I’d sign Scottish players as a last resort, bring though our own and sign foreigners is the way to go. I know the Hartley thing didn’t work - but the idea was correct, the execution was utter mince. With a few exceptions - Players from the bottom six SPL to top of div1 are very similar in ability. How many great players don't make it now due to not getting the chance to create you own wee range of tricks and skills. Used to be playground football, mates playing 3 and in, schools then picked up by the juniors or if lucky a pro club. 1st team football at 16-17 them move onto a higher level in early 20's with 3 - 4 years experience. Would Jim Baxter make it now - Naw no chance one footed, no pace, cant tackle, weak in the air. It is no coincidence that the decine in quality started 12 -15 years after league reconstruction and that progression was lost. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFalkirkBairnB Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Didn’t want to comment on the Clyde penalty until I had seen the highlights, never a penalty in a million years, for what it’s worth I think Hetherington has become the whipping boy. Been no worse than many others in recent weeks but seems to be the easy target becomes he’s been giving the armband. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 That's a shocking decision. How much do appeals cost again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syd Puddefoot Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Reasonable performance as was last week, a bit of improvement. Only hope it can give them confidence and take chances. We have to remember the standard of opposition., we have got most our points from teams in lower half of league. We simply have to start beating teams in top half if we're serious about gaining promotion. McCanns best game, Telfer good also. Never ever a pk and we should appeal no matter what it costs, BOD can pay out of own pockets, they're due us. Thought Clyde were decent for the 5 minutes that there was no ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, lets show 30 seconds of nothing on a replay, as embarrassing for us as it was for Clyde, but not a surprise we do this crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I know a lot won’t agree but I can see why Sheerin picks Hetherington, especially over Arnaldo. Hetherington covers a lot of ground and when a team breaks you tend to find he is there to cover, whereas, from what I’ve seen of Arnaldo, he doesn’t look very mobile at all. I’m not saying there isn’t better out there for that position but from a defensive point of view, Hetherington does his job. He should be getting the ball and moving it onto the likes of Telfer straight away though as he is limited when trying to pass forward. I may eat my words next week but I think we may be in for a shock, especially if he plays Arnaldo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I think Hetherington will get that red rescinded but I’d like to see Ernaldo get a chance anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieBairn Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Thought Krasniqi looked sharp when he came on. Dont know whats wrong with McDaid but he look absolutely rank even against Clydes mingin defenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it will be appealed. Up until the penalty it was almost as if we were too comfortable. McDaid was still the worst player on the park. Absolutely dreadful. It's easy Street against Clyde's midfield though. Christ we pumped 3 past them before even though we're murder. Hetherington disappears against the good midfields in the league just as we saw against Airdrie a few weeks back. That entail means telfer doesn't have the space and he disappears too. Last time we played alloa they were bullied out of the game so no rush to get Hetherington back that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out run, out fought and spends his time when he actually has the ball giving it away. Easy to look good against that Clyde midfield but when you are captain you have to stand out when the other team is doing the business. Hetherington disappears when the going gets tough and that ain't captain material. We managed to beat Clyde three nil without him the last time so no surprise we managed when he went off yesterday.
