ca_gere Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Sad news indeed. Was looking forward to him coming back. In between injuries he looked shit hot. He'll always have that overhead aginast Man Utd.Still, there's talk of him sueing SWP and Chelsea so best retirement of the year still goes to Kennedy.

jon Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I don't know what it was called in the city but in the Broch it was called limmies. (Basically, x amount of players vs 1 keeper) - in the first round you had to score one goal to qualify, the last person to score was out. Second round, two goals, third round, three goals etc. I was always shit at it.If no-one has mentioned five and a boot yet (I've not checked back), then let the record show it is the king of all violence based headers and volleys games.

Scorge Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Airdrie away tomorrow. Don't really fancy going down to that utter craphole, so Links Park for some Emmerdale Farm XI baiting (shame there's no Lee Hoolickan this time though, gah).

Soda Jerk Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Shame about Ashton. He was quality. That overhead kick against United was superb too. From the TV coverage, it sounded like everyone at Old Trafford applauded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Class. Holding off Rio like that and pulling it off without it being dangerous play. For a while he was one of the best finishers in the Prem. No pace though.In other news, I see Duff has gone to ICT.

Alphas Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Fantastic finish. Read a quote from him this morning saying walking is even a problem and he may struggle to run again. All that at 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Ashton could've been a brilliant player. In terms of playing style, he was the closest thing that England have had to Alan Shearer for ages, and while he would never have been as versatile as Al was circa 1995-97 he could still have developed into an absolute beast. I always thought he'd wind up playing for us at some point, too.Surely he'd be going to the World Cup, too. By now I reckon he'd have blossomed into a better player than Heskey and Crouch. Him and Rooney up front would've been dynamite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I think if Ashton had been fit all this time, there probably wouldn't be as much hype surrounding Carlton Cole either, as he would have been stuck in Ashton's shadow the whole time. He just seems to have everything Cole had, and a bit more. Lacked pace, but he could really bully a centre back, and just seemed to be a right place-right time kind of player. He reminded me of a combo of Alan Shearers more direct kind of play, mixed with Ruud Van Nistelrooy's reading of situations, always knowing where to be.I don't know who Wednesday have got this weekend. I don't even care. Football is shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 We've got Barnsley away. Apparently we've sold 7,500 away tickets, and their average attendance is 11,000, so there's a very real possibility that our fans could outnumber theirs. Brilliant. But we're still a bunch of deluded plebes who'd rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0, ken?They could burst our bubble today, to be honest. Someone's gotta do it. We're 8 matches undefeated and we've won 7 on the trot. Their players will be really up for it so I'd go with Shola and Carroll up front, despite Ranger's midweek goal and Lovenkrands' recent good form. Having two big men up top has served us well whenever they've played together, and we can always bring Nile or P-Love on later to switch things around.We've actually got quite a nice mix of strikers at the moment; I like them all, except Harewood. Carroll is an absolute brute of a target man who's awesome in the air and not too shit with his feet, Lovenkrands' pace is still incredible and he's a good poacher, Ranger is very good at recycling possession in the final third, and Shola is the best striker that Great Britain has ever produced.I don't know owt about Barnsley other than that Chris Morgan/Ian Hume thing, really. Are they shit? I hope they're shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossP Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Wasn't there, but all reports of Duff's performance have been positive so far. He played in centre midfield today and linked extremely well with the front line and wide men. I'd rather him playing in the middle ahead of Proctor or Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Brilliant game so far at OT. Owen coming on at half time for Giggs, let's see if there's another hat-trick coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given pelters to Esson, Byrne, Brewster, Duff and Phil McGuire when they were in Dons shirts... only for them all to sign for us soon after:down:In fairness Esson has been an incredible signing; he'll be snapped up by an SPL team soon. The least said about the rest the better...I fully expect us to sign the likes of Ricky Foster and Darren Mackie in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Folk on the Manchester forums were saying "well, there was 5 ingame substitutions and one time where a Villa player needed a bit of treatment. Should have at least been 6 minutes". Bloody hell. By that standard, any game with an actual significant stoppage should run on in to the 100's.5 or 6 subs and a bit of treatment happens in every game. Lunatics.Still, it was a frustrating game to watch. It just had the potential of so many goals. Villa left too many men back when they countered, when they could have banged in a few if they brought the midfield up, as they were sending Vidic up for every corner and free kick. United had no final ball, and when they did, Carrick ballooned it. And no one can link up with Rooney like Giggs can. Bringing him off at half time was stupid (considering how shite Park was/always is). Villa lined up like Rangers in Europe in the second half. Not nice to watch, but they were solid at the back.How about Everton yesterday? Saha is the king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
