    Harkes at Turnbulls goal, what exactly was he doing here?

    Is he the player on the right at the beginning of the clip, playing with his socks instead of tracking back to cover space?

    He's the guy that pulls off the move you'd expect to see on Dancing On Ice.

    Think it was Clark I was seeing. Was going to say the camera angle possibly makes him look closer to the 18 yard line than he was. Harkes must be the player who pirouettes the other way then!

    He gives too many fouls away to compensate for his lack of quality, gets booked far too often because of it. He's not been the standard we need this season although he got away with it last season. I'm willing to bet there isn't a holding midfield player in any of the 12 teams that loses possession more than he does. His job is to break up play with clean tackles and move the ball cleanly to one of our players and I'm not seeing that often enough from him. For reference see for example Gogic at Hibs


    Its not wrong but you are entitled to think it is that's why I'm agreeing to disagree with those who think not, I've witnessed him good enough in a Utd team in the top 3 and witnessed him in top form part season which he hasn't shown yet this term, it will come in sure

    MM hasn't got the best out of him so far but that's the case with quite a few players in the crap system we have been playing, if it gets us points to stay up then great but think we'd all prefer a run of games in a balanced system with four at the back

    Now with Fuchs and Butcher I feel less confident about the next month, including Saturday in sheep ville

    I'm the opposite, the next month should be a huge motivator for fringe players.
    After tomorrow we are playing 5 of the current bottom 6 if those that come in can't do the do and grab their chance then they never will.

    If it doesn't work out results wise, MM will then be able to force Ogren and Ashgar's hand

    According to Wiki Butcher played 21 games for us in his 1st stint, probably half of them in midfield so I don't know what you are basing your over hyped opinion of him on?

    A poor man's Jim Goodwin in my opinion and if Hearts offer 10 bob then we should bite their hands off.

    What exactly do you think he brings to our team to rate him so highly? He's a walking yellow card and nothing more.

    The bedsit's outside facility door has been working well since your repair mate,thanks again.I still don't think that Mrs Jones our neighbour has recovered from the door blowing open whilst i was in the middle of my ablutions though.
    I tried to explain it was a dodgy lock but she's no having it.
