  1. The difference between Mark Stewart and Finn Yeats is we had Stewart for 4 or 5 years before we sold him, we've had Finn for 2. Mark Stewart scored goals in the Premiership and Championship, played in a Scottish Cup Final. We would get about 10k for Yeats
  2. It's all about grinding it out now, everybody except Edinburgh has something to play for. The players will be tiring now as well and some will be playing with injuries. Most won't have been in this position in their careers either. I don't care if we win the next three games 1-0, just need the job done, take the pressure off
  3. Reading an article this morning that said the review carried out by the external company concluded that there are a number of areas for improvement within the club with the appointment of a new manager being the top one. All that money spent for a conclusion we all knew? Money well spent there!!
  4. There was a guy behind me slagging Hendo and MacIver at I think the 2-1 Edinburgh game saying they were the weak links in the team and he couldn't wait until we got 'proper' players in to replace them next season. I loved roaring at him when MacIver scored the second that game! There was a roaster last week v Annan having a go at MacIver (might have been the same guy) telling him to "just put the ball in the fuckin net, that's 5 fuckin chances" when he put a header over the bar in the first half but he quickly shut up when a number of folk pointed out that he was offside anyway. Not a peep heard from him when others missed chances. Sometimes players and the team can be victims of their own success but we definitely have a number of utter p***ks in the fanbase
  5. "I was playing advantage". Where's the advantage when the ball's stuck under bodies? We've been absolutely muck today
  6. As much as I agree with the plan b thinking, hopefully next season in the Championship will see teams being more open trying to win games instead of setting up to frustrate and nick a point which would then give our own players more space to play. Though I would also think it will be harder to score if we did concede first. It was obvious v Annan that they were happy to concede the wide areas and head away crosses all day, our goal came from a ball through the middle. On another note, now that Tam Lang missed the Cove game am I right in thinking Captain Coll is the only player to play every minute of every game so far this season? If so, that's outstanding considering he had some suspensions last season, the captaincy must be focusing his game more
  7. Why was Lawal playing if he's on loan at Cove from us? Thought that wasn't allowed
  8. Given Fyvie has been out for a while, is he fit enough for two games in 4 days?
  9. Its a team game, there were faults all over the shop. Some of the players thought the game was won and were sloppy in possession. To blame the draw on Long only is harsh. Yes he f*cked up but he wasn't the only one. This
  10. Watched the highlights this morning and it's definitely a howler from Long. Thought it at the time and confirmed on the highlights. Ultimately, keeper mistakes do tend to result in goals being lost, that happens all over the world and there are far better experienced international keepers who concede goals as a result of mistakes they make. But how many chances to score did we need?
  11. Perhaps the most annoying part about McGlynn telling us about the rotation is opposition now know who's in goal and when so can plan tactics in advance
  12. Absolutely, we shouldn't be dictated to by a young player at the start if their career or his parent club. Unless the club are contractually obliged in other ways (payment of monthly/weekly rent for him until the end of the season is the only thing I can think of off the top of my head) then the money we are paying for Long could have been used towards another keeper
  13. One thing we all need to remember is every team in the league is now playing for something come the end of the season. Most games are going to mean something for each team. Getting points in the bag is far more important than scoring 3/4/5 goals each game. Need to stick together and see this over the line.
  14. He didn't say it was contractual but he makes a comment that we could have lost Long in January so he sat down with both goalies and agreed to the monthly rotation. Either Long has asked to leave in January because of game time or Lincoln have been in touch and requested Long be given more game time.
  15. As others have said, a very strange decision by McGlynn to rotate the keepers. Hogarth had the jersey, has a blinder last week and wins man of the match yet gets "rotated" this week? There's not much difference between them for me but Hogarth had kept two clean sheets back to back so deserved to stay in goal. On today's game, we could easily have been 3 or 4 up in the opening 20 minutes. Thought Annan were happy to let us have the ball out wide, let us fire crosses in and head them away. Going through the middle wasn't really on either. Thought we got a bit of luck for our goal, couldn't really see what happened but looked a goalie error. Like most people around me, we could all see what happened at the end coming in the last 10 minutes. Defending seemed at times to be a but rushed and lacking composure and as a team I thought a number of players looked sluggish and tired. Long never looked like winning the high ball as he had a standing jump and no momentum before going up. I'm not going to be critical of Long for that error on the basis that keeper errors do usually result in loss of a goal which is why they get highlighted as much, happens at every level. Let's put today down as a bad day and move on but get the booing at the end in the bin.
  16. What's the thoughts on Rankin this week? You'll still be wanting him to stay to lead this "best squad" to the title before you sign our three best players in the summer?
  17. Didn't Edinburgh beat Hamilton at NDP earlier in the season? Anyway, I've got my tickets for the Edinburgh game on 23rd March. My son's pal is a mascot that day so hoping there's a right good party atmosphere that day
  18. I wondered this as well. I sat in there in the game v QotS years ago and there was not even a hint of any bother.
  19. QoS away on 16th, Montrose away on 30th and Cove at home on 6th
  20. That will be 3 games out of 4 on TV. Box office Bairns!
  21. "Who do you want to win when they play each other?"
  22. I'm sure McGlynn said after the Stirling game that Miller's goal had been practised in training so it wouldn't surprise if yesterday's goal was as well.
  23. Wow! Seven changes from Tuesday including both fullbacks. Morrison clearly the key player injured and Hendo and Nesbitt on the bench. Would take a draw right now
