I'll probably come in for some stick, nothing I am not used too but I'll bump the gums again for big Duncan Ferguson! There are many reasons for this, and some reasons against it ( I'll get on to them further in the post ) Reasons FOR - Someone you'd want to play for, no nonsense, aggressive and Players would leave everything out on the pitch in each and every single game, the lack of fight we show, and have done for years, is something he simply wouldn't allow, been far too many insipid cowardly performances for some time and I think his no nonsense attitude is something glaringly lacking from modern Football. His work with Youth as well, he's been directly involved in the likes of Calvert-Lewin, Coleman, Gordon, Kenny, Holgate, Davies etc...progression to the 1st Team Squad, all who have played a good number of games as I am sure you're aware. People he's worked under, okay for various reasons it's not gone well, but he's learning from the likes of Ancelotti, Moyes, Benitez etc... too, that has got to count for something when he does eventually go off on his own into Management. Reasons AGAINST - Granted, people may say we couldn't afford him, he's also inexperienced as the main man for any length of time and he may not want to work up here, his Family are all settled in Liverpool. All I know is, he 100% wants to be a Manager, I think this would be a fantastic opportunity for him to come up here and cut his managerial teeth, there is realistic opportunities to qualify for Europe, progress ( hopefully win ) in both Domestic Cup Competitions and get as close to, preferably challenge, Celtic & Rangers with much lesser resources. I genuinely feel we should at least present it to him. Please no to the likes of Jack Ross & Neil Lennon etc.....

Indeed, a rather underwhelming end to it all really.

Copy and pasting this from the Hedges thread, which I just replied too, apologies. Hedges to Blackburn will be completed tomorrow for 225k apparently. According to Scott Burns, we're interested in some boy called Jacob Davenport on loan for the rest of the Season ( From Blackburn funnily enough ) and McGrath is alive again, McGrath himself having a change of heart and is now keen on moving here. Wonder if we'll use the Hedges money to get McGrath in tomorrow instead of waiting til the end of the Season? Also signing a Striker from England on a permanent and not a loan, which is much needed for me, Ramirez can't be expected to carry the can for the whole Season.

Not a lover of Bob Dylan truth be told, which I always get strange looks for considering I am Springsteen daft. But I like this sort of stuff from him.

3 Wins on the bounce and all of a sudden we are in a much better position in the League, a point off 4th I believe? For what it's worth, I thought we absolutely deserved 3 points today, they offered the square root of fuck all for the most, slightly more adventurous 2nd Half, but on the whole, they were limp and inept. Us on the other hand, barring some poor decision making again in the final 3rd, could have scored a couple more comfortably. How Shaun Rooney is a Professional Football Player, I'll never know, guy is literally a poundland version of Ross Tokely. Big JET, some turnaround from him, if that fella upped his work rate by about 20%, he would have been at a higher level more consistently throughout his career, just not his style though, and when he's on that sort of form, then who gives a fuck? I think he's a key part of the 11 as it stands. A game Marely Watkins will want to forget in a hurry, such a talented boy, just wasn't his day. Anyway, things hopefully turned for us now, get this consistency going and claw back Hearts, it's not unachievable.

Midnight Mass For the love of fuck, do not believe the hype with this, I'm 5 episodes in and it's up there with some of the biggest pish I've ever seen.

I was very underwhelmed to start with, but he's grown on me, clearly just someone that needed the game time to get up to speed, and to an extent I agree regarding the supply from said Players, he'd thrive on that. But he's already built a strong relationship with young Ramsay, I think even MacKenzie has assisted 1-2? Once those boys continue their development, Ramirez will thrive even more. But, we have Marley Watkins now, Hedges as well, those two should be contributing more in the final 3rd, maybe a bit early to be critical of Watkins, given he's only just back and is also needing matches, but he's creative, Hedges is supposed to be too. We have on paper, a pretty good squad in my opinion, one that is not performing to it's capability, I am sure there are multiple factors for this, but we really need to pull our finger out, and sharpish.

