Bairnardo Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Haha. Fair enough. You just seem to be posting on every thread I’m ever on. Since my mates are all fannies who hardly watch any football, if I am watching a match I tend to accompany it with the match thread on here. Football better when you can talk about it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychology plays a big part in how teams perform and given the number of bottlers in our team the idea of us having to defend for 90 mins at home gives me the fear.... Oh and talking of Killie,let’s not forget what happened when we went into the promotion play off final defending a lead.... If its arrogant to say getting one point is easier than three.. I'll take arrogant thanks. What next? 'I'd really prefer to have a 5 metre deficit in the last leg of a relay than a 3 metre lead'? And I don't think being a goal behind going to Killie rather than a goal up would have improved things...

NUMBER 7 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 If the second quarter results were repeated Airdrie would win the league, Falkirk would finish third. Must beat Airdrie and Clyde at home in last quarter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless what division we’re in I wouldn’t expect him to be an automatic starter but he’s a good player to have in the squad and his performances this season deserved the extension. I think you may be wrong there. I wasn't at that game but know that Miller definitely played in it and I seem to remember some folk berating McKinnon for playing him in midfield when he was perceived to be a right back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to imagine the fiscal chaos and carnage in fitba below the Premier level if this happened. Simply having to refund 20-25% of season ticket monies alone would put some sides in distress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could do the same with all of McKinnons games tbh.One of the few good decisions he got right for us along with signing up McManus but getting Gary Miller in the door. McManus will quite rightly walk the player of the year awards as he is by a distance our best player but special mention for me to Miller who came in at and really made our midfield a lot more solid. He doesn’t anything complicated or that just tough tackling winning the ball back and moving it on. Every team at our levels need a Gary Miller imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think as POTY the stand outs for this season has to be McManus without a doubt but alongside that Mutch, Miller and start of the season had my doubts on Gomis but cracking we player Connolly much improved as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic_17_uk Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 In recent times it's really only given me the fear tbh. And this collection of players deserve no comparison with the last ones to do well for us in front of big crowds. I dont think its doom and gloom. It seems to be a pretty common and often referred to thing on here. Whenever theres a big crowd and expectant atmosphere it tends to fall flat. FWIW if we do get to the last day in touch I'd probably fancy us to do whatever is needed to get past RaithBig occasions beget The Fear. It's just natural.

mic_17_uk Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 From the man himself putting the Tidser debate to bed. He was told by M&M he would get his chance but would have to wait (see Connolly for the exact same chat) He immediately asked to leave. Seems to be his MO, but if he wants to play then fair enough. Laters. He also says he's very fit but has had his fitness questioned throughout his career. The last 20 mins of so are about falkirk. Actually quite enjoyed listening to the whole thing, albeit over a couple of days. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5q5eyVi3xse6mukrgeoAyr?si=Jk7WwVEpRBqgEQdEUiUE_Q 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidser comes across as a very decent, honest lad. M&M told him he’d get his chance. Anyone who honestly believes he was given that chance is kidding themselves on. He was brought in away to Montrose and did very well in a 2-3 win yet was back out the team again the following week. He never kicked a ball for us again. I’m with Tidser on this. FAR too good a player to be sitting on his arse warming our bench in League 1 whilst dross like Robbie Leitch, McShane, Telfer and De Vita got game time ahead of him. No wonder he fu*ked off! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that he's better than all of them. If he were still here I'm sure he'd be playing more than any of those four, though in the case of Leitch and McShane that wouldn't be hard. I suppose it's even possible that if he'd said he wanted to stay and fight for his place we might not have signed De Vita. Where I disagree with you (and others, evidently) is whether his performances were good enough to deserve more games than he got. I wasn't a fan and wouldn't have put him in ahead of Gomis, Miller, Connolly or Longridge. You and others probably would have. Fair enough. All about opinions and there's no right or wrong answer. But as soon as a player says he wants to leave I'd jettison them as soon as possible. If they're not committed to the club then get them out of it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
