JackLadd Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Have to assume his Hearts contract allows for weedgia work. Radio Scotland can't talk to huns direct so they need ex huns to butter them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ri Alban Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) I'd gush about Hearts(if there was anything to gush aboot) giving half the chance, no matter who I played for. I really don't care about this, as long as he doesn't pull a sickie when we come up against Rangers.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 He knows his career is as good as finished and after we get promoted we’ll sign better players than him, so he’ll have a bit part role. Rangers was his peak. It is what it is, there were not a lot of quality options around for the championship so I’m certainly happier having him than not having him, prefer him already to Clare and Bozanic. So accept it, move on and stop posting threads every time he’s on the radio or a podcast or there’ll be 200+ threads about it before end of the year.

OTT Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Of the view that he’s a footballer not a pundit. If he’s doing well on the pitch then fine, whatever. But he’s not. focus should be on doing well for us and training accordingly. deeply unhappy with what he’s offered so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Not got a problem with his media stuff tbh, we know he's a currant bun born and bred. Personally don't think he's a possession type midfielder. He's box to box, his game should be getting forward, receiving a pass, giving it to someone else then making a run forward. Also, tracking players back and putting in tackles. He's not a playmaker, not in a million years, he doesn't have the range of passing or vision to play that role. That's why I find it strange we've chucked both Lee and Halliday in midfield at times. Zero balance again at Hearts as per. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 On paper, this looked like a good signing, as we needed someone with a bit of bite to play in the middle with Irving, and a bit of cover at left back. But instead, he's replaced Irving and he's played alongside Lee? Really struggling to understand what Robbie is going for in the middle of the park.

In fairness it couldn’t be more obvious what Neilson wants in the middle of the park, Experience. In his first league games with an entirely new squad, he’s leaned to the most experienced options. Which is fair enough. But Irving has to come into his thoughts now surely. I thought he would be a stick on for Alloa away on the plastic pitch, rest Haring and give Irving a chance to show his passing ability alongside the new man Halliday. If Irving isn’t starting the next game away at Morton, I think he will probably push for a move away in January for game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Needs to play left midfield imo. Him and Kingsley are pretty solid and they can cover each other. Smith and Gino right with Harring and Irving centre 2 from Naismith Boyce and Wighton up front. Go 442 no messing about and get the job done.

Never had a pre-season etc. He has had plenty game time. Plenty sessions and plenty time of his own to get to 100%. A couple of flashes apart he has been utter pony and we’re his last possible chance of a decent club. He would clearly rather be at Rangers and needs to get that club out of his head before he’ll be any good at our club.

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that once they're both up to full match sharpness that they'll be an excellent midfield pairing and I think Halliday will eventually prove to be a very smart signing. Not really bothered what he gets up to on these podcasts and stuff, as long as he does the business while he's wearing maroon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost in space Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I dont really care what he says on the radio - it will have been agreed in his contract probably. He may not have agreed to join us if we had not agreed. As for his form - likely (in my opinion), that he is being asked to do a job that does not suit his style of play. He is often playing as 1 of a 2-man defensive midfield. We dont need 2 defensive midfield players - in fact in this league, I dont think we need any, unless full backs are playing as wing backs (which they arnt).

A complete disaster of a result and then the next day he’s on Clyde for 5 hours talking about how bad it was for Celtic and Lennon and how amazing rangers are, literally gushing over them. He should have cancelled and kept his head down after the day before. It just doesn’t sit right as a so called professional for the third biggest club in the country.

It's all about opinions and not saying you are wrong but my own view is that pairing are not "attacking/offensive" enough. That pair may be better in Premier but in championship, we do not need 2 defensive players in the middle. Hopefully our manager realises this soon.

Irving has countless times more technical ability than Halliday, but probably not as good a fit next to Haring. Just another example of short sightedness that will cost us in the long run though, we should be giving our young players as much game time as possible this season and Irving is the best of the bunch. Going nowhere in the long term with Halliday and Haring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Prentice Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 If one of our players spends his time bigging up another team I feel that he simultaneously demeans us. He should shut up or gtf. As has been said, if he was bigging up Celtic this board would be in meltdown. Doesn't matter to me which side of the old firm it is, equally annoying. Have zero memory of him from when he was at Rangers, don't think much of what I've seen so far. Also agree with all those who say play Irving every week. Ideal opportunity for him to learn his trade.

Spellczech Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I did wonder why people were so excited about signing him considering Sevco dumped him from their team on reaching the SPL. I thought it was because we were in the Championship so he should be good enough. So far, I don't think he is good enough. Winning mentality? - Sevco have won nothing so far... I remember Kris Boyd doing media-selfplay over Rangers for the Record whilst at Killie getting fat too. I fear he was brought in so McCulloch could do a bit of west coast bantering with him in training... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
