    That's true

    As sure as night follows day, whenever I praise a player they ALWAYS proceed to make a mistake. Which is why, as soon as I opened my big, fat gob on Saturday, my friends timed how long it would take for the inevitable to occur. As Jay quite rightly says, it was less than two minutes. Cue the abuse and mickey taking from all my friends.
    I'm ashamed of my actions.

    Oh absolutely, mate

    We're going to run around a lot, create nothing and fail to score.
    3-0 win now? :D

    I hope he had a **** in Dawson's kit bag during the second half.

    If Dawson hadn't been static like a rabbit in a poachers lamp, then O'Brien wouldn't have had to make the intervention in the first place.

    Spot on. We are having the wrong argument at the moment. Flitcroft, for whatever reason, prefers central midfielders that 'hold'. Unfortunately this does the opposite of what was intended and just allows the opposition to play in our half. I know younger supporters will be fed up of hearing it but Glavin was disastrous from a defensive perspective. But he remains a genuine hero to those of us privileged to see him. Difference was he played in a team set up to attack.

    I share the blame as I did exactly the same thing.

    ******* hell Jay

    First it's credit cards that people can't afford, encouraging debt, and now you pin the blame for our predicament and David Flitcroft's sacking squarely on the shoulders of one man.

    How can YOU sleep at night ?

    Jim turned a good piece of work, covering back and getting to the ball, into a disaster by trying to be cute with a back pass when a easy ball to Perkins was on.

    Mvoto, very much similar, went with his man pressuring him and winning the ball but then preceded to give it away.

    The good, the bad making it darn right ugly on both counts. Comedy of errors but not at all funny.

    Except for the guy playing alongside him. Ray McHale passed like a crab. It was always sideways but then again his job was to tee up Ronnie. :eek:

    And the other guys at the side of him were Ian Banks and Stewart Barraclough. McHale apparently used to tell Ronnie to leave the defending to him and to just go and get his win bonus for him.

    I don't understand how Cranie always gets away without criticism me. If he'd have been in line with the rest of the defence he might have blocked the shot. For some reason he was tracking Zigic way too deep.

    Flitcroft substituting him at half time was a disgrace, if he did that everytime Wiseman gifted the opposition a goal he'd never play more than 1 half of football. Taking off one of our most attacking players and leaving his best mate in midfield was a joke.
