The ghost of Jim Morton Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Right.It,s time for the team to get their collective arses in gear,roll their sleeves up and give us a performance that will send us to Hampden a week on Sunday filled with hope and belief that we can progress to the final.The last few weeks have frankly not been good enough.We have created a lot of chances in some of the games,granted,but overall we have been well off the pace.Last weeks game at Hamilton was the cherry on the icing, on the cake. Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!We need to get a decent result and the players need to get the winning feeling back.I,m pretty sure it,s going to be a shite crowd again which is disappointing as well.We desperately need some atmosphere going at McD. Maybe the visit of Davie Irons will get us gee,d up a bit.I hope so. I want to see fight,determination,style,skill,thought,belief and chartecter on Saturday.I want to see flowing football with slick passing moves,the ball being played on the deck and the team getting some width,with players getting to the bye-line and crosses of quality being swung into a packed goalmouth....What I don,t want to see is a laclustre,insipid display of ineptitude and bone idle laziness with huge punts to know one in particular and the concentration levels of small insects. You may think I,m asking for too much and I probably am but they are capable of it so why should,t we expect it..The team?????I honestly haven't got a Scooby,but I,ll give it a whirl as it would be rude not to. Main?/Tucuth Irvine,Rusty,Anderson,Stanic. Morris?/Quinn?/Weatherston Craig,Moon, Sheerin McBreen?/ McDonald, Jackson Subs.Tucuth/Main,Hardie,James,Weatherston McDonald,Milne... I've heard that Morris is doubtful as is Rocco.Main I,m not sure.I,d have McBreen on from the start if he,s okay after the reseve game.... Whats your opinion??????

templeofsaints Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 If there are any doubts over Rocco and Jody they won't be risked. Either way though I still want to see us go out for the win - there's pride at stake and the need to shove it right up Irons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkfish Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 We won't be allowed to play yon trialist will we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 We won't be allowed to play yon trialist will we? Pretty certain we can't but the amateur route might be open to us. I don't think we'll do that though and he's headed back down south anyone, although is coming back next week. Can't see Morris or Quinn featuring and would guess McInnes will want to get Hardie more game time ahead of next week. Del is saying all the right things about the game but he's pointed out himself that Morton will be aggressive and look to get in about us. Irons will know that they have to do that as our players might not fancy it and I do worry that our guys won't want to risk missing out on next week. Good to hear that James, Hardie and McBreen are progressing but I think Hardie is the only one that has a chance of starting either game. Main Irvine - Rutkiewicz - McManus - Stanic Hardie - Moon - Craig Jackson - Milne - MacDonald Subbies: Tucuth, Anderson, Sheerin, Weatherston, McBreen. Be good to get a look at Chris Millar ahead of next season as well. Really excited about his arrival as the Morton fans have been raving about his performances over the past few months.

Finners Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 i cant see any fans being too up for this but i will be totally expecting Del to get the players riled up and get a confident win against morton. I think the players will be taking this game very seriously as well due to it being the last game before the semi! Mon saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
541ntees Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I think the players will be up for this one knowing cup places are there for the taking but then that didn't inspire them last week. Del has some tough decisions . I think he'd like to try his cup team without risking anyone with niggles. Not sure if he'll go 433 or 442 like last week? so my team is- Main Irvine Rusty Ando Goran Craig Hardie Mooner Sheerin Jacko Milne Subs-Bert McManus Morris(needs some match practice before cup so would give him last 15) Peaso McBreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Saint Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 From OS: Some long-time absent players come into the starting line-up for this afternoon’s match against Morton. Kevin James and Martin Hardie both put months of injury anguish behind them and David Weatherston joins them in the eleven. Daniel McBreen gets a place on the bench SAINTS: Main, Irvine, Stanic, Anderson, James, Craig, Weatherston, Hardie, Jackson, Milne, Sheerin. Subs: McManus, Moon, MacDonald, McBreen, Cuthbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jings Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I don't think big Kev & MMM will be the least bit apathetic about this game. It's about cup semi's and careers for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Saint Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Think any apathy will come from the fans. Looking at the team today James and MMM are only 2 of a few in the 16 that want to stake a claim for the semi. Tomorrow's Partick v Rangers game has more bearing on our season than todays game has. Obviously still always want to see Saints win, but most fans will have more than one eye on next weekend's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Saint Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 More from OS: Two headed goals from top goalscorer Andy Jackson have given Saints a 2-0 lead over Morton at half-time in today's game. The first came from close range when he got on the end of a David Weatherston cross in 23 minutes and then he headed home in some style from further out just four minutes later after meeting a pinpoint Liam Craig cross from the left.