There's absolutely no doubt it'd help, obviously not at the other end of the Pitch, but defensively, absolutely. We've still to see the best from Bates and Gallagher in my opinion, the 2 of them performing will massively help, I think Ross McCrorie deserves a ridiculous amount of credit, that boy has been shifted around a fair bit, under McInnes too, he just gets on with it, always throws himself at everything and dusts himself down and carries on. He looks really comfortable in the back 3, even on the left side of that.

Multiple factors for yesterday's shit show. Granted Madden was a disgrace, Ojo did what anyone else in that situation would have done, Madden couldn't wait to even the card situation, Butcher was correctly sent off, but those pikey bastards made such a meal of it Madden was probably looking for any opportunity to even it out. The game itself however, come on man, yet again we were strolling it, other than Fuchs chance after 48 seconds, they were up there with one of the worse team I've seen, only slightly better than a very shit Motherwell, yet they still managed to beat us, why? Because for some strange reason, our decision making in the final 3rd is unforgivable. Ryan Hedges always tried too hard, always tries to carry the can alone, numerous times yesterday he had ample opportunities to put in a ball, or a cut back etc.. yet he continued to drive into traffic and it petered out to fuck all, he was up there with the worse performers yesterday, yet on another day, could have had an amazing game had he made the right choices. Watkins was as quiet as I have seen him, Ramirez also. Granted they lacked service, but Gurr tried, he played well I thought, yet he's been getting some weird criticism, he also made some poor decisions, but also put in a few good crosses, had a flash half volley wide and was a willing runner all game, naturally he tired, but I think the stick he got was unwarranted. We are definitely better on the eye under Glass, we keep the ball well and we knock it about with confidence, it's literally just that individual choice when it matters the most, and other than young Ramsay, they seem to be getting it very wrong. But on the flip side, we're losing far too many points against proper guff teams, Motherwell, Ross County, United yesterday etc...these teams are literally pish, they offer nothing, yet bizarrely, are scoring when they do eventually venture forward! It's fucking infuriating. I was very much willing to give him the Season, especially after that good trio of performances vs Hibs/Hearts/Rangers, but then Motherwell and Dundee United later, we're back to square one and those results seem insignificant. Is it because of the Injury situation? Because we've had an almost fully fit squad at some point this season and we were still losing. I really don't know what to think. I really like him ( Glass ) I like his passion and he talks a good game, but they don't put points on the board, what are we supposed to do?

The Hermit Of Treig 74yo Mike Smith has lived off the land for the last 40 years! No electricity, Gas etc.... It's available to watch on iPlayer just now and I highly recommend it. Personally find him admirable, but at this stage, I'd feel a lot better if he moved back into civilization and was closer to Emergency Services, he's a 2 hour walk from the nearest Road! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0011hp3

Unfortunately it's all being done through a training School, Rico. The next part of the process was contacting them once my Provisional PCV came through, they in turn book the Theory/Hazard. I have emailed the woman in charge, hopefully hear back from her ASAP. Cheers anyway.

I have begun the process of applying to become a Bus Driver, I have had and passed the Medical, they took my Driving License off me on the same day they did the Medical, and said I now need to wait for a Provisional PCV License, however, my Driving License came back through the Post today, there's nothing different about it whatsoever, is there a separate License for Buses/HGV Drivers or would it just get added to my normal License? I am supposed to book the Theory/Hazard/CPC Test when the Provisional PCV License arrives, this is where I am getting slightly confused. Also, would love to hear from you regarding the Job itself, what's it like and are you happy in doing it? I appreciate HGV & Bus Driving will be completely different, just curious about your feelings towards it.

Not disputing he has a goal in him, and he's certainly won us a few games with important goals, he does have that physical advantage over most CM's in the squad, and the League probably, but as a Midfielder, I think he could do the basics a lot better. I understand what @RicoS321 is saying about his movement off the ball etc... but he still has too many poor passes in him, too many needless fouls, poor decisions & he's quite cumbersome ( If that is the correct term ) I think we'd be a better Footballing team replacing him for McGeouch in an overall 11, but then again, you do risk losing that goal threat. It's a tough one, maybe his heart isn't in it, maybe has it set on a move down to England? I don't feel proud sitting here being negative about one of our own Players, I just want the very best for us as a Club, and I think in Ferguson's situation, taking as much as we can for him would benefit all parties concerned. If you look at McGeouch as an example, his movement off the ball is good, he very rarely misplaces a pass and he keeps us ticking along nicely, as well as being box to box, he just doesn't have that physicality or goal threat that Ferguson carries. Who was the young Player McInnes gave a debut too a year or so ago? Big lad but very young, think he plays CM as well, hopefully working hard behind the scenes with him, Duncan I think it was?

