Happy Dosser 217 Report post Posted February 28, 2021 I actually thought the officious wee steward who was tailgating GA on the way to the stand was cruising for a bruising yesterday. Thankfully, our manager just gave him the Death Stare. As usual, I have to ask if Stevie G or Neil Lennon would have been sent off for questioning decisions in such a manner? I worry about our manager. He seems to have aged about ten years in four weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

couttsy 91 Report post Posted March 5, 2021 Listening to Clyde tonight and they’re going on and on about Gerrard being offered a one game ban for his red the other night. Anyone know why we’ve heard nothing about GA given he has been sent off twice in the last month?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiddy 190 Report post Posted March 6, 2021 quite like the vibes GA is giving out with his loyalty to players and just the way he speaks + heez passionate about MFC hence he ends up in the stand long may it continue 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Wispy Flossy 386 Report post Posted March 6, 2021 5 wins in 12 (I think) that’s a good return from Alexander. Bar the two ckusterfucks against accies and st Johnstone we’ve been decent in most games tommy Wright not looking the safest pair of hands at killie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texanwellfan 606 Report post Posted March 6, 2021 Getting a god return from the January window. Kelly is immense and Robert’s making a difference up front. Mcgloire stepping in and holding up well at the back along side Lamie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davkel 19 Report post Posted March 6, 2021 Thought it was really interesting to see that the gaffer has changed over the dugouts...wish someone had asked him the reasoning behind the move... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commentary thought it's so he could get closer to the linesman. Given the 2 red cards, no sure about the wisdom of that move. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mind might be playing tricks - it was a long time ago, but I'm sure that was the side Ian St John had a box built above the dugout, for that actual reason. That and the fact he could actually see what was happening on the park. Can't remember when the move was made back to the current (well prior to yesterday) arrangement. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct Ian St John had a box built above that dugout when he was manager. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kmcalpin 1,184 Report post Posted March 7, 2021 The jury is still out on Graham Alexander for me, but he's beginning to impress. His first piority surely, is to keep us in the Premiership and he's certainly improved results and performances, despite a 1 in 200 year injury list. With a very few exceptions, he's used the same players as Robbo but has them playing more confidently and has tweaked the system to suit the players we have e.g. Tony Watt, Chris Long, Devante Cole and Robbie Crawford. In other words no square pegs in round holes. He's also made some behind the scenes improvements. All to the good. Do we need to ask questions of the players though? He's still to be tested though in the transfer market and in his influence on the youth development system. Presumably his record with youth is one of the reasons that he and not Tom Wright got the job. These of course are longer term objectives. Time will tell, but so far so good.

Yes - and I can't understand why it wasn't adopted more. The perspective between pitch level and even a few rows back is quite marked in my perception of a game. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
