  1. Regarding McFadden, I remember during one of his interviews soon after his appointment, Robinson said that he would remain as assistant until the end of the season. Which made me think the plan was for him to bring in his own man after that.
  2. Great job as always, lads.
  3. Anyone who could have passed the ball into space ahead of Cadden, Frear or Ainsworth would have got my vote. So a Null from me.
  4. Tickets on sale today according to club's official twitter.
  5. Most teams need to score 2 goals to get a result. We have failed to score 2 in far too many games this season - in fact in something like 23 of our league games this season we have scored 1 or less. Not the way you win games in our league.
  6. He's probably not. But they aren't going to appoint the best one to our game every week. So we need a deeper pool of talent and, going back to my original point, I don't see anyone in power working to create that pool (including, like you say, accountability).
  7. At least he was good enough to have faded away. Most of our first team started off faded and got worse from there.
  8. Not only that, but as he mentioned in his interview, a task he's never had to perform during his professional career. And I imagine, one we weren't expecting to perform when we signed him.
  9. Need to stop just pinning the blame on the defence. Our "goals for" tally has been dismal too.
  10. I don't disagree, but this crop is supposedly the best we've got. The challenge is how do we make them better? It should be possible, but like most of the flaws in our game, the authorities rarely have the appetite for long term changes.
  11. White shorts are the business.
  12. Me either, but Bob Malcolm came close.
  13. The teams that finished "best of the rest" were built during an era where we wouldn't even pay transfer fees, so I'm not convinced it's major investment that will fix things. We rode our luck in that era too in with respect to injuries and suspensions, and along with poor form, that his hurt us again this season. It's a black art siging players that are going to gel and get the best from each other. Even the big EPL teams struggle with that. I think I heard that financially we could maintain the same budget for one year if we were relegated, but let's hope we don't test that theory.
  14. If Baptie had retired after his first home game with us, he'd have been a legend.
  15. And if your appeal fails, they can add games to your suspension, can't they? Or did I just make that up?
  16. Never going to change. Scottish football is run for the benefit of the Old Firm.
  17. I don't care how many duffers brother Jim may have sent our way. We had our revenge when we beat them to win the cup and, while not a direct transfer, Ferguson opened the scoring.
  18. The great thing about football is the 5 - 1 gubbing is history and we get another shot at a win. The fixtures have been kind to us, so now it's up to the players to capitalise. I think we will do what we did in the last game and hit them hard from the kick-off. Just hope we don't ease off this time after we take the lead.
  19. Pretty much. We just had some bad luck with injuries across the first team squad and the U20s.
  20. Nah, I thought Wright was decent enough for us too.
  21. Wasn't his worst mistake, but probably his most costly.
  22. I've always felt that if we are taking players on loan, keeper is the prime position to fill with a loanee. I think because they are least likely to be sold on for a profit. As always, however, it boils down to how many positions we need to fill, what our budget is, and who's available.
  23. Aye, it's a pity we ran out of time to sign him during the summer window. I know one player doesn't make a team, but as a straight swap for Marv, I think he'd have made a positive difference to our season.
  24. I was wondering that myself. Or if we only receive percentages of transfer fees. Or if our add-ons have expired. I'm sure someone from the club could fill us in.
