  1. I can't agree with that atall!

     

    I thought Mair had a very conposed game

     

    Aye, what could Mair have done in the game?  I don't think he put a foot wrong and he did what was required when put under pressure, got rid of the ball or played it to another player in red.

     

    The centre of defence was pretty solid, Mair and Diamond did all that was asked of them.  In actual fact, defensively we did alright last night, it was going forward that was the problem.  As soon as the defenders played the ball forward the attacking players had no f*cking clue what to do with it.  I turned to my mate after about 10 minutes and said that we were lacking an urgency in the game.  The time it was taking them to spread play was painful to watch.  For some unknown reason the majority were guilty of holding onto it for way too long.

     

    Aluko tried to stay as wide as possible for most of the game to stretch play and did alright when he had it.  The amount of time he was standing free shouting for the ball but not getting it was unbelievable.  But again the movement when Aluko did get the ball was shocking.  No angled runs across defenders, no runs in behind the defence, no-one screaming to collect the ball.  No-one willing to stand up and take the game by the scruff of the neck.

     

    It was horrible watching so called professional players stand in the middle of a pitch looking for a pass whilst his team-mates just stood around scratching their arses.

     

    I really felt sorry for Kerr as there was a number of times he had the ball looking for a pass and there was absolutely no movement at all from Mackie/Maguire/Smith/Severin.  I can't even think of a time where Severin ran past him to give him the angle.  Even the fullbacks would run up in support then just stop when they got level with the player on the ball.  There was absolutely no drive or direction from anyone bar Kerr, Aluko and Diamond late in the game.

     

    This continued for God knows how long until we started playing the long ball, an absolutely disastrous tactic considering we had Maguire and Mackie up-front.

     

    F*ck sake, I've just wound myself up again... :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

     

     

  2. Of course. But surely our most experienced player doesn't need to be told by a younger team mate to get the players going, about 70 minutes into the match?

     

    You're quoting one comment made by Diamond towards Severin in 120+ minutes of football?  I was actually suprised at how much Severin shouted during the game yesterday as I was under the belief he was quiet on the pitch.

     

    It doesn't matter who is on the pitch though, they're all responsible for lifting their team-mates.

  3. I was in row B in the South Stand. You can pretty much hear everything the players close to the touchline are saying. On this occasion it was "get them fucking going".

     

    Fair enough.  :thumbsup:  All I'd say is that it's not just the captain's job to get players going.  There is only so much a captain can do...

  4. There was one point last night where Zander was screaming at Seve to get the lads going. Was quite embarassing to watch. Should be doing this with no encouragement from younger players.

     

    How do you know what was said?

  5. I have to agree, Aluko wasn't great by any means but he doesnt deserve to be one of the players singled out. We looked a better team when he was on the ball

     

    I actually lost count of the amount of times that Kerr and Aluko had the ball, were looking for someone to pass it too and there was absolutely no movement from the surrounding players, or even a simple desire to want the ball.  Too many players hid last night and didn't step up when it mattered.

     

    Aluko was one of the few who did.

  6. And where the fuck were Mackie and Smith when it came to penalties???

     

    Was about to say the same where was Mackie Smith and Wright????

     

    Jesus f*ck, do you lads actually understand the game of football?

     

    Hughes appears to me to be a straight talking but very honest guy. Whether he talks pish or not isn't the issue,

     

    This makes no f*cking sense although retarded statements like this are what we've come to expect from you.  :thumbsup:

     

    I used to be quite like JC before today.

     

    You've lost weight?  ;)

     

    It wasn't even hitting the corner flag mate, it was going well wide, I was right in line.

     

    Were you sat in with the Dunfermline fans?

  7. Zander was the only player that actually ran at defenders and got past them

    That says alot more about our "flair" players than it does about Zander

     

    Aluko was woeful tonight.

     

    Have to say I don't agree with this in the slightest, the only time anything happened for us was when Aluko had the ball.  He was one of the few positive players on the night, the others being Diamond and Kerr.

     

    At least Aluko was always looking for the ball and when he did get it he tried to be positive. 

  8. You miss the point or on wind up ;):)

     

    Me?  Never...  ;)

     

    I'm gonna spam a Man Utd board with gloats!!!  :thumbsup:

     

    See the bit where it says, Football Chat - Any non-AFC-related football banter , what do you think that means?  A forum to talk about gangs of guys chasing other gangs of guys up and down streets, stopping when they get too close?  ;)

  9.  

    I know.. imagine taking an interest in other leagues when our own is so amaz... oh wait.. nevermind.  ::)

     

    :hammer:

     

    Jager has no interest in hooligans the Dutch league.  Glasgowdon isn't a Real Mallorca Madrid fan.

     

    We only love Scottish football on here. LOLZ

     

    ;)
