Here we go again. Var changes the game. Did anyone claim for the penalty? Not that we’ve done anything in this game but fuck var yet again.
-
Absolute garbage first half. Nothing from our midfield and Dundee totally dominated. Warnock hangover!!
-
I’m going with leven’s magic combines with the killie win inspires our performance and a 2-1 win. Miovski and clarkson.
-
Pretty sure Berti Vogts is available. Although he may be older than Warnock by now….
-
We’d be underdog against any of the three semifinalists, nothing to lose. If anything Celtic are underachieving this season and not performing to their fullest. We’re also due a result against them in a cup. 2-1 us with scales og the difference between the teams. Cup semi win and the full Bayern coaching staff coming in, things are looking up. Morris start this weekend?
-
British, hm, decent player who managed at a decent level. Doesn’t mean decent manager though. Stevie G? Lampard? Steve Bruce? Billy Davies? Obviously Lennon, Strachan, McLeish. Just trying to think of people I’d not want! Foreign boss currently in a job. Obviously Klopp and part of his Liverpool exit plan. going to be a really interesting hire given the time and process since Robson left.

Good after match interview with warnock, 100% agree a new man needs to be in asap to assess the squad and build for next year with input on who we keep, get rid of, and sign. Can’t remember who posted the opposite how we’ll be late and it fucks up next year, agreed that would be a disaster. What he says is correct, let’s hope it happens asap.

I’d argue any manager splits the support. If whoever comes in has a good strong start all is good. Comes down to results. Much like Robson, didn’t want him but good start so accepted him. Shit start and the manager is too young, too old, doesn’t know our league, past it, lacks experience, etc etc. McGhee was an ex player and legend and look what happened to him, Roy Aiken took over, mcinnes was a hun we heard. Does it matter, if he wins games and cups he gets accepted. been zero info from the club since Robson left, really curious if it’s a new manager, new structure, or what?
-
OOft! Surprised that he’s gone but obviously sounds like we are close to moving forward. Better be more than just a new manager coming in or this leads to more what the fuck questions. id argue it was probably more work and pressure than warnock expected.

Good effort from the team, hard working battling performance. Saying that, from what I saw, we played through midfield a lot more and possession was better. Certainly less hopeful/hopeless long ball. 4 at the back. Let’s stick with it and build upon this formation. Macdonald solid at the back , won everything in the air, and while Mackenzie is prone to the odd mistake, rash tackle etc, he played well bombing down the left. Linked well with hoilett who was creative and had a good game. Not convinced by gartenmann and I think devlin is lacking confidence, doesn’t totally look like the excellent signing from the autumn. people here have criticized Phillips for his lack of ability but the boy works his bollocks off. A Rama type who definitely helps our midfield. Shinnie was Shinnie, played well and a lovely goal. McGrath is a good player, played well and needs to be given the #10 roaming free role. Played on the right but he’s more of a central player but since we don’t have a right mid it is what it is at present. At present the 5 in midfield, McGrath and hoilett outside and shinnie Barron and Phillips is our best midfield. bojan worked his balls off but didn’t get much, but does a shift. good performance but it’s ‘only’ the cup. We need league wins.
-
No clue what to expect, formation, personnel, performance etc. but say we win 3-2, miovski 2 and clarkson. On another more important note, given the minimal interest and comments these days, noticed today that shinnie and Charlie mulgrew are members of Snow Patrol. I never knew that.
-
More and more chat from who??? Validity or simply hope??
-
Yup, captain Ferguson with a nice volley for the winner. Italy couldn’t have gone any better for him. 20-30 million the talk with most rumors saying juventus want him to replace pogba. What’s our sell on, 20%?
-
Funny is certainly the wrong word, but it’s funny that I thought something similar too. The collapse we have seen in the last month is very like goodwin’s last month. We’ve gone from being in a decent place to complete shit. I know we weren’t 3rd or 4th, but we had games in hand, were in a cup final, and had a decent last game in Europe. The difference is that we weren’t shit prior to goodwin’s last month, but we’ve been arguably poor all year, plus have a very poorly designed squad, plus were an absolute disaster in the January window. i still feel we are doing the right thing, a review of all things football, but we have to move forward soon. We’ve got a babysitter and nobody benefits right now. Team in limbo and results matter.
-
That’s the thing, it’s not a clear and obvious error. Haven’t seen it enough but in real time I thought devlin was fouled, then the replay they hit each other 50-50 and no foul. Stunned there was no monitor check. over the full game though we were pretty shit again, horrible tactics, and only one team deserved to win.
-
Got what we deserved, panic kick ball from the first minute. Wonder strike gave us the lead but over the game can’t deny st mirren didn’t deserve the win. didnt think it was a foul never mind a penalty, red tv didn’t show it again so can’t really reflect, stunned they didn’t go to the monitor.
-
St mirren by far the better team but we’re hanging on for the most part. Shocking that this is what we have become. We are not a long ball team, don’t have a Curtis main or Sam cosgrove type up top to battle, and every long ball for the most part is lost and st mirren attack again. We won’t win continuing to play like this, it’s wave upon wave and only a matter of time. Few dodgy calls too that I’m waiting for var to give them a penalty, wouldn’t be surprised to see st mirren get a penalty in the second half. Hate this var era where it’s heart in mouth waiting and staring at the ref while there’s a delay.
-
Being totally dominated because we cannot keep the ball. We’re working hard but zero passing or skill. Frustrating cos we are better than this.
-
Cracking goal, 30 yard top corner smash. Since then haven’t seen a pass, smash it long at every opportunity. Not unlike st Johnstone game, they are better cos we don’t pass. Not sure why, we have the ability.
-
8th is appealing right now…
-
Think we have a game tomorrow, anyone care?? no clue what to expect but always the optimist! 2-1 us and a change of fortune, miovski and shinnie

I was one of the few who felt what we are doing made sense, a review of the whole footballing side of things with an experienced head to see us through to the end of the season. Warnock has been in this type of situation many times, a team closer to the bottom of the league than top and see them to safety. His man management skills were emphasized too, someone who would get the team some confidence. saying that, what the fuck is going on? It’s pick names out of the hat and throw them onto the field. Six midfielders tonight and a 3-6-1. Each game a different fuck up. He benched Devlin and Mackenzie who, in my opinion, have been two of our better performers this season. It’s clear he has no fucking clue about our players, how we play and have been playing, and what has/hasn’t worked. Each game is just a repeat of a Robson fuck up. If we wanted an old master to see us through until the end of the season we’d have been better off with Willie miller, someone who knows the team club and players….i think! Then again, if we were more concerned about personality and team bonding I am sure there are plenty of others out there, say John Hughes (joking really) who know more about the club and players than warnock. he seems totally clueless, it’s no better, arguably worse, than Robson. As many including myself have said, we don’t have the time for trial and error. What structure is in place now? Who supports warnock? Are any of our back room staff giving him any feedback? fucking comical. And seriously worrying.
-
Wtf tonight. 6 midfielders to start, including 5 center mids if you include Milne. We have to stop fanning around with formation, you cannot chop and change both formation and personnel and expect consistent performance….maybe consistent shite. This isn’t preseason, what the fuck are we doing? curious what happened with devlin not starting tonight, he’s possibly our player of the year…?? where do we go from here. 4 points off 11th….!!
-
I thought you were extremely optimistic before tonight, now I’m wondering if 1.5 is more realistic. hard to see where any points come from, form is worst in the league I’d assume??
-
Not much to say. We’re fucking rotten.
