Lord Pityme Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 What mystifies me is posters insisting, despite all the results and evidence to the contrary that we have improved this season.? an improvement would be sitting in tenth spot with a four point or more gap on 11th. If Oran can get there, then... he will have improved us. If he avoids relegation in the play offs, then he has at least steadied us. If we drop straight down, then he has had a fortune to play with and been unable to turn that backing into results. In that scenario it would make no sense to give him more money and the opportunity next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him also always balanced and to the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that had been Sutton, (even if he hadn’t meant it in such terms) he’d have come back and stoked the fire even more just for sport.

I don't remember hearing anything along those lines at all. Sure I heard a few chants, but think it was at the start of the game when the teams came out.

Fair play to him on responding. As IOBS stated looking from the outside can give off some false beliefs. We had those condemning us for ousting Stubbs but most of us agree it was needed. Outsiders may think Kearney has been shite but we’ve seen a different St Mirren and we’ve seen a better quality of player come in since the moment we signed big Anton. After all I wouldn’t claim to know more about Hibs than a Hibs fan or know more about Killie than a Killie fan, even if I was a journo. It can be difficult looking in from the outside and sometimes you just go on assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer john Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I was annoyed to hear Tam McManus making the point, more than once, that the game was Jim Goodwin's job interview....and that he had passed. That was just before it all turned around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the barrhead teacher Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Tonight's patter was the usual on radio Scotland. All it allows is for pundits to try and get a reaction. If anyone should have been annoyed by it would the focus not be more on the suggestion that big gus was brought in with the clear intention of being there to take over as soon as? Filling airtime more like and trying to show balance by mentioning some of the diddy teams instead of their usual worship of old firm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Context ya fanny. Listening tonight and just wondered why no journalist has ever dug deeper on the Stubbs ‘era’? Instead of passing comment on his treatment, maybe they could find the real story? Perhaps they could uncover something inherently wrong with fitba? But naw, that would mean doing some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know what went on but have read from a few source online that it will come out why Stubbs got sacked. Fitzpatrick touches on it in his autobiography. Stubbs read online McIntyre was lined up to replace Stubbs. Stubbs phones Fitzpatrick asking if this was true. Tony told Stubbs it was not true. To cut it short Stubbs asked Tony to phone the directors which came to an ultimatum from Stubbs the board rejected his ultimatum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that is all known, and was reported in the press at the time. What we keep hearing is there is " other, non football/results reasons for him getting the sack" but nothing ever materlises, and history shows us its likely nothing ever will. in short its a bit of a ruse to try and deflect from the huge clusterf**k the board made in appointing, then sacking him after what? Three months.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three months.. I agree the board need to shoulder the blame in the whole thing also. However, wasn't there something re: Josh Heaton? I heard a rumor, maybe read it on here actually, that there was some alternative narrative to his signing. Anyway, like you say it could all be bullshit and hearsay, intriguing none the less.
