IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

FRASER :001: :001: :001: Very difficult to make any sort of judgement as he was rarely tested. One fine save in the second half but shot stopping has always been his forte. Still looks nervous about coming off his line - but at least he gave us a wave. ROSSCOE :001: :001: :001: :001: Lets just say that it was a typical day for the foragingCafu Tokely. GRANTY :001: :001: :001: Thought that he looked more assured today but again was rarely stretched. Even became an attacking force in the second half. MCGUIRE :001: :001: :001: To be honest I hardly noticed him. HASTINGS :001: :001: :001: For some reason he still concerns me. He appears more prone to a slip and/or error these days. COWIE :001: :001: :001: Flitted in and out of the game. Great when he was on the ball but missing in action at times. What an engine he has. The free kick was probably fortunate due to the slow response of the keeper but it was well executed. I was a bit disappointed that he didnt move into centarl midfield when Blackie went off. DUNCAN :001: :001: :001: Another who showed some great stuff and some lackadaisical stuff. He strted bt playing the easy ball but tried to overcomplicate the simple pass at times. BLACK :001: :001: :001: :001: I thought that he "bossed" the game before he went off. He is really forming a great partnership with Duncan. ROYSTER :001: :001: :001: What a feckin goal. Still wouldnt be my pick for the left wide spot and I was surprised that he was moved into the centre. I still feel Roy could make the left back spot his own. WYNESS :001: :001: :001: :001: :001: My MOM by a long way. Great movement and great turns. Deserved a hat trick. MARIUS :001: :001: I shall await the flak!! I actually thought that he was going to start to prove me wrong - some lovely stuff early doors - but his lack of pace, mobility and movement were only to clear. Unfortunately he blew two great chances to open his SPL account and he was fortunate not to be hooked before he was. BAZZA :001: :001: :001: :001: Flashes from the past. He came on and turned the game just as Gretna appeared to be taking control of the midfield. Some great wing play and with Cowie going wide right we used the wings to their bet - fer once. BAYNE :001: :001: :001: Gawd does he look hungry and eager to prove a point. Gave us the pace and movement and committment that Marius didnt. The Gretna defence just didnt know what hit them. PROCTOR :001: :001: :001: A utility squad player or is he being earmarked for a specific role - shurely it must be central defence - I have always liked Bambi but would love to see him play 90 minutes of SPL football in the same position. Have to agree with a lot of what Mary Hill has said. It was a scrappy game and to be honest it looked as if we began to cruise a bit in the second half but the introduction of Bayne and Wilson brought us to our senses. Lets face it - it could have been 6 or 7 by the end. And how many were there from Sneck - I thought there were more us than were at the Well game and the singing was non stop and full of caraic. Great day out. :021: .

I aint sitting next to any ghosthunting Hun on a feckin jaunt to Castle Greyskull. I am hoping to be staying the night at the Govan Thistle Hotel. :001:

OK - ?10.75 fer an adult ticket.

I suggest that we also have to take the Away supports into consideration. We must have the steepest prices in the SPL fer the away supports. We can charge the OF cnuts full price but there should be reductions and family packages for most of the other visiting teams. Many of the Away support numbers have dwindled and it is probably becos of support. It is regularly raised as an issue on P&B. Is this not supposed to be Mike Smith's territory. :024:

Save some money - cut them in squares and clean yer erse with them - especially any photties of Doug Rougvie.

Fer fecks sake - If we got him from Cowdenbeath we would be raving feckin mad.

Do these kind of threads belong on the Main Forum ? Personally I am fed up reading about the feckin stewards. :014:

There are undoubtedly legal and contract issue involved from both sides. Rush it and you just end up in more of a feckin mess. Dot all the i's and cross all the t's and nothing can come back to haunt you. Take as long as you like but get it right - for both the club and Richie. If richie goes it may require financial considerations - if he stays the contract could be a lengthy document with a lot of stipulations and boundaries.

