Biggest signing of this summer will be Miovski’s new contract!

Best thing about that big stramash down at the front was seeing the presumably injured Miovski right in the middle of the bodies with the biggest smile in the world on his face pumping his fist in the air. Boy loves being a Dandy.

On the law of averages, you’d think Roos would go the right way more than 1 out of 7. Cunt could have dragged himself out of the way before Duncan’s pen too.

We’ve been done here, that’s a penalty all day long.

It looked to me that someone at the other end of the “line” could have been playing him on but very difficult to see through the stramash of players, which makes it difficult to justify deeming it a “clear and obvious” error (assuming I haven’t misunderstood the VAR/offside rules again).

He seems to be a good coach and has stood up and made sure we have at least fought to grind out points despite the clown show going on in the boardroom and the Warnock debacle. I like the “no drama, get down to business approach”. No illusions that he wants the pressure of being the manager, just wants a coaching gig at a good club. Therefore on a personal level I hope he finds a bit of longer term job security with us, particularly if he’s actually good at his job which his track record and the respect the players seem to have for him would suggest.

Just reading Leven’s Wikipedia page there, didn’t realise how successful he’d been as an assistant manager in Belarus and Russia working under the manager who’s now in charge at Dinamo Moscow. Hope there’s a place for him in the future coaching team structure.

The reigning ‘German Football Manager of the Year’ who managed a Budesliga team in the Champions League last season? Seems highly unlikely.

It would be depressing as fuck if McInnes was the best we could come up with.

Liked Mackenzie giving it back to Shinnie in equal measures after Shinnie’s shit pass out of play.

The manager of the German national team? Very kind of you to befriend the village idiot.

Statement went up on the website last night. We appointed a German management consultancy company and seemingly their conclusion is that we need to appoint a Technical Director to support the Director of Football. No really. If the outcome of every management consulting process in the history of the world is anything to go by, we can expect this Technical Director to be affiliated with this consulting company in some way. Steve Gunn better start brushing up on his German.

Reading that Steve Tosh tosh on Twitter, I saw Uwe Rosler mentioned which could be a good shout. Currently with AGF in Denmark, got them to 3rd in their league last season. Bit of a patchy history in the English leagues but generally seems to get his teams punching at their weight, if not slightly above, which is what we need pretty much. Re. Michael O’Neil, isn’t he a renowned prolific alcoholic?

St Mirren have 2 Norn Ireland players in their squad, probably just watching them?

On the face of it, what Warnock said was correct. However, we could have done that with Peter Leven taking the team until the permanent manager was appointed and completely avoid the Warnock circus that was always inevitable to be an embarrassment.

Warnock gone. It’s going to be Lennon isn’t it?

A clear and obvious error shouldn’t really take 3 minutes of slow motion replays to determine. If we’re picking dubious scapegoats, Roos is 6’5” and let in a penalty at least half a foot inside the post when going the right way.

He’s clearly just throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks.

Gartenmann definitely not worth spending any money on. Absolute fanny. Dan Phillips of St Johnstone has impressed me both times I’ve seen him this season, out of contract in the summer I think, Trinidad & Tobago international.

We’re in trouble.

I like the Scandinavian option more than the Japanese/Australian league option that we seemed to be considering before we appointed Robson. Would still prefer the former-Yugoslavian war criminal who has managed half a dozen African countries to the World Cup profile.

Don’t think Gartenminmin is worth spending any money on. We have MacDonald and Rubezic who can play on the right side of central defence, I’d be looking for someone who can play on the left side ahead of Jensen ideally.

Worth mentioning that McKenzie dribbled past more Hibs players than Duk did. He was great today. Thought it was Clarkson’s best game in a long time too, far more effective than Barron albeit in different roles. Hoilett looked better than expected, put in some decent crosses but doesn’t look like being able to beat a full back or use his left foot.

Phillips offers nothing. Total contribution since he came on is 3 rugby tackles.

Duk’s diving about is starting to get really fucking annoying.
