+1 Apparent on this board that players with genuine ability aren't welcomed at Fir Park.

Short term gain? It's that policy that has us in this position. As for the very least, give it balance, Marc Fitzpatrick fitted the bill of giving our midfield balance whether the porridge dribblers liked the kid or not.

Haud the bus, we've just had around a year of a management team rely on a flawed system that was to the detriment of our own youth development. Why is it seen by many as 'positive' that an injury prone 34 year old is added to the squad? Mr McCall even classed him as a stop gap till the summer... Boyle really has taken his eye off the ball, delegation of his authority has me worried.

That should be in the 'Get Fucked' thread... Anti Football

Eh? Discussed before, I know others agree. Dismantling of the squad every bit as much to do with Davie Hay as it did with Wallace. Chasing an impossible dream in the USA, well, impossible in the fact that no job existed... As for Wallace... "Football is my religion", his salute to the Rangers fans on opening day in 1982, signing Nicky Walker when Annie Walker may have fared better, the list goes on. Had the grave dancing shoes on when he passed away

The game's up for I and many others methinks. Are we planning for SPL 2 so soon?

It was, complaints from those who pay for parking at Knowetop school on matchday went a long way to stopping the sensible solution...

Hung from the crossbar, he's getting hung from the crossbar!

Fuckin' macaroon should be weighing cola-cubes!!!

Eh? That's porridge dribbling that is. So, like others, no matter how the lad performs you'll find criticism... Bravo. With regards comparison as to what the housewives choice and Jennings do - it's about how the midfield unit perform no? For that young Fitzpatrick offers a balance that we've lacked for a long, long time. Great if possible mind, but, left side of midfield isn't all about attacking the opposing right hand side and whipping in crosses with pinpoint accuracy. You've mentioned the stray pass in the first half. Were you aware he wasn't given a call? Hammell, one of our most consistent over the last year even eclipsed his shit Hamilton Accies display, should have progressed from his standing spot. Used up 9 lives? A valuable squad player, better quality replacement would be expected to hit first eleven. Budget constraints, who would you find as an alternative?

Professional performance when I didn't expect it. Jennings bossed for me. Notable mentions to our front pairing who worked their socks off and the much maligned Fitzpatrick - it's been said before, offers a balance that we don't have more often than not. Through ball aside for the 1st, Hammell turned in another poor performance, time for Halsman to return and provide some competition?

They're having a bash... Tayside Police will still say it's unsafe in adjacent streets

Well, the answers naw to the both of 'em. Clarkson family very happy in Bristol and cannot see that happening

Woooahhhh! The matchstick wankers coming from somebody as 'mad' as a scot. Wind your neck in, touch of the no?

Not only that. Check the picture he uses as a signature... Some c*nt has stolen all his right footed shoes! Keep the pictures coming fella, anything that upsets the porridge dribblers most welcome

Gloryhunter? Further compounds the problem no? Understanding of the apathy surrounding football countrywide, but, there are those both with or without the resources who wish to attend games, don't bleat either.

Aye, so you've said... If in the unlikely event we reach the final tie, content to sit and watch on tv? No brainer?

Lost to the game out there. Bit of a maverick, give the kid a free role, letting him damage from where he wants.

Expect the unexpected...

Wish the fella all the best, methinks he'll need it. Mind, could do without another thread from... Blind loyalty isn't always positivity y'all.

Had a Becks this mornin'? That or senility setting in? Much the same as the ridiculous garb shown on the 'all things claret & amber' thread... fookin' horrible and wouldn't be seen dead in that get up.

Sorry, tin hat at the ready. What exactly makes that scouse slogan on a 'Well flag a 'nice touch'? Much disapproval in the establishment I was in last night...

Go on, confirm Brian Kerr (ex Republic head coach) was the international flavour who was on the radar

Maybe not up there with Danmark, but, I'm surprised no mention of our victory at Swinecastle in the sun towards the tail end of last season. Atmosphere? You had it. Tearing them a new arsehole? You had it.

Well, he was at Accies this afternoon... better have them c***s sussed out pronto. No home wins all season? We're a charitable organisation when it comes to things like that
