strachanmcgheegoal Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 BBC sportscene tonight then presumably online after that. They won’t put it online beforehand in case staying in and watching that in the warmth puts you off going and watching your big team beat Cowdenbeath. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Are there any highlights online for the game?Would have thought the BBC would have them by now. Sportscene tonight. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Aye 12 mins of highlights on RedTV international. Some observations based on those 12 mins: Scott Wright looked extremely effective. Defending was woeful though, defenders backing off and giving him plenty of space. Scott doesn't like it when he gets an elbow or a knee from a defender - he'll shy away if the opponents get physical. You can nullify Wright by roughing him up early doors, Stenny obviously hadn't done their homework. Which isn't surprising, given that they're a part-time team, with few resources. Stewart also looked bright... silky turn and dinked finished for his goal. From 12 minutes of highlights, Stenny probably played more football and created more chances than they did on Saturday!! Our defence caught sleeping a few times... Link to comment
TheRock Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Wright was getting pelters from the section I was in. Losses of possession was greeted with 'what a surprise' and the like and when he was substituted someone shouted that he was a disgrace to the club (although a few people shouted praise in response) I dunno. The Patrick hat trick seems like a long time ago now. Not a fan of abusing young players who are giving 100% though. Link to comment

If so, very bizarre that he was getting abused. Link to comment

NEM Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Did he play as well as the highlights suggest? If so, very bizarre that he was getting abused. Didn't start well but switched wings and then had a great 20 minute period. Quite poor second half but certainly not deserving of the abuse he got. Link to comment
craegDAMH Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 He always seems to get a disproportionate amount of abuse which is bizarre for a young, homegrown player. 2 Link to comment
Mr John Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 This is the career he chose, so he either deals with it or moves on. What I'm saying is a change of mentality in one person is easier than a wholesale culture change. Football crowds are mong central. 1 Link to comment
TheRock Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Is there a suggestion he isn't dealing with it? Link to comment
Parklife Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I didn't hear anyone abusing Wright. Link to comment

Our defence caught sleeping a few times...Wright only looks good against shite.That hat trick against Partick in a dead rubber of a game just gave a false impression of him.He's of no use to us against better teams and is as you alude to a pussy when up against physicality. I hope nobody is fooled by Wright's showing last night.He's pish. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 He always seems to get a disproportionate amount of abuse which is bizarre for a young, homegrown player.Just because he's home grown shouldn't exclude hom from criticism. I never heard any abuse aimed at him last night but i wasn't fooled by a decent showing from hom against shite like Stenhousemuir. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 There were some absolute wallopers in the away end last nightCertainly was. Pissed up young loons. Link to comment

I never heard any abuse aimed at him last night but i wasn't fooled by a decent showing from hom against shite like Stenhousemuir. I never said he should be exempt from abuse. I said it is generally disproportionate to his performances, which given he is young and "one of our own" seems strange. Link to comment
Mr John Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Is there a suggestion he isn't dealing with it?Someone above suggested he doesn't respond well to early roughing up. I'm reading a good book on modern football, via interviews with current players and managers, they all agree that success is largely psychological.

Reed or deed Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Job done, but McKenna has been guilty of a few howlers lately. Matrass remains dry, but still a slight worry. Never saw it, but fine-n-dandy, who I always trust , had some harsh words for him after their goal.Ah right, so you didn't even see it and were passing comment? Doesn't do your credibility any good that. And you're speaking about McKenna to his detriment, based on observation and comments from Fine n Dandy? Fuck me. Link to comment
Reed or deed Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Who the fuck is Stevie May?Do a goal you useless bastard.Haha. This made me laugh. +1 min. Link to comment

elephantstone78 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 There were some absolute wallopers in the away end last nightMy favourite was the superfan that kept loudly wishing shay Logan a happy birthday every time he went to take a throw in in his vicinity. Must have said it half a dozen times, probably want shay to stop what he was doing and tell him what presents he got. Shinnie shouldn’t take corners, shit at them. Didn’t hear anyone giving him pelters though, just the odd groan 1 Link to comment
