their face and step into reality. It would bode a lot better for everyone.

    I'm not saying he played well either to be fair. He came on as a sub a couple of games under Pedro when he first took over March/April time and really didn't feature much last season and here maybe that's because the management team think he's gash as well, but to say he's rotten at this stage is just stupid. 

    You need to weigh everything up as I said earlier, had he played a run of games and showed nothing then yes you'd have an argument to say he's not going to make it. 

    I don't watch any under 20's football whatsoever admittedly but still think it's harsh we see glimpses of players coming through and they are written off because they didn't score a 30 yard wonder goal or boss the midfield or some shit.

    The standards at Rangers are high but the standard of football has decreased since we were bringing guys like Barry Ferguson etc through. You say folk need to see what's in front of their face and step into reality which was a bit ironic.

    Scottish league 1???

    If that's the level he's at now he's never going to make it here

    Ross McCrorie spent half a season on loan at Ayr in L1 and then spent another half season in a relegation scrap at Dumbarton (albeit in the league above) and he turned out alright.

    OK I've had a think, played back the game in my heed and he was still shite.

    Just so happens you've got a reason for it and that is that he's not played enough in your eyes to make an impact. It doesn't mean he was any less shite in that game.

    What were you expecting from him though? To be fair I don't think anyone in our team played "well" in that particular game, we just managed to grind out a win. Hibs were all over us for the majority of the game, we just had a 5-10 minute spell were we played some nice stuff and got ahead.

    The guy is 18 ffs, you seem quick to write him off after one game last season. I could understand where you were coming from if it was Halliday, Jack, Dorrans etc that had been playing instead of him, but Barjonas has had fuck all first team experience AND playing at Easter Road isn't exactly the easiest of games.

    If he had featured more regularly on the lead up to Hibs and didn't play well then I would probably agree with you but you are dismissing him after ONE game. :lol: 

  5. Don't think anyone has seen enough of him to form an opinion. Folk saying he was shite at Easter Road need to have a think about what they are saying :lol: He hadn't really featured much in the first team at all and then got thrown in.....

    Loan deal with regular first team football in Scottish League One etc would be best for all parties imo.

  6. Any decent manager would be able to get more out this team.

    Anyway, out of the current crop the only guys worth keeping are: Foderingham, Tavernier, John, Jack, Dorrans, Windass,  Halliday, Rossiter, Morelos, Candeias, Holt, Cummings (permanent deal), Murphy (permanent deal), McCrorie and Docherty. Even then there are guys in that list I would still take any decent money for or are just there to add a bit of depth. 

    Youth players aside, everyone else should be written off and binned. 

     

  7. Cummings isn't going to play well when we play to his weaknesses ffs. He at least showed a bit of effort closing their defence down, trying to hold up play, backing into their defenders, but we kept playing high balls to him, he's a fucking midget for fucks sake he's never going to win anything in the air against Ajaer and Boyata.

    Complete lack of service as well but I will say that when Windass got a bit of space on the right Cummings made no effort to get into a decent position in the box.

    We should still sign him as I believe a better manager and better players would get more out of him and for £600k it's worth a punt.

    £12-£15m imo

    I personally don't think they're worth anything like that but the way the market is just now players are going for funny money

    I absolutely agree. Let's stop underselling our players and get as much as possible for them, every cunt else does it to us.

    Who was Halliday actually shouting at? Looked like he called him a "fucking bawbag"

    Its says in the record Halliday shouted at a fan who was then ejected.

    Looks to me like he's shouting at our players. :lol:

  10. A complete prick and not what we are looking for. It says it all that West Brom are pretty much nailed on to go down and they've papped him BEFORE the end of the season so they can get someone else before pre-season in to bring them back up.

    Once the Cummings deal is confirmed I think we are going to be quite dangerous and unpredictable (in a good sense of the word) going forward.

    With Morelos, Windass, Cummings, Murphy & Candeias at the club there’s a really good mix of options there both in terms of the style of player there and the way they lend themselves to different formations.

    I’d question the decision to go after Jones (i’d rather have a big man to come off the bench and mix it up - Herrera doesn’t count) but if we add him into the mix too it’s another option.

    I think we have the potential to be a really entertaining side in the second half of the season.

    I don't think Jones is that good a player and agree that we should be looking at a Target Man type striker because Herrera is about as much of an aerial threat as Jason Holt is.

    Gonna try and get back into FM10, probably my favourite one. New ones are so complicated it's silly, i packed it in when you had to do stuff with agents when trying to sign people, fuck that.

    I am the same mate, they have kicked the arse out of it now.

    Was considering getting it as well but we must be a cunt of a team to manage on it and I'd rather not leather my new laptop off the wall in frustrating because some cunt with 3 Finishing has scored a hat-trick against me.
