  1. Delighted we are winning but that was shite. Long balls, mostly overhit, to two forwards that cannot control a ball, hold it up or beat a man. Midfield bypassed and them getting in crosses to a dodgy defence anytime they come up the park. What happened to the closing down and midfield passing from a few games ago?
  2. Another Away game an another game where we sit off the opposition allowing them to do what they want. Allowing them to cross into the box whenever they want. Shite defending. Again.
  3. Greive is our top scorer yet has only started 1 league game. Time the guy got a run on the team probably at the expense of Ayunga who has been very poor recently. I doubt very much we will change formation however at Away games we are being destroyed down the wings (our left in particular). And I'd prefer to see Gogic in midfield for Away games.

  4. Besides Carson the rest were really poor today not doing the very basics. Besides the shocking performance I was really disappointed we did nothing in the first half to change it. We were being roasted down that left side yet did nothing about it. OK Tait was taken off at half time but a couple of other changes should have been made Ayangu especially. Away from home we are rank and need a Plan B Sent from my SM-P610 using Tapatalk
  5. Good game for the neutral yesterday. And another example of why you should ignore match statistics. We hit the woodwork twice, had a goal chopped off and scored one off the post but were listed as have no shots on target for the first half. Chopping off Ayunga's goal was shocking - the incident was minor; Utd players were holding Baccus on his mazy run; and the incident was well before the goal was scored; and the ref had watched it all and deemed nothing was wrong. This was not 'clear and obvious'. Fans want to see goals and this was a well executed goal. Disappointed for Joe not getting a game but happy for Greive. He is a natural goal scorer and I would like to see him get more game time. I know the argument is he is weak however he never gives up and chases and harries everything. He is also composed and doesn't panic when an opportunity comes along. A good day at the office. Onwards to Easter Rd.
  6. The formation we play will limit Henderson's appearances. He won't replace Strain as wing back. And in that position he is physically weak ( see the second goal at Perth and his poor attempt to stop their wing back). His best chance is playing off Main or Ayunga but again he needs to muscle up.

  7. When a team starts on the back foot they never get back into it until possibly half-time. And we we never got into it in the first half. Killie dominated the midfield but strangely they never laid a glove on us yet we had three great chances to score (Strain, Ayunga and Main). I would have made changes at half time but we competed a bit better in the second half. Killie certainly scorned a couple of great chances at the start of the second half but there was little after that from either side. Some really poor performances from some players today. Main and especially Ayunga hardly won a ball, took too long to control it and Ayunga seems incapable of passing sometimes and prefers to run into trouble. However in the first half the midfield sat too deep to support the forwards so they were quite isolated. Power ran the middle of the park while Erhahon decided it was better to watch him than do anything to stop him. O'Hara had his quietest game for us in the first half but got more into it in the second half. Dunne made far too many mistakes for my liking and why does Tanser take corners and free kicks when he is hopeless at them? Give someone else a chance. On the plus side Carson was great closely followed by Gallagher. I think we need to keep the tactics and formation but change a couple of bodies to freshen things up. I'd like to see Joe in for Dunne and Gogic for Erhahon. If Main and Ayunga aren't imposing themselves in the first half we should be making a change at half time or with 30 mins to go. We are doing great this season. We lacked passion today and never closed down like we have been doing. For the first time in ages we have a decent bench so should maybe use it more.
  8. Yea, it is a fake however Walsh does work closely with the Rangers Youth Academy.
  9. I do not know who Walsh supports but he is involved in Rangers Youth Academy.
  10. At least we played decently enough and had a go. We usually get beat 4-0 parking the bus. Were unlucky and the scoreline flatters them.
  11. Good to see us have a go at Ibrox. Playing some decent stuff and getting bodies forward when we get the chance. 2-0 flatters them.
  12. Good luck Dean on your next move. Always did well when you got the chance. <https://www.stmirren.com/all-news/4596-dean-lyness-leaves-by-mutual-consent
  13. Yes. We were poor but there was little between the teams. Overall a better game over the 90 mins than yesterday's 20 mins ( besides the result obviously). Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  14. Yesterday was a great result in the circumstances. Livi are always difficult to beat and they have some very good players. Getting a result with only 10 men was excellent. We were shite with our worst league performance this season. That was Gogic's first start in 6 months and it showed. I also think he was wearing 6 inch heels. Strain was a huge miss. Fraser is nowhere in the same category playing wing back. And Kiltie is not a striker. If Greive had come back from NZ sooner than Friday and he started I reckon we would have caused the Livi defence far more problems. Great to see Joe get some game time and introduce a threat at corners. Good day at the office.
  15. We have played some excellent football this season but today wasn't one of them. But sometimes you have to win ugly and this was ugly but a great 3 points. You can't blame a manager for not changing a winning team but I was delighted for Greive today. When he came on against the fakes he done more than Main and Ayunga had done in the previous 75 mins. And today he took his chance when he got it. Hope we see more of him. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  16. Hopefully another bonus today was Stevie Clark in the stand. Surely he couldn't fail to be impressed with Gallgher's performance.
  17. Lighten up. No-one is having a go. Just a bit of banter. I enjoy Elvis's predictions. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  18. He's now booked into Heartbreak Hotel. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  19. I thought Strain was absolutely brilliant today. Hope the Aussie manager was watching him and Baccus. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  20. We remain 8th but either Well or Hearts or both will gain point(s) over us. If they draw today and we win 1-0 we go straight to 3rd on a level with Livi (points and goal dif). 2-0 and we are a clear 3rd (if they draw).
  21. If we win 1-0 we could go 3rd. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  22. No it doesn't make it right. With freedom of speech comes responsibility. And the Public Order Act should be used when necessary. However the law picks and chooses when it is going to act. Sectarian songs are sung every week and the law chooses to ignore it which undermines the law and encourages even more abuse of freedom of speech. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  23. It isn't used when the hunns are up to their knees in ******** blood. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  24. I'd bring in Gogic for this match as the sitting midfielder. I'd also have Greive up top instead of Main. Dunne had a nightmare up in Perth so maybe bring Joe back in. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
