Depends who JBA's replacement wants to keep

To be fair, you do seem like a trouble maker that stweards need to keep an eye on... When we were relegated to the First Division, I used to get searched by the Polis at away grounds on a regular basis. Not sure why other than I often used to have a radio (for the half time scores) in my coat pocket.

I only saw the 2nd half, but he certainly look the part. Always making space, always time to find a man with a pass.

Who knew DT had that header in him?

The Stuart Kettlewell of fans. They either don't realise or don't care how even a very small number acting like that can undo all the great work the club and the Trust do for the community.

English league cup is often where teams start players that normally don't get a game. So let's keep that rumour going!

I'm sure JBA has ideas on strikers. I'm also sure Dykes is not on that list.

Is the clue "Miserable"?

He was so bad, we sacked him again just to be sure.

In January, we need players who already play our system and can hit the ground running. I'm not sure if Turnbull would be ready for that - as much as I'd like to see him back.

Interviewing for the new position tomorrow

Let's give him credit where credit is due. He actually put together a 15 game winless run for us.

Ditto. Would also be happy to see Hearts win the league, but suspect Celtic (with our without a 3rd manger of the season) will spend just enough in January to catch them.

My bet is he'll blame the plastic pitch and lots of VAR.

Pound shop Nostradamus. My next prediction is that Christmas will be the 25th December this year.

SK quickly into a double digit winless run at Killie. Shoogly peg must be working overtime.

We were a little unlucky when Robinson took us to the finals that a good Celtic side were waiting. Every team will be fancying their chances in the Scottish Cup this year, though.

There's no amount we could spend on JBA that an interested rival team couldn't match or exceed. As I have said elsewhere, though, the positive is that JBA is implementing a style that a large number of teams across Europe are playing. So whe the time comes, it should be easier to find someone to keep it going.

Good news - another clean sheet. Bad news - at both ends of the pitch. Take your pick...

Agree that high winds should have games postponed. It ruins matches.

I'm shocked that any Jim Goodwin team would have poor discipline.

Did he not get sent off for abuse when we were playing Rangers too?

I was pretty young when I saw him play, but he was another one that set my expectations high at an early age. With his prolific goal scoring exploits followed shortly afterwards by a Mr. W. Pettigrew, I thought that's how it always worked with centre forwards. (I know better now). I had a few of these bubble gum cards in my collection too

I'd be happy to let Connelly play as he does have some decent first team experience, albeit at a lower level. Plus, in the games he did play this season, he looked very comfortable in our new system with the ball at his feet. I agree, however, we need 3 on the books.

First he said he was taking abuse at Fir Park. When that was questioned he decided that it was his family that was getting abuse at Fir Park. When that was questioned he said it was on social media or his kids at school. I'm sure there were fans telling him he was useless during his long winless spell. I'd be surprised if anyone in the Main Stand was abusing his immediate family (although they may have heard fans yelling at him). Kids getting teased at school because their dad's a football manager sounds like par for the course regardless of what team you manage. If any of that was true, then I agree, there is no place for it - but it sounded more like excuses for his failure, and he didn't want "damage his brand". If he had been like Robinson or McCall, and told the truth that he was no longer able to get a performance from the players despite everything he had tried, I'm sure he would at least have had the respect of most fans. I'm also sure, if his family was taking abuse at Fir Park, the club would have worked with him to stamp it out. Of course, if you are a football manager or player who expects to go through every match without taking a bit of stick when you lose, then you are probably in the wrong profession.
