Wasn't saying I would rather have their squad (thanks ??), just pointing out he turned it round with a complete squad overhaul. Kept them up from a seemingly impossible position then got promotion. The fact Stubbs came in and made a right royal erse of it by sidelining a lot of that squad and falling out with all and sundry, meant there was more to their downturn than losing Morgan and doesn't deflect from the point that a January window can turn around things even without millions spent.

'but January transfers are never going to fix any team's problems unless you have tens of millions to spend' Jack Ross at St Mirren turned over virtually a full team in a January transfer window when they were rock bottom of championship, and I doubt he spent a huge amount of money, so it can be done, although you could argue they had nowt to lose at the time Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

I think we need to take off our Claret and Amber specs somewhat. The only person to blame for the red card is Mbulu. If he hadn't stupidly barged Cowie, then Cowie would not have done his dying swan routine, and the ref would not have had a decision to make. Thoroughly enjoyed the game. County were a big step up on Sligo, and the boys performed admirally, Livingstone's free kick was quite special. I liked the attitude of the team with 10 men, heads did not go down. The future is bright, although at the moment I think only Maguire, Hastie and Livingstone are ready to get their chance. I like Scott, Krones, and Watson and hopefully they and the others will continue to develop. No failures on the day, other than big Christian (who was playing well) for his moment of stupidity.

Yeah listened to that, very interesting, guy is completely off the wall, found parts quite sad as well, as you say later on. Agree well worth a listen (but not within earshot of kids!!) Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Picked the right weekend to go away, just back and watched 'highlights" First off, no excuse for a 7 goal collapse, can't defend that and won't try. McHugh's first yellow was an absolute joke, and only given because of the antics of that snivelling little runt Morelos. Even the Sportscene 'experts' disagreed on the penalty, we would have wanted it, but it was not hand to ball, and there is no doubt that was the game right there. The joke first yellow then ensures a red. Should have had a stonewall penalty for Tavernier on Rose, not that it would have made any difference but yet again highlights Thomsons ineptitude. However maybe all that is a valid excuse for getting beat, but it is not a valid excuse for shipping 7, pretty simple goals. I am disappointed though at the vitriol being hurled in McHugh and Robbo's direction. McHugh is a decent player and like all of us has shortcomings, but doesn't deserve the level of abuse being directed his way. Robbo has questions to answer, no doubt about it, but the barely disguised glee in the way some keyboard warriors across social media are creaming themselves with outrage is sad. Make no mistake this is a pivotal moment for our club. Be careful what you wish for, as St Mirren, Dunfermline and Falkirk fans can testify. Turning on those in charge with cringeworthy post match fan demos will be the start of a bigger slide. As a point of perspective St Johnstone got beat at home by the same 6 goal margin after a less than inspiring start to the season. No red cards or dodgy decisions. No panic there, and they win their next 5 without losing a goal. Given our forthcoming programme thats not likely for us, but it shows that it is possible to get back on track quickly. Robbo is under pressure and deservedly so. Recruitment and tactics have been found wanting, and if he can't improve things then yes he will go. The question is how long can he be given to turn it round, and will mob mentality create a distracting circus that further affects the team. Worrying times, cool heads needed, I personally hope the next 2 results are positive, but even if they were I fear now Robbo is only ever going to be 1 poor performance away from the sort of backlash we are now seeing. Given the state of Dundee and St Mirren we will not be cut adrift, so I think he should be given to xmas, and if no improvement then change has to come in time for January window, trouble is some of our 'support' will be wishing just for that.

Ah you are back then, now that things are going against us, funny that Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Maybe but winning the 2 play off games were the most important of all of them. It is astonishing that at 1 nil dow n with 82 mins to go posters write the team off. Glad the players mentality is stronger Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Sadly 6-0 for Hibs at HT. Hope there can be damage limitation in 2nd half, girls don't deserve to finish a great season with a gubbing. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Stop shipping so many goals?? The issue has been more that we don't score more. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Scottish Youth Cup Winning Team April 2016

And 4 played on Wed night Cadden, Campbell, Turnbull, and Maguire. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk -
I agree the vocal support they have provided over the last few years has been much needed, but recently their antics have taken on a more malevolent feel, and it was more than 'one or two' acting like f###wits last night. If you think that because they make noise at games then thats OK, fair enough, but I can't agree with you. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Agree its definitely a trend (and not just at mwell), but the club has taken action, banning those who caused trouble against Sligo. f###wits coming into the ground tonight acting like big shots just looked like pathetic wee boys Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

When we are 'safe' I tend to miss some games/pick and choose but when we are in the sh#t I always go. Bit of a masochist I know, but no matter how bad we get, when the chips are down I just feel we got to support our club. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Sorry lad, I like Chris, but as he has not kicked on this season(not all his fault) getting a 600k dev fee is as much as we can expect. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Possibly although the twice I have seen him playing there he was outstanding. Perhaps they want to give him more game time in what is a new position I don't know but I understand he is rated and was on the bench on Saturday. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

He is but has been playing mainly defensive midfield for reserves (and doing it very well) as seemingly thats where Robbo see his future.. He did play at centre back though against Sligo as Krones injured Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

If we went back 4 I would like to see Dunne at centre back which is a position the player himself likes. A back 4 of Tait McHugh Dunne Livingstone would work. I remember getting pelters from some for suggesting prior to Killie away last season we go with Kipre and Dunne in centre of a back 4, which we actually did with Tait and Hammell as full backs. Defensively we were solid that day only losing 1 nil cos young Russell Griffiths flapped at a cross. You have options also with Maguire (who can also play defensive mid) and Mbulu. It has to change. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing every time and expecting a different result. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

2018’19 Game 9: St Johnstone (H) Saturday 20th October 2018
Clackscat replied to Welldaft Mk1's topic in Club Chat
Some chat on facebook that some were banned and rest walked but noticeable by their absence. Home crowd was 300 down on Livi game. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk -
I get what you are saying, but Sammon and Johnson got much needed game time and came off after an hour, the youngsters had a tough game on Saturday, and Scott and Agyman both got a run out, Sammon scores twice which will do him good, we score 5, Broque Watson was outstanding, Mbulu strolls it and scores again, Livingston scores a cracker, oh and by the way Turnbull and Maguire weren't there as they were training with the first team today, one would presume they will feature on Saturday. I would say thats all pretty positive wouldn't you? Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

He has proved himself to operate at the level we all thought. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Was Livingstone made the tackle, I thought he was studs up as well but the ref gave us the foul, Sligo didn't complain and when Livingstone went over to the guy on the stretcher there seemed no ill feeling.. I thought Livingstone was superb today as was Hastie and Maguire. Mbulu took his goal well, dominated in the air and had a few terrific blocks, but got turned twice and was sloppy in possession a few times, but potential is there. No failures and as others have said a joy to watch. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Can't disagree with a lot of that except perhaps Rodriguez Gorin who hasn't really had a chance due to Bigi's return to the fold. I do wish though folks on social media would not use disparaging comments re individuals. These are human beings trying to make a living, and just because they might not be to your taste or standard as footballers does not mean they are 'numpties'. Would you walk up to any of them face to face and call them a numpty? Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk
