  1. Oohhh get you tossing your insults about because you haven’t the intelligence to debate the point without resorting to name calling. All because some nasty people on a forum don’t see things the way you do. Poor didums!!!! Run along to your anger management and low expectations workshops and leave us adults to have a serious discussion and debate. Oh and just for the record only someone who IS ACTUALLY ON HERE 24/7 would know everyone else who is also on but maybe you don’t have the savvy to realise that.
  2. Never criticised the defence only pointing out Tav has no positional sense On many occasions and is caught out far too often.A forum where people can’t express any other view than your own? Now that’s hilarious.
  3. Fair enough point mate but that one side is his most important part of his job.He is, first and foremost, a defender.As a defender his awareness and positional sense is shocking and by pointing out this fact that is glaringly obvious some people see this as moaning or point to the fact we haven’t conceded a goal yet. If people were honest however, if they had better finishers last night Tav would have cost us goals as his man was left constantly and his positioning was awful.
  4. Fuck off Tav where were you at that goal will be said a lot more though.
  5. Isolated yes. Long balls yes. Doesn’t change the fact his finishing is woeful, heading abysmal and he wanders offside far too easily even when watching the defensive line.With better support and better quality of passes all you do is increase the amount of times he makes a complete arse of it. Unfortunately he has no composure whatsoever about him in front of goal.All this and his petulance will cost us at various points throughout the season and I don’t think he will ever be able to change this aspect of his character.
  6. Totally agree with the first bit about man management.Last bit about getting into these positions baffles me when posters write this.It is what you would expect from any forward minded player to be able to get himself into scoring positions.God if they can’t even do this simple thing then they shouldn’t be on the field in an attacking position in the first place.Trouble with Windass and Morelos is they require far too many chances per goals scored.This I feel really hurts us in bigger games where chances are at a premium.
  7. Spot on for me mate.Very disappointed with this aspect.After all the talk about winning it everywhere on the park it just wasn’t happening.That said poor display or not we were in complete control of the game and expect us to be in the next round.
  8. Hopefully not.Said it before he is a defender that can’t defend.Anyone who witnessed his performances as captain last season would have grave reservations about this.He doesn’t inspire or motivate players when the going gets tough and usually is found wanting in these circumstances himself.
  9. Spent far, far, far too long hearing such things from various managers now.Doesnt get me excited yet. Proof is in the delivery. He has our backing now he has to show he deserves it.
  10. Exactly this.Whole point of getting them moved was to allow our own loyal ST holders to keep THEIR own seats for this game.Can understand not being able to upgrade because to be frank our TO is a total shambles.Even the most trivial of matters takes forever to sort as it’s really not fit for purpose so upgrading junior tickets is like the fucking Crystal Maze as far as they are concerned! If Jinty is right and they don’t get first refusal then that’s not only a total disgrace but a complete betrayal of our future generation of fans.Does make you wonder where the tickets would end up though Keep fighting Jinty.Its indicative of how we are treated by our own that you have to!!
  11. Bastard, I was going to go for that!!! ok mine would be ‘Players you were excited to sign only to discover they went elsewhere but then finally did sign for us later in their career and you wish they hadn’t as they turned out shit and you wanted them to fuck off anywhere else ASAP’
  12. Would agree but if we do there would be no one left to grow into the older people with so much more class! It’s a catch 22.
  13. Welcome back.Dont class him the same as Naismith or Whittaker.That pair are beyond the pale after the press conference.As football fans we obviously can’t understand anyone wishing to leave.That leads to very blue tinted glasses in certain circumstances.At that time no one was sure what the Hell was happening and I am sure players were being lied to by those running the Club just as we the fans were.At the end of the day it’s their job and it’s their decision made for whatever reasons be it family,career aspirations or financial security that has to be made.Yes we could have got a transfer fee for him but it would only have lined the pockets of those charlatans in charge at the time.All that matters is he is much better than what we have,seems delighted about being back and is not scared to command his area and kick arses if needed.He has a lot to prove and I believe he will do so from the off.
  14. Who needs to withdraw.Just put out a shite team in our first game,play most out of position and let the result take care of itself.Worked for Warburton,Pedro and Murty.
  15. Alnwick-for back up.Proved he can come in and do a good job.Actually much better than Wes in a lot of ways. John-under a good coach and with a better defence about him he will improve even more.At times he has been our major threat going forward and defensively improving all the time. McCrorie-really see a big future for him.Someone like Gerrard to bring him on is a huge bonus. Jack-wins the ball and keeps things tidy and simple.In the right combination in midfield there will certainly be opportunities for him. Docherty-again a lad with potential.Feel for him since he joined as must seem he was the only one in midfield during most of his games.Deserves at least another season to prove his worth with hopefully better support around him. Dorrans-but only if he is an attacking midfielder.He can spot passes and release players helping to get in behind teams.Thrown to the lions a bit this season as being asked to play in a way he isn’t any good at.He was bought as an attacking midfielder let’s see how he gets on if we actually play to his strengths. Candelas-can’t fault his desire or heart.Not afraid to put himself about.Gets in some great positions but majorly let down by his final ball.Work on that and he could be a great asset. Whilst my supporter heart wishes to get every one of this squad to fuck my head thinks the above playesr are capable of doing a job.Not everyone in every game but horses for courses.Be interesting to see what a proper coach can bring out of them.
  16. Conspiracy?We had it within our own hands to finish 2nd and may have fucked it up.Thats not a conspiracy that’s a disgrace.Its our performances that have been shit and caused us to be where we are at present.
  17. He is far from pish.The lad has improved immensely over the last season and has been by far our best and most consistent defender.When you consider he is still maturing and learning it’s very short sighted to state he is nowhere near good enough for us.Considering the shite he has been partnered with just think how much better he would become with a decent CD beside him.The fact that he is the one player not needing to prove himself for next season but he still gave us his all says a lot about his character. His future is elsewhere but he leaves with his head held high and my good wishes.
  18. Spot on.Just what I want from a central defender.Just does his job and clears his lines.Not afraid to put a challenge in either.This lad will only get better.Shame to be losing him.
  19. Honestly to fuck the running of our Club is fucking disgraceful.From blazers through to ticket office, PR to website, we are so ineptly run.Union Bears were spot on.We do deserve better but not just on the field but off it as well.Cant be any other Club that treats such loyal support with such continual contempt.
  20. Well done mate.Always behind people who actually do something rather than just gripe about the situation.
  21. Shit!!Someone saw my last post and I have now been kicked out the club!!!
  22. I would be 100% correct with my ITK postings but first rule of the ITK club is never to let anyone else know you are ITK!!!!!
  23. To be honest think most need to go anyway.Really despise players that can only give their all for certain reasons.Be it new manager,point to prove,contract renewal or whatever.If a player can’t give his all for our Club week in week week out then they can get to fuck.They may not have a great game every week but giving their all should be a given.
