Airdrie Utd V ICT :Matchday Thread
A point was a good result yesterday. I think that pretty much sums up how bad we were Esson did well for saving the pen and Hayes did well cos he scored the goal. Rooney was our best player for the time he was on the park Bulvitis had a nightmare. He kept lunging into tackles and I dont know what he was thinking for the pen, Tackle from behind no where near the ball it was a stonewaller Stratford well I have always had doubts about him and today has made me have even more doubts. He was our worst player along with Bulvitis Everybody else played crap as well so I think a point was a good result based on the performance. We only turned up for the last 5 mins.

5th and 6th officials
Dont agree with this at all. It is just going to confuse the ref even more as if he thinks it is a penalty but the new linesmane disagree you will be left in an akward situation I wish they would get technology. It would take less than a minute for a man in the stands to say if it was a pen or not and that time would probably be spent arguing if they were not to introduce it. Maybe not even have this at all. Would football really be the same if we had it. What would we have to talk about Also I reckon it would be a lot more sensible to put a chip in the ball and some sensors in the goalposts to see if the ball crossed the line

Eduardo
They had to scrap the 2 match ban IMO. Only becuase a few weeks ago they said that they would not be doing it for any more diving cases. You cant ban one player and not the rest I do think that he deserves to get banned but everybody else who dived would need to be banned as well which as they said is not going to happen so they need to be consistent so they shouldnt ban Eduardo

improving the home form
It shouldnt really matter how far they are from the away fans. It would help if they would just make a bit of noise. The away fans will aways get more banter as they will probably have had a drink or 7

improving the home form
When I was watching the Ayr game I dont think it was that we were too defensive because we controled the game and we played most of the game in the Ayr half. One major problem that I saw from that game was that when we got into the final third the player were too scared to just hit the ball at goal. You felt as though if they didnt get a shot on target they would never play again so they tried to walk the ball in. I do agree that we probably could have been more attacking by getting the LB and RB to overlap the wingers on every occasion we get the ball in the oppositions half and just leave to 2 CB's and one of the CM to cover any counter attacks and when the players get a opening they just have to have a go and if it goes off target I would be dissapointed yes but glad that they had the effort rather than ***** footing about always wanting somebody else to take the responsiblitiy. I also think that now we are trying to keep the ball on the ground more often and dont want to hoof the ball long. Playing the long ball never worked for us in previous seasons because we never had a target man. Playing long balls to the likes of Wyness and Dargo is stupid and we still dont really have a target man so the ball has to be played on the deck preferably out to the wings to see Hayes get to the byline and swing one in the box or for Tokley to go steaming outside of him and he swings it in instead I definetly agree that we have been too narrow over the past few years every since the likes of Barry Robson left the club. Butcher has recognised that and has brought in Hayes who loves to get to the byline and I reckon Imrie will be the same when he gets back fit.

Morton -V- ICT : Matchday Thread
I dont think he would do that well in thier. His biggest strenght is his pace so I reckon it would be a complete waste to have him behind the 2 strikers where he would not be able to run at defenders as often as he would on the wing. He is also very good at crossing so for me he should be out on the wing everytime
-
Morton -V- ICT : Matchday Thread
I saw Foarn clapping towards the fans as the team came out onto the pitch at the start of the game and he did the same when he cam off the pitch I think. He didnt do anything at half time but if that was the only thing you were worried about at the match I think we are doing pretty well

Top of the League and your no
The season isnt over yet and its only being 5 games into the season hardly shocking Well if we have been "pretty shocking this season" and still only find ourselves 2 points off the top of the table. Everybody must be shitting themselves for when we do start playing well according to your theory

Sanchez: Caley Workhorse
Scored a really good goal but then it was disallowed for Offside which I reckon was slightly harsh Agree with everything you said. A really good performance I didn't see across the line but the Morton fan sitting with me thought there was nothing wrong with it. Nevermind, we can see it on football first......oh, wait, it's not on anymore. How long have we been out of this division for? 5 years I think I didnt think he was offside but the Lino was shocking in the first half

Team fer Coatbridge United game
Doubt that would happen. Foran and Sanchez were very good today. Their is no chance of Rooney getting a start ahead of them (unless it is in the NOS Cup Final tommorrow)

