I think we are in an era of super tall goalies. Goram slightly small in his day. Now very small for a goalie. MCneil made a great save in LC final off a Naismith header at 0-0.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Ronnie Simpson only 5 foot 10.

I remember walking away from that 1st league game and being so excited for what was to follow, despite getting beat off Kilmarnock. The brand of football was a joy to watch, night and day from what we had come from the season before.

In terms of inheriting them maybe he was lucky, although I'm pretty sure they're also lucky that he was put in charge - otherwise they might have wound up being swapped for Bobby Mann or totally wasted under a rubbish coach.
Mowbray was appointed because of the talent coming through, he didn't just turn up and find them in a lucky bag.Last edited by The_Horde; 19-09-2019 at 11:54 AM.

There's little luck involved in appointing someone intentionally to guide the young talent we have.
Mowbray was hired for a purpose. It simply isn't a case that any manager would've got the same out of those guys.

Mowbray was a punt. The guy had never managed before, he was only a first team coach. I think you are giving Petrie etc way too much credit if you think this was some masterplan for Mowbray in particular to come in and develop our young players.

Mowbray's derby record wasn't as bad as made out. He won 3, drew 2 and lost 4. The big sticking point is the goals tally: 11 scored and 19 conceded (three heavy defeats), which taint the record somewhat. There's also that semi final.

Ergo, not lucky. There by design.

Are you still firmly pro Hecky by any chance? I was talking nonsense when I had doubts about him away back in March as well..
He maybe didn't say it in his interview, but maybe he's the kind of guy who does his talking on the pitch.. or is that too farfetched?Last edited by The_Horde; 19-09-2019 at 03:58 PM.

An acrobatic tip over the bar from a point blank header which seemed to defy the laws of physics.
It was one of these intake of breath moments that you forever remember.

An involuntary reaction. That’s how good and unexpected the save was.

Another save that always sticks in my mind was by Simon Brown in the 0-3 cup game at Ibrox. Bob Malcolm hit an absolute peach of a shot from just outside the box that was headed straight for the top corner. Brown shifted his not inconsiderable weight from one foot to the other and at full length got a strong hand to it to touch it onto the bar. Had that went in it was a different game altogether.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Mowbray was a good manager but also fortunate in the sense he came in just as the Golden Generation were breaking through.
The football was absolutely amazing to watch.
