IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Precisely - how can anybody deem that a clearly shaky, disorientated, confused and intoxicated weegie heroin addict with a stolen mobile phone provides concrete and reliable evidence. The only relation to concrete is the Paisley underpass where he should be buried.

Any chance of a delivery ?

Plus as has been alluded to look at the position, the reaction and the view of the feckin referee. Why oh why are some supposed ICT fans trying to feckin apologise for this ??

Two fer a tanner :banana:

And Esson WILL make up fer it.

Midden are full of shitt - from what I have been told Draper was caught in his eye - and if you have ever had such a "slap" or a "poke" ya should know what it is like. Gives us a feckin song to sing the next time. Plus the "guy" was feckin knackered and we had just lost a goal in injury time. Feck PB and feck Midden

From my perspective the evident added attractions was more spondoolicks and a move back to the Central Belt. Lets face it - he was'nt going to achieve much with us and he must have left at a time where there was a feeling of "unrest". In retrospect it was a bad career move but he did pick up injuries as well. You could say the same thing about Rankin and possibly even Rooney.

Perhaps we will get a free Hospitality invite as well ??!!

Most old farts naievely are.

Tom Daly Draper is innocent.

As I may have started this off in ma Smilemometer post I will explain. I wasnt having a pop at Polworth or nay of the yoof as I agree with all of that. Polworth came on and took a very attacking role - and had a couple of nice touches. Morrison would have been my choice and I would have taken off OTJ - morrison becos he is more defence minded and OTJ cos he basically looked fecked. If you are going to close out a game you strengthen the defensive aspect. Oswell is more of a centre forward type but does not have the bulk yet to lead the line. Only TB can explain but he was perhaps going offensive and therefore there would be a rationale for throwing on either Oswell or Polworth as they both have pace in abundance.

Just stating it as I see it and I have always strived to take the positives out of the negatives. Constructive criticism if supported by a rationale is the name of the game. Here is a feckin smiley fer ya.

Naive is old hat - Naieve is the new word and spelling of the masses, as indicated in the Urban dictionary. Not surprised that it has been picked up by two old farts

Feck me I cant even criticise Butchers post match comments:

:lol: Nowt wrong with my smileys. By the way I dont promise I deliver :love02:

Foran !! Feck me - after going on about how vital he is I feckin forgot about him. Where to play him - and he will be played - is going to be a nice dilemna. Unfortunately I suspect that the two to miss out will be Sutherland and Ross. But Foran on the left midfield would be yet another bonus.

Can we have everything all ay once??............... Patience laddie patience!!!!! I'm a feckin perfectionist mun - that must also be my most positive smileymometer in feckin yonks.

I would have said that it should practically pick itself BUT can Butcher climb down and change accordingly ? ESSON MEEKINGS WARREN KING G.SHINNIE ROSS OTJ DRAPER DORAN A.SHINNIE MCKAY I would let Doran roam freer and try to bring him into play as often as possible. Play Andy Shinnie in a more advanced "hole" position, play the ball on the deck and attack down the wings and in behind the Killie defence - play Shinne and McKay in the Shinnie / Tade style when we drubbed them at Rugby Park.

I would certainly stress that the "style" of play is a very welcome management change and is far more entertaining. Even at this very early stage there appears to be a feel of that togetherness factor and that a real TerryandMoAway support yesterday. And the majority of the newbies appear to be decent buys and will add experience to the squad. Still not overly impressed by the tactics although it will beinteresting to see the plan at home. The only real concern is TB's dogged persistence with certain players in certan positions but I expect Meekins and Ross to start next week which would scatter that theory.

NAIEVE: Showing or characterized by a lack of sophistication and critical judgment. As ICTChris succinctly pointed out - we were pissh last season. The points apply to the standard of performance on the park and have feck all to do with budgets and league position. If we had sneaked in front of Aberdire we would have deserved a 3 maximum. The games after the split were ABYSMAL. But hey ho - who gives a feck as we were a feckin EIGHT at Midden yesterday - and yesterday is more important than yesteryear.

