My mind travelled back to the Tartan Army days - the days of Berti Vogts. Ya went to a game dispirited, with little belief of actually winning, sang yer hearts out - We'll be coming" - and then after fantastic pre match bonding - you stand / sit there for a couple of hours and you have to watch the direst garbage imaginable. You say / sing / state yer resentment and then rejoin yer peers in drowning yer sorrows. Well I loved the Hamilton trip - apart from the period between 14.50 and 17.50.
As fer the game I may surprise you by saying that the second half perfomance had positives and gives me hope of survival. The first half was wholly spoiled by Brewsters tactics but we deserved a point at least by the end and you could see that there was no lack of passion, determination and/or spirit. Hamilton were AWFUL and they beat us !!
ESSON :015: :D :P Had relatively little to do but showed a sense of urgency from the first touch to the very last - regularly bantered with the fans and applauded at the end.
ROSSCOE :021: :D :D :D :D My man of the match and now a TRUE LEGEND in my eyes. The man epitomised the old spirit. He gave his feckin all and how I wish he had scored late on. At the end he stormed off to the dressing room. I suspect he may have been a bit mad at the Brew chanting - on top of everything else - but he gave 110% yesterday and he showed that he is passionate about this club - RESPECT
MIHADJUKS :D :D :D Looks good fer the future - Clearly not match fit - so why was he started ?
MUNRO :D :D :D Best game of the season - Appeared to be relieved / released by the fact that he wasnt partnering Bambi or Maguire. Again made a B line to the support at the end - RESPECT
HASTINGS :D :D One question - why did he start ?
ROYSTER :D :D A bit of an invisible day - but why was he played wide, wide rite fer the first twenty minutes before being put back in to partner Duncan
COWIE :D :D :018: One question - same one as the last ten smileymometers - Where was he supposed to be playing ? I tried to keep an eye on him and from my perspective his position changed FIVE times in the first half - and none where he had an influence - why didnt he start wide, wide rite instead of Royster ?
DUNCAN :D :D :D Usual sturdy performance - unsung hero - and did he look cheesed off at being hooked or what ?
VIGURS :D :D ;) So we have a young man who is capable of taking over the playmaker role from Ian Black - so why play him on the wide, wide left - even putting Royster in central midfield before him.
MORAIS :D :D A bit Niculae - esque but that is not a bad thing. He isnt match fit and the conditions didnt suit either - he is not exactly the first pick for a relegation battle in a gale and driving wind. One for the future without a doubt BUT why did he start ?
BARROWMAN :D :D :thumb04: Personally I would have given Rooney a run before him but AGAIN - one look at the conditions and I would have had Barrowboy and Morais sitting it out and sent on the two battlers - Wood and Rooney - from the off - especially with a howling gale behind us in the first half.
SUBS - Why Wood first ? Why Rooney too late ? Imrie was dire - he spent more time trying to communicate with the fans.
OH - and did anyone else notice that FIVE players - albeit surreptitiously - responded by a clap, a nod, a thumbs up or wink to the Brewster Out chants.
