Read the date of my original post, please

What does the date matter it's a stupid suggestion?

Of course it matters, Its when he offered us nothing, It was before he banged in his hat-trick

I suffer from spanglish at times

Me too. Especially when I pay the pub a visit.

It doesn't matter Algeria is miles behind the likes of Sakala it's a moronic suggestion or just trolling.

We seemed to be obsessed with physicality in this country, imo that is part of the problem.
If the boys are good enough we should be encouraging creativity not stifling it or waiting until the bulk up.

I have a feeling I know where some posters go for a babycham at weekend
The obsession would give ye the boak

9 year-old me was obviously an idiot then. I would read about JJ in the Rangers News and thought he was a poacher.

Let you away with it Dave

Partly agree, however physical attributes are important.

Players need to be able to shake off their opponent, get by their man and it is easier to carry the ball if you have a bit of pace or strength.

For example, you could argue Scott Wright still gets pushed off the ball too easily and that’s after we’ve put a shit ton of muscle on him, where as Kent has the upper body strength to carry the ball.

There’s a middle ground, sometimes when people say “physical” they envisage booting players or flying elbows - that’s generally not what people mean when they refer to physical attributes.

Having the physical attributes help the player reach peak performance, putting a 17 year old centre half who is built like fag paper up against the likes of Chris Kane is just asking for trouble.

S&C guys are critical to a team these days.

That’s why Gilmour’s failing eh

Scotland’s a different game though.

Thriving in England and didn’t get a sniff for us at a time where we were absolute shit, take from that what you will.

Gilmour has a natural talent that exceeds anything we’ve seen since Barry Ferguson.

What do you mean didn’t get a sniff?

He was training with the first team and left before he could play a game. Pretty sure U16s can’t play any matches.

did you watch the interview on RTV in relation to the scouts etc I thought that was a good watch

He could have played for us before he left, no?

Or did he leave before the minimum age?

Behave yourself

Don’t think U16s can play matches bud, could be wrong though.

I will take and I will give back, he was 15 when he was with us Trigger

I was definitely moaning that we should have used him more for the 6 months before he left, but that could well be misplaced bollocks now.

Gilmour is the exact type of player that could easily have went missing in the Scottish youth system though, based purely on his size.

I’m not sure I have bud, when was it and I’ll have a look once I’m home.

Yeah, playing for the Scotland 21s whilst the ball sailed over his head non stop

I could well be wrong with the game thing by the way, I remember him on the bench v Morton but not sure if the cups are different?
