I have no problem with Seve playing as an auxiliary CH against the Infirm, even at home, but against EVERyONE else we should try to be on the front foot.

 

and we come to the crux of the matter

The football is fucking brutal at times but usually when that is the case most folk in the stands agree that there would be less chance of it being so poor if certain players, such as seve, were played in their optimum positions. 

 

Maybe we are doing as well as we can expect, however too often JC seems to put the players out in nonsensical formations and make bizarre substitutions.  As has been pointed out by yourself, TF, our players are fucking stupid, and the likes of Tuesday's formation was always going to result in a dull stalemate.  The frustration comes from the fact that we had a perfectly good XI selected to play 442.  In fact we were going to play 442 until JC decided we needed to combat the threat of St Mirren and change our formation.

 

Further frustration comes from the fact that the SPL is chronic this season, yet we're fucking about in midtable.  The number of matches we have thrown away at home this year is unacceptable, and too often JC's reliance on the wrong players and wrong formations has contributed to this.

 

The thing is as much as I can't be bothered with JC anymore, and find that our games, more often than not fucking shite I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us finish the season with a European place and a Scottish Cup run (of sorts), meaning, ultimately a successful season.  Yet I'll still have this nagging doubt that it could, meh should, have been better if it wasn't for JC.

50% of any league shouldn't be in a relegation battle.  The league needs expanding.

For the first time in years everyone has something to play for come the halfway point and yer complaining?

 

Would you rather there were 3 or 4 teams sat in mid table with no real danger of relegation and no chance of making the UEFa cup?

No, I would rather there were 3 or 4 teams sat in mid table with no real danger of relegation!  :thumbsup:

With so many fearing the drop, there will be too many teams trying not to lose games instead of trying to win them.

Not any more! :thumbsup:

 

Continuing to laugh at United, saw a link to this story from the Guardian on BBC:

 

"Craig Levein's Tannadice revolution is gathering pace, writes Ewan Murray"

 

Not any more. Ewan Murray's a complete wanker anyway, and a Jambo. His match report (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jan/18/aberdeen-celtic1) suggests we didn't deserve to win. At least he gave Mulgrew man of the match.
