The Antelope v The Rhino

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

From Today's Herald.  :rotflmao:

Beasley against Ross Tokely was an antelope against a rhino, and the American was trampled so often he looked a little spooked and rushed his chances on those occasions when he did break clear on goal.

Daily Ger

Nothing mentioned about Boyd's challenge surprise surprise :023:

Tokely should have gone to be fair but I think at that point a few of the players lost all discipline not just him... he's just the biggest

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

De Beasley is a bit of a whinger. When Alan Thompson too brought his unsuccessful career to Scotland he too whinged.

Unsuccessful players moving to a new league should establish themselves before whinging. Gordon Smith should introduce a no whinging trial for poor players recruited by the old firm who magically are paraded as world beaters.

Wasn't very impressed with him.

Bit of a one trick pony like Sproule all pace and little else  :014:

......"We had a few words later on. He threw out his elbow so I pushed him and then he started saying to me, 'Come on'. I just shook my head and said, 'I'm not scared of you'. It was nothing too crazy.".......

To be fair, Roscoe was very lucky to stay on the pitch.

It was a bit embarrassing after Tokely nearly decapitated Beasley in front of the NS and we got the usual 'Roscoe, Roscoe' chants. He was very lucky to stay on the pitch.

And another thing.....if that'd been Black making the challenges, people would've been on here saying 'get him out the club' etc. Strange how people react to different players.

i agree, i cringed quite a few times when tokely went in on beasley.  :blob09: ha ha

Strangely, early on Saturday morning, I came across Beasley & the other erm, guy Darcheville, gayly clad in tracksuits, doing a spot of loosening up in Fraser Park. (Fraser Park is opposite the Marriot Hotel where the Rangers party were staying)

I was walking Shadow, our elderly pooch when the two guys jogged past us...

Shadow hates it when anyone goes past him without offering a biscuit and decided to have a wee go at Beasley's ankle.....

I'm wondering what kind of impression he now has of Sneck... Attacked by a dog on Saturday morning, and then Roscoe in the afternoon.... :014:

Tokely doesn't do it every match and Black (hopefully not anymore) looked for a yellow card by making at least one awful challenge every match.  It wasn't one incident that got the fans backs up about Black but a run of them... speaking of Black...

ouch

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Classic spot the ball competition although from Boyd's face the ball is not made of leather.

[Guest Arab4Ever]

that tokely is a dirty *******, some of the those challenges were horrific. get the impression he fancies himself as a bit of a hard man

[Alex MacLeod]

The SPL has a fair few defenders who use similar tactics. A certain Mr Robson is not so squeeky clean.

Aye maybe, but you wont meet a nicer hard-man :021:

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

It often amuses me as to the stick that Rosscoe and Black get - it is because they are often so feckin blatant and obvious. Rosscoe's first crack at Beasley was simply to let him feckin know in an intimidatory fashion - the trip was a feckin classic tho - out of sight of every ****, apart from the cameras, and brilliantly executed and disguised.

Darren Dods was a feckin master of it. Some of his off the ball obstructions, pushes and trips were feckin class. But he rarely got caught and rarely looked guilty and that is the art. Reckon Dodsy would have been feckin proud of Rosscoe.

[Johnboy]

He's an absolute gem of a guy.... A gentle giant if ever there was one.... :014:

If he broke both my legs in a tackle I'd be thrilled to bits as long as he signed the plaster casts....  :022:

[tm4tj]

I didn't think there was too much in the first tackle. It's a game for big boys. Not look too bad on tv.

Sorry to say but Tokely is a bit of a Clydesdale horse; big, plently of muscle and not very fast!

Any other team manager must surely know by now all he needs is a nippy winger to skin Tokely every time. He is often caught out of position and therefore his tackles look to be mis-timed and rash.

What about trying him in as a central defender as he is useless where he is!

[Harry Chibber]

I'd play him at centre half... it would be alot easier to find a right back

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Tokeley, I'm afraid will always be caught out by small, nippy wingers.  I don't think he means to be dirty, its just that he is slow and awkward.  He could easily have got a red card on Saturday.  Also, when he goes on his forward runs, which can be an asset, he badly misses Dods, who used to cover for him.

[Guest Arab4Ever]

its good to have a few dirty *******s in a team anyway. by dirty i mean hard tackler, which to be fair isnt exactly the same thing i suppose.
