  1. I think he's played well when he's been given playing time. At the start of the season he had niggling injuries but was still involved in goals. The hacks in Scotland have decided that he can't handle the physicality etc though and are pushing the narrative he's struggling, just like they're trying to push that Itten is low on confidence. Absolute nonsense.
  2. Anyone who thinks Gerrard is having a go at Kent over his current form is just looking for something to moan about.
  3. I can understand that, but without Hagi being there it doesn't fall to Itten and there's no goal. For me it's either Hagi's assist or just Itten's unassisted goal. I think it goes to show that sometimes stats don't tell the whole story, as it's one where both Tav and Hagi essentially set up Itten, but only one can get the official assist. As an aside, with Itten thanking him, I wonder if that's something they work on in training. I must admit I don't think it was accidental from Hagi; didn't just deflect off him without him knowing. He's an intelligent player so if he's able to be an asset like this in set pieces then it's yet another thing he can add to the team.
  4. Does Hagi not get credited with the assist for Itten's second? He knocked the ball down for Itten from Tav's corner, using his back albeit.
  5. Sorry I missed this - haven't logged on in a few weeks. Certainly wasn't intentionally withholding a donation.
  6. I get what you mean. There was a period earlier this season where Kent didn't have many assists or goals in most official stats, but he was winning us free kicks that led to goals or sparked off a movement that led to a goal, or dragged a defender out of position.
  7. I was only kidding. Wouldn't quibble with anything in the thread - it's something I check often before or after a game to keep an eye on these. Glad you're keeping up the good work next season.
  8. Defoe should get half the assist for that second goal for conning the celtic defence and letting the ball go through his legs.
  9. Technically he's not a signing from Canada; he's from Scotland, and we signed him from a team England... But aye. Fraser Aird looked a half decent played before Warburton decided to change him into a right back, and Cammy Palmer has potential. Having the Canadian national captain in our ranks just now will hopefully help us if we do try to look for good young players in that market.
  10. I do too, but in fairness Arsenal turned down the chance to bring him home. He wanted to return to England and after Arsenal passed his options were Chelsea or Man United. Turns out banking on Wilshire never really panned out either.
  11. Those clubs already rely on the fans of Rangers and celtic to subsidise them; without our traveling support and the TV revenue - and Sky, BT Sports etc wouldn't give a fuck about the league without us - so it should already be an entry requirement for top flight football. Our fans should stop attending away matches involving any club using a plastic pitch.
  12. They weren't really set up to defend all the time last season, and he usually looked good. Different level, granted, but people were sceptical about Marvin Andrews for similar reasons and he worked out. Allen and his scouting team have a good record so far, so if we do bring the lad back then they'll have seen enough to think he can do a job for us. Not dismissing your point though, as that is one of the difficulties faced when recruiting players from 'smaller teams' - it's why having a decent scouting team is so important.
  13. Only in Scotland, even though "fenian" isn't religious. "Orange bastard," on the other hand, is fine - even though it actually is about religion.
  14. Orange for the away dugout, with a nice wee sash on them...
  15. That's pretty standard. It's rare for brands to own their own factories for manufacturing sportswear.
  16. I'd discount those games as he was pretty poor home and away. Seems like the management team sussed after that tie that Morelos is the sort who needs positive reinforcement; arm around the shoulder and encouragement. In between that tie and Osijek there were a few photos of Stevie G and McAllister laughing about with him in training, and since then celtic and Livingston were his only poor games. (Well, besides Aberdeen and Ufa away, but for different reasons...)
  17. He's been good any time I've watched him, though admittedly I've only seen highlights other than when we played them. But considering McAuley's age and Worrall being a loanee, bringing Halkett back as an option now he's had regular first team football wouldn't be a bad idea - especially if he continues to play well.
  18. I'd have more respect if he was just honest and admitted his relationship with McCoist wasn't good and he'd been planning on leaving that summer any way, and not transferring over gave him more freedom in that respect. I still wouldn't like it, but I'd rather he was honest than pretend it was for his child's benefit. John Fleck recently said he didn't transfer over as he wasn't playing much, and the way things were he had no way of knowing if he'd be in Ally's plans, so did what was best for him. Do I like it? No, but I understand it.
  19. I booed him and it's not a stone cold fact I'd be cheering him - I'd still be calling him a Judas rat bastard.
  20. Ticket office seemed to automatically add my dad and sister to my friends & family. My sister's season ticket was originally in my name - my dad got the tickets in '99 when I was 11, but it's been hers since 2004 - and my ticket is registered at the same address as theirs are, so could be due to either. Didn't know until I tried to add them to my friends & family a few days ago.
  21. I do wonder how much longer Spence, English etc can get away with that sort of nonsense now that the BBC in Manchester are paying attention. Neil Cameron has been going down the pro-Corbyn, rant about Trump line with his twitter, but he's not employed by the BBC, so fair enough; BBC employees shouldn't really be passing comment on politics or religion unless that's the area they're employed to report on - and even then, it should be neutral.
  22. If you can't handle abuse on social media - especially as someone in the public eye - then you should probably avoid it, and avoid trying to wind up a large section of your employers' target demographic. Even morons like Sutton and Hartson, who seem to block most who dare criticise them, don't try to play the "they're all just bigots" card, yet absolute messes like Spence, Delahunt and Collymore do.
