How did you know he was an old boy and not a young lad who had kicked an old boy off his scooter, stolen his clothes and driven off using a scarf to hide his identity?


Cos us old boys still live with the memory of mammy’s knitted hessian backed jaggy woolly balaclavas 😂

The face coverings make no difference to the youths of today. Spend a Friday night in Asda Halbeath and you’ll see plenty of them brazenly being d*ckheads.

Billy Terrell looks like the real deal. He could be very successful goalkeeper.

When a high press is proving too troublesome, the best keepers play long passes to midfield or forward line, routinely finding their own player.

Speaking of cold, for ~3 weeks in the depths of a Minnesotan winter, you need to double layer. Wearing a balaclava is a must. And a larger hat over a beanie. Goggles. Etc. And you can just about survive being outside for 30-40 minutes.

Genuinely, he was stuck behind a car because someone had parked on the pavement. I seen him and went across to ask if he was alright. Spent a few minutes talking to him and in that time he told me he had to wear something to stop the wind from taking his breath away because he was hooked up to an oxygen tank that he had to use 24/7. Too much breeze and it’s difficult for him to get the oxygen.

But back on track, I think Billy Terrell looks a good find so far. He’s not out of place at this level and considering his age it looks like he’s got a bright future.

Think Billy looks a good find, real sweeper keeper who`s made some great saves ao far gives me the most confidence of the keepers we have.
Lennon gave him some (unfair imo) stick for the 1st Partick goal a few weeks ago but has stuck with him and despite lennons comment his confidence hasn`t been knocked and he`s pulled off some more great saves since with different CBs every time he`s played.

I think Billy will get better and better as he gets more confident. He’s our number one for me.

You realise you`re all teeing him up to throw a ball in his own net now?

He`s not Mehmet, so he`ll get a bit of leniency if he does.

He should have done better with the Ayr goal and Partick`s 2nd goal but everyone has been pretty understanding of that.

Don`t get me wrong, that`s a good thing and I think he has the potential to be very good.

He was never saving that Partick goal.
It maybe looked bad if you were in the main stand or Norrie but in the NW it was unsaveable.
I like him from what I’ve seen so far.

We`ll agree to disagree on that.

It`s not some sort of horrific mistake but if Mehmet had let it in - following the goal against Ayr - there would have been people foaming at the mouth.

Is that because Mehmet has made numerous mistakes and cost us numerous goals?

He’s poor under a cross and his kicking wasn’t good enough so when he didn’t save one he should have it raised the question of why is he there?

The 2 seasons in the championship were evidence enough that Mehmet isn’t good enough, I don’t know why we keep bringing him up 🤷🏻‍♂️

That second one against Patrick moved a lot.

I`m bringing him up because I felt he got blamed for a bunch of goals where he wasn`t culpable - and became a scapegoat for the element of our support who go to games with a preconceived idea about what they`re about to see and then only see things that support it.

I hope Terrell does well and Mehmet doesn`t play again - mostly because I can`t be bothered with the fall out when he lets in a goal.

Barney Stewart is the next cab off that particular ramp. He did well on Saturday but more than one person suggested he was miles off it or out of his depth.

I thought he did quite well when he came on, a few good head flicks, one that gave Matty a chance.

He`ll bed in after a rew games.

I definitely agree that some of the shouts on a Saturday are absolutely wild. I’ll give some of it a pass as I do think sometimes it’s easy to get wrapped up in it as a fan sometimes.

I don’t think Barney Stewart has done much wrong. Our last couple of performances haven’t exactly helped him. Would be good to see him paired with Kane and actually get some service for him to work with.

The difference most people understand the intent, balclava to keep warm or balaclava to hide identity when connitting a crime. Only in a very small number of cases is it a grey area.

How bad does it get. I`ve experienced -34c in Whitehorse, Yukon. That was unreal. It gets down to -50c . Glad I missed that.

I agree with you, AdamAnts - The strike for Partick`s second goal was fantastic - hit hard with a marked swerve then dip. It was a brilliant strike that would have beaten most keepers. He was also a bit unlucky against Ayr, with a save bouncing back off the post onto his back and then falling to an Ayr player who was right there (rather than our defender). If anything, perhaps Robbie Fraser got turned, and the PT player had some space to shoot. As I wrote on the match thread, Billy Terrell was my MOM on Saturday. He looks to get us counter-attacking quickly. Like Tobi, he anticipates problems and is prepared to come out quickly to clear. He also has a long flat kick which is pretty accurate. He is also brave. He can trap a ball and is comfortable with the ball at his feet, and he uses both feet. He also had a great clearance punch in the last game, coming through the middle of a group of players. He has also made a number of good saves or narrowed the angle quickly to keep us in games. I like him.

On the other hand, I think Munn`s mistake letting the ball go over his head for a Raith player to nip in and score was a bad mistake. Perhaps put that down to the inexperience of youth - he won`t do that again. If I were manager, Billy Terrell would be my first choice keeper of the three.

The keeper is a keeper ( pun intended) if we can tie him down to a longer deal. He would be wise to stay till a season or 2 in the SPL and go fly the nest. And still young then.
