Falkirk.

Where were you the other night when it took him less than ten minutes to register at Champions League level ?

We needed to know who the opposition were & where were you ?

[tetsujin1979]

Falkirk.

The Falkirk that have won five out of five in the Scottish Championship this season, went unbeaten in Scottish League One last season, and knocked out Premiership side Hearts in the last round of the the League Cup?
That Falkirk?

Ah in fairness tets, let's not start talking up unbeaten seasons in the Scottish Third Tier as if it makes them an impressive team. Conor Sammon scored twice against them in the last game of last season for example.

For Idah, it's two goals at a time they were needed (which is good) against a side who'd certainly be English fourth tier at best; maybe even non-league (which is worth pointing out).

And if it helps him develop a goalscoring habit, then I'm fine with him scoring against sides like Falkirk when the chips are down.

We have a lovely habit of trying to justify every decent performance. We all know that football throws up strange cup results and lower division teams can beat better ones. That's a relatively good lower division Scottish team who Celtic were in a difficult spot against until Idah got the goals. He has a nice habit of getting some timely important goals since he went there last season. It ok to enjoy and not have the constant navel gazing of trying to assess just how much it matters cos of the standard of the opposition.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to note the opposition. It's a fairly big factor like.

Yeah but if he didn't score against them there'd be complaints too

[CraftyToePoke]

The point here isn't Falkirk lads, they're weak by comparison and he'd need to be scoring against them. The point is how absolutely low & lousy it was to pop up here today with that contribution while ignoring the lads goal in the CL in midweek.

If you're going into hypotheticals, it's probably a sign your argument isn't great too begin with...

I think Crafty's point is much more reasonable

Huh? My point is simple, there are those that complain no matter what he does. We are allowed to fcukin enjoy him scoring no matter who it's against

Yep - and we're also allowed point out that tets' post wasn't quite the gotcha he thought it was, and that the standard of the opposition is absolutely worth a mention.

Glad you put him in his place, fair play to you.
