IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Practically a home game fer me - I will be putting some pennies in to Harry's pockets. Think the lowest away day turn out that I have witnessed was the freezing midweek game at Dumfries which just eclipsed Berwick. Whilst I am on about it why did we have such a decent support when we played Stranraer a few years ago ?

It was the sponsore fault for announcing that Ryan was the Man of the Match just prior to the close of 90 minutes. There should be an unwritten law that no MOM announcements are made pertaining to goalkeepers until the final whistle blows, especially when the scoreline is close.

Who provides the best value - ICT Supporters Club Bus represented by Lizi or the new Travel Club Bus represented by Caley D.

Simply has to be Harrys Bar away

Has anyone noticed that the project manager for this survey was a guy called Laurence.

I really rate Ross but I am afraid that he is going to struggle to get a start this season as Tansey and Tudor Jones are clearly going to be the chosen ones in the middle of the park I suspect that Terry's thinking in playing Nick right was "forced" and the arrival of Doran changes that. Psychologically I fear that Nick is not happy at being played wide right and sees the writing on the wall for his central midfield place.

Where the feck is Hayes playing? I would allow Hayes to drift - mainly on the left and switching with Doran but to be allowed to stay on the last line of defence - allowing Foran to be more of an influence. I suspect that when McKay is fit then Johnny can go back to the wide berth.

Thank you very much for your kind admission of my evident superior command of the English language and undoubted command of psychological formulation - as I suspected you fit the diagnosis of an "ersehole".

Well said Rene couldnt have put it any better! I could.

Do you spell ersehole with an a or an e - or in certain circumstances does it really matter - it is as easy as abc or 123.

There will be seats available in a wee hoose in Chorley.

No comment required, you jinx. As I heard some peeple stating yesterday - "Yon Johndo is prophetic". No, you misheard. They were actually saying "Yon Johndo is pathetic" WHOOSH

I had to hold maself back as I just wanted to stand up and start the chants off but it is up to the yoofs to bring this on - the main chants were started by Stirling Observer. Our Singing Section may feel that it is looking for leader/s but fer fecks sake boys - just start a song and everybody will join in. Start believing in yerselves as that section has so much promise - and the stewards were very tolerant yesterday. Plus if we had scored then I reckon that the place would have been rocking - Bring on the HUNS !! Ya dont need a fat, grey haired old man to spur ya on - but he will join in !!!

:rotflmao: I will miss Laurence as I feel that we could have had some great communications - but I appreciate that travelling people are different.

Such positivity after two defeats can only be a good thing !! Bring on DUMBFARMLIFE.

ESSON PERMAYR HOGG/TOKELY ALDRED GILLET DORAN TANSEY TUDOR-JONES FORAN HAYES SUTHERLAND I know that this will not be Terry and Mo's choice and they will stick with Tade and the same positional system but I would perservere with the above.

No comment required, you jinx. As I heard some peeple stating yesterday - "Yon Johndo is prophetic".

I hear that Mrs Stan went though a torrid time and the wee one would have had as well - but both appear to be on the mend. Give the NHS feckin laldy Stan.

