Should i assume our trophy for this is in the post? For me....... Rangers 3-2 smith in the last minute Munich At Pittodrie Copenhagen at Pittodrie Celtic x 2 at parkhead And united away after being 2-0 down unfortunatly the list of lows far outways the highs COYR -
Calderwood had his chance and blew it.............. Next
-
I'll try to remember that when im waving my dons scarf at the passing open top bus after we win the cup (either) next season
-
I will have in 12 months time
-
My opinion was some change had to be better then no change. If said person whoever it is gets the same financial backing as calderwood i can see us doing well - we have some exciting young players at the club, i think we can move forward!
-
Out of interest, (apart from myself obviously) who would your lead applicant be?
-
Again im not saying the man for the job - i just think he will get the job
-
Again im just the copy and paste guy
-
For the record i dont think he is the man for the job - i was just replying to my fans

Stolen from fatshaft 1991-94 Reading: Got them promoted, then were sitting in second place in 1994 when he left for.... 94-95 - Leicester: Where they were adrift at the botom of the prem, he got them second bottom but time ran out and they went down, was still manager next season, but was approached by.... 95-98 Wolves: Took over a poor team, and in his second season nearly took them down. However in his third had them in the automatic spots till right at the death where they just slipped into third, and consequently the play-offs, where they lost in the semis. Failure to get promotion prompted the CHairmen to sell the big money signings in his fourth season, and Wolves struggled to 9th, but did reach the FA cup semis. He was fired midway through the next season. 2000-03 Millwall: Won the Division Two title at the first attempt, and followed that up next season with a play off spot in the championship where again he lost to a last minute semi final goal. His third season saw Millwall finish 9th, but in his fourth he again suffered as a Chairman sold off his best players, and he resigned in Oct 03. Where have Millwall been since he left?? 03-06 Brighton: Succeeding Steve Coppell at the reigns of a newly relegated team, he took them back up via the play offs at the first time of asking, and followed that up with a 20th place finish, the highest they'd been in 14 years. They were relegated again in his third season and lasted only a handful of games before being sacked early in season 4. 06-?? Motherwell: Took them into Europe first time of asking, then lost a lot of players to transfers and injury in seaon two, yet still nearly crept in front of AFC for the top 6. Looks not bad to me like!

-1 For being a moaning cunt

I said at the start of this season Jamie Smith should be dropped in favour of Pawlett and Mackie should be binned for Paton, hopefully next season we will see this change, Defence is a major problem, we need an old head at the back someone with experiance to bring on diamond and considine, like whyte did with anderson and maguire.
-
why because we have a squad full of shite players thats why. Look at our defence for a start - thats going to take a season to get 4 defenders in (might keep diamond) but thats a job in itself - then dont even get me started on our strike "force" whoever comes in has a massive job on to get us back to the way we were playing 2 years ago. Lets be honest this current team have won what 4 league games in 2009 - thats awful by any standards - thats dundee united form. Calderwood came in when all our young players were coming of age and was given almost a million to bring new players in in his first two seasons. Money which for the best part was not well spent. Patience was giving him 3 years to do his job, which he got, do a search on here or on chat for me calling for his head before jan 2007 - you wont find one.

Thats all we want.......Jimmy wasnt the man to give us this.

Can you copy and paste that into the last bit of my post, thanks

You guys really have the siege mentality thing going over here dont you!

Mr Mcghee the seat is all yours. Whilst im not going to get into the "Who was best manager since fergie" debate i do have the following to say. Today is a happy day for stoney, some of you think i didnt have much time for Calderwood, truth is in the past 2 and a bit years you would be correct, but today is a little bit of a sad day too. In Jimmys first year with us he inherited some great young players, backed up with signing experianced players (seve, barry nic and lovell) to bring them on, the perfect mix. Its fair to say after the season before i was fairly excited by the season that was to follow and i wasnt dissapointed. First season in the job is always getting the team to the way you like it and building up a good team we even had an outside chance of Europe- Passed with flying colours couldnt be happier with him. 2nd Season - wasnt the greatest but we were still playing decent football, never left a game early we were unlucky that hearts and hibs were flying that season and had money to spend. Plus we had an excellent team, a natural leader (in anderson) an international standard midfield (seve at the time was playing his best stuff, nicolson after taking a year to settle in was playing well, and we all knew what jamie smith could do on his day) 3rd Season - Started off the season like a house on fire, we were flying in the league playing some of the best football i had seen us play, couldnt be happier with calderwood he was doing a fantastic job - we looked a nap to finish 2nd that season, i remember it quite well that we had rangers at pittodrie to go 6 points clear of them, it was like something changed over night and we were scared to get beat in that game, for some reason we changed the whole way we played in that season to accomodate rangers, i have no idea why to this day but we ended up getting beat of a very shite rangers team and i started to think that calderwood didnt have a clue what he was doing. A few weeks later we were playing worse and worse and we got humped badly from hibs (first game i have ever left early at the time) kept hearing calderwood talk more and more about other teams instead of having faith in his own players, we had a great team at that time and i felt that if we had a better manager we could have finished 2nd that season. 4th Season was the beggining of the end if you take the euro trips out of that season it was awful we took a massive step backwards in my opinion i cant remember wanting to stay till the end of many games, the last straw for me was the QOTS game think he should have walked after that game, quite dissapointed its taken him so long to jack it in, would have still had some respect for him if he walked last season, altho there isnt a massive differance in the home attendances the away support is well down on what it was and also the supporters are a lot less vocal. Whilst i give Calderwood the credit he deserves for making us hard to beat and very solid i feel in his past two years that we became a team scared to get beat and hence never really had a great run of consistant wins. Too many stupid draws against lesser teams, if he left us at the start of the 07/08 season i honestly think we would have had some success in the cups by now, we put hearts and united in their place and they have crept back on us - i think this season was a wasted season. Im not sure about mcghee he's done a good job with motherwell on a third of our budget and also has worked well with the young players they have, which is what we are going to have to relay on, i dont think the next manager is going to get the backing that calderwood has, and i think a reverse effect of this season on any new manager, i think the JIG will make it very difficult for us to have the chance to rebuild. Whoever comes in he's going to need the same two years that calderwood had to get the show on the road. I dont believe our fans have the patience for this. Good luck Mark - You are going to need.

the bad ones never are

Settle the jets young man im just pullin yer chine I didnt have a bit of paper - they dont trust me with raw materials I think the display at ibrox was horse shite, but credit where its due some of the displays have been amazing I was merely suggesting that since the ultras have tried to improve the atmosphere at home / away games its gotten steadly worse over the course of my time supporting the team, This could be down to many factors but for the instance of this argument, im going to blame the ultras
-
What have you done for us lately? Should have retired after the Munich home game, go out on a high
-
Its over, let it go. Sorry to be the one to break this to you but nobody cares about the ultras or your displays Its never going to catch on
