sleepless Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Well, the start of that match was like Luzern - being slowly roasted by the sun while my retinas burned out. Sadly, the fitba on the park wasn't as hot. Not much of a game, really, but a good goal from Kane, and it means I've gone through the season with a 100% record: seen four, won four (Hearts twice, Well and Partick). I doubt I've ever come close to achieving that before so I'll take it. Next stop Europe. As long as it's not Kosova. Now I'm going to soak my poor tortured knees. I'm too old for Buckie Braes, with or without the dogging. Broggy Man and sixties saintee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBored Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Pretty poor game. We played well within ourselves and once we got the goal seemed to be happy to sit back. Mind you that Hearts team seem content to pass, pass, pass with little end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Good team performance kane took his goal well unlucky to hit the bar after that mannus had some good saves, Craig Thompson played well let's hope that is the start for him and Kano establishing themselves as first team regulars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Another great performance tonight. Kane had his best game of the season imo. Superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Kane and Thomson in the same team because they're both pretty small. You need a big Macca type too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Kane was excellent. Held it up well and played well on the shoulder and got lots of shots away first half. Second half we had 8 men camped in our own half so never got close to supporting the strikers. Old habbits die hard and this team are so used to defending a lead and grinding out wins they will do it even in a seemingly meaningless game. If I was being critical it would have been nice to see them more positive but that's being picky. Terrific first half though. Mannus, Joe, Scobbie, Kane and Swanson all played well though nobody really played poorly. Hearts are rubbish.

AthensSaint Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Great to come back home and watch Saints win with my two boys with me. Great to see some oldfaces and catch up. When we looked at the team sheet before the game, it looked very attack minded. Only small issue I have is the game lacked any real flair or entertainment. Must have seen the smallest Hearts support at Perth ever but who can blame them. Off to Perth Races tomorrow.

Dave H Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well, that is our first pre-season / pre-Europa challenge match out the way. Good comanding performance like a Real Madrid style in first half and turned it around second half, to a replicate a good Juventus style. Decent run out ahead of next month's Europa. Win. Shut out. No reds. No injuries. I'd say roll on the next friendly on Sunday. nickyg, David123, Abernethy Saint and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy rhodes fancy watch Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thomson was pish. Folk glossing over that because he's supposedly a youngster. Coulson can go too, imposter of a footballer. We are the 4th best team in Scotland, these boys aren't good enough and we should be aiming for better.

sleepless Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I don't think Thomson was pish, but I'm not convinced the lad himself believes he should be at this level. He just lacks that bit of confidence. That, and the slightness of his frame, means he can get bullied on the park. And it makes him tentative. That goal he scored, he managed to overcome the tentativeness and just went for it. He needs to trust himself like that more often. I wish him well.
