IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

I was confussed. He was carded but he hadnt committed the foul. Rosscoe, Duncan, Dods and Hastings were all getting stuck in. I think it was far more than just subbing Black. Killie fans were trying to wind him up as they could see that he was our main man. Against Cellic it wasnt exactly the personnel but the fact that he changed the system.

I have praised aspects of our game against Killie on other threads. There were positives but I have highlighted the negativity of some of the tactics. I have also to state that I have been, on the whole, positive about many aspects of this season. I have criticised CC's ATTITUDE and non-diplomacy at times but I have been heavily critical of his unbelievable tactical changes against Cellic which IMHO lost us the game and IMHO a variety of tactical disasters at Killie. The players gave their feckin all on both occasions and were "unlucky" on both occasions but poor tactics have lost us a Semi Final spot and a chance of a Top Six finish.

Canada trip can only be of benefit.

Taking into account the comments from some of the more tactically minded posters following the Killie game I suspect CC will utilise: Fraser Hastings Dods Caff Tokely Sutherland Rankin Black Wilson Paataleinen Bayne It is a winning formula which will become known as the "feckthewidthcutinside" formation. The opposition will be baffled when we constantly cut inside and not because of any favoured foot either. If all our players do it at the same time the energy will form a vaccuumesque goal funnel and the ball will be passed upfield in a pinball fashion and clinked into the goal. The most important players in this formation are the defensive"flippers" - Hastings and Tokely and the midfield "flippers" Sutherland and Wilson plus the stopper - Fraser. In defence we just stay in the above formation and the other option is to hoof the ball - but due to the positions - the ball will not travel straight forward but will naturally turn into a cross field pass. Why didnt we feckin think of it before.

Yes clacher - the boys have red, white and blue tinted perspectives and are classical psychological cases of denial and rationalisation. They remind of a couple on the telly. :015: :015: :015:

Thank you - just feckin listen in future instead of doubting.

I wonder if Colin would allow me to run a creche at the Innes.

The whole game or just the second half?

I am reliably informed that Zanders favourite foot is his left.

Zander was cutting inside and not taking the full back on is what I said and you agree. Thank you. I watched the whole 90 minutes. :001:

Not fair - the flavour of many of the posts is that we can not win without Dods. Augurs well fer next season eh!! :008: :008:

Don Cowie.

A diversion as the large majority of people agree with me. :018: :018:

Zander played on the wing but never once played down it. He kept on coming inside on his left foot and into a packed midfield. When he plays on the natural left he consistently hugs the touchline and tries to get as close to the bye line as possible before crossing with his well favoured and effective left foot. Hart, at times, can cross well with his right foot and can often try and hit the line. Again he found himself trying to manouevre on to his right foot and slowed the game up. Most of his "crosses" were limited to free kicks and corners. At half time it could have been 4 or 5 at I feared a trouncing. As I have already alluded to we made several changes in the formation at half time and gave it a go. As the Killie fan said taking off Black gave them confidence as he was clearly the one player who looked capable of playing a telling ball. We deserved a point at least in the end because of our dominance in the second half but we could have won it if we were sounder tactically. They always looked the liklier team to score and I felt that they took the foot off the pedal in the second half. Fer fecks sake - I am playing the devils advocate. :001: :001: Creates more posts as well. :015: :015: :015:

DOH - I give up :017: :017:

Strayed off the point a bit about this one. Or was that meant?

Oi - thats my feckin song. Like the Doodododo Pataleeinen :001:

Scotty is a feckin homo. :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

If Caff is being earmarked as the replacement fer Dods ya just have to play him now to establish what kind of partnership he forms with Munro at an SPL level. Otherwise it would be guesswork fer next season. Dods is a professional - he should understand/accept such a rationale. We seem to be saying reward Dods fer his services to the club but what about Caff's loyalty?

I have to admit that I avoid the use of the word "Homo" in front of my children and prefer to refer to "feckin coksucking pooftahs". I consulted with the lady in question who agreed with me and thanked me for my support and understanding.

Cos he is completely left footed. At that stage of the game we needed width and playing down the wing - Killie had flooded the middle and were quite happy to allow Zander to come inside on his left foot. He did well but did ya notice that his final passes were mainly square balls or back to midfielders or defenders. Pat O'Linnen was doing that on the left to some success but Zander is a carbon copy. Playing Hart on the roght would have given us the width and penetration - perhaps!! :001:

I said sensible .
