I always said Brown should be have been punted at the end of his first season. He did the job he came for (to add a wee bit of stability), but was a poor decision to keep him on after that as he was never the man the take the club forward.

There no such thing as a bogey team in terms of luck (or voodoo or whatever you want to call it), but there are definitely teams who play a style that we find difficult to beat regardless of their current form. St. Mirren have been one of those teams in recent times, as have Kilmarnock.

Aye, a dig around the internet shows that he officially joined us on May 17th 2006 and was given the boot on June 1st, 2007. So he did have a full season in charge. In which case his SPL points average was exactly 1 per game (38 from 38 games).

They can't be trusted though. They have the right, but they can't be trusted. Granted it was a few years ago, but the last Milwall game I was at (where booze was on sale inside the stadium), a large group of their fans ripped off the seats and started chucking them onto the pitch at the end of the game.

I honestly don't remember - I seem to have blanked out that season! Now I'm at home I'll have a poke around the statto sites.

Quite possibly, but it was all I had access to via the office VPN.

That would be true if the stats I looked at hadn't read that he won 10 and drew 7 from 35. By my reckoning that is 37 points from 35 games. If wiki has those stats wrong, then I take no responsibility

Malpas has a better win% but lost over half his games in charge (losing 18 out of 35) Gannon has a slightly weaker win% but lost less than a third of his games in charge (losing 5 out of 17) Gannon had a better points per game stat (1.18) vs Malpas (1.06). EDIT: That's based on the stats on wiki, but I imagine they are correct.

He did some good things. He did some crap things. The team was better when he left it than when he inherited it. It's all history now.

Aye, and McCall could have someone else doing his managing for him.

I think they run that Alzheimer programme for us.

Probably end up in the "Transfer Thread - Other than Motherwell's": up the corridor, first door on the left.

We've got freedom of speech here if that's what you mean. None of that "you can't say nasty things at the football or you'll get arrested" crap. (Obama's not even as liberal as Cameron, though)

I gave Kirky the benefit of the doubt in the Cup Semi against Celtic, so I'll give Lee the same!

Not sure if this is the best thread so mods feel free to move it. But here are Erwin's goals from the weekend. Two sweet strikes, but the second must already be a contender for League 1 goal of season. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6La9SbOEHBw

That's exactly the kind of sentiment a progressive family club like ours is trying to portray.

Panic signings tend to happen towards the end of the window.

I use Dolphin browser on my Note 2 and it works fine. I did need to enable Flash in the settings.

Is that no' against SPFL rules?

Aye, but none of that has anything to do with the original contention that Butcher's signing ethos is better than McCall's approach.

Way too early in the season for 'real tests' IMO. Real tests come at the end of the season which, thankfully, in recent times, we have passed (Scottish Cup Final aside).

It has also never seen them finish above us, so I'm happy to stick with the ethos we have.

Which signings do you think McCall should not have made?

Due to similar reasoning, I was quote happy to see Dundee Utd and Aberdeen win the league when they broke the OF dominance. Don't care about them now, of course, but it made for a nice change back then. They were also responsible for some great Scottish performances in Europe at the same time.

Give us a clue.
