to be fair it aint just our support. As for the individuals they are obviously from the schooling of negativity is the best course of support. Hopefully Tom wont dwell on it to much.

even if money for the club does not concern them, you would think a professional player would bust a gut to get the chance of champions league football. At this point in the season, players cant be excused for lack of effort.

perhaps we need to go back to the old tactics we had before ojamaa arrived for away games. Maybe we are just a little to open. We dont need to chase games away from home. Page has been unlucky given that until the Aberdeen game he rarely played in his correct position. Where as Hutchinson waltzed into his best position and looked the part, althougth still capable of the odd mistake given his lack of experience. As someone said we are picking up alot of bookings for nothing, which begs the question about officials bias. Perhaps, bskyb had a wee word in the ear of the officials to ensure a tittle play off tomorrow! Seems daft to say that, but it seems they already dictate to much to our league for entegrity not to be questioned. Our players made mistakes that cost the goal, but perhaps the early bookings was enough to put certain players off their game.

I wish people would stop saying bad day at the office. If office workers had as many off days as professional players they would be out of a job pronto. Anyhow, killie was always going to be a difficult game, and i would have grabbed a draw beforehand. However, worrying it seems we failed to turn up in the second half, and then make stupid mistakes. Seems a theme to our game of late to only play in parts of games., We've perhaps been lucky to get away with it, but now we really need to knuckle down and fight for every point. It's now time our players and staff smashed this Rangers hoodoo. Our club needs the extra revenue, which would go a long way in securing our future and perhaps some of the players futures.

No way will we get 2nd. We just dont seem to have the mentality to get over the winning line. We have done very well this season, but this is the business end of the season, and is where we find the men from the boys.

'rebel 10' Have Requested A Meeting Of The Spl On April 12Th
Orinoco replied to Ocelot Groomin''s topic in Club Chat
Uncertainty and divisions, aye very good celtic. yet their talk of leaving the spl is ok? Call there bluff. They have more to lose, big salaries/squad and all that. -

consistancy would be nice. Why is the compliance officer even getting involved with McCall. It was the referee's decision to send him to stand, which he did and served his punishment. Yet, if a referee deems a player to be in breach of a rule, he is booked/sent off and nothing else is done by the authorities. So is the compliance officer is now going to deal with cases already dealt with by the referee? So ineffect this officer is undermining the referees, something that the club staff aint allowed to do! It seems this officer has issues with our club, and it's time we got our lawyer involved much like Celtic. Seems it's the only way. p.s. Think McCall should ask for clarification on what is acceptable, i.e. complain in person privately or go on national tv and more or less call the referee a cheat.

dont count on it. Remember apparently we need the old firm -
the thing is the old firm see us a proper threat and treat us slightly differently to others in the spl. Rangers seem to raise their game, Celtic were ultra cautious last game, althought they probably dont need to. To beat Rangers we need to score first and have the officials on our side for once!!
-
i dont think people dont rate him, it's just he aint developing the way we had all hoped. He still scores goals, but could do alot better, and probably he knows that as well. McCall playing him on the left when he appears better on the right aint helping, and likewise he should be doing everything in his power to increase his strength. Maybe we just expect to much from him, given that he's carried the team on many occasions.

lasleys season could soon be over with all these bans. Diving into tackles in the middle of the field is stupid and irresponsible.
-
just goes to show how bad scottish football is that Murphy has reached double figures whilst playing in midfield, whilst having a very poor season. Meanwhile Ojamma, a player who could not buy a contract as a player, joins us and rips defences to pieces. Murphy's problem is his apparent lack of confidence, and strength. Strength can be gained, confidence is the difficult part. He has the ability.
-
he needs to bulk up, and we've been saying that for many months. he's been playing better on right and today he was back on left. why?
-
Aberdeen ran right over the top of us today. Jennings & Lasley against there three players was a miss match. As a result the defence was left exposed time after time. Mind you the marking for the first goal was school boy stuff. Once they got the corner that never was and goal, and our missed penalty, there was never any doubt we would lose today. It's hard to be to critical given the season we've had, but Lasley was a disgrace, Hateley needs to practice his set pieces, as they are a joke. Murphy, why is he playing on the left given he was doing better on the right? Anyhow, that lad is going nowhere fast. Long ball against aberdeen is a fecking joke, and funny enough our goal came about when we worked it down the flank and got a decent cross in. Time humph was in from the start instead of murphy. It now seems when it matters most our players dont have even an ounce of bottle. Mind you should not be surpised given they are with us, but thats two none appearances in the cup when it matters. Celtic are going to waltz the treble, same although we've lost good income, for me i am glad i dont have to stomach another inept performance against them.
-
I hope he can regain even 75% of what he had, but there's always the possibility of another brian mclair scenario.
-
once in a lifetime chance of champions league football. lets go and grab it please.
-
Upto now, it would be hard to disagree. Lets just wait and see what happens over the comming weeks tho. Lots of hard work are still required by our chaps.
-
could be a tough game, but if we come out with all guns blazing, we could blow them away. Dons will sit in and hope to pinch a goal, or take it to a replay. A replay might actually work against them as surely they would have to open up a little at home.

Dunfermline Vs Motherwell Discussion Thread
Orinoco replied to prideoflanarkshire's topic in Club Chat
good solid win. Cant ask for anymore. Well done chaps. -
get him to sign an extension to his contract. It's pointless us putting a value on him, as the club will punt him at the first offer. Given the amount of time he's been at the club, could be 10-12 years, i would hope we are more than suitably compensated for his developement. say £50k - £100k for each year aint unreasonable.
-
why is he (bonnar) even there. In anycase why listen to the sportsound old firm love in.
-
when they said having a go, was it a square go??
-
i think our problem with the old firm, is that we do change tactics. Keep the same shape, and play the same way.
-
either that our they are all lying down in a dark corner
