Heard of Bardsley, didn't he used to play for Newcastle/Middlesborough. must be getting on a bit now.

The rest are totally unknown to me and I would also imagine you.

Google is your friend:LOL:

Being unknown to you doesn’t say much as you consistently show your lack of knowledge of any football really

Would suspect anyone who has watched the Prem would know those players names - all players who have played in the Prem for a good period and not just as Burnley.

But your initial point is what was being discussed- Patterson isn’t really doing much in the Prem and the defenders on loan to Hearts are doing well because they have taken a big step down to play there

Is he really starring ? His team are in the bottom three ( below Burnley who are not in the relegation zone ) , he has been playing as a striker and scored 3 goals ? Not exactly ripping up trees. Your logic doesn’t seem to equate in any way shape or form .

And yes Burnley do have 5/6 defenders better than who they send out on loan

Maybe wrongly reported but I read it was three goals in the last four games. If accurate it would mean a fair few trees are down & maybe put a different slant on the performance from a guy who isn't a striker

He played as a striker for Hearts for quite a few games so he is used to the position,
His main position is right back.
Burnley started him there then moved him to midfield then attack.
He has scored three of the seven goals scored so far in the league by Burnley this season,
I would imagine he is the EPL clubs top scorer.;)

Might be interesting to see if McLeish starts him there for Scotland's next game. So many of his strikers injured or not wanting to play

Do you mean Cardiff?
 
He also started as a striker throughout his youth and first games in the senior squad was moved back to right back were he played for hearts and signed for cardiff, Warnock is playing him there cause the hammer throw style he always plays and Patterson fits right in to that type of team
 
ah - now that was a good team. Still didn't get that far in the WC or ECs...

Aff tap o' ma heid...I think (anyone know where Dalgleish was?)

Roughie, Gough, McLeish, Aitken, Leighton, Malpas, Speedie, Archibald, Miller, MoJ
Bett (what a left peg), Souness, McCall, Strachan

Zander Clark for the Scotland #1 shirt I say :)

Neither he nor Richard Foster given a chance in a Scotland shirt because they play for a diddy team?

I would certainly say Zander Clark is a future Scotland number 1. I was very surprised that they called up Jamie McDonald ahead of Clark who is much younger and in very good form. Get him in and give him experience of the international set up and atmosphere. Good learning curve.
 
Aye good probability.

Two Scottish clubs go bust, demoted down the league, rebuild to top six standard.
Last year one makes a £1.8m profit whilst also building a new stand.
The other makes a £14.5m loss. buying humdrum players it cannot afford to pay.

11 call offs and McLeish manages to pick his strongest Scottish team yet.;)
Fabulous goal by Forrest, nice fitba from the team.

That Diddy from Kilmarnock should never have been at right back, he's dire so anything was an upgrade on him. He also didn't have the problem of trying to shoehorn Tierney into the side.

Fraser should start EVERY game, and Forrest (always think he flatters to deceive) played well too.
 
Four teams have now topped the SPFL this year so far. Well done Killie.
Heading up to Christmas and only 4 points between the top four with St Johnstone and Aberdeen closely behind.

Great stuff with Steve Clark and Tommy Wright putting down managerial markers.
Gerrard doing Okish whilst Lennon seems to have lost the plot with Hibs, 2nd to 8th in 5 weeks
Awful refereeing all round, some eye watering decisions over the last few weeks.

Never a dull moment.
