We should not be looking to sign a player with a worse goal-per-game ratio than the player we just moved on for being shite. Main (71 in 434) - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/curtis-main/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/77715 Wilkinson (72 in 328) - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-wilkinson/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/228791

Let's see how he does in his second transfer window. If it's anything like his first, we're in trouble and he’ll be gone by summer.

I can't disagree with your sentiment here; however, it's already clear to me that Kettlewell will never achieve what Robinson did with Motherwell.

In my opinion, neither has more influence/clout than the other, but we can all have different opinions on this, likely as a direct consequence of our varied backgrounds and experiences. However, what I don't think is disputed is that it's clear that both have more influence than they should have in football etc. It’s the stain of Central Scotland’s religious tribalism that gives rise to, feeds, and appeases that influence. It's pervasive, nauseating and embarrassing. Much like my personal views on church and state, football and religion should be at a stage now where it can be and should be separate, but that's almost impossible for football culture in Central Scotland due to its social and political history. As a consequence, the collective Catholic and Protestant victim/conspiracy/etc voices will always be heard the loudest in a Scottish football context, and that's unfortunately how it is these days.

Ditto. I’m enough of a prick as is.

I've got a Celtic-supporting friend who spends his life tweeting about Rangers, be it trolling them or retweeting things, etc., as he calls them out for their conspiracy theory bollox and their apparent obsession with decisions/stories affecting Celtic. The sad thing is that, in doing what he does, he fails to see how obsessed he appears to be with Rangers rather than focusing on Celtic. It's like watching a wall fight with a wall as both try to convince each other and themselves that they're not a wall. The hypocrisy, wanton ignorance, and irony are staggering, and they're no different from each other in that sense. Pathetic.

And every forum is also full of delusional happy clappers.

He's a poor manager, and that unnecessary comment about Gent epitomises his lack of managerial skills.

I was being sarcastic and, unsurprisingly, it shot over most heads on here.

Kettlewell will be sacked. But you lads can keep fighting for him.

You can't handle the truth.

Alright, I'm sorry.

Are you taking the piss? I think you might be. I've been flying the KVV flag for some time. Or you're a cunt. 😘

Jesus Christ lads. The happy clap is strong amongst you. I'm bowing out.

Happy clapper. But that's okay. We need you.

Be honest with yourself.

I measure Kettlewell on this season. It was KVV who saved us last season.

I don't dislike him; I don't rate him.

Poor management.

Since we beat Hearts 0-1 on 3rd September, we’ve only won 1 game since against Livi. That's 4 months of almost complete failure, and I've no idea how anyone can defend that record and think Kettlewell is the manager for us.

Two assists today.

Bring on Luca Ross for Paton and go 3 up top. Bring McGinley on to LCB, move McGinn to RCB and SOD to RWB, and then bring Slattery off and put Spittal there. Simple.

No, but SK has limited choices in midfield because he wasted money on the likes of Wilkinson and Shaw. As I've said elsewhere, a lot of our major failings are entirely on him.

Spittal is only good when he's linking up with players in front of goal.
