Ah ha, thought you could make yersel Neil Younger :023:

I agree 23, the defence needs a re-jig, but we all knew that since Dods signed a pre- contract with United, pity the management only responded with McGuire, a decent journeyman pro, but not the leader we had in Dods.

My Smieymometer reads like this FRASER :003: :003: :003: Similarly, not really his fault at goals, some kick outs were dodgy, and some overhit, he made some clean catches PROCTOR :029: :029: How is your new erse anyway David.........Aluko gave him the runaround, but Sonny is a decent player with pace to burn. McGUIRE :rolleyes02: :rolleyes02: He just gets worse and worse, not up to the job, nuff said. GRANTY :003: :003: :003: :003: Captains display by him, difficult time with pacey strikers and Miller but coped well despite Hastings & McGuire. HASTINGS :029: :029: Canada calling, he is leaving wide players too much space and his crossing is wubbish. ROSSCO :021: :021: :021: :021: :021: Fekkin go on big boy, best performance of the year from you, lookout superman :clapping03: DUNCAN :003: : :32: :33: After scoring a brilliant goal, he gets two bookings, none of which have anything to do with football :008: INVISIBLE MAN :010: :003: :003: :003: Well done Roy, good to know you are there. Cracking goal from a brilliantly engineered move, superb. IMRIE :019: :019: Just inept, I know he is youngish and maybe needs time to adapt to SPL, but can he do it fekkin quicker please. COWIE :019: :009: :003: :015: Got better as the game wore on and learned from Rossco's attitude, set up Duncan and worked hard. NICULAE :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: Just sublime, oozes class, and worked tirelessly, best game yet. HART :003: :003: :003: worth a start if you ask me, and if you don't ask me, still worth a start. PATTI :003: :003: :003: Another one better than Imrie in my opinion, could maybe have done better with late shots, but at least beat defender BREW......... :017: :003: :003: :sillywave: Almost got it right, but listened to the fans too late.

No caley 100 would make a shyte captain :029:

Not keen on McGuire then Richard?

all of the reasons

We ran them close, very close, but for Duncans costly halftime entertainment, we may well have gone on to end the hoodoo, but we will never know. Aside from nutter boy, his goal was similar to the one he scored at Tynecastle, great strike from a neat lay off by Cowie, some 25 yards out. Roy's goal was the result of a great break on the right and a real sharp finish from the invisible man, who showed up today. Disappointed to lose our customary late goal, but the ten men were starting to creak late on, despite Pati having two attempts at goal . Never mind one day, just one day we will sicken the sheepers.

Not the best defensive guys we have, and I agree, Imrie was gash, and not for the first time, but Brew seems to be persevering as he has brought him in, ego stuff.

He was sublime, but Tokely is getting my MoM for his true grit.

Rossco Big write up in the P&J today and epitomised the fighting spirit of the Highlanders today. He is the man4thejob. :021:

Hey Rod, 9.5 out of 10, if we had won, 11 out of 10 :sillywave:

Gutted :019: But a much better performance, Rossco was superb and Marius oozed class, Russell scored a cracker and was needlessly sent off, shame on him. Invisible man popped up to score one of our best engineered goals this season. Gutted for those that stayed on the park, they put in a lot of effort. Doug Imrie needs to be worked on, he was very ineffective. McGuire gives so much away and Proc was given the runaround by the impressive Aluko. I'm still gutted though.

IAN BLACK IS MAGIC CRAIG BREWSTER IS TRAGIC AH OHH OHH OHHH AH OHH OHH OHHH IAN BLACK IAN BLACK IAN BLACK IAN BLACK IAN BLACK IAN BLA-ACK IAN BLACK IAN BLACK IAN BLACK IAN BLAA-AACK IAN BLACK

WE WANT IAN BLACK I SAY WE WANT IAN BLACK

A few of us streamed it live on the net. He did seem to play well, and scored a simple goal, but you have to be in it to win it. tm4tj says well done Marius :021:

Better still, chant Ian Blacks name throughout the match, walking at half time if getting humped.

