  1. he's a great player when fit. put the ball in his court and see if he backs himself by offering him 2 options: sign a pay as you play one year deal or sign elsewhere.
  2. There is a big difference between reading something and comprehending it.
  3. Fucked out, knocked out. Same difference. Its just a turn of phrase. Never once said the players shouldn't be proud of their efforts. We did however hand Benfica 2 goals on a plate. In that regards, we fucked it. Hence my use of 'fucked out of the competition'.
  4. Aye, competing every single season domestically. Rangers and celtic fight for trophies every single season. Does that make both European giants (which is what the OP claimed Benfica are)? Nope it does not. We've both won European trophies but, at best, we could be described as FORMER European giants. Benfica last won a European trophy 62 years ago. Since the turn of the century have they reached 2 Europa League finals. So have Rangers. So, how am i a 'fucking crank' by saying FORMER? And since you 'cant be fucked' replying to explain how i'm 'pathetic' and 'tragic' I'll assume you agree that 1. The 'best' outcome is not to get fucked out a competition (or 'knocked out' if 'fucked out' is too strong a phrase for your liking), and 2. We gifted Benfica their goals.
  5. So does the bottom half the EPL. Doesn’t make any of them European giants. Would you class Forest as Euro giants or FORMER Euro giants? I also notice you never responded to the other parts of my reply so I’ll ask again. Was getting knocked out the ‘best outcome’ and did we gift them their goals?
  6. Read the fucking post. It’s not a dig at the team. It’s a dig at the OP. And referring to Benfica as a former giant doesn’t ignore the fact they have spent 100 million on a squad. So have the entire bottom half of the EPL. Spending money doesn’t make them European giants. Winning European trophies does. Would you consider Nottingham Forest a European giant if we faced them In the EL? Rather than calling people bell ends and questioning their support perhaps you should refrain from fan boy reactions and consider the context comments are actually made.
  7. Wind yer fucking neck in. Explain how it’s pathetic’ and ‘tragic’ and a dig at the team? It’s a statement of fact and, if you actually bother to consider the context of the post, is a response to the OP saying us getting knocked out was the ‘best outcome’. The ‘best’ outcome was not getting knocked out the competition. AND we had a major hand in all 3 of their goals. Unless of course you believe the best outcome was getting knocked out and that we didn’t gift them goals.
  8. This I also think the Benfica players blindsided us by NOT diving, play acting, trying to get players booked and time wasting. In the main, they played the game in the correct spirit which was the polar opposite of the away leg where they dived like fuck and looked to pressure the ref at every turn. A combination of their tactics and unexpected game management left us unsure how best to handle things and caught us off guard which is ultimately down to the quality of squad. Better players can adapt at the higher level. We simply struggled all evening.
  9. We can point to suicidal defending, injuries, nativity and quality of the opposition for losing that game last night but ultimately the game hinged on poor referring in the first leg. It was never a penalty and that decision driven by VAR officials is galling. It would be easier to accept the call had it been made in real time and without the aid of multiple slow mo replays but it so obviously came off Souttar head before striking his arm. Credit where it’s due tho, I thought the ref last night was fantastic. Refreshing to see a referee who let the game flow.
  10. The ‘best’ outcome would have been not getting fucked out of Europe by a (former) giant having gifted them two of their three goals that knocked us out.
  11. Seems to create/find space then fucks up the final ball most of the time
  12. Some of his movement off the ball last night was exceptional, especially late on in the 2nd half.
