1903Fitba Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 How can they buy Cosgrove then?My point exactly. Unless they sell heavily (they won’t/can’t as they have no great assets) this January they’ll be limited to loans. Summer they may have the funds but even then, who’s going to want to move to a bottom half championship team/top league one team? Especially with Leeds etc rumoured. Link to comment
slippers Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 How can they buy Cosgrove then? No idea? I seem to recall them calling for the fair play rules to be relaxed as it’s restricting them. Maybe looking to sell Jack Butland and a few others to free up money? Lost 15m this year and 30m the year before. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 £3.5m would be a terrific first bid. In the real world we won't even see that by the end of deadline day Link to comment
DelMonte Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thats irrelevant to the panel yeah, because it's the bloody rules Not because theres a conspiracyWhy did Browns tackle against Hearts not get upgraded to a red if that is the case? I agree its no conspiracy but its human nature to play it easy and not punish the bigger teams. McKenna retrospectively punished from his tackle against Celtic last season wouldn't have happened if he played for Celtic. Browns tackle last week proves that surely? Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hearing stoke have bid £3.5 million for Cosgrove. I’d take that Outwith the transfer window? That would be pwopa nawty and the relevant authorities would be very interested. File under "complete bollocks" Link to comment

Browns tackle last week proves that surely?There just seems to be a lack of understanding from a lot of the pundits on what the actual rules are. Michael Stewart saying he didn't think it was a red surprised me as he's usually not far off the mark with his opinions. But to me he focused too much on the fact that Cosgrove played the ball. The panel will have focused more on the intent rather than the actual end result of the challenge. He flew in when he had no need to it was reckless because of the speed of the challenge and the fact that when he launched into it both of his feet were off the ground. For me it was a red card I couldn't really see the controversy or why certain pundits thought a red was harsh. If that had happened to one of our players we'd have been screaming for a red card. I haven't seen Brown's challenge from last week can't really comment but he does seem to get away with quite a lot. I agree I don't think it's a conspiracy but he does seem to get cut a bit more slack from refs than other players do. Link to comment

For Fecks Sake Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Swap him for CrouchNah poor timing for a swap deal what with the DFS Boxing Day sale starting tomorrow. I reckon we should hold off swapping him for a couch just now Link to comment
muttonhumper Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 If it was brown of Celtic making the same challenge he wouldn't even have been booked. This is central belt SFA SNP assholes in control of the game in Scotland. If independence ever happened you can kiss Scottish football bye bye. It will be Glasgow Scotland Area 1. And Edingburgh Scotland Area 2 the rest of Scotland forget it. Wrang wi' roon here. Celtic and "Rangers" exist in their current rabid, sectarian, divisive state as a direct consequence of the union with England, and their divide and rule strategy including their plantation of Ulster. Had Scotland existed as a normal nation, and not been forced into the aforementioned anomalous and ruinous (for Scotland) Union in 1707, allied with the British starvation / genocide enforced on the Irish and their subsequent mass migration to West of Scotland, then Celtic would probably never have existed. Rangers similarly, would 100% have not existed as such a rabid and bigoted entity spewing bile and hatred across the country, as, er they would have had nobody to spew bigotry and bile at.Well... they would have had less to direct their neanderthal scumbaggery towards. Edit: The added bonus would have been no fucking mutated, inbred simpletons relentlessly marching the streets in "tribute to the Dutch". 2 Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 my point being that we get slated for going back to the glory of the 80's you are trying to compare a Leeds side glorifying the 60's & 70's & winning a couple of diddy (unestablished as yet or respected ) Intercities cups Link to comment

Shinniesta Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Didn't the dons win the small euro cup?Nah. We won the second biggest euro trophy at the time then won the unification clash with the big cup holders to become the undisputed kings of Europe in 1983. Fast forward just over a decade and we were battling relegation at Falkirk on the final league game of the season. Link to comment

Wrong on both counts. Anyway, fuck it. COYR Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Inter cities cup was a diddy cup in Europe.basically like the intertoto, a gateway invitational back door into Europe for wee shitey teams that failed to get in via respectable routes Link to comment

Anyway, fuck it. COYRNot at all. Aberdeen are still competing for the ‘third force’ title in Scotland leeds aren’t even competing for being a top 30 club on a regular basis in their country. they were & most certainly still are an irrelevant club in England a shitey wee thingy Link to comment

Celebrating a king that never set foot in Scotland once and signed the document to start the highland clearances, which killed many and ostracised even more!.Canada eventually made good out of it though Link to comment

Compared to what the game used to be like it's virtually a non contact sport now. The rules are shite what used to be classed as a hard but fair challenge is now a red card in a lot of instances. But whether we like it or not they are the rules and Cosgrove should have known that before he launched into the tackle in that manner. Link to comment
Poodler Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Ironic that it's gone non contact when it's so into supporting homosexuals. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Can’t find it on YouTube. David Healys tackle is worth a look though. Clearly just a booking. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It's not like they even hide the fact that the huns and the tatties are their favourites. Just through a few other teams a bone, at least pretend there is a bit of neutrality. Did they think that if sam cosgrove got his ban rescinded he'd score 4 a game for the rest of the season. We ain't going to win the league, central scotland brother bollocks. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Precisely. Cosgrove (stupid and looking for it though he is) fundamentally is sent off because Porteous is sent off for the same thing two days previous against the other cheek. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Not that long ago, it would've beem a yellow. But the ref doesn't want Cosgrove to score another, no hesitation, red card. So the refs facebook is still a friendly place and his home address isn't posted on twatter. Link to comment

All they do is alternate the ratio of which of the arse cheeks has the 2-1 advantage in the 3 man panel. Only time they wouldn’t have an arse cheek on the panel would be for the calls between non arse cheek involved incidents, just to seem like it’s not always their jobs for the boys type shite EVERY time Link to comment