Morton -V- ICT : Matchday Thread
That is one of the easiest wins I have seen in a long time. We never needed to get into top gear and strolled through it. I think Morton are going to be getting relegated this season if they keep playing like that. It was a good performance from us and it is brilliant to score 3 goals away from home no matter who you are playing against. Their is definetly room for improvement but as long as we keep winning its all ok Esson - Made one good save in the first half and didnt have much else to do but when he was called into action he looked very solid Tokely - Good performance. He didnt seem to want to jump to try and win headers in the second half and their No 10 was winning everything against him. I find that very weird because if he did throw himself about abit Tokley would win the ball more often than not Bulvitis - Played well but he tries to do everything too quickly if he slows things down he will be a very good player. He wins a hell of a lot tackles cleanly which is obviously what you want from a CB Munro - Wasnt spectacular but was solid Golly - He might not have the armband but he is the captain. He is the one telling everyone what to do and where to mark. He looked a bit shaky untill he got a knock to his head and played very well from their on in. So far it looks like he is going to be a great signing. Though I do miss the tension of wondering what the hell Lionel is going to do when he gets the ball. Everything seems to be calm which is actually very good for us Eagle - Did ok. He is nowhere near as good as Hayes and I think that is what is making me undecided about him. When you see what Hayes does you want Eagle to do the same thing but he dosent. Imrie will replace him when he is back from injury Stratford - A solid display. Didnt do anything that caught the eye but didnt seem to make any mistakes Cox - A quiet game for him considering the standards he has set in the games so far. He still played well and is going strong for us. He doesnt look the same without the cast Hayes - He just seems to run and run and run. He can cross the ball very well in all. He is going to be a massive player for us Sanchez - Works his balls off today. Lots of nice touches and layoffs and took his goal very well. He scored a brilliant goal before it was 1-0 but was offside. My Man of the Match Foran - He was miles better than the Morton defence. He was stronger and had more pace. The only problem was the defence we playing too many long high balls to him and he was not as effective trying to win the headers. He took his goal very well and he showed that if he gets the proper service he will get 20 goals this season. Proctor - Scored a good goal but didnt do much else Barrowman - Didnt really have enough time on the park Rooney - Same as above Oh and I forgot to add what the hell was the crack with Mortons Directors at the game. They were the ones shouting abuse at our away fans, I expect that from the normal fans but not from the directors

What would be your preference?
League wins every time. This season is all about trying to get back to the SPL. I dont really care about the cups although it as always nice to get a cup run

Scotland
After seeing the second half performance against macedonia and the whole game against Holland I really dont think we should be sacking Burley. I know you could bring up all the previous games that we didnt play well but I reckon if and that is a big if we can keep playing like we have in the last one and a half matches we could be a hell of a lot closer to qualifying for Euro 2012 than we were this time. I think that Burley should be given a chance to take us to Poland/Ukraine and if that doesnt work out then get rid of him Oh and Sack the Board, They are a disgrace to Scottish Football. What the hell was Peat thinking about when he made those comments before 2 of the biggest games in the campaign. What a way to get the confidence flowing. He is a tube And Smith has been a joke as well. The whole Eduardo thing proved that I think. I know he did dive but why did he have to make such a big deal about it when lets be honest it would have made no difference and if any scotland player takes a tumble we are going to be royally ****** just because he had a winge at UEFA

Morton Roll Call
No idea what time I will be there. The bus leaves at half 9 but the roadworks outside Glasgow are mental. I wask caught in them last Saturday and on Wednesday. Got stuck for about an hour going both ways. Hopefully the road wont be too busy tommorrow

Morton Roll Call
Quality. Shame on you both. Cappielow is a great Scottish football ground, the like of which we are seeing fast disapper in age age of prefab lunacy. A wooden main stand, two ends of terracing (one closed, forever), an enclosure with a holey asbestos roof, a long walk to outside toilets with a concrete pee-tray painted in club livery, and a shambolic pebble-dashed 60s inn selling cheap watery beer less than two minutes from the turnstiles. Does this sound like a shithole to you? Dam right it does :boldblue: Where abouts is this bar? I could do with a few pints before the game :D

Im going. My first time going to Cappielow. I have been told it is a s**t hole. I cant wait

Scotland team for Holland
Loved the game last night. Thought it was a brilliant performance despite the defeat. We need a natural goalscorer which Miller is not. He was great at running into space and his workrate was unbelievable but he is not a finisher at that level. If we can keep playing like we did last night and in the second half of the macedonia game I dont see why Burley should leave but I cant see him being here for the next qualifers. Love Hampden it is a brilliant stadium and the atmosphere was brilliant
