I heard that Turnbull didn't actually go into hospital. The media team filmed a fake knee operation in a studio in Coatbridge. You can tell his cast is fake because there is no shadow when the sun shines on it.

What are you talking about? An injury he never had, he had an operation for fuck sake. Of course he had an injury! And he obviously needed it because if he didn’t he wouldn’t of had an operation! Do you really think doctors just make this shit up? Your off your head.

Just as an aside, looking at statbunker (which seems pretty accurate) Polworth and James Forrest are tied top of the league in assists. Polworth edges Forrest out when it comes to percentages, though, as his assists have contributed to 24% of our total goals this season compared to Forrest's 16%. That's my kind of luxury player.

He’s got the most assists by a country mile, probably up there with the highest of anyone in the entire league ?

Robinson mentioned that there was an illness going through the squad, so that might explain some things. Polwarth is going to be our leader in assists by a crazy margin come the end of the season, and probably right up there with the highest in the league, he’s a good player.

Our league position, for which he's partly responsible, suggests otherwise.

I like the theory that Celtic faked a medical report and forced Turnbull to somehow persuade a surgeon to fuck about with his perfectly fine knee to an extent where he can’t play football for 6+ months. That would have been some consultation.

It's encouraging to see us do our bit for the environment and climate change when scoring. Seriously though, good post.

4 wins and a draw from safety?

It must be shite being Liam Polworth. Leading goal assists in the league with Caley every season by a mile, with 1 or 2 goals of his own thrown in too, only to be moaned at because he often LOOKED Sad & didnt like tackling much and now has something like 3 goals and 12 assists in 18 games for Us and is branded a lazy bastard luxury player we dont need. Mental

I think Mr Burrows put Turnbull under the knife (against his will) to limit his appearances due to some appearance bonus clause in his contract.

he has 10 assists it said on radio today. if you think thats not gd enough then i dont know what you want. boys a player

Excellent composure from Manzinga for the last goal

Bugger. Went for a pee and missed #4.

As I said in the summer Christopher will never set foot in Columbus. He probably couldn't point to it on a map. Still glad to see him doing well though.

Whatever's going on, I very much doubt we'd have sent him for an op that only Celtic thought he needed, unless we've already agreed a post-op fee for him. Far too big a risk for him and for us.

What you've never had, you'll never miss. No point getting too upset about transfer fees for young David when the transfer didn't happen. He is a contracted player for the rest of this season and for next season. We need to concentrate on getting him fit, healthy and back playing football for us. No shortcuts for short term gain. If we can get him back to where he was before the injury, we will all do very well out of the situation. We do need to, though, remember that he is much more than just an asset for our club, with a value, increasing or diminishing, on a balance sheet. He is a young man who has had a serious mental and physical jolt, with his dreams of a great career move, and all that entailed, shattered. He needs our help and support to get back on track.
