Darlo Uncovered

airey & macdonald for me - as there was the usual zero optimism / expectation prior to their great season in 84 / 85. then Currie & Macdonald - and basically you could pick a whole bunch of games where Currie scored a beauty. Cork and Borthwick had a similar impact in that we didn't know what to exp...

interesting misuse of the word there bigtim!

I think your / you're / yore doing it on purpose now

And what's the bets we change the team / formation for the next game?

Again going back to 85 and 90 / 91 our team played one way all season whilst opposition teams worried and changed their style to try beat us...

Totally agree re your point about encouraging a strike partnerships. The obvious one (if pos) would be hatch n senior. But when we've done well it's been airey & macdonald, currie n macdonald, cork n borthwick, gabbers n duffield etc. So it'd be good to try and have a stable front 2. Actually - it'd...

Dead right. Great eye for a player but negated by playing decent players out of position - very very odd.
The experiment with Gillespie - fair enough - but only worth a gamble to throw onto the pitch with 20 mins left and 2-0 up. Not throwing him into a winning team and disrupting things.

I disagree darlofan97. But had you said it would have been a sending off if the ref saw it I might be with you on that.

Bigtim - dead right about getting a goalscorer who can do it all themselves. I think in all our best seasons we've had one of those: gabbiadini currie cork walsh but - said players are often rough diamonds and appear once in a blue moon. Quiteoften they're cast offs who by some miracle transform ove...

Even better - i've done one of those 'holy grail' double posts!

I feel like I should somehow delete one or both of them and post a further mysterious message saying 'double post'

instead I'll just say could of.

Or should of

What channel is the game being shown off of?

Thick fuckker

indeed mr mullet69. I wonder if - to paraphrase Viz - bigtim has ever been bitten off of an otter?!

His 1st game was Versus Wrexham which was on the 20th, November and now its the 21st of December so therefore his 1 month deal is up. It will be interesting if Cooper offers him a deal however some of his performances have been dissapointing if i'm honest. I'd rather see Chandler play than Gillespi...

I'm not sure how signing more midfielders and average / journeymen players will help though?

I know its one thing persuading quality players to drop down, but what good will signing another keith gillespie do?

don't worry jjmick - my reply wasn't aimed at you - more bigtim who is either 8 years old, has a condition, or is dreadful at spelling and grammar. its highly noticeable how many people write could 'of' / should 'of' etc instead of should have, could have. (Viz have spent the last couple of years ta...

but boorman - how many of my targeted posters would spot the grammer spelling mistake? Whereas could of etc - far worse!!!

Well we have have had a 'worst messageboard member' which is essentially the same thing except the title actaully made sense. Whereas this title... whereas this title aimed to highlight (yet again) the terrible use of grammer by some posters on here. Honestly, do schools not teach kids how to write...

Dave Booth surely has to be up there. Not an unpleasant bloke but he brought in some dross to secure delegation!

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

There's 3 possible reasons for hughton getting the sack: 1. He wanted too much money for his new contract 2. "Newcastle" are bonkers and they feel they should have a big name manager in charge 3. Something else - probably financially / legally that's behind the decision my money is on number 3 ashle...

Absolutely spot on divas. Singh has given the funds to bring in players like senior, hatch, MBW etc - so this is all about making these players deliver the goods. Even cooper knows the answer from the good mini run we had. I'm a big believer in sticking to a winning formula and letting the oppositio...

I don't understand the clamour for a 20 goal a season striker. Even if we got one they'd end up not scoring - a la hatch and senior? What we need is a miracle and unearth a gabbers / dave currie on the cheap. Someone who needs no service, can jink past 3 - 4 players and ping the ball into the net fr...

My answers: 1. Thought Reynolds was a saviour. In fact he did ensure we could carry on in an uncertain time - and initially put his own money into building an exciting team 2. Nobody, but nobody, believed the premiership thing - even if he'd said 10 years! 3. Training ground bust ups? - the beginnin...

Chuffing nora - what a fuss about a minor fixture.

Some people are slipping back into malaise mode!!

So on the subject of mental blocks, maybe £15 is the ceiling price?? Possibly experimenting
at this price (over a short term period) would be interesting.

Peoples front of Judea...? Splitters!!!

I was swayed to the Jambos thanks to my brother in law

having been to my first away derby at Fester Rd a couple of weeks ago I can't believe the coppers allowed an edinburgh derby to kick off at 8pm! what kind of state were people in after being on it all day?!

I'm Brian and so's my wife!

sorry - couldn't resist.

Sadly q4life, what with the appaulling, gramma and spelling off of on this messageboard one cannot always comprehend what some people are trying to convey on here!

Spot on - as a new Hearts season ticket holder I can tell you that the vast majority of all fans up here roll there eyes when the old firm (and hearts and hibs) start fannying about with the religious / British / non British rubbish. Celtic's minority is just a tad bigger, hence more vocal. I do won...

Might've got the wrong lad but hopefully the message got home. Too many kids think they're not above getting a clout to let them know what's right or wrong.
