  1. As I said I only saw it from the highlights but if he gives the corner then the ball must have been in play. He had an okay game but did make a couple of very strange decisions. If he’s saying the ball was out I’ll add that the list.

    Totally agree if he gives a corner the ball is in.
  2. Dont think i am its mostly waters making the mistakes. Kick in the balls for the players trying the hardest trying 2 get back into the game and waters pops up with another howler. Ma 2 kids hate waters cos they keep getting grounded every saturday lol.  
    Mon the papers
     

    Trying to be positive about it. We don’t any other options or competition for keeper. The back four I feel are gelling like the full backs especially birno who looks class. Need help for Jordan up front, wins most balls in the air a link up striker ideal.
  3. Cant fault the effort from the players but defensive mistakes keep costing us.

    Mon the papers

    Think we are being too critical we are still fourth in the league the boys are playing well. The back four went to three with jd up front. We have kept clean sheets against Hurlford and Meadow two top teams. Every team is going to lose goals I am happy the way we are going.
  4. Scoreline certainly flattered the home team, maybe we could have been worth a point on the second half showing. Wasn't sure about the penalty, the short distance between the two players makes it hard to call. Shelvey great chance in second half, just put it either side of the keeper but straight at him. The second goal was a joke, keepers ball all day. How many f**k ups is this guy going to be allowed to get away with. You never know what he is going to produce.
     

    A point is the minimum we should have from this. If Jordan scores we are looking for a point minimum. Talbot fans about us said the score flattered them. So much work put in by the team today. Back four solid. midfield and up front worked their socks off. Team is looking good.
  5. Wishing a speedy recovery to the meadow captain. Whatever team this happens too it is not pleasant.
    Going on to the game even first half. Bankies much the better team in the second and thoroughly deserved the win. The whole team playing good football. Defence excellent midfield and up front fantastic. Long may it continue.

  6. Massive test next Saturday, but like you say ‘optimisticman’ the confidence is flowing. Seen that today, when Conor took the ball for the penalty [emoji23]

    Great to see that shows how confident he was. Watched the boys talking and encouraging each other during the game. Thoroughly enjoying my football at the moment.
  7. Scrappy game. But I’ll take scrappy all day long [emoji23] massive 3 points today. Well done Conor on your 3 goals [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

    Great three points today. First half scrappy the goal before half time settled the team. Second half only one winner easily the best team and confidence is flowing at present. The whole team superb class. Keep it going lads.


  8. Conor is doing very well playing through the middle ( 2 goals in two games [emoji122]) I'll take that any day [emoji23]
    But as you say, Shelvey is needed and hopefully is back playing soon. And if Kyle keeps hitting free kicks like he did yesterday [emoji41] then there is much optimism going forward. But there's still plenty of pessimism with our defending[emoji17]
    we just look so disorganised. We are shooting ourselves in the foot every game back there. Only some poor finishing from Cumnock yesterday saved our blushes. ☹️


    Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s game. We always looked that we were going to win. The team look confident and should have scored a few more. Some good goals scored . Nicky and Connor, Kyle and Cammy excellent. Don’t think the defence is as bad as some are making. We are losing some crazy goals by individual error but I’m sure a lot of other teams are. The two full backs are first class Michael and Birno are as good full backs that I have seen so far in our division. Jamie is the organiser hope he is back soon, Matty does a good job with Jordan Kennedy and Jordan Shelvey still to come back. Quite confident we will have a good season.
  9. The 2 were clear cut fouls in the box and not a single Clydebank fan around me or who I spoke to complained about that.Your keeper made a mistake by challenging Fraser when he was running away from goal and Liam knew what he was doing grabbing Dallas as he was getting to the ball coming into the box.We have a very experienced frontline who know where to be even when we aren’t playing well-as we didn’t yesterday.
    I thought Clydebank did play well and as I said before will have no problems in the league playing like that.Far superior to Kilwinning,Kilbirnie and Beith.

    The first penalty dubious but the second why he pulled the player only he can answer crazy. Apart from that we played excellent and can see the makings of a decent season. The team is showing what they can do and can only see positives.
  10. Where I was was never a penalty. There was no contact at all. Guy went to ground looking for it. That seemed to be the opinion of most fans around. Think today we were breaking quickly when going forward and defending when needed. Think defence starting to gel like the two full backs who overlap and jd and McLean solid. Jordan and Nicky causing panic going forward. Positive signs.

  11. Byrne is a decent full back and will be solid albeit not spectacular although he will get exposed by pace as we saw.You are starting to pick up results and that’s what we thought would happen when we saw you at Newlandsfield.

    Totally agree birno is decent but does not to be spectacular. Not many full backs are against pace.The thing I like about him is he overlaps and makes wingers work. He does read the game and thought against yourselves he was one of our better players. He seems to be consistent. Good luck this year.
  12. In complete control and almost threw it away. Rob Roy not won a game all season and make no mistake they could have easily turned it around in the second half. We need Morrison between the sticks in the next game, Waters just makes the whole team nervous. He is a good shot stopper but his decision making,communication  and kicking are poor. If you are not good enough to pass it around like Manuel Neuer, just kick it the way you are facing. The amount of times the two new full backs get caught under the ball or not goal side is frightening.
    What has happened to the centre back cowie? saw his signing announcement on twitter but not heard of him since. 

    Think yesterday was one of those games. Was in control the first half and changes to the back four in second caused by injuries didn’t help. Agree keeper making everyone nervous but bailey and birno are 2 cracking full backs. What are you basing this on as in the first half they won most of their headers and were in control. The changes didn’t help and the og something else. The team will make mistakes but we have drew with beith should have beat pollok and beat kilbirnie. Let’s support the team instead of being critical.
