Anyone who thinks McCrorie is better than Lewis Ferguson need to look at Fergusons stats. He has aggresion assists goals and a great attitude. McCrorie might be up there in 2 to 3 years but we need a player now that can make a difference. We don't have a box to box player so I reckon he would fit in perfectly. If we don't buy him I reckon in 2 yrs we would regret it. Just my opinion i'm sure plenty will disagree 🤔🙄.

31 Aug 2020 20:05:07
I agree with you 100%.

31 Aug 2020 20:33:59
I disagree 100%.
He's rank rotten, never stood out in the first game of the season except for 2 horrendous tackles that would be a red card if he was wearing the blue of Rangers which makes him a liability as much as Morelos is slated by some on here for his temperament.
All he has going for him is his second name.
And at the reported £2 million is well overpriced.
Just my honest opinion.

31 Aug 2020 21:17:10
Bluebell I wouldn’t judge him on that 1 game. He’s been integral part of Hamilton and Aberdeen. He can tackle, is strong, good in the air, can drive from box to box, good at penalties, scores a few goals and can create chances. If he is stuck with no room he can keep possession with his strength, he also has ability to play 1 touch passes and is strong with back to goal, he makes everything tick.
I have watched him closely over this calendar year since we were heavily linked with him in January and he has impressed me more often than not.

31 Aug 2020 21:21:47
Let’s go round again
Maybe we’ll turn back the hands of time
Let’s go round again
One more time 🎶.

31 Aug 2020 23:50:03
He's mince, you lot on the sauce?

01 Sep 2020 06:18:29
Ferguson is a big bruiser, a hatchet man. Rangers aren't interested in him.

01 Sep 2020 06:32:36
BWD you are a tim.

BB must be a bad player than if he has had two bad games .

He is the current young player of the year and that’s a FACT.

01 Sep 2020 07:34:49
The old tim card when you have nothing else🤭👍.

01 Sep 2020 08:14:38
Now now coldo, kJ didn’t mean the guys a Tim, he just sounds like one,

Good morning btw, and to the editor.

01 Sep 2020 08:22:09
Are you a dons fan? Why so defensive?

01 Sep 2020 08:43:32
I'm not sure tom, you are a tim is quite conclusive. Good morning to you old chap😁👍.

01 Sep 2020 08:49:53
I would expect him to stand out against Rangers, KJA9, if he’s as good as everybody says he is?
Easy to turn it on and look good when both teams are going for it like the lesser teams do. When he’s been up against Rangers he’s looked out his depth.
And I don’t see him improving our first 11.
Just my opinion.

01 Sep 2020 08:58:01
He wouldn't improve our first eleven. The very reason why mccrorie doc murphy are all gone. We have better. 👍.

01 Sep 2020 08:59:26
Morning coldo, I should be waking up in sunny split this morning, sadly I’m still in springburn, the yuppie part obvs, I’m hoping to hear doiger explain “ no point in scoring 4 and conceding 3, best line I’ve ever heard on here doiger, brilliant stuff,

Only Kidding of course doiger, I have decided to enjoy what is left of life and you made me chuckle, old chap,

Coldo you’re in danger of having a full net.

01 Sep 2020 09:06:52
It’s easy to look good when both teams are going for it? Really mate? So when two teams go for it, does that mean everyone looks good, you do have a alternative view of football il give you that,

01 Sep 2020 10:25:24
Tell me how it is easy mate.

01 Sep 2020 10:50:09
He didn’t look out his depth when he single handily put us out of the cup mate lol.

01 Sep 2020 11:18:03
The boy at hamilton that scored to beat us 1-0 at ibrox last year wouldn't get a game for us COI, what's your point mate? Does that mean that every player who scores a goal against us that beats us would be good enough to play for us? 👍.

01 Sep 2020 11:37:12
Bluebell said Ferguson has looked out his depth whenever he has played against Rangers. He was outstanding against us in the cup semifinal and scored the goal that knocked us out. My point is he didn’t look out his depth that day. If anyone here thinks Ferguson is not good enough for Rangers then they are a dreamer!

01 Sep 2020 11:49:28
I would like him here now, he has the look of a boy who could be a very big player for Rangers.

01 Sep 2020 11:55:43
Ferguson wouldn’t enhance our starting 11 he’d end up like docherty. And how can you compare mcrorie and Ferguson as they are different types.

01 Sep 2020 12:15:58
Nowhere near good enough, people just like namesake players. Absolutely mince, big Bob was twice the player.

01 Sep 2020 12:31:28
The full Rangers team were rubbish that day COI. When we’re on our game, Ferguson doesn’t get a look in and resorts to horrendous tackles and would be a liability in a Rangers shirt.

01 Sep 2020 12:38:57
I’ll try and explain it in simplistic terms for you to understand TomThumb. 👍
When both teams are going for it, it creates more space in the midfield making it easier for lesser talented players like Ferguson to perform.
When he’s up against a fully up to speed Rangers midfield that likes to keep a hold of the ball with ease he resorts to mistimed, over the top tackles.
Always happy to keep you informed of my “alternative” views on football! 🤣🤪🤣.

