We should still be qualifying from the group though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys who fork out money to watch us getting fit? The club who could do with the cash? A cop out to overshadow the situation that Goodwin finds himself in, up the creek with no money. Aye, we should be qualifying from this pathetic group but it looks like we're not going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my opinion based on what I think is pretty obvious.Up the creek with no money appears to be your opinion but can you back it up?

It's obvious we need additional players so Goodwin is "up the creek".....................a point I made some time ago when it was obvious the back room staff were supposed to have things under control. If we have cash why are we unable to sign the quality and quantity of players we obviously need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we like it or not the fact is this stage of the tournament is taking place pre season and it will always be treated with an element of pre season atmosphere to it. The sooner the spfl ditch this shite format the better. The attendances speak for themselves. Surely that's a huge and clear indication that the fans aren't interested and this new format has fallen flat on its face. The fact that a team can win a national tournament by playing 4 games of football is a total joke as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to be a professional football club and should have been preparing for this Tournament as soon as last season finished, if not before.

Personally, I like the format and bringing in other teams. It's hardly their fault if we are unprepared. I'm not keen though on our European Representatives being able to host glamour friendlies during the early stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
