After every experimental line-up (such as Friday’s), it’s tempting to ask what the manager learned from the experience.
The partnerships on the left and right wings didn’t look right. Emilio Izaguirre didn’t overlap as often as usual and Stuart Armstrong was less effective than normal. A lack of space impacted the James Forrest-Adam Matthews partnership on the right. Forrest was manhandled until he switched left or got inside the box, when he was able to play unhindered.
Ineffectiveness on the wings led to the same up front. Anthony Stokes doesn’t get to play centre forward too often and didn’t really get much of a chance on Friday. Stokes anonymity was the most glaring aspect of the game but I suspect the responsibility lies elsewhere.

4 Dec 1982 LC Final beat Oldco 2-1,my 21st birthday,what a present.HH Was bucketing the whole game
Jamesgang quitessential always reminds me of the banner at ibrox a few years ago, about them being the quintessentially british club. Haha and ha.
The british club who wouldn’t pay british tax
Lennybhoy-i Know Jim Stewart was in goals that day mate,Campbell Money was a coach with St Mirren at the time i’m sure.He was going nuts….:)) HH
I’ve just watched it again myself Dr M and clearly saw my dearly departed brother with hoops on and scarf held high at 3:50, id usually break down at this point but just feel proud.
Also saw the big man once on C4 when they did GAA walking out of croke park with the hoops on.. Was a bit gobsmacked as I thought he was upstairs sleeping off a hangover !

Easter 2015 Derry.
Motherwell with McDonald , Pearson and Big Mick will not lie down to Huns

The game in question is much too important for anyone to simply lie down.
Relegation would mean huge pay cuts-at least!-for all concerned. That will mean more than anything else on the day.
I hope!!

I got a lump in my throat reading your post….Yer brother will be smiling down knowing the treble is on and some wee diddy team rejoice in going second in the first division. HH
What’s the craic with McNamara getting a cut of transfer fees ????

Looks like he can play a bit.
Get him signed up.
Great strip.
Great goals.
Crap pitch
Great memories

Bada bing talking of campbell money, do you remember the joke going around in the late eigthies about players playing in the premier league whose name had an association with money. Campbell money being the obvious one.
That pitch atTannadice is an utter disgrace.
No wonder Ronny has been complaining.
Bada i should have said was associated with betting not money. Sorry.
Good fenian fae the rock the bhoy McIntyre.
Well done James.
Thanks Sipsini,
I think it will be a great time to bring the family. I will come back to you.
Thanks again,
Jamesgang,
If you have time drop me an e mail at, dublin2016@mail.com. I am just trying to keep an eye on numbers and make sure that fellow posters are involved.
Thanks again,
Clogher

Dallas-i don’t mate,too naughty for here……?
Keeping the faith
Its good to have those memories especially of loved ones who are no longer with us.
The story of your brother being somewhere when you thought he was someone else reminds me of meeting a workmate in the middle of Trafalgar square full of bhoys at 8 in the morning for o’learys testimonial and he was looking for a phone box to get a days leave.
Dallas-yes i know that one.
!!bada bing!!

HH jamesgang
Clogher, Have you any rough plan of campaign worked out yet. I heard you mention basing some part of the trip in Drogheda.
PF
Obviously something he learned from PL. 8))
Corkcelt
I’ve seen the plans mhate.
Reads like this:
1. Gazebo – big wan
2. Garden for gazebo (Speak nicely to Corkcelt)
3. Guinness, shed loads .
4. Keep repeating 3 till we all fall down.
5. Remove ACGR from the still cos it’s empty
6. Fried breakfasts x 60. (speak nicely to Corkcelt)
Sounds to me like it’s sorted Bud!
