I don't know about that. You can surely attempt to put anything in whatever context you wish, but that doesn't necessarily mean a negative or positive viewpoint hasn't been applied to the context. You mention Tommy McLean. When was the last time you heard someone put that 93'94 third place finish in the context of Celtic being at their lowest ebb for about 40 years. Or that both Hibs and Hearts were having budget cuts because they were in the midst of ground reconstruction? Is that not putting that in context too? It is, but it's just applying the context really negatively. The same as someone dubious of Robinson might suggest that there is little worth attached to the achievement of finishing third in the table because that particular season they only happened to be marginally less bad than another nine teams what was a poor standard of league, Just the same as someone more supportive of Robinson may put a third place finish in the context of that team having the second or third lowest budget in the league and achieving beyond the expectation level.

Agree with most of what you are saying but to me he does not seem to learn from his mistakes and is very slow to adapt to righting them or he’s just stubborn Grimmy as much as I like the guy and he must be great to have around the squad is not a right back ( played a part in the goal by being the wrong side of Reynolds ) This playing wingers on the wrong side then changing it with on either Long/Watt going on to the wing Playing Long as a lone striker when everyone and their granny know he cannot play that role We have so many players I don’t think he knows his best eleven and this has been compounded ( not all his fault due to current circumstances) by playing players for 45 minutes during pre season. Not saying it was right but The Rangers played the same team in just about all their games with most players playing 70 - 80 mins while we chopped and changed all over the place.

More the fact he was asked to play the holding role in midfield yesterday...

Grimshaw's defending was criminal at that goal.

Aye, but he was talking about the opposition winger, not the ball.

This is one for the return of the ‘no-one’ option. No standout performances at all for me

Is he your dad

As John Greig used to say, "Oot the park wins games son...."

While the players on the park have to perform the manager has to play them where we will get the most benefit. I think he will get there eventually but he does seem to take a while to change things. The inverted wingers has not worked for a while. He also needs to define where players can play. Pointless playing Watt On the left, as someone mentioned that should have been Hylton. Till we are up to full fitness, I’d be telling Turnbull and Polworth to go 100% and switch one for the other when tired. If Long is playing then the formation needs to have him as part of a front 2. I’d like to see us start with a higher pressing game and sub out the tired players, we need to find a way to be more of an attacking threat.

Our defence has conceded 2 goals in 2 games - one from a penalty. Long, Lang, Watt and White have scored zero goals in 2 games. I'm more concerned about hitting the back of the net at the moment. Nowhere near panic though. This is going to be a long and weird season. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

One win in 11 tells you everything u need to know about our manager like he hasn't got a clue

They're not really. We're paying the provider directly for our subscriptions or PPV, and they're presumably paying the club a percentage of that.

Yesterday was an absolute clusterfuck. Lagging streams, no sound, people being logged out etc. I was accused yesterday of gunning for the club because I made the point during the game. The fact of the matter is that the club are working with a provider however as the club are the ones taking the money, it is up to them to ensure that their provider reflects well and provides a good service for the money. It's the same if you buy a washing machine from Curries; you don't take it back to the manufacturer if it breaks - you go to curries. In that sense, this needs to be resolved immediately. Advertising and charging for a game which many were not even able to login to isn't acceptable. Football is nothing without fans at the stadium but not even giving your fans the chance to watch online on a paid service reduces it to a bounce game.

If we get through the 1st Round which with the way we are playing is not a given, then you can just see us drawing Tottenham or AC Milan since we cannot attend matches. If it was business as usual we would draw a side form Russia or Kazakhstan. Just our luck. Imagine what Tottenham would do to the side that has played the opening two games. Thank Christ it would be a one legged affair. Probably still be double figures. Hopefully they would play a B team. Should be excited about Europe. But with the inability to attend or travel to games, our form and the form of our streaming company. Sure I will be up for it once the games come around but a bit meh at the moment.

The issue is, due to our poor recruitment, we actually cant do anything else other than 4-3-3. Campbell & Turnbull together in a midfield 4 would be overun & Turnbull would be completely nullified, we dont have enough even half decent Centre Backs for 3 at the back, and we have nobody in the squad at all who is capable of playing wing back. The other thing killing us is Robbos obsession with inverted wingers, it just doesnt work (unless you are an Aubameyang / Salah type) defenders show our wingers the outside and they are neutered. At least playing on the traditional side, Hastie & Seedorf have the pure pace to beat a man and send a ball in, even if crossing isnt great, they will both have several chances per match to hit a decent one!

He didn’t sign Frear..who wasn’t as bad as made out

Your general point is right. Like I said, when it comes to attacking players I struggle to think of one good signing Robinson has made. Polworth as a creative midfielder is perhaps the best. A couple of good keepers, a few good centre backs and some decent defensive midfielders but when it comes to the creative side of the game, his record is generally quite poor. Attacking players that have done well in his time have been those he has inherited (Moult) or those that have come through the youth system (Turnbull and Scott). Doesn't reflect well...

A few signed over the last 3 years or so that we’re not loans. I would say Gillespie, Carson, Carroll, Polworth, Donnelly, Aldred, Kipre, Gorrin, Dunn, Hartley.

I do appreciate that they're not even pretending at the Record anymore. Headline could simply have said 'Scottish Clubs'. Nope, it's Celtic and Rangers...
