siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Reminiscent of thirty years ago, when we had a fleeting glimpse of what should have been a major part of our midfield for years in Durrant and Derek Ferguson,Yep if not for the hammer throwing thugs that play the game in Scotland. People wonder why Scotland is a football backwater. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,057 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Yep if not for the hammer throwing thugs that play the game in Scotland. People wonder why Scotland is a football backwater.Neil Simpson robbed Scotland of a world class player, the bigots within the game will never appreciate this, Scotland will always be a back water when when a large number of the support glorify in the mans agony !!!!!

Briton 394 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Just got up after the stamp as wellLove his attitude and looks to have good range of passing, weirdly reminded me of his namesake Kevin ThomsonHe looks like he's got some bite in his challenges as well, which is what caused that ned to perform his petulant stamp. I hope Thompson gets some more time on the field. Only seen snippets so far but he looks like a real prospect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMotor 2,208 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Reminiscent of thirty years ago, when we had a fleeting glimpse of what should have been a major part of our midfield for years in Durrant and Derek Ferguson,I remember watching Durrant and Ferguson at 18 years old bossing the bheasts midfield at the piggery in '85 and thought that was the future for us.Thompson is more reminiscent of the young Ferguson for me. I hope his career doesn't go the same way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WATBB 1,524 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Been very impressed with him in the u20's, as soon as he was signed to the Academy from Man United, Warburton bumped him into first team training. Obviously seen something.Didn't look out of place at all yesterday, gutted he didn't put that effort away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 What the fuck was that stamp on him for? Fucking moronic from the Alloa player, glad Thompson didn't react. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre 1,663 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He didn't look out of place, normally when youth players come into the first team you can tell they are youth players, but credit to the system and credit to Jordan himself, looks like he will be a class player very soon.The Man U youth system?

Skyson1872 2,923 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The Man U youth system?Nah ours, as all teams play the same way, probably why he never looked out of place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've saw him playing for the u20's a few times and he looks a playerJust need some more game time to see if anything will come of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 he needs to demand to get on the ball the way Zelalem does - he is always available, always looking to receive the ball and make a pass. It doesn't always work as last week when he came on against hibs showed, but Zelalems appetite to get on the ball is amazing. Young Mr Thompson needs to do that more and make the game revolve round him. Zelalem wont be here forever and i would love to see the potential Zelalem has reflected in Jordan as well.

Even Jordan seems more mature than his Rangers counterparts of the same age. Are youth players developed quicker in England? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have far more young players of ability than us even accounting for population. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
