[Del Boy]

he is an absolute tosser :agree:

[Phil D. Rolls]

When I saw him on Reporting Scotland the other night he reminded me of Arthur Thomson snr. Without the charm.

George Peat and Gordon Smith both came out of the same Christmas Cracker.
A complete pair of tossers :rolleyes:

[Billychaotic182]

he got a good boo in the pub when he was on the tv

[HibeeUnderwood]

George Peat GTF!!! :grr:

I can't wait for Iwelumo to score his first Scotland goal, so then we can rub it in the erses face!

[Elephant Stone]

He should be sacked, what he said was a disgrace.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Time for Gordon Smith to show a bit of continuity of thought and agruement. Bawbag Fudgeson was rightly rounded on by him for coming out with the self-obsessed whingeing about the boozing and gestures, not because of what he said, but because of when he said it. If George Peat does not accept that this applies to him also then we have no credibilty. This outburst is an obvious opening gambit in what will be toe-curling post-mortem into what went wrong with this campaign. As ever, the blazers need to establish why it was not their fault.:blah:

What damage? Surely Peat was just stating what everyone except Burley knows. A supposedly international class striker who misses a chance like that deserves all the flak he gets.

Absolutely, if you're a fan or journalist. The miss was shocking, I wouldn't dispute that at all.

But the chairman of the Scottish Football Association should NOT be making statements that ridicule individual players.

I thought it was totally out of order.

[Hibbyradge]

He said what he said and he was way out of order. That's on the record now and nothing he can do can reverse that,

However, it's good that he apologised for it, no?

Or would folk have prefered he stuck to his guns? :confused:

Yes he should have stuck to his guns.

Why did he not say it at the time then, why wait until a couple of games before a game.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Yes he should have stuck to his guns.

In the way that you can never be half a fud?

Nonsense. These things happen, particulalry those ones you just stick your foot out for. McFadden had a similar sort of miss in possibly even the same game at the far post, maybe another game, but these type of misses you just can't judge people on as 999 times out of 1000 it goes in the net.

The big guy and Fletcher coming on actually changed the game for us in the first place and gave us a slight chance of scoring.

It's just ridiculous to single out that type of miss over a campaign. It says more about the peope that go on about it than it does about the player.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Using Peat's logic, it was Billy Bremner's fault that we didn't win the World Cup in 1974. If he had put away that goal against Brazil we would have gone on to the final.

However, it's not that simple, and there are other things that happen in a game and a campaign. It's easier to talk about the missed goal and the muffed save, than to look at the bigger picture.

Players put in poor crosses, with a forward standing unmarked, that's a missed chance. Tackles are missed that lead to a movement that results in a goal. These have as big a bearing on the final result, but they don't have the same drama.

If Boyd had played, he might well have scored that chance, but there's also the possibility that he wouldn't have been there in the first place, or that in another phase of the game he would have left a player unmarked leading to a counter attack.

Peat's comment was the sort of thing that would be shot down in flames on the terracing, or in the pub after the game. Not only was it ill founded, it was out of order - surely a team wins together and loses together?

[Dashing Bob S]

They burn peat over in Ireland. Makes good fuel.






It's the only circumstance whereby I can see him having any utility at all.







Something to think about?
