I've completely cleared the reporting system of all previous complaints.
Starting from today I've made a note in my calendar to review each and every complaint that's made via the report button (this appears on each forum post) at 0930.
I'll review (and respond) to every complaint made on a daily basis (even if on some occasions I won't be able to make 0930).
If particular forum members are being overly abusive they will be sent to the sin bin for a period of reflection.
If, upon release from the sin bin, they continue to be the subject of reports for being abusive, they will be permanently banned.
All previous sin bin suspensions have now been lifted.
You've been warned. Play nice, or fuck off.

You've sent me 12 messages since I put you in here last Thursday

If you don’t like the way the forum is run you always have a choice.

Cry me a river.

But you did ask me, I can clearly see a question mark here.

He isn't dismissing him, it's not an either or position. Would we have done better in the league cup with Foley, Durmus, etc, yes probably. Should we have done better anyway with the players we had available at the time, yes, probably. 

The tip over the bar was going a clear yard over & Aberdeen hitting the post... well was them hitting the post. Absolute brazen double standards regarding your need for the negative. 
How is the flaw in his logic any different to the flaw in “Aberdeen didnt show up till the second half, dominated the game hitting the post and Hladky tipping one over” 
they dominated the game without forcing any real effort from the keeper. 

Where does it say in this article that Gus’ role was to have a full squad ready for the start of the League Cup?

I had a feeling that you’d made it up and it’s good that you’ve posted the evidence that proves it! [emoji12]

BTB letting his chronic hatred of Gus cloud his judgment. Not for the first, or the last time.

We’ve already built a strong squad and there’s still 3 weeks of the window left with at least one more coming in.

Great job from those behind the scenes [emoji1433]

Leicester City won the Premiership with less than 50% possession in nearly every game.
 
It’s not who has possession that matters, it’s where the ball is that matters.
 
And we had the ball in their net while they didn’t in ours!
 
Their tactic of passing the ball along their defence may have got their possession % up but it didn’t get them any goals!

I have made no attempt to 'categorically' say what has happened, this is the point, you have. You're making a negative assertion that more and more looks like it'll be wrong. 
It would be hypocritical if I argued we know this is going to be a successful season right now in the way you're arguing it's been a failure. Difference is after the last two games, the evidence is getting stronger that you're wrong but we'll see. Let's also remember you've just concluded you can't know your negative assumption, typical of a small number of our fans that go out their way to be a boo boy. 
As for the League cup campaign, can you detail the players in the starting 11s that were not League 2 or above quality please? Upsets happen in football, we accept that but as a team we should have been more than comfortable we had enough to beat those squads. Again Aberdeen Vs St Mirren is very different to this situation given the difference in football levels. As is it different our most senior youth team vs part-time players from the lower league. Do you genuinely not think there's any difference in these levels?
 
 

My day is not complete until some nugget mansplains things like this to me. 🤣
Are you Ricky in disguise?

How do you know we could have signed good players early in the window? Would these players have been as good as the players we signed? Was the job that the Chairman promised the DoF would do was to sign the best players possible before the start of the League Cup campaign?
 
It’s not a binary choice, sign all new players before the start of the League Cup campaign and sign none later in the window!
 
We signed 3 players before the start of the League Cup. We lost 3 players from the sides that beat Dundee United (including Kyle McAllister, who has subsequently rejoined).
 
The players that we had should have been good enough to qualify from that League Cup campaign. Rushing in signings to help us qualify from that group shouldn’t have been an issue!
 

Why has this thread failed?

Awkward [emoji28]

Massive performance there. No failures at all. The business we have done in this window looks absolutely top notch. Once Obika and Durmus are fit they could be great players at this level. Foley is just what that midfield needed and Andreu is a class act. Waters gave a good first impression as well, and Mcloughlin looks a great player, better than Popescu if you ask me.

So now we know what the Director Of Football, Tony Fitzpatrick and all the staff at the club do. 
They take their time and bring good quality players to the club that gets us to the point where we beat Aberdeen and at long last seem to have finally recovered from the disgraceful job that Alan Stubbs did to Jack Ross's team.

Gus must have a good chuckle at this disaster of a thread [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Maybe give the boy a chance to build up his confidence away from the usual boo boys. 

Thats it season tickets cancelled
