    Bairns v Wasps….1 to go

    in Scottish League 1 General Chatter

    I’m incredibly (ridiculously) nervous about this.  It should just be a day to celebrate and there might be some upside on the unbeaten thing - but I can’t help feel losing would put a downer on the day.

    There will be goals, that’s the only thing I can say with certainty!

    Will be great to see our biggest home support at TFS.

    My choice would be to play McGinn at the back however not as a flat 4. Ask Mackie to sweep behind and simply just have Yeats and McCann playing a little narrower to kill any space in between.

     

    Harms us a little going forward we should have enough without the need to over commit.

     

    I would be very reluctant to change the formation.

    When the new manager starts the clear out in the summer, Isak should be the only one kept imo. They're absolutely dogshit. 

    It was notable just how much Anthony Gordon was diving, and he wasn’t doing a good job of it.

    Last time I looked they didn't have them on sale yet. I thought maybe because we were holding back to see how many we needed first? Someone said I think that they sold about 100-120 last time?

    Given they’ll have playoff matches to go to which are more meaningful, and they’d be coming to our party, I can’t imagine that many will sell.

    The vast majority of fouls in every match at any level of football are caused by players making the wrong split second decisions during a match. I can nick that ball away, I can get to that ball without getting the man and so on.Doesn't matter what level you are playing at players simply cannot with the pace of the game get every decision they make right.  Quite rightly the deliberate leg breaker foul has just about been eradicated from the game but we are still seeing more red cards   now than ever before at the very top level of the game. despite your claim that players are far better at making decisions than ever before.I'm all for red cards for the really bad tackles but I also want to try and keep 11 men on the park . 

     

    Please tell me you are nowhere near refereeing games any more.

    I agree his foot is really high but I am not really sure (having watched it about 10 times) how else he clears the ball. The only way I think he get out without fouling the player is to let him have the ball. It wasn’t really there to head it unless he dived at it.  In fact Henderson missed a header before which put Donaldson into an almost impossible position. By the letter of the law not he has to get a red but circumstances make him very unlucky. 

    But that’s the whole point.  If you can’t do it without endangering an opponent, don’t do it - or take the consequences. 

    that’s like saying how was Suarez supposed to stop that shot going in without palming it off the line.

    Split seconds again your eyes on the ball you don't have time to think through every scenario. These things happen in the blink of an eye. I'm sure if bavidge had had loads of time to think about it he wouldn't have kept running and instead would've stopped before he got anywhere near Coll. 

    No, you don’t have time, you learn just not do to it in the first place.  It’s clumsy and will eventually hurt someone.

    im impressed you are genuinely blinkered enough to start a “Bavidge shouldn’t have run into the boot that was at head height” argument.   To extend your ridiculous argument, that’s the equivalent of saying I shouldn’t have been overtaking someone at 70mph in the fast lane when someone decided to swerve into the lane without checking and take me out.

    Coll was unlucky he caught him, but he did, his foot shouldn’t have been there and he deserved to get sent off.

    You are wildly wildly wrong on this.

    The high feet  issue was never a major problem in the game though . Very few times did you ever see it happening before and now the only difference is that the very few times it occurs we are red carding and ruining games . 

    You really are a fucking dinosaur.  Did you honestly see that player get taken out yesterday, purely because of high feet, in a challenge you could hear at the back of the stand, and think there was nothing wrong with it?

    Exactly it's easy to see whether a player is deliberately trying to hurt a player or not. Yesterday noone thought it was at all deliberate including the kelty players and bavidge.  If you've at all played the game you know when someone is trying to do you or just making an honest attempt to get the ball 

    If an action has a greater potential to cause harm, accidental or not, it’s a red card.   If you don’t want to get sent off for it, don’t jump with your foot at head height.
