  1. we had a few spells where we were very slick but a bag of flour could have been slick against the county defence, the rb in particular. The big stand outs for me were Goodwillie and Taylor. I'm starting to understand why DM is going with him over Rooney when playing one up front, he just brings a bit more invention to the play. Some of his passes yesterday were really sharp and incisive and he works the channels far more than Rooney whilst still appearing in the box when he should be. The two of them together was interesting to see but it remains to be seen how they get on against a team with a defence that can not only mark to a reasonable standard but also retain the ball in midfield. I'm not convinced yet for that reason but there were hopeful signs there for sure. Nice to see Monokana, he got involved as best he could but didn't really have enough time to get going. That said he showed he has an eye for a pass with the ball through to DG that resulted in him hitting the post. I've been saying for years we need a bit more guile in the team and the pass and the run was encouraging from that POV. Pawlett had a good game, have to say I really prefer him out wide than behind the striker. I love the way he trys to cut in and burst into the box, he's starting to get very proficient at making defenders very uneasy which can only bode well. Mcginn was a bit of an unsung hero, covered a lot of grass and his movement made space for others as well as two fantastic delivery's for the first 2 goals. He's a good un Hayes had a good game but it was hard to assess his defensive capabilities as little defending was necessary but it's a no brainer he should start there over Considine. With the way that logan plays a more attacking capable lb brings a greater balance to the side. Taylor looked very composed and had Arquin in his pocket the whole game. I'm starting to think he may be a real find.
  2. In 3-0 dons
  3. I'm no conspiracy theory nut for the record. This warrants investigation http://youtu.be/xBZi6HqDwcQ
  4. I feel completely heartbroken manc. Sold out by a bunch of fucking cowards who lapped up all the bulshit from the media. Westminster will punish us now, they always do when we try to rebel. Truly this is one of the worst days of my life
  5. Since the Sunday times poll a week ago there has been a big upsurge in media bullshit. I found this article a breath of fresh air, i really did. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/16/media-shafted-people-scotland-journalists If it's a yes vote it really will come against all odds.
  6. From the outset of this referendum a few years ago I thought that it would be a lot closer than people were predicting at the time but ultimately a no vote. The past week or so I've actually started to dare to believe a little, this really could happen!
  7. When joe left I had hopes we would be getting someone else in, that said we can still sign free agents so there may be someone to come in yet. Personally I think we are better than last year, zolaI is gone for a start, and there is competition for all places bar fb. would have loved to see shinnie come in but that's clearly not happening till next summer. We have to hope Robertson steps up like low has
  8. Must be shit to be a arsenal fan, in the space of 24 hours you go from in the running for falcao to signing danny welbeck
  9. Joe sho to falkirk on loan till January.
  10. Hee was on sportscene last night and wants to play a bit more before going into management
  11. Ha, she must be stoked! Yeah it was 14/1 initially but betfair put a price rush on it when I placed it al, they're quite good for that.
  12. Got a staggering 18/1 on 1-0 maribor last night, only chucked a few quid on it but it certainly made the result all the sweeter!
  13. No Fucking Way http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/crystal-palace-next-manager-latest-palace-consider-ally-mccoist--exclusive-9686808.html
  14. To compare gazza to Jean luc is like comparing a pre vw skoda to the Enterprise E. I almost feel sorry for him then I remember he was a hun and scored that goal against Scotland. Some things are hard to get over.....
  15. wonder what odds you would have got on Pulis being the first epl casualty of the season :o :o http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/14/tony-pulis-crystal-palace-leaves
  16. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28797122 This could get a bit embarrassing for UEFA yet
  17. Decent enough performance tonight though would like to see us shoot a little bit more. It will be interesting to see how the djab's get on at the tattiebowl on Saturday
  18. Poor goals to concede, fuck knows what Robson was playing at in the middle leading up to the second and Langfield should have been off his life waaaaaaay quicker. We are missing the width Hayes gives us big time today
  19. In Train Main Train 2-1 pee paw and Mcginniesta
  20. If we go out of Europe tomorrow we have an decent outside chance of finishing 1st I reckon
  21. There's going to be more?
  22. But surprised AS didn't try and bring the warsi resignation into it, could have been a bit of a game changer
  23. I'm glad we weren't humbled by them but I can't see us doing much against them at home. I'm at peace with that, I don't think we have the squad to play Thursday then Sunday for a few months without a massive adverse effect on domestic form. 6 European games is great experience for the squad and hopefully we will start the domestic campaign very strongly as a result. Also if the tims end up in the europa league we could really push them this season
  24. That is all well and good Dave but do you think the Huns would see it like that? "Where's your uk gone" "you're not British anymore" "we all agree, getting rid of the union was magic" would do their heads in imo
  25. happy days. Langfield made up for his error with a brilliant save with his legs. Delighted and also means I can go to all of the belladrum festival as the utd game will have to be put back a day at least
