TPAFKA Jersey 2

A 4 point return from County (A), St. Johnstone (A), County (H) and Motherwell (H) is simply not good enough. If we don’t buck our ideas up, I reckon we could get a bit of a shooing off Hearts next week.

That about sums it up. I though Jonah was decent too with Tanser and Kiltie getting pass marks. Pretty awful stuff all round though. Some of that can be put down to the conditions but not all of it. Did Mandron even touch the ball after he came on??

Another absolute shocker from O’Hara today. What on earth has happened to him?

Very poor stuff this. Hard to say how much of that is down to the wind.

Hell no!! The next club down was Livi!!

Yes that’s right. I think it was the 99/00 season that we won the league. They were spared a playoff because Falkirk’s ground didn’t meet the criteria.

Aberdeen have never been relegated.

And if it was, I’d agree with you. Glad that’s all cleared up that you were talking bollocks. 😄👍

Tea leaf!!

Did ye aye? When I moved to Jersey, I must’ve missed the sign at customs that said “leave your social conscience here”.

Ha ha. Brilliant. You’re a wee bit out of date mate. Jersey hasn’t been a “tax haven” for a very long time.

I am truly disgusted with myself for all those times as a kid when I perpetrated grand larceny on the club by getting a lift over. Or when I turned up for the last 20 minutes of the game when they opened the doors because I couldn’t afford the admission fee that week. Absolute shameless hoovering of 20 minutes that on a pro rata basis should’ve cost me at least 20p. I’m away for a good greet, fire on my hair shirt and flagellate myself Opus Dei style.

Ha ha. Reading it back there was a bit of that wasn’t there? 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been to 5 games so far this season. I’d suggest I’ve spent considerably more money going to those 5 games than anyone has on an entire season ticket. I appreciate that most of that cash doesn’t go to the club but it still comes out of my bank account. I’m also a SMISA member. I sleep ok at night knowing I watch St. Mirren games on IPTV.

You wrang m’lord?

Not sure why you’re just having a go at @FTOF mate. You are very much a lone voice on this one and I’m going to add my name to the list of dissenters. The ref wasn’t just bad, he was absolutely abysmal. If you are happy with that standard then you’re easily pleased.

Now that my victory induced euphoria is starting to subside a little, I’m allowing my natural, default grumpiness to creep back in and thinking that todays result and performance makes the last 2 games even more annoying. Should’ve bloody had another 6 points.

Observations from today…. Henming - flapped at a couple of corners but was generally solid and pulled off a cracking save at a time when going 2-1 would’ve made for a very nervy end to the game. Small - massive improvement on McMenamin at RWB. Tanser - not his best day by his high standards this season, but still decent. CBs - Hmmmm, still some very ropey moments (especially Taylor) but a clean sheet means that they can’t have been that bad. Midfield - Much better all round. Especially after Baccus came on. Ayunga and Nahmani a triumph up front. With better finishing they could’ve had a least 5 goals between them, but genuine signs of a proper partnership and I’m sure goals will come. Was delighted with Nahmani and just wish he could’ve got a goal.

We’re still missing sitters but it looks like we might finally have a bit of a natural partnership up front. They’ve played really well together.

We still look ropey as f**k at the back, but so far much better today going forward. Nahmani looking sharp.

I’m not sure what you mean by wrong side. We play him on the right which could be considered the “wrong” side for a left footed player, but that is exactly where he’s played in most of his NI appearances and where he played with Glentoran. We also know that it is common for left footed players to play on the right and vice versa. As for the Denmark game, he played on the left, but only played for 12 minutes, so despite getting a good assist I’m struggling to see how he could’ve achieved “great acclaim”. Either way, on Wednesday night he played on both the right and the left for us and was equally shite in both positions.

This fella is fast becoming the exception to the idea that Robinson makes great signing decisions. We’ve all been saying he’s been off it for weeks, but for me on Tuesday he was one of, if not the worst of our players. He looked completely bereft of ability, energy (despite only playing 2/3 of the match) and more worryingly, interest. Needs properly benched for a while. The fact that we spent (by our standards) serious cash on him, just adds to the focus on him and consequently, expectations.

Agree. I think Dhanda should be our number one target in January or the summer. Whether we can get him or not is completely another matter. Whilst I’m not writing him off just yet, I’m beginning to wonder if that cash we potentially wasted on McMenamin would’ve come in very handy for signing a player like Dhanda. 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing though.

Oh I absolutely agree we deserved a draw in both games. All teams involved were equally shite in both games. I just happen to think we played against a better team in Ross Co than we did last night. St. Johnstone last night were the poorest team we’ve played this season. They were much worse than they were when we beat them 4-0. Fortunately for them we were much, much worse!

Yeah we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one mate. I thought we were absolutely shocking last night and considerably worse than we were against County. I think you have to factor in that County (IMO) are a far better team than that horrendous St. Johnstone side. You’re comparing apples with apples and I don’t think that’s the case. An absolute testament to our current form that we couldn’t even manage a draw against that shambles.