Yip I would gladly have taken a draw before the game but this morning feel that we threw away three points. However losing a late goal was the only real comparison to last season and miles away from the performance of the opening game of last season at Muvversmell. And how many others had that wee shiver of "fear" when the announcer said "five minutes of injury time" ?? ESSON :clapping: Appeared slightly unsure/uncertain at times which may be the result of playing behind a new pairing in central defence. I too thought that he could have done more with the equaliser but lets face it - the second half was not the weather for goalkeepers. RAVEN :clapping: I really am not sure about him at rite back - I get a sense of Proctorism - but perhaps he needs to get fitter. He does nothing going forward. I suspect that his substituting was tactical and not becos he had picked up a knock. WARREN :clapping: Effective enuff if unspectacular. As this was his first game at SPL level, a game played at some pace and a beast in Parkin to mark - then the future looks bright. KING :clapping: As for Warren but he looked the ball player of the two. G SHINNIE :clapping: Performance provided sufficient evidence to show why he is an Under 21 internationalist SHANE :clapping: Actually he did OK - especially when he came inside which I suspect was a natural movement and not tactical. I feel that he has beefed up and I still can not understand Butcher's persistence in playing him wide. DRAPER :clapping: :clapping: I will give him man of the match and as some were comparing his physique to Blobby Mann I will also award him Man of the Match. Put in a great shift and can play a feckin ball as well. OTJ :clapping: He has evidently played at a higher standard and did well to last the 90 minutes although I would have subbed him for Morrison. As has been stated already if he keeps injury free then he will be a major asset and I put my hands up that I was wrong about the OTJ / Draper combination. DORAN :clapping: I hope that we play to him like we used to with Hayes as he can be a match winner. Keep him wide and advanced and let othersdo the donkey work. ANDY SHINNIE :clapping: Played deeper presumably becos of cover for Doran and the pressure applied by Midden early doors but moved forward in the second and showed that he could be a real danger in the hole. McKAY :clapping: He worked his socks off and really deserved the goal which he stuck away with aplomb. He still isnt a lone striker but he would be wasted wide as well. He is a goalscorer and all that is missing is a strike partner. Lets hope that TB puts Andy Shinnie in that role next week. MEEKINGS :clapping: Could have been MOM !! He must have wondered what he had done wrong to get demoted to the bench and he certainly released his frustration with a couple of crunching slide tackles, one where he must have skidded for ten feckin yards. Must be a stick on fer right back next week. ROSS :clapping: Should have been on from the start and scored with his first touch but we were in control at that stage. He doesnt appear to impress Terry and Mo which is a shame. POLWORTH :clapping: That was a strange decision. The lad did nothing wrong but I would have thought that taking on a more defensively minded Morrison for a fading OTJ was the tactic to use. What a feckin great away day and the craic was excellent in the "Beer Garden" of the Alamo. Cant wait fer the innaugural Juanjo Away trip !! :lol:

Tale of two feckin halves - we were floundering but so were Midden in the first 45 and it was a game fer the taking. I have to concede that OTJ and Draper looked very solid together and if TB can sort out the wide and forward players to blend in (e.g. Ross) then we ah be on to something.I have to concede that Warren and King looked solid and very promising at the back considering that they were pairing up fer their first game together. If they stay fit then I feel that they could copedwith most SPL attacks. G.Shinnie was reliable as ever but was forced into a more defensive role. Again my concerns about Tudor Jones and Draper together - at least away from home were relatively unfounded but they did struggle to go forward. Doran can be better than Heyes and he showed some great touched at times but then he goes missing in action. Shane - please feckin Butcher realise - is not a wide player but put in a great shift but was COMPLETELY overshadowed by Nicky Ross - as Cilla would say surprise feckin surprise. Andy Shinnie simply has to be played in a more attacking role and that will be hopefully tried out at home against Killie. McKay put in a tremendous shift and took his goal really well - if only we had a Craig Brewster fer him to feed off. So that was encouraging and the only suggestions that I have to make are to stick Meekings in at rite back and initially play Foran wide instead of Shane and put Andy Shinnie in the hoe.

Starchief shows his naievity
