Libero

seen the replay on setanta and for me its definately a penalty, the pundits seemed pretty sure it was a foul too, marius outpaced steven 'the snail' pressley and pressely clearly obstructed him.

absolutely, seeing Mcgeady spit the dummy out was hilarious :015:

what a day, what a performance, every player on the park was awesome. that will go down as one of the best if not the best game ive ever been at. what an atmosphere, crowd were excelllent. a big :clapping03: to everyone today, from the fans to the players to the management, what an early chistmas present!! :crazy07: Strachan can moan all he wants, at the end of the day it finished 3-2!! :crazy07:

sums it up perfectly, i really hope he retains his place upon his return from suspension, tokely now has a big job proving he is 1st choice

saw the save he made near the end on setanta, truly amazing save, well done on a top drawer performance :clapping03:

cant say i agree with that, by no means do i think marius has played his best yet but i think his passing, hold up play and shooting was brilliant today. good point CaleyD, on the evidence of todays performance i think wyness and tokely will struggle to get into the team

ratings are spot on hislopsoffsideagain :clapping03:

spot on, i would add to that the performance of Proctor who i thought was excellent, looked calm and composed, was accurate in the pass and made countless importnat interceptions/headers in defence.

I though Rankin was excellent today, full of energy, tackling back and chasing almost every ball and had at least three very good chances, was a very dangerous attacking threat and at last i think Brewster has found the ideal position to play him. He was very unlucky not to get a goal today and i sincerely hope now any thoughts of seliing Rankin have been firmly brushed aside after two very impressive performances. Overall i think the whole team played very well today, a couple of shaky moments but overall very happy with the result. Dont get me started on Kenny Clark or the near side linesman, some terrible decisions especially when the Hibs goaly twice came outside his box when attempting to throw the ball out, Malky was livid! ha ha

neither does a few bad ones mean that fans should be calling for the managers head, lets see how the season pans out before making rash calls

absolutely!!

totally unexpected but delighted to get the three points. :crazy07: McGuire got the sportsound man of the match and as the commentator said Brewster has to make McGuire a permanent singing a priority in January!

sounds like Hastings has taken a bad head knock, stretchered off, not good! hope he's alright. Wilson on....

get in! yyyeeesss!!!

I like i agree, looks a strong line-up IMO. Glad to see Rankin starting anyway, about time!

No rant - just couldnt respond to the stats / facts so tried the personalised insults ya cowardly **** :001: Is 12 games not sufficient ?? And if ya read my comments correctly you will find me proffering a lot of positives and the negatives are in regard to Niculae's deficits and to the way he has been utilised. I will come to that closer to the Midden game. :023: respond to the stats? having studied statistics i came to the conclusion that 70% of stats are complete bollocks! i'm not a huge lover of stats, fair enough they can give a general picture but they can often be misleading. if football managers only took stats into consideration we would be in a sorry mess, and going by our current predicament very few of our squad have particularly good stats outwith Wyness. personalised insults? where exactly are the personalised insults? how have i displayed cowardice and what exactly is a **** by the way? personally i dont think 12 games is sufficient to warrant the criticism that has been dished out, just my humble opinion, i'm not worried by MN's lack of goals or his 'poor stats', i firmly believe he is and will be a great addition to the squad. and heyho even if it doesnt work out it certainly wont be the last time it'll happen in football. yup back to the thread, i dont think MN has displayed his full qualities yet but that i feel is down to him adjusting to the SPL and the fact it cant be easy showing your class with so many ropey displays at times this season! personally i think he has shown a great deal of desire to help the team and often chases back to defend and for me that is an admirable quality and worthy of my applause

give you a break? ha ha, you being serious? you havent given Niculae a break since the guy signed, give the guy a chance to settle in and adapt to the SPL, stikers all over the country take time to start scoring and i'm sure he'll start hitting the back of the net sooner rather than later, quite a few of our strikers have gone through barren spells and not had anywhere near the criticism Niculae has. its certainly not going to do anyone any good by continually crtiticising him. why dont you give MN and all of us a break from your continual griping! rant over

you having a laugh? i cant argue with the sendings off but overall i thought the ref was very poor, highly inconsistent and seemed to give motherwell the decision in every 50/50 challenge

i agree, i certainly thought we'd established ourselves as a SPL team, however if we carry on playing like we have been and failing to get points the only way we'll stay up is by another team being even worse and thats not a position i would like to see the club in!

ha ha, brilliant for those with an alternative palate: snot noodle for those who prefer fizzy juice to boiling water: pop noodle :029: poor effort i know!

completely agree, without gretna we would be in an awful position, but even though gretna are in a worse position than us we cannot rest on the fact that gretna will continually fail to get points and in return save us from relegation, we have been going through a very bad run of form and the sooner were out of it the better. I sincerely hope that brew is the man for the job and can dig us out of this hole!

i concur

spot on!

struggling to find anything positive from today other than is is blatantly obvious that bayne and wyness is NOT an effective partnership, hopefully now Wyness will start up front with Niculae and maybe Macdonald will be given a chance. i truly hope that today serves as an enormous kick up the backside to the players and management team and i sincerely hope i dont have to witness something like like that in a very, very long time! :008:

agree with most of that, apart from the last bit! he should be out looking for a new centre half!
