Another priceless quote from bleubrazil. Always worth waiting for Todd's spokesperson.

There can be no sense in not playing local guys up front. They did well in pre season and Chad had some real skill and speed. Isaacs should be in defence. If not then replace with a forward who can cover d on emergency. I have moaned for years about our head coach and sadly things will never change. Give locals a few shifts to help them improve. Nobody ever got better sitting watching a game. It is only with playing beside and against imports that players will improve. Also if the head coach is going to bench players for making mistakes then same applies to imports. All goals last week were caused by import mistakes. They won’t be benched though. I think this weekend and next will really show where we are. Lose tonight and it is possible we could lose 5 straight before games against steelers and devils. Some of those teams will have 4 forward lines so we need to give locals a shift or burn out the imports.

If your a pro and pride yourself no game is meaningless

Dutes did exactly the right thing in Belfast. He gave Marr a full game and kept the score to a reasonable margin. It was a meaningless game for Flyers. Tonight is the game that matters so lets give the boys some real support so they can follow up that magnificent 7=1 scoreline at Braehead. COYF So in a meaningless game sitting Beattie, Chad Smith, and not even dressing Reece Cochrane, and playing a D man up front is the right thing to do? Reece Cochrane was playing for Kestrels last night.

Aye that’s what I mean by not dressing him, last night would have been the perfect chance to give him a regular shift in the elite league

Missed opportunity to give the young lads some very valuable ice time. Even if that had cost us a couple more goals it would have been worth it, how else are they going to learn and improve? Game was meaningless, not many more of them coming up.,

This it was a meaningless game is utter bollocks no game is meaningless especially to the fans who paid there hard earned money to go on the trip to Belfast it also builds momentum either in a good way or a bad way ie if we hadn't wun tonight would have been 3 losses on the spin

did you literally just say mark morrison never brought through any junior players? Yes that's what I'm saying, maybe a few come through but how many went elsewhere as they couldn't stand him. Name a player that come through the Morrison era, Murphy but he wasn't even a fife product. Kyle Horne, Daryl Venters, Andy Finlay, Gary Wishart, Paddy Ward, Andy Samuel, Tom Muir, Adam Walker, Lee Mercer, Lee Mitchell, Euan Forsyth, Jamie Wilson, Chad Reekie. Just off the top of my head.

How many of those players stayed at Fife, most of them were sickened and left. Nowadays the few that have / are coming through leave before they get a ride on the Flyers Pine. The junior supply line under Todds reign is diabolical due to the treatment they get, why would you want to aspire to those conditions UNLESS you are J Scoon

It took him 4 years to quit the Dump and Chase plan that NEVER worked, we are now into the second year of playing Isaacs up front with year on year forward injuries and burnt out teams. 2 Bench coaches.....neither of whom capable of wearing a shirt in injury crisis situations operating with a budget cut. No Brit pack as such that gets plenty ice time. He has openly admitted to UNDER ESTIMATING THE EIHL. Having no control over the players ......they do their own thing and desert the systems. Has no charisma or contact with the fans. 6 years of drinking culture on his watch. Falling attendances and supposed cut budget due to that fact.
YES....... A superb job.................er NO. Very lucky he has a less than ambitious club owner to contend with.

How many got fed up and moved on, it was a well known fact that guys just didn't like Mark and the way he coached.

How many got fed up and moved on, it was a well known fact that guys just didn't like Mark and the way he coached. Some stayed and some left (from that list the only ones who left during that time were Wishart, Walker and Reekie, I think. And Finlay for one season. A few left when the BNL folded but that’s different) That’s not the question I was answering, I was answering the ludicrous statement that “no Brits” came through the ranks while Mo was coach. They clearly did, because he clearly gave Brits a chance if they were good enough. A better question would be: who were the supposedly really good Brits from our junior system from that time who left and went on to have great careers elsewhere. There may be a few but I can’t think of too many. Seems to me that if they were good enough, then they got the chance. As has already been pointed out, I think the guy’s coaching record, CV and current employer says all that needs to be said about how good a coach he is.
