Tekel Towers » Any pass marks this season?

It’s been a brutal season, no doubt, but would you give anyone pass marks? ... if it’s in the context of having to play week in week out with under performing team mates I’d say yes to Sam Stanton and maybe big Durnan.

Feel sorry Stanton hasn’t had the likes of Fyvie and Fraser to play alongside for most of the season, but have felt he’s always given 100%.

JerryDungle · 11/4/2018 11:08 pm

Stanton’s Telfer 2.0 for me. Tidy enough and with a decent eye for a pass, but is too lightweight and hides when things get physical.

Durnan’s hopeless, always has been, always will be. He’s been the one constant in a defence that has shipped goals at an alarming rate for the past 3 years now. That’s not a coincidence. I’ve never seen a defender let the ball bounce as much as Mark Durnan. Some people are tricked into giving him pass marks because he makes the odd goal line clearance or last ditch tackle and because he was the better half of the twa D’s. But make no mistake, he’s deceptively shite, and for me, we can’t get rid of him fast enough.

I give Fyvie, Mohsni, Fraser and potentially Ralston pass marks, the rest I’d chase out the door tomorrow if I could.

Probably just those two for me too.

Mohsni has so far been excellent though and may still win our poty in fact.

Stanton has been good in some games, anonymous in others. He strikes me as the sort of player who would be excellent in a team like we had 3/4 years ago when we were playing really good attacking football, but can struggle when it's a dog-fight.

Moshni has certainly been very good overall in his 4 or 5 games so far, has certainly proved me wrong as I thought he would be a total donkey.

Pass marks: albeit some played few gems

Fyvie was going to be huge for us and would be interesting to see where we would be with him in the team
Fraser is brilliant been out injured like fyvie but still be excellent imo
Stanton I like stanton runs runs and runs, for me should add more goals but tbh I don’t think he’d be at us if he did score goals
Mcdonald may surprise a few but I don’t thinks he’s been that bad, he’s more of a number 10 now and he’s been playing in number 9 position, could be a massive player for us in playoffs with his experience

Aye should add Fyvie was excellent until he got injured, was starting to stamp his mark on games, a real blow he got injured. Fraser was showing really good form again when he was injured too.

Yes that was a real turning point in our season. I think Fraser, Fyvie, Moshni and perhaps Ralston. This leaves us in a great hole for next season as I don't think we'll have any of them still playing for us. I fully expect Mohsni to be playing in the top league but not with us. I can see St Midden trying to get him for starters.

F'kn don't get me started, you'd think he was head of Sky the way he talks!

To be fair I think the boy Simpson does a pretty decent job, but for the rest and thon selfie camera, I wonder if he's got a copyright on that, just in case Sky try to steal his innovation

I have been an Arabzone subscriber for a few years now (this year as i keep on forgeting to cancel the DD) and having viewed other (lesser) teams highlight/Interview presentations, I find that im quite embarrassed and annoyed at the poor quality of the Arabzone product. Firstly the match action filmed surely can be zoomed in a little without lossing any picture quality which im convinced is either lack of effort or skill on the camerapersons part, then theres the sound (when it accually works) its all over the place, sometimes its hardly audiable, sometimes to high to point of distortion, and most annoyingly when its both, mainly during interviews (questions can't be heard etc.) , then the questions been asked in prematch interviews leads me to believe that the target audience is 10 year olds. So, Mr Rice and Co certainly fail to gain any pass marks from me.

Its shite.

Thought Gillespie has been really good last couple of games.

I know mate.

I meant that would be his response. Think my joke wasn't very well written out though.

Csaba has been getting fuckall pass marks fae anyone. Easy to diss him as a gobshite with his style and chat.

Hard to slag him for anything in the last 2 games and don't see any giving him any credit. I pushed for him to be punted after Dumbarton away but feel I was maybe doing the reactionary easy thing we do.

He's been loaded with signings that he didn't choose I'm reliably informed.

Maybe deserves more of a chance.

Haven't seen anyone 'slag' him since last Saturday v Dumbarton certainly (or the immediate 24 hour aftermath at least) . But praise?

C'mon mate we have ground out two 1-0 wins at home v teams who have half our support and playing budget (let's not forget that). Deservedly so, but without being overly impressive at the same time.

Yes, it's better. But it's hardly the turnaround in form that has the support looking forward to the Play-Off's or rating our chances at all.

A big win against win v Brechin may alter that however. Optimism (or lack thereof) changes game to game).

Not about time Utd hammered a team btw? A few goals on Tuesday might just get even me thinking our season's still alive.
