Some of Stenhousemuir's dirty tackles


Recommended Posts

Brushed off as a mans game, i can hear Keevins just now "this is a team moaning about dirty tackles who have Ian Black and Lee McCulloch in it"

 

No one is interested in refs being blatantly biased against us or our players being the victims of horrific fouling.

 

We have been getting kicked off the park since we arrived in the lower leagues, no one cares, we are simply expected to dust ourselves down and get on with it.

 

If the shoe was on the other foot and Lennon was our manager and we were all Celtic fans you just know these diddy teams would not be getting away with this sort of behaviour. Our players are sadly seen as targets, fair game and easy.

No one tried to kick them off the park. Those who tried it with McMillan and Baxter were "cautioned" by Mr Davis.

 

The point is you need a few men of steel in the team. McCulloch is the only one who comes close to being an apprentice to the above mentioned.

a rangers player like that would be off every week.

 

It would be a small sacrifice if it stopped our skilful players getting booted up and down the park every week. Get 3/4-0 up, and let him half someone in two. Word soon gets around that we won't be fucked with. We would probably need a suitable back-up for the inevitable bannings.

Well, games and refs like Saturday's are few and far between. Whether such a hardman would help to get an even better standing in the table is up for debate. Thing is, we have quite a few hard men in the side, but for some reason they "behave" far too much. McCulloch or Daly for starters. Of course, once Black gets a nasty tackle in, those who like to give him flak will go into overdrive.

Black is not a hard man, he is a dirty little c*nt and built like the side of a fiver. You could blow him over. Daly has been thrown around and bullied by the cloggers of the 3rd tier also, he isn't hard in any sense of the word. Jig may be our hardest but even then, he has also been targeted by the part time hammer throwers, he certainly wouldn't scare me coming up against him.

 

We don't have a proper enforcer or hard man.
