Re: DeJa Vu
The initial chat about bringing change that was'nt wholesale change was obviously tactful.
6 in and desperate for a quality boost that absolutely changes the team dynamic. Next signing (or 2)has to work well.
Team needs to have a fighting attitude on top of the belief they are good and the best.

Fyvie for me, is done. Slow, unfit and scared to tackle.
Frans and Bouhenna must be the softest pair of centre backs I have ever seen. Bouhenna in particular was absolute dogsh**e last night.
McMullan getting the whole 90 was staggering. After hearing a rumour about Aird we will be in for another winger I reckon.
What you heard?Loves a punt.
That's what I heard last night too.
So Celtic back Griffiths and give him time to get his head right and get help and we try to get one of the only players who can create a goal for us out the door asap?
I don't see the sense in it at all, if that's what is about to happen.

Pity it's not Fyvie that likes a punt. He clearly doesn't like the gym....

Are we def trying to get him out the door?
Maybe he is being backed quietly and given help without making it a public issue? Then again look what happened with the last player we had who loved a punt, maybe better just getting rid.

Re: DeJa Vu
I think there is a very serious issue here. Gambling is an addiction which affects society in general and footballers in particular. If you have any Irish ancestry, you will almost certainly have a granny who was addicted to spot the ball, the pools, bingo etc. I actually believe the Irish have a genetic predisposition to gambling. I recall some years ago sitting in Costa in Milngavie and there were four Paddy Power managers talking at the next table. One was bemoaning the fact that his weekly turnover was down 12% since a Rangers player had been signed by Blackpool (I didn't hear who it was).
If we just look back at our club and list the players who would have benefited from counselling for different addictions (alcohol, gambling) or anger management or chronic self esteem issues: Andy McLaren, Ralf Milne, Ian Redford, Duncan Ferguson. You never see psychiatrist, CPN or psychologist on a club's staff. I would hope our Sporting Director has someone in mind

Re: DeJa Vu
Thanks. Did you ever read Ian Redford's autobiography? I think his son described it as "the longest suicide note in history" He never stopped trying to get approval from his father.
