Toshney for Ross County has got Arquin sent off. Joke reaction from that pretender. Great save for Ridgers, good on him repaying GT who could have dropped him after last week

Said after game last week that he should get the job, it has to be done at start of week to give a further boost before the important games next week. Hopefully there is still some budget for a player or two to freshen things up

Superb, great result, and the way it panned out will be an absolute boot in the swingers to County and Motherwell

Its hard to really judge how many points we can get until the end of the window and some new faces have been brought in. As it stands IMO we will finish bottom 2 witht he squad we have, but if GT (or A.N. Other) can somehow find a decent centre half and a striker to get something in the area of a goal every 2 games then we certainly have a chance of catching motherwell and pulling away from county. I also think less than 38 points will do it. One of us, Motherwell or Ross county will go on a bit of a run at some point, hopefully we can bring in the right players and it will be us.

Think Andy Newport used to cover saints for the PDE now works for press association.

Also, a new manager would need time to assess the squad and time is what we have very little of.

I would give it to Teale til end of the season. The squad is a mess and needs improving. I would happily take a punt on teale getting it right with a few signings than get a new manager in and it means one less signing. Either way something needs to happen this week. Can't believe how shite the squad is, Tommy Craig (and those who appointed him need to share the blame) has really done us over this season.

Edited as i read it wrong!!! I guess the change in manager wont have helped, further reason why the board waited far too long to get rid of Craig

yeah possibly Marwood must be outstanding in training then, and maybe Ball doesnt look like hes towing a caravan.

Feel sorry for Ross actually. 2 really good goals against dunfermline and never given a chance. compare with Marwood whos had loads of starts and done nothing in any of them. Not saying Ross Caldwell would have been the answer but he would have been better than Marwood. Tommys signings really were f**king dreadful!!!

cant see him playing many more games for us to be honest, hope im wrong though.

FFS it implies nothing, its clearly a joke

So what are you going to organise?? Or are you just going to keep moaning and not back it up with actions?

Time for the BOD to get a new manager appointed.we need some new signings and get some players out of the club. We desperately need a replacement for McAusland and another striker. No more putting it off, get the CVs reviewed, interviews arranged for next week

Sheffield Uniteds offer was no where near that, it was well less than £100k. if the club had been offered £400k McGinn would have been off to Sheffield in a flash (assuming he would have wanted to go obviously)

Tommy Craig had loads of experience, young managers in the league like Hartley, Neil and McNamara were able to rip the pish out him tactically. We should be looking long term so that if relegation happens we can keep some consistancy.

Considering hes an experienced member of the squad (and vice captain), and I would believe, one of the top 5 earners. being a top 10 performer isnt exactly a compliment. As hes our only natural centre half he wont be dropped anytime soon. When the new manager comes in I hope its the first area he looks at to improve.

It still annoys me he wasnt punted earlier if Im being honest, it was a complete car crash appointment, so we are now left with all his dud signings, with zero confidence where a new man could have possibly lifted us, espeically with a home game v st johnstone and an away game v accies like we had a few weeks ago anyway, onwards and upwards, i would rather we go for a long term appointment (ive said previously my prefence would be Murray) It going to be tough to avoid a bottom two finish with the points we have and points we would need to survive, so for that reason, and the fact the short term options arent exaclty encouraging I would bring someone in, like an Ian Murray and give them time.

One thing that is clear is that there is plenty of shite managers out there. Some of the experienced names mentioned are not exciting whatsoever. My choice, would be Ian Murray, done a very good job with dumbarton, is a fresh start and doesnt come with the baggage that a Calderwood or Adams brings.

Unfortunately due to the clusterf**k of a squad that Craig left us with he is our only actual centre half, so despite being no where near good enough he will be in until we can strengthen in January!

Sounds like a man going through the motions looking for a payoff. Absolutely disgraceful.

I would go for Murray, done a great job at Dumbarton, won't be mates with any of the current players so can start afresh. I'm surprised Derek Adams hasn't been getting more of a mention in press etc, I can't stand the little scrotum, but has more recent SPL experience than Calderwood.

I think we are accepting that the club won't pay serious compensation for anyone, did Neil not sign a new deal not long ago?

To be honest, I think your splitting hairs, folk couldn't believe he had been appointed full stop. But yes I remember plenty being pretty amazed he managed to get a 2 year deal
