    It’s easy to say we should have signed this, that and the next player after the fact but the reality is that when we were linked to Nisbet when he was at Dunfermline the reaction to it wasn’t exactly positive was it?

    It is easy to say it in hindsight but in all fairness these guys need to play week in week out to develop, we’d only have punted them out on loan.

  2. Let’s see what the grand virtue signalling uefa say about it all. Not holding my breath, it’s far easier to just say words than back it up with actions, utterly cowardly and as bad as the people committing acts of racism.

    there is a proven track record of these clubs and countries continued racist behaviour and still they take part in elite competitions at a national and club level. You want to make it stop you need to punish them properly i.e. expulsion

  3. Formation really needs freshening up. Last year we played the same sort of way but our passing was one touch, fast and crisp.this season our players just don’t look like making a 5 yard pass.

    Might be time to try wingers again rather than inverted wingers/wide 10s or whatever you want to call it. Start trying to hit the byeline and get midfielders making late runs into the box.

    Just need an alternative as we are starting to look like the team under warburton once teams figured us out with lots of pointless slow side to side passing, we aren’t seeing nice reverse one touch passes, one twos around the box, it’s just so off from last year it’s hard to believe it’s largely the same squad.

    What is the actual rule?

    8 players need to be classed as homegrown which means they have to have trained at a Scottish club for at least 3 years between the ages of 15 and 21, of those 8 at least 4 need to be trained by the club i.e. youth players like Patterson, mccrorie, Kelly etc.

    Essentially you need to have 8 Scottish players (or players who started out in Scotland) in the European squad and 4 of them need to be your youth players. That means that 17 spaces are available for players who don’t meet the criteria.

    So if Gerrard wanted Simpson in he might have had to leave someone like Bacuna out as neither are homegrown. If we had signed a Scottish centre back they could have been one of the 8 (still need 4 youths or players that were youths but could now be first team regulars such as mcgregor) but it would at least mean the other 17 weren’t hampered.

    I think the manager has made a rip roaring cunt of the center back position this season, I just don't get it at all, he seems absolutely fine with the issue, it's baffling me.

    The big fuck up is with the homegrown players quota and the fact we have to register Jack when he’s not fit because he’s one of the required homegrown players. Say we had went for John Souttar, as an example, we’d have someone that would contribute to that quota so he could have been included at no additional expense of attacking players.

    So disappointed in Wright. Looks great every game then Kent goes down with an injury and he doesn't take the opportunity.

    The one thing is he isn’t hiding. The shot he had that he scuffed wide was because the last touch was a bit heavy and the closing player got too close for him to keep the ball so he rushed the shot.

    ‘However before that he got the ball, turned lifted his head and ran. It’s the one thing teams like livi aren’t comfortable with. They can handle passing in front of their 2 banks of 5 or crosses thrown into the box but run at them and they struggle.

  7. We’re second to every loose ball, no one looks like they want it. No urgency, no desire or fight it just seems the players expect to win because we won the league last year.

    Patterson is our best bet of a goal, he’s drawing players to him which will create space for others if we can just cut out the extra touch when moving the ball from one side to the other. One touch passing is missing here and the extra touch gives livi the chance to get right in our face.

  8. Ecstatic with this news, can let him knuckle down and get his form back and if we get big offers I think we have to let Glenn decide, he’s showing loyalty here and we should give him the respect if offers do come in.

    Goldson should follow suit for sure, he wears the armband in Tavs absence so he should show some loyalty to the club as we’ve restarted his career, signing a deal doesn’t mean you can get a move it just means you show some commitment and we don’t lose a good player for nothing.

    Absolutely. It was a very predictable signing to try and keep them happy. Pathetic

    Surprised they went for hart rather than trying to get shay given out of retirement and sign for them.
