Probably the most proficient in the dark arts at the club Aye, and getting his body in front of the ball to draw a foul when he's knocked over. Those type annoy me when it's the other way around, noticed Marv getting one even off Aitken, where he literally threw himself in front of the player and the ball and hit the deck without any contact, it was all in the momentum of getting in front of the opposition player that took him down. You always say watch and don't touch them they're looking for the slightest touch to go to ground, sometimes just hitting the deck anyway without being touched and getting awarded a foul. The most cunning ones back into the player themselves to fall down. Edited October 20, 2020 by LIVIFOREVER 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 On 18/10/2020 at 14:14, LIVIFOREVER said: I think we got the wrong McCrorie brother on loan, the Aberdeen one has been getting deserved plaudits, whereas ours is just bewildering reading the praise he gets, esp after watching him playing for Livi. Stryjek has only played in 3 games for us and you can immediately see an improvement compared to McCrorie, in every one of those games. So frustrating seeing him sitting on the bench and not getting his chance in league games outside of Sevco. I think that's what makes the criticism on McCrorie even worse, our fans wanting Stryjek to have a chance getting a run of games, so we can see one way or the other if he really is an improvement in goals. If he isn't then it would prob be more acceptable letting McCrorie develop as our number one, mistakes and all. We'll see what Stryjek does this weekend. McCrorie is highly rated because he's had some really good loan spells (particularly at Queens) and he has most of the attributes you need in a keeper. He's just going to take time to adjust to the pace of the top level, the games going too quick for him at the minute. But he has the athleticism to deal with that once his brain catches up. Allan McGregor went through the exact same thing at Dunfermline and St Johnstone, and he's nowhere near the athlete that McCrorie is. I know that's not comforting to a Livi fan wanting to see their team win now, but I still think McCrorie comes good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryjek kept a clean sheet against you in our last game, saving the free kick near the end too and going into the post doing so, then getting up to deal with a corner kick while still a bit dazed. Just looks so much more commanding in his box than McCrorie. Yeah Liam Kelly was the same in his first spell with us, and a much improved player 2 seasons later when he signed for us in our first season back up in the Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but to be fair we were absolutely rotten that day. We only had three shots on target the whole game, though the free kick was a good save. This weekend will likely be a good bit different. Aye, Kelly is a good example. But again, I think McCrorie just has more athleticism and ability than Kelly did at that point in his career, meaning McCrorie's ceiling is higher when he eventually works it all out (if he works it all out - there's no guarantee). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 source?https://www.camelonjuniors.co.uk/under-20s-update/ Firstly Kai Wilson, who played for 2 seasons with our 2002s squad and a further season in the Under 20s, secured a fantastic move to Livingston FC. Also for the poster asking about him can't say I know anything about him as I'm not a Camelon fan just saw it posted on the EOS forum so decided to pass the info on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Seems to the way we're going just now, looking at the juniors for signings, quite encouraging for junior teams to be having youngish players coming through their ranks, i remember a spell where it was all old pros ending up playing there and hardly any young talent coming up the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know what it'll be like playing at Ibrox and Parkhead, could end up on the end of a 5-0 doing, or even scrape a draw, all our games against you have been quite competitive though, and we haven't suffered any huge defeats. I realize by me just saying that, we're now likely to get gubbed 5-0 on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan McGregor was absolutely outstanding at Dunfermline, saved us from relegation and it was clear to everyone that he was a future Scotland player and certainly had the potential to de throne Klos. He was that good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Allan McGregor was absolutely outstanding at Dunfermline, saved us from relegation and it was clear to everyone that he was a future Scotland player and certainly had the potential to de throne Klos. He was that good. Yeah he was also very, very good at saints for the half season we had him as a 19 year old. Outstanding keeper at that age and first division level. We then replaced him with Craig Samson on loan and the difference was very evident very quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Yep, management obviously rate Poplatnik higher so good for him to go out and get some game time. Liked what I saw of him so hope he does well at raif. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghLivi Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Stryjek Lawson Guthrie Brown Serrano Bartley Sibbald Mullin Pittman Forrest Tiffoney Subs: McCrorie, Devlin, McMillan, ATS, Ambrose, Holt, Robinson, Poplatnik, JET Backup/Injured: Fitzwater, Pignatiello, Maley, Jacobs, Lithgow It won't happen but that's how I'd line up on Saturday. I really don't think we've benefited from our big squad so far this season, I think it's led to too many options and us not having a clear first 11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Is he any good or have you not seen enough of him to tell?I'm quite disappointed as I thought he looked pretty comfortable in the premiership. He'll do well in the championship as he's very physical...sometimes gives away daft fouls where he's a bit overzealous but a good touch, brave, strong and fairly quick. I'll be keeping an eye on rovers while he's there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I can't wait to see Keaghan back in the side...we've missed his bite in a few games this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good signs (strong and good in the air) but a bit naive. Too early to tell honestly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
