Greedy Jambo Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 (edited) Don't get me wrong, all 3 of them are good enough if we're playing the Ross County. Maybe my ambitions are slightly higher than the Regulars of kickback. And let's be honest, a lot of you didn't want Shankland and you were happy with Robbie Neilson, who is now managing a lower division team in the US that nobody cares about.

That's the same old trope racists trot out to justify what they say. Race applies not just to the colour of your skin, but also nationality, origin etc. So it's racist. Even if it wasn't racist, is Xenophobia okay then? I think you're being pedantic, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Regarding any of our players, the issue on here is more the hype created by some that sets the players up for a big fall. Devlin, we all know his weakness and strengths that he can bring to the team. Hoff- I think he's a bit if a meh player but has improved and getting better. Rowles, can be weak and bullied at times but is also a good tackler, good positionaly, decent speed and good on the ball. Aki- he's better going forward than defensively. I summarise, but sometimes these guys play well- that does not make them brilliant or worth £10m ! Likewise, when they get battered or have a poor game they just don't turn suddenly completely shite and need binned. I can't believe that adults can swing from such extremes in such short spaces of time and actually post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregzy2k7 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The Aussies are not shite, In fact most have made a decent impact at us, Cammy Devlin has been a success imo and has contributed well to the first team been unfortunate with injuries this year. Kye Rowles although he had a nightmare against Rangers has been mainly solid for us and has put in some really good performances this season. Calem Neiwenhof has been solid on the whole and was starting to come onto a real game in the last few matches. Nathaniel Atkinson also had a nightmare against Rangers but I feel like he started the season well for us and was one of our most consistent performers imo before going to the Asian cup. I think most of them have been decent signings tbh and have all contributed in different ways. We tend to forget this after a thoroughly shite performance from the whole team at Ibrox though, Could we do better? I think there's always the potential to do better and upgrade or improve the team and I feel like there are players out there who possibly could improve on these 4 especially Atkinson as I feel he is the weakest of the 4, but to say they have been shite and we should get rid is just not right imo.

And we can agree to disagree re the Ronaldo chop as u call it, I'm not au fait with that terminology I wasn't disputing him giving away possession; he takes more risks than most and therefore will naturally lose the ball more often. What cannot be disputed is that his defensive stats are good, and clear for all to see (who don't have an agenda against him). As another poster has suggested, it's pretty clear the guy is introverted and often low on confidence - those aren't traits you'd associate with someone thinking they are better than they are. If you don't like him as a footballer, that's fine, but there is no point stating things that are unfounded and simply untrue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just prior to the 1st goal at Ibrox, the lad was smack bang centre midfield, why? Headless chicken, someone quipped...I agree. Saying he's a "headless chicken" is a lazy trope to use when you're obviously unhappy about his performance against Rangers. It also disregards the fact that he was the key difference (alongside Oda) in the previous game against Motherwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my ambitions are slightly higher than the Regulars of kickback. And let's be honest, a lot of you didn't want Shankland and you were happy with Robbie Neilson, who is now managing a lower division team in the US that nobody cares about. "Play the Ross county ' What are you expecting, promotion to la liga? Ross county are a team we play in our league, who do you think we are signing players to play against, if not teams in the ****ing league? By regulars, you mean folk that post frequently and when we are winning as opposed to yourself that goes missing then gives this place a slaver carpet bombing after a defeat? By ambition, you mean singling out a nationality of player and slagging them? You obviously care, you brought it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Religion Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) 7 hours ago, Wee Mikey said: Wrong on three counts, therefore 0/10 for content as well as 0/10 for effort. Firstly, you are likening JKB to Tik Tok, Instagram, and Facebook. Secondly, it wasn't steak, it was local fish. Thirdly, it was most certainly not 'the Brits abroad area of Malta'. "Ignorance is bliss", one might say. The irony being that if all other attention seeking members posted their holiday pics, pics to confirm they’re at away games etc. like you do on jkb, it would begin to replicate the social media platforms you have mentioned.

Just shows you that your about as accurate as you were with your ridiculous comparison. "Retired" at 65, still working at 77, so you can take your "behind" comment and I'll give you three guesses where you can shove it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
