kkennedy 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 He must have known that coming straight into the role left vacant by Alan Hutton was always going to be difficult but he has done ever so well since big Al left. He has "stayed within himself" and not let the side down at all. On Saturday i thought he neutralized Mc gayday beautifully and although he got some crosses in, he never was a threat. Well done Kirk. Any thoughts bears? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddieBear 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 i dont agree. he's done well, but i don't think he's good enough, and i dont think he had full control of mcgeady on saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkennedy 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well then you clearly didn't see the game on Saturday. Mc gayday is arguably the best winger in Scotland and I wasn;t threatened by him at all on Sat. He had a few crosses which he is always bound to have but he was fairly well controlled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddieBear 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I actually did see the game on saturday and i personally didnt believe that kirk did have full control of mcgeady. i wasnt threatedned by many of the celtic players tbh. your obviously not open to the opinions you asked for mate. :baffled: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 from what I understood it took more than one of us to make sure McGeady was well and truly cancelled out. Thats why he lost it and bashed Nacho with the ball at the end I guess hehe.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWhiteBlue1872 407 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Broadfoot done o.k He certainly didnt have McGeady under control, the wee scumbag only had to run and he was past him. KB should be no more than a squad player who is the understudy of our new right back we need to get in this summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkennedy 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 just not open to uninformed ones I guess.. so tell me when did Mc gayday actually worry you? when did Broadfoot get skinned? how many times was KB asked to run 70 yards down the pitch following him and then asked to take the ball and sprint all the way down to their end? All im saying is for a virtually cheap replacement to Hutton he was terrific. wake up I guess mate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I thought McGeady ripped him apart. Any time he got the ball he was able to hit the by-line and swing in a cross. Luckily for us his crosses weren't great and our defence dealt with them with ease. I am still quite concerned about that right back slot. I think peoples sympathy towards Broadfoot may be clouding their judgement ever so slightly. Don't get me wrong, I would love the guy to do well. He just hasn't quite convinced me yet.

TeddieBear 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Aye ok mate. my opinion is uninformed and yours is full of fact. im not the only one who doesnt believe kirk is good enough. I'll take your advice though and wake up. thanks i wondered what was wrong. :bed: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 McGayday left Broadfoot for dead at times. We have McGayday's lack of ability, Davis and Dailly to thank. I don't think Broadfoot was that good tbh and when celtc ran at him I didn't feel comfortable. A quality RB is a must in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWhiteBlue1872 407 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 kkennedy, Are you serious you ask for peoples opinions when clearly the vast majority are in favour of Teddiebears opinion especially me, so i need to wake up too i guess? why ask for peoples thoughts then react in that way, the term hypocrite comes to mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkennedy 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 fair enough then lads I must have seen it a little differently. Ill concede. That;s why there is Chocolate and Vanilla Ice cream. Sorry for that comment Teddy Bear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I don't think we should be too harsh on KB for this game, McGreaty was getting past all our players on a one-one basis. On the whole I thought KB had a pretty good game, I wonder if Lowing is ready for another chance yet he has deputised in the past when he was even younger.

docspiderman 1,248 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Broadfoot tries but in all honesty is not good enough and certainly did not do well on saturday. Once again we have to be thankful to Cuellar, Dailly and Davis who had to cover and help him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue1872 2 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Davis and daily helped Broadfoot out a huge amount against McGayday. McGayday got past broadfoot a good few times. Really not a fan of broadfoot tbh, hope we sign a quality replacement for hutton in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petebrown11 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ive never been a fan of Broadfoot, but i thought he had a decent game on Saturday, and ocassionally he does look useful. I'm wondering how he'd play as Cuellars partner in central defence, with papac/smith out left and someone new (and decent) on the right. As i say, I dont rate him, but he shows potential at times and Walter's rarely COMPLETELY wrong about this kinda stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I thought Broadfoot was Poor on Saturday he looked lost at times,he was Lucky Dailly and Davis were there to help him out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 he was under pressure 1st half , but did well in the 2nd half , he has not let us down whenever he has played IMO , we still need a quality RB in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear 4,101 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 He tries his best but afraid it's nowhere near good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 People seem to keep forgetting, that not only is he not a natural right back but is a central defender but his left foot is primary supposed to be his strongest, so I think on those grounds alone he has been doing well, and he must be doing well enough that WS still picks him over Whittaker who is supposed to be a right back.

delparlane 5,720 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Thought Kirk coped well enough, but I think the main reason McG was shut down was that Walter had his tactics spot on and used multiple players on him to nullify the threat. We've been getting the same medicine from other teams when playing Burke in recent games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I think it just shows how poor Whittaker really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVanDarche 23 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 McGayday skinned Kirk a fair few times in the first half, was just the facts that we doubled up on him + he's shite that meant he didnt cause us too much hassle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
britishempirexi 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I am still trying to give KB the benefit of the doubt at the moment. On Saturday he was ok. I've been having my doubts about him recently on whether he is actually good enough. He was particularly bad against Partick Thistle and that was one game he should really be strolling through (as should the rest of the team). But as I say, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. It would be nice to think that he could develop the way Craig Moore did. Remember he wasn't the best but WS saw something in him and he developed into a great player. KB does work especially hard and you hear about him spending extra time with the likes of Wier for defensive tuition. We'll see. We do need a new established RB for next season though.
