Scottish Premiership Game 4: Hearts (H) Saturday 26/08/17
Clackscat replied to Yabba's Turd's topic in Club Chat
I used to work the scoreboard some years ago so was at the back of the stand next to the media guys and to be fair Richard Gordon (and Craig Paterson and Murdo McLeod) were nice guys and always happy to chat. I think you maybe right about it being editorial cause previously on the long drive home you got far wider post match coverage Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk -
Scottish Premiership Game 4: Hearts (H) Saturday 26/08/17

Sportscene and sportsound are becoming like radio clyde on a bad day. Driving home Saturday hoping to catch up on what happened around the country and all we got was over 20 minutes wittering about Celtic game and the weekly fawning interview with McInness. Disappointing sadly not surprising their lack of indepth or even reasonable knowledge of the 'diddy' teans Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk -
Totally agree re Rose, actually thought he supported front two well today, although was caught too far forward at their goal...he does a lot of 'grunt' work that often goes unoticed, always showing at throw ins, playing simple short passes, and closing down space. It is the type of role that is never fully appreciated except by teammates and manager. Anyways regards mom has to be Kipre who was outstanding Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Just watched the highlights as you say terrific strike also a great cross for third goal...looks a player. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I get where you are coming from and I actually think Robbo is covering both issues...immediate strengthening plus options for the future Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Couldn't agree more Coop. When I heard about this signing I thought someone would have a go about it, but like you I think this is a sensible move which covers a number of bases. Robbo needs to buy time and have a number of options to cover signings not working out and/or U20s not fullfilling potential. You need youngsters with the mentality to overcome obstacles and competition to reach the first team (not to see it as a right of passage) and grab their chance when it comes. No more Blyths on 3 year deals is a big positive...now thats the type of signing it is right to have a go at, not this one which says 'prove yourself' Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Realise it won't be convenient for the majority but it is a cracking surface and its only 40 minutes up the motorway...having made the journey the other way for 30 years or so from a purely selfish point of view it will make it easier for me to see who could potentially kick on!

Hmmm are you perfect Steelboy? Have you ever got somethings wrong at your work, have you ever had the actual responsibility to formulate a plan, see its not working and then change it, have you ever had to put a team of people together, motivate and train them. From the tone of your posts I doubt it as if you have then you will realise managing anything is not an exact science, and perhaps be a bit more realistic in your expectations. It seems to me you have an irrational dislike for our manager which transcends the normal debate and differences of opinion quite rightly aired on here, but I will give you this you have been consistent in your view of him. For now I am happy with what he has done since he stepped in. As regards the likes of Campbell/McLean he has proved he is willing to put them in but they now have to prove they are up to the task. If they do they will play more often simples, but expecting them to be regular starters every week is unrealistic at this stage of their development As you say Campbell changed things when he came on. Wonder who made that decision? But I suppose in your eyes he should be castigated for not starting with him so deserves no credit for making the change. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Agree with all of that but what does 'shilpit' mean? Thats a new one for me and I am often accused of using strange words! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I see BBC reporter is crediting our victory to changing formation to 3 5 2. Couldn't make it today, is that an accurate report? Great to see a win being ground out when not playing well and a manager prepared to make the right changes at the right time. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Ya bezzer seems to think the opposite (ie Airdrie fans not happy with him), but then he has been putting a pretty negative spin on most things recently. Never seen the lad play but happy to trust the clubs judgement on this and the immediate loan back plus having him involved at Motherwell during the week seems sensible Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

2 cracking goals great build up and finishing.....future is bright. If a home draw next lets get it at FP and get a crowd in to see the lads Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Love it, I felt your pain on the previous blog mentioned, as it in many ways epitomised how I felt, and agree with every word in this one. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Can't think of any in recent times. Think the big man could be immense for us. He has a good head on his shoulders as well, watching highlights, at very end of match a ball was played into the box, County man had possession but he didn't dive in, forced him back then ft whistle went. Brains and Brawn that will do for me Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Aye Bigi caught in posession to start it all, maybe not fully fit after missing Sunday Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

It would appear this is one rule you didn't know about mate. I actually thought you were on the wind up with your Robbo/Burrows comment....maybe you were, and if so you have hooked me..... because if not hope you enjoying your big slice of humble pie Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Wasn't a moment of madness it was a certain goal and he 'took one for the team' in trying to stop it. You are right though in that it looked a correct red card to me Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

To put that result into perspective that was County's first defeat in 14 games going back to last season. Terrific result Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Well done lads i am just glad you had more fight and belief in yourselves than the hysterical pant wetters on here Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

We are allowed to in extra time..anyway if we werent the ref would not have allowed it so ffs get real Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I see numerous comments not happy about the back 3. All I would say is Robbo has tightened us up enormously, any game lost has been by the odd goal, or goallie has still to be seriously tested, so for me the more important issue to be resolved is at the other end of the park. Like you I don't think he is afraid to line up differently if he feels it is right to do so, and am quite happy to trust his judgement in that regard Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