I have to remark that this is the best post match thread in a long, long time with some concise and accurate perceptions which also are focussed on performances and tactics. May have to start a thread about Adam Rooney as some people dont appear to realise that he wont be playing this season alongside Messrs Munro and Duncan. That was a big improvement on pre season and Motherwell. Terry has bought well with Doh a Deer plugging the problematic rite back slot and Tentpole Tudor looking good in the defensive midfield slot. I am looking forward to have a look at McKay as I am still worried about the forward line and I am really not sure that Djebi Tade fites the bill. Tactically we were far more organised and held a good shape especially when Doran entered the frame. There is still evidence - naturally - that the team has not gelled and that backs up TB's concern that the season started too soon. We certainly have not had any rub of the green and we could have notched six goals yesterday - including two penalties - and on one subject that I usually swerve but - the officials yesterday were terrible and cost us the game although I did feel that Hayes went down to easy fer the late goal. ESSON :twothumbsup: :twothumbsup: Got the sponsors MOM and thoroughly deserved it. Has started off this season as he ended the last. I said that we could have scored six but so could Hibs - if not for Esson - three saves which were out of the top drawer. DOH A DEER :twothumbsup: :twothumbsup: He looks like one of the most talented defenders that we have ever signed and I cant wait to see what he is like when he gels and gets fitter. ALDRED :twothumbsup: Immense in the air and did well against Gary Methadone but still tends to stray out of position and out of line - noticeable yesterday that Esson was giving him some gip which will only help. Great to see somebody who plays the ball out of defence, ROSSCOE :twothumbsup: Are you Grant Munro in disguise ? I am afraid that we could be looking at the axing of a Legend when Hogg gets fit. GILLET :twothumbsup: I though that he was good going forward and what a defensive block in the first half. But he is another who gets out of position and you cant do that at left back. Aint seen any replays but was he culpable for the goal alongside Hayes ROSS :twothumbsup: Very bad day at the office but Nick evidently prefers the centre of midfield AND please dont play him on the left. Suspect that Doran will start at Dumbfarmlife and also feel that Andrew Shinnie may be number 2 in the wide man pecking list. TENTPOLE TUDOR :twothumbsup: A competent, promising and no nonsense introduction and I suspect that he was told to sit yesterday and we got little vision of what he could do going forward - especially for dead ball situations. May be a real find when he gels, especially if it is interlinking with Tansey. TANSEY :twothumbsup: I actually think that he is trying too hard - if ya get ma drift. Suggest that he slows down a bit and uses his napper instead of the adrenaline surges. Once he gets a goal - and he is the one that has really deserved it - then he will only get better. HAYES :twothumbsup: I fear that Terry and Mo have told Hayes that he will be the main man this season and that has affected him. When we started looking for Doran instead of looking for Johnny all the time - even from feckin Esson kick outs !! - we looked like a dangerous outfit and Johnny was a team player. Can we have the less arrogant Johnny Hayes back please. And he allowed himself to be bullied at the goal, FORAN :twothumbsup: I still feel that he is wasted up front and now not too sure if he should be El Capitano. Sure he should bawl at the rest but he also needs to concentrate on his own game and his positioning and concentration went several times yesterday as he preferred to remonstrate at officials and peers. Put hayes further up and Foran back wide left please. DJEBI TADE :twothumbsup: Dont get me wrong but Lionel Gregory will run and run and run and will hassle and hassle and hassle and will look good fer that but he is not a footballer and he will not score goals. He may get assists but not with Richie beside him so will be interesting how he gels with McKay. Good man to have in the squad though. SUTHERLAND :twothumbsup: Am I alone in thinking that he is so frustrating and one game / minute he looks like the real thing and the next NOT. Could have / should have scored with his first touch. I was hoping that he would be the main man up front this season and I actually think that we should persist with him. DORAN :twothumbsup: His introduction almost won us the game and wasnt it great to see Aaaron and Johnny hugging the touchlines and Hibees had no answers. The only criticism was his final pass / cross (as could be said about Hayes and Tansey) and he is evidently not match ready - but when he is we will progress. TERRY AND MO :twothumbsup: :twothumbsup: Have learned their lessons and changed the system and the tactics and have possibly picked up two of the best signings that we have done in ages - possibly three if Hogg gels as well.

I am in the doghouse - I have smashed all the plates in ma hoose. Was it a boy with bronzed skin an a pony tail ?

Anybody wish to comment on the opening post on this thread - feckin seer or wot \/

Have to admit that he was a surprise to be released in the first place but he wanted to look around - I am not too bothered that he may have decided that he was on a better thing with ICT. \maybe his arrival will bring Daisy Duke to Sneck. Wouldnt mind putting her in the goals and sitting in Section G watching her goalkeeping shorts.

Feck me I will give ya another green dot fer that - but many peeple dont realise the modern day meaning and it used to be a word that was quite widely used in slang to describe eejits.

Can ya get me a ticket fer Section G Richard ?

I would be available to provide a fans perspective LIVE.
