Goggles & Flippers

I mentioned in the Celtic thread that I felt a lot of outside circumstances aligned to make his perception among our fans particularly rosey. So I'll summarize: * We had an under performing team off the back of two horrible results * He came in at a time of need * We had a successful run, best in 77 years apparently * Mostly against bottom 6 teams * This turnaround was no doubt off the back of some serious soul searching, arse kicking and return to form I think he would be a welcome addition to the squad at present as Nielsen hasn't impressed me, I felt Hollis did OK but has a PR mission to convince some of our fans otherwise. To get him while he's under contract (granted as a third keeper) we're probably in a position of maybe doing a swap for him, anyone happy to welcome him in if Scouse goes the other way permanently? Because I reckon that is what we'd have to do to secure him.

Be careful of wikipedia, if you search under your name it says you're a member of MENSA ......

My first away game was at Parkhead in 91, Dougie got a brace. However I'd never set foot in the San Giro now for various reasons. Beating anyone else doesn't come close

A lot of the unwashed from phone in's and their forums seem to think Keith Lasley is particularly dirty especially when it comes to them (bear in mind they are both the world's best fans and the victims of establishment conspiracies). You wonder if any of this paranoia seeps down to the players and influenced Stokes' behaviour so late in the match when the game was won. Just when we're on the subject, I fully expect them to appeal on Monday. While the SFA can retrospectively punish someone for aggressive behaviour, does anyone know if that extends to diving to win penalties? I've always wondered why handball by an outfield player on the line or the last defender bringing down a striker through to deny a clear goalscoring opportunity are immediate reds however a striker diving to try and deceive the ref and win a penalty with a fair chance of the defending player also being booked only ever gets a yellow.

When I played it Chris Humphrey used to get 30 assists a season and 10 goals. During the game his little amber dot didn't run to the corner flag and make an arse of the subsequent cross.

On the money weeyin, all this talk of being at our best and Celtic at their worst nonsense, ICT under Butcher went there and repeatedly gave them a game. McCall's caution vs this mob hasn't really worked on their turf

Twardzik no doubt benefited joining a team where the two results prior to his arrival were awful, that in turn spurred on a few under-performers to start showing why we signed them, against sides mostly in the bottom half of the table and no doubt aided by the fact that Hollis haters quickly added Gunnar to their repertoire so anyone new was going to be welcomed. He didn't have the physical presence in goal I'd become accustomed to (granted we were spoiled with Ruddy and Randy). I didn't see the penalty decision, was he at fault?

I will never like a keeper who insists on punching and palming shots when gathering it in is a better if slightly trickier option. All those who bemoaned Hollis at the end of August and called for Gunnar's inclusion, any red faces?

In hindsight nope, bit of heat, quite a few sarcy comments and an hour of my life I'll never get back compiling everything. Lesson learned

Now there's around 50 votes, an no doubt being influenced by the age and memory of those who did so, here we have the worst XI to step onto the Fir Park pitch and also be paid to do so. There are no doubt much worse guys out there but this team would struggle to beat a bunch of schoolgirls (wouldn't you agree Sydney?). The midfield and defence were pretty much clear with the attack more skewed, Derek Townsley for example looked like a shoe in but was overhauled in the past day and now doesn't even make the team. It goes without saying some players would be better placed within the formation but its purely an indication. Manager: Maurice Malpas Assistant: Harri Kampman ---------------------------------- John Gardiner ----------------------------------- -- Eddie Forrest ----------- Bobby Donnelly --------- Danny Murphy -- - Shawn Fagan --------------- John Davies -------------- Trevor Molloy - Paul Keegan - Esteban Casagolda - Calum Elliot - Abel Thermius Subs: Colin Meldrum Yassin Moutouakil Ange Oueifio Bob Malcolm Brian Kerr John Hendrie John Reilly

Only fannies do shit like that

Just goes to show sarcasm doesn't work without a whistling smiley

Yeah and he won YPOTY playing in midfield in his first season. I think you are confusing worst ever with taking bad career advice

not literal, being overly pedantic or a smart arse, must come with that red text beside your name 3-3-4 formation + can't get more than 20 names per question + "Midfielders 3 from both" included in first question + dealing with adults = happy result

And my comment was directed at ScottW not you daver

I was limited to 20 options per question, if anyone has any ways round about it then please share, otherwise any complaints can be made to IP Board.

Interesting to see who was slagging him off weeyin, bet the same person has got a voodoo of Vigurs out and smearing shite on it due to his recent form.

I thought the instructions were pretty clear. Sorry about Ruby, I don't think his inclusion in the defenders would have made much difference though.

He was another doubler, one of the issues of going through over 100 posts and copy and pasting them into one document.

As before, they are in rough alphabetical order .... ish Remember pick 4 in total from both sections not 4 in each.

I had to split the midfielders as you can only have 20 options per question so spread your three votes through both

So, here we are at the vote, I'll do the midfield and forwards shortly. Thought based on the weighting it would be best to go for a 3-3-4, so please vote accordingly, limit your votes to the correct amount per section. If a moderator could merge this with the original thread I'd be obliged, I couldn't introduce a poll. Obviously a lot of votes will be influenced by when you started attending FP.

So all identified except for this lot, any help appreciated. Angeand Paul Shepstone Derek Murray Jamie Doyle

nobody inclined to go through the list I compiled and help me? no? bunch of wideo's .....
