andrew Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The overreaction to Kingston's lack of form is sickening. He's still a terrifically gifted player capable of turning a match. I remember threads about Miller and Ferguson being out for Scotland saying this was a positive thing - was it bawz. Larry was deserved man of the match against Killie and we need our best players playing against Hibs. I think Kingston's lazy arsed attitude so far this season has been sickening. Lack of form you can accept but not lack of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverley Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 i want him playing on sunday why?? because its on the telly, and thats when he plays best. this is a game we desperately need and want to win, and when larry turns it on he can be a match winner. i've moaned about him before, and he drives me crazy when he's faffing around like a diva, not trying, but i do beleieve he will turn it up a notch on sunday if he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA MAROON Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Perhaps the club can't afford his appearance money any more. As per cost cutting stories on releasing Besijla. If we can't afford to play him then we just have to accept it and do the best we can with what is left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 haven't read most of the thread but i know some folk will be slating kingston and some will be defending him. he's a tremendous player on his day, bags of skill, awareness and is a goal threat. it's a pity he lets himself and us down too often by not working hard enough and/or being a greedy wee git. he has to play because he's a potential match winner, surely that isn't in question. what is in question is whether or not he allows himself to become the match winner. this guy gets a helluva lot of money and it's about time we got a weekly return for it. 'mon the kingston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Feck him hopefully he doesnt play!!! lazy bar steward!! Come on simmy get a grip. It`s embarassing now that it`s almost automatic fans slag Kingston if he gets out of position a couple of times. Against Killie he played well and worked hard. There`s a guy who sits behind me who only opens his mooth about Kingston when he dos something sloppy. I never hear him praise him. I think it`ll be a mistake not to play him on Sunday.

He's a show-off and this is one of the best opportunities he'll get. It would be utter madness to drop him for this one...If he's not performing to the best of his abilities, drop him later on when we're playing Hamilton or something, but not for a derby. Hibs fans hope fervently that he doesn't play...speaks volumes really. Their midfield isn't really up to much and if ours does what it's capable of doing, they could be in trouble. I'm not quite sure where I sit on the Larry thing...I think he's a great player and there have been a few occasions when he has frustrated me, but we're better with him on the pitch than without him. That's all I know. He can turn game even when he's not really 'in the mood' and that's enough for me. He may not be many things, but he is derby material.

IMA MAROON Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 No issue with that at all. The overspending since Levein's days has been ludicrous. I agree. The overspending was ludicrous but it was enjoyable and filled the stands. It was great bringing in top players like Janny and Fyssas. It was great turning down ?300,000 from Celtic for Hartley but it meant giving him top wages. It was great turning down ?2.5 million from Fulham (He must be made of gold)for Gordon. There were the terrible buys like Makela and Beslija, what a waste of money, but if it is over it is over. If we have to get back to normal and spend nothing then so be it.

pupstersajambo Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Just received an email from a fellow Jambo who was as chuffed to bits after meeting a certain Mr Kingston in Bar Roma at 2108hrs precisely last night and even got his autograph for his two young kids. Would tend to blow the OP's account of him being on a flight to Alicante. That aside, please continue to debate the merits of whether or not he's good enough!!

bighusref Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Value for money isn't the question here. The question is should we leave out one of our most gifted players from the biggest game of the season. It's a ridiculous notion. Kingston is a hugely gifted football player, unfortunately those gifts have not appeared on a football pitch all too often recently. His ability is not in question, his heart is. I would not play him, honest. I would rather play a team where the eleven want to win than one hugely talented footballer that strolls about and does not give a monkeys. IMO, dropping him could be the kick up the bum he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_vlad Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Just my view but I think we could lose kingston of our substanstial wage bill Bring in somebody on 5k a week and get more from him week in week out. He does not do enough week in week out to earn his wages I think. My examples would be Paul hartley and colin cameron ps he missed two sitters against killie KINGSTON IS ON 5 K a year ! Nothing ****es me of more than the 15 k nonesense that is stouted on here and in the stands ! The 15 k was in ****ing dollors ! his basic is 5 k !
