Or an unlikely narrow win, we seem to like very late goals this season. (Head still saying we'll get pumped though 😁)
-
Pish we need stability we are very unlikely to have a new manager In place till after the transfer window closes, so anybody new will still be working with the dross we have now. The situation is not desperate just now , but not far off it, let's see who we can bring in during the window and give SK a change to see what he's really made of and get us winning again. We are only 2 or 3 wins away from bothering the Euro spots so no need for panic or tsunami pant wetting just yet.

8 years ago, Celtic beaten and we have 3 Motherwell legends with 140 goals between them in the same picture, now we have Wilkinson, Obika and Bair FFS😭😭
-
Directors / board members ie not an experienced professional or if you like not very good at running a football club.
-
Agreed but if the club feels the need to have a women's team fair enough if it's self funding etc and is not taking away funds from the mens team. The standard of the women's game is shocking and for me the whole thing is a box ticking exercise to show how inclusive the club is etc. But the reality is that the no doubt the money allocated to run the women's team ,I've heard 250k a year mentioned but that might be way off, could have been better spent on better players for the 1st team, or improving the stadium, recruiting staff etc.
-
I know mate I'm the same it will happen one day, probably the game I won't make, but I'm not expecting a win on Sunday but it would not surprise me if we did.
-
It's been evident for a while now, especially since Burrows left that the club was not moving in the right direction, the shambles around dumping Alexander and a rushed bad appointment of Hammell, no replacement CEO appointed, signing off on dubious recruitment advice during the summer etc etc. Maybe the club have finally realised that some changes are required and this is the 1st step, it will be Interesting to see how it develops as the club needs to get back on track both on and off the park.
-
As I said in an earlier post "if carlsberg done Christmas" it would be a win for us on Christmas eve, we've got to get a league win against them sometime so why not on Sunday, how much would that cheer everyone up, 2-1 for the good guys with an added time winner just to get it right up them. 😀
-
Pish, how much money a club is willing to pay out in wages to players is no guarantee of their quality or ability, the whole English set up is a house of cards, all of them spending the sky billions and particularly in the lower leagues offering ridiculous wages to bang average at best players, they may be well paid but but they are not all that good at football. You can't blame the players for taking the money, that's why very few of them come to Scotland and we can't compete because the Scottish clubs with a few exceptions try to live within their means. I wonder how Morecambe's wage bill would compare to ours, and look how pish theve been.
-
I think it's because the English leagues and European games are almost exclusively what people see on TV in the UK, so they have very limited or no knowledge of any other leagues.
-
Again based on what, if you make a statement saying the standard is poor in the SPL what league are you comparing it with? Every league in the world has shite games, unforced errors, bad referees, average players, boring turgid 0-0 draws etc etc, the SPL is no different but it is what it is. The SPL may not be populated by world class players but that's the same for the vast majority of leagues all over the world, so don't knock what we have here.
-
Agreed he's a tosser but 100% correct on what he said, based on what? He was punted from a league 2 side in England because they were shite is he expecting people to believe that the standard there is better than the SPL. Every side in league 2 in England would be relegation fodder in the SPL, and probably a few in league 1 as well. It's only when you get to championship and premiership level in England that the standard is better. The SPL is what it is, and statements like "the standard is shocking" are irrelevant unless you are comparing like for like.
-
Agreed, he just sounded like a prick on Sportscene, Faddy called him out though reminding him that his previous club were nowhere near SPl standard.
-
Only 2 defeats in the last 7 games and going by the sportscene highlights we should have won today, Blair Spittal ffs how did you not score. So it's not all doom and gloom for me, yes it's a long time without a win but I reckon we will turn it round, those 5 points from the draws have kept us only a couple of wins away from threatening the top 6, so we're Still in the mix so keep the faith. If carlsberg done Christmas our long awaited win will be at Fir Park on Christmas eve.
-
He got a result last week, and the same again today, 1st rule if your not getting 3 points make sure you get 1.
-
If true it would not surprise me, in a better team with more service to him Shankland will do well, as for KVV if he's back to Scotland on loan or permanently it will be for more money than we can offer so why not Tynecastle
-
I'm not a member of the WS, so I don't know what comms the members get on a regular basis but I suspect it's not the best. The WS reps on the board should know the views of the members on major topics being discussed by the club as that's the only way they can legitimately claim to have a mandate to represent them.
-
We don't need in depth commercially sensitive information its not rocket science ffs, a simple "the club is looking at possible new training facilities " or "the club are carrying out a feasibility study on a possible relocation to a new stadium" General info that gives the fanbase an insight Into the general direction the club is going, that's all that's needed here, especially for WS members contributing financially. The WS are the majority shareholders ffs nothing should be signed off without their approval, I know that means asking the membership their views etc but if its not done then its just ad another poster said " keep giving us your cash every month, technically you'll be in charge but In reality we'll make the decisions and you have no say.
-
Thats true they are in a minority but they are the majority shareholders reps on the board so they should be asking the hard questions about the way the club is run, future direction etc thats their role. i get the impression that they are happy with their positions on the board but won't put their heads above the parapet to question anything that may jepordise their position, if that's the case then what's the point of having reps on the board who never get involved. Their job should be to make sure the views and concerns of the majority shareholder ie the WS members are known, and put to the board etc for discussion. Yes the other board members might vote them down but then again they might not if the case us persuasive enough, for me thats true fan ownership.
-
Agree with that but he's only going to get that benefit if we sign some in the transfer window, and presumably that means clearing out some of the current dross to free up wages.
-
I agree the Killie pitch is a disgrace the vast majority of their points every season are gained at home,they ended up playing over 10 mins of added time. To be fair though they deserved the win, Celtic were shite.
-
That may be true but for me he will be more of a threat and provide more decent chances for Biereth than Obika will
-
Because he effectively gained us a point yesterday by making a great save to stop us going 2-0 down
-
I take your point but from the position we are in we don't have the luxury of having a "bedding in period" nothing sticks to Obika, and on the odd occasion he get the ball down and under control he's never gets a pass away to anyone running on etc, his positional sense is shocking, we saw 70 mins of nothing from him yesterday.
-
We need to start with Bair and Biereth up top, Bair has more pace and holds the ball up better, Obika is feckin hopeless and offers nothing. For me that's the front two most likely to create chances and take them.
