Sliding into the Premiership

Been a good laugh. Try not get too upset next season if a Premiership team hires a boy for Twitter illustrations.- 66 replies

Hank Scorpio replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
That was a terrible first half last night, followed by a pretty reasonable second half. I thought the switch to 3-5-2 really worked in an attacking sense but we still looked very suspect down the flanks whilst defending. I always try to separate the performance from the result and not just think everything was good because we won - or bad because we got beat - and being completely honestly we could’ve had zero complaints had Inverness run out winners. Three attempts off the woodwork and a few wonder saves from Kev gives us the win. Games like last night are why it’s difficult to really complain too much about finishing 2nd. Yes it’s very easy to look at the games v Arbroath and wonder “what if?”, but for every defeat snatched from the jaws of victory we probs let have at least 2 reverses of that where we’ve nicked it without fully deserving it. I think 2nd is probably the right position for us based on the evidence over a whole season. Still proud of the resilience shown by the squad and it’s another result up in Inverness which, for a long time, many of us thought we’d never see. Fully expect Dundee Utd to piss on Ayr from a great height this afternoon and kill it. Performances from last night which I thought were noteworthy: Kev’s performance is as good from any goalkeeper I’ve seen this season. Sensational stops at vital times. 10/10 Dylan Corr did well in basic defending but looked shaky on the ball. I said earlier in the season on the podcast that I think he’s got a lot of the raw attributes to be a very good player but needed game time. I probably still stand by that, but he’s not had the game time to develop. Imagine he will drop into League 1 next season and have a good year. Liam Dick has had a good season at left back. Dependable and solid. Just wish he could get forward more and provide us with the width we sorely lack from that area. Vaughan’s finish was a touch of class. Murray hit the nail on the head in his post match when he said that so many other players would look to blast that with their left foot but he’s got the game intelligence to know where the keeper is and goes with the deft right foot no look caress finish into the far corner. In terms of next season, I don’t want to get too bogged down into who stays and who goes because we’ve a big next month or so to come, but I don’t think a refresh of the forward line would be much of a bad thing. The issue is that the majority of them are signed up for the next season at least. Wouldn’t have any objections to Chalmers to our squad, I’m just not sure that we have the squad space to accommodate him plus all of the current forward options we posses. -
I had optimistically booked a half day from work for this a few months ago. Will not be going now, and unlikely to bother with the Morton game either. Might saunter along to the Arbroath game since it’s at home. We could do with building some momentum for the play offs but realistically this is a dead rubber for us. 1-0 Inverness.

I noped the f**k out as soon as I heard that the last half hour was going to be via microphone. Thought I might’ve been hasty so popped back in, just in time to hear someone ask, “can we win the play offs?”. Straight back out. -

What is this measured, thought-out and eloquent response?! Bring on the angry face emojis. -

Hank Scorpio replied to AllanJM's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
So much chat around us bottling it. Do you not need to generally be in the lead to bottle it? Dundee Utd have led the way for about 90% of the season and we’ve kept tucked in behind them. Folk desperate for a wee dig, and that’s fine, but at least make it one that’s accurate. -
Rovers v Airdrie - Tuesday 09/04
Hank Scorpio replied to AllanJM's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I mean this sincerely: if going to the Rovers is one of your main hobbies - and I imagine it is for the most of us - and you aren’t enjoying this season, I’d give serious consideration to finding something else to do on a Saturday afternoon. it really isn’t going to get much better than this.- 449 replies

Aye that’s what I'm getting at. His days of playing there are finished. Murray asks too much of his wingers going back the way. -

When did Vaughan actually last play on the left? Feels like he did well there in about 2018. -

The Millen thing is an odd one as to why people are so interested in it. There’s been a disciplinary issue, he’s been asked to not return to the club. Someone showed me a screenshot of someone on Facebook claiming that because we use “you belong” as a tagline, that means that we deserve to know what happened How would you feel if there was a disciplinary issue at your work and you got some sort of sanction placed against you, then everyone found out about it? You’d be rightly annoyed. The club still has a duty of care towards Ross Millen, regardless of what’s happened and I’m quite happy they’re keeping quiet, as any professional operation would. The clamour for the club to release a blow by blow account on what’s happened is both bizarre and never going to fucking happen. -
