Just gets better and better doesn’t it? 🤦‍♂️

We all know Jack is pretty limited and he really should have been replaced, but I don't like reading the personal vitriol and hate he gets all over social media to be honest. He's an honest lad and clearly cares about the club, he's not a Sulemana waiting for the next exit.

Yeah for sure he's not going to be taking us to the next level, but I think he deserves a bit more respect from the fanbase than he gets. The very least you want is someone who cares, and he does.

He didn’t care enough to apologise for getting sent off for pulling someone’s hair though did he? 
As club captain that should have been a given.

Be brought it on himself with his brain dead actions getting himself sent off in games when he's supposed to be setting an example.

Don't worry, he is due back in a couple of weeks.   Which two weeks, starting from when, remains to be seen.

He’s done more work with medical staff than Florence Nightingale.

[Dark Munster]

So he has a new part time job working with the medical staff. Makes sense I suppose, he has plenty of experience and although he probably doesn’t need the money it does keep him busy.

Do you know if they both finish the game MLG unscathed?
They both may never play for the first team again, who knows? But if they are fit, there is at least an opportunity to loan or sell them.

Both went off at half time, Stewart didn't achieve much but Larios looked reasonably lively.

If you look at potential loans and futures for them, Larios in particular might have something going for him especially with the rumblings of Sevilla looking at a possible move. Stewart, who knows, I wouldn't be surprised if 12 months down the line he announces his retirement. 

[disconnect]

Larios played another 65 mins on Fri night so that's at least promising. Stewart nowhere to be seen. 🙄

He’s got immediate promotion to the first team. Rumour has it Juric is playing him at centre back.

Someone needs to tell him to retire for his own benefit. He needs a new career as football isn't for him anymore. I feel sorry for him, but someone close has got to be honest with him now.

Club needs to be ruthless - terminate final year through frustration or offer him a % of wages at Champ level to start-up post-football career.

We should honestly just wipe our mouths and move the fuck on at this point.

There's no room for sentiment here.

This has been a fucking dumpster fire of a signing. The worst signing we've ever made. Ever. 

Has there ever been a worse one?

Don't say Carrillo, he at least contributed *something*.

This guy can't even last 20 minutes of reserve team game.

Would the club even be insured for him at this point?...

Why though, how does that benefit either party in any way? He’ll most likely see out the rest of his contract here trying to get fit again and retire at the end of next season when we release him.

[badgerx16]

Why can't we just pay him Statutory Sick Pay ?

The benefit is *NOT* continuing to pay monstrous wages to a player that isn't going to ever play for us in any meaningful way.

I thought that benefit was quite fucking obvious tbh.

I’d say the only thing that is ‘quite fucking obvious’ is that Ross Stewart is not going to just write off the last year of his wages, or even a portion thereof, for no reason.

[trousers]

Anyone know what career the doctor who conducted Stewart's medical went into after, one assumes, he was struck off by the General Medical Council...?

Bit of an assumption that, Trousers?

You're assuming that the advice he gave was accepted by the club..

With a player like that, I think we always knew it was high risk - high reward, this time it just didn’t pay off. We basically did the same thing with Danny Ings and that did pay dividends. Win some - lose some, I guess.

Bloomin' 'eck, I've just seen a picture of the man himself in the latest training gallery on the OS. He was, gulp, stretching for a ball..

Well there is a reason... You can't play a match.

Pretty sure Ings wasn't injured when we signed him

He started 8 games in all comps for Liverpool across three seasons, only made 25 appearances in total and a lot of them were ten minute subs. There were serious doubts over his fitness, which he still struggled with in his first season with us.

Ings had some persistent serious injury and fitness related problems in the years leading up to us signing him. Why anyone would pretend not to understand that I can’t fathom.

That's him out again for a while then, at least another 2 weeks.

When we signed him, Klopp said he'd been fit for quite some time but he couldn't offer him game time.

Ross Stewart was virtually on crutches when we signed him for £10M fucking quid.

Big difference.

Seriously? Stewart wasn't even able to kick a ball let alone actually get onto a football pitch. Not pretending to fathom anything. He wasn't injured when we signed him, Stewart was. What are you failing to understand about that?

The irony of Stewart doing that unscathed, and the rest of us picking up injuries from fainting. 🙂
