KBOO72 4,466 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Giving the armband to Dessers seems like the best option. Would hopefully take his game to the next level. My Fathers Scarf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always have to wait until Tav or Borna jog over and by that time any advantage we have is gone as the opposition have plenty of time to organise themselves. It's mind-blowing stupidity following a rigid policy for absolutely no good reason. Yes, its an awful idea as we let the other teams set up. Free-kicks are the same as well.

East Enclosure Row N 2,861 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 We've signed 10 outfield players this year. Is somebody really telling me that none of them can take a free kick or a corner and it has to be Tav 9 times out of 10? 16BlueSherbert90, hawkfalcons and SteveEarle 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player worth his salt could have a go at a free kick and strike a dead ball, and if you can’t take a throw in, then your the wrong sport. beararse, 16BlueSherbert90 and SteveEarle 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hammer93 15,128 Posted October 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2023 People thinking a captains role on the park is overrated or not that important are miles off Great captains are leaders of men, they inspire those around them to perform to the required level, those traits breed success....fuck me imagine trying to tell the likes of Gough, Souness, Greig, Butcher, Baresi, Maldini,Moore & Beckenbauer that their role wasn't that important!!!! I looked at Tav on Thursday night just after we lost the opening goal, he had a look of fear as if to say "here we go again " I'm wanting my captain to be furious at losing a goal so cheaply whilst getting the players to gee themselves up and get ready to go again......I saw absolutely zero of that, Tav is not a leader and his game has fell off a cliff drastically over the last 18month, we need to change, maybe taking away the responsibility will help his game, personally I'm not convinced, I just feel he we have seen his peak Garnock Blue, bornabear, mearns loyal and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 In the press conference before the game he sat with Steve D and looked completely disinterested, almost smug. He has an arrogance about him that is not deserved as he is too cowardly to speak to the fans and is shit as a defender. I wish he would just leave.

This is what you get when you have weak managers, Gio, Beale and now Davis. All nice guys but are letting Goldson and Tav. make stupid decisions like taking all the dead ball situations and playing long balls straight to the opposition.. They both must go for the team to improve, if not expect the same results we have been getting. Souttar for captain. Smile 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRUTH82 819 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 In my opinion (yes just an opinion) a captain needs to have passion and aggression, that's the two ingredients for me. Someone who will rally the troops, and yes grab them by the shirt as and when required. Tav is far to nice and laid back. I know football has moved on, but at the same time I'd have loved to have had big dunc in that backroom team on Thursday, Aris would need a new changing room door and Goldson and Tav would be bandaged up like Terry Butcher. graeme_4, beararse and VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 35,216 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I think with a fresh set of eyes, and the remit to rip things up, I’d strip him of it and go with Butland. Maybe Cantwell as VC, and build the team around the two of them going forward. shaka 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandStandBear 995 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 The captaincy doesn't mean a whole lot these days and a goalkeeper isn't usually a good choice given how far they can be from the action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,440 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Hopefully whoever the new manager is will review the captaincy. It is long since past time for a change. Amokachi and Bears r us 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,529 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Currently, I wish we had a captain like Butcher that booted fuck out of the paedodome’s door, at least show a bit of passion. Standards are nowhere near good enough and the players need to know it. BlueboyG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
