Morelos suspension.

[Valley Bluenose]

He won't be rusty. He played last week v Hibs having hardly played in the two months previously.

We can't afford him getting injured by playing him v Stranraer.

Can’t agree with that argument mate. Don’t play him against Stranraer in case he gets injured? Does that mean we don’t play him against St Mirren either in case he gets injured and misses the (more difficult) game at Tynecastle?

 

[captcaveman]

Almost all of Morelos red cards are for double yellows, cards that are given for incidents that other players get away with every week. Rangers should be going after the SFA with lawyers for this cheating and victimisation.

So is it 2 or 3????

another thread with no actual answers

Posts #22 and #25 have the answer. As things stand it’s 1 game in the cup and 2 in the league.

 

[Ulsterscot]

For clarity this has not been confirmed anywhere.

He will definitely miss Stranraer and St Mirren.

I expect the Hearts game as well and that should be it.

 

[YoungGer97]

Im sure i read earlier that he isnt banned for Stranraer. Cup suspensions dont carry over. Its only St mirren and hearts he'll miss

 

[Salsabear]

Step up Greg Stewart.

 

[ssblue]

Banned against 2 of the worst teams in the league.

Clean slate for the rest of the season.

 

[Bishybear30]

As per title Morelos missing next 3 games due to red card and is also banned for the Stranraer game should we be worried or will Defoe do the business

Sniff sniff. Back intae yer hole Michael

 

[Presbyterian]

If he misses the Stranraer game, hopefully we don't use Defoe in that game either. Need to keep him fresh for the league games.

Defoe has kept himself in tip-top condition his entire career, maybe best to play him v.Stranraer to get match sharpness.

It does carry over

 

[Danger Zone]

I


It’s a kinda bullshit.

Great Queen song

 

[Arkanoid]

Defoe and Giroud will see us alright for a few games until he's back

 

[sulabear]

Ryan Kent through the middle when Defoe needs a rest.

As things stand?
Are you expecting further bans?
He's banned for 3 games in total.

I don’t ‘expect’ any further action. What I ‘expect’ though counts for nothing. Are you, hand on heart, 100% confident that will be it? Never mind what’s right or wrong because we all know that counts for nothing in Scottish football.

Yes.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Yes.

You’ve a damn sight more faith in the Scittish football authorities than I have then. As I said, I don’t expect any action but I’m a long way short of being 100% confident in that stance. I’m nearer 50/50 if I’m honest.

Whats your confidence based on?

 

[The Predator]

We will have Defoe and Giroud to sort us out anyways. Nae danger

 

[RenfrewBear72]

Unlike our bad smelling neighbours, who only have a racist junkie on the bench, we have adequate ammunition waiting in the wings with Defoe and Stewart ready to go and we could even let Kent run riot in the CF position.

 

[Stuart_WATP]

I think we need a striker signed in January if I'm honest.

 

[DEJA BLUE]

Stranraer - outstanding from last season
St Mirren - yesterday's red card
Hearts- 6 yellows this season 1 match ban for that

Whoosh clancy did his homework

 

[DEJA BLUE]

The cup game is because of 2 bookings last season in the games v Aberdeen.

Remember Clancy booked him for diving to put him out a semi v Celtic if we had won?

Definately a very sinister pattern developing by clancy on alfredo

 

[WalterSandy]

Should win these games easily enough without him.. but we've already drew with hearts away... need our best players is all I'm saying !

 

[Hammy]

Love the guy but he’d done well to get infront of Julien and was one on one with Forster, why not just take the shot?!

 

[Ricksen]

If we’re signing anyone in January, it has to be a striker.

 

[Ibroxroar]

Kent or Defoe up front means we have plenty cover.

 

[Polar bear]

We need another striker in regardless.

I think we will sign another striker before the league gets going again.

Think that's something only Morelos can explain, personally i'm still bemused why he did it, obviously thought he would chance his arm for the penalty,step up and break his scoring duck against them and it backfired on him and now lost him for three matches.

 

[temperance]

We need another striker in regardless.

Exactly this, even without his suspension, we need another striker, even a decent loan striker.
