The Oxford Don Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'd be putting Campbell in middle of the park, Harvie at left-back and Considine at CB. There's zero value in playing O'Connor, Arnason or Ball, given none of them will be about next season. Agree with this and I would also be making it clear to Consi that he will only be kept on as an auxiliary centre-half. He just isn't a LB and the poor bloke consistently gets hung out to dry by keeping him there. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 AOC is 100% gone at the end of the season. Has know for a while. We have a shed load of money to lose between now and the end of the season.Well that's one way to look at it. If you believe the senior players are going to see out the season in a high. I'm pretty certain they won't be. But maybe we'll find a young player who can make the step up and actually make a "shed load" of money by developing another good young player. Link to comment
Tommy Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Not just picking in AOC here but I would quite like to see a radically changed lineup and formation in the next few games. We have nothing to lose, get a few kids in, try a new team shape etc.I’d scrap loan deals. Far too often they don’t work and it must piss off young players wonderingwhat incentive there is for them to be overlooked by some of the dross we have endured on loan.A loan player at the end of the day is simply happy to be getting a game and most having no affiliation to the club and support don’t give a toss.

I'd add that if we have the chance of getting a player like Maddison on loan, we can't turn that down. A supremely talented player who'll likely be playing at the very top level before too long. 1 1 Link to comment
rossafc92 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I always thought that AOC was exactly the type of player Jimmy would have signed in his final season. He would have been right at home in a team full of limited footballers with arsehole personalities and next to zero effort or care towards their job. These comments from him only go to prove that. He is such an average footballer. Painful to see him in the team so often. Michael Stewart's analysis of him on Sportscene last week sum him up. Wouldn't look out of place playing for the likes of East Fife. 2 Link to comment

Christie on previous form. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Logan?I forgot he was on loan initially. I suppose that's a good shout as well. It does tend to be the younger players on loan that do well, rather than the older boys. I'd assume it's because the older ones are just being punted as they are shite, and the young lads are on loan for game time to improve. Link to comment
Dal Riata Don Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 It's evident the now, at least to me that AoC must have been tapped up by Barcelona [who are notorious for their nefarious transfer dealings]. That's why he's cunting the fans off, playing shite and making noises about moving. Big hearted 'Anto' is just trying to soften the blow for us, the big hearted fucker that he is. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 I knew he was shit ages ago. Pissed my pants when fans were singing he's a class defender at Murrayfield. A no nonsense centre half could be a shout for this summer along with Devlin and McKenna Link to comment

Tord31 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 He will play some part this season apparently. He certainly won't play any part on Saturday. stick him down for a start at celtic park Link to comment

Ernie McCracken Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Danny Ward?Danny Ward was a success on one hand but a disaster on the other. He was a great goalkeeper, but the decision to take a first choice keeper on loan rather than make a permanent signing came back to bite us on the ass and ended any chance we had of challenging for the title.
