  1. It’s a bit of a lovers riff in all honesty. Lafferty should have turned up and been assessed by the medical staff and then withdrawn. MON was furious that he contacted him on the Sunday night after he’d played against Hearts although the fact that Lafferty apparently didn’t even mention his injury to Austen McPhee after the Hearts game probably added to his fury! It will be interesting to see who blinks next in this. If Lafferty takes the hump and retires we are stuffed up front but ultimately Kyle does what is best for Kyle Lafferty and always has. I only wish MON takes the same action in future with Conor Washington who seems to pick and choose when and what games he turns up for!
  2. They were possibly the worst international side I’ve seen at Windsor Park in a long long time. We could have beat them 10 a month ago and it wouldn’t have flattered us.
  3. Possible solution is Celtic game moved to the Monday night and move their two league games back a day. failing that just postpone the midweek fixtures to later in the season and play one cup semifinal on the Monday or Tuesday.
  4. Unless they make it a 2.30 kickoff on the Sunday.
  5. I'm amazed the authorities cancelled the games so early in the day. Usually the idiots wait to an hour before kickoff! what are the chances of united/st Mirren being on this Friday? 2 cancellations in a week won't help uniteds match day cash flow problems very much.
  6. I always wondered why the TA ( and more recently Liverpool) sang a ripped off version of song about going to the Somme. My father in law , a Morton fan, said it was started by Rangers supporters at a Scotland away game many years ago that he was at. Possibly a World Cup but I'm sure the older fans on here could confirm.
  7. Guy at work mentioned to me last week that he was going back to Millwall.

    If that happens you'd be getting the wrong O'Neil.
  9. Rodgers will manage NI after Tommy Wright has?.
  10. Just checked wiki. Was Assistant to moyes in Spain and then managed in Norway before being sacked last year.
  11. Billy McKinley involved in some capacity? Highly though of as a coach and was MON's assistant at Northern Ireland before he left for the ill fated Watford job. No idea what he's doing now though.

    A defensive unit made of cluggers? Have you watched any of our games? Evans, brunt and Davis, ferguson, mcginn can hardly be described as that! Just out out of curiosity what type of players mentality would MON need to work with?
  13. This. I keep referring back to NI but we have a limited squad of players who all know what they are doing. MON has got a reasonably settled team/squad and if there are suspensions or injuries the replacements slip seamlessly into the side. For far too long our players treated NI games as a 3 day piss up with their mates and MON seems to have instilled a bit of discipline into them. If I'm being brutally honest I just don't see that in a Strachan side. Inconsistency in selection and a team based on what league they play in would be my main worry for you fans. If Burke, Frazer, Gauld, McGinn, Cummings etc were from NI they'd be in our squad and most probably starting. All your midfielders seem very similar. Is there much difference in Morrison, Snodgrass, Brown, Fletcher, Dorrans, McAurthur and Bannon? To me nobody drives the team forward and all seem one paced. Chris Martin is as slow as me ffs. There are some talented players playing in Scotland and outside the English top flight but until the manager changes his selection policy or the manager changes your going to have the same problems for euro 2020.

    If you look at our (NI) squad we have two fantastic players in Davis and Evans who would walk into most premier league sides. McAuley and Brunt know what it's about and we've also got Cathcart out injured at the minute. Big Kyle seems to have lost a bit of pace in his legs and hasn't been playing that well for us hence why he was dropped last night for Washington. What MON has is a settled team and a settled system that everyone buys into. I don't rate Josh Magennis but he turns up works his socks off for the team and scores the odd goal. we had 3 millwall players in the team that finished the game yesterday!!! I watched your game yesterday and not sure the players have the same desire or work ethic. It all seemed very slow and pedestrian. The worrying thing for me would be that Strachan doesn't seem to know his best team or system after 5 years in charge.
  15. Is it £29 for away fans of every club for Hearts games at Murrayfield? Totally agree that it's a joke price to watch a game in the SPL.
