Scott Jamieson

It was a pretty reckless and quite stupid "tackle". There was no need for it. I was quite pissed at him when he did it. 

 

These sort of "tackles" do my head in because he manages to recover in time, he is at the halfway line and there is still plenty to do before McKay gets even close to goal. He could have easily tracked him back and tackled him cleanly without getting carded. These sort of tackles almost always come back to haunt you in games, with second yellow cards and missing important games with suspensions. 

 

 

He couldn't have done it to a better person

 

FWIW.... I disagree.... that's just dreadful.

 

Disappointing.... how could he expect to get away with something like that??

I don't think he expected to get away with it...

please Wendy - its a contact sport. McKay was making a break and Jamo needed to break down the play. it wasn't malicious, it was just a professional foul. and scotty being the professional he is - took one for the team.

 

if Nichols had any guts he should have done a similar thing to McKay when he cut across field and set up a goal that was fortunately offside.

 

plus McKay is a whinging prick of a Glasgow rangers reject. **** him.

As a defender myself, we've all done this at one time or another. I bet Popa is no stranger to it either. Sometimes you just have to cop one for the team.

 

In a close game where one goal makes all the difference, and your opponent is quick/skillful/causing problems, and they're breaking away, there will be times you just aren't confident enough that you're going to pick them up in time. In a situation like that, better to drag the guy back at the halfway line instead of near the 18 yard box where a deadball specialist could cause some serious damage. Sometimes you even get lucky and the ref calls play on. It becomes disappointing if the foul was a bad one (no need to chop a player just to break down the play) and it becomes a waste of a yellow if the score was already blown out by a couple of goals.

 

Frankly, I think the playing squad lacked a little heart in "take one for the team" stakes last year, with only La Rocca and Santa really stepping up to do what needed to be done. Hopefully this year we'll have a bit more mongrel defending in that middle third.

 

This is not like diving where you're trying to deceive the officials. It's pretty clear what you are doing when it happens. Unlike many yellow cards, you rarely ever see someone complain to the ref when they get booked for a professional foul. Everyone gets on with the game, and you hope you don't collect a second before the end.

McKay, or any attacker in that position, would have been half expecting it. 

 

I foul intentionally in basketball so the subs can come on and replace me. 

^^^^ what a team player

yeah sorry Wendy it's Mackay so it's open season. If he did that too Abbas i reckon you would excuse him

I don't buy into the Mackay hate either.... 

 

Yeah I get that he  (like Nichols) can be annoying.... but still....

 

Re Abbas..... hmmmm..

 

PS The more I look at that tackle, the more outrageous it looks. It's cringeworthy.  Don't care if he WAS taking one for the team. 

 

Looks like something SFC would do.

The tackle doesn't look good but there were far more dangerous tackles during the game.  Jamieson deserved a yellow for what was a "professional foul" and he got it.  He also copped some stick from his former team mates so I think that level of interplay needs to be taken into account.  Hopefully he won't be put in the position where he has to foul often and when he does I hope the foul will be a little more "cultured".

The action Jamo took was just plain stoopid, as he could jog backwards & outpace Billy High Pants. 

If he picks up another slice of cheese in upcoming rounds & has to sit out a game, that's when Popa will get cross & the gravity of his impulse decision on Tuesday night will hit home. 

he wants to be a cult hero like Dino. Go easy on the boy :-)

St Dino hasn't got a cult...he has only TRUE BELIEVERS!

 

Jamison has to do a lot more than just have a tug at a Meow's shirt. He needs to score with a back heel. He needs to levitate above the ground in the penalty box directly in front of KGJ or Strebre & get a spot kick. He needs to score in a 6-1 thumping of Adelaide. He needs more fist pumps, more shoot farkens!

 

But yeah...done good on Tuesday night. And the Popa Parker & Balkanite Hipster Neck Warmer were very handy for keeping out the Riff chills.

While he could have done something like tug on his shirt instead, there's nothing malicious in it. I think he was acutely aware that Hamill and Alessi weren't having the best nights. So he did it to protect them from a counter. I know you could say that he'd run McKay down with his pace, but did McKay have passing options? I'm guessing he probably did, hence the foul so far from goal

 

@Manfred, imagine if you had the #TeamMembersCap to complete the look? You would've been the trendiest person there

People having a go at Jamo for picking up a yellow in this instance have obviously never played the game. If he lets McKay cut across him without pulling him down, he isn't doing his job.

 

Professional foul.

Yellow card.

Taking it for the team.

 

Well in Jamo 

And if I'm bringing a player down knowing I'll get a yellow regardless I'm not just going to give their shirt a little tug or clip their ankles, I'm going to make it worth a yellow.

All my coaches have always said, if you are going to get booked, make it worth it,

and if you get a red, make sure it was red worthy, if you know what I mean

Wow, your coach must've coached La Rocca as well... 

As for Jammo... Yeah it was reckless and stupid and something you would expect from a butcher but he's OUR butcher now and we can learn to love him, every team needs one whether you like it or not.....    

Really don't know why this foul is discussed at all. Had he been red carded for this, and had we consequently lost the game then it would be a different story. I for my part wish Adeleke had done this to Ibini in the first S3 Parra derby.

Bingo.

That moment when Jamo favourites your Tweet that shuts up Scouse Roar after the hipster from Brisbane tried to bant Jamo...

 

He favoured a tweet of mine during the week, whereby I suggested Perf Glory would implode & claim the spoon. 

 

They was evidence of dissension amongst their players, in the 2nd half against CCM yesterday.

I'd say Garcia has a lot to do with the crap. He is a DH

I've been Sky Blue, the Sydney derby is only red and black for me

You would never hear anything like that from and Eastern Sydney muppet. Well said Jamo.

You do notice that our players always feel more pride in the jersey. Even guys like Rudan and Og like the mentality of our club more.

It's very simple...compare and contrast what Jamo said to that numpty Brosque.

 

One still has pride of place. The other is a smurf twat

That last line sealed the deal for me, legend.

Seems like Jamo will be eating free El Jannah for the rest of his life.

right in dem feels.

One problem, 
One does not have mates that support ESFC, there simply people that you know and seem to somehow tolerate getting along with them
