Should we not use the same tricks the tarriers use?

Don’t agree that it corrupts competition. Mulumbu gad a good season last year and not been strong enough to dislodge a 1 legged brown. Bringing that Christie into it,we’ll he isn’t exactly brilliant is he?  They loaned that Scott Allan out to hibs and he did nothing,  yeah scored against us in the 5-5 game but when we defend the way we do at times we make it easy for opposing players.

i think the rule of not being able to play your parent club is good. Imagine mulumbu missing an open net against them in a final or league decider.  The uproar would be incredible

Christie, Allan and Mulumbu are/were arguably the best players at each of those clubs. Not having to play against them whist your rivals do is 100% an advantage.

The rule shouldn't be you play against all teams including your own. That's not enforceable and open to abuse. It should be you don't loan within your own league.

Can’t believe some are arguing that the taigs are doing nothing wrong, they know exactly what they are doing  

Not for a blanket ban but it should be limited to one loan player within the same league.

Who would you like us to loan back? 

Lafferty back to Hearts would be a good start.

Any club worth their salt should be all over this rule taking advantage of it. No brainer that we should be doing this as much as possible.

Quickest way to get the rule changed for sure.

Shite for our youths like hardie who won't get a chance at us and would then be denied the chance to prove themselves in our league too

There's a big, old English League out there. And a lots of big, old European ones. 

 

[TMB 14,167]

Clarke has his players overperforming.  Mulumbu looked like one of the best midfielders in the country last season but a shadow of that player when he moved away.  The same will probably be true of Greg Stewart.  I wouldn't be surprised if Jones came here and looked very average also.

So instead of sending Pena and Herrera back home where teams will contribution to their massive wages, you'd send them to teams in our league who wont? Madness.

Tbh it wouldn’t suprise me in the slightest if they were paying a fraction of their wages same as any other team would, (nobody knows) infact a Scottish team probs be more likely to take a chance on pena than a Mexican club now, after 2 failed loans, his record was better in Scotland than his 2 loans in mexico

[bluenoz 31,181]

Jones & Hardie to get in about them would be nice to see.

[Bearsden bear 2,376]

If we can beat their first team then we should be able to beat a diddy team with a few Tim rejects in tow.

Admittedly the whole loan system has spiralled out of control now. If you look at all the moves during the Jan. window, the vast majority were loans. Maybe it's time the authorities tightened up the rules around it.

We don't play there though , I want our players going and proving they can play in the spl , loan spells  in league 1 , 2 in England don't do that

Yeah they do. League 1 is, other than the tims, of a better standard than than the SPL. Much of League 2 probably is too. If you can play there you can play here. Although neither necesserily proves you can play for us, but that's another matter.

[Inigo 32,638]

Besides, whether it suits us is neither here nor there. It's quite obviously not consistent with fair competition. Lots of things might be good for us or whoever else, but the point is that a competition has to have a certain amount of integrity to be worthwhile. Beefing teams up when then they play everyone else but weakening them when they play the top team is obviously against that principle.

There is talk of teams being allowed a maximum amount of 6 players out on loan which sounds a lot but when teams like Chelsea have 40 players on loan you see there is a problem

I disagree i would still like our guys proving they can cut it in our league instead of elsewhere , then obv tackle the problem of playing for us in the spl,  I kind of agree with your point though tbh and the tarriers are using the system too their advantage and it is probably unfair

Amend the rules to allow any team to have only one player of theirs, out on loan, playing in the same league as them.

Ether would I mate because that’s exactly what he is. He’s not going to come here and turn into Neil McCann

[Dickie 12,905]

I’ve always thought that you shouldn’t be allowed to bring players in on loan if you already have your own players out on loan
