Gregory House M.D. Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Don't worry dearest, you couldn't wobble me with a wobbling stick. Fact remains you come out with continual "so and so is shite" and show absolutely no knowledge or insight to back it up. For example when we played Aberdeen in August, Fyvie was probably the best player on the park. He's skillful, itelligent and tenacious. I'm not actually touting him to play in the 1st team - not sure he's even played 21s yet, think he's still only 18 maybe. He was just an example of a good young player who has probably 50 SPL games under his belt who would maybe be helped by a bit of a look at the standard he needs to reach and surpass. So there you go, or would you rather I just posted an amusing picture in the place of reasoned debate? Milsom was far better. Fyvie was shite in August. In fact, the only time I've seen Fyvie play well was when Aberdeen beat us 3-0 at Tynie. Nothings stood out about him for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Loblaw Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Oh and saying Fyvie is poor is just stupid. The boy's only 18 years old, and is head and shoulders above the rest of the Aberdeen midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I duno how you do it but each and every passing day you come out with a post that just puts you even higher up the "Shite Poster" table. Can only give you praise for your commitment to the cause. 100% this - total welt. What ever happened to the ignore option? Back on topic, Ross McCormack must feel pretty hard done by not even making the squad with the likes of Stevenson in there. What's the script with Fletcher these days? He's a complete tosser for the way he chucked it during the last campaign but he's on course to hit double figures in the prem for the third year running, a feat the likes of Miller, Mackie or M-Smith would struggle to match IMO. According to interviews by either party he claims he is available for selection and Levein says he'd be happy to take him back. How hard would it be for CL to pick up the phone and say 'lets cut to the chase, do you want to play or not' instead of all this tittle tattle bullshit in the press. A new campaign with a fresh start and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Aye, but when Levein says he won't pick McFadden beacuse he's been out injured a long time,then it reeks of double standards. And although technically an EPL player, Mackie has never played at that level before this season. And further to that, how many games has he started this season? Has Faddy been getting a game at Everton? Genuine question, not been keeping tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC_Trotski Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Regarding Fletcher. I remember reading that CL said that Fletcher knows what to do to get picked again. He text the SFA to say he was unavailable and only said through the media he was now open to playing for Scotland. CL is waiting for him to get in touch with the SFA to make it official. Petty from both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Loblaw Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Has Faddy been getting a game at Everton? Genuine question, not been keeping tabs. Just back from injury, but came on against Newcastle at the weekend and has been fully training for weeks. I'm not even saying he should be involved btw, just that his situation is almost idenctical to Mackies with the exception that McFadden has played and performed at a much higher level, yet Mackie gets picked. the main difference is that Mackie is more of a 'worker' which is obviously why Levein likes him. His whole tenure has been riddled with instances of double standards. Everyone deserves a second chance with regards to Ferguson, McGregor and Boyd but he won't bury the hatchet with Fletcher who would be more valuable than all of them. Kris Commons and Lee Wallace hadn't hit the ground running well enough and made enough starts to make the squad against the Czech's, yet Hutton and Wilson were involved. He can't call up O'Connor because he's got charges over his head, yet calls up Goodwillie who has another assauklt case coming up. He pretends he has a code he works by, yet that clearly only applies to players he favours. If he just straight up said, 'I like this type of player', it would be fine, but as it stands he's too much of a hypocrite IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Loving the armchair managers on here. chaise longue thank you doctor. Looks like Mackie has been back or certainly had more minutes on the park than Faddy. Has looked good from what I've seen of him since his return too. Be very interesting to see if Faddy plays when he's fully back. Was scapegoated a bit by Levein imo when infact Levein's tactics against lesser teams was the real issue. I do think we're improving and, from really disliking what Levein was doing, I'm coming round a little. FOr years we've needed Scotland to do what we do against the big teams but have the confidence to go out and play and try to dictate against teams from pot 2 downwards. This, imo, will be the making or breaking of Levein or any other Scotland manager - the set-up and attitude against the Belgiums, Czechs and Norways and the Lithuanias, Estonias and Cypruses. He's failed in that respect so far, but I think he's realised that to an extent. I'm assuming 7 subs (to be selected from whole squad) allowed this evening? I think there was a cap put on the number of subs allowed to be made in international friendlies.... or have a i made that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Read in the Metro this morning that CL wants the win. He might play with 2 up top in the second half but the win is the most important thing. With friendlies counting towards FIFA ranking (farce if you ask me) then I suppose he's got a point. The better the ranking the better the pot you go into for future draws. Would prefer to see an experimental side out there as it's months til the next competitive game, but with ranking points at stake can understand CL going for the win. What was the thinking behind the Brazil friendly then? What good did that do, getting a hiding? As far as I'm aware because of that loss we dropped down a pot* and paid the Brazilian FA for the privelage. *Can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diadora Van Basten Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 That midfield does not fill me with confidence neither does Miller as lone striker. I think Adams, Dorrans, Goodwillie, McCormarck, Hutton and Snodgrass would improve that team. Also tin hat on but what is Stevenson doing there? He doesn't even have a settled position at the moment.

skene11 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Another feckin 5 man midfield!! It's a friendly, a time to experiment, how does he know how this team would play as a 4-4-2? He's an absolute clown. It's all about his favourites too - Robson, Cowie etc. They're both average and we have much better sitting on the bench.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Snodgrass and Dorrans pulled out with injuries. With FIFA rankings being used for qualifying group seedings we need to win every game. "Its only a friendly" - there's no such thing any more. Robson might be 33 but he's playing for a team third in The Championship. This league is streets ahead of the SPL now. If we're more likely to win with him in the team he should play.

That's Levein for you, he's shit scared of losing so he will always play what he considers the safe option until we go a goal behind then he might change it but usually once it's too late. I'm afraid he's another in the mould of Paw Broon where his personal record of results seems to be more important than progressing the team.

That is a myth that's banded about on here too often, along with saying '4-4-2 will mean we score more goals'. Considering the opposition, it is definitely negative. It means we are playing an extra midfielder against a poor team instead of another striker - that's negative in my eyes. I'm not saying 4-4-2 will make us magically score more goals, but with two strikers on the park it obviously gives us a better chance. Surely if you were in charge in a friendly match you wouldn't be playing the same team/formation that has been struggling through games a couple of months prior? I really don't get Levein.
