How many games have you been to this season?"assuming that's where the three are playing"Empty vessels make most noise.Incredible to see what kind of anger people come out with when you have a go at their repulsive mates. Bitter man.Can you explain what is remotely pathetic about my post? There is nothing pathetic about thinking Craig might play wide left and Thompson wide right in a 5 man midfield that doesn't contain Swanson with Spoony thereby being pushed central. Even if it did transpire my guess was incorrect that wouldn't render it pathetic, and given that MacLean started it blatantly was the case there was a feeling he had the better hold-up game even if by all accounts he didn't show it today.

In fact I'm on a high after the three points today, which was a relief and the result was more important than the performance.

bankfoot saint Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 How on earth did Well beat United 3-0 at Tannadice midweek? That's the worst team I've seen at McD for a long time.First half bored me to tears, totally detest 4-5-1 formations and Macca at one point was deeper than midfield collecting the ball so does that make us a 4-6-0 formation at times!Controlled the second half in a much improved performance. It eradicated the boredom memory of the first. I thought the goal was coming and glad our luck changed and we grabbed a late winner.. They are the best winners!Collectively the team played much better than the past few games. Hope this is the spring board for the rest of the season. Ref was shocking for both teams... think Tam should have been sent off, but only booked then to score the winner.. ok. Thanks Ref.agree should have been red but how did Liam get away with no card when he tripped the well boy up stonewall booking Dave H 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali91 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 What a bizarre unprovoked attack. Posting constructive remarks about how we are lining up based on his opinion of players he has seen play before is perfectly valid, no matter how often (as I'm assuming an expat) he manages to get to games.

I've never attacked you just twice recently suggested you've brought up my argument with AS unnecessarily, in both instances after you'd brought it up unnecessarily. I don't think I've had a single other interaction with you on here, and indeed enjoy most of your posts including u20s reports until this strange episode, but please highlight these attacks. I also don't send anything for you to receive, tripe or otherwise, what you've written makes it sound like I've PMed you which has never occured.As others are saying, I don't see what was either pathetic or 'empty' about my pre-match lineup hypothesising, regardless of how it turned out, and I'm sad you've resorted to trying to resort to the 'real fan' argument.As an expat, I'll have to wait for the highlights to see the game, interested to see just how MacLean played, bearing in mind my attacked pre-match comment predicted his mobility would need those around him to do extra work. Those who saw Thompson, to try and help the mental picture of those of us who weren't there, what was it about his game today that drew criticism? Was it anything beyond lack of experience?

bluesaint Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Jeezo come on you lot, doom and gloom woh is me blah blah, let's all just be bloody happy that we have a win to celebrate, dunno about you guys but for me the last 2/3 months has been torture, onwards and upwards that's what I say, let's just be happy, any win would have done today, I couldn't careless it was the points that counted HOODLUM65, Shibbydoo, Jiangsu Sainty and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jings Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I disagree about Tam. That wasn't a break from the referee. It was never a red card offence. Only time that is a red is if the player is clean through on goal and the defender is denying a goal scoring opportunity. Tam had no chance of getting near the ball, and took the player out. Kicking an opponent in an off the ball incident IMO. Similar to the one we had against UTD a few seasons ago, and almost in the exact same spot.

Denzil Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Refs are so bloody erratic that on another day with another ref Tam would have seen red.

Was it anything beyond lack of experience?I would imagine that TW told Thomson to concentrate on providing cover for Fisher, and not to go charging up the park too early in the game. As we were punting the ball to Maclean for an hour or so, the laddie had very little chance of getting involved offensively. He didn't do too much wrong, he simply wasn't receiving the ball in threatening areas. His time will come.

RandomGuy Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thomsons still getting used to the pace of the senior game, had a wee burst in the second half where he beat a man or two then had a shot blocked. Seems to struggle to find the correct position to be in when attacking and defending though. That should come with experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Felt sorry for Thomson. Was never going to be a game for him. Defenders punting it 70 yards, midfielders punting it 40 yards and striker not able to hold it up. He was quiet but he's a ball playing winger who needs it on the deck.

Similar to the one we had against UTD a few seasons ago, and almost in the exact same spot.was cynical, was right in front of where I sit but hardly made any connection, the guy went down like he had been shot, but as soon as he saw it was a yellow jumped up and started moaning at the ref, it's no often saints benefit from these decisions, but no doubt the Beeb will fit it into their 30 second slot tomorrow night.Absolute awful game but feels bloody good getting that winning feeling back, onwards and upwards Dr Christmas Jones, Aitchy, Denzil and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I still don't understand how he got away with it The yellow is usually given for the clear intent. It was pretty funny actually. The standard of refereeing is getting worse. Surprised to see so many folk think Tam could've seen red. Maybe need to look at it again. It just looked like one of those "taking one for the team" incidents.

It just looked like one of those "taking one for the team" incidents. it was. But he was so far away from the ball and he really did lunge in with the sole intent of wiping the boy out.as I say, I personally think when the intent is to play the man that's far worse than a mistimed but honest attempt to play the ball which we've had plenty red cards for.

Ali91 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 The first thing I said after he made the tackle was 'what colour is this going to be?' The boys I was with told me not to be daft it was obviously a yellow but I've seen folk sent for that. Complete swipe at the Motherwell player. I think it was a yellow but I don't think he could have complained to vigorously if he was sent off. Braw header though, what a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I thought it was a great tackle. Hard as phuck and wiped the guy oot. He wasnae so keen to get involved in the game after that.. Great to see at least one player with fire in his belly who didnae shite himself and was prepared to t*** the opposition..

As much as I like Scobbie, it might have been a smart foul but there is nothing brave about slicing someone down from behind, you'd be apoplectic if that had been the other way around. dave mc, Nelly78, slambrother and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