01 Sep 2020 17:48:21
After my almost 25 as a player with Clydebank, Falkirk, ferranti thistle, queen of the south, Morton and being on the same kilbowie pitch as David Cooper, among many rather well known players, I shall take your advice on football tactics with a very big pinch of salt

01 Sep 2020 18:15:52
Did ye aye.

31 Aug 2020 18:21:36
A bid of 20mil from Lille been accepted apparently. Probably not be back after international’s.

31 Aug 2020 19:18:32
Hope not. Time
To move on. Loved the guy and all he’s done but a player with his head somwhere else is no good to us.

31 Aug 2020 19:19:19
If this is the case then its a great piece of business--.

31 Aug 2020 19:25:49
Sooper Morelos norton international duty.

31 Aug 2020 20:16:01
Where is this info mate? Have not seen anything yet. Cheers.

31 Aug 2020 20:37:12
I'm not believing anything about bids again, no matter what the Lille Chairman and Gerrard say until it's confirmed by Coldo at his own press conference. 😜😂👍👀.

31 Aug 2020 21:03:35
Porto now interested.

31 Aug 2020 23:24:08
Ground hog day, again, and again, and again.

31 Aug 2020 23:33:59
You shouldn't bluebell🤭 and barrowlad, have you been reading the daily record🤔🤦‍♂️👍.

01 Sep 2020 06:48:07
Its your go to source coldo! But no glasgow live sorry 👍.

01 Sep 2020 07:38:30
Why are you quoting it then barrowlad? The other day you were having a go for stating what they were saying now you are stating what they are saying? 🤦‍♂️doh👍.

01 Sep 2020 07:48:02
Glasgow Live is the News feed i'm quoting coldo! Do keep up 😆 the daily fail is your goto source! DOH 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👍.

01 Sep 2020 08:45:26
But but but I wasn't reading the record. It was glasgow live honestly. If you say so barrow😁👍.

01 Sep 2020 10:15:33
Coldo I would never give that excuse of a paper the attention it doesn't deserve!

01 Sep 2020 11:18:49
Ok barrow😉👍.

31 Aug 2020 13:16:35
Part timers Lincoln Red Imps will be a tough game. Oh in fact, it's the other side of Glasgow that can't beat diddy teams in Europe!

31 Aug 2020 14:39:01
We have had just as bad let's not forget.

31 Aug 2020 14:40:20
Better watch that comment mite come bk n bite us on the @rse.

31 Aug 2020 14:47:23
Exactly dsgersfan. Red Imps beat Celtic 3 or 4 seasons ago. It should be a formality but got to be professional and get the job done.

31 Aug 2020 14:53:03
The difference is Paul, we were a diddy team then 🤣😂🤣 when Progress humped us we didn’t have the luxury of 30 million pound defenders, 30 million pound midfielders and a 40 million pound star striker!

31 Aug 2020 15:44:49
Its a one off game so u never know. We still had some shockers kaunas etc. Fully expect us to make it through tho.

31 Aug 2020 16:05:54
Also worth noting that the tims won the tie comfortably. But aye get what you mean.

31 Aug 2020 16:09:37
I've been known to be pessimistic over the last ten or so years and I'm not going to make any rash statements about us definitely going to win the league this season but with Stevie Gerrard in charge, Lincoln Red Imps pose no absolutely threat imo.

31 Aug 2020 16:43:26
If we even have the slightest doubt in our camp over this match, we shouldn't be in the competition, I would be appalled if we didn't beat this team, we are nothing like the team that lost to Progress.

31 Aug 2020 18:19:40
It’s a 1 leg tie, it’s on a plastic pitch and they beat celtic over there so although I expect us to win by 2 or 3-0 I won’t be shouting my mouth off about our chances.
Need to just get our heads down and come back in hat for Q3.

31 Aug 2020 19:15:23
We should never be complacant against ANY team. I want to see more goals also. We seem to be comfortable so far but not converting chances in to goals.

31 Aug 2020 21:09:49
Draw for q3 made tomorrow Glasgow Rangers.

31 Aug 2020 12:43:12
Europa league

Rangers v lincoln red imps.

31 Aug 2020 13:08:04
no lincoln v rangers.

31 Aug 2020 12:15:23
Red imps 👍.

31 Aug 2020 12:11:26
Red imps then. Away. Sure they play on a crappy Astro. Should be easy enough though.

31 Aug 2020 13:03:05
Same ground as we played St Josephs on last season.

30 Aug 2020 23:01:14
Can anyone see Morelos putting all this recent nonsense behind him if we don't end selling him and getting his head down and start playing his best football

Or are we going to end up with an unhappy player collecting a wage While his transfer fee drops

Long enough for a transfer to go through but will it be the 16 million or above that we already declined?

For as much as we're doing well still some strange decisions being made by the club at times especially in these crazy times

On the Mccrorie issue - think we could have done better in his transfer fee

Was also surprised Hamilton had a player sent off and we were unable to capitalise on that in yesterday's game

As much as having clean sheets were still not scoring a lot of goals for the money spent so far
Although 1.0 -2.0 wins every game would be superb but watching the highlights feel we can be a goal away from dropping more points for finishing teams off

Suppose we will see how it goes

But I feel at times stevie can make it hard on himself
He even said after game he was disappointed not to have had a greater scoreline

What's everyone thoughts.

