Happy Dosser

DC was a wonderful player (always remember Gullit's assessment of him) but credit to us too for giving him a new lease of life and allowing him to virtually play as he wished. One thing I particularly noticed about David when I saw him every week was that opponents couldn't even get near enough to kick him, he was so aware and so instinctive as a player. I was fortunate enough to work with his gentleman of a brother, who gave me Davie's MoTM engraved wine glass for his performance against Falkirk in the 1991 cup match when I retired. An easy thing to raise a glass to DC when the sad day in March comes around each year. Thirty-eight is dreadfully young to be passing away these days. Thanks for the memories, Mr Cooper.

So easy for a Greek manager when he knows Scotland lack natural goalscorers, are weak defensively and generally lack pace. Set your team up to defend strongly early on and then wait for mistakes and hit quickly on the break and the job is done. Glad Lennon missed this abject performance. I'm afraid our chippy passive-aggressive manager's time should have been up after the dreadful Euro performance #Best Fans Worst Team.

Agreed!

Thanks for that! had no idea Jumbo had Ozzie caps. I blame Shoot! journalism 🤣.

Never! Big Jumbo bravely put his head into the danger zone for the greater glory of The 'Well 🤣. Loved his Jackie McInally robot-style running action: quite a charcter. I think Shoot! once tipped him for a Scotland cap but they were probably being a bit optimistic...

Yes, Watt may be slow now but the ball tends to stick to him and he's a fly old pro who would have drawn fouls from G&I, The Gruesome Twosome, and he played a part in Slattery's second goal. Incidentally, I noticed the BBC commentator described it as "trickling" into the net. Hmmmmm: not to sure about that.....

Poor guy looked out of his depth and quite relieved to get taken off whereas Slattery seemed to revel in the physicality of yesterday's game. In the highlights you can see how cleverly he got round Gogic for his first goal and he wasn't intimidated by Iacovitti either. All in all an excellent performance from him.

Yes, and when we beat them at FP in a sell-out cup tie, Fergie played the victim and complained about our physical play: classic projection from him. Watched Sportscene eventually and thought Robbo displayed very little class in his post-match comments, so I'm glad the draw annoyed him so much. Also, the BBC highlights package was typically poor: MFC's early miss and Gogic's header right at the end were completely omitted and both big incidents which caused delay and injury were not shown either. At least we have a break now to assess injuries and try get some more players back in contention for the Aberdeen game.

Really? Pretty bad to say that, given his side's cynical play throughout. There was a lot of concern from the home fans around me in the POD at the Munce injury, some of whom were critical of what they thought was a tardy response from the first aiders. Ironically, it looked to me that Psychovitti hurt his own player by taking out everyone in front of him on the touchline. He wouldn't have bullied Armstrong, that's for sure. The "Buddies" were the dirtiest I've seen at FP for a while and got away with too much early on from the referee. I wish they were closer to the relegation trap-door, frankly. If it's true we've got a bounce-game with them next week, I'd be concerned about further injuries. Anyone know what is the problem with Viking Armstrong?

Quite. I understand that many fans' views on our jersey depend to some extent on the one they first saw The 'Well wear but the Battenberg/Jester's Outfit, particularly with the counterchanged shorts (white ones might just have made it bearable) was an utter honker abominated by many fans. I still have its groovy predecessor in my cupboard, with all its great memories. I'm only saying this in case some blue-spectacle-framed hipster designer called Dork Spandrel or somesuch dares to even think about reheating the B/JO for next season. If so, the claymore's coming oot the thatch.

Yes, Bobby was master of the statuesque looking-with-surprise-at-the-ball-nestling-in-the -corner-of-the-net stance 😱.

Certainly, if it were possible, because if he were to go to Celtic I think he would be a bench warmer for a while and I don't think David Turnbull's experience at CP was beneficial for his development.

Yes, anything than Lennon signing for one of the OF. If he has to go and it's not to Lyon, maybe Mr Wimmer could facilitate a suitable German destination where he can play regularly and develop further.

Imagine if he ends up at Grayskull after a stunning three months with us 😱.........

Aaargh! Welcome to Controversy Corner! It is normally a Sampdoria-sandwich-style hoop but then as a confirmed Hoopist my eyes might be deceiving me 🤣.
