Read that Waghorn has scored a penalty every 190 MINUTES ( just over every 2 games) so get on penalty awarded at 5/ 2 in tonight's game as they will need help now Hibees have closed the gap, and if it is the usual "unbiased" Scottish referee go for an ordering off as cherry on the cake at 7/ 2.

When you look at the shambles which is the SFA, regarding our cup tie with East Kilbride, you wouldn't totally rule out a penalty being awarded to sevco, and a red card given, if a Morton player is flagged offside.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 19:20:14
That is not to mention the one or ones? he has missed Tim I have been trying to get the stats on the amount of penalty's they have had over the last 3 years of there existence but can't find it I am sure its more than any other club in British football maybe Europe.

Watchin soccer Saturday on sky always thought his name was waghorn pen!?!?

Noticed this previously as well tim but without checking I reckon most are given at sevco park as the refs have to give them an advantage and not upset the 40000 glory hunters.

Hearing hamilton saying that they are unable to host cup game next weekend as it, s being used. You could, nt make it up. I wonder if anyone at sfa bothered to ask hamilton before announcing it.

Play it at celtic park. Gives their players a once in a lifetime experience and give them all tHe money as well, that would be a fantastic gesture by the club if EK wanted to.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I don't know why they don't switch it to CP and charge £10 for adults and £5 for kids. The only downside to that is the Zombies who are planning to go to the match as EK supporters, our toilets, stewards and kiosk workers have been safe for years now.}

25 Jan 2016 22:00:09
Good point ed but hopefully they have a massive game against Alloa or the like on the same day!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - They've got Kilmarnock at home the previous day.}

25 Jan 2016 22:34:49
Now Ed, that game will be one big zombiefest how do they tell the difference between they set of fans pmsl?

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Just like they normally do, by their LOL numbers of course.}

You could not make it up, the gurus at the SFA, those wonderful upstanding defenders of Scottish football, NEVER checked that New Douglas Park was available, they were too busy congratulating themselves on how they had limited the amount of money 2 of their member clubs could make to do due diligence and check the stadium could host the tie.
What's the odds the bold Campbell asks Sevco if they want to make some extra cash? 50,000 crowd King and his cronies will have already counted their cut down to the last penny.

Im hoping buying fletcher and the pointless loans of the man city teenagers isn't seen as some sort of softener for selling griffiths . How much an offer would the board say they couldn't turn down for Griffiths. . would fellow fans be happy with a deal such as this with a figure of 10/ 12 million recieved for griffiths?

Believable2 Unbelievable3

25 Jan 2016 11:56:09
There will be no 10 million offer for griffiths u think he's a cracking wee striker he should be Scotland's Main Striker before that imposter fletcher but u must have had some weekend if u think someone will offer that.

Agree0 Disagree1

25 Jan 2016 12:01:46
I wouldn't put anything past this current board, if they think that they can get good money for Griffiths, and a couple of loan signings would still win us the league, then I'm sure that's what they would want to do, they think it's good business sense.
Whether Griffiths himself would want to go is something else though, he had a spell with Wolves and it didn't work out, so now he's probably the most settled he's been in his career, would he want that upheaval again?
The trouble is these days it's generally money which is the deciding factor with modern footballers.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 12:16:52
Just to clarify in my post I meant I think he is a cracking wee striker and should be Scotland's main striker I noticed its says u!

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 13:21:43
Couldn't have been as good as yours ryan . I never said he was worth any price . I was asking what price would the board or fans consider a offer they couldn't refuse and threw in a big figure as a starting g point to see if people woould sell at that. what figure would make you say . OK take fletcher and sell griffiths.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 13:36:47
Aye Ryan! but comparisons to YOUR Waghorn are laughable, they are poles apart (even leagues) ! pmsl :-)

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 14:42:54
Jamie? a didn't make a comparison or bring down the player a said u won't get 10 million for him I think he's a good striker do u think he's a worth 10 million?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 16:06:04
Given what some players go for I think he's worth 10m.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 16:09:06
Ryan, No a made the comparison because recently the two HAVE been compared in the one sentence

I never mentioned 10 Million? If he is under the length of contract he is how much do you think it would take to prize him away? How much do you think Waghorn is worth?

Me? £5-£6 mill for LG at least

No more than a million for your Waghorn (y)

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 16:18:49
Do you think Griffiths is better than Ross McCormack Ryan? Middlesbrough have just had an £8 million bid for him knocked back, and he's nearly five years older! So going on those stats you could actually argue Griffiths is worth £15/ £20 million!

Agree0 Disagree2

25 Jan 2016 16:21:07
He is better than Hooper and he went for about 5-6M, so who knows how much we could get. No doubt our board have a valuation (probably inflated) and if any club come and meet it, then Griffiths will be punted whether he likes it or not.

Personally speaking I would like to keep him as he keeps improving. He now does a lot of work of the ball, his link up play has improved, he has improved his heading ability and I have noticed that he is starting to score with the right as well as his favoured left.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 17:14:24
I don't think we would get anymore than 1.5 million for him because of the league he plays in if next season he continues a good goal scoring record his value would go up I would imagine! yes I would have griffiths over McCormack any day of the week but am sure u would agree the market down there is ridiculous they would happily offer that sort of money for a player of a rival club but probably wouldn't offer that for a player up here because of the standard of opposition they are playing against that's my opinion on it nothing to do with the player he is the best striker up here and by far the best scottish striker and should be a automatic start only strachan can answer y he plays a over rated clown before him!