31 Aug 2020 05:56:18
Think mcrorie issue I’d have demanded more for him plus add ins or sell on I really think he’ll do well at the sheep. Do agree we should be scoring more goals and this could bite us if not sorted. I think if any 16 million bid comes for Alfredo in this window he’s sold. I don’t think Alfredo is really going to be happy if he’s not sold. sometimes it actually becomes harder if a team go down to 10. That’s just my thoughts 👍.

31 Aug 2020 08:12:53
We've had a 16 million bid.

31 Aug 2020 08:17:01
I think a win is a win. Keep doing that and we'll win the league. I think we should have kept McCrorie as he would have been an extra squad member for our midfield and has potential. As for El Buffalo, either sell him now or keep him and tell him to shut up and get on with it! Having signed Itten, who is a goal-scoring centre forward, he should now give him a run. He scored 23 goals in 42 games for St. Gallen last season. Apparently Itten will be available for the next home game following his calf injury.

31 Aug 2020 08:27:16
Again mccrorie isn't good enough, we need to offload players and try balance the books. Doherty, mccrorie, Murphy, Jones these type of " give them a chance" players need out the door pronto they had a chance n blew it and again just simply not good enough.

31 Aug 2020 08:39:29
I think Alfie will put it behind him, eventually! He had some face on him sitting on the bench.

We got what we were willing to accept for McCrorie, yes he is a talented player but I think we can see that youth will not get the chance with SG so he could not get the consistent game time to increase his value, but he will at Aberdeen and move on from there with a decent fee, hopefully we have a sell on %.
Agree we need to be more clinical in front of goal. 24 shots against Hamilton with an 8% return, is pretty poor, but a win is a win I suppose. It could well come down to goal difference so we do need to get more ruthless.
Before they went down to 10 I got the pre season feel about the game, players were too comfy and not really driven enough to get more goal, except Kent, if all player played with his mentality then we would be hammering teams. After they went down to 10 like most I was expecting a few more but no. I think our decision making in the final 3rd is extremely poor, but that comes down to the individual player more than anything.
SG is being honest, we were all disappointed with the scoreline. I wonder if big Itten was fit if he would have went 2 up front either at the start or during the game.
I'll add that we really do need a natural wide right player as Hagi does not look to comfy out there. Not once did I see him beat his man and get a cross in when he was out there, for as poor a match Barker had he did once skin his man and put it on a plate for Roofe, only for him to miss the target. Creatively all our good work comes down the left, eventually teams will suss that.

31 Aug 2020 08:54:24
McCrorie was apparently MOM against Hibs at the weekend. He can't be that bad!

31 Aug 2020 09:16:37
It can be difficult to keep unhappy players. Some, like Morelos, withdraw into themselves and make it difficult to get 100% out of them.

31 Aug 2020 09:34:33
Alphie? if he goes he goes with my best wishes but I don’t get this photo doing the rounds of him on the bench, I never knew it was compulsory to smile when on the bench, a photo is a snap shot of a moment in time we could all look like him at some moment it’s just the press sitting it up, if it was me and a bid of over £16 mill I’d take it but I’m not on the board, if he stays I’ll be right behind him as he’s a top class striker his goals in Europe earned us a lot of money last year so I’m easy either way if he goes and we receive a big transfer fee great if not and he stays we have strikers fighting for a jersey.

31 Aug 2020 10:30:48
Mccrorie was on loan in England last season if he was as good as some are saying surely we would have had some offers from English clubs who are a lot better than Aberdeen?

31 Aug 2020 10:36:31
Mccrorie wanted to leave. He didn't want to be a bit part player hence why he's gone to the sheep because he knows he will be one of the first names on the team sheet. You can complain as much as you like but the boy made his choice. He isn't better than Jack, Davis, Aribo or Kamara.

31 Aug 2020 11:36:38
you just can't compare how a player is in another team. the opposition set out totally different against us than what they do against the likes of aberdeen. its easier to look good in that set up. its when playing for rangers and having to grind out results against the 10 in a box mentality its tough. that's why we need better box to box players.

31 Aug 2020 14:14:16
Sorry Stigno, been away. Was bid for Buffalo recent, official?

31 Aug 2020 14:59:47
Miller brand it was official. SG says it was turned down as did not meet our value, Lille chairman said they bid but it was rejected.
However coldo says all lies.
So really miller who do u believe, Sg or coldo.

31 Aug 2020 16:54:09
That's easy John, Steven Gerrard, nobody knows what's going on more than him, certainly not on this forum.

31 Aug 2020 17:19:01
I think irvger that coldo May not agree with us mate.

30 Aug 2020 21:54:10
Im surprised that more is not being said about the wigan fans appeal to Defoe, I would have thought the publicity would do their cause no harm at all.

01 Sep 2020 08:29:16
Morning Jyf, I didn't see that story mate, what was it all about, cheers.
