IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Wouldnt disagree - would play Proc at rite back as Cellic really hone in on Rosscoe - Duff adds a bit of grit and pace and there is logic to keep Hastings - who probably wont cross the half way line anyway. But to me Duncan holds the key.

That school has been closed down but RAFT is flourishing - It is probably becos I am the figurehead as my personna seems to attract pupils like flies - a bit like you to a wheelie bin really. A lot of peeple find it so difficult not to communicate with me.

There is no feckin way that I am joining this protest. :thumb04: :018:

I suspect that yer fancy is a wee bit different from Brewsters.

Is that what ya call pie in the skye thinking ?

?Optimism is denial, so face the facts and move on? You didnt disagree so the septic sceptre isnt an IHE sceptic.

You should be more feckin worried about 25% going to Lithuania.

Go to Walker Park with a bottle of Cider and a feckin sparkler - by the way an evil qypsy devil invented Tinkerville. I was going to come up - but the Stadium was a BAD BAD choice - reckon it was the venue and the chance of bumping in to the peeple responsible fer this season put most peeple off.

Play Wood - lose an early goal - CURTAINS.

Did you get them from http://www.speedydegrees.com ? "Envy shoots at others and wounds itself" Yet another who cant respond to rational criticism.

"Do you suffer from halitosis?"

Well if the **** is anything like yer average Leeds supporter he will get ICT tattooed on his feckin forehead.

Wow - would have to agree with everything said on this thread - what a pity we didnt play him more on the left.

So - basically - you agree with me - fair enuff - but just to drive home yer acceptance. I never said that Wyness deserved to stay - I am staing that he was treated very badly - he was basically told that he had a contract and then Brewster decided to go bak on it - perhaps it was the gutless old school but Denzil was treated appalingly. Bayne is by far the better option away from home - he would also be the "grafter" at home which would allow one of the others to play more on the last man - especially Barrowman. Proctor is simply NOT a central defender. I suspect that he will go to right back when Rosscoe is injured. I think he could do a job as a ready replacement fer Duncan - or practically anyone in right midfield. Mourinho's results say it all - as do mine.

I have more letters after my name than the number o bins that you scavenge in every day - I see you are one of the tactical "cretins" who look at the last game and not the season as a whole. Hastings has been playing himself back into form since feckin March !! He may have pace - he may be an OK defender - but he is making too many costly mistakes and he is hardly a positive in an attacking sense - if ya watch closely ya will see that he is often the butt of the other players derision. I agree with you about Rosscoe but he has been inconsistent and is getting targetted more by the shrweder tacticians in the SPL - I like Proctor as a player but he is wasted at centre back and is never going to be there permanently - so why not give Duff the chance - he had 3 excellent games in a row and still got dropped !! I know the "benefits" of wing interchange but we dont do that - Imrie aint a Cole - Cowie isnt a Ronaldo - although I suppose I am close to a Mourinho. the players are evidently uneasy / unsure - given our record this season how can anyone say that it has been successful !!! Wood isnt our most physical forward - Rooney is - so if Wood is first choice - why did Brew bench him against the Jam Tarts - the lad has potential but he not ready - yet. Wilson changed the game - must have missed that !! Dont think I have been advocating starting Wilson - I have been advising to use him for the last 30. As fer Wyness - he was humiliated. Would ya have Bayne in front of Wood, McAllister, Rooney and Barrowman ? Looks like Spectre is as clueless as his imaginary manager friend - Stick to scavenging ya ersehole.

I cannot recall as being so disorganised before ? No it hasnt - this is the first time that I have raised the concerns of the RAFT organisation. It simply needs to be done as poor Craig is a slow learner. At least I dont pretend to be summat or somebody I'm not. And I can assure ya that Craig is taking notice - Have you not noticed how his selections and tactics are following my bidding ? And here was me thinking that it was all about our league and cup performances on the pitch - silly me !! But the last line is probably accurate and says it all about our tunnelled visioned, old school management.

He will be recalled next Thursday.

