I did put a “health warning” on my post about the website in question. Anyway, prior to signing for us, Darragh O’Connor was at Leicester City where he was on £2,400 per week. For an English Premiership side that is chicken-feed.

Aye, right ya Joker.

If reports are true, I'm on $100,000 per week and about star in the next Batman movie.

Take a moment, engage your brain, how would a random website have any idea the exact amount we are paying each individual player? Darragh O'Connor being on 2.4k a week tells you that they are indeed talking mince.

Like others, O'Hara leaving isn't the issue I don't think. I am going full tin foil hat mode. The players don't like the boss.

Never rated O'Hara so I'm not too bothered that he's away. One of these players who seemed become better to the longer he was injured. He is no better than Slattery, Goss or Donnelly IMO.

Thanks for info. I honestly couldn't remember that.

Aye it's quite an odd time to be signing a pre contract,I wouldn't be surprised he's took the first opportunity to get out the mess were in with alexander.in all honesty it can't be a great prospect right now for any of our players playing under alexander.

We can't control leaks to the press but we do a stonking happy birthday message to the players on Facebook!! Lol

As much as everyone loves Grimmy’s energy around the place. I think it’s time to move him & Donnelly on. I’d personally like to see us keep Roberts & Justin for next years campaign.

Watt going to United can argue the case till the cows come home. Losing Lamie and Oharra to pisher teams than us does suggest not all the players are onboard with GA. Fair enough if these guys were fringe men but aside from Kelly & VanVeen, they are in our ever rotating starting 11 as much as anyone else

Ohara is one of the few genuine talented players we have. I sort of despair of supporters who don’t recognise this. Everyone has an opinion I suppose. They can’t always be correct like me

appreciate not everyone is a raving fan - personal view he's very decent player and would generally be in my starting 11.

Given the situation we are in, ask yourself - Who game after game instructs the full backs/wing backs to play narrow, surrender the wide areas and concentrate on defending the multitude of crosses that will inevitably come in? Who game after game instructs our defenders to hoof the ball forward in the hope the opposing centre backs cannot head the ball and we might even win the second ball? Who game after game instructs every player to come back to defend free kicks and corners, leaving no out ball should we win the ball? Even the expected hoof ball has no target in those situations. Who game after game sets us up to be outnumbered and overrun in midfield? In fairness, if you bypass midfield that might not an issue when we have the ball. Does anyone genuinely believe it is the players making those decisions? Who thought it clever to play a decent central defender but suspect tackler at wing back in an important cup tie? And then who acts amazed that one piece of poor control and attempted recovery tackle results in a red card? Who game after game leaves our most creative and/or energetic players on the bench or sitting in the stand? Who drops players to the bench that did well when starting the previous match? Who stands watching a substandard performance, chatting it over with his mate for 75 minutes before making a change? Even then any change is like for like and makes no difference to the style of play. Who is prepared to blame the players, pitch, officials, weather, bad luck for every shambolic performance rather than accepting that just perhaps a change off approach now and then might help? Who spouts the same rubbish game after miserable game, but actually says nothing? You can blame the players and the poor quality of Scottish football and our League all you like. But we are stuck with a Manager who is doing nothing to help and in many ways is hanging his players out to dry. His stubbornness, reluctance to attempt a fresh approach when his game plan is failing coupled with his perceived persecution of players who raise questions is harming our Club and turning fans off big time. Somebody said it earlier. " It is now a chore going to watch this team". It is also galling to have to accept that teams such as Livingston, Ross County and St Mirren play far more entertaining football than we do despite operating in the same marketplace and therefore being similarly hampered by the poor quality of player available and the League we have to compete in. We may well escape relegation...just... this season but if Alexander continues with his same approach then we are only heading in one direction.
