Never rated Stephen ODonnell when I saw him with Scotland, he looked well out of his depth....he still looks out his depth at Motherwell. Can he not just get a decent cross in ? Gallagher doesn’t look same player as last year...pity tonight, they weren’t great but obviously good enough.

In the wake of a 3 nil win at Pittodrie, that’s the best you can do? Mind you didn’t think you’d be commenting at all ....talking of that has steelheid been on?
-
I had a look on Aberdeen website....it seems to need a log in , much like ours.....is it just for home fans?
-
What a saddo you really are, fellah
-
Great post, that pitch definitely a leveller. They never cut us open and barring 2 dubious penalties, probably wouldn’t have scored. its ok saying you know the ref was blowing for everything but if players throw themselves in the box, any challenge is risky. chris Long is not a goalscorer
-
Not sure you can talk about tactics on a park as bumpy as that, was a slog , but ref gave them a chance . Before anybody says it’s same for both teams , they didn’t play cultured football, they won a couple of pens. We’ve made some money but don’t see us going much further .

Fair dues but putting out unsubstantiated rumours is all some of the punters on here need , to beat him with Even to the extent you quoted a figure (8%) .If he’s on that fig of Turnbull deal, that sounds like 2 years salary , so I am dubious .
-
Here we go, I heard a rumour from the canteen wummin.... Sounds bollocks to me We get a vital win so the usual crew try another angle to nail him. Even if it were true , it gives an incentive to develop players , and it wouldn’t be getting done behind anyone’s back , It won’t be Robinson who decides when and if a player goes
-
It wasn’t brilliant but points were vital. Having lots of possession means little if you can’t score , as we have found out. I didn’t think they ever cut us open bar Lamie’s assists. They swung over plenty crosses but our defence dealt with them , that’s what they’re meant to do . yep, there’s a bit to do but I rather have the points than 60 % possession, Robbo said as much , thst we allowed them the ball and hit on the break.

Lol.... there was a item on radio Scotland news at the weekend reporting a robbery in Glasgow saying masked men had raided shop .....
-
Just with them being alone and outside . Apart from that , it’s a pretty high risk situation. Might as well keep it on in bed too
-
Just as a side note , and nothing to do with football ...why are some people walking alone outside with masks on?
-
But I do think outside events should be a lot less risky..I know there’s an element of getting in and out the park, but that’s where it has to be managed, .the difference between Scottish and English leagues are a lot of our clubs are very dependent on the gate money
-
I thought our game v St Johnstone would’ve been a perfect teat match to allow limited numbers into FP. Haven’t heard anything to indicate we would be one of the test games ....anybody heard anything? i know the numbers in Lanarkshire are increasing but should , if handled properly, be a re,actively low risk event.

Not sure what Kenny McLean has ever done to justify a recall . McTominay is a liability in that position , Clarke is the man who calls the shots but I am definitely not convinced.

Robinson... How Do We Think He's Doing ?

If the season had finished , Hearts may have escaped relegation? -

Robinson... How Do We Think He's Doing ?
Great Balls of Shire replied to postiejim's topic in Club Chat
Yes, he’s been found wanting at a few goals too and Glentoran nearly scoring to take lead. -
Robinson... How Do We Think He's Doing ?
Great Balls of Shire replied to postiejim's topic in Club Chat
I didn’t see Sunday game but did see the highlights where he was standing dreaming for the second goal ...not for the first time this season I don’t know if there’s any young guys who could do a job at right back / left back , probably not or they would given a chance....Robbo isn’t daft , he’ll have noticed players standing dreaming when they should be going with runners , Grimshaw not alone in this . No easy answers but in games of fine margins , defenders need to do the basics or Robbo could be out a job, which I don’t want to see. -

Great Balls of Shire replied to postiejim's topic in Club Chat
Big fan of Robbo but I am concerned. If he persists with Grimshaw , he’s asking for trouble , guy has an engine but is a really limited player...switches off and invariably costs us. I think Ross co are the poorest team we have played but they’ve got the points on the board. I don’t think Accies , County , Livingston are any better than us but they’ve got the points and that’s pressure ....still think we’ll be ok , but maybe We have that horrible combination of too easy to score against and not scoring at other end -
That’s not really how risk assessments should be done though..Give people the info and then it’s up to them , whether they take it on board. On a general level, you can’t shut society down because of what might happen. i can see why visiting the toilet might be an issue but other places have managed it....footbsll stadia aren’t noted for high standards of hygiene in the wc s , in my experience, so any improvement would be welcomed A lot of smaller clubs really depend on gate money , so it’s not just a case of adding some much needed atmosphere.
-
Just on fans attending games in general, Don’t think it’s clicked with the government yet, that the risk in an outside setting is low....they keep saying they are following the science but.....

Nope, but some people have decided to bring on a stroke , anyway

Robinson... How Do We Think He's Doing ?
Great Balls of Shire replied to postiejim's topic in Club Chat
I would take you up on that offer of beating that amount, this team is nowhere as bad as some of the late 70s , early 80s teams. I would agree that there is so little between most of the teams that fine margins will win games,, there doesn’t look a stick on for relegation or third place. -
Season 2020’21: Game 5 Hamilton Accies (H)
Great Balls of Shire replied to texanwellfan's topic in Club Chat
Fresh air kick by O’Donnell and the boy should’ve scored isn’t creating ,other teams don’t gift chances like that. For a defence with 2 Scotland internationals , we are really soft . Actually thought Lammie looked ok .
