  1. 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).

    Why? 

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

    Michael O’Neill is the name being touted on other forums. Apparently he was at the game last week. 

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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

    Shouldn’t the line be drawn from the defender’s elbow?

    Miovski’s dotted line doesn’t seem to intersect properly with his solid line.

    Is this supposed to be like Hawkeye in tennis or is it just some Hun in a cupboard with some crayons?

  12. If the attacker is in line with the defender it’s onside is my understanding. Even the lines drawn on the screen didn’t seem to match up because both lines would have ended up on top of each other. The line from the defender’s shoulder seemed to line up with Miovski’s cross-field line.
