Well there goes the fucking unbeaten home record, the fucking pride left
over from the 5-1 game and all thoughts of winning the league. With a bunch
of skiving arses like the ones on the pitch today we'll be lucky to even
dodge fucking relegation. And dont think the manager can escape criticism
- even with the excuse of all the injuries there is no way our best player
(Tosh) can be subbed with only 3 mins to go when there should have been
changes long before this.
Certain players in the Saints team have been stuck by for too fucking long
now. McQuillan is becoming a liability, Jenko has no tactical awareness at
all (how about moving into the opponents half to receive a pass?), Roddy is
past it as a striker (lucky if he got 3 headers today) and Scott needs to
be told that hes no longer the boy-wonder in midfield but an experienced
player who should be able to use his fucking initiative occasionally instead
of relying on a more experienced player in midfield (and hurry back Attila).
Christ its not as if the Scum were up to much - lucky if they had 3-4
attacks the whole game. But the looked the hungrier side and were able to
crowd out players like Georgio in order to spoil any Saints build-up. Even
the goal they scored was a fucking flukey one on the break. Mind you it helps
when arsehole refs like Mr Orr decide to treat shitface Charnley as a cheeky
character instead of the dirty cheat he is - one tackle on McQ which could
have been a red-card offence didnt even merit a booking.
On the plus side for Saints, Tosh looks a natural on the right wing and
was our best player esp in the 2nd half when ONeil was moved to the middle
of the park. In defence Weir and Danny had a good game. But Preston needs to
learn to pass to Jenko occassionally.
Aw fuck it - Im off to get shitfaced.
