McKay is easily one of the top 3 technical players we have. The constant abuse he receives for no going into a challenge with some 6'3 bruiser is mind boggling. Garner receives all sorts of plaudits, doubt he's contributed half as much to the team as McKay
-
One of our better players. According to TheSPFLRadar on twitter the top performing full back in the league(only covers attacking stats really). Regardless his defending is better than folk like to admit. One on one he's excellent, however he could improve when he is required to tuck in.

Did we not win 2-1 last time we played Thistle at Firhill? Last minute Mendes strike if I'm remembering correctly...
-
I want to win it on Saturday, the best sort of birthday. Last time we played on my birthday we got beat 3-2 at home to Dundee Utd

Hahaha the state some folk get into after dropping some points

Mohsni for me is every bit as good of CB as we currently have and I still say that in this division he'd be a decent CDM.
Not a popular opinion to share but the way I look at it is that Mohsni became a "bomb scare" when the arse had fallen out the team, i.e. at the same time Wallace and Law were shite. A "bomb scare" that was 90% of the time the difference in stopping us losing a goal at that time.
Out of Wilson and Kiernan - who of them is our commanding CB that wins every header and doesn't make a mistake? Mohsni won every header, commanded his position, had the ball played through him permanently in a far worse team and he could skin a man or two; his temperament was suspect though no doubt. You could argue that his decision making was also suspect with ease.
Mohsni's "fuck-ups" were basically him being passed the ball with 2 men on him as the last man and him not finding a pass, losing it and us losing a goal in a team that was always 1 goal away from defeat. Would that be the case now?
Now none of what I've said means he wasn't guilty of some lax decisions or that he had a sensible head on his shoulders - all I'm saying is that if you addressed those two issues in any way I reckon he'd not look out of place as CB in this team under Warburton.
Mohsni would lose the ball trying to skin 2 maybe but he actually was capable of doing it 80% of the time; when Wilson or Kiernan make an arse of it it's failing to mark their man or watch for playing a man on side - they are hardly lightyears ahead, who of either of them can skin 1 or 2 players regularly and get away with it? Arguably they are no better but given a far easier ride because the train is moving on whole in the right direction.
While I'm not calling for us to re-sign him, I don't think I'd cry if he was offered until the end of the season to get his shit together and prove himself worthy of a further deal. No one could say that experiment wouldn't be interesting to watch and if someone will get a turn out of him then Warburton's the man is he not?!
Maybe I'm too kind to him and lot of my judgement on him is based on 'ifs and ands' but I honestly think people are overly scapegoating of Mohsni all things considered.
Despite sharing these ponderings and points I lastly just want to stress that to win the top division we either need our CB's to improve dramatically or we need to replace them because they are not good enough, it is that simple for me.
He got skelped off Rory Loy in the air when he made in 1-1 in the Falkirk game

Any friendly pubs showing the game in western Berlin, that anyone can recommend?
-
Only read the first page(the website seems broke, has been for a while), but absolute state of some the comments. Work in progress ya panic merchants
-
A left back
-
Any detail on season ticket prices within this thread? Every time I go to check online the website glitches out like fuck
-
Scored a peach against us for St Mirren. Played the ball out from the back, completed a few one twos and scored a volley I'm sure
-
Has he been in any job other than here, where he's 'spent'? From what I can remember it's been mostly national sides with a few clubs sparingly between
-
Did somecunt really just say Zaliukas made Jig look like Maldini? Hahaha
-
Hutton is a different type of player compared to Allan and Fyvie. Best midfield performance in some time
-
Hutton was/is currently out best midfielder. Criminal that Black just walked into the team over him.
-
Was that supposed to be a joke, that stuff above? Also what's the problem with Carmody?
-
Does he no play upfront?
-
One of the most visited sites by the beasts...S1jobs. Favourite film is Never been kissed hahah
-
Didn't look a player in the youths? I remember watching him in a cup final at Clyde's ground scoring an overhead kick against the beasts in a cup final
-
I think there's a good case against both their goals, if I remember correctly they dived for both the penalty and the free kick which lead to the headed goal
-
Did I just read that right? Has Faure been out captain? I like the guy, but that's embarrassing on so many levels
-
Make it available for mobile users and that, more hits
-
I actually really enjoyed the game, one of the few which has had my full attention. Both teams defended pretty well. Some good performances from Black, Foster, Faure and Peralta(when he wasn't giving it away). Only thing that annoyed me was McCulloch somewhat acting and Aird's greediness on certain occasions.
