IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Boring bestards like Dougal don't know what having the craic is.

Whats the point in reaching the play offs ? Good feckin question. I honestly do not think that we expected to and this was going to be a year of consolidation - mainly in a financial sense - and that is why we have the current Board. I am however beginning to want the "books" to be explained. There has to be a clear, albeit rigid business plan in place. Some fine posts on this thread. I think that it must be obvious who the first choice back five should be - Ridgers, Rooney, Donaldson, McCart and Tremarco. I feel a bit sorry for Brad MacKay as he has needed to fill in a few positions this season. He also appears to have become the scapegoat and the main target of crowd derision. Polly can make a mistake or two in a game but a defender cant. BUT what can Robbo do when he has Ridgers, Donaldson and Tremarco out at the same time. Me I might have considered putting the old head of Welsh into the central defence. I also feel that Robbo does have a point about the home crowd although that is not the main reason for the poor home form. Would I be right in saying that our away record has often surpassed our home record over a period of years ? Midfield I feel is a first choice of Polworth, Chalmers, Welsh and Walsh. But again it is the dilemma of who to play when we lose one of them. At the moment we are missing Walsh and his probable first choice replacement Doran. I would have hoped that we could be giving the likes of McGregor and Daniel McKay (where is he up to ?) and it puzzles me as to the loan signing of McDonald. Only time will tell but it appears that he was hooked and that will not do his confidence any good. Is he too lightweight for the Championship ? (Now that could be a bad bit of business). I have no doubt that McCauley will start the next game but in what position. He sounds very, very much like Walsh to me. Have we signed him as an out and out forward and a replacement for Oakley ? And who do we put up front with him. I really don't know. Do we go height and pace or pace and pace. Oh and finally remember that to begin with yesterday Robbo did NOT have Ridgers, Donaldson, Tremarco, Walsh, Doran or Danny McKay available. I bet that most posters would have at least 4 of them starting every week.

Great post Juggernaut and I am almost 100% in agreement. Does anyone disagree ? Lets just go for another pisss off about this forum. Loads of criticism BUT when was the last time that we had a pre-match thread talking about what formation and what team that we should play. It rarely happens these days. I suspect that no poster actually knows their first eleven ? So lets start at he back - 3 or 4 - Who would your first choice be and who would your back ups be ?

There isn't a master stroke SA - and perhaps even you could chip in with a believable solution for once - I suspect that you may even be capable.

Oh I am being totally serious. If you don't have a feckin answer then stop posting criticism.

I have very clear ideas - BUT - come on what is the solution - How would you GET us into the play offs ?

Oh dear - and for the large majority of this season this forum was more intent on haranguing the Board and off the pitch issues. Our flaws are ON the pitch. What we have to do - no feck that I will start a new thread. Oh and a wee clue - is Robbo safe ?

ITS GOING TO BE A FECKIN DRAW

Oh No _ Alan Simpson was right again.

?

Tremarco probably not quite ready for two games in a week - certainly looked fecked at the end at Ayr.

Soon all we will have are our memories ?

Including anybody with a personal "axe" to grind - I know how it feels to be the victim ?

The Dougaldome ?

Or it could be tasting Premiership football, better pay and Central Scotland ?

Oh my gawd - does that mean that all those concerns about Allan MacKenzie were unfounded ?

Personally I feared that we would be in a relegation scrap this season and would have accepted a safety position at the off. I have to concede that the Oakley transfer is an odd one but we have added McCauley and McDonald and we have three "big" players to return and I still hope that McGregor and Danny McKay can make an impact.

Did anyone notice who the Seer left out of the Smileymometer ?

Nicky Clarke on loan from the Arabs ?

You would never fit in to the Hamilton Young Team.

So why hook Austin at Ayr ?????

Exfeckinactly - I have booked in for the Saturday and Sunday and that is now fooked.

Wouldn't bet on it.
