NorthernLights Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Lovell have to do exactly to get a game? Go to this website -> http://www.ukdps.co.uk/HowToApply.html and change his name to Darren Mackie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penfold Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Stop being such a quiet and "strange" character but then try to avoid fines and being dropped when he actually speaks up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeedTheBall Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I remember a Dunfermline supporting colleague of mine warning me when Calderwood took over that Caldwerwood has certain players that he'll play no matter what - basically he has his favourites and to be prepared to go on losing and winning runs and prepare for bafflement and inconsistency. Well, fk me...at the time I remember thinking pinch of salt and stupidfuckinbitterparsfan but now...uglyfuckinknowitallwhosupportsashiteteamthatIhopewesignnofurtherfuckinplayersfromwhilstCalderwoodisstillmanager...

Mackie's ace! Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 ok - so who here can tell me what Lovell did on the training ground this week? Anyone? No someone must know why he is so deserving of a game? Anyone? I don't - I wasn't there... I also don't know whether he has the stamina to play 10 minutes of football - never mind a whole game... but I wasn't on the training ground either. I know I'm feeling ill after Munich so maybe Steve "Great White Hope" Lovell is too? Only one of our strikers to score in the last 3 games?

Mackie's ace! Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Aye but we lose the ones he doesn't play in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalsharpie Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 did we not lose those games though, when he was played? [edit 1 - I don't even know if I'm joking with this statement - had some young fanny arguing with me about this in munich edit 2 - I probably am joking] Ach - I just dinnae think he's the answer - but it would be boring if we all thought the same. I'm a bit worried we dinnae have a half decent youth striker coming through though... how come Killie can manufacture decent strikers to punt and we can't? Er..I think it may have something to do with calderwoods dismantling of our yoof system or summink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 He's scored more from the bench than he has done when he's started. His last couple of starts (which were a while ago now!) he has looked lacklustre and uninterested. However, he should start on Wednesday.

capitalsharpie Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 You would think though that a player facing the axe would show a bit of enthusiasm for two reasons: 1) To prove to your manager that you are actually worth a new contract 2) To make yorself noticed by other clubs to continue your career in a more positive way.

BobbyBiscuit Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Why do people keep saying "Lovell is not the answer"? Not the answer to what? Nobody thinks he's going to come in and score a barrell load every game while amazingly helping the inept defence to keep the ball out of our goal. The point is surely that he's done enough to be given a start - or rather Mackie and Miller have not done enough to keep their places. The fact Maguire gets on ahead of him and he has no threat about his play at all beggars belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 His last couple of starts (which were a while ago now!) he has looked lacklustre and uninterested. However, he should start on Wednesday. He was fantastic in the Falkirk replay, and the few starts he had before that, he ended up as a lone striker in a target man role where he still managed to create what would have been 2 goals against Utd. To me, he always looks too eager to score if anything as he knows if he doesn't score within 45 minutes, he'll be hooked and won't get a game for another 2 months as is what usually happens.

capitalsharpie Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Good point. Another example of the tango man not sorting his side out. Not only are our defence not gelling, but he hasn't given our forwards a chance to develop anything like a partnership. It must be more than a bitty soul destroying knowing you are yet again the only player up front with shadows to chase and little time to make an impact and assert yourself.

Guest BTR Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 He was fantastic in the Falkirk replay And in the original 2-2 draw as well, as you alluded to, he was excellent. Comes on and scores against Bayern and is left benched for the entire game yet again at Killie where the favoured strikers are Lee "1 goal in 12 games" Miller Darren "no goals since Dnipro" Mackie Chris "no goals since December 2006" Maguire And here's me thinking that football is a simple game about scoring goals. Where have I been going wrong all this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy_Don Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'm not even arguing that he needs to start... but for him not to even get on against Killie having just scored against Bayern Munich is unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
