Munro and Tokely

[+DoofersDad]

Did anyone else notice an incident late in the 1st half not long after we had gone 3 - 0 up when Munro and Tokely were having a right go at each other from a distance of a few yards? With all the excellent singing from section G I couldn't hear anything that was being said but it seemed as though Munro was doing what captains are supposed to do and Tokely didn't like it and was giving a lot of lip back. This went on for a few exchanges until Ryan Esson took a few steps out of his goal and told the 2 of them to cool it.

Is this a symptom of a potentially brittle partnership at the back or was this just a reflection of how fired up everybody was in the first half? I got the impression that perhaps at 3 - 0 up Tokely fancied surging forward to get in the action but was told in no uncertain terms that he needed to stay back. Whatever it was, it was not a very healthy exchange between 2 experienced players whose performance and attitude will probably be more important than any other players' in the remaining games. For us not to blow it, we must stay solid and united at the back.

Nothing to worry about, happens all the time in Football

It was because Munro gave Tokely a stupid pass which eventually led to us losing the ball. Munro then decided to blame everyone else rather than himself while they could all see it was his fault. Munro tends to blame everyone else a lot instead of just taking the flack for his mistakes.

Just 2 pumped up guys who wanted to win last night. Was probably forgotten about by the time the next ball came within 20 feet of them.

Definitely not an issue! More a positive!

I'm sure it was probably more to do with just how "up for it" they, and the whole team, were.

3 goals up, a clean sheet, playing against 10 men and some players were still having a go at each other.

Butcher certainly has them fired up. I think Raith may need crash helmets.
