    yer right ADS against the bigger teams aye, much improved mate, well the huns basically apart fae tims at hame when we were destroyed on the sunday we've also done great at scumtic park too. like you say though we cant do it against the others, we don't have that consistency and is very much the same as last season

    frustrating as f uck this season

It’s great having an organized defense and hats off to him for that but it needs more. He’s still learning so hopefully a change next season.
    futbah is a simple sport, 11 men trying to put a bah in a net, the newer managers would do well to remember that mate

    look at dick at arbroath would he be f ucking about with ipads etc, would he f uck

    Given you never went anyway, is this really such a big deal? 🙂

    There's was a funny post on Twitter the other day about a dad at his boy's match. U11 or something close. He was saying how much the premier League has an influence with young boys copying actions such as pointing to the heavens after a goal (even though all his family were still alive) or the covering mouths when speaking. Was pretty funny and made me hae a wee smirk. Unfortunately, we seem to have young managers in the same mindset!! Trying to copy Pep's style of playing it out or tippy tappy back passes etc etc. We're trying to do similar stuff with players that have about 10% of the talent. Madness, play to your strengths and keep it simple.

    With regards to the iPad/stats issue folk have. My daughter plays and uses a data logger to monitor her performance stats and it's been really useful to her personally to give an objective overview of her performance, from a fitness perspective. Obviously your fitness stats can be great even when you've had a nightmare but it's useful none the less.

    Most of the folk I sit next to have the same mindset, I often join them in pointing to the heavens when yer man announces McNulty is in the starting line up

    I doubt they knew what it really meant.

    In saying that, I was watching a game last week and the guy scored and did the old Bebeto baby cradle celebration. He defo knew what he was doing.

    Celtic boys, Lochee Park under 15's ............. (honest)
