VILLAMARV Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Thought I'd give a nod to Hearts today, not to wind up the visiting Hibs lot but because they beat Celtic 1-0 And like us notched up 2 wins in their first 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Gerrard fostering that famous scouse victim mentality at Rangers Quote Rangers defeated a "Champions League" team who showed them "no respect", said manager Steven Gerrard after the Ibrox side's Europa League win over Maribor. "They had confidence, they had ego, and they are devastated," Gerrard said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45216455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I hope he does well at Rangers and puts them back to where they belong. It's nice to see the SPL more challenging these days rather than the 2 horse race it had became years ago. Hibs, Hearts, looking stronger too.

Villan4Life Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Two of my many suggestions in January 2018 for summer when out of contract coming to fruition for St Mirren although i left the club last month 30.8.2018. McGugan, David Cotterill (he was on trial but fitness an issue) and Jackson was 3 of my suggestions out of couple of hundred. They are close to signing ex Walsall, Blackburn, Norwich and Walsall Striker Simeon Jackson who got a hat-trick against Dundee United in Trial game he should be signed today (Friday 28th Sept and could play Sat 29th Sept vs Hibs) he's already announced it on his twitter that signed for club. He hasn't been the best since leaving Norwich but could do a job if his attitude is right. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3261276/st-mirren-simeon-jackson-transfer-news-deal-hat-trick-bounce-game-oran-kearney/ Quote ST MIRREN are ready to offer Simeon Jackson a deal after he bagged a hat-trick in a bounce game. SunSport first revealed the Buddies had handed the ex-Blackburn and Norwich striker a trial. New boss Oran Kearney is desperate to beef up his attacking options and wanted to see Jackson, 31, in action. But the Paisley side will now move quickly to try to tie him up after he crashed in a treble in the friendly with Dundee United. Jackson – capped 49 times by Canada – has been without a club since leaving Walsall at the end of last season. If things go to plan he could become a Buddies player before the weekend and be considered for Saturday’s clash with Hibs. The other is 29 year old ex Forest, Watford and Sheff Wed midfielder Lewis McGugan. He is having a second week trial next week! https://www.the-gazette.co.uk/sport/16908572.oran-kearney-keen-on-simeon-jackson-and-lewis-mcgugan/ Quote Former Blackburn and Norwich forward Jackson has been handed the chance to impress on trial and took advantage by scoring a hat-trick in a training ground bounce game with Dundee United. Now Kearney has confirmed he is looking to push through signing talks with the 31-year-old Canada international. McGugan, 29, is also on the Buddies boss' radar after he was invited to train with Kearney's Paisley squad - but it appears former Fiorentina youth Cedric Gondo will not be joining the Saints squad. Kearney, who has signed goalkeeper Dean Lyness on a deal until the new year, said: "We had three trialists in but one has gone back. "However, Simeon Jackson at this point in time has done well and looked quite positive. He scored a hat-trick in a bounce game this week and we'd be keen to do something there. "Lewis McGugan is going to be with us for a week or so, so we'll see how that goes." Kearney also revealed he is looking to trim his squad. The former Coleraine boss was brought in earlier this month to clean up the mess made by Alan Stubbs, whose disastrous summer recruitment work saw him sacked just four games into the Ladbrokes Premiership season. And now the new Saints manager has confessed he has too many players for his liking. "It's a big squad we have," he said. "I think we're sitting around the 28, 29 or possibly even 30 mark. It's big and it's something we'll have to look at. "We're still getting to know everybody and I suppose working out a good profile of the squad. It's a massive job and we know that. We have our targets for the season and the key thing now is we all knuckle down. "The other key thing for me, having only been in the job a couple of weeks, was not to go in and make wholesale changes from day one based on being on the outside looking in. READ MORE: Kearney insists Premiership success will not happen overnight "But we're getting to the point now where we have a better understanding of the squad and it is something we're going to have to manage going forward. We've had a few bounce games the last few Tuesdays just to make sure I get a good look at the whole squad. "I wouldn't say getting the squad size down to a more manageable level is the priority right now as, at the end of the day, the players are contracted, but it might depend on how players feel if they are out of the squad for three or four weeks at a time. Then it might become their choice." Edited September 27, 2018 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew he woukd do well as he has a lot of contacts he can rely on on the game Did everyone think it would be a disaster? People probably hoped it would. Gerrard is a bit of a word removed and Rangers is a horrible club so they're a match made in heaven. But I think most people know that any half decent manager could get Rangers back to the "top". They're still the 2nd biggest club in Scotland by a massive margin so it was only ever a matter of time until they got back there. I imagine they'll be 2nd this year with Celtic winning it comfortably again. It was a good job for him to take. Bit of bravery by moving out of the English leagues but still a job where he's going to have some success as long as he does a half decent job.

VILLAMARV Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 So Aberdeen fans are being asked to get to a game at Hampden for a Sunday lunchtime kick off for the league cup semi's I see.

Villan4Life Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Simeon Jackson (Ex Gillingha, Norwich & Walsall) my suggestion to club that ended up signing for St Mirren and had impressive debut against Hibs last weekend and nearly scored! Adam Hammill (Ex Liverpool & Barnsley) another of my suggestions has signed for the club this week. Hammill is a massive coup and expect him to tear the league apart. Going to be watching the Aberdeen vs St Mirren match with interest this weekend see how both of them do. Both should do a very good job at the club fully expect both to be the two star players, both only on short term deals until January but option to extend to end of the season Have taken a massive interest in watching Scottish Football since last season.

I do respect you as tbh mate you are pretty much a statto guy so when i'm wrong (i'm pretty good with stats but you even better) you put me right Appreciate you clearing it up with me mate. We will agree to disagree. I reckon 10/12 for Jackson if gets to end of season. Looking like they might be relegated now. The club had Loan deals agreed by Villa for McKirdy & Lyden in August just before McKirdy was injured and Lyden went to Oldham!! As i said they would do a good job and then last minute my old boss changed his mind. Apologises just thought came across most things i posted. But i can see now you have an opinion all's good Edited October 6, 2018 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
