Replays

Brown’s goal was a stunner. Also, despite the potentially catastrophic effect it could have have on my team (and the woeful defending that with it), I’ll admit I’ve watched Kirkpatricks effort sail into the top corner more than a few times! Enjoy the day on Saturday all.

Two really poor goals conceded from our point of view. We must be well into double figures for goals lost from set pieces too. Far too many in that Clyde team today didn’t look up for the fight. Kabia may have a bit of ability about him but him and Rennie on the wings could barely have given their opposite numbers an easier time. Leitch continues to blow hot and cold but we may not see him again this season depending on what his injury is like. Kian Leslie had a good cameo when he came on. Lyle’s save from Ballantyne at the end was excellent. McGinn improved second half but was absolutely hopeless in the first and cemented, in my mind, that for all his faults, Alex King is probably our best option at left back (or he would be were he fit). Scullion being back next week is a bonus for us. I can’t tell whether we’ll avoid/survive the play-offs. I’m not convinced enough players out there have the stomach for it and whilst we’re a capable enough outfit or our day, we can’t defend set pieces and we give away so many goals from daft errors. Given even the best case scenario for us next week will see us head up to Elgin really hoping to at least avoid a defeat (otherwise it could be a very nervy afternoon of checking scores) I’m not entirely confident.

Howie’s been threatening to do that since he came back. Sums up this shower.

What a pathetic lot

Match preview is saying the main stand.

You have to question why we simply didn’t try and kick the ball into the goal more during the first half?

What a farce.

VERY close call that for the offside.

Call it off ref.

Think we may as well go home after failing to capitalise on that wind advantage.

Expected to stop within the next half hour or so too. Given two of our previous meetings this season have been victims of extreme weather of Biblical proportions, a bit of heavy rain’s nothing!

Look at this, three pages for this topic, a combined total of about four posts about the football, and about thirty-four posts about pubs. You absolutely love to see it!

I’m probably in the minority here but I actually prefer King playing at left back to playing in midfield! I don’t mind him playing off the right either as is capable of a wonder goal or a great delivery. However, whilst he did have a stinker on Saturday, I actually think he’s been quite solid at left back and grabbed a couple of assists there too (Bonnyrigg and Stenhousemuir). I think if played in the middle of the park the game can pass him by as he’s not particularly quick, aggressive or strong. I agree with some comments about his attitude but it is important to remember how young he is. I’m not sure it’s that he doesn’t care as maybe losing confidence. In saying all of that, there’s always a part of you that thinks he’s been a disappointment but that may be due to some of the hype surrounding his arrival (plus the stunning goal he scored on his debut that had us expecting more). However, whilst he hasn’t had a Scott Banks level of impact, I do think he’s contributed a reasonable amount for a 19 year-old. From Morton’s perspective, I’m sure he’ll return there a better player.

I could be wrong but I’m sure I read they’re father and son. I also believe Brian Kinnear and Lewis Budinauckas were team mates in the Rangers youth teams and remain good mates.

Kev’s boy I believe. Not hard to believe given the rarity of the surname in Scottish football circles.
