He was Downfield manager in the summer after retiring, left nearly immediately to come out of retirement to play for Edinburgh City, and now back at Downfield as just a player. Fascinating stuff, to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the bowling green across the road from the ground will be busy. Had a pint there last time I visited. Ground is only on one side so it’ll be all ticket! Peaso with 2, Gavin Rae and Ryan Conroy scored the goals in the 4-1 win last time I was there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 McPake loves trying to butter up the fans: “We need the same energy levels and when the atmosphere isn’t created by the fans we need to get the fans going because when they get behind us, trust me, this is a tough place to come. “Motherwell found that out on Saturday and, speaking to a few Motherwell players, they mentioned that It was like a morgue other than a few bursts of singing throughout the match due to everyone freezing their arses off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Has there been any game this season where we’ve had our strongest XI? It seems every week we have 3 or 4 players missing and they seem to get injured easily. Is this something to do with training on plastic? Or are they not conditioned properly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 McPake talking about how he knew almost that Ashcroft was headed for disaster. Said he'd prepared Fontaine to come on as Ashcroft's hamstring had tightened, but the incident where a 'rapid' Motherwell player broke free, but Ashcroft done well to recover. McPake says he remembers thinking, 'Just sit down. Even if it meant let them go and score cause they weren't getting back into the game. We were solid enough, we knew that, that's rich coming from when we were 12 minutes up against Dunfermline, but it's a different group now and if we'd got him off, it'd have only been a minor injury, but big Ash, being big Ash, desperate to keep the clean sheet opens up and feels the hamstring go.' Sounds like it could be a season ender. McPake goes on to say, 'We'll know more tomorrow, but we're not expecting particularly good news to be honest.' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) I reckon with Max doing well in midfield and Ashcroft potentially being out, that when McGhee comes back for the big game in Dingwall he'll be back playing at CB for the time being so long as we don't get even more midfield injuries. Edit - hadn't watched the pre-match press conference, McPake essentially saying the same. Will also step up search for RCB replacement.

The Derry Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I fucking hate playing St Johnstone. How their inbred fans find any joy watching their inbred team play in a soulless ugly stadium and watching their inbred defenders punt the ball 400 yards 800 million times a game. No sane human being could watch that happily. Seething I have to be put through it tonight. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
