The Mantis

Great day overall :thumb04: :018:

not for me to say to be honest Here's the tweezers Robbo :015: Give the fence a coat of paint while you're at it

He told me he was getting Darran Thomson back on loan for this one and Rory was going to partner him in central mid, after the great job he did there as a sub in the cup against the tims.

:thumb04: :D :018: ;) :015: Quality. Not often something makes me laugh out loud. Viz I assume.

Aye, rite enaff. The software must have put the date on when I did the work on the Sunday.

Came across this album from 4 years ago - quite a few faces on there I've not seen for a while...... Football comes home

Nice one Yngwie. ;) :thumb04: :018: Here's another that will give Robbo's erse one or two splinters: That Brewster was a right duffer eh? Should we have sacked him in December?

Only problem with that is, Russell was coming in from the side and Swanson was running forward at full pelt. No option other than let him go. Feck me, rumbled at last. Talk your way out of that.

Just heard TB's interview. He seems to agree it was a deserved red, and Russell probably would have said something to him if it wasn't.

If it's clear he played the ball maybe the club can appeal it, no?

Would have to see it again Johndo. It was a quick break, we were attacking and Swanson was suddenly played in through the middle but I'm sure there was no left back. Either Ross or Pavels or somebody was thereabouts to the right, but somebody had to tackle him and quick. Nobody could have caught him except Russell. He just about got the ball it seemed to me, but brought him down. I was up on my feet shouting that he played the ball. It was far out, say 35 yards, but Craig Thomson was right into his pocket and judged it a clear goalscoring opportunity. Edit: I see I missed a page of replies :thumb04: :018:

What, some muppet started a 'Dump Duncan' thread? Should have been at the game then. The irony is, he hardly misplaced a pass all day. Good shout for MoM before that. So we'll miss him and Blackie next week. True about Imrie, if he could lift his head and see a pass he'd be some player. Should have made it 2-0 before half time instead of passing it. Good fighting draw today though. There's hope.

Whaddya mean 'tend to' :D :thumb04: :018: ;) :015: :D :P :021:

I think a draw suits us. I don't think we pin all our hopes on Falkirk being pish. St Mirren have had a good spell but could now have a worse squad than us. They failed to win their first home game, indeed could have lost it. Maybe their new stadium could be a jinx. Plus if we get anything tomorrow......

For Caley and Jags, every year you still had to qualify so the Cup was like Europe to us. I still love it though.

Brewster's done an even better job on County than he did on us.

Feck me, nobody needs a map to see the Highlands begin at Dunkeld. Just drive by and look at the complete change in scenery within about half a mile between Birnam and Dunkeld. Why has nobody mentioned our wee bridgey castle song yet

The way I see it is, you don't always have to actually be singing, but just giving the team a bit of backing and encouragement. Away back before the SPL there used to be a good healthy roar from the main stand when the team went forward. I'm always shouting out to encourage the team but again people around just sit on their hands and look at you.

Pwoud, vewy pwoud. Great fun going past the away end back to the car, with the TB bandage on. BTW surely the ref should have booked McGeady for one of his two dives in the middle of the park. If he didn't deem either of them to be fouls then he clearly dived. Obviously it's not nearly as nerve-wracking watching the game in the north stand as all you folks with setanta. I never thought we were in much bother. Wee bit gutted that we never stole it at the end, but I'll take that effort every week till we get off the bottom then I'll worry about how poor the football is. :thumb04: :018: ;) :015: :D :P :021: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

A bit longer than that, probably...... the last man to hold that privilege was one Mr Baltacha.

Waste of time, not even Robbo knows how to get the wee team into the SPL :thumb04: :018:

The sound quality was always a bit iffy. It was definitely 'give it all' or 'give your all' but my tape isn't here at the moment. Somebody borrowed it to digitise it but then she hasn't been at many games since Brew took over :015: ;) :thumb04: :018:

I agree with most of that Johndo. But tactics or no, how feckin magic was it to see the players come out for the second half with a bit of belief, score and rip Hearts apart for 20 mins. Flicks and 1-2s that we've been scared to try for months. And a support that got behind them and clapped them off. We lost the game but signs of the ICT spirit of 2 years ago. Brewster is history.

Both our goals were beauties. Never saw Hearts winner though, don't know anybody that did, too busy texting at 2-2 thinking we had saved a point.
