    Not good ones.

    A certain cup replay v Hearts at Fir Park springs to mind.

    Still gives me nightmares.

    Yup that was my exact same image, remember being right behind the goals and my Dad putting his arm round me after the goal as I was gutted.  We would have had St Mirren in semi final and Dundee or Dundee utd in final, huge opportunity missed.... thankfully roll on 4 years later to 91

    I had a notepad and pen with me and occasionally grabbed phone and went "yes Pep...looks promising.....has potential"....lol

    Iceland's winning goal was a pen caused by a mistake by Scottish midfielder Hayden Hackney, was so tempted to shout TAXI !!!

    This might be unpopular on here, but I dont actually think Kelly is an international class goalkeeper. 

    And before we get into the semantics of what that actually means, I do think he is probably the best alternative to Gordon we have right now that is available for selection.

    For that reason alone, I agree he should at least have got the second half so his first cap isnt when he is being thrown in during a vital qualifier if Gordon is injured.

    But lets not kid ourselves. Kelly is a good shotstopper. But he isnt tall enough, doesnt command the 6 yard box and his distribution is rank. Very good keeper at our level and Im delighted to have him at Motherwell, but he is likely to be exposed playing for Scotland.

    Marshall (and dare I say McGregor) are still both better keepers so saying Stevie Clarke would bring Marshall back if he could shouldnt really be a surprise, I would too. But they have both retired, so on that basis Kelly should have got game time last night.

    I do hope for the national teams sake though, that Craig Gordon can go on for some time yet.

    Totally see where you coming from.  Kelly's height and distribution can work against him. What I don't understand is why if he is no.2 is Clarke isn't prepared to give him a game for experience. Gordon still no.1 which can't be argued against but he's nearly 40. Euros will be his last campaign

    Willie Hunter last inductee for this year. I have to say I did find that emotional as he was my Dad's hero when he followed the well home and away.  He would have been so chuffed to see Willie in Hall of Fame but would no doubt have said......should have happened years ago!! .lol

    I think Slattery need to loose a few pounds. His stamina and passing seems to have gone the wrong way. I’d be looking for more from him. I think Spittal and Cornelius could be interchanged so one gives it 100% then replace with the other as they start to tire. Midfield definitely needs to work harder. They seem to get caught in the middle not up supporting forwards or back helping defense. They need to up the work rate and just sub them as they tire. 
     

    or to be Grizzzly-esque. Flood the midfield and use our subs! 

    Good one
