  1. He's deserved that one for his performance today.
  2. Jutkiewicz vs Kipré this afternoon (Jutkiewicz scoring in the 2nd minute). I see Gordon has scored again for Thistle, too.
  3. Soft pen for Dundee's first, and some slack defending for their second. Apart from that, we've looked good going forward and been the better team. Ariyibi having some fun on the wing (and his set piece delivery has improved too). Expecing a few more goals in the 2nd half.
  4. Careful not to lose your balance there while you backpedal.

    Trevor Carson

    Because Robinson said Gillespie is a first team keeper that he brought in when he expected Carson to be moving in one of the past two transfer windows.
  6. Maybe because his form dipped a couple of weeks ago. I'd actually have benched him a game or two sooner.
  7. Did they mention the parachute payments? Be interested to see what that's worth these days.
  8. Robbo knows *exactly* what is going on. He's just making a point.

    Would not be surprised if one or other moves in the summer.
  10. Certainly ticks the boxes for our regular transfer strategy. Big. Check. Worked with Robinson in the past. Check. Out of the game with bad injury. Check. Something to prove. Check.
  11. I think a number of member countries use the FIFA formula, but you're right - local association rules take precedence. That's why it's much more beneficial for us when a youngster (like Erwin) moves south.
  12. Under FIFA guidelines, there is Training Compensation and Solidarity Payments. I think it's the Training Compensation this one falls under.
  13. There is a FIFA formula that many countries use that is based on multiple factors such as category of training facilities, number of years with the club etc. but I don't think Scotland (or England) adhere to that exact one.
  14. Not just Hastie - I don't think in general that loans between teams in the same division should ever be allowed.
  15. Exactly. He made an impact in his first few games, and then coaches and players worked him out. How he reacts to that will determine how good a player he becomes. If he can work out how to handle two-man marking and full backs trying to keep him out wide, then he can undoubtedly go on to bigger and better things. If not, then he might struggle. That's why I think he'd have benefited from another season of first team football with us. You can't beat playing against first team defenders in competitive games to gain that kind of experience.
  16. True. But defending seems to be optional for full backs in the modern game. (Now I'm going to pull my tartan rug over my knees and finish my Thermos of tomato soup).
  17. I'm on the fence with that one. A natural left back with SPFL experience is a decent shout. On the other hand, it's Lee Wallace.
  18. Exactly. The game has expanded to such an extent these days that any player who wants to stay a part of it can find a job in some capacity. Just look at the number of coaches a club like ours employs as part of Project Brave.
  19. I think it's more about the disappointment of losing a player to one of the bigot brothers. I imagine most fans would be happy to see him succeed if he was moving to almost any other club, but don't want anyone to succeed with that mob. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cadden move on in the summer, but at least from his interviews, he seems to have been quite happy sticking with us. Despite the fact that it feels like has been around forever, it's easy to forget Cadden is only 22.
  20. Davidson - Pettrigrew - goal!
  21. I've never been a fan of playing wingers or fullbacks on their wrong side. Frear needs to be on the left to be effective. If Cadden was fit, he should have been in right mid and Ariyibi or Frear on the left.
  22. No surprise Hasite is on the bench after Robinson's comments earlier in the week. Wonder if Semple will get any game time today.
  23. Clear(ish) red. Then Leeds missed the pen, went a goal ahead a few mins later and 10-man Wigan came back to win the game. So I guess you could say he took one for the team. (EDIT: just saw the highlights and wasn't easy to tell if it was deliberate handball or not).
