That was my 1st thought as well but McCurry was adamant that it was well known who's faking it and who's not, he was also talking about goalkeepers fucking around at goal kicks and the time it takes teams to take a free kick, throw ins etc, the main crux of the matter though was that the governing bodies are not all that bothered about teams time wasting and don't seem interested in giving support to the refs in this matter,

I watched the "battle fever" podcast a couple of weeks ago after the Motherwell game when they had Mike McCurry the ex ref on, it was interesting listening to his comments re: time wasting, he was saying that the referees association went to the SFA bigwigs a number of years ago and said that they could stop the increasing trend in time wasting by yellow carding those who persist in it right away thus nipping it in the bud, when asked by the podders "how can you tell the difference between those faking an injury and a genuine injury" his reply was " we [the refs] all know who is faking it and who's not', when the refs asked for support the SFA refused to back them, it was an eye opener for me.

Mate, this is getting really boring now, we get it, time to move on don't you think?

I'm not sure if we've had the same 11 two games on the bounce even from last season, it was more or less a consistent 7-8 when all were available, this season has been a shitshow so far, Gerrard must be pulling his hair out although TBF he has to accept part of the blame for some of his team choices.

Treat this game like we would an OF and we'll be fine.

Here's an idea, why don't we take the shackles off Morelos and let him get back to what he does best, ie: ragdoll CH's and just go for it.

Thank fuck you never made a video.

How long do you think it'll take for wee nippy to start issuing yellow stars

This is directed at @mitre_mouldmaster not trying to be funny but just as a matter of interest, are insects classed as animals?

Aye but remember they're playing against them.

See when people say this I have to wonder, why would I offer my hand over to be bitten off ?

When Roofe tried that shot from the halfway line I thought to myself "well at least he tried a shot from outside the box"

Cheers mate

what's the lineup?

The reason I stopped watching them.

Said that to my son last night, still concerning.

Mate do what I do and take whatever Gerrard says re team selection with a pinch of salt, he constantly contradicts himself.

Delighted

I honestly don't think champions league will be his priority, 6 games in the CL [unlikely to be any more]versus a 3yr contract at possibly treble his wages at his age would be very unlikely for him to turn down.

I understand what you say mate but TBH I'm not going to blame him or Kamara, they are professionals and have to look after their own interests as it's a short career, if you or I had been offered 3-4 times our wages elsewhere then I know for certain I would take it without thinking, I do think it's a bit shitty not helping the club out by extending their contracts but that's the way it is with agents whispering in their ears and there's nothing we can do about it.

Just checked, my mistake his contract expires 2023, I could have sworn he was contracted till 2024, so I guess it's the same scenario as Goldson.

None of us are privy to what's going on behind the scenes but surely we must have been trying to move them on in the window when it was obvious that they weren't going to sign extensions to their existing contracts, more so Goldson as Kamara's contract doesn't run out until 2024 IIRC, having said that if no one has come even close to our evaluations then what option does the club have? Right now Goldson has us over a barrel with our present CB situation and I imagine that he'll run down his present contract and hope his agent will get him his big payday move back down south, it's a risky strategy but he holds all the cards ATM, Kamara's situation is slightly different as we will still have the opportunity to move him on either in January or next summer.

He's fuckin' worse than that.

Badly at fault at the goal [shat it] but what about the chance that cunt Watt had early doors, and that's not counting how many times he gets brushed off the ball, this boy's done some job convincing people that he's a footballer, must have some library of incriminating photographs.

Lots of emotions will be going through my head when I see that flag raised tomorrow [my time].
