I've just looked it up and it was when we beat Feyenoord 2-1 on 7th November. Glad to hear it. Thank you. That's quite a while ago now though.

TuffLuff Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Re: the incident on Saturday, I was far more concerned with the absolute buffet of errors leading up to Malones contribution which is essentially a knock on effect. Our full backs in general are an issue but that error came from the centre of the pitch, not out wide. Was Malone silly? Yes ofcourse, but it’s something that we’ve all seen defenders do so many times before and I’m surprised people think on this season’s viewing Lowe would have handled it better. So the scapegoating of one over the other seems odd to me, especially because the red card appears a little harsh. Also, you can say Malone is out of position but that’s because Davies is out of position, which pulls Forsyth out of position too (and going to stop a pass with his wrong foot) which then finds Malone stranded and having to try and get away with one. This isn’t a situation that you drop Malone and all is fine, he’s dealing with everything that came before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a situation that you drop Malone and all is fine, he’s dealing with everything that came before I've since watched the incident and it was another Curtis Davies misplaced pass that caused all of the other events to unfold. I won't deny that Malone was daft to get sent off. Although he's clearly trying to bust a gut to get back to help out a team mates mistake. Nobody seems to have mentioned Max Lowe being in no mans land for the second goal. But that's because its not Scott Malone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in play, despite his 16 years as a professional footballer, Davies is unable to make a decision on whether it's safe to play out from the back? Time some of these players took responsibility for their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trav Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Problem with the sending off and why it’s stupid is because hamer has already closed the angle down and looks to have claimed the ball. But our malone thinks it’s a good idea to just push the lad in the back and almost inviting him to make a meal off it and give them a penno. No intention of getting the ball and not that much danger. The way we play is by risk taking with full backs becoming an outlet allowing ya to overload. But with our passing from the bs k this may need raining in a bit and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Ashley Cole would have won the ball, retained it, started an attack....run down the full length of the pitch and got on the end of a cross from waghorn and headed it in..... ?

Chester40 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Right, possibly not a good enough reason to get him back in the team.. But @Inverurie Ram admit this inspiration.. To the tune of 'Good to be Back' (Gary Glitter, I know but bear with me) ... 'Malone, Malone... Good to be back.. Good to be back.... Malone Malone.. Did you miss me (yeh) when I was away, did you hang my picture on your wall.... Malone, Malone... Good to be back..' God it fits....the sentiments are stretching it...but we can't have everything now can we. Off for a lie down after all that inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
