He didn't even manage to aim the kickout at the target man who'd won every header, you absolute mentalists You don't have a clue - he saw Ross's charge down the right into the space and thus angled his kick more towards him rather than the target man which is one of the reasons the Clyde defence were caught out. At the moment this happened I was shouting for McGurn to hit the ball at Ross who was bombing forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcuk Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 If these were the highlights, thank feck I didn't go to watch the other 85-plus minutes. Where was Barry? In the stand? Or at Ibrox [emoji6]? Was he not in dugout ? Maybe suspended from Elgin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I realised that Fifers don't do subtleness and like their football, it's a straight punt (well worked) down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 So where did we fall down in our execution of this move in your view to render it not well-worked? Good ball - yes. Good run from Ross - yes. It simply can't be described as well worked though! There's no shame in scoring a goal like that but it was horrific defending that played a huge part in it. A well worked goal (generally, and I'm sure almost everyone reading this would agree) is one which involves a few good passes coupled with decent movement leading to a goal. Not a long ball onto a runner. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well worked goal (generally, and I'm sure almost everyone reading this would agree) is one which involves a few good passes coupled with decent movement leading to a goal. Not a long ball onto a runner. Jesus. 2 good passes McGurn to Ross, Ross to Renton. Tremendous movement by Ross and supported by Renton getting into position to take advantage. A goal. A defensive mistake caused by quick counter attacking late in the game with a runner bursting through to take advantage of a stretched and tiring defender. Meets all your criteria for a well worked goal. Sure you can put blinkers on and say it wasn't some sort of fancy tiki taka goal but in essence well worked and well done by all 3 players involved. Jesus had no involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the game against Stirling Albion (the greatest ever comeback?) when the home team were leading 3 - 0, our goalkeeper did exactly the same, punting into the opposing penalty area and Greg Stewart (who else) scored our fourth and winning goal.

the_bully_wee Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm perfectly fine with us being a total gang, I'm perfectly fine with us losing games to - on paper - even worse total gangs, and I'm perfectly fine with us doing so by conceding clown-car, barely-believable goals. What I'm not fine with, however, is that creatures we are led to believe belong to the same species as us regard one of these clown-car goals as having involved any sort of quality or ingenuity.

Only coo in the village Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Clyde posters have a real sense of self importance based on sweet f**k all. If they ever achieve anything in the real world it will be like Donald Trump having an orgasm over a picture of Hilary Clinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It was a goal caused by a defensive mistake. The goal was not "well worked".Clyde fans recognise we played very poorly and didn't deserve to win.How does that end up as Clyde fans seething and knocking one out over Clinton's picture?

The Minertaur Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Clyde fans jealous that they can't score a goal which takes just 3 touches from the start of the move (inside our own box!) to scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velazquez Blue Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Clyde fans are beginning to realise that over 60% of the season remains and whilst other teams are improving and fast their team is on the slide and will soon be in the mix at the other end of the table.

haufdaft Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Strangely there is no reference to the defence splitting pass from the goalie. No mention of a well worked goal either.http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/cowdenbeath-1-clyde-0-bully-9397752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
