You're missing the point chaps, at least it's good entertaining football - the crowds will be returning in their thousands...

SHock, the knives are out for McGhee and those that wnated him here, why don't you all fuck off, rename this forum to "We Love Jimmy talk" and follow him with his new team... Oh ats right he is that good he doesn't have a new job yet.

Behave yourself. The fact that anyone's referring to the previous management after any defeat is pathetic. We're here for the long term folks, the sooner we all realise that the better. No-one in the SPL is cutting back as much as us, no-one is relying on youngsters as much as us and no-one is in a period of transition as great as us. But fine, if you want to jump to conclusions after getting beat by United, fire away. I'd rather leave it to the end of the season at the very least.

 

 

By all means, criticise factors which affected the outcome of this afternoon's events, but for the sake of our sanity don't bother judging the current management against the previous. It is an irrelevant discussion.

 

 

 

Also, consider this a 'bite' if you wish, I imagine that 'fishing' occurs at a level above this pish.

I'm not going to argue with your post, you're absolutely right. But why are we not allowed to mention the previous management team? They were removed because the product on the pitch was poor, and attendances were suffering as a result. Well the product on the pitch is still poor, same tactics, largely the same players, same 'favourites', same unrest amongst some of the support. Only change so far is we cant seem to win any games.

 

A gutless 2-0 defeat at home to one of our fiercest rivals might be something some fans can take in their stride, but right now I'm pissed off. Is that ok?

 

And minijc, the knives are certainly not out for McGhee (nor are the post-it-note protest 'banners')

As I've said before my gripe is not with MM, I hope he gets things right for us. However, I'm still struggling with the decision to spunk away however many hundreds of thousands of pounds it was to replace one flawed manager with another. Because if that money had been invested properly, on playing staff, we would have almost certainly been at least 2nd in the league tonight.

You can not say that though CTS, Jimmy was going to be signing, Harkins and McCunnie, I doubt either of them would have got us in to second place, last year we had went backwards, football had gotten worse, this year it would have probably have been much much worse and almost unbearable and I reckon we'd have been mid table.

He isn't fantasising though, I think he is being serious, McGhee was expected to come in, have money to spend and get his brand of football on show, soo far the club have failed him and he can't get his football on show as these players are too one dimensional and not willing/able to pass the ball.

 

Oh and Jay, come back when you've been to a game.

Minijc, IF we'd spent the money on quality players instead of needless management change we could easily have been in the position hibs are in now. That's not speculation.  The Old Firm are poor, Hearts are awfull, and Utd are nothing special. McGhee could do just as well as Jimmy with a good budget - but any hopes of a transfer kitty disappeared when we started paying compensation to the Jimmys and Motherwell.

 

The 'Mark McGhee silky football' dream was never going to materialise with the squad we have.

I hope it hurries up then because he was absolute murder today.  His passing is guff, his movement is worse, his tackling is weak and he showed absolutely none of the credentials a captain has to show.  However, the thing about his play that really frustrates me is that he is incapable of striking a ball.  How can a centre midfielder be utterly useless at shooting like that? In fact, how can a professional footballer be so inept at hitting the ball?  You can even see that he knows his shooting is worse than shite, and if that's the case why the fuck is he not working on it?  Kerr can be a good player, we all saw it last season, but if he continues like that then I'd get shot of him in January. 

 

Nobody got pass marks today, perhaps maybe Maurice Ross who was ok.  Miller's miss was utterly shocking as was Fyvie's but I think at least in Fyvie's case you could say he thought about it too much and was exceptionally early in the game.

 

A couple of points of note to Chris Maguire;

 

Look up when you have the ball, you made us lose a potentially brilliant chance to break by not looking up and then running into a dead end.

 

You are not Diego Maradona.  You don't have to go on a mazy run everytime you get the ball.

 

Stop running like a girl.
