Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I’d rather aspire to having internationalists in our team making these friendlies unnecessary Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimoo 1,474 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think Windarse was getting his nails done that weekend and Kenny was getting his missus to top up the fake tan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So since we've had practically no euro football for 5 years except this seasons disaster and Leipzig would it not benefit the players to get to play against different styles across europe. oh no our players need more r+r any proposed euro friendly may interrupt murty's midweek day off regime Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneva_ger 9,331 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 We'd end up playing 8 games in 8 weeks and we can't be having that. End up with a back page spread in the papers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 11,814 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Because they wouldn't be able to have a day off midweek to go to the hairdressers/tanning salon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Aren’t we doing this in January or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman36 3,455 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Another good reason is we're skint and it would probably cost us money to be involved in the organisation of such a thing. If it was a clear cut multi million pound profit generator everyone would be doing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa6995 3,645 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Because we are not good enough and dont need further embarrassment. We dont know how to play against Mothewell or Hamilton never mind some crack European outfit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulboy 2,518 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Well everyone better get used to a another progres then. If we don't apply ourselves in these situations then we have no chance against even minnows of european football Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 These friendlies should be used along with keeping the fitness ticking over, playing against better opposition to test ourselves, but also to try new players, new formations and ideas. Without a new manager that would be pointless. That has to our priority right now, securing the new man at the helm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basrah Bear 2,981 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 On 21/11/2017 at 18:55, K.A.I said: We've zero ambition, that's why. It's something we should 100% be doing. The youth set-up had the vision and foresight to do it. We could do it international weekends, even the odd midweek when the rest are playing European football. Not loads of games to bombard the players and tire them, but maybe 2 or 3 fixtures against decent opposition which would benefit us. According to a Rangers official recently there's loads of teams looking for a game of football against us (this was in relation to Benfica game in Canada getting cancelled and us looking for another fixture ... to which we chose Morton at Murray Park which sums the club up to a tee) correct mate, this would mean the difference between paying for first class air tickets for the team or a day return ticket on a Mcgills bus to Greenock.

Young Bob 1,360 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 On 21/11/2017 at 23:26, Terry Hurlock Loyal said: We have some ridiculous friendly tournament in January, against Brazilian opposition. Total waste of time, barring a decent holiday for fans -but of zero use and risking fatigue and injuries for the season after the break. I doubt we need more needless games. I always felt we were gash after winter breaks. January tends to have decent weather now so its pointless having a break in Scotland then.

Cedrick 8,048 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 These games are a waste of time and never a true reflection, we drew 1v1 with Marseille in pre season ,they’d take 5 or 6 at least off us in a competitive game Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
