Sadiq

[KingKirk 25,642]

Credit to the gaffer. He's one of his signings and usually they shoehorn the players they've signed into the the team regardless of training performance.

Good to see him come out and say he's no good enough

Refreshing stuff

Around half seven he was trying to drive into the ground at the Broomloan Road entrance, in some kind of hummer. Arguing with the Police who wouldn't let him through. Then I saw KAI. Strange night.

I seen you looking at KAI. Whats with the turban?

Dunno mate, I just assumed it was a disguise because he's officially banned from Ibrox. No mistaking that wee sweaty red face though. 

[BlueThunder 8,453]

There was talk about Sadiq keeping himself to himself when he joined. I guess he isn’t doing enough to force his way in during training despite this.

Ach well, pretty good hit rate on players otherwise.

[Lloyd 10,756]

Should have signed Cummings

Having a manager who realises one of his signings is not good enough and therefore doesn't play him is refreshing after what we've been through. A bit like the Souness era. A player doesn't fit he gets shipped out asap.

We've signed some horrendous players in recent years, but because everyone except the manager seemed to know they were duds, they kept getting picked to play. Glad to see these days are gone.

Agreed. I think this player will be sold on come January transfer window. I hope the club can make some sort of profit from his sale.

Halliday reacted far worse than Morelos did when he got caught and the ref never booked him for shouting at him. Joke of a yellow tbh, from another shocking ref.

 

But no one has any idea what either player actually said, Morelos has a bad rep - that's all his own doing - if he's now on the refs radar he should not be reacting at all.

It is indefensible, Morelos had and still has only himself to blame.

The red probably doesn't even know what Morelos said unless he speaks Colombian. Joke decision.

Or Hardie.

Baffling we signed him for the year but loaned him out without sufficient striking options being in place.

Unless Bobby Madden can speak Spanish, then he's sending him off based on his reactions, and to me, Halliday reacted far worse. 

I'm not defending Morelos, but his so called reputation has been built up so much in the media that he doesn't stand a chance. Tonight was another example of that imo.

Booking him.

He seemed to call Halliday over as captain to get him to mediate or something when he was initially talking to Morelos. No yellow at that point. Morelos then gave another shrug and shake of head which he got booked for. 

It's ridiculous refereeing, too many pedantic headmaster like performances where they act like they're disciplining kids. 

Nowhere does it say that players need to accept decisions and walk away reactionless. They're not allowed to be aggressive, swear, approach ref and challenge decision etc, and it doesn't seem like he has done any of those.

He gets booked because he's Morelos whilst far worse goes unpunished.

My point is none of us know what was said... but some are assuming it was nothing worth being sent off for. Some are even assuming it must be in a language the ref didn't understand.

If that's the type of delusion people want to implant to make Morelos out to be the good guy then fair enough.

I rather deal with facts;

1 We do not know what was said

2 Morelos has given himself a bad reputation

3 When a player has a bad reputation referees often are more aware of those players

4 Morelos has no one to blame but himself for the bad reputation

5 Morelos should not be reacting at all

6 Morelos has been told time and time again and he's still reacting - so he's not very smart

Most of what you've said above is opinion based not fact. Though much I do agree with.

You're effectively saying refs are conscious of an individual player's reputation which may pre meditate their decision to treat and discipline him differently from others. I agree, and that's wrong.

Refs are there to impose rules impartially, that's not happening. Parity for all you could say ?. And whilst you're right that the only way for Morelos not to get booked is for him to be emotionless, again it's wrong when others don't get treated similarly and get away with obvious dissent type conduct.

He DOES have to learn to walk away, but only because he is being persecuted as an individual more than any other player I know of in scotland and he suffers as does the club due to sending a off/suspensions not because he's fully in the wrong. And I think that's worth focussing on much more than on him.

Exactly, so the booking must be for his reactions. So why not book Halliday? 

2 Morelos has given himself a bad reputation

I agree, to an extent. But i don't think it's anywhere close to being as bad as made out, and he certainly shouldn't be getting bookings based on reputation.

3 When a player has a bad reputation referees often are more aware of those players

If refs are going into games with a pre judged view on players, then the games fucked tbh. 

4 Morelos has no one to blame but himself for the bad reputation

Again, i agree, but the media focus on him is ridiculous, when other players do far worse but nothing is said.

5 Morelos should not be reacting at all

The same could be said for every other player tbh. 99.9% don't get booked for it.

6 Morelos has been told time and time again and he's still reacting - so he's not very smart

He gets frustrated, hopefully with age and experience that will go. I wouldn't want him changing completely, his aggression is a huge part of his game.

I don't think Roma would be very happy if we made a profit from the sale of their player!! They might thank us for selling him right enough!! ?
