You can probably shunt Keatings out there if need be, and the more often we play a diamond, the less likely we are going to need two at any given time. Suspect it will be a wide/winger type of player we bring in. Arnott will be filling in for the 15-20 min midfield cameo for the foreseeable I guess. Forgot about Arnott.

But lets see who's defensive and racist: So, if Blaize is compaired to Marv because they're both big guys with a robust playing style – THAT'S RACISM! But if it's pointed out that say, Kai Kennedy and Dan Armstrong, who are both slight guys and have a quick tricky style of play, that's NOT racism. Why do “unconscious” or “cognitive biases” come into play in one scenario but not in the other identical scenario? Ah I get it, you've got to point out that the first involve black people. Who's unconsciously biased and racially motivated? Can't you see that it's people like you who are racist, so brainwashed by an arrogant assumption of moral superiority that you're blind to simple fact and logic? You believe the generalisation “that black players are much more likely to be associated with concepts such as strength, pace and athleticism”, but it's subtly racist to make that observation - we need to have a “hope of tackling and changing the generality”. So you claim these racial characteristics exist but if they pertain to black people we are to deny they exist or we're racist ! YOU'RE RACIST FFS This next bit is what in Burger King is known as a Whopper, with cheese: Standing “shoulder with RATM” on the current matter, it's your “general experience that those who react angriest and are quickest to dismiss any such possibility are the ones least likely to have understood the nature of the problem“:: RATM: “NO! f**k! OFF! BLACK PLAYERS DON'T IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO BE COMPARED TO OTHER BLACK PLAYERS! FOR f**k SAKE! WE ARE NOT DOING THIS AGAIN! The blind hypocrisy is boundless.

keyser_soze Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Onto the game, win and we top the group, I've got my ticket to the game, I can understand why many won't go but personally I'm over the fear of the last 20 odd months, enjoyed the game at Central Park but can't wait to get back to San Starko tomorrow, just please wee Jimmy Crankie let us all in for the game against the townies Edited July 23, 2021 by keyser_soze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonRover Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Would love another centre mid who is a little more forward thinking.The new fella Blaise seems more of a Wilfred Nanou recycle the ball type (joking). Nah seriously in the short glimpse he seems similar to Spencer in that running beyond the ball isn’t his game.So yeah Silky Hetherston please.I also really like the look of the lad from Stoke - can see him doing well for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie, wee and ineffective in the air. My issue is of no plan B from the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie, wee and ineffective in the air. My issue is of no plan B from the bench. Varian isn't a giant but he's still 6ft tall. Looked pretty strong to me over the two games he has played. He's played two games against Premier opposition in two sub appearances where he's had to play with limited time on the ball and back to goal. It will be interesting to see what type of game he plays when we are able to play further up the pitch.

McGlynn said in his post match that he won a good few headers after he came on at Livingston. By the time he came on, Livi had their two big centre halfs and Obileye at the base of midfield, and Varian was throwing himself around competing with them, and did win a couple. I was impressed. Winning headers from long balls when you're thirty yards from goal and getting on the end of whipped crosses are two different skillsets though, and as renton says he hasn't really had a chance to play in and around the opposition's box yet. With any luck, he'll get more of an opportunity for that this afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC1989 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Is he not 6ft tall? McGlynn said in his post match that he won a good few headers after he came on at Livingston. Aye. To suggest he’s similar to Vaughan and Keatings is ludicrous. He won his fair share of arial duals in the hibs game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks Park Kdy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Varian is the total opposite of wee Vaughan and Keatings, form what I've seen of him I think he will get a few yellow cards as he seems to enjoy roughing defenders up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
