RC55 FFC Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Let's face it, these news refs are trained by Willie Collum, of course they are going to be poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The photo doesn't even do the whole incident justice. Sheps gets there 1st and it was clearly his ball. The thug comes thumping through him without touching the ball and wins the foul. A truly brilliant piece of refereeing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had the tabloids to promote this joke of a decision like the Weegie pair do. This joker will continue to make an arse of himself until he screws over a big team and suddenly the press will care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn2 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Does Sheps merit a starting role as Striker rather than winger given his form in development team? Also I notice Kidd played at right mid today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I've watched a few U20s games, I think Sheps does well at that level BUT he's more often than not up against young boys not much bigger than he is. As seen from his cameo appearances in the first team & when he's in/around the box he's more often than not eased off the ball or they simply go through him like he isn't there. I can understand why Houstie plays him on the wing as a sub but his impact is minimal. I can think of an assist last year at Raith but nothing from this year, although could be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two assists last year, depending on how you define assist. He had the one against Raith and also puts the cross in against Hibs which a defender headed to Leahy to score the thunderbolt that brought us back to 2-2. Before Sir Bob stepped up to consign them to another season of First Division football. One assist this year, also against Raith. He played a cross back to the centre of the box for Lee to head into the net. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 David Smith got 6 assists last season and was called useless.Sadly Shepps isn't good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 9pts needed from the next 3 games starting today. Even then we need United & Hibs to drop points too. Sounds like their will be changed today but can't see any more than 4 at a push which for Houstie is way off his usual tinkering. A win today sets us up nicely for Boxing Day against that lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Ayr, St Mirren, Queens, Dumbarton and Dunfermline we needed 15 points.Last week was a killer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I don't know why we're still persisting with this lop sided 4-4-2. With the players Houstons signed it just seems obvious that we should be playing a back 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Jobbie to return. I think Houstons done a decent job since arriving and I've been very supportive of him however I must admit to being hacked off with this summers signings and today's changes. Rankin for vaulks!!! Craigen for Alston! Kidd!!?? Dropping luca and leahy today after a five game unbeaten run. Tonight I was thinking the same Ian mccall or even Jim duffy if he leaves...Anyway I'm away to get a life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 We are crying out for a settled team, as we had last season. I didn't disagree changes were needed for today but I'd much preferred he tinkered it at home as opposed to away. This league was there for the taking and feel this is an opportunity that's going to pass us by, similar to the year Dundee & Hamilton were fighting it out with us. The BOD need to back Houstie in January but it's maybe too late already. We certainly can't afford to lose many more games, especially when Hibs & Utd continue to drop points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
