Danh1 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Can only think of Anderson going to Bristol Rovers as being a successful loan for one of our players. It’s time to get that Ashley apologist Shola out of the club as he’s clearly not having a positive impact on our young player’s development. Central midfield man ffs. Get him back here and have him on the bench over playing in that farmers league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Not looking the smartest loan move at the minute this, played out of position midweek then benched again. We should do more research on these shite fucking managers we’re handing players over to. Edited February 4, 2023 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I cant imagie the intention was ever really for him to be regularly playing weeks after he landed, like. Immediately getting minutes in his desired position and it being a loan as we'd generally understand it. He was here what, 10 days before he moved? Just being in and around a first team is more than enough. And he's just up the road and has international team mates there. Its just a settling in period, cant help but think those who are going "Oh this is useless" are being rather OTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads up for folk on here monitoring his progress - Kuol did very well for the second goal today and from what I hear seems to be enjoying his time in Scotland so far. The boy is incredibly raw though. Plays a bit like a schoolkid but one of those kids that isn't afraid to mix it. On a steep learning curve but his speed is immediately clear to see. Can you elaborate on how Scottish football is a mess, btw? Or is this just a lazy line as a substitute for lack of knowledge about the game?

Lazy line for sure, although the unchanging Celtic-Rangers monopoly of the SPL does dull the senses somewhat. Hopefully Hearts will one day soon put up a sustained challenge.

Hopefully Hearts will one day soon put up a sustained challenge. Thanks for the update on Kuol. After a difficult late 90s, early 2000s with the collapse of TV deals and sub-par foreign players, Scottish clubs are mainly in a healthy, financially stable position with majority scottish based squads, good stadiums and the highest attendance in europe by population. Celtic and Rangers are both managed by forward thinking coaches and most of the teams in the league try to play good football. The introduction of the pyramid system has seen the game improve at the lower levels. The national team is reaching or close to reaching major tournaments again and we are beginning to demand proper transfer fees for our domestic players as they go down and have decent levels of success e.g. Mcginn (Hibs), Robertson (Dundee United), Van Dijk, Tierney (Celtic), Patterson (Rangers) Mckenna (Aberdeen). Plus lots in the Championship - Dykes (Livingston) etc... We are lacking a lucrative TV deal that reflects the number of eyes our game actually gets. Hopefully with streaming and pay-per-view models changing the landscape again, we won't be beholden to the shitty, peicemeal coverage SKY pay for and give us due to them having us over a barrel after Setanta collapsed. There is a lot of really good stuff going on up here. Scotland only needs to compare ourselves with e.g. Danish, Austrian and Belgian leagues, rather than just being laughed and constantly called a mess by our bigger brothers down South in the EPL and the over-hyped English Championship. For a population of 5 million, it really is a highly entertaining, decent league with lots of intrigue. We just need Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen to get themselves going at the same time, unforutnately at least one of us is always in the proverbial mud for whatever reason.

It's a lazy line, I don't really follow Scottish football, just assume it's shit because the national team is shit.

No one in Scotland views Geordies as Little Englanders - a lot of love for you guys up here. Newcastle feels like a home from home. Our national team is good btw (unless you are comparing us to England which wouldn't be a fair comparison). We just need a proper goal-getter (I was hoping Ross Stewart could kick on but yeah...I'm sure you guys aren't too gutted about his current situation!) I think you guys have been linked with McTominay and Tierney in the last month or so? Can't be so bad.

Happy to continue to provide updates. He's an interesting one. Moments of serious potential with the boy. I know you guys might get frustrated that he doesn't get more minutes, but he's looking very raw. He's going to benefit from regularly coming for 20-30 minutes in front of 20,000 sold out stadium of proper British style supporters down his neck. If any of you have attended Tynecastle Stadium then you'll understand what I mean. Our training ground is the Oriam (joint funded for SFA and SRU). Basically a slightly smaller St Georges - he couldn't ask for better facilities. Edited February 4, 2023 by EdinburghKuol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Saw some discussion of Kuol staying on at Hearts next season and the possibility of playing next season. Wikipedia says 1st and 2nd place qualify for Champions League (or rather qualifiers for CL) and 3rd and 4th for Europa Conference qualifiers. Scotland does go in for Europa League?

Scottish Cup Winner = Europa League final qualifying round (and drop into Europa Conference group stages if this game is lost) However, if the Scottish Cup Winner is Celtic or Rangers then 3rd place gets the Europa League slot and 4th/5th get Europa conference qualifying rounds.
