Is it too soon to call for Martin to go? I knew we were beat as soon as the lineup came out and so it proved!

They are saying we shouldn’t be playing a back 3 it never works!

Would be surprised if there wasn’t at least an option or a mechanism for triggering a compulsory purchase like appearances etc

He didn't explain himself at all, it was a cleverly worded statement that avoided explaining what beliefs it is that prevent him from participating in the show of support. Had he at least included something like 'I fully support peoples right to equal treatment whatever there sexuality' I might have had more time for him but he didn't he just made a nicely worded statement that basically says I don't believe in supporting the rights of people with a different sexuality.

I think he was implying that if by some miracle GB is both for and good enough to dislodged Ramsdale in January then that would be a massive bonus as GB would have undergone a significant improvement while out injured! At least that’s what I hope he was saying!

Not any time soon I wouldn’t have thought! Will be good to take him out of the firing line for a bit he clearly has potential but do few goalkeepers are ready at his age!

Would be a good move for me, JWP is a better player than smallbone any day of the week. If he has a good season on loan and we stay up then sell him if we go down he comes back in to help us get back to the prem.

Let’s hope Yuri is the exception that proves the rule! Maybe he moved to Europe too young and a period back at home developing will have got him to the right level. Given he has a full international cap there must have been a time when much was expected of him!

Will be interesting to see what becomes of him, not many players who go back to South America from Europe ever resurface but at least if Charlie does we should get a hefty sell on fee. Good luck to the lad he always put the effort in but it hasn't worked out for him here.

Easy to forget just how good Beattie was when he played for us, decent off both feet and strong in the air wouldn't mind us signing a younger version.

And the truth is likely somewhere in the middle, TP is clearly a limited footballer otherwise he would be playing at a higher level already but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be an option when we are chasing a game or just need to change things up a little. Personally I’d like to see us buy a better number 9 but until that happens we should be finding him a spot on the bench there are plenty of spaces these days.

If he plays for us and does well even if we go down he has boosted his standing and improved his chances of getting a permanent move to a big club. If we did loan him I expect the obligation to buy would be dependant on us staying up otherwise it would seem unlikely for him to come.

Hence the sensible two referendum solution to a complex question. A simple yes no was not subtle enough and resulted in the cockup that followed. The official leave campaign was mainly fronted and funded by right leaning individuals so you would think they could have presented a coherent picture and I seem to remember Boris being front and centre… personally I would never use referendums as they are terribly flawed, particularly when done on an advisory basis without the rules and oversight of the electoral commission. You are right though if we are going to be stupid enough to use them we should have had a vote on Maastricht and other similar treaties.

Even before that GE the only thing that stopped Brexit happening was the ERG head bangers. May’s deal would have passed through parliament if the Brexit supporting MP’s had voted in favour. The real irony is they didn’t like the so called ‘back stop’ which they then effectively put Northern Ireland in to for the rest of time.

It wasn’t hung following Boris’s election victory he had a massive majority elected on a mandate of ‘get Brexit done’ sadly once again Boris had failed to define Brexit beyond it being ‘oven ready’ and him and his cronies they went to war over who could deliver the hardest Brexit while the venture capitalist loons in the party fought for a ‘no deal’ Brexit so they could cash in once again betting against the country. Boris and his Brexit majority chose to push through his terrible deal, the leave supporters were the ones that blocked May’s deal not remain supporting MP’s. Every time Brexit failed or failed to deliver it has been the fault of leave supporting politicians. Right down to the negotiating team showing up on day one in Brussels having done next to no prep and wandering why the EU handed them their backsides on a plate. Eventually those that have supported leave and those that have delivered it will take ownership of the massive turd sandwich and stop trying to blame those who didn’t want to leave or saying they voted for a ‘different’ Brexit.

Stuffed full of remainers? When Boris had a massive majority, a cabinet stacked with his cronies and leave supporters, Cummings pulling the strings behind the scenes and had kicked all the moderate voices out of the party? Of course it was remainers fault that a government elected on a mandate of get Brexit done led by the face of the leave campaign delivered the ultimate crap sandwich. Do you even believe the nonsense you post? The leave campaign should have been forced to either present an accurate picture of what Brexit they were asking us to choose or as I’ve said countless times we should have had a second referendum (Announced as part of the process of initiating the vote) once the Brexit deal was negotiated to decide if the deal negotiated was attractive. Both votes should have been legally binding and therefore subject to all the rules and over sight of the electoral commission. I think the only thing we agree on is Cameron should never have called the vote in the first place. He put it in the manifesto to appease the ERG fringe and expected to trade it as part of a coalition with the Lib Dem’s then he was to confident he would win. Following the vote his position as PM was untenable and I agreed with his decision to go.

I think the point being made was that Elyounoussi was very successful at Celtic but terrible here! There are loads of examples of top SPL player being found out in the premier league Barry Fergusson being a prime example!

Thanks once again for your valuable contribution

Injured at 11:00:01pm

HE had a major injury when we first signed him that he hadn't recovered from since then he has played about two minutes of football. Yes his latest injury isn't the same one but if we hadn't wasted our money on a player who had not recovered from a major injury then we might have been able to spend the money on a player who actually plays!

Nobody is blaming him but it is a total embarrassment that the club signed a player with such a serious injury before he had proven his recovery. He has been an incredible waste of money and is currently tying up wages, transfer budget and a place in the squad and his contribution to date has been ….. nothing! He might make a miraculous recovery and prove himself but it won’t change the fact we have been a man down since the day he signed .

It’s not ridiculous, during the referendum campaign leading figures on the leave side said leaving the single market and customs union was not in the national interest so you could reasonably infer that a vote to leave the EU wasn’t a vote to leave either of those arrangements. Leave could have taken a myriad of forms but was not defined in anyway so we were in effect asked to choose between the status quo and a pack of populist lies. This is why people still complain they didn’t get the Brexit they wanted, plenty still come out with the laughable Brexit in name only and nonsense about wanting no deal etc etc. when making such an important decision it would have been prudent to define the choices! nobody is ready to re-open the Brexit debate because it is too painful and damaging and would risk dividing the country and labour loosing the next election. Brexit is a disaster the evidence is pulling up and still nobody can point to the benefits!

Excellent, a long list of feels with no actual tangible benefits listed good work go straight to the top of the class! lets start with list the top three EU laws that were so awful we had to leave just to escape them and then list the new trade deals done since Brexit that come anywhere close to replacing being a member of the single market? I won't hold my breath

There is a perfectly tangible set of measurements if you want to do a Google and some basic maths. Millions of brits visit the EU every year filling out an online form isn’t going to put them off in any significant number so this measure simply takes millions of pounds out of the UK economy it is yet another Brexit bonus that hurts our country. It is really funny that not a single person can list three tangible benefits from Brexit, the last government had a minister appointed to look for them and even he couldn’t find them!

Multiply that up by the number of Brits that travel to the EU every year and you have a significant amount of money taken out of the UK economy for no gain, it is yet another Brexit ‘benefit’ that is just a drag on our economy rather than a boost. point to the Brexit boost that has put £2.33 (or more) a year in the pocket of every Brit who goes to the EU?
