I know i was laughed at and slagged all over the place when said that we should have appointed Neil Lennon to replace McInnes. I am not saying we would be league and european champions if we had done that back then, but we would most certianly not be in the dreadful sinking shit show that we are currently in the middle of if we had.

I don't think Lennon is any better than McInnes (and, we should have been upgrading on McInnes, Thelin the only man we've appointed since who at least had a background and CV to suggest he may have been).

What really goes against him is all the baggage that comes with him. I'd find it difficult to accept him as manager and I like to think I'm one of the less reactionary fans.

He's going a good job at Dunfermline and fair play to him, but he's not what we need. He's a chequebook manager, a Celtic Jimmy Calderwood if you like. Give him a good squad and he might get them playing, but at Celtic he frustrated all the coaches because he had zero interest in the youth team and no desire to ever promote anyone. At Hibs he inherited a good team and as they broke up he couldn't fix it or rebuild, he left them in eighth. And he absolutely blew Celtic's chances of 10 in a row.

I won't lose any sleep over us not appointing Lennon.

Fair comments panda mate.

I am not suggesting that he is the man for the job now as I said (that ship has sailed long ago) But if !!!!! we had appointed Lennon as the initial replacement for McInnes all I am saying is that we would not be in the same shit show that we are currently in. That was the correct time to appoint popcorn teeth, but now it is not as we are way tooo deep in the shit for Lennon to pull us out of it. 
 

But I do realize if is the main word in all that.

IF my granny had balls she would have been my grandad.

I really have no fukin clue where we go from here, but I do believe that Cormack is largely to blame and in the present day (although only here 5 minutes) we have all seen enough form the penguin thief already to know that he is not going to helping the situation any time soom.

What a fukin mess

Your weekly reminder that Lennon called us sheepsgaggers over the Parkhead tannoy and lied about receiving sectarian abuse from us at Tynecastle. 
Dunfermlines league position shows how good they are when they’re not playing us every week. 
He’s a total throbber who can’t work a toothbrush, a washing machine or eat biscuits without spilling the crumbs all over himself 

It’s a hard pass from me

Safe travels for those coming down to Fife today.

A wee bit local advice for those driving down.

Free parking is available at Leys Park near the police station. This is a short walk from the town centre and EEP, however it’s the other end of the ground from the away stand and will be gridlocked for a while after the game.

On street parking may be available in the Garvock Hill area near the stadium but I would imagine it will get very busy and don’t park on the pavement! 
 

If you fancy a walk, Asda and the Halbeath Retail Park just off the M90 have a large parking area though it’s about a 30 minute walk to the ground. The walk can be interrupted by a visit to The Elizabethan on the way(if you can get in).

I will quietly be cheering on from the Main Stand today and hope that my sons are looking forward to next week against Raith instead of a Cup Semi Final at full time.

Parking fine arrived for parking at Halbeath retail park. Time restriction, apparently very well sign posted. I didn't see anything. Fuckers. Anyway, info for when we get them in the playoff. I hope the owner of the car park dies in horrible circumstances. Absolutely parasitic form of rentierism.

Fuck em, don’t pay it.

Good idea. It's my wife's car, so it's her that they'll go after. I'm contemplating going full gaslight and asking her how she doesn't remember the day out she had in Dunfermline only a week ago. Maybe hide some of her things and remind her about the great time we had at various events we never attended.

I got fines each way in the Tyne Tunnel last July - that is very well signposted but me & my daughter so busy talking didn't notice
