    FFS! I’ve started another food thingy! You’re behaving like a (spotted) dick again!

    SAOR ULADH,

     

     

    I’m not sure what he is very surprised about as he knows fine well there is no mechanism to appeal a yellow card.

     

     

    Just another shock jock that sold his soul.

    I can only say…..Nooooooooooooo

  5. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    VFR800A8

     

     

    Bit difficult as I am Swindon/Oxford/Southampton/darkest depths of Wiltshire tonight.

     

     

    Don’t give a f… as long as they hear it. I’ve been pleasant and polite for long enough.

     

     

    The way I’ve moved the speakers should mean the neighbours on the other side are ok. If not,Plan B.

  6. ANAL-ISIS. (arse-terrorists?)

     

     

    Gordon – Solid. Saved crucial pen. NOT at fault for 2nd. SHOULD have cleaned out everyone and taken the ball but you cannot account for Janko colliding. ‘One of those things’, rare calamities that kill you. 7/10

     

     

    Janko – slaughtered, but was overloaded on. Damned if he stepped out, damned if he didn’t. Tactics isolated him and they exposed the flaw. Despite the pressure he DID keep on keeping on – never hid, constant engine; showed good mental strength in the face of adversity. 6/10

     

     

    Kolo – A rock; massive benefit of his experince came to fruition last night. Some vital interceptions and blocks and his organisation of the backline subdued their late attacks. MOM for us. 9/10

     

     

    Lustig – Total commitment from Mick, worked his arse off along the line, throwing himself on grenades. no argument here about his contribution. 7/10

     

     

    KT – Another accomplished performance. Cool head, taking direction from his experienced backline, no panic when under the cosh. Great young player we got there. Last night’s experience worth fifty SPL games.

     

    8/10

     

     

    JF – Unfairly subbed at HT, I thought, though assume it was injury/tactical – showing much more confidence and desire this season; energised by BR? His pace is rare and a good fit for the CL. 5/10

     

     

    McGregor – Nope, just can’t see the level of class that has him running about a pitch at this level. Looke dlost last night and wa sa burden to us in ana lready overrun midfield. 4/10

     

     

    Bitton – Lazy big bassa; too deliberate, too flat-footed, and was unusually wasteful. Stood there like a stupefied belisha beacon as the traffic raced by. 4/10

     

     

    Broon – Chasing shadows, beaten in the air for their opener, but he’s the captain for a reason – barking, urging, scrapping, ultimately victorious. In Broon we trust. 100% every game. 7/10

     

     

    LG – Thankless task of chasing poorly-placed direct balls all night. Cannot recall him getting any decent service, though he nearly notched one up with a whipped shot that could have gone anywhere but on a night like last, went straight down the keeper’s throat. 6/10

     

     

    Sinclair – Class. The bhoy’s got it. Great feet, silky manouevres, and workrate – surprised at the last; given his rep for petulance, he ran himself into the ground for the cause last night. Could be a stunning signing if he can keep that up. 8/10

     

     

    Erik – Another bit of class; fine leader to bring on and shore up the defence. Note that once he was in there with Kolo and Mick, they barely got behind us. Formidable 5 they formed; may need it often in the group games. 6/10

     

     

    Moussa – Almost scored a belter; looks like he could grow into a fantastic player for us. Confidence and refinement will come. 6/10

     

     

    BR – Looked like he got everything wrong; The set-up. The tempo. The gameplan. We cannot play the containment game – there’s not enough game-knowledge manifesting among our team to handle a dynamic European opponent.

     

    We NEED to go at CL teams with a HIGH tempo; it’s how we won the first leg (twice!). give our players too much to think about at that level and confusion reigns, then we fall apart. To cope, we could do with some high-quality midfield experience (Mr.Xavi, yer private jet awaits…)

     

     

    Yet we won, and BR got us into the promised land against the odds at the first time of asking after only a couple of months in the job. Lucky? Every successful manager needs luck. It’s part of their make-up.

     

     

    And who’s complaining? Oh, yes – you. That’s right- you, ya lurking Huns. Yer tears taste of bitter orange. And yer wails are sweet music to my ears. Remember what John Lydon told ye – Anguish is an energy…

  7. Regards Craig Gordon

     

     

    There really is no debate.

     

     

    If we as a team have conceded say 12 goals this season so. Off the top of my head, Craig Gordon can be directly attributable to at least 7 of them. That’s a high percentage , over 50%.

     

     

    He has proven his weakness time and time again.

     

     

    Doris will be installed as No.1….very very shortly. That much is obvious

  8. The strategy on Goalkeeper is clear.

     

     

    In short to medium term, Doris will be our number 1.

     

    Longer term, I believe we are still in pursuit of M.Vorm..

     

     

    Within the next 12 months, 2 transfer windows Craig Gordon will either be retired or strutting his stuff with Motherwell or Hibs