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 17:57:54
1.5 MILL! you hving a laugh?

whose still hungover from the weekend noo lol :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 18:20:03
Delphic you can't compare him to a striker in England and come up with a realistic price tag that way I'm afraid. The price of McCormack is based on the fact that Championship teams make so much money they can afford to reject 8/ 10/ 12 million quid whereas that amount would go a whole lot further for us due to lack of TV revenue so would be far more tempting to our board. The price really isn't necessarily what a suitor thinks the player is worth, it's more to do with how much their current club can afford to knock back. That's the way I see it anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 18:29:41
Anymore than I think it says! alcohol free weekend for me fresh as today! ill wait till next season to judge his worth but I have no doubt he will score goals in premier league! ill leave the comparing to u Jamie then again come next season u will probably say a said something else n make a fool of yourself again 😂😂😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 18:31:59
No I absolutely agree about the leagues in England, and the prices they pay for mediocrity! That's not the point though, the point is Celtic have him on a contract until he's 30 so its irrelevant what their managers rate him at! All that matters is what Celtic value him at, if he had a year or so on his contract we'd struggle for a few million, that's not the case though! Every one of our players is for sale, and I don't mind who we sell as long as we re-invest the money! The problem we had was Ki, Hooper, Van Dijk and Wanyama all had between 1 year and 2 years on their contracts! All our assets are on long contracts, and we are in a healthy position financially! If James Forrest and Mulgrew leave then I'm cool with that! We also need a bit more quality and someone to play with/ compete with Griffiths!

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 18:33:58
I am more worried to see us linked with another loan deal for the Man City boy Roberts. I really hope it's only paper talk. It's totally pointless signing him. He will be gone by the time the CL qualifiers come around. We don't need him taking up one of our own players places who need game time. As I say I hope it's paper talk but then again I wa praying we wouldn't sign Carlton Cole and we did!

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 18:39:44
And by the way Ryan! I asked you also how much LG was worth which you failed to answer still having concentration/ counting issues? pmsl.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 18:58:08
I can count just fine! ill give u yer 5/ 6 million if u want a figure then maybe I'll stretch to 7 and a think Lawell would consider that offer if it came in! so u happy at that Jamie? or will we keep it going till a offer comes to see who's right? and since am 1 up on u from the last debate you need the win lol👍🏿.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 19:34:50
LG ain't going nowhere, Nice to know you are "fresh" no excuses then eh pmsl? given even that you had to clarify your initial point pmsl

you were not right last time I indicated you had joined a thread which you did and you had forgot!

And you will be wrong again this time because no offer will come that will trigger his release

But can you count past 7 or did you need to rely on my signage pmsl or is it just far too "taxing" for you as I said at the time no wonder Ed blames the schools (y)

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 19:47:55
U where proved wrong mate end of u said a said something that I knew a hadnt and I told u my opinion on the matter u said I was talking nonsense I defo said it the Ed sorted it out n left u with a wee bit of egg on yer face as they say! ill leave it at that I'll not blame your school for u failing to recognise the truth and probably still think you where right unless your school taught talking 💩💩.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 19:58:11
"U" do you mean you? pmsl a rest my case

Don't recall Ed leaving me with "egg on my face" I pointed out later that you were involved in that thread and I was right as per

Last time it was Stokes you were on about now it's LG you got many more interests in Celtic players as a Sevco fan?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 20:03:41
Will never tire Ryan of putting you down, Just like your team I like to look down on you ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 09:59:16
We are obviously on a good run, with certain players full of confidence and others finding a bit of form. This has happened in previous seasons at the turn of the year - especially without the pressures of European football [unfortunately].
My one concern is how much of a soft centre we still have with teams strolling through the middle and invariably scoring against us.
As I say it's not so bad when we are scoring a few each week, but there will be games when we might have to fight for a narrow victory and we really need to address our 'soft centre' and I know Gordon made an important save on Saturday, but I still think he is one of the main problems.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

25 Jan 2016 11:12:25
I'd want us to be in for a better keeper come the summer. Gordon isn't as good as our last goalie nor does he have the potential to be.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 11:38:47
There are still defensive frailties but when we push so high up it's to be expected. I'm hoping big Erik has a voice as there seems to be no one taking charge in defense at times.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 18:36:40
Cmc the issue is that if we play that high up the park we will always be a bit vulnerable and we can blame the centre backs all we want, but if we are so high up then there is no one in front of them to help out. One reason I don't like the system.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 09:48:20
Johnnymac, I agree. I like the system though. I would rather score 4 and concede 2 than win 1 - 0.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 18:13:45
RD set's up his team to attack and when they are playing well like just now, their movement and speed of pass is easy on the eye If we are creating 6-8 very good chances I am sure most of us will accept the opposition getting a chance or two . In fact the little bit of space in front of our goals may just give our opponents a little bit of encouragement to attack a little more which in turn give our front men more room.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2016 09:55:34
I think cfc should get Michael O'h as he can adds something different and cam take on a player and provide a decent cross unlike forrest gump.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

25 Jan 2016 11:19:43
Was thinking that myself but think he's all set for sevco.

Agree0 Disagree1

25 Jan 2016 12:23:45
He's a celtic lad and would jump through hoops to join.

Agree0 Disagree1

25 Jan 2016 12:29:17
I doubt Saints are willing to take ginger bottles.

Agree2 Disagree1

25 Jan 2016 13:12:24
If we can shunt either Boerigter, Forrest, Mulgrew and/ or Ciftci out the door it would make room and free funds for such a move?

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 18:19:50
It's obvious that we cannot punt Boerigter and Clitci and others we don't want for first team duties . A couple of weeks ago many fans were calling for McGregor to be punted as well, yet he has been one of our best players in January . We are lucky the manager pays no attention to us .

Agree0 Disagree0
