nogbad the bad

Thats quite a problem, two equally enticing scenarios. IHE quite likes the scouse derby idea, but then again he's also attracted to the Killie in the cup/lesbian choice. Very tricky, which way will he decide. Well, there's only one way to find out.....................!!!

According to the Mail on Sunday ( I get it for the free DVD ) we had Derek Stillie in goal for us yesterday....where do they get these reporters from.

where is duff?

Its not an issue, we need them all. Just because things worked out well yesterday does,nt mean they always will. Long term injuries, suspensions, tiredness and loss of form, even the odd jail sentence can all come along and upset the apple cart. For the 4 who began yesterday we have cover in Imrie, Proctor, Gillespie and Duncan and for this year Wilson. We will probably need them all before the seasons out. Also different types of player may be more suitable for certain games than others. We forget quickly what influential games the likes of Russel Duncan in the holding role have had against the big teams like Rangers and Celtic. I,d be a little more circumspect in what you wish for when it comes to dumping one of our most (and only) experienced senior players.

That's 4 Under 19 victories on the bounce against seasoned Highland League opponents. I take it that's quite impressive. Is it?

Audrey Hepburn dubbed by Marnie Nixon, Pimple......not Rex.

Save your breath Starchief, I've been calling for Ross to be given a run at centreback for years now, even as far back as the 2nd division days, no one ever takes a blind bit of notice. If he had been introduced to the ways of central defence years back, we may by now have one of the better CHs in the Spl. On the other hand, I'm no coach or manager, so may be missing something in his play that would make him playing there unsuitable. Even Paterson who was his footballing mentor and knew him better than anyone only tried him there a couple of times and then dropped the idea.

As always , hard to tell much from first proper friendly, so read with caution................... Barrowman has a bit about him, given quality service he should score at least 10-15 goals in the SPL. Compared to Wood and Rory he's a Torres. Zadi should cause defences a lot of problems this year......our own! Evans the Trialist; looks like he'll carry that tag for a while yet, until he settles in at a nice mid table 2nd division club. Imrie appears to be carrying on his improvement and should be a positive force for us this season. Zander looked fast and lively but tended to run into dead ends with no creative outcomes....much refining still needed. Our defensive unit looked better in the 1st half when Grant was organising but very poor once he left the game....much work still to be done there, although to be fair Brewster played 2 up front supported by 4 attacking midfielders and a mad left back, leaving huge gaps for County to exploit.... I can't see us playing that system very often. Our best player? Probably Black, his usual hard tackling, calmness on the ball and good distribution, plus, he kept his cool despite some provocation....which is more than you can say for Rossco. Team for Aberdeen? Fraser Tokely McGuire Munro Hastings Wilson Cowie Black Imrie Niculae Barrowman Same old, same old, I'm afraid......still, if we could change the habit of a lifetime and register some early victories for once, the confidence might take a boost and who knows what might lead on from there.

Guzz, this is gobbo. Sorry i'm late, will once more hand over the money to The Sponge who will probably pass it on to the nearest barman.

Interest from QPR! Yes Please. Are'nt they part owned by a multi billionaire. Hold out for ?2 million grassa.

'gorgie,s hagiography on robbo's managerial career seems TGTBT......I suspect a Fifth Columnist.

Seems to me the future of the Brewster/Thompson/Savage axis is inextricably linked ( dont know about Grassa ). Nothing will happen this year, no matter what results the team produce, mainly because of the non-relegation situation but also because of the huge egos involved. I'm sure Brewster has already persuaded Savage to ride out this season and await the new team moulded in his own image for 2008/09. Consequently it will be the first 10 games of next season that decide the fate of the management and board. So I guess we might as well keep our powder dry until then and carry on backing the lads as best we can, they may be awful at present but I still believe they care.

Just in defence of Rossco, Macbandy......in case you were not watching closely at the time. The Falkirk goal came as a direct result of Blackie losing the ball in midfield after trying something just a little bit too clever immediately after he had been announced as man of the match over the tannoy. Just to put the record straight.

They looked just awful against Celtic at the weekend. I honestly think they are the worst team in the spl at present and if not careful will continue to freefall into relegation, Gretna notwithstanding.
