  1. Lowry for me. Only one who kept at it, trying to play the positive forward pass. His work rate is also pretty decent for a supposed lazy barsteward!
  2. Would absolutely NOT be dropping Maswanhise on Saturday unless he is injured. Ive been a critic of his performances since February, but the last few games he has ran his socks off. I agree Seb PH should start on Saturday, as his pace in closing people down should spearhead our press, but Id be dropping Cookie or Kanga to the bench before JT. Id also have Said back, he offers a more solid out ball to retain possession and get us up the pitch than some of the others.
  3. Not sure what part of my post you are diagreeing with?
  4. Lots of hard talking required between now and Saturday. We need to be much more structured and disciplined to allow us to play our football from a solid base. We also need to be running harder than the opposition, particularly when we lose the ball, to win it back. Do these things and we can win on Saturday. Dont do them, and we could be on the end of another loss.
  5. Pretty sobering experience tonight. We played some nice stuff and controlled the game for the first 30 minutes, but failed to score and Aberdeen grew into the game. We got a couple of warning shots that went wide before the goal, so no surprise when Molloy scored. Expected us to re-organise at HT and come out re-energised so to lose a self inflicted goal within 30 seconds of the re-start was a dagger to the heart and truth be told the game was dead there and then. After that, for all our possession and passing percentages, we were so indisciplined and wide open on the transition. To say we had 68% possession of the ball and that Aberdeen had 4 shots on target and scored 4 goals suggests that it was a bit of smash and grab by Aberdeen, but in truth it didnt feel that way. We got well and truly Robbo'd tonight and Alfred will have to sit down and contemplate where we go from here. Its defintely his League Cup semi final moment.
  6. Not surprised. He has been under pressure for quite some time. A significant section of their support are not having Robinson at all, so he is guilty by association. I do wonder though how much free reign he has had up there as Cormack seems very "hands on".
  7. Maybe he was on the 2nd feed and had a late start to catch up on his sleep! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
  8. You have very eloquently expanded on some of the thoughts I was having and put flesh on the bones of what I was trying to get across. Very well done! ๐Ÿงกโค๏ธ๐Ÿงก
  9. Definitely way overdue for the DSA. Ive always had it in my head that this is something we could do if the decision IS to remain at Fir Park and rebuild the POD. Whilst a full height stand cannot obviously go the full length of the pitch, an innovative elevated platform for the DSA could fill that space without blocking out light to the houses behind......
  10. Ive watched the podcast and read the document and I am certainly intrigued by the proposals. It would make sense that once the security reserve figure has been reached that we should be looking at other ways to use Society Funds. No point building a huge pot of money if its never going to be put to good use. Im unsure whether taking this step now, before we have met the reserve figure is the correct thing to do, but I think I could be persuaded. Making our money work for the benefit of the club certainly makes sense. A little investment here and there could generate further revenue for the club and that would be welcome. What I wouldnt be in favour of however, is the Society money going straight into the running costs of the club and being absorbed. Having seperation between the Well Society and the Club was done for a reason, and should be kept that way. The club should still be required to balance its books and the operational shortfall must be closed if we are going to be run sustainably. That figure cant include Well Society cash. Also, Id be wanting something in return for any money the Society puts into the club. Previous loans were attached to security on the stadium. So we are in a situation where no one can sell Fir Park from underneath us. That is a good thing. Ive seen it discussed elsewhere that future loans might be leveraged against increased shareholding for the Society, and something like that would be appealing. Hopefully all these discussions can take place during the consultation period, and I have put them forward in my response to the active investment document. It feels like the club and the Society are both in good health at present. The ideas being put forward appear positive and as long as we get the small print correct, I think we can move forward in good faith.
  11. Alex Guiness Luke Skywalker Thats tenuous, even for you Grizzly! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†
  12. Listening to Sportsound, the comments from Killie and Aberdeen fans are hilarious and lovely to hear! "Big cross field diagonals, this game will get both managers sacked" ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†
  13. Does his club play in red and we are going to scud them on Tuesday?
