    Spot on. Massive improvement in both areas as the season has went on. Huge credit to Kennedy for that and credit to Ronny for delegating that responsibility to someone more qualified.

    I'm really excited about where we are headed just now.

    I've noticed since Ronny has taken over most of our corners are hit to the front post. Does my nut in because no * makes a front post run. Our biggest successes have been getting it right on top of the keeper with Van Dijk and Denayer attacking.

    I think that's just under hitting it rather than tactical.

    Armstrong takes a dangerous corner. From what I've seen so far anyway.

    I think it's tactical, mostly because we've been doing it regardless of who hots the corners. We mix it up when the two arms go up in the air before hitting it.

    Great performance that night from a young Kennedy in defence. Didn't phase him playing in the Camp!

    He was such a promising player, it was terrible what happened to him. But he is obviously very important for us now - Ronny was talking to him a lot yesterday during the game, especially around the substitutions.

    By all accounts he is a promising coach, hope to * he goes on and makes a real name for himself im the game, with us obviously.

    I know nothing of his coaching ability/style. I only know he does the set pieces because of what I've read on here.

    But his mental toughness alone is something to be admired. If that kind of iron-willed determination is something he can pass on to some of the younger guys at the club, brilliant.

    Also think when a you g player starts getting to big for there boots, you can do a lot worse than sending them in Kennedy's direction for a reminder about how easily it can all get taken away.

    Just floating on the edge of the box, where he's deadly..

    I agree, stokes corners generally are easy meat for keepers and commons corners infuriate me, fizzes/floats them in..

    Nah, in the 6 yard box picking up the scraps. He's the only player in our team with a poachers instinct.

    If we still had a Hooper I'd have him on the edge of the box though.

    Find it hard to take to him because of his role in the youth system. Our youth system has massively underperformed IMO.

    Hopefully he proves me wrong.

    I've never seen it.

    RR, he did,nt recruit them,he coached them,and they done very well.
    Not his fault that most of the kids were/are not good enough for the step up.

    Anyhoo,I'd still love to get my hands on that Romanian piece of * garbage.

    Don't have the tackle to hand and to be honest I have no inclination to go looking for it.

    Lets just say it's one of the worst tackles I have ever seen, the fact it was in a friendly just magnifies it's brutality.

    I have no idea what was going through Ganea's mind.

    Karma is surely just biding it's time with this *.

    Spot on about David Marshall and John that night in Barcelona, really special to see two talented Scottish kids standing up against Europe's best.
