  1. Elgin trying to be the new Blue Brazil?
  2. As a commited anarchist, it's something that I'll probably have to deal with at some point but so far I haven't seen any serious action. I was going to go down to the G8 protests in Stirling but couldn't really be bothered. French students, the world champions of rioting, have claimed that lemon juice ameliorates the affects - not sure I'd like to try that one though. Fight the power!
  3. Perhaps a new Inverness team could replace them?
  4. McAllister has been getting himself into plenty of goal scoring positions, it's only a matter of time until he starts hitting the net. Were Craig Dargo, Graeme Bayne and Dennis Wyness as good as he is when they were his age? I don't think so. It'd be ridiculous to expect him to be playing at their level at this stage in his development. Wyness, Dargo, Bayne and Rankin didn't all exactly 'hit the ground running' when they started out for us, but look at them now. Orthodox football theory says that ideally you want a 'big man - small man' partnership up front. Perhaps that's where we're going wrong at the moment, we're playing with two big men. :024: ??? The simplest solution might be to bring in Gary McSwegan for either Bayne or McAllister. Alternatively we could play Richie Hart or Barry Wilson up front, both are the kind of players who could fill the 'run off' striker role, and of course - both know where the net is. The most important thing is that we don't resort to long ball tactics against the Tims, that'd be playing to their strengths, and wouldn't really test their legs, which is surely what we ought to be doing given the fact that they've just played 90 minutes against AC Milan.
  5. Cantona http://youtube.com/watch?v=gbpmCowmVUc Fowler Bergkamp Wright http://youtube.com/watch?v=MMSxjESTBHM&amp...ted&search= le tissier http://youtube.com/watch?v=k-b01xfi1yI Beardsley http://youtube.com/watch?v=AShplA9Vc9I Zola http://youtube.com/watch?v=sebknBlUWd4 Ferguson Giggs http://youtube.com/watch?v=JrM7HyptOKk Shearer http://youtube.com/watch?v=G1DVd3DM-9Y Collymore http://youtube.com/watch?v=zrlfyHz_djU Barnes http://youtube.com/watch?v=dzGouuyt2Cc Peter Beardsley is probably the best one I've found so far... What a player! What a haircut!
  6. Barry Wilson at his peak was better than Robson is now.
  7. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrShK-NVMIU Probably only students will appreciate this one... "The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside." absolute class :015:
  8. Campos, Rui Costa, Figo, Kluivert, Davids, Brolin, Maldini, Cantona, Ronaldo, Wright. Wasn't all that long ago. Hard to believe that Brolin and Wright used to be legends, it shows how much standards have improved in the last few years.
  9. http://youtube.com/watch?v=dzYkNawPY60 :015:
  10. He hasn't really been tested yet. I don't think Hibs, United or even Celtic managed all that many shots on goal. That said his 'average goals conceded' stat must be the best of any keeper playing in the league at the moment. Let's see how long he can keep that going. Hopefully he realizes that the other teams will be looking to catch him out dribbling now that they've seen him at it, so he won't try it again for a wee while. The last thing we want is our own Jorge Campos (remember the Mexican keeper at US 94 who thought he was a striker?) :018: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WELh6HlmPcE
  11. When Glen Hoddle was Spurs manager he's supposed to have registered himself as a player, claiming that he could play as an 'emergency sweeper' :024: perhaps Charlie should do the same.
  12. A pair of gloves he's just been spitting on for 90 minutes.
  13. Glass houses people. Barry Wilson is one of the worst (or best depending on your perspective) divers in the country, a master of the arts of 'holding your face as if you've been elbowed' 'jumping over the keeper and rolling over a couple of times' and 'writhing in agony on the turf, then getting up and sprinting 50 yards'. Think he's cleaned up his act recently - getting too old for all the Steven Segal stuff perhaps. :016:
  14. He's always been a decent anchor man, but also has more quality going forward than he gets credit for - his goal was no fluke, he's connected like that loads of times. Remember his goal against Falkirk at the end of last season? Maybe he should be given a chance from some of our direct free kicks? Wilson has been pretty wasteful recently, maybe it's time to give someone else a go.
  15. That's a bit harsh. He contributed as much as Bayne yesterday.
  16. What are this weeks lottery numbers?
  17. My Highland league following mate tells me that Inverurie Locos have the best keeper. Anyone ever heard of him?
  18. It didn't look like that yesterday. He held the ball under pressure as well as anyone since Brewster. And his passing success ratio must have been about 90%. Not to mention how well he struck up an understanding with our midfielders whose runs he kept picking out time and again. Surely he can improve his strength and stamina with a few hard sessions in the gym every week?
  19. I think Rankin's got the potential to surpas Robson.
  20. Oh dear, I really hope this is a wind up!
  21. You're accusing me of 'attack minded vitriol'? Your OTT reaction suggests you're a bit of a knee-jerk character, and a rather insecure chap IHE (either that or a criminal defense lawyer). :024:
  22. Don't know what kind of scouting network Charlie has in place - but it doesn't look good signing most of our players from County. And now that Peles back in business with the fishermen he'll probably 'hook' all of the best HL talent (sorry for the pun) like he did so well with us. I think we need to beef up our scouting network. The signing of Ridgers from Clach is an embarresment quite frankly.
  23. He didn't exactly get 'stuck in' today like he does at his best. Perhaps it's harsh to claim his heart's not in it every time he has a below par performance.
  24. Whatever pills Charlies been giving him are working. :017:
  25. Can you name a better left winger outside of the OF? Don't forget that he was in the Scotland future squad along with Blackie and Dargo, and unlike them he's actually IMPROVED since then. Perhaps the new Scotland gaffer will take notice.
