Lex reacted to div in St Mirren's New Manager Is Tommy Craig
He was competent enough to be assistant to Chris Coleman in the Welsh National Team.
I read a lot of his stuff and think he talks a lot of sense about the game.
Just my opinion, I reckon he's a good candidate.

Alan Archibald and Allan Johnston had less experience than Ian Murray has going into this season. Didn't stop both of their teams having very similar seasons to us.
What's the point in having an experienced manager when inexperienced managers like Archibald and AJ can come into the league and match him right away?

It's the right decision.
I know there's a lot of people scared of change on here and I know he has a lot of supporters.
However, there was no case for him to get a new deal, and any rational examination of the facts showed this.
Therefore I'm glad the board have came to the obvious and correct conclusion.
Danny leaves with his head held high and our best wishes. We must now move on, the new era starts now.

Good point. He's got that team of young lads really well drilled, they've improved markedly over the season.

Lex got a reaction from barney in Danny Lennon - 4 Season League & Cup Report Card
2010/2011
The infamous summer of Beath. Danny comes straight from the 2nd Division and seems to believe the players who done a job for him there will do a job for him in the big league.
Not surprisingly, the result is a disgrace of a campaign and failure in both cups. A combination of Michael Higdon and a terrible Hamilton side somehow keep us above 12th.
2011/12
Danny seemed to have learned his lesson in the transfer market, and recruits some top players. Thompson, Carey, Teale, Hasselbaink, Tesselaar all arrive and succeed to some degree, McLean comes onto the scene.
However, the team continues to underachieve. We can't get near the top 6, much less in it, and we flop at home to Ayr United in the League Cup.
12/13
We regress alarmingly in the league, going from 8th and comfortable the season before to 11th and nervous. The attention from this is diverted by 5 games and a glorious cup win.
The glory and performance levels in the cups goes further to highlight the infuriating lack of consistency the team is displaying. 1 week we are losing 4-1 at home to Ross County, the next we are beating Celtic at Hampden.
13/14
Danny's cup win grants him a stay of execution and one last chance at taking the club forward. He fails. A complete mess of a summer transfer window sees us lose 5 of our first 6 games and crash out the league cup to lower league opponents. He goes someway to rectify his mistakes in January, punting all but one of his summer duds out the door, at the clubs expense. Not surprisingly results improve.
For the fourth season running we are nowhere near the top 6, and spend most of the campaign in or around 11th. Thankfully we turn it around in 5 crucial end of season games and secure our safety for another season.
However, our captain regards it as yet another season of underachievement.
My conclusion is that, apart from the Cup win, Danny's reign has been a failure. We are regressing not progressing. I really can't see how any Buddie thinks he has a case for a new contract.

Lex reacted to Isabella Duke in The Referendum Thread
I've never understood this stuff about poverty.
My mother-in-law spent most of her working life on benefits as a single parent. She was on disability. Not that she actually had a disability, she just said that working wasn't worthwhile for the wages on offer.
She's now a pensioner on a state pension (paid for by NI credits after her years on disability benefit). She also gets pension credit, council tax benefit and housing benefit.
She's just booked up to got to Majorca in August - as she usually does. It's her second holiday this year.
My wife laughs when she ever reads any mention of poverty. Her upbringing was about the 'poorest' level there is... but she didn't think she was poor. Now that she has cash she still doesn't look back on her childhood as living in poverty. I met her when we were both 16. I certainly don't remember her being 'poor'. Indeed, she used to save up money she got back then for attending school so she could also go on holiday! She had more cash than me.
Poverty indeed...
It doesn't exist in the UK. Anyone who is 'poor' is 'poor' because they squander their cash on drink and drugs.

Lex got a reaction from car-d bud in New Contract For Lennon - Got To Be 2 Years
It is my opinion that his contract shouldn't be renewed, and I've said that all season. He got too much too badly wrong in the summer, and I don't want us being in that situation again.
However I do appreciate the opinion of those who think he should stay, and I do appreciate the fact that he is a club legend.

I`d prefer to see Magennis play in a different position. Somewhere like Pittodrie would do.

Let's say, let's imagine, let's kid on...
6th place this season has 53 points. We're a long way off the pace.
