    Well, go on then. Tell me how I was trolling with that post.

    It can only be the ‘big team’ comment you’re disputing, as Tierney is on record saying he was considering an apprenticeship near the end of his days as a youth player due to failing to make an impact.

    Fair play to him and hope he has a good career.

    To be honest I wouldn't class him as an ex player as I only saw a couple of minutes here and there.

    Can't miss what I never had.

    You thinking their situations are the same. They aren’t.

    You sure about that …. We had to tell Robertson and hickey they were surplus because they would have no chance of game time because of tierney

    No, I stated why their situations aren’t the same to someone who was likening the pair.

    Honest to *. The nerve of some of the morons who hurl abuse at me.

    I’ll take Tierney’s word for it. Check out his interview with Simon Ferry.

    Robertson is about three years older than Tierney.

    Can't imagine we'd ever have released a 15 year old and also told a 8 year old that they've no future at the club because of a 12 year old KT.

    He said they were different ya doughball.

    One stayed and won trophies, one left at the first sniff.

    You said they were the same because they both left at the first sniff… but that’s not true is it.

    One brought in millions and is regularly playing for Arsenal. One left for * all and mighy never see regular game time.

    You’re not that stupid surely.

    So he’s comparing them. They also both left at the first offer of a top club.

    I’m going to put you on ignore now. Let’s not ruin another thread with the banal, abusive drivel that your frustrated type pollute any thread I post in with.

    Tierney didn't leave at the first offer from a big club. He had interest from Arsenal prior to when he actually left for them and he stayed.

    Hicky is 20




    Robertson is 28


    Confused as to why we told them they were surplus because of KT

    Also let's be honest.

    A celtic board where old Pistol Pete is all powerful, ain't ever * turning down record fees for a LB.

    They get the bid which I am sure is a record at the time and they will be pushing him out the door whether he likes it or not.

    He said in his recent interview with that Currie lad that he knew the club were going to accept a bid for him, and at that time it felt like the right time for all parties for him to move on.

    And quite rightly, we mismanaged that Bhoy to the extent he thought he may need to retire. He’s still suffering the effects of it.

    We showed a lack of care for his career that irks me to this day

    I remember him saying he shouldn't be playing or was playing through agony and injections..

    Some games you could visibly see how uncomfortable he was moving..

    Was a disgrace really..

    There was a Hun game when Lennon came in he could barely move, and was one of his only appearances for months before or after…

    It was Rodgers that done the damage though

    Edit: honestly destroying them. He'll get a full cap within a year..

    Just noticed he came on for Liverpool's first team again and got an assist for Nunez within 5 minutes against Milan..
