Shandon Par Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Not long after he’d moved to Hibs they had a free Saturday. Sol was outside East End rattling a bucket collecting money for relief aid for Haiti. Such a beautiful soul, a brilliant accent and a class footballer. Remember him once clashing with Scott Brown. Brown did his hard man stare and puffed up his chest at Sol. Bamba just giggled and lifted his shirt towards Brown, revealing a torso that looked to have been cast from iron then jogged off. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Radio Five had a wee tribute this morning on the Colin Murray show, with a reporter from Cardiff. Talking about how well liked he was at all his clubs and the stuff he did off the pitch etc. Very sad news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I wonder why J Mc is reluctant to play young Sutherland and continues to play McCann? To be fair McCann took a really good free kick on Saturday, it gave the keeper a bit of a fright. I think that Sutherland would benefit from a run in the team, and has the potential to become a better prospect than McCann. Lewis has had a good run in the team and IMO has peaked and needs to take a seat on the bench for a while to see if things will improve up front with a different player. Regardless of that, it was a much improved performance from the team, and has given me a bit of positivity back about us not going back down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely don't think it was much of an improvement on the Falkirk game tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an improvement tbh. I was concerned that once Ayr scored any chance of us winning had gone, and sure enough once Chris Kane went off we lost all presence up front... but we actually created chances. More than one. It's a very low bar, but reality is we created absolutely hee haw against Falkirk and never had a hope all game. There was actually a bit of fight and grit in the Ayr game, even if the quality wasn't exactly spectacular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how folks can see something different in a game or even a players ability. Bottom line for me is that performance is the best we’ve been since pre-season, and I hope that this team will get better enough to get, and keep us out the relegation zone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 1 hour ago, HoBNob said: Aye? Genuinely don't think it was much of an improvement on the Falkirk game tbh. I definitely saw an improvement on Saturday, not much but I can definitely support that, I felt the guys gave plenty effort. McPake said after the Falkirk game he couldn't fault their effort but we looked miles off it. However, Saturday definitely warranted that comment from him. Elsewhere, anyone else just totally bothered that we've only just kicked off the season and already another pause to the league. I appreciate cup games and internationals need to get played but not much gets my juices going for the SPFL Trophy. Appreciate the prize money is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Chance for some newer players to blend in more, perhaps likes of Sutherland to come in too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we will see much of Sutherland in anything other than the striker position playing through the middle. Would be good to see him play with Wotherspoon in behind rather than Wiggy and Wotherspoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 A draw at home against Ayr is far too little far too late. Get him sacked immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very low bar, but reality is we created absolutely hee haw against Falkirk and never had a hope all game. I just can't agree with this matey. What chances did we actually create against Ayr? Our xG would've been tiny. Shot from distance from KRH, McCann Free kick, harmless header from Tod and the goal from Otoo, a fantastic shot from range. The one that worked the keeper most was McCann, but if it had went in it would've been a fantastic goal and totally unexpected, I'd argue we didn't create any chances that could be argued as "good", let alone clear cut. Against Falkirk we had a header from Kane? Which was a better and clearer chance than any we had against Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure one was supposed to be Fagan-Walcott. That obviously didn’t happen though and he’s now on loan at York City. If our other transfer business is anything to go by, that means we’ll go back to having to identify potential targets, rather than moving to another one who was already identified. From the outside, it very much seems like we identify one target. Then if that falls through, go right back to square one, rather than creating a shortlist and approaching a few players at the same time. Same can probably be said for Clay not signing. Can only assume he wasn’t what we need, so we have to try and find another midfielder now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember the header against Falkirk admittedly but never being in the game, 1 shot I don’t I don’t remember and hee haw grit or fight is still significantly worse that the Ayr game. Like I said, it’s a low bar, but actually competing in a game (and scoring.) and having outside chances is better than 100% losing it and having 1 header. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because for a chance to mean a damn I'd actually want to consider it to be a good one, we created 0 of those against Ayr. Don't take this the wrong way, but if you can't remember the header maybe your judgement of the game is pretty clouded by it being a defeat against Falkirk? You can't remember the best chance we created but you remember no fight or grit? We had plenty effort against Falkirk, and were in the game up until the penalty, however with how poor we looked going forward it never felt likely we'd equalise. Whereas against Ayr we scored an early screamer, before not threatening the goal for the rest of the game. I've no qualms with being happy with the result, but the performances were one and the same, pish. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
