Derek Patterson Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Incidentally what in the hell is the Jags mascot? Appeared to be a purple toucan with several tails. Never seen it on any previous visits. Looks like someone was mushied when they designed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintj Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Jackson - Awesome performance. Does not need to lose weight. Brilliant shielding/protection of the ball today. Used his bulk to great effect. I'm obviously on my own here but... I wsn't impressed by our defence today. Thought the full backs too often covered for centre-backs who went wandering. This in turn restricted their forward forays. Thistle are poor up front yet, my heart was in my mouth on many occasions. I counted four instances of Irvine heading a clearance from the centre of the goal. Irvine was immense today, great to hear his name being cheered to the rafters. Pitching and Moaning: Can the posters slagging the pitch give me one example of a bad bounce or bad run? I slated the pitch when I first clapped eys on it, but it appeared to play very well. i completely agree, we were caught out a few times at the back, good job irvine and hanlon had good games i think it is time holmes was dropped in favour of sammy or savo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Couple of responses to player comments: Jody Morris - brilliant first half, played much higher today and looked more tenacious than ever. Dropped deeper in the second half and as a result our strong shape was knackered. Liam Craig - brilliant play, as ever; truly bizarre, to see him moved to the right wing. Really highlights how weak we are on the right. I'll gladly pay Swankie's bus fare back to Dundee, what a kiff. Paul Sheerin - the guys past it. Jackson - Awesome performance. Does not need to lose weight. Brilliant shielding/protection of the ball today. Used his bulk to great effect. I'm obviously on my own here but... I wsn't impressed by our defence today.

Pitching and Moaning: Can the posters slagging the pitch give me one example of a bad bounce or bad run? I slated the pitch when I first clapped eys on it, but it appeared to play very well. Observations: *The lack of consistency from our rivals, combined with our own steely unbeaten run, is winning us the league. *It's worrying that we still haven't filled left back or right midfield slots. *Great to see Craig and Jackson on song; the future looks exciting. *Mooner must start against Dunfermline, his passing, harrying and vision are unsurpassed. Bring on the Pars! Roll on 25/4!! Apart from what you said about Liam Craig I absolutely disagree with everything you said about the other mentioned players What you said about Sheerin is unforgivable, how very dare you I fail to see the love affair with Morris, today was his best game this season but we would be better with Hardie (when fit again) Jackson did nothing today and blew a really good chance again, for a small guy he's really slow, he does have a great touch though just no idea how to use it Swankie had a decent game today, if Holmes would run to the near post when we are breaking he would actually have something to aim a cross at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sammy Johnston Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Paul Sheerin - the guys past it????? What game where you at??? Everyone is allowed their opinion but thats p**h!!! I thought Sheerin had a solid game today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scobby_SJFC Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 You just want to give Jacko a hug and try to get his confidence up, you can see him trying but just needs that goal again!!! Couldnt believe the critisism that Homer was getting today round me, the guy won more than his share of headers and yet people were moaning, cut the guy some slack Swankie well where do you start? dont know how to describe him, one minute he a genius the next hes awful and wimps out of a tackle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 hardie over morris, no chance, morris has been a much better player for us this season Rubbish, Hardie has scored at least one important goal Morris has neither set anything up or contributed anything positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbaysaint Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Next week is a massive game we could be 8 or 2 points clear by the end of next sat. Does any one know if savo will be playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not pick out passes, 99% of his passes are over 2ft to Rutki, Irvine or Craig The result is then a big pump up the park, he is a midfielder who hardly ever plays the ball to a striker He does not make himself available after he has passed the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macarius Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 While I agree that a large portion, nothing like 99% you miserable hyperbolic ****, of Jodys passes are ball retention passes too the fullbacks, stating that he doesn't make himself available after passing the ball is a blatant lie. I'm all for opinions, but you might want to actually watch jody play next time your at a saints game. That way you might, y'know, realise your an idiot lacking in perception.

saintj Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 jody brings other people into the game, if the strikers dont make themselves available why would he pass to them? he picked out a few passes today, try watching him its not his fault if rusty punts it and what exactly has hardie brought to the team this exluding 1/2 goals?

Macarius Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm a keyboard warrior because i'm pointing out you are wrong? I've personally seen with my own eyes Morris make passes and run himself into space looking for the return. Therefore I am right, your "opinion" is incorrect, i'm not being a keyboard warrior i'm just pointing out you are wrong. I know its difficult to accept when people are telling you that you are wrong. But trust me. You are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macarius Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Compared to Morris, Hardie is better at getting the ball wide and forward, yes. But he doesn't have the movment that Morris has or the determination. Especially this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macarius Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Oh yeah patsy I'd have morris over hardie any day. Especially when you look at centre mid and see its our most saturated position. Hardie, Craig, Mooner, Sheerin, Millar all very capable of playing there. To be honest, I don't see Hardie in a saints shirt next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hardie will get stuck into the opposition, provides a physical presence and has scored important goals despite playing with an injury Since Morris came back into the team our form has dipped Simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
