Where abouts in the ground were you? There were some guys giving him a fair bit of stick for the first 10 minutes or so.

Why on earth did we play long balls up to the hybrid of Koller and Jancker in the Hibs defence for 1/2 of the first half when in the first 20 or so minutes we had torn Hibs apart with some slick passing moves? The same goes for the second. At times we were completely outpassing them but later on we decided to go long ball. I can't understand our desire to use this style of play especially when Dargo and Wyness start. When Bayne comes on fair enough but at the start of the game we were well on top by just out passsing one of the most attractive sides in the SPL. More of the same next week please but no long ball unless we get desperate :003:

Black was, for me, MOTM by a great distance. He had some sublime touches and his control at times was excellent. I thought he was subbed as he had already been booked but that turned out to not be the case.

He was all right in the first half but the less said about his second half 'performance' the better. Another name for the list of Refs who are utter sacks. Murray Freeland MacDonald Brines Does Scotland have any good refs anymore? Bring back Young, Dallas and Blady!

Maybe they can continue to "buy the dream" by snapping up the entire Derry team before the 2nd leg?

For around 100k we could get him. 0% chance of that happening.

The pressure on these guys is going to be incredible at Yinited. Brewster has set himself up for a fall. He has chased these same 3 players all summer and onlynow has he got one of them. If Yinited don't turn it around soon then both the players and CB will be under serious pressure.

*cough* Partick! *cough* Ayr! *cough* Queens Park! :016:

Where do you go to get this information? I can never find anything on the SFA site.

I think the very public statements saying that he is not for sale should clear that one up but I doubt it.

You know this how? AFAIK none of the valuations have been met although the Proctor bid is getting closer.

Just edited your post to highlight the ICT tie :004: A good tie, at home, against very 'lowly' opposition. That said, lets not forget Queens Park who royally shafted us after we underestimated them. Ties to be played on the 22nd or 23rd of August. Please let it be the 23rd!

Brown Tokley Caff Munro Hastings Wilson Black Rankin Morgan (McBain) Dargo Bayne (Wyness) If Bayne starts get Morgan on the left side of midfield. His crossing is fantastic and with Baynes aerial threat we might have a potent goal scoring threat there. If CC decides to retain McBain on the left keep Wyness in there. When Royksopp gets shown the inside he always cuts back on his left and can't get a cross in so a targetman in the box might be a bit of a waste there. Wyness offers a route to goal through neat interchange of passing which McBain is good at - keep it nice and simple and pass it.

My brain cells are no use to you! :015: Sorry!

Maybe CC shouldn't have blasted Dods after the St. Mirren game. I'm sure that really helped :006:

So what exactly are you asking here?

Why should he be ahead of Denzil? Wyness' link up play and holding the ball up and spreading it to other players has been superb in the last two games.

Sell him! He clearly isn't happy and is a shadow of the player he was last season. He obviously doesn't want to be here and he wants to go to Yinited.

Craig - you know full well what the score is with Ian Black. Away with yer pish!

I'm not quite sure why Black is getting all this stick. Yes he was like that last seasn but he was really good on Saturday and his bringing the ball out of defence was excellent. His close control and then released pass when under pressure from 2 Dons players was another example of why this guy is one of the best youngsters in our game.

I bet even IHE never saw this one coming! :017: :017: :015: :015:

He's gone to Accies http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...cal/5257790.stm

Strongly disagree on the crossing thing. Take Morgan and now Rankin out of our team and Hart is by far and away the best crosser we have - IMO.

I think this is a poor decision by ICT. With the uncertainty surrounding Dods and Proctor, letting our other right back leave the club is a daft decision. Caff can play there but what if Dods leaves? He will go to centre back leaving us with no established cover for right back or in the centre of defence. IMO - a poor decision.

Totally agree. I think we asked this before about whether the club has to have designated seating but I think it's one of the rules of the SPL but not 100% sure on that.
