Ed de Ball Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 You should have provided your own red dot, but fortunately I brought extra, dickhead. You should have gone to charm school, redneck. Looking forward to your in-depth account of your visit to the tea towel wearers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Nu Sport Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Good for him. Still slightly surprised we didn't offer him a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Nu Sport Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'm not raging we didn't offer him something but I wouldn't have been raging if we had. Seemed like the sort of young player with potential that Duffy specialises in, and that is reflected in his NI call-up, but I presume Duffy has someone better in mind.

Youth international football means nothing. Lawrence Shankland has scored twice for the Scottish U-21s and will never amount to anything. I'm pretty sure McManus has scored for them too.

I'm pretty sure McManus has scored for them too.I wouldn't class the International u-21's as "Youth Football", as most players at that level go on to play at a reasonable level and will already be playing the game at a decent level to merit their call-up. Granted there will be a few wasters in amongst them who'll amount to nothing despite being given all the right breaks, but the same could be said for any bunch of young lads eg. students, apprentices, army cadets etc. Edited May 25, 2017 by capitanus *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty are just not that good, despite their hard work, which is a byproduct of how the international system works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean - for every Andy Robertson there will be a couple of Fraser Fyvies who'll be dining out on the Shite club circuit on the fact they were once an u-21 international player. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobton Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I wouldn't have grumbled if we'd offered him an extension and sent him out on loan, but I'm not overly disappointed that we got rid of him. I thought the guy had potential and it would have been good to see him develop next season. The one thing he did have was pace which we missed in the second leg when we played the likes of Kudus instead but that's another story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Alan Jenkins has retired from playing. Edit - typo Edited May 28, 2017 by AyrshireTon McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

TRVMP Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Wish we'd had Jenkins longer than we did, for me he was one of the symbols of our no longer accepting chancers running the show at Cappielow. Hard worker and very good midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Average imo This season is the first one I can think of when he'd have been definitely kept out of the first eleven. If that's average I'll take a full squad of average players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
