Being in decline relative to other clubs like Hibs, Aberdeen and Hearts who recovered from previous mismanagement is inevitable. We have been in absolute decline though. We have had a manager who treated his job as a part time role. We have allowed training to happen without qualified coaches present. We have signed dozens of players not up to the standard of the league. We currently have a manager who not only plays an unwatchable brand of football but prides himself on it. Those issues are internal ones.

It's an interesting debate, don't spoil it by greeting about it not being in the right thread.

And yet we've stayed in the league, and last year got to 2 Cup Finals and finished 7th. My thoughts on the brand of football are well documented on here, as well as my thoughts on the "need to earn the right to play" nonsense. And it would be churlish to not recognize that by playing guys like Bigi and Turnbull that situation has brought some improvement. There has, however, been huge changes off and on the field in the past 2 or 3 seasons to contend with. From JB selling, to the Well Society to the changes that Les implemented to the overhaul required to meet Project Brave criteria to ground improvements. The fact we have made it through that, stayed in the league and turned a profit is pretty impressive for any business. I think where we agree is that now we have been through that transition, we need to improve the product on the park. I don't have any expectation that it will lead to massive improvements in league position, but I'd rather we finished 6th or 7th playing more attractive football than 6th or 7th just "earning the right to play".

Aye, since August

Thanks Weeyin I'll pop over and visit you in the care home

If it's a one-way ticket, I'll chip in a tenner.

Lack of quality and pace in that selection is frightening ,Aldred & Hartley are a big problem at the back they have no pace and couldn't pass water .Grimshaw really have you seen his last two performances him and Campbell have been shocking ,Main continues his headless chicken routine without any threat . Don't ask me to name a team because at this moment I couldn't, really hope we get something from the game but right now I'm looking for flights to anywhere so I don't have to go to the Tattiedome and witness a massacre

Our record up there is pure unadulterated shite. Anything from this fixture will be remarkable.
