  1. Our passing in the final third is abysmal. Just when it looks like we could create something we give it away cheaply.
  2. We need more mobility in the final third. Their defenders haven't had to work nearly as hard as they should simply because Bair doesn't make runs. Can't help but feel that Biereth would have run riot in that first half. Still well in the game at 1-0 though. COYW
  3. They look ordinary and we're well in the game but we cannot give them that room to shoot around our box. Frustrating.
  4. His knock downs, lay offs and general hold up play was excellent today. We played some tidy stuff but sadly we lacked the cutting edge required. Said before the game that the first goal would be critical. Robinson's teams are great at getting their noses in front then shutting up shop and defending for their lives. That said, the fact they've beaten us twice now this season without conceding is though to take.
  5. Ironically it was one of the very few times Kelly released the ball quickly. He's got a tendancy to hold onto it for too long at times when there's a real opportunity to counter. The passes from O'Donnell and then Spittal were first class. Great team goal.
  6. Great day out yesterday. 100% from every player was great to watch. We won't play much better than that. Mention also for the fans. Sold out our allocation and were in fine voice for the whole 90. Particularly loved the waaahey when the Jambos eventually chipped in with a half assed song effort. Glorious.
  7. Sounds like he's a thorn in your side.
  8. You're not going to sign a player on loan from Brighton, pay a percentage of his wage and not play him though. Edit: You meant Spittal, my bad. Apologies.
  9. Looking forward to this one. Cup game with two teams in form, good crowd. Could go either way imo. If we go through it could well be our year.
  10. Fouls on well players all over the pitch -nothing given. Dickinson's having a Bobby dazzler today
  11. At least the commentator has dropped Blair over the half time interval. Someone must have given him the heads up.
  12. Nice wee passage of play there. Wilkinsons an intelligent footballer. And the first for the Bair.
  13. Couple of decent touches so far from the Bair. Hopefully he can do the donkey work and Wilko and boy from Arsenal can do the biz.
  14. Comfortable win and good to see us win the group. Time will tell though if this group is good enough to compete week to week in the league against better opposition. I still think we need 2 or 3 decent signings up to the level. A forward for me is a must as we are obviously light in that dept. Wilkinson looks like he's still trying to get up to speed in the Scottish game. Very static at times and second to the ball too many times. That said, he took his goal well and when he did take possession his linkup play was good. Souare has improved as the group has progressed. In the QP game he seemed reluctant to make runs and pass forward but today you could tell he had been told to get to the byline and get crosses in. All in all job done, onto next week now.
  15. Take a draw now. We appear to be a shambles at the back tonight.
  16. I'd rather he signed for us and didn't kick a ball than see him in the colours of that horrible club.
  17. What's the deal with wee Tommy? The fans hold him in high regard and quite rightly so but I've never seen or heard of him making an appearance at FP since he left all those years ago.
  18. Good candid chat with Stuart and Stevie Frail if you haven't heard it already. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3nc1HNL7exlAX0FVCb1MHu?si=V7diFCSORguJ-BkbxeYEaQ
  19. If Blaney is going to be a starter next season he'd better learn some composure on the ball over the summer. Balls like a hot potato whenever it's near him. Take a touch fs.
  20. Red card all day long. Reckless endangerment.

    Pies

    A minor complaint it may be but with the position we find ourselves in, in relative safety and with very little to complain about in previous weeks can we please discuss how poor the Fir Park pie has become? We had the best pies in the land when Mr. Chapman was the supplier and while I accept there's less fat/salt etc. allowed in food now the pies at FP really have been substandard for a long time now. I always buy a pie at the game both out of habit and probably in support of the club but I really don't enjoy the experience much at all. Steak pie today - dry as hell, meat like leather with absolutely no gravy at all. I even came across a FB post of away fans slating our pies. What has happened? It's the only part for me that lets the stadium down these days.
  22. Well said. Not an entirely fruitless tenure. Different class.
  23. Spittal for me. Not a vintage performance from anyone today but he got the crucial opener and when he's given the ball there's generally a feeling he'll do something useful with it. Repeating myself but he's been a totally different player since Kettlewell came in and that's no accident.
  24. Excellent, gritty performance despite the best efforts of whistle happy Kevin Clancy to stop the game at every turn. He really is dire. Agree that the long stoppage in the first half put us right off our stride but we recovered well and dug in in the second. KVV really is on another level right now, that first touch for his goal was sublime and right out of the top drawer. Spittal pulling the strings in midfield was great also and he was my choice for MOTM. COYW
  25. We're in good form, we should be confident and I demand we pump them. COYW
