Both Malec and the other Eastern European lad we've got in to have a look at played up front and scored 2 apiece. Other lad is a natural winger who can also play up top. Lyons was also highly impressive. Quick! Sign them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balmullo Bud Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 The early signs of our transfer business, in and out is quite exciting. We are definitely going to have a different look to the team and the new players/trialists look interesting prospects. The overhaul is definitely in motion. Oran and the back room staff are not looking to paper over the cracks. Interesting times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oran Kearney was able to field his first team who proved too strong for the young hoops who included Karamoko Dembele and Armstrong Oko-Flex. With over 25 players in Dubai with Brendan Rodgers’ first team squad Tommy McIntyre was left with thin pickings which included a trialist defender. The 1st report sounds great, the 2nd makes it sound like we were playing against boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like excuses to me, in order placate the green bigot hordes that are crying into their Buckfast after such a hiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, how come they make mention of Celtic having to field a trialist, but it was our first team with 2 trialists in it? Usual balanced reporting I see.

I don't disagree . . . it is funny how to spin your excuses BUT Playing their under 23s is a lot different to playing their 1st team IT was a bounce game and it let our new guys and trialist show what they could do the 1st time they were out together..

Slovan Liberec official website said he has played 31 league games in 3 seasons and a few European games as well. 15 out of 30 league games last season. 9 out of 18 this season.

John Gotti Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I don't disagree . . . it is funny how to spin your excuses BUT Playing their under 23s is a lot different to playing their 1st team IT was a bounce game and it let our new guys and trialist show what they could do the 1st time they were out together..The original quote stated it was their U23s though. Either way it is good to get a look at these guys in action before Oran offers them a deal.......... take note Mr. Stubbs [emoji14] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never hid that it was anything other than a team of young guys. Absolutely no spin on any part of my assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santaponsasaint Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Wasn't really about a result. It was more getting new players to gel with the ones we have left. So in that respect it was good to give them a run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Urquhart Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hopefully the big new Romanian centre half can get up and score a couple of headers from corners and set pieces. Need some height in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the BBC have made that mistake, without checking other easily accessible sources, demonstrates the absolutely shocking standards of journalism there.