These last 3 games have for the most been very encouraging. Today, 2nd Half, was very good. Particularly pleased with McCrorie, Brown, McGeouch, Watkins and Ramirez. I was very underwhelmed with Scott Brown, as I alluded too in one of my after match rants weeks ago, but he's really influencing games now and I hope it continues. Watkins will be a real asset once fully fit, McGeouch has always had the ability and should be starting for me, said that previously, Ramirez is involving himself more and dropping deeper, as opposed to spending a lot of energy chasing shadows and McCrorie is a Central Midfielder playing at the left side of a back 3 in Defense, he deserves a lot of credit. I'm still concerned with Joe Lewis, he's not far away from being back to a reliable GK, but still has the odd moment, but not to the extent he was at the start of the Season, so hopefully that changes and he gets back to what we know he was. And I might come in for stick here, but Lewis Ferguson, his goal aside, was poor today, and has been for some time now, I think once we get bodies back and can shuffle Players back into their positions, McGeouch should replace Ferguson in the 11, I simply don't rate the boy and never have, he has shown brief glimpses of potential, but he's nowhere near consistent enough. Wouldn't mind seeing a bit more decisiveness from Hedges either, he's getting into the right positions but has made some proper poor decisions of late, hoping he's still getting back to full fitness and it'll come with that. I was convinced weeks ago that Glass was out of his depth in all honesty, but said there on Social Media that I've seen enough in this last 3 games from the Players to suggest that they are very much buying into what the Management are trying to do, will pipe down on my criticism of him til the end of the Season now, will be interesting to see how we fare with a completely fully fit squad of Players to choose from. P.S Fuck Hearts & especially Fuck Andy Halliday.

Sorry, last one Was introduced to these guys a few weeks back, a parody of Glam Rockers, they take the pure piss, which I absolutely love, they don't take themselves seriously at all, built quite the fan base apparently, helps given they're all actual musicians. Some of you may find it shit and offensive, but it's a joke, I personally find it hilarious.

Also, quite partial to Lana Del Rey from time to time, particularly enjoy this song.

If you're a Springsteen fan ( I know many of you are not, but some of you are ) then you really need to hear this version of The River! Unbelievable and possibly my favorite version that he's ever sang of this particular song.

I don't disagree, it's not for me, however, that is an acoustic version of one of their songs, and it blew my mind, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Will be interesting to see if the siege mentality comes to fruition today. Hibs got horsed last week, doubt any of us seen that coming, I think if we keep Boyle quiet for the main, we'll be okay defensively, believe it or not It's what we do at the other end, I think the majority of our goals have came from young Calvin Ramsay's set pieces or general crosses? We need to be more productive obviously, I think it's important we get the likes of Hedges & Samuels as close to Ramirez as possible, he can't spend the entire game chasing shadows, he needs help. I think it's got a 1-1 written all over it, sadly. But you never know, they might just surprise us today. COYR

Halloween Kills Absolutely pish, more of a Parody and piss take, rather than a serious & eerie type. The 2018 Halloween wasn't as bad, but was still underwhelming, had very high hopes from David Gordon Green & Danny McBride, but they've fucked it. Copshop Decent enough, slow burner, kind of a " Saw it coming " type Movie, with the introduction of the 2nd Hitman adding to it massively, you'll understand what I mean if you watch it. Worth a watch for sure. Not really got anything else on my list, patiently waiting for ANTLERS produced by Guillermo Del Toro, like the look of that.

Apparently the lead singer from Slipknot? Slipknot are in no way whatsoever my cup of tea, but this is pretty phenomenal in all honesty.

My best mates favourite band. " In Chains " is a cracking song, like " Pain " and " Red Eyes " too.