Brew will paly safe and play the same X1 but it will be very interesting what he will do if Rosscoe is suspended. ESSON PROCTOR DUFF MUNRO HASTINGS ( should be McBain) COWIE (rite) BLACK DUNCAN VIGURS IMRIE (left) ROONEY FRASER; WILSON; SUTHERLAND ; KERR; WOOD; BARROWMAN; McBAIN

From : Professor Johndo MacKenzie; Principle Tactician, The Royal Academy of Footballing Tactics, Chorley, Lancashire. When yer team is sinking - get on the Raft. :D Craig, Initially this season you were given another chance and the slate was wiped clean. Unfortunately your behaviour in class changed little and you continued to be smug, arrogant, self centred and apparently unwilling to accept constructive criticism and/or professional advice and guidance. Your treatment of some seasoned professionals was simply looked at in disdain. However I do note that in recent weeks you have began to take heed of your lessons and you are gradually beginning to change your selections and tactics as has been taught to you. The changes could have been made hastier and I note that there are still areas where ya need to develop further although I can appreciate that you want to do things slowly so that it is not obvious that you havent thought up the changes yerself. I have to say that yer wont fer young boys is encourging and ya have developed the likes of Duff and Vigurs - but watch that ya dont turn young Wood into another Rory. Ya have evidently realised that Ryan Esson is the first choice custodian and has probably earned you a few points and reprieves in the last few weeks. Let us hope that your pig headed protection and blindness to the faults of Mikey Fraser does not continue with some of your other evidently favourite boys. Ya are beginning to learn that 4-4-2 = Home and 4-5-1 = Away :018: One can forgive ya fer sticking to the legend Rosscoe but remember the lesson about how to adapt when a legend is suspended. Unfortunately ya do not have appeared to realise (yet) that yer wee mate Proctor is not - and never will be - a feckin central defender and yer compassion and adherence to the Canadian moose at left back is one of yer major red marks. :015: Ya did well to play and perservere with wee Jamie Duff but your recent trend of ignoring him again brings your mrks down. :D Ya finally have taken on board that yer midfield five should be Cowie; Black; Duncan; Vigurs and Imrie but you inanely continue to play the wide men constantly on their wrong foot instead of interchanging them. :P ;) Your biggest fault is your favouring of Gary Wood - It is quite evident that Rooney should be the lone striker choice up front - how can ya drop Wood, play Rooney and Barrowman at home, play Rooney fer 90 minutes and then - the next game - drop the two and play Wood. In this instance - get a feckin grip man. Look at yer bench choices more carefully - look at Bazza fer the last half hour more often - play McBain where he is most effective at left back. So I will give you a C/D but you could be a B if ya listen to ma wisdom - that is, of course, that you are not deliberately trying to **** aff Black, Cowie and Rooney and you are considering treating Wilson in the same shameful manner that you treated Wyness. :021: Remember - Old Tulloch boy is looking at yer contract - ya may be out on yer erse soon anyway. So stop being a :thumb04: and be more of a :D or :D and Ya

Does it annoy some peeple that I always get it rite - it feckin does ma napper in at times.

Was Sutherland dealt a savage blow or did he tame the savage beast. Lets have a Brew and think about it.

I am a feckin seer fer gawds sake - I know everything but I have to be careful not to break the laws of the seers.

Second best post ever. :thumb04:

Just think about it ?

You actually appear to be agreeing with me Gillian - Blackie would be a great holding player in a better team - and will probably get there in the future - but he is THE only real playmaker at the club at the moment - Vigurs has the potential to take over but aint ready YET. Duncan struggles when he hasnt got Black or Cowie to pass the easy ball to - otherwise I still think that he is one of the best holding players in the SPL and is so reliable - but he is put into the play maker role and fails miserably. I feel that Proctor should be put into the mifield mix more regularly and Vigurs perservered with - Cowie - Proctor - Black - Vigurs - Sutherland (Zander would drop out at home) - that would be my "away" dream team - and save us a lot of spondoolachs. Duncan would be a squad player and would possibly accept that. Smack a mobile forward in front of that 5 and ???
