Roman Golobart debut
Golobart is highly thought of at Wigan and is apparently highly praiseworthy of his ICT experience.

What word.......?
Is anyone actually stooped enuff to think that the penalty kick takers were selected before the feckin game !! I would be surprised if the first five choices were the two Shinnies, McKay, Foran and Doran. I can also see the thinking behind putting the top three first in line. I suspect that it then may have been a case of asking the remaining players as to who is up to taking a penalty. In that circumstances I feel that Phillips should have been turned down - the mere fact that he wasnt either suggests that he was allowed to by the more senior professionals standing. That is the reason that I am calling them "gutless" - not fer their performances but because they did not step into the breach and basically allowed Roberts to take the responsibility. Would there been as much furore if one of the others fecked up the final spot kick ?

ICT -V- Hearts
Likely not...but we didn't win and the 18 year old who lost it for us was a Marsella pick, endorsed by Terry,,,and not one of the homegrown youth players. I feel for Roberts because I think that losing a match as a result of his failure is going to do bugger all for his confidence going forward....but I do wonder why he was picked to take the penalty in the first place......I really do! What makes you think that Roberts was picked to take a penalty? Because the coach has to provide the referee with the five chosen players and the order in which they are going to take the kicks in.

ICT -V- Hearts
Havent got the time to look through all the posts on here but I will proffer my words of wisdom. That has to be biggest disappointment that I can recall experiencing. I rarely feel "gutted" but did at the final whistle. I started having bad vibes the day before and kept on slapping maself cos I was having wave after wave of confidence and expectancy. I agree that there are loads of positives in that we got there, we are entertaining this season, we are in a great league position etc., etc. Here goes fer a bollicking but I dont blame the players - I blame Terry and Mo who got the tactics and the selection all wrong. I felt that the players gave they had and here is the smileymometer - and it is based wholly on the semi final and nought else. REGUERO :smile: The only thing that really baffled me was how he "behaved" during the penalty shoot out. After the second I wanted him to change but had NO confidence that he would save any kick. To me it was a PTSD flashback and there was a Fridge facing Alloa at Airdrie. Now I can appreciate that if ya stay on the spot you may have a chance of saving the down the middle attempt but even I had sussed that by penalty number two. Why didnt we have the eccentric Spanish antics - that must have been discussed prior to the game - NONSENSE RAVEN Made a few mistakes but they werent punished. Thought that he was carrying an injury late on or perhaps he was knackered. MEEKINGS My MOM WARREN Again I felt that he did little wrong and looked the most likely from dead ball situations. G.SHINNIE Thought that it was one of his best attacking games in an ICT shirt. A.DORAN Huge disappointment. Had an off day when he could have been a match winner. TUDOR JONES Again worked his socks off and tried to play football. Why doesnt he put his frame in the box fer corners - even if it is front of the keeper. DRAPER Thought he was subdued and did not go forward as much as I would like him to FORAN Was he carrying a knock or did he pick one up. He was so, so lucky not to be red carded and sometimes he was more interested in berating than watching the ball. He should have been hooked a lot earlier. A.SHINNIE Thought that he could have been utilised a lot more effectively when they went down to ten men. B.McKAY Well he probably cost us the game in the end. ROBERTS I suppose that theoretically he cost us the game. He was having an absolute mare apart from the through ball to Shane. But as soon as he strode up the pitch I had that negative gut feeling. WHY THE FECK WAS HE CHOSEN BY TB - It was OBVIOUS that he was having a bad day. AND WHY DIDNT THE LIKES OF RAVEN, WARREN, DRAPER take on the responsibility SUTHERLAND When he came on I though - good sub - stick him right up front alongside McKay and Shinnie in the hole and lets go fer it. And then we get him in the wide rite feckin TB stubborness nonsense. I thought that we shaded it as the better team on the day - I thought that we should have won this in 90 minutes. BUT Terry and Mo simply do NOT have a Plan/System B and the continued "loyalty" to some players cost us a Hampden experience IMHO. Personally the game was shouting out fer a 4-3-3 and Nicky Ross.

League Cup Semi Final v. Hearts Build Up
As far as I am concerned I do not give a feckin hoot how many tickets we have sold or how many peeple will be there. The bottom line is that the majority who turn up will be the faithful and that is ALL that matters. Put us devoted cnuts into the smallest fecking patch of Easter Road and we will outsing any bestards on the day. All i can advise is to lubricate yer feckin tonsils and get ready to die fer the feckin cause.
