Phoenix Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Anyone know if there will be the usual POTY do this year? Not heard anything mentioned as of yet. The North West bus are running it and only inviting those that they like. That explains why you didn't recieve your invite. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 It was mentioned in the programme that it would be the night of the Raith Rovers game and you could get tickets from members of the JT board but doesn't tell you where to find these people to get the tickets. The JT don't half make it difficult. No mention on their website either and with less than a month to go I've not heard anything about how to vote for POTY either.

They'll probably end up holding it for trust members only and want a DNA test to be taken at the main door to prove you are who you say you are !!

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Maybe we should hold a Jags Trust Rep of the Year award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little_miss_jag Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Player of the year 2011 - you would hardly know it is happening if you go by the jags trust site. Theres a brief mention of happening sometime in "April/May". http://www.jagstrust.co.uk/events/ You would think they would be promoting it and getting as many fans as long as possible but obv not. I doubt I will waste another tenner this year to be a member!! Altho I better remember to buy a ticket this year for poty as we nearly never got in last year despite the few empty tables lol!!

Jaggernaut Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 As far as who the Player of the Year might be, if Doolan bags a few more in the remaining games then it'll be hard to overlook him. Buchanan is starting to fade from memory entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchanan is starting to fade from memory entirely. It wouldn't be that hard to overlook him. Fox, Boyle, Rowson and possibly even Paton could be in with a shout.

Jaggernaut Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 It wouldn't be that hard to overlook him. Fox, Boyle, Rowson and possibly even Paton could be in with a shout. I think the only real competition would be Fox. Boyle has improved tremendously, but that doesn't make him a stand-out (for me). He's often ponderous on the wing when we're on the attack; if you get one overlap per game it's a bonus. Same for Paton, although he's a better defender and crosser. Rowser runs around and can be inspirational at times, but any midfielder should be scoring more than he has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 The Jordanhill bus were taking votes at the Falkirk game (I'm not a member so only overheard). They weren't taking it very seriously judging by the number of votes for Halliwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for Paton, although he's a better defender and crosser. Rowser runs around and can be inspirational at times, but any midfielder should be scoring more than he has done. I think you're being harsh on Boyle, there's plenty on here who have said he'd be their player of the year over the past few months and the only thing I can see changing that is some might decide to vote for someone who is staying at the club next season. He puts in an incredible amount of work up the wing and whether he overlaps or not he's still always there providing an option for whoever is playing at left midfield. Throw in him being our 3rd top scorer from left back and him being consistently good despite playing more games than any other player and he has a very good chance of winning it. Rowson doesn't really need to score to do his job effectively, there's plenty of defensive minded midfielders who very rarely score but it doesn't make them any better or worse. For me he's one of the best midfielders in the division and his fitness levels in such a position defy his age. Paton won't win it as he's still got too many doubters but he's one of the best right backs in the division and he's the fittest player in the squad and has been very good defensively. He even used his left foot a couple of times this year. Doolan might be one of the top scorers in the division but that's more down to there not being many great goalscorers this season than anything else. 14 is the best with 3 or 4 games to go. Rooney had 21 last season, Dobbie 24 the season before that so I don't think any strikers have been up to much in comparison with previous years.

Steven H Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Not sure if this has been made official yet but I heard on Saturday that the Player of the Year will be on the 7th after the raith rovers game. For me it has to be Doolan, but Rowson has had another good season...so too has Fox and Boyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jags365 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Will the players be in attendance or has a sponsors' doo been organised for the same time, as in previous years? Yes, they players will be there - otherwise it wouldn't be much of a presentation! I imagine it'll be much the same as last year where the players will hang around for a bit before going on their own night out down Ashton Lane/wherever and usually a couple will stay on, Cairney. What details do you need when voting for POTY via email? Just your name and the name of the player you want to vote for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky jag Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Rowson for me, followed closely by Doolan and Fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
