For me, when you look at teams who play possession based football and who look to break the press of oppositions, they almost always have passing patterns drilled into them. Little sequences of play that they will look for to pass that initial press. We do it for example. The triangles between the GK/Vesty/winks and the other CBs will usually break that. Rodgers doesn't have that. He seems to try rely on the players to work it out and they just aren't good enough.

Abdullah Sima from Brighton. Very good season at Rangers. 22 and I'm not sure Brighton are keen.

I'm pretty raging. Can't understand how everyone, the players and the manager can go from how we've been this season to what we witnessed today BUT I'm also not going to over-react. It was sh!t but it's done now so there is no point in running over and over it. We move on.

Fake FG attempt coming up.

Tried to go to bed but the Niners defence showed up and stopped me.

I mean, it IS slightly annoying how much attention Swift has been getting over the season but A, that's not HER fault and B, I actually think they've resisted going to her too much tonight.

Agree! We shouldn't put labels on superb owls. Only average owls.

I feel like a filthy whore for backing the Niners but LET'S GO!

Prob more likely to come on instead of Hamza but seeing how nervy it was we went for the more defensive option.

I think he would suit us more in the middle of the CB's. I think we missed Faes' run forwards and although Nelson didn't look uncomfortable doing it, he didn't offer the same threat we have when Wout plays there. Ben is good enough on the ball to play the Vesty role.

You're probably right, it makes more sense than what I thought he tried to do. I thought he tried to catch it with the outside of his boot to Doyle on our left.

Sessioned Griselda on Netflix today. Very good show.

I think he'll do a great job up there. I was listening to him doing punditry the other week and his knowledge of the game is incredible.

That's the annoying thing though. It doesn't matter how gash players for the top 6 are, they will always get another decent move or two. It's not like it is for us and you, where a bad signing means you are stuck with a poor player, they somehow always manage to move on their dross.

100% it was a silly reaction but never in a million years a red card. What is ironic is, I wonder how many of those same fans have said the words "the game has gone soft."

The Stile forum is good for a laugh. So many of them moaning about Mcateer's "iron iron-clad red card" whe he PUSHED one of their wee fellas.

I think playing in lower leagues is incredibly important for a young CB. Some of them seem to coast off the size and physical advantage but in those leagues, you can't because everyone is big and strong so you're forced to develop other aspects of your game.

If you go to Morton, give me a shout for any help or advice you need to plan, or even a beer before you shoot off. My home town team.

Aye, this playing players in their best position nonsense will never catch on.

Maybe.... at 28 and only if he gets a move to a top 6 side, regardless of how good he gets.

Lord McNelson!

This lad needs to dig out his old Scotland kit and get himself a ticket to Germany this summer.

We want a post match thread for every goal

Mcateer as an #8.

Enzo's exact words were "I'm not going to talk about it" that's a refusal to talk about it. Admittedly he did say he might at a later date but as of now, they absolutely refuse to discuss it. I can't remember who exactly but there was a reporter who was usually in the loop being cut out after last season following a few articles speculating about our finances and (admittedly rumours has it) it's Rudkin who was behind it. I'm not talking specifically about finances and have made that clear, I'm talking about the club and/or Enzo showing a bit of sympathy for us being completely in the dark OR accepting that, that enforced ignorance will lead to unrest. If you don't like points being repeated or questions being asked over and over, maybe football forums aren't for you...
