Soctty Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Always liked Junior. His pace helped propel us to the title, regardless of what came after. Some fantastic strikes as well. Only good memories for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 The wee dude was fantastic in the Millennium Season. Saw him play half a game for Arthurlie, he excelled in that also. Witnessed him getting the Judas treatment when he played for the Pars against us. A hilarious occasion. Why do we need a Sports Scientist anyway? Did we have one in past successful eras ?

Yes, Jamie Ramsden was at the club when we won the league in 2006. Left us to join Celtic and now at Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I have no idea whether Mendes is good at what he does or not , I just hope he manages to bring something to the squad ..... and bloody quick ! Next quarters SMISA budget may have to be used to build bigger dug outs at this rate . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you and the snake drum up a Youtube video showing how all this nonsense is a massive conspiracy to keep football clubs in check? I think that would be more entertaining than me actually providing you with a solid scientific background to explain it all.

Yep and if those players were playing right now with those habits they’d be lucky to get a game for East fife. Do you think George Best would be one of the best players in the world right now if he was sinking a few hawfs before every game? If things now were the same as they were back then, why have we went from producing several world class players in days gone by to absolutely none now? Footballs evolved. we’ve been left behind.

Like I’ve just said, if footballers quality has absolutely nothing to do with diet, fitness and the scientific side of keeping healthy, why have Scotland not produced a world class player in 30+ years? We used to produce lots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
