Ronaldo Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 He looks the part to me. He's ready to be a star.You were right Ronaldo. I apologise for disagreeing with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Finished 1-1. May was poor tonight in all honesty. Won the free kick which Scotland ultimately scored from, but otherwise he just wasn't at the races at all. Having said that, he was isolated at times, particularly in the first half, and did have wee flashes of what he's been doing consistently for Saints. Georgia look a quality side.

I think what you witnessed was the difference in managerial ability between Wright and Stark. Tommy Wright <-----------------------------------------> Billy Stark Wright has managed to come up with a formation and style of play that suits almost every player in our team rather than try to fit players into a formation. I don't think i've ever seen a Saints manager do that in my 20 odd years of watching the club. For me, that ability was what made Sir Alex so special. He moulded players and instilled belief and confidence in them and I think Tommy has done that in Perth Sir Alex knew how to set up teams to really maximise the ability of the guys playing and in many cases have them playing consistantly above their realistic potential. Guys like O'Shea, Brown and Park Ji Sung were decent but I doubt they'd have got the same game time at Chelsea. I see similarities in how Wright has got guys like Scobbie and Millar playing. Wee Nige's form being another example. Edited November 14, 2013 by ryangordon86 Born2Bru, AthensSaint, uphallsaint and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensSaint Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I reckon Stevie May will score a hat-trick against Holland U21's in a 3-2 win. This will instantly add another 500,000 to his transfer value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to keep going to matches that are shockingly bad. At times this season it has seemed to be a case of one extreme or the other, so I kinda get what you are saying. If you have only been to certain games (and not watched highlights of the games you weren't at) then you may well wonder. However, in several games, we have played better, more exciting football than I have witnessed for some time at McD, backed up by a very solid defence and, most of all, goalie Oldermoresensiblepack, jhq and ex-montrosesaintee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 It does seem I have picked the wrong games minus Rosenborg. Minsk, Hearts first league game, St Mirren away, Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al C Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 It does seem I have picked the wrong games minus Rosenborg. Minsk, Hearts first league game, St Mirren away, Hamilton. Don't think any of those games were particuarly "bad"! Minsk was massively disappointing obviously but if we'd taken one of the many chances in the first half it would have been another memorable night. We absolutely bossed Hearts in the first league game and were never in any danger. It was right in the midst of the European run, we played as well as we probably needed to. It was similar at Tynecastle. Aberdeen would probably take a similar result and performance against the same side. St.Mirren away was a horror show defensively but our attacking play was excellent, causing them real problems. We could easily have won 4-3 in the end. Hamilton away, 3-0, very comfortable, never in danger I felt. You are a hard man to please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scobby_SJFC Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Good to see we are building for the future, we could call up Armstrong, Russell, May or Mackay Stevens but no we go for a guy who couldn't hack it 8 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I don't think Boyd being called up has any resemblance to what the national team will be like in the future. A few guys sent home. Boyd just there to make up numbers. When everyone is fit he will be nowhere near the first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cristo Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Boyd will be fine as long as Norway don't have any defenders as good as Captain Dave.
