Can’t believe Sky are prattling on about fucking Newcastle instead of updating on a match due to start in 90 minutes.

Rangers players can get injuries that put them out for six months on a bowling green. A pitch like Dens and we’ll only have goalkeepers left.

No idea about either band's allegiances, I just know they're both shite.

Dundee's groundstaff all out in the early hours...
 

Would be great to bank the three points but that pitch has “Rangers injury” written all over it not to mention the fact that players like Silva and Cantwell will be even more at the mercy of agricultural tackling.
Plenty of midweeks to clear it, best if it’s off.

Loved playing on a pitch like that but fuck risking the last few remaining fit players plodding through the Somme.

All hospital equipment in great demand and under pressure then some fanny books it for 24 hours all to himself.

 
(ps - all the best, mate 👍)

Need to two or three gathered round Goodson at a corner and then lift him into the air like those rugger chaps with the mis-shapen balls.
Only way we’ll win a ball at a corner.

Coventry response, word perfect 

He is, he actually can head and shoot properly. 😁

If we said to Coventry, we’ll give you Dessers and you give us Simms, they’d tell us to fuck off. 🤣

If Simms isn’t good enough for us then WTF does that say about Dessers?

That guy Simms has been great this season in the cup games I’ve seen.
He was no great shakes at Hearts but is ten times the player that Dessers is and Coventry probably picked him up on a free.

We more than likely go through the other night if he’s playing instead of dessers

He was still an Everton player although he only played 12 games for them.Loaned out to Hearts, Blackpool and Sunderland then Coventry bought for ‘an undisclosed fee’
He's still only 23.
Still, at least we’ve got Dessers, eh?
😡

And that’s why sensible people don’t go near (anti)-social media.

Have heard that defence of him before and I accept that certain players get injured more than others but we are talking about a succession of injuries, one after another, a run longer than many players’ careers.
I think about guys like Butcher, Brown, big Marvin playing through knock after knock, giving (literally) blood, sweat and tears for the jersey and playing through the pain barrier.
John Souttar has ruptured both Achilles, one of them twice but his attitude has always been about getting back on the pitch as soon as he can. The contrast between him and Roofe is stark.
Now I don’t know the minutiae of every Roofe injury, partly because there’s so fucking many and partly because I get angry thinking about guys like Jordan White, less talented than Roofe so plies his trade at Ross County. Jordan is a diehard Bluenose and would walk from Dingwall for the chances that Roofe has had.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that Roofe has been unable to do the job he’s well paid for (for only a third of the time) because of injury for over a decade.
A couple of big blows, like Souttar, can happen but we’re talking months on end for injuries far, far less serious than ruptured Achilles.
Be so glad to see the back of him.

An expensive gamble that ultimately hasn't paid off. He's had some real highs, some exceptional goals and made a big contribution to 55 because he's a very talented player. 
But for what he has cost us in transfer fee and wages it's been a bad signing overall. And hopefully the we put a stop to signings like this in the future because they rarely work out for us.
