The beauty of the internet is things are there in type, I made no mention of Bates or Kiernan, I mean I literally didn't type a thing about them, so where you have got them from is just beyond me.
I am at a loss as to how you saw a player with talent to be honest, Cardoso was as culpable as any when we went out to Progress, he was slightly embarrassing to watch against Hibs at Ibrox, Simon Murray twisted his blood, when we drew at Partick he looked terrified, he was giving away fouls all over the place, again, not seeing a player with talent. He was dreadful when they beat us 2-0 and couldn't clear the ball properly or track his man. The League Cup Semi, the incident where he broke his nose gave him a pass to be honest, he was being man handled and bullied before that.
And while I didn't mention them before, I will now, his display in the 3-2 against Celtic was every bit as bad as what the likes of Bates and Kiernan produced despite hardly being on the park.
Cardoso has done incredibly well for himself, but he didn't look a talent with a high ceiling while with us.
