Gigolo-Aunt Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Would not be the first time in football that a player is left out as he has no intention of staying past his contract. Zali had a very decent game today IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Gosling Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Bollocks. Tall has barely played in months. It was the right choice (fitness wise). Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigolo-Aunt Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Centre Half ma erse:mad: What did he do wrong today ?? Zali is a decent CH who suffered from thinking he was a better player than he was.

portobellojambo1 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Anybody think that Romanov still has a major say in picking the team ? Zalukas picked ahead of Tall It was mentioned in the area I sit that today's team had a distinctly Romanov look about it. If Karipidis was indeed injured today, and Tall is still carrying an injury I would have preferred to have seen one of the youngsters in. Maybe I viewed the game differently to others but I thought Zaliukas had an absolute stinker, another referee could have given a penalty when he clearly pushed a Falkirk player into the hordings second half (also not sure if it was he or Berra who was last man in the first half incident either, when we got an offside decision in our favour where the Falkirk player was onside and was brought down by the last man, who should have been sent off). Add to that some shocking passes, poor heading and marking and his tendency to try and hide up Berra's ass, p i s s poor, was glad to read on another thread that he could be about to leave the club (oh those that said he was better than Webster or Pressley, in fact better than the two of them combined, Lithuania's answer to Bobby Moore, in truth he is **** hopeless).

Ryan Gosling Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 If Romanov was indeed still picking the team, why the hell is Calum Elliot playing every week and why is Beniusis gone? i don't think he's picked the team since the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. The ability to make a pass to a player on the same team has always been quite important in my book. Horrendous performance today along with ksanavicious.

cosanostra Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I don't see any evidence at all that Vlad picked the team. Just people thinking about things too much in the wake of a bad result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Busby ! Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I don't think VR picks the team, but I don't think he has to any more. Frail is 80% in sync with VR's thinking by the look of it in terms of selection, tactics and his "shrug of the shoulders" type response to things not going well. Actually, who picks the team is basically irrelevant now it seems to me. It's no longer about the team , the quality of the squad, winning games, doing well, entertainment.... None of these things matter anymore. What does matter on recent evidence is player monopoly and trying to capitalise on the handful of players who can bring in transfer money to Vlad/UBIG. In a perverse way, VR not picking the team anymore is a sign of his complete loss of interest in that side of things...and perhaps therefore a harbinger of an even greater loss of interest in the club as a whole.

Ryan Gosling Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Bizarrely only one Lithuanian has been starting recently - Cesnauskis, and then Miko. Miko earned his place on merit, both played because of injury to Driver.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ, Lee Wallace was the "last man" who hacked down the thankfully offside Barrett. Didn't think Zaliclueless was THAT bad but so many of our players had stinkers today that's not saying a lot.

rossthejambo Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 considering tall is just back from an injury why would you put him straight into the first team when zali is clearly fit? cesny played in place of driver and miko is there on merit IMO. IMO vlad isnt picking the team or having any input on the team at all. i just think that frail isnt good enough at the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigaro Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I questioned the Zal inclusion at first, because I didnt know Karapidis was injured. And tbh I thought Tall was Goncalves until I got home! Fair call IMO. To suggest it is evidence of Vlad picking the team is nonsense. Also the inclusion of Larry today seems to have proved a few wrong...

portobellojambo1 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 PJ, Lee Wallace was the "last man" who hacked down the thankfully offside Barrett. Since I thought the defender was either Berra or Zaliukas and the forward looked onside I think it might be time to include my specs amongst those things I pack into my pockets before heading to the game (although not sure if a clearer view of what is going on is necessarily a good thing at this point in time !!!).

I just thought it was a pointless sub, they were on the ropes at that point and bringing on someone just let them regroup and get back into the match. That's how I saw it I see what you're saying, but subbing a guy who has been out for so long when he is injured is necessary. Larry was booted at every opportunity by Falkirk, and tbh I'm amazed he lasted as long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
