  1. I so want to argue against that post... but... ... ... damn... ... spot on!
  2. I fully supported Gus when the popular tide had turned against him... and did so giving him every opportunity to build on what he had achieved. Only when it was patently obvious that we had peaked under his stewardship did I then admit it was time to change. Sadly, despite my every effort to will it otherwise, I an sending a deja vu scenario. Danny has purchased a bit more loyalty thanks to the cup win... but if he can't turn around the blatantly obvious deficiencies then he will have to fall on his sword or be pushed. It would be easy to sit and list criticisms... and that in itself tells a story. I am a firm believer that you employ a manager to manage, and support him to the hilt to do so... allowing him to do it his way and respecting his decisions even if you don't agree with them or fully understand them. I was that way with Danny right up until this season started... before we were fully prepared for it. McGinn was the stand-out player against Newcastle... standing toe to toe with premiership stars and taking them on... ... yet he hasn't been seen since. We know the other concerns... defence... lack of forwards... lack of pace... but something more insidious is also afoot... a cancerous negativity has permeated the support and is also at work among the players. I sensed it in the body language of some last season... it is all the more apparent in the body language of more players this season. It is the managers job to manage that appropriately... whether by a boot up the jacksie or an arm around the shoulder. I'm tired of the platitudes Danny... our wonderful, marvellous support are all tired of the platitudes... ... If your job is untenable because of off-field pressures then say so... if everything is well behind the scenes then the buck stops at your door... and there is very little time to redress the balance before those of us who want to support you have to concede and join with those who are advocating change. Thistle will be no pushovers. They will bring the game to us and use both full backs to attack at every opportunity. They will use a long diagonal for their right back O'Donnell to run onto at an electric pace. I expect us to be prepared and to combat that by playing to our own strengths... playing our best players in their best positions and making sure they understand what is expected of them. This week it's quite simple... win ugly if you have to... but don't dare NOT win!!! Over to you Danny... ...
  3. Don't you mean The The The The The The The Rangers?
  4. Even if they were "forced" and "threatened", they must have had opportunities to contact authorities. There is no way the courts won't hammer them, even if they were "forced", otherwise, what deterrent is there for other idiots that think contributing to ruined lives by being part of a drug supply chain is easy cash.
  5. Lee... does the club not have a policy about posting comments about fellow players on forums?
  6. Nice one... I made a schoolboy error and didn't notice Chelseas second match!
  7. Singing? Cut that out immediately! You'll create an atmosphere! !!
  8. We just paid 33.6k for a wheelchair accessible bus for our daycare centre. Our local community transport has two fairly new busses... neither of which have wheelchair access. I find that appalling and staggering.
  9. Because the season will be four weeks old this weekend and we are not good enough to give other clubs a head start. We should have been ready to start our season at the start of the season.
