Nope, was a long time ago tho

Not many know that…..

I thought that was a great signing at the time, but unfortunately he was one of the long list of players who were only good against us.

Mind the guy who used to host " the good old days" ? That first paragraph is like something he'd come away with, not sure what uoure saying but it doesnt matter anyway , as you say, back to ins and outs.

AP has 6 goals in 25 games for us, and 20 in 40 for his last team. To say there's little evidence of his ability to score is lazy and incorrect. He had 2 injuries last season, on top of literally moving from the other side of the world, at the same time his baby was born. It's well known that it takes players from other countries an extended time to settle. Never mind when the club changes manager twice and overhaul the style. In addition, he works his arse off, leads the line well, is solid on the ball, puts himself about, and frequently gets himself into good positions. All attributes that tend to buy players time, but for some reason AP isn't getting the benefit of that from some. JBA said that it will take time for the forward players to gel, which makes sense. No one knows for sure how it will play out for him, but there's no evidence to suggest we should cut bait on him when signing a goalscorer is proven to be one of the hardest things for a club to do, and our market is the likes of Callum Hendry. We just came off of losing two managers in a season and having to reshape a bloated and unbalanced squad that looked dead on its feet at the start if fhe yead, and we've managed to make a good start of it, so I don't think now is the time to nitpick on individuals.

Hendry looks to be a decent addition we need a holding midfielder and a winger/No10 and our squad is ready for the season. Ward/Oxborough JK/Sparrow Gordon/SOD Mcginn/Mcghee/Balmer Longelo/Wilson Watt Fadinger/Halliday Just/Ross Slattery/Nicholson Maswanhise/Said Hendry/Stam/Osong/ + Sule/Robinson/Stuperavic (All injured for a period of time) If JBA doesn't fancy Balmer shift him and get a Cb in.

He was like Barton, thought he would come to Scotland and stroll it but he got found out...watched him for Scotland and he was whole hearted but limited imo. Yep, it's a shame he lost his wife but a lot of people with a lot less resources have gone through that...anyway all power to his boy.

He strikes me as being a penalty box player end of, although admittedly his service has been poor so far. We either have to adapt our game to suit him, or he's moved on. I can't see JBA changing our style to accommodate one player. His one saving grace is that our midfield and "support" strikers have yet to start firing on all cylinders.

If we tried passing it in front of him instead of lobbing high balls he might be more productive.

So I keep hearing, but so far there’s little evidence to suggest it.

I'm not sure where to put this comment - but those writing AP off with certainty I think are wrong. If we are to be patient with our new style, I think we can be patient enough to at least see AP over the first ten league games. Theo Bair was a running joke in his first x games for us. Plenty more I can add to that too. There's a player in there, and it could go either way. To add - I have more doubts about Said than AP in terms of future prominence - but again ten games and I can add more.

Hope they get pumped in Europe, but at the same time if they get through it would be funny to see them up against the likes of Mo Salah 😄

The Sun is almost as disgusting. No approach to Celtic for a comment about the conduct of their fans and the damage and injury caused. How about, as now found guilty will they be banned from buying tickets for future Celtic games home and away? Hopefully the Courts do that at sentencing but Celtic should lead the way. But the rag still manages to fit in a report of their heroes victory along with a photo of O'Riley celebrating his winner.

I wonder if they are season ticket holders at Parkhead. If so, you'd think Celtic would be reviewing their status, irrespective of any potential banning orders.

Heard his Sean Connery was terrible but did a decent Michael Caine. 🤣🤣

This is what happens when you invite vermin into your home.

Cracking player .

I would think so. And given most of Europe goes on holiday for 2 or 3 weeks in August, things tend to slow down a bit.

Yeah I get that too. I'll be happy to see him stay

I dont think he is struggling. This is the longest he has stayed fit for us, so Im kinda hoping he will get better as time goes on. In no hurry to chase him out the door as I think we will need options until Sule, Robinson, Nicholson and Stuparevic all get fit (although, I fully expect some of them wont play for us again).

To be fair it wasn't me that came up with that figure - was reported on social media and on other football websites

Jimmy O’Rourke scored a few times at the old Murtion before he signed for us

Apparently 👍 Like I say, bit of a stretch.

The newspapers (I know!) did report an offer of £800k from a Norwegian club that was turned down. I accept that the report could be a lot of shite, but hardly something to pull someone up about.....

Yeah maybe but do you think they will given that he's struggling a bit at the moment?
