again goals players
We went over the goals again with the players this morning,
goal impossible losing minutes watch
We have to watch what we do in the first 10 or 15 minutes because we don't want to end the tie, or make it even more impossible than it is, by losing a goal right away,
excellent football goal group knew man second trophy wee won
Some of the football was excellent today, which the wee man would have liked. It is the first trophy I have won and the first as a new group so, hopefully, there will be more. When the second goal went away, I knew that was us on the way.
game goal happy league time
I haven't been there for a competitive game for a long time but I scored my first ever league goal there, so I have happy memories.
goals lost manner
The manner in which we lost the goals is a concern,
football goal laughing
I'm going to miss his childlike laugh. I'll forget the goals but I'll never forget that laugh.
delivery final further stage touch
We went a stage further than on Wednesday. Our delivery was better today, but our final touch was a problem.
achieve against defending good half hearts opponents physically plan second teams trying within
I've never thought about it that much; I just try to have a plan of how to play the game. Within that plan you have to take teams that are good at defending physically and make them think. In the first half we didn't make Hearts think enough. We made them defend physically, which they handled. We made them think more in the second half. Again, you just can't play the one way all the time. If the team you play against can get in that mentality, then all they have to do is defend. If you can make opponents think, then defend physically, then think... that is what you are trying to achieve that with your team.
contract hitch notice people stupid top
It would be stupid to think people would not notice there was a hitch in his contract and try and get a top player.
although good league rest safe scottish sure
It would be good for everybody, although we would have to make sure the rest of the Scottish league would be safe and prosper,
benefit cards deck full hope lads next playing terms
It would have been a benefit to me and the lads in some way in terms of playing in it. I hope we can play with a full deck of cards next time.
lad seem wants
Things seem to be going well just now and the lad wants to stay, which is good.
loads player work
Craig, like Adam, still has loads to work on before he can be called a real player here.
chris club keen remains
We are very keen that Chris remains at the club and, hopefully, this can be achieved.
