  1. Castore limited edition qualifiers blue raincoat.
  2. Whats the chances of getting 2 of these via general sale? On the CCCS but was thinking of trying to take the Mrs and then giving my season ticket to my brother.
  3. Came here to read some positive Lawrence comments, now I'm imagining peak R9, Maldini, Thuram, Desailly and Zidane all on their arse struggling to match the modern physicality and athleticism of Graeme Shinnie and Johnny Hayes.
  4. Got one, which is almost a first (bronze). How many subsequent games does it rule you out for?
  5. New players still to settle in, looking ragged and massively underperforming in a Euro qualifier. A depressingly familiar story.
  6. Kent gets pelters for his assists and goals, which need improved, but we really miss his pressing and tracking back. They have played through our press so easily.
  7. Bringing back CL memories from Advocaat era with mention of both PSV and Monaco. Gio played in team that beat Van Nistelrooys PSV home and away I'm sure, and scored a belter away at Monaco.
  8. Gio's tactics of keep it tight away and go more attacking for the second leg at home worked well last year so dont think he'll change approach for this. Expect he'll pack midfield defensively with Jack, Kamara and Lundstram Colak will be target man Then its 2 from Matondo, Tillman, Lawrence, Wright.
  9. Thats a stretch of an assessment based on the limited games we've seen so far. OFf top of my head he had a chance to shoot from memory and passed instead and also tried a flick that might not have been necessary. I think he'll settle down a bit as he gets more minutes and really show his quality
  10. Has a brilliant mix of physical and technical attributes. Like all young players he'll improve his decision making as he gets experience. Incredibly positive that we managed to get an option to buy
  11. agree 100%. Drove us on and there was a late touch he pulled out the sky that was absolute quality.
  12. Said this before but it doesnt always work just bringing on lots of attacking players when you need a goal, can end up creating a mess and giving up possession/territory. Arfields runs from deep were much better than sitting midfielders and Souttar was a bombscare so needed to come off.
  13. Wouldn't be too harsh on Colak, he's unlucky not to have scored a great goal. Shite pitch to make your debut, dont think he'll be prolific but will lead the line well and score some important goals. A solid substitute for Morelos given the money we paid. Really encouraged by Sands looking comfortable as Souttar looks like a fish out of water. Sands must start on Tuesday. Also have Matondo to come in who will make a big difference
  14. Don't know much about them but feels like a tricky one. Fingers crossed we get linked with one of their players so someone on here can pipe in with how they've watched their games regularly and give us the lowdown.
  15. Can't believe the Colak comments already ffs. Short memories. Last season many of us, myself included, wrote off Lundstram as garbage pretty early on in the season. Fast forward to end of season and he's almost our most important player, bossing the Old Firm and firing us into a European final. You'd think we'd have learned our lesson, Jesus wept. Give them all time.
  16. If he can work with Borna and get him to actually believe in his own ability that might be a good first step.
  17. He's on far too much money to be as unreliable as this. Actually wait he is reliable: reliably unavailable. We need to try get someone else in and get him out the door, even if its just his wages off the books. Lack of goals will cost us and thats big wages that cld be given to a fit striker.
  18. Take some solace in the fact that literally no cunts memory (even our enemies) of Andy Goram will in any way shape or form be influenced by a Graham Spiers article. He gets more irrelevant with every passing year.
  19. Its frustrating. I see a lot of good at the club in terms of improving players, coaching and fitness and tactics. Yet when it comes to actually signing or replacing players in our squad we seem to be constantly making short-term, opportunistic decisions.
  20. To be fair when you looked at our fitness levels at end of last season given the schedule it must be a combination of our backroom staff and the attitude of the players we sign/bring through. On the fitness front, we seem as good as we've ever been.
  21. Gutted. Another hero of my childhood away. RIP Goalie. Thanks for the best memories.
