RTV? Completed it mate!
Kamara is cup tied is he not
No, he's not. Didn't feature in any of their ties against QoS.

Don’t see McCrorie being dropped unless he’s injured. We need a physical presence in the middle.
No idea why they could have came to that conclusion.
I honestly cant believe the difference in Barisic, against us he was a monster down that left hand side and looked like he would run through a brick wall.
For us he is a timid mouse that looks scared to get hurt , we have seen what he can do and he has some real quality, its a mental thing with him and it better be sorted for next season !
He would only be doing that if it was one or two individual players and he named them, but that's not the case; whatever he told them individually neither you or I know, so you're wrong there. The team did not play well at the weekend and they play for Steven Gerrard; what else would you expect of him than to be upfront and perfectly candid with the players?
Have you a quote where you say he did that?I would expect him to deal with it behind closed doors. He's effectively questioning the players' professionalism in public.
Because some of the losers actually thought a draw away to killie was a good result.
I love McCrorie's energy and physicality in the middle but he really needs to improve on his use of the football. Embarrassing at times
we, as a club and I include fans in this also, need to re-embrace the attitude of only winning matters.
Sick of seeing the excuses trotted out, "remember where we were". Aye, that excuse has worn thin now.
Been saying this for sometime now.
We also need to sign players with that attitude.
Doesnt surprise me at allStand to be corrected but my reading of parts of that there is an issue with some of the players in that dressing room.
Strongly suspect some of them just do not have the heart or the fight for it.
If that's the case, he should have nipped it in the bud before the game on Saturday rather than bringing it up this week.
I love Gerrard but I'm really not a fan of the constant flinging players under a bus in public after every bad result. All top managers keep that sort of stuff in house and back their players in public.
I disagree with much of that, because where we are at this moment in time is due in a very large part to where we were. When Gerrard arrived we had no central defence; no left back; not really a midfield; and one winger. This isn't the normal replacing players, this was plugging actual positions. Sorry, but I won't be ignoring the context whilst keeping my own long term dreams and ambitions for its club intact. I get the underlying point your making, but not at the expense of reality.we, as a club and I include fans in this also, need to re-embrace the attitude of only winning matters.

Think this is a clear statement of intent from Gerrard as well bringing Andy in with him.
Read into that what you will.
Like Greg Docherty in some respects. A years loan would be good still for McCrorie and reintroduce GD in the summer.

Been one of our best players since mid December but aye lets loan him out.

I agree .
He’s saying he felt training wasn’t right and people were egotistical, but waited until after the game to point this out ?
Wonder what players were giving it the big I am before the game then . Clearly guys who started the game or on the bench .
We can exclude Halliday, Defoe and obviously jack who didn’t make the squad anyway .
Is he saying tav ? Goldson ? Barasic ? Mcrorie ? Kent ? Candeas ? Clearly some of them are implicated . Very concerning .

I know you're one for the over the top drama on here, we all see it day in day out.
However it is telling you haven't once commented on the manager saying he loves this group of players, they know when they haven't performed and have bounced back before.
He also said they have given him more than he expected this season considering we're such an inexperienced team.
Why no mention of any of that? Or that not 'concerning' enough for a wee flower like yourself?
Gaffer doesn't trust another Croatian - Halliday back in!
Who’s the drama queen now ?
Did he or did he not say he saw Ego coming into training before st Johnstone and not the right mentality ? But you still want me to regurgitate the whole press conference ?
Your now on ignore . “ Bruce Wayne” ffs
But he's just said he loves the players to bits and still reckons we have decent players. As far as complacency is concerned,we are not anywhere near consistent enough to be complacent. He said one or two had an ego problem hopefully he's addressed that.If that's the case, he should have nipped it in the bud before the game on Saturday rather than bringing it up this week.

Agreed. He was an absolute stand out in those games against us. I’m starting to worry it was only because he had a huge bandage on his head and not that he had ability! Seriously though I think he is lacking confidence. 2 occasions in the first 5 mins on Saturday where he stood and fell over the ball.
Nearly ever press conference the player next to him has not actually started the next game.
I know and I am positive in nearly every time they didn't play.Seems like only a few weeks ago folks were posting 'so-and-so was rolled out for the Press Conference so he must be starting' LOL.
In truth, it means eff all.
he is available.Kamara is cup tied is he not

I've no issue with players being called out in public in a one off basis. It just seems to be happening with more regularity now, after every poor result. Constantly criticising players in public rarely ends well.
I get that he's also probably just trying to coax a reaction out of the players and if they can't take criticism then they don't have the right mentality to play for us. I just feel he's slightly veering close to calling them out in public too much just now.
''Players didn't train well''
''Didn't follow the game plan''
etc etc.
It's slightly concerning to me given him and Allen have brought most of the players in.
Agreed ... he was superb in the last game against them ... competed very well against MulumbuDon’t see McCrorie being dropped unless he’s injured. We need a physical presence in the middle.
The middle quote must relate to Candeis IMO. No one doubts he gives us his all but his lack of composure in the big moments is killing us. That chance simply had to be,at least, on target.
7-10 daysAny update on Eros¿?
If he had a sexy foreign name he’d be inNever thought I'd say this, but Halliday must start to feel like he's being used a bit.
Like having two burds on the go and he's the eager one you phone when the better-looking one is busy on a Saturday.
He's earned the right to be first choice ahead of Barisic.
What reason did the players have to feel cocky coming off the back of a poor draw against Kilmarnock?
I agree that Halliday should come back in. Barisic isn't cutting it and looks a major downgrade on Declan John.
Away you back to Fifa!!I love McCrorie's energy and physicality in the middle but he really needs to improve on his use of the football. Embarrassing at times
This is what I’m scratching my head with aswell.I honestly cant believe the difference in Barisic, against us he was a monster down that left hand side and looked like he would run through a brick wall.

In and around the Croatia national side and just missed out on their World Cup squad.
How can he be so poor for us?
Shearer still better than Ronaldo ayeAway you back to Fifa!!
I agree, there’s a lot of good things about having him in, defensively sound, good in the air, driving forward when we need it, but he needs to get better with the ball
