Sorry TheDeeDon ... Ah wholeheartedly disagree. re 'players taking the piss' ... This latest game, they looked slow as fúck ... to every second/loose ball ... but it was cos Killie were quicker. The reason? Killie play a 4-4-2 .... and know the system. We played 4-4-2 for the second time since me my fkn kids were still kids ... first time was just two three weeks ago ... and it got changed cos we were sh!te at it.
Ye know, it doesna sound like a big deal askin a player tae play a different role/position ... it's jist fitba ffs .. but hey, Ah dinna ken fit ye dae for a livin, but ... Ah used tae dae social care ... and Ah canna imagine goin intae work and sayin ... 'hey ... Ah ken yer here as a voluntary befriender, but, hows about you writin up the petty cash, while Ah tak Sandy oot tae Stoney in the car? hey ... ye canna dae accounts, an Ah dinna hae a drivin licence, but **** it ... we're aa on the same team, aye?'
Nooadays? Ah mak ma livin playin in a ceilidh band .... and occasionally wi ma punk band ....
"Hey Charlie min ... Ah've left ma bouzouki at hame ... and Ah've dragged ma auld electric guitar along ... fit aboot you play the guitar an' Ah hae a funny shotty wi yer accordian?"
Aye, extremes, Ah ken .... but in fitba? Fine margins. Ye can hae the worlds best winger ... but, well .. let's say ... ye can tak the man oot o' the wing, but ye canna tak wing oot o' the man ... basically ye might as well chap the guys balls aff.
Robbo continued the fkn 'see fit happens' stuff re. players fillin in for roles they didna want or werena best suited for ... which started wi McInnes, or maybe afore? ... 'Hey , ken fit? if we sign a hillock o' utility players, it'll be like playin chess wi better pawns'
Aye .... except if ye hae a team o' fkn rooks fa can only move up doon an across, or bishops fa can only move diagonally ... or mair tae the point ... knights ... fa can only rin doon the wing so far - afore they either need tae move sidewyes ... like aff the pitch or cut inside and get the fkn baa taen aff them.
Noo ... if we had the money tae buy a team o' queens? ... Ah'm only sayin that cos Ah'm missin Donsdaft ... and Ah'm amused by the thought o' him respondin ... even though Ah've nae fathomed fit words hae would string tigither![]()
... Ok ... Ah'm finished haein a fun noo. .. so
Ah dinna care how mony games Warnock has managed .... he has managed ... 5? here, and we hivna won a single game. A traffic cone would hae won at least one ... and that traffic cones twin brither would hae saved baith recent hun goals ... wi nae hands!
Ah ken Ah'm bein silly, but fan yer livin in 'ye couldna mak this sh!t up' land, then ony sh!t ye mak up maks better sense
But ... gettin back tae yer 'players takin the piss' comment.
Ah've said enough aboot change o' position/role .... except ... Ah hivna. Cos there's the mental factor. Ah proposed the idiotic idea o' Charlie Abel, ace Accordian player, swappin instruments wi ma ... it scares ma even tae think aboot it ... but .......
If Ah wis tae be playin in ma punk band, and Ah swapped wi either ma rhythm guitarist, bassist, or electric mando guy, Ah wid get on fine .... two o' those guys are better on lead guitar than I am onywye ... but .... as accomplished and multi-talented (or at worst 'bi-talented') as we all are .... it would all go tae sh!t!
Or ... as a punk band, we were charged with doing a country western gig, .... fk ... on paper? a caker ... Step 1. give our drummer some 'downer' drugs and a pair of cardboard drumsticks. replace our electric guitars and mando with a acoustic instruments .. sack our singer ... before he say's 'fʊck this - Ah'm oot o' here' ... and we we can do this .... we can play that formation .... but ... we will be fkn sh!t!
Ah think by now Ah've made ma point ... if ye dinna get it ... yev missed it .. but it's there![]()
