  1. He alluded to the players taking the supporters for granted. Wonder who that’s referring to.
  2. You may believe that. But that complacency is what turned Glasgow green and white. That complacency is why we get treated differently. It’s why We have an anti-British media here in Scotland and it’s why, the subject of this thread, the Scottish Police are policing us differently from everyone else.

    Tav

    I admire your tenacity. I gave up ages ago. I think Tav is a good player for us and I think he will be here next season. Others think differently. C’est la vie Only time will tell if the new manager fancies him or not. But I am convinced he will be our starting RB next season.
  4. Glasgow voted yes. As did Dundee. And the Internet May have been around for 30 years but social media has not. Nor had it been weaponised until the last few years. I don’t know what you are reading or seeing or hearing but I know many good people that are being turned by the constant narrative now. Britain is bad. Britain is racist. Britain is greedy. The Internet is polarising opinions and creating echo chambers that grow and change whole countries as evidenced by Cambridge Analytica and Facebook etc. PUL culture is unquestionable being demonised
  5. What concerns me most is that the war is over. We have lost already. There may still be some battles but we have already lost the big picture. And I don’t just mean the football. The republic of Scotland looks like it’s coming, they have gained the high ground on social media as well as mainstream media. i am hearing plenty of neutrals with no ties to Ireland or Catholicism who now consider the Union flag to be representative of bigotry and oppression. Who consider that to be Unionist is equivalent to being Tory which is equivalent to being evil . The silent majority have allowed us to sleepwalk into this. Dignified silence is without doubt the most outdated and ridiculous strategy in this age of propaganda and sensationalist fake news. It might have made sense in the old days of broadsheet journalism but in an age of instantaneous cacophony of information we need to be making our voices heard. Whether on a football level, a professional level or a political level. Keeping a stiff upper lip, vowing to work harder and being resolute and thinking everything will work out is pure fantasy
  6. All the anger and disillusionment that people feel towards a variety of the players or even all the players. I reserve that just for Josh Windass. I feel like he embodies everything wrong with our team. Absolute prima Donna with the heart of a mouse and the pride of a Mhank. For him to be gloating today about being top scorer sums him up perfectly. Fucking priveledged no Mark who behaves like a spoilt wean most of the time. If there is only one player we sell in he transfer window I hope it’s him
  7. Beaton, McLean, Dallas, fuck sake even Collum looks good compared to these guys and he is fucking shocking. The refs are absolutely pish. But they are also biased. And the main reason they are biased is that they get absolute pelters from every other club and put under massive pressure to treat us differently. We need to get more street wise
  8. Tell you what I will sign up to club1872 if they commit to challenging the refereeing double standards.
  9. So many ifs and buts for this season. If we hadn’t let Wilson go. If we had played Rossiter sooner if we had played Alves instead of Martin. Or anyone instead of Martin. If refs hadn’t got so many decisions wrong if morelos hadn’t missed so many sitters. If we hadn’t drawn games we should have won. Or lost games we should have drawn. But When you have a team of winners, these “ifs” don’t matter, a team of winners led by a winner don’t need those ifs our season ended the day we lost 3-2 at Ibrox to ten men of the scum after being 2-1 up. That was the day the tiny bit of belief our team had drained out of them
  10. Our record at Ibrox is a direct indication of the problem. The team lacks courage and gets nervous in front of the big crowd of high expectation fans. Caixinha knew the lack of bottle but didn’t know enough about management to address it. Murty typified the loser mentality. Gerrard needs to fix the courage and big match mentality. The no surrender attitude and the never say die spirit coupled with being able to play a bit it can be done
  11. I always remember that he was the one that had the balls to come out after the progres game and talk to the media while all our other "captains" hid. He speaks well (content wise, horrible accent) and he knows what is expected. I think if he can stay fit next season he is an obvious candidate for captain
  12. Gerrard is the last desperate throw of the dice of a desperately inadequate board. If it works they are heroes and visionaries. If it doesn’t they simply have to walk.
  13. Gerrard May make him captain so he can translate his instructions to the team. That Scouse accent can be tough and Rossiter has had a year to learn the local lingo
  14. Felt like a gesture for Hodson more than a logical substitution. Perhaps a bit of sentiment for a Northern Ireland international who knows but Docherty was the correct sub and for some reason he is miles out of favour. Another one who is going to have an uneasy summer
  15. I Everyone being staunch as fuck saying that we only have ourselves to blame. It’s way beyond That. Would we have won up at Pitoddrie if they hadn’t been given an absolute joke of a penalty after 10 minutes? would we have won today if the ref had given a stonewall penalty for handball or if Allen was given the just red card for his assault on Rossiter? How many points have “bad” refereeing decisions directly cost us this season.
  16. Natural leader as well. Driving his team mates forward. Telling them to keep the head. Even when going off he was only interested in the team keeping it going. Fingers crossed it’s just cramp and he can join his hero in preseason
  17. How the fuck he has continued to start is beyond me. Absolutely obvious from his first few games that he was a complete liability why the fuck was he not dropped?
  18. Well apart from the huge amount of sitters we missed. The final ball in last third sacking two managers absolutely shambolic refereeing against us players being suspended so doesn’t quite sum it up
  19. But it wasn’t even the worst this season. It wasn’t even the worst against Hibs this season. We have been fucking mugged by refs this season to a degree that it can’t be anything other than institutional
  20. There is no way anyone can say that we had balanced treatment today. I am the biggest advocate of performing well enough that the ref is irrelevant but when the decisions are so bad, so multitude and so one sided there is little can be done. Of course we were shite, we were 3-0 down in 20 minutes. Everyone says don’t let the referee detract from how shite we are. But just because we are shite should not detract from the biased performance of the referee.

    Tav

    No blinkers from me. I acknowledge that he is not the best defensively but he is not the worst and he played well today by comparison. Lets see what the new gaffer thinks of him
  22. There are plenty of spineless cowards in the squad. But I have said all along that there is some ability in there too. Thought they fought back well today but some of them just don’t have what it takes and that’s what will be sorted out by Gerrard. We can play some great stuff at times but other times we are like a pub team. Windass, Goss, and Martin don’t have any spine. Holt, Bates and Halliday don’t have the ability the rest don’t have enough ability to compensate for those deficiencies but in a better team I think Tav, Murphy, Cummins and Candeias will all be better performers alnwick is better than Fod

    Tav

    I will go into the Dallas thread. I like Tav. Maybe not the best defensively but good going forward and not sure we will find someone better. Shouldn’t be captain but I won’t mind if he is here next year. Enjoy

    Tav

    How about talking about the many other imposters rather than dwelling on the one guy that actually contributed. How about holt? How about goss? What about Martin. What even about Murphy? Tav could be arguably our best player today.
