He went up for a header, and headered the back of Billy Mehmet's napper. Unfair as I thought it was at the time, it paid off when Frank Aafjes stepped in and strolled the ICT game (and the SC final, but I can't seem to recall how that went...) Moral victory. We played them off the park with a team we could afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hopefully Kidd and Grant will be pushing for a start for this one. I'd also change the shape of the midfield a little and have Craigen in the no.10 role. Rogers Kidd Gasparotto Grant Leahy Kerr Taiwo Sibbald Craigen Miller Baird Subs: Mehmet, Muirhead, McCracken, Rankin, Hippolyte, McHugh, Austin Not a huge amount of pace in the starting 11 but Hippolyte, McHugh and Austin coming on to run at tired legs should give us a big bost.

Aafjes was a stone cold #baller. Mental how he never played more. More so when it was Presley keeping him out the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant think of any away team being as much up for a game at our home ever. I used to rib a few St Mirren fans from Falkirk over our home(Brockville) record v St Mirren which had a decent stretch of being undefeated and not as MIA as the Morton record. The TFS record is a bit of a mixed bag now, sure St Mirren were the first team to beat us in the league on our promotion season 04/05 which is always a c*nt, Ive always wanted to see us go through a season at home undefeated and twice been kicked in the ass very late on, tho the season after we nearly went a season at home without a win. All to early yet but do St Mirren see light at the end of the tunnel as it stands for the season ? Like winning, losing can become a habit, still I dont the 2nd tier has been as cut throat as it is now in my time and thats not a compliment to the position St Mirren find themselves in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'd forgotten how bad we were in the league that season. Unfortunately we were even worse the next season. Always liked Andy Dorman as a player. Midfielders who make runs beyond the strikers are hard to come by these days. I'm surprised he never seemed to hit the same kind of form elsewhere in his career.

Out of our starting 11, Id possibly only take 2 to go in our current 11 and also folk go on about lack of pace, yep a back four of Bullen(38) Pressley Barr and Scobbie mustve had Ally McGraw thinking he could make a comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Riera and Aafjes were quality players as well. Just the rest of the team were shite (with Pressley, Bullen, McNamara & McCann being hopeless for the money they were on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have him starting now for sure although, as you say, he couldn't last 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Riera was a real class act, would never have been anywhere near us if it wasn't for his fitness problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
