Ended up 2-1 in the end. Particularly surprising as the evidence suggests many people in North Korea have chronic parasite problems due to the unsanitary conditions there. One of the more random things I've read on here lately, but I like it. I think we struggle to produce goalscorers due to a lack of iron in the diet of Scottish mothers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet I often I read on line of folks saying how quickly they got away. Back in the house for half ten etc .. Is it cathcart road, over prospecthill, then onto the motorway at Polmadie? Even at normal times that's brutal. There's lots of other ways you can go to avoid it. Where do you normally park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like his transfer fee is being looked at rather than his achievements. It’s mostly based on being able to observe the staggeringly obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Re the Patterson, Ralston, SOD debate.There's no need to slate any of them.They're all slightly different and offer different options to the team, which is a good thing.Ralston has obviously had a great season and despite antics with Neymar a few years ago, seems to have a relatively sensible head on him.Patterson is obviously good in an attacking sense, getting us up the pitch and has bags of enery. SOD if you give him a job to keep tabs on a player (Eg Grealish, Alaba) he will be fine as has been so far.I'd argue you can use them 'Horses for courses' depending on the game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Ralston had a nice game, and he showed you pretty much everything he is as a player, both good and bad. pros: takes up good positions, is athletic and willing and has now learned how to use that cons: he has absolutely no crossing ability whatsoever He’s earned a shot to get minutes against a better team to show what he can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like O’Donnell is probably done now. With three different young players have been preferred to him in recent games, it’s hard to see him getting the job back.

KnightswoodBear Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I thought the back 3 of Souttar/Hendry/McKenna looked pretty solid last night, albeit against absolute dross. Other than Hendry (i think) selling Souttar short with a pass in the first half, I don't remember them putting a foot wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Ralston was fine. Patterson has more going forward which is valuable in a side which struggles to create but they are both good options and Ramsay and maybe even Ashby will be in the mix going forward. It shouldn't be a problem position any more, Clarke fucked up against Ukraine. The real problem is our attack with neither Adams or Dykes having real quality and McGinn either scoring or contributing nothing from the attacking midfield role. I often feel that when subs are made late in this type of game it's because the manager doesn't want a selection problem caused by the likes of Brown, Stewart (or Turnbull) coming on and doing well. By only giving them a few minutes no one can criticise Clarke for picking Adams again in the next fixture despite his lack of form.

Virtual Insanity Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 We never have any issue getting away towards the city centre post match, parking around Cathkin/Holyrood, might be better going that way then doubling back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams and McGinn are out of form and Clarke but Clarke is determined not to create any other options.

craigkillie Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Clarke does not give a tiny f**k about "calls" for anything. He kept Adams on in the hope he would get a goal because he will be starting the next two games on account of being miles better than the other available strikers. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone criticising him for playing Adams is an utter moron. For the past twenty years or more, we've had people saying, "<x> is never good enough to play for Scotland, get him tae f**k". Completely missing the point that they're one of the best players we have available in that position. You get the impression some folk think Vogts/Smith/McLeish/Burley/Levein/Strachan/Clarke have some Law and Dalglish regens stuffed down their drawers and just don't want to share with the class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is getting better at crosses although he often crosses at the same pace at a shot which can be frustrating. I think he got in to nearly double figures for assists this season but a lot of them were charging in to the box and sucking a few players in before laying off the ball.

He didn't score against Moldova, Denmark or Poland yet was our best player in the first two and good in the third. Even last night, when he was nowhere near his best, his inswinging passes over to the left were a regular threat, plus he's our best set-piece taker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to do that again next game. I normally parked near Queens Park Bowling club and head up through the city to the M8.This time I had parked in Allison Street thinking that it was nearer the M74 junction. I didn’t get onto the M74 till near 11pm. Lesson learned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past two games he hasn't done much other than shoot poorly and looks unfit and a bit too heavy. Ukraine were taking our whole midfield out the game with a few passes because McGinn and Gilmour were miles off it. He still deserves a start but last night was an opportunity to see if other attacking options could step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
