ShanksRFC got a reaction from Laudrupsleftfoot in Dessers
Would've took the Greek boy the tarriers had couple seasons ago. Atlanta couldn't have paid that much for him.

That could have been said about Colak, Sakala, Morelos, even Itten (had he been given more of a chance).
Its the fee paid which is the issue for most on here, when it comes to assessing Dessers: it colours folk's judgment slightly. And Dessers wasn't in control of the transfer fee.
Doesn't really matter if he's seen as hopeless (i personally don't hold that view). If he's on course for scoring 19 goals and 12 assists in his debut season (1/5th of which would have been played under the Beale disaster) then that's a pretty good return and places him on a par with most of the non-hopeless strikers we've had over the years.
He's also mentally robust if he can play with a smile on his face/score whilst getting roasted off the fans most of the time, which is exactly the type of character we need in the dressing room as opposed to someone taking the huff or completely disappearing on the pitch. For all his faults, he gets back on the horse straight away every single time he falls off it.
Based on what i've seen of Silva so far, I'd rather have Dessers leading the line.
I dont think it helps that him and Lammers were brought in for decent money around the same in the same window for broadly the same fee. Both under performing at the start led to the 'they're both shite' narrative and, by association, when one played poorly they both got it in the neck on social media. ie 'Lammers was shite again, him and Dessers are pish' when Dessers has actually played well.
Anyway, just me thoughts on the matter.

Get thru St Mirren on Saturday then 5 of the next 7 league games are at home. A chance to put them under the kosh big style

ShanksRFC got a reaction from Dickie1963 in Golf
Professional golf is becoming a bit of a joke to be honest and I'm fast losing interest.
You can obviously see why Rahm has done it. 500 - 600m dollars to effectively work less and he will be fine for the majors as he won the Masters last year.

ShanksRFC got a reaction from BlueAvenger in Roofe
Roofe is massively overrated by some on here, apart from his goal last week what has he done this year? Scored at Dingwall but I honestly can't remeber anything else. His best days are miles behind him.
We are nearly half way through the season and I'd honestly doubt we see him in a Rangers top again.

European allocation for me. More than doable my ST is right on the cut off line and in any Euro tie I’ve not seen an opposition fan until I was in the stadium so citing safety concerns for that is utter nonsense.
The actual game itself is completely dead. If the away team make a decent start it’s almost silence, and if they score you can hear a pin drop, it isn’t what the game has been built on.

Think it’s fair to say they’re shiteing themselves Incase we win on the 30th and want to give themselves the best possible chance by not letting us in
Thats what I’ve taken from this

I thought Postecoglou would struggle down there but he hasn't tbh. Brenda looks to have been a downgrade rather than an upgrade they were spouting before he came back.

Agreed. Scottish football is shite enough.

I hope if/when this goes wrong tonight people remember why the situation was so grave for him and what he was left with before going on mental rants about how it’s no better than under Beale etc.

Morelos has been injured since October and the time frame was until mid January. By time he was fit the season would be by with.
He's not coming back ffs.

Morelos has been injured for months ffs yet you still get people wanting him back.
Stop romantisicing past players who helped contribute 2 trophies out of fuck noes how many. Mind boggling honestly.

But it’s guys like Colak, Morelos and Aribo that you regularly see people saying they want, or would have, back. It’s not really anything to do with people struggling to accept the current day situation because they were spoilt in their younger days. They want guys who played for us in periods where we are inconsistent as we are now back when we should be looking to move forward.