I was and still am prepared to give him until the end of the season, but recent events are showing his managerial inadequacies up and it looks as though he has reached his limits as a manager at the moment. Is his ego the problem? He seems to want to shift the blame for his inability on to everyone else but himself. Time for a something completely different methinks. :020: :33:

If that is the case, then Brew has completely lost the plot and the only solution is for him to resign.

CaleyD, is this book available in hardback?

:015:

Grooming is an offence :010:

Was that Russell Duncan playing at No 10, I see the passing is still the same.

Well, my mate Wikipedia said In many countries the term local derby, or simply just derby (pronounced 'dur-bee' in American English and 'dar-bee' in British English after the city of Derby) means a sporting fixture between two (generally local) rivals, particularly in association football. In North America, "crosstown rivalry" is a more common term. For example, the "Tyne-Wear derby" in the north-east of England is Sunderland versus Newcastle United, which can be very hostile and in 1996 led to all fans from each city being banned from the other during derby day. The term is sometimes also used to describe major rivalries in which both clubs have substantial regional or national followings. The phrase may have originated from an all-in football game (Royal Shrovetide Football) contested annually between the two halves of the English town of Ashbourne, Derbyshire. This match has been and still is played on Shrove Tuesday. Another theory is that it originated from The Derby, a horse race in England, founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780. Yet another theory is that the 'derby match' saying arose from when Liverpool played Everton. Their two grounds were separated by Stanley Park, owned by the Earl of Derby. This latter suggestion can be discounted, however. The Widnes Weekly News of 9 March 1889 describes a game between the (rugby) football team of that town and the touring Maoris as 'the local Derby'. This usage was three years before Liverpool FC came into existence. Another widely reported, and somewhat more plausible theory (although not accepted by the Oxford English Dictionary) is that the phrase came about from the city of Derby itself. The traditional Shrovetide football match was also common place in the city. It was renowned as a chaotic and exuberant game which involved the whole town and often resulted in fatalities. The goals were at Nuns Mill in the north and the Gallows Balk in the south of the town, and much of the action took place in the Derwent river or Markeaton brook. Nominally the players came from All Saints' and St Peter's parishes, but in practice the game was a free for all with as many as 1,000 players. A Frenchman who observed the match in 1829 wrote in horror, 'if Englishmen call this play, it would be impossible to say what they call fighting'. Another theory is that the term applies, not to the match itself but to the size of the crowd. In the early years of the twentieth century, the largest sporting crowd in England was at the annual Derby horserace meeting where in excess of half a million people would pack Epsom Downs to watch the race. At that time football matches were attended entirely by 'home' supporters - the concept of the 'away supporter' lay many years into the future as the largely working class crowds could not afford to follow their teams around the country. Supporters watched the first team and reserves who were 'at home' on alternate Saturdays. The only exception came when two teams from the same town played one-another. Then the 'home' supporters of both teams would turn up, producing the largest gate of the season. The term 'local derby' was coined by the press as an analogy to the Derby race crowd. In time the expression came to refer to the match rather than the size of the crowd. The only thing that is generally accepted is that the term is in some way linked to the county of Derbyshire. Derbies usually have a much more heated atmosphere between the fans and often the players of the two clubs. For some derbies, an added source of tension between the two clubs can be political or sectarian rivalry. An example of sectarian rivalry is in the Old Firm derby between the two leading clubs of Glasgow in Scotland. The Old Firm Derby is arguably the biggest derby match in sport, due to the profile of the clubs and their historic rivalry. It should be noted that the Old Firm normally takes place four times per season in the Scottish Premier League, thereby making it a more common fixture than other major derbies. In the matches between Celtic and Rangers, Celtic represents the Catholic population, and Rangers the Protestant population of Glasgow. 'Derby' is commonly used to signify matches between teams in the same town or region, however historical national rivalries, such as Ajax Amsterdam v Feyenoord are sometimes also considered derbies as well as major football rivalries. Ironically Derby itself does not have a football rivalry within the City as there is only one major club Derby County F.C.. At one point there was a rivalry within the city between Derby County and Derby Midland, however the two clubs merged. The main football rivalry is generally seen as Nottingham Forest, a team from the nearby city of Nottingham. Well, Kingsmill, I just don't know.