I am going to the Family fun day followed by a Coke in the Supporters Club - I am a reformed character. :023:

Note that Proctor played at right back - thougth that he was being groomed fer the central defending slot. Have to say that we looked extremely dodgy at the back at St Midden - not one formation has looked that solid this season - it is becoming a big big problem - and shifting it about aint helping either. Roll on the transfer window. The central four at midden looked as good as I have seen all season - Cowie,Duncan,Black and Rankin would always be my four starters. I wouldnt play Marius away from home and would go fer Brew,Wyness and Bayne in that order.

I can seriously remember the bowl.

Given previous mental state assessments that I have carried out I would suggets that Maimie may be referring to Electro-convulsive therapy. :023:

I think that we should start with the defence.

I am reliably informed that he has been advised not to consider the post by the Romanian Media. :001:

I started off this thread and as far as I am concerned all my criticism has been rationalised / backed up and is constructive. I really dont care how much he is getting paid. I am simply getting more and more annoyed/frustrated that we are sacrificing a lot awaiting Marius to take off. I have always extolled his undoubted technical ability and his "assists" - I am really not that bothered about his lack of goals - I am commenting on his lack of pace and mobility and I seriously question whether he can make it as a striker in the hustle and bustle of the SPL ( he is a typical Eastern European ) and I suspect that his previous injuries are affecting him. IMHO that has been evident from the onset. And judging from this thread more and more people are beginning to agree with me. I would still love to end up eating humble pie becos all I care about is the club - but I really doubt that I will be tucking in.

Hysteria Hits Canada. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I am reliably informed that he was heavily disguised.

Fer fecks sake M4TJ - I agree. :rotflmao: But I think Proctor is higher up the Brew pecking list than Caff.

Anyone want a spare adult ticket fer ?11.00 ?

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: I agree with your team fer Gretna. :001: And long live hysteria. :023:

Player Manager at Ross County - he may feel more at home there. :023: And then no feckin Romanian Media could stop me. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Sorry to be critical but that was one of the few headers that he won in the air - the cross ball to McBain (in yards of space) was crisp but I would expect any professional to play that ball - it was the simple and obvious one. (Most of his passing and lay-offs ares likewise - borne out of experience - an example to Black and co.) The goal game from a great Hastings cross and a great run from Wyness. Marius should have been working his erse off to get in amongst the six yard bix - was he? If Marius worked the line like Wyness - or looked to pass AND move like Brewster - or showed the pace to lie on the last defender and get in behind - then we have got a real player. I doubt if that transformation will ever happen. He looks more and more like a faded attacking midfielder. A Barry Wilson without pace. I have never doubted his technical ability but perhaps he is just not suited to the Scottish game. It is really beginning to worry me that we are perservering week in week out waiting for the transformation to happen and we are heading into a relegation battle if it goes pear shaped. Such is the level of hysterical support and expectation that Marius could score a couple of flukey goals against Gretna and would be hailed as a Legend. :029:

I would agree that he was a better midfielder but he simply is not what he was. MARIUS NICULAE has vowed to bag the goals that shoot Inverness Caley into the top six and keep his Euro 2008 dream alive. While Scotland's hopes of reaching the Finals are hanging in the balance Romania qualified at a canter. A2-0 away win against Luxembourg coupled with Bulgaria's draw in Albania ended the country's eight-year exile from a major tournament. And Niculae hopes an injury-free and scoring run in the SPL with the Highlanders can help him back into manager Victor Piturca's plans. The frontman said: "I have two objectives this season - the first is to score enough goals to get Inverness into the top six. "After that my aim is to get back into the national team. I want to be called back up because I've not played for more than a year.

Same fare again - some great lay -offs - some good passes - a couple of silky twists/turns - but no pace; no penetrating movement; little running off the ball; NO GOALS - hooked AGAIN. If I was playing with him I would be sorely cheesed off. How much longer do we have to feckin suffer.

Brew has always said that he was a central defender. Guess that he will now get his place against Gretna.
