andrew Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Eh? He faces up and the balls simply knocked past him. He then has to wipe the player out and get sent off or allow the player to take a free run at goal. At least when hes sideways he can force the attacker a certain way and hes ready to chase the ball if its knocked past him.The way you want him to defend is just centre half suicide.What's Bulgarian for, 'Make sure there's another defender behind you first and then take the guy out'?I hadn't noticed you putting 'RanDOOmGuy' below RandomGuy.We're all getting a bit 'doomy' just now.

Ando always seems to tackle with the wrong foot and ends up turning his back on the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ando always seems to tackle with the wrong foot and ends up turning his back on the man. I commented at the motherwell game how well he tackles, goes side on and tends to step in with his left foot to block the ball, did it to perfection a few times on Saturday.

tucker Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ando is easily the best tackler in the team his passing was always suspect but has improved greatly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Pretty sure turning side on to a faster attacker is like day 1 defending school stuff, pretty surprised people are questioning that.Executing it properly is another matter I suppose, but it doesn't stop it being what you are supposed to doedit - how did this convo end up in BBC Scotland?

Nelly78 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 According to BBC website Mark Millar is injured and missing for us today. How difficult is it to get a player who's played in the Scottish top flight for about 7 years name right ffs!? john.w and Tranmere Saintee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejksjfc Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I know we shouldn't be surprised at the incompetence of the BBC' s website but surely Saints should be fourth in the League on account of the fact that we have won 1 and drawn 1 and are therefore ahead over our head to head games.

Abernethy Saint Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 SPFPFLP are responsible for league positions, media pay to publish it. My guess is they have gone with alphabetical order until season finished. Fairly academic as we shall gub them on Wednesday. Possibly.

Guest ScottMann Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I've just seen the table on Sky and we're correctly 4th there. Looks like you can get it right if you bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 The offishall SPLFFFPL site has us fifth. My guess is they apply the head to head at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Its the position at the split that counts. Cat among the pigeons if County win on Wed equaling head to head & we end up all square at split. An extra incentive to get at least a draw on wed.

crieffsaintandy Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 First Willie Miller slavouring about the hierarchy in Scottish football on the radio on Wednesday night and teams like ourselves and Inverness should just accept that staying in the top league each year should be as good as it gets, now Strachan at it today saying the top league needs the Hibs and their huge support, so makes it so sweet when ourselves, County, Inverness win these cups and get it right up these patronising, condescending ......, no often I have a smile on my face first thing on a Monday morning, pity though, as most of the Hobos have taken the day off to celebrate their win, just forgot that County were not there to make up numbers, and lie down to this superpower of Scottish football!! (according to Wee Gordon & Nevin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
