Tweed Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Well we played well today, very impressed by Law; Higdon in flashed looks all right and I have no doubt his sharpness will come. Hard to judge because Dumbarton were total garbage but goals around the team, some nice finishes and their goalie made some lovely stops as well. Had he not been there we could have had 7 or 8. Leeds will be a good test for them and may offer some yardstick as to where we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good wee day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 How did Muir look? Been what, two decades since we brought our own keeper through the ranks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villageman Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Muir did all that was asked of him, to be honest that was not much. Hollis was busier in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyFCFan Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 So why weren't your fans allowed to put their flag up today? Great day out, decent performance and I was glad to see Nicky Law show you what he can do, I've always rated him! Brilliant banter with the tannoy announcer trying to remember the substitutions too. Fantastic scenery from the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC'd Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Echo the thoughts, Law was tremendous. Great pass for Humphrey for the opening goal. Great link up play with Murphy for his own goal, and a delicate finish as well to round it off. Started to get stuck in a bit more as well. I know its far too early to say, and it'll just merely be because it is pre-season and is not match sharp - but Higdon did stick out like a sore thumb today, struggled against the lower league opposition - and we can't judge him on one performance - but if we did, Casagolda looked a better option. Long way to go and he did technically set up Craigan's goal and indirectly Murphy's opener. Good performance, and other positive was another solid perfomance from Hollis again in goal for the 1st half. A few brilliant stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 The jobsworth steward was a mid forties midden who needed a ride...ahem, apparently... Law looks a good signing. Vision and likes the ball on the deck. Mchugh rattled his goal home to be fair. Forbes-i know this will be controversial- passing is quality, played a xavi-esque pass to murphy first half(as did law) but again could do with a session in the gym.

foghorn Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Good day out in the sun and 5 goals spread around the team. All looked comfortable and although not great, Higdon will not be pushed around and looked very much part of the squad, he will improve. Nicky Law looks like a fitba player, with good vision, pace, and eventually a great finish. Looks like a midfielder who can go forward rather than the holding type. Usual solid displays from the rest, Murph looks sharp already. Re the flag, apparently due to its size it required a fire safety certificate which was not produced. Therefore it was not allowed to be tied to the pitchside barrier and after discussion with stewards and the Old Bill, several possible ejections and arrests were eventualy avoided.

Jesus wept, talk about overkill. This country is becoming obsessed with perceived risk and people trying to engineer situations to make themselves feel important and justify their posts.

another number Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 nice wee day out yesterday. As has been said Law looked impressive but it's always difficult to judge against lower league opposition you're not familiar with. Thought McHugh looked sharp when he came on and took his goal very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that hat Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Was the biggest cheer given to the announcer for getting the eight 'Well subs correct or the announcement he tried to make next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yir Elder Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Very enjoyable day out yesterday, its a very picturesque ground to watch your fitba in, although that might not necessarily be the case in the dead of winter! Enjoyed our performance yesterday, some lovely stuff and in truth we could've easily doubled our tally. For all Dumbarton were poor they did at least try to play some fitba. I anticipate that Nicky Law will be a very important player for us this season, but will sadly be a target for the midfield cluggers that earn a living in the SPL!
