NO Could we get a player in who does what he does and a little bit more ?YES probably but at a cost. Is he Pish ? NO most definitely not Would I let him take a penalty or trust him with a one on one in a cup final against Rangers ? NO in all honesty I wouldn’t. You seriously think he would deny himself a winner's medal because he supports Rangers? Not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that the majority of players in Scotland will support one of the Old Firm? They're also professional enough to put that support to one side and try their best for the club that pays their wages. Quite frankly, your views are utterly ridiculous.

And there's 'supporting', and there's what Halliday is for Rangers. I deleted your last line. It's poor patter. I don't think that Halliday would underperform against Rangers, for the record.

In saying that, so far he seems to find a bit extra for Celtic and Hibs so that’s a plus point. Edited August 9, 2021 by GinRummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 100% effort every week, versatile. I suspect some folk (not all) don’t like him becuase of who he supports and his politics - I couldn’t give a flying shite about those views or any fan who holds them. They are risible.

A Shoreditch Heart Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 The Si Ferry tv stuff is a little bit annoying, but I really like him as a player and thought he was one of the few positives from last season. He's started this campaign well and rangers let him go remember so he will be out prove himself against that lot and will be one of the most committed on the pitch - to suggest otherwise is just ridiculous.

Ted Hastings Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Genuine question, have the folk who are complaining about his side gig as a ‘professional rangers fan’ actually watched / listened to the podcast? He has by far the most balanced views of the four of them and is clearly very knowledgable of the game and of the league. Doesn’t come across as a fanboy by any stretch of the imagination and talks very highly of hearts. He’s also a left sided, versatile and hard working player who gives us a goal threat from midfield and gives 100% every game. Baffling that folk dislike him so much.

Bang on Ted, i actually like him and think he is a decent option in the squad that can cover a number of positions. I think people have short memories given some of the dross we had in midfield the season before last (Damour, Clare, Bozanic, Langer etc).

Yeah, I think that’s what it was meant to be. He kinda got himself “about a bit”, which I suppose is what people said they like about him.
