I like Dillon and Dixon, they were very good servants to the club and very good players in their prime but at that stage they were well past it. Durnan never had it. Christ knows what Knoyle was like but I'm labelling him as just as pish as the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 3 hours ago, captainkev said: Can't speak for anyone else, but I found the Doon Derby relatively easy to move past, if only because by that point getting relegation confirmed at Dens just felt bleakly appropriate for that absolute dumpster fire of a season. Really don't understand why the 2014 cup final still has so much of our support rattled to such a degree. The 2008 League Cup final though. That one still hurts. Agree about the Doon Derby, but the 2014 Final was on a par with 2008 for me. We deserved to lose in 2014, that was down to McNamara (hard to believe we've had, I think, 7 managers since then, plus caretakers three times). But 2008 was down to Kenny Clark. If referees are cunts, Clark is the cunt's cunt. 3 hours ago, Sarto Mutiny said: I never got over the 1987 Scottish Cup final tbh. Nothing has ever hurt as much as that day did. Every one of them for me, until 1994, were equally as draining, even the expected '74 loss. 2 hours ago, mishtergrolsch said: That was the team for the Doon Derby...

ArabianKnight Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Stop the gurning. I bring tidings of good news, or rather a wee positive rumour. We may have a certain Welsh midfielder beyond this season if wages can be agreed. Just a rumour mind you, a wild rumour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB-Scotland Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 2008 somewhat still hurts, but that we won the big cup 2 years later and then Rangers died lessens it. 2014 is just incredibly frustrating, given the squad we had, and the way McNamara refused to adjust his tactics for St Johnstone, who had sussed them out over the course of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ach, the team was such a shambles that season that it was difficult to fairly judge any of the new guys who came in. Some of them, in other circumstances, could have been perfectly decent but throwing them all together at once from all corners of the globe, into a team in freefall and a manager who was panicking and changing formation every week, was doomed to failure. I don't blame Knoyle, Demel, Kawashima, Sinama Pongolle or Bodul, etc. I do blame McNamara, Coll Donaldson, Sneijder, Gunning and some others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Forrest, mediocre for us for 2 seasons, then suddenly becomes our best player for 2 months when he's looking to put himself in the shop window. Tbf I'd love to keep him at Livi just for how he's played so far in 2022. New Alan Forrest would be an asset for you. Old Forrest would be a benchwarmer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah got JET to Aberdeen vibes to it, firmly expect Forrest to score a hattrick against Utd on Wed to seal the deal on them signing him. Then be absolute pish for them next season. Oh and wonder if Utd have a young player they don't rate that Martindale can do a swap for Forrest, so we can turn him into a cracking player (Anderson for JET, Penrice for Tiffoney type thing) .

I said on another thread that I'm starting to turn on Kawashima a bit. He earned us a few points with some great goalkeeping. If he had been shitter, we'd have been down before the Doon Derby, the useless-but-actually-quite-good c**t 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
