andy steel 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I know he was keen to get back, but seeing as how he'd be fired up enough to press for a place, and to get stuck in to overcome the mental side of such a long lay off, was it maybe a mistake by Walter to play Kevin Thomson last Sunday? Though it all worked out well enough in the end, mind you. I just can't help thinking it was an accident waiting to happen. There you are, three days after the game. On the pulse as always! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotter 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) I must say that in hindsight, with the victory secured, Kev�´s early bath might prove to be a blessing in disguise. Touch wood it�´s only accies at home this week so we should manage without him while he serves his ban. After that it�´s international week so yet more time for him to build his strength and fitness without the higher risk of injury that comes with competitive games. I had the feeling that the hertz game was a little early for KT to start and seemed a bit of a necessary gamble by WS. Hopefully when he returns he will be ready. Edit: early contender for thread title of the season! Edited August 26, 2009 by Cotter 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I thought the title might be from a journalist and then realised the intellect of sport journalists in Scotland falls way below many of the members on here... Definitely get's my vote for thread title of the year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 I forgot about the international week, that's a good point: always assuming erractic Uncle George doesn't call him up, that is. I have to admit that I've been following the cricket all summer, and didn't even know we were playing on Sunday till I saw the news: were we struggling for midfielders? I know Mendes was out, but I would have thought Davis-McCulloch-Edu-Smith would have done. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edu is out for a while as well, and Smith has been playing poorly up until the Hearts game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,552 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Edu is out long term mate... Thomson was a risk to play but he should know better than to lunge in like that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Would someone mind doing a quick precis on Edu and Mendes? As I recall it, which is dimly, Mendes ought to be back next weekend but Edu (did he have an op?) is a bit of a blank for me. It's going to take quite a while for the football to take over from The Ashes for me, I fancy. Or maybe the CL Draw will do it, plus an afternoon of Fulham, then an evening laughing at Hearts. Spasm, chill the wine! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,552 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Mendes back this weekend. Edu out until September at earliest - probably longer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 You're a man after my own heart Andy. I'm only just getting back into the football after the Ashes, hardly have a clue who signed who during the summer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
