  1. It's maybe the case that Dougie was reasonably happy with the squad and didn't anticipate we'd be so affected by injuries in February and March. He already has another striker lined up for next season ) and I would hope that Oakley could be persuaded to extend his contract so other than a short term signing until the summer, what did we really need prior to the transfer window closing? We were on a decent run and it would have been reasonable to expect that to continue in some shape or form.
  2. That sounds outrageous. Firstly, they should be stating the price inclusive of VAT as most folk won’t be VAT-registered and so won’t be able to recover the VAT. Secondly unless the event has been seriously upgraded since last year, a price increase of around 140% is indefensible. I know they want to make a profit but at those prices I can’t see many takers.
  3. Glad I missed that one. Sounds like an absolute clusterfuck.
  4. Partick’s defence is not rated too highly, so if no Oakley we might be better to have someone else up front with Muirhead to take advantage. Crawford hasn’t scored for a while and I’d like to see him in a reasonably forward position for this one. Is Quitongo still out?
  5. Think you’ve maybe just got something salty on your hands.
  6. Where to start with that intemperant rant? I suggest you yourself relocate to general nonsense where you can shout into the echo chamber. My political beliefs are none of your business but rest assured I will never ever vote for a unionist party, and especially any party which sees genocide occurring and refuses to condemn it, as is the case with both the main unionist parties. They probably chime with your own values perfectly. Now can we please get this thread back on topic?
  7. You’re the one who brought politics into it. Maybe you should have posted in general nonsense instead. Oh, and for the record I’m not a member of any political party. Are you still voting Likud? I notice your wee flag has vanished.
  8. Because this is a football forum. DOT being compared to a Norwegian traitor because he’s sooking up to Brian Graham and the luvvies in a sleeping with the enemy way is not really a party political statement, or indeed connected to Scotland being held in a coercive, abusive relationship. Given you’ve abandoned Morton for the last few years, can we expect to see you in with the union bears at Ibrox on Thursday?
  9. I was surprised at Waters being brought on as a sub rather than a more attacking option given we were a goal down, and yes, with hindsight Power should maybe have impeded the runner in the build up to the goal, but overall we matched them all over the park. Mullen was superb, and his kick outs from hand were reaching the D of the opposition’s penalty area - astonishing for a player carrying an injury. Strapp was immense despite some rough treatment. Shankland was reduced to mediocrity. With Oakley on, we would have won that but can’t fault the effort and commitment of the entire team. Now let’s bring that to the league starting with giving Partick a doing on Saturday. Imrie still doing a great job so let’s get the playoffs on his cv.
  10. Listening to George on Radio Scotland this morning and Dougie’s preview, I’m getting the impression we might see a surprise appearance tonight. Maybe not in the starting line up but more likely on the bench. I may be wrong, but both seemed to be denying George would be fit without ruling him out. Mind games. Wee wager on first scorer maybe? Must be huge odds available…
  11. Still hope he’s bluffing but if Oakley doesn’t make it the team pretty much picks itself.
  12. Remember that incident with Chick Cavanagh. What a coincidence…
  13. Better not wear black or you'll end up running the line...
  14. If someone has a ticket, there is no reason not to admit them. To suggest that letting someone in after kick off might overcrowd the ground is daft as they could have turned up before kick off and got in without question. It's a daft rule and probably they're doing it to avoid having someone on the turnstile for any longer than needed. Every game I'm at, one of my friends invariably arrives about 5 minutes or more into the game - never been a problem at the Sinclair St turnstiles in as long as I can remember. This sounds like a situation where the general manager should just tell the stewarding company to facilitate late entry, even if it means letting someone in via the main stand entrance and telling them to walk through to the away section. The stewarding company are employed by the club, not the other way round.
  15. Yes, pyro is spectacular, but particularly in a packed crowd it’s also extremely dangerous. Remember also that the main stand is made partly of wood. The club would be negligent if they allowed pyro. These things burn at a very high temperature. An accident waiting to happen, particularly in an old ground like Cappielow with lots of combustible things about.
