Shaki Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Has anybody else lost all optimism for the new Season now Ando has gone?Not too despondent. Still going to buy a season ticket. Anderson will be missed but we'll still be decent. Diamond is a bit shit but I have some sort of affection for the lad. I look forward to him coming off the bench just to see what he's going to do. Fall on his ass? Break someone's ankle? Go on one of his mad surges up the right flank before falling on his ass or breaking someone's ankle?

Johnny Mac Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Craig Beattie had to be the worst player on that pitch!!Many candidates from that game!We got minced anyway didn't we? Can't remember... all I remember was it was a Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Many candidates from that game!We got minced anyway didn't we? Can't remember... all I remember was it was a Friday night.3-1 I think. Charlie Adam scored a pen late on? It was a bit of a lesson in football that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yeah, I had actually left by the time they scored the penalty. They did well to keep in to 3, we got a real doing, 2-0 down within 5 minutes or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 The only decent players that night were Scott Brown (only in 2nd half), Steven Whittaker and i think Naismith had a pretty good game too. Score was 3-1 (maybe 4-1?). It was the friday before the full team played against the Faroes at Parkhead (amazing weekend).I'm looking forward to the new season Mind you we haven't just lost our Captain and 1st choice center half..... wait a sec.... ?( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Has anybody else lost all optimism for the new Season now Ando has gone?Nope, can't wait. New faces and all that. Could end up being a very strong team. I do fear a little floundering around at the back until things settle down without Anderson though, eek... Thought Zander (or Plug from the Bash Street Kids as we call round here) was shaping up well toward the end of the season. Needs firm leadership on the field though.

Johnny Mac Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 That keeper from Hibs is woeful.Sure he made a couple of good saves, but he conceeds stupid goals and is a bit of a liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went down three years back, we lost James Grady (best striker) and David Rowson (best midfielder, could yet be coming back), and fell to bits the season after.

What a shit career (unless he's actually had a successful career in Europe that I've missed?). De Vries was a good keeper for Pars apart from that blunder that basically put the nail in the coffin if I remember right. I hate the close season when there's no Euro Champs or WC, reduced to talking about David Rowson and Dunfermline goalkeepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if that's not right, I did do some internet investigation but it seems naebody cares who David Rowson joined for pre-season......
