Big Stall

Complete pish. In a team, everyone has to pull their weight. If they don't, they get replaced. Thats the way it works. Kelly continues to make mistakes. A spell on the bench is what is required, even if it is only a couple of games. That is the point of competition for places. He shouldnt get a free pass just because he is captain. Again, Ronaldo was dropped during the world cup! We can certainly take Kelly out of the headlights for a few SPFL games. As an experienced player he knows full well that is an option and should be able to take it on the chin. If he cant accept it, and decided to throw the toys out the pram & fracture the dressing room, then we would be better off without him.

I don't think anyone expects Ox to be an exceptional keeper. I think what those of us who are calling for him is purely because Kelly has been horrific in the last few months and if you are going to pay a fee for a reserve keeper then he must have something about him. The reserve keepers job is to keep the main keeper on his toes and be ready to push for a place. Competition is what is needed and if a spell on the sidelines gets Kelly back up and firing then even better. The absolute nonsense I have been reading upthread that we can't drop the goalie incase it hurts his or anyone elses feelings is head scratching. Every Keeper - infact every player in every team should know that if they do not perform then someone else gets a chance. If Portugal can do it with Ronaldo then we can certainly do it with Kelly.

I give him a little more time, but.... Keeper needs a spell on the bench The next few games needs to be on thid back to basics aproach. Play cunts in the right position. Nothing fancy. Keep it tight. Seemed to work today except for kelly.

Scoring goals is not our problem. Even if it was, why would dundee utd sell moult to us? Literally give firepower to potential playoff oponents!

Honestly, regardless of how good or bad the Ox is...... what is the point of paying real money on a back up keeper if he cant put pressure on the number 1?? Kelly has been poor for months. His position should be up for grabs. Why the other lad has not been given a chance is beyond me. The other point is, he is out of contract in the summer. Why would he re-sign if he has spent a year & a half watching a diddy in front of him & not getting a chance?

To be fair, thats why Oxborough came here. Hasn't done him any good though

We will end up with Dick Campbell. Recreating the Craig Brown experiment

Ok. Iv turned. Get him tae fuck!

No radio coverage or anything? Streams?

Has us getting relegated every year. He might as well keep it up

How did that go for you?

Not often you are correct but yes, agree with you here. If shirt pulling is a penalty then thats fine & we play to that rule. The issue is that plenty shirt pulls dont get looked at. MJC blabbers about seeth but half of that is due to using VAR when it would 'appear to suit' rather than on a blanket basis. For what its worth, yes, the Rangers one today was a shirt pull & by the rules, a pen. How many shirt pulls in the box across all top division games in Scotland this weekend went unpunished? Just get VAR to fuck

As good as it would be to get big Kev back, its clear that despite only having 1 good striker, scoring goals is not our issue. We leaked 9 goals in November alone. That doesnt include the 3 County took off us. As good as having Mika & Big Kev together would be, its not stopping the rot at the back

Love this bit. Advised by a comms agency? Advised by the SPFL? Advised by a select few fans?

What we need to do is work out who identified Mika and was able to temp someone of that calibre to come here. That is what we need, mine that for all its worth. I know it would never happen but if we had 4 or 5 players on his level, ability and desire, then we would be in the top 3.

I never made it to a game he started in the cup so no idea if hes decent or not to be honest. But if he is good then we need a bit of presure on kelly

The thing is, if he (or any other player) thinks they are undroppable, there isnt many things to push them to up their performances. Is the big lad Oxborough any good? Was told he is on a decent wedge. No doubt he was bought to slide into kellys slot when an offer came in. If he was bought for that purpose then might be time to at least show Kelly he isnt untouchable. The other thing is and i could be wrong here but i believe they are both out of contract in the summer. Cant see Kelly signing back on. Would we expect this guy to re-sign given we havent shown any faith and gave him an opportunity in 2years while the number 1 has strugglef? Could end up with neither and potentially a diddy inline with some of those mentioned in the OP.

Game on......

No live commentry or am i just looking in wrong place? Celtic or bust on the radio?

Mika 45 minute hat trick, take him off and wrap in cotton wool.....

Assume you are not watching just how bad Aberdeen are here....

He's pretty decent in the wee mans new Fifa/EA FC team. 😁

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 4 games. 3 against the top 3 teams in the league & the other with 10 men for 45 minutes away on a dodgy pitch. Seriously, once youv wound your neck in, remember to wring yer knickers out

In the first half against hibs, both teams were brutal. It looked like we had a long season infront of us, no link between middle & front & no goal threat. Hibs were abject as well. Mika changed the game. Yesterday, first half we looked similar - i.e shite.

Probably wanted to ensure you had something to moan about
