glasgow sheep Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Last Season after 22 games (played everyone twice): Pos Team Pld GD Pts 1 Celtic 22 +24 53 2 Aberdeen 22 +9 37 3 Rangers 22 +12 36 4 Hearts 22 +9 34 5 Hibernian 22 +14 32 6 Kilmarnock 22 -5 30 7 Falkirk 22 -2 27 8 Dundee Utd 22 -10 27 9 Motherwell 22 -9 25 10 Inverness CT 22 -8 24 11 St. Mirren 22 -10 23 12 Dunfermline A 22 -24 14 League Cup: Knocked out 2nd round by Queens Park Scottish Cup: About to be knocked out 4-1 in a replay by Hibs Uefa Cup: Uefa what? This season: Pos Team Pl GD Pts 1 Rangers 19 +29 44 2 Celtic 20 +34 43 3 Motherwell 20 +5 35 4 Aberdeen 22 -1 33 5 Dundee Utd 22 +2 32 6 Falkirk 22 -1 32 7 Inverness CT 22 -4 31 8 Hibernian 21 +1 28 9 Kilmarnock 22 -9 22 10 St Mirren 20 -18 22 11 Hearts 22 -8 21 12 Gretna 20 -30 10 League Cup: Semi Final vs United in a few weeks Scottish Cup: Falkirk away next week UEFA Cup: Last 32....so far Added to that we have played 6 games in 16 days, with a hell of alot of injuries and half fit players, yet have still moved up the table. Ok we're nae world beaters at the moment but given the circumstances we are doing pretty well. Hibs are in free fall. Hearts are completely out of it, well will get injuries and suspensions before long and united are also on a poor run. We are playing just about as badly as we can, but are still picking up points and surely will improve as we get folk back from injury. Bring on 2008 Can't wait Quote
mizer Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Yes today was shite (one of the worst ever I have seen), don't try and paper over it Quote

El Padre™ Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Wasn't there but Radio Scotland were actually quite positive about it all, said it was quite a good game despite the scoreline. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Posted January 5, 2008 Wasn't there but Radio Scotland were actually quite positive about it all, said it was quite a good game despite the scoreline. 2nd half was pretty good entertainment. 1st half was them passing the ball sideways lots Quote
Goldie03 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 You have had the fortune of being unable to attend the last few games You are welcome to watch the girls to allow me to attend And anyway the radio said it was a great nil nil draw to watch Quote
Mackie's ace! Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 I bet it was a hell of a lot better than the 80 minutes of Villa v Man Utd I subjected myself too earlier. Granted, I missed the goals, but it was pish. Quote
mizer Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Wasn't there but Radio Scotland were actually quite positive about it all, said it was quite a good game despite the scoreline. BBC radio scotland commentators in crack smoking scandal? 2nd half was pretty good entertainment. 1st half was them passing the ball sideways lots 1st half playing a negative 4-5-1 with midfielders man marking. 2nd half the same until the sending off, then Falkirk were better until Langfeilds save. Then we tried to attack, but it was a shambles. Weather didnt help I must admit, I saw no entertainment in the 2nd half....it was infuriating. Quote
mizer Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Ten-man Falkirk dominated this Scottish Cup dress rehearsal Can you see what is wrong with the above sentence? I have had a sleep, I'm still grumpy Quote
El Padre™ Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Can you see what is wrong with the above sentence? I have had a sleep, I'm still grumpy Jimmy must go? Quote
mizer Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 His defensive tactics, and getting players to man mark the dangers of Falkirk players worked well Quote
Kowalski Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 I'm as pissed off as anyone that we couldn't beat 10 men, but the stats make it sound closer between the two teams than some are suggesting. Falkirk Aberdeen Goals : 0 0 Possession : 50% 50% Shots On Target : 6 4 Shots Off Target : 7 10 Corners : 3 4 Fouls : 11 14 Most Fouls : Riera (3) Miller (4) Yellow Cards : 1 4 Quote
Ajja Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Think the reason the radio was saying it was a good game was due to Falkirk being the new Brazil-1970-wank-a-thon contenders. Kept going on about them still taking the game to us despite being down to 10 men. Quote
CtS Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 GS, I'm with you pal. You could also add to the original post that we sold our best player for a million quid before the season started, yet we're still battling on in four competitions. I'm feckin proud to be a red, today and every day. Anyone else hear the radio commentry today? Bill Leckie is a disgrace. You could hear him willing Falkirk on to score (it sounded like he ejaculated all over Jim Duffy at one point in the second half when they got into our box), and his dislike for our heroes was clear. Fucking wankshaft. Quote
capitalsharpie Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Unsure what folk are griping about. 4th in league, shafted with injuries, but still grindng out points (celtic did that many, many gameas last season and plenty bbc wankpots were willing to verbally ejaculate over thier wonderfullness), still in Europe and both cups. Fighting each game against pish weather. This is the season to grind out results pure and simple as that. Fuck the doubters, no one rally remembers a pish or an even outstanding perforamnce in a league game come the end of the season. Me? Im always behind the team!!!! Quote
BigAl Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Why let the facts stand in the way of a good argument Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 We're 4 points worse off than last year. We're in 2 more cups than last year. Dear christ some folk really want to give themselves a fucking shake. Oh wait. JC is nae use in a staring contest. Quote
Drewsome Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Can't say I am dissatisfied. With the injuries we have, to be only 4 points off of last year in the league and to be in the knock out stage of UEFA is plenty well. Sure I'd like to see more out of the team but I'll take this. Quote
BrownyBrown Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 This season has been fantastic, the UEFA Cup run has gone well beyond my expectations and given me some memories that will last with me for years - and there is more to come with the Bayern games. We could well even be in a Cup final this year with a very good opportunity to raise some silverware for the first time in years. However, I feel that this season is going to be a very bittersweet one with the next few days events which might lead to drastic changes at Pittodrie. Its all hearsay at the moment but the signs are not good. I suppose that with the highs of European football we all have some harsh realities to live up to - be that the players, management, directors and fans. Quote
