    Given the wealth of candidates for scapegoat, Miovski seems a wierd choice.

    So he's beyond criticism?? Did you not see him ten yards out try to flick it over the defender rather than shoot? 

    That was game set and match.

    Devlin was second to the ball and should've pulled out. Silly pen to give but a pen none the lesd, then panic set in.

    Time will tell on bojan. I've made no secret that I thought Ramirez was a superior finisher and I stand by it.

    Time will tell us how good bojan is and I'll be happy to listen to you all tell me if he can move up a level and score goals.

    Should've had a match ball today and bair at Motherwell would have with the same chances.

  2. After a few weeks, this sits with the manager.

    He needs to bring the aggression into training. He needs to put physical presence on the pitch. We all know that shinnie, Barron and clarkson is lightweight AF.

    Shinnie has a dirty streak but he's also past it and physically lacking in the tackle. I'd drop him tomorrow and make others take responsibility. 

    I don't care if he plays ruby at CDM, we're far too soft. Many of these guys have come with good CV's which makes you think that the Cormack park culture is too easy.

    We're second to everything and rarely dominate play. That comes from an uncompetitive atmosphere.

    Just to clarify, I used to call it dels holiday camp. This isn't a new issue. Probably the last five years.

  3. For me offside should only be the players feet, easy to manage. Even for VAR.

    What I can't abide however is the second phase nonsense. Lino keeps flag down, play goes on and then if there isn't a goal it's never looked at. ( A corner with rangers and dessers against us ). I see this at all spfl levels. What's the point of the lino of not to raise a flag?

    A slightly different take on this is ( and kyogo is a master of it ) standing ten yards off with your hand up. Winger runs onto the ball and then delivers into the box where you're ahead of the CB because you had a ten yard start. Utterly ridiculous. If you're off, you just should'nt be allowed to get involved.

  4. Despite the score tonight, I have to say that I've enjoyed watching Airdrie play hearts. 

    If it possible to make our team play like this if Airdrie can?

    N.b they're tiring as the game goes on but surely a squad of full timers coached by McCabe should be a pleasure to watch.

  5. It was an ugly watch but delighted to be even. Neil hasn't realised that bojan isn't a ball winning striker as we launch it up. 

    We're being bullied all over the pitch. Clarkson is being thrown about like an empty kagool in the wind.

  6. Well, the circus has arrived. Should generate a lot of publicity and maybe interest b in the permanent role.

    Agree with everything Rico said about consultants. Just go to successful clubs like Brighton for example and ask them how they go about recruiting and finding good managers.

    They can't just be getting lucky.

  7. I couldn't care less if he had a season ticket at tannadice if he does a good job.

    I do agree that he's a bit of a dinosaur but he shouldn't make mistakes over and over like baz.

    If we want to change things, we need a foreign coach with a style of play who doesn't expect to finish behind the OF and wants to disrupt the status quo.

    If you keep playing Scottish style football with our budget, you're always going to lose to teams playing that way with a bigger budget.

    As a consultant myself, I can confirm that all consultants are charlatans looking to charge a fortune for stating the fucking obvious. The fucking obvious, to everyone apart from the guy in charge who doesn't trust his employees. It helps the consultant immensely when those employees are yes-men, too frightened to question the boss.

    Never a truer word spoken.  Every couple of years in my industry they get in the kids from these consultancies who just left uni and let them restructure things ( usually just sack folk and make the rest do more stuff instead of addressing other issues ) until they realise it's a mess again and do it all over in two years. it also gives management a scapegoat when it doesn't work to save their jobs.

  9. Lennon can GTF. What's he actually done? Beat Barcelona once.  Got punted fairly quickly on every job since including Celtic again where he inherited a treble treble winning side and humped it. Only closet dims want him.

    we need to get the brand right this time, Not the name. I've got a lot more patience for a new manager who doesn't make my eyes bleed but might need a bit of time. 

    I'd offer up Gary Naismith but that particular Messiah has to finish his current job and take stenny to the premier!

  10. Miovski looks like he's missed his chance to sign off with a win, wouldn't bet on him being here next week. Garbage second half where the big names his again. Including bojan.

    Only upside geuye looked better than previous games.
