MoTm & Donkey vs OL

Didn't think we really got into the game today, which when you consider the score line it shows how well we have been playing at times. Another good score for the goal difference though and you never know, I might keep a clean sheet one day. Haha unlikely. Well done today though guys I suppose we could say that we never allowed OL to come at us and have a chance in the game. Only 5 games left lads.. C'mon!

MotM - think Tom deserves it this week, excellent pressing, good passes, week in and out.

Donkey - Joe 'passion wagon' Bardell. That car is hoachin mate!

1) Apologies for my rubbish passing today - I know I messed up with easy short ones to Tom, Richie, Tich and Dave and one of them led to their goal.
2) For the defence and those who are back at corners - a few times I had 2 or 3 OL players at the back post. It shouldn't take my shouts to organise us - just look about and if someone is free, mark them!!
3) We need to show each other a bit more respect. I know OL games are massive for us but there were a lot of unnecessary digs amongst ourselves today. If we are going to win the league - which we can - we need to be a team and today on a few occasions it didn't seem like that. Dunc Esplin said to me "I would hate to see how you talk to each other when you are losing".
4) The above 3 are complaints - but we still won 7-1! The standards we have set ourself are high and that's a good thing. I love that coming off the pitch we drop any agro, forget mistakes and for you Livi (and Bathgate) boys go and get pissed as a group of mates. It's why we all turn up on a Saturday morning and play for GS. But lets not forget that during the game - we are there for each other. We can do it this year but only as a team working for each other.
5) I am pissed on the mongo bus home to Dunfermline so feel free to ignore the above.

MotM - Paul Miller for me today. Up and down the line for 90 mins, 2 goals (should have been 8-10) and covered for me / picked up runners all game. Well done mate.

Donkey - going to pussy out and say me for blaming Richie for not getting onto my nonsense pass that led to their goal.

MotM - Paul - didnt stop running all game,his first touch for his first goal was brilliant.

Donkey - Paul - for almost destroying Chris' boot and back window.

Sorry about the boot thing, Chris... Quite enjoyed that game and got a bit too excited! Hopefully your parcel shelf is fine though.

Thoroughly enjoyed this game, albeit a bit frustrated about my passing for the first 15 minutes and my lack of abpolity to score thereafter haha

Very positive game from us, we didn't show why we are topping the league this season in the first half, bit I felt the second we pushed them back and ran ragged most.of the time apart from the 10 minute spell of pressure where they had a few corners.

I'd say motm would go to Richie though - most occasions that I ended up through on goal were because of his excellently chosen passes. His pass for my first goal was tremenduos. Seen him playing midfield, upfront, left wing during the match pretty much. Effort was there til 90.

Thought everyone was decent though. Dougie has rrally settled into things lately and ggrabbed himself a wee cheeky goal aswell.

Thought Steve was decent when he came on aswell.

Dave managed to, yet again, get himself on the scoresheet despite admittimg himseof he had a wee bit of an off day. Even then, spend the whole 90 chasing down balls and setting up others any time he could.

Tom was cracking again, as was big titch. McGinty and Wullie doing what they do week in, week out by giving us (almost) 90 minutes of steady defensive play. Apart from suffering from the same passing difficulty in the first half as I did, I thought Kev had a decent game aswell. Chris love spent quite a bit of time with the other lads on the left wing creating chances and making space, it's important we have that depth every game to prevent us getting nackered by 60 minutes in


Well done boys.

Donkey would have to be titch for saying to the ggoalkeeper "you're a cheat! A cheating bastard - see you after the game!" as he turned his back and jogged away haha even I didn't know if he was joking or not. Keeper had no idea what to follow that comment with lol straight out of Sunday league. Offside!!!!
