CaleyP

i always wonder if its a sign of a good player or a bad player if they have played for many clubs especially in the same league...just wondering what people think?

work ethic yes...IQ a BIG no. IQ does not come anywhere near football when it comes to playing the game. yes your correct in saying you can never tell but its certainly not nonsense to tip a player...i've seen iain vigurs play since he was 10 years old, i tipped him then...look where he is now. he isn't gonna stop here and now. why do people in scotland find it hard to praise young players. its hard because theres been so many tipped younsters who have never made it i went to school with a few boys who have gone onto play for spl clubs or scotland...stephen cosgrove (ex man u and motherwell) now playing juniors, stephen crainey who has had 5-6 appearances for scotland but nobody even mentions him now that hes at blackpool and charles mulgrew, was a good player back then and doing well now, even if he is aberdeen hope he does well but all they wanted to do was play football when they were younger and have put in the hard work...but usually they have somthing to fall back on incase they dont make it but i could have said several more names who were on par or better than them, but just faded out as they got older or realised football is not a guaranteed future and then went on to uni etc... point granted...but still doesn't mean we cant praise our youngsters. the players you mentioned were good but vigurs has a touch of class...that can get you far coz not many players possess this. i guess you could say we tip a lot of players but one has to work out...just a matter of probability. :thumb04:

Brewster's Interview yeah thats the one...

listening to brew in a interview today sounds like its gonna be the same team that started against falkirk. he mentioned if the players play well they stay in the team...so surely that means he wont be changing much of the 11 from the falkirk game...although i reckon barroman in for one of the strikers. i think mcguire and duff will start with munro on the bench.

booing him is unfair...i think a clap for him if he gets on isn't much to ask. remember he didnt want to move...not his fault he needs to make a living playing for another club so certainly hope the fans will understand this.

i completely agree.

i think we should keep our defenders in defence....why play two defenders in midfield when you could play players that actually play in midfield.... all you have there in your first selection is a whole load of defenders...i would hate to see what would happen if that was the team. second choice much more realistic. i think this will be the line up for sat. Fraser Tokley Munro McGuire/Duff Hastings Cowie McBain Black Vigurs Barrowman Rooney

work ethic yes...IQ a BIG no.

Pretty much what I was thinking. I'd be interested to hear what better right backs there are available to us? Alexander is mince. Did he not have injury problems while he was there too? last team he was at was cove rangers....he's a bit of a big time from the time i was around him. injury seemed to be a problem for him at utd.

no probs bud...

i was asked if i HAD to choose...that would be my choice from the caley team...not that i would because your right... as for vigurs your spot on there...the boy has limitless potential...

wow...broadfoot is the luckiest player of all time and all time to come...hahahaha has anyone actually taken time out to watch this guy throughout a game....he is technically the worse player of all time..he cant pass to save his life..his balance..well he has none...but for what reason i dont know people see something...anyone want to tell me what it is??????

well its tuff, but maybe don cowie, but hopefully the young lads will progress well enough to maybe get a call up sometime in their career. its really tuff to say though. its always gonna be hard for ICT players to get a shout in when it seems only central belt teams exist when it comes to international selection.

yeah he has a couple of times. he hasn't had much playing time with them though unfortunately.

two players that could be good enough with a couple more seasons playing first team could be iain vigurs and duff. then again they might not even be caley players in a couple of years. vigurs played under 19 scotland and i think duff might have done.

I would stick with Duff and Maguire . In the 3 league games they have played together we have only conceded 3 goals in total .Neither deserves to be dropped, furthermore there is no way Grant can be match fit,i dont think he has even played a reserve game. true...munro might not be fit enough to start this sat, but i would like to see munro and duff as our two first choice centre backs when he is fit enough. saying that obviously they need to be able to perform well at the same time. i reckon they would make a good partnership though. mcguire might just be getting past it a little...maybe..

im very pro to keeping in the young ones if they do a job....and duff has done a job...it has to be munro and duff at the back. keep them two together and a brilliant understanding between the two will happen. unfortunately munro and mcguire dont have that.

Think Vigurs deserves to keep his place after Falkirk, although this time I'd play him and Cowie on their preferred wings. Possibly I'd have Duncan in for McBain and Barrowman in for Wood, even though Wood did pretty well against Falkirk IMO. Won't do Imrie any harm to start on the bench again if his reponse when he came on at Falkirk is anything to go by. We must have quite a few players desperate to stake a claim for a start now, which is encouraging. yeah i completely agree, i wonder though if duncan will be fit enough to start?! i always think that the two wingers should be switching with each other throughout the game, just to mix things up a little for the opposing defenders. nothing worse than having to defend against a different person every ten minutes.

i cant see brew changing the team that beat falkirk to much... especially not the midfield...the midfield just ran the show at falkirk. vigurs---mcbain---black----cowie

six changes from the team that beat Falkirk...that's a lot?

yeah i would include them on the bench to begin with. no point chucking them straight back in there. munro might get a start. not sure about duncan but i think proctor will most certainly start on the bench. unfortunately its gonna be tuff for guys coming back from injury to get a start if the replacing players are doing well and possibly a better job for now. great to have them back though.

"get that F***ing camera man."

well done to ian black. yeah i think all he needs to add to his game now is more forward penetrating passes. once he adds that to his game then there's no limitation to how far he can go.

my point is that there should be more coverage, football is huge in scotland...people want to see more of the games. the simple fact is it's not good enough the coverage we do get. we don't even get line ups at the begining of the game unless it is the feature game, and lets be fair Caley are only ever the feature game when we're playing one of the old firm. it's just lucky for me that i do get to go to most of the games to see what you don't get to see on sportscene. not everyone has that privilege.

i dont think it matters what side either of them played on...regardless of what the players stronger foot is...wingers i think should be switching all the time throughout the game at this level..obviously more so when playing 4-5 across the middle. i can't understand why they don't do this...I don't just mean ICT noone seems to do it in the SPL. just an observation.
