Loon From Outta Toon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Just absolutely baffles me how Thomson isn’t starting in this team. He’s far better than Watson & Ross. Maybe it’s cause we’ve got literally nothing else on the bench to change the game. Watson is absolutely hopeless, we seen enough of him last season to show he wasn’t capable, yet gets given a contract. Baffling. Robson in the middle of the park does absolutely nothing every single week, the game just passes him by. He’d been as well standing beside me in the ground. No striker option when Skelly is unavailable is absolutely ludicrous, we all knew we needed at least two strikers available. Surely our first loan signing must be a striker.

This wacky notion we forget about a manager/teams shortcomings just because the season changes is farcical. We had 1 genuine striker, he got hurt, now we have none. Absolutely Raymonds fault. Your twitter posts over the years have been beyond pathetic, so weesht. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that the ref wasted his own time and was the one letting it happen. he shouldn't of stopped the game for it at all if the team isn't actually ready for the sub, pointed for a sub based off one shout from Elgin and didn't even make sure it was ready to happen. It's his job not to fall for that gamesmanship ultimately especially when there's no 4th official.

Loon From Outta Toon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Certainly expect at least a signing or two in the door this week. Even if it is just a couple of loan players. This formation just doesn’t work either. We literally looked like we were playing a back 7 most of that game today. At home against relegation favourites. MENTAL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people that get on the players back barely ever support the team in a positive way.

The difference in atmosphere between these last two home games (Arbroath and now Elgin) has been particularly eye opening However. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his job not to fall for that gamesmanship ultimately especially when there's no 4th official. That's not how I would describe it, though. The Elgin AM was shouting at the stand side asst ref to bring on a sub. He contacted the ref, who was as far away from this as was possible, but the procedure to sub is followed. Seemed the 'wrong sub' was waiting as Ross Draper wanted the No. 5 on. Ref reckoned Elgin AM was time wasting, so rightly booked him. Anyway, that's beside the point as we should have comfortably won that game. 13 hours ago, TheClosingArguement said: To be fair to Elgin they absolutely played the referee like a fiddle in that 2nd half.
