Goggles & Flippers

Robinson's downfall is he padded the team out with mediocrity that on paper flattered. It appears Alexander is following that model by adding to an already bloated squad. I hope to be proven wrong. The only player out so far is White. Which confirms what we all know, too few are attractive to potential suitors. It appears theres a few in that squad who know they'd not realise the wages elsewhere or have a desire to play regularly so willing to ride out their contracts.

I take we should have a more content dressing room than has been reported. So far all the January deals I imagine were players on the radar before Alexander got the gig. The keeper, Lawless and Foley I imagine were new names to him when they were presented and sold as options however he must have had final say. Only Crawford, through exposure over the past 4 weeks, has earned the nod as a direct result of interaction and assessment. So we have yet to see players he has identified which was no doubt seen as part of his attraction when appointed. The night is still young as they say ..... I hope the lack of interaction with the academy players as alluded by Onthefringes has been remedied.

Our loanee striker could/should take note of Tont Watt. Granted he's only here for the short term but he could learn a lot by emulating the work effort of a guy busting his box in up until he was subbed. The big fella ambling about despite being fresh on the pitch while Tony is sprinting to close the angle on the far side of the pitch for their full back I hope draws the attention of the gaffer in the post match analysis. Cole is 3 from 4 games, those are Louis at his peak numbers ...... Glad to see the fringe guys take their chances.

Over a decade ago he was on the verge of the Scotland gig ........ "Mark, collect in the dilts and bibs will ya"

Right boys just pretend we’re still 1-0 down and play like it

Our record coming from behind is woeful of late so at present you’re thinking a draw would be a result. Certainly we were in the ascendency in that half till the goal took the wind out our sails. It also appears the big blonde hatchet man will only get a booking if there’s blood drawn. Yet again inconsistent refereeing.

33/1 chance its the racecourse

Hiya pal

Lamie ..... playing out of position ...... would be an improvement

But surely if that money is used to afford players they wouldn’t have been able to afford without it to maintain their top flight status at the expense of teams around them is a bit hard to square that circle.

I sincerely hope there are criteria (such as significant belt tightening) to access this taxpayer money. Otherwise what is to stop all teams going out and bettering their squad to secure top flight status or league position. Rangers now have "the" preceding the name because they looked to secure better players than they could have afforded if they had to pay them the taxes they should have. That ensured a sporting advantage. Maybe I'm finding the Killie thing here all the more galling as due to astute financial management and sales we've just registered a 750k swing to a health profit. Does getting ahead of yourself ever benefit you?

We could have Lennon as our gaffer, choice quotes in bold, he's gone full tinfoil helmet/bottles of piss ......

Few inaccuracies in your post: "full squad had to isolate" ..... "minor covid breaches" ...... care to square that circle? 6 points yes but 6 goals don't affect GD. Rules were simple, if not this is the penalty. Don't do A, B or C, wash your D, avoid E and definitely don't do F. Only minor thing in this whole affair is the punishment given for being roasters. Also love a bit of whataboutery.

Soooooo .... Not bothered by the money we'd potentially earn then, just let give him a bus fare to wherever and a manly handshake... inspired blue sky thinking there sparky. He brings more for me than the only other out and out winger we have in Seedorf. He had one game early on this season where he played at a 7 when everyone else is 5 or 6's and he's the key to our attack claimed by too many on here. Seen it with Bigi a few years back too. Certainly not a marquee signing but better than what we have. I'd like to see the playing payroll decrease and these players who a manager and caretaker claimed were not caring punted. Not overlooking that quite often a new manager, playing style, direction, impetus and hutspa can be transformational for under performers or those not clicking. Look at Gannon's team before Craig and Archie, few weeks under them and 12 game unbeaten run.

Unquestionably sporting advantage gained. Cynical move by both clubs? Killie have more of a defence than St Mirren do as Ayrshire NHS told them to cancel. Kinda makes a mockery of the stringent rules most other clubs have been adopting to mitigate things. Through no fault of our own we've been messed about, been awarded points, had them taken away, now have to find time to play the games, just reeks of incompetence and mismanagement. Rules in black and white, flouted, so what's the defence? Just shows in life if you get an expensive lawyer, they can even get OJ off.

Joke, how can they even justify this. Just another reason why I’m increasingly fed up with football. Totally done

Remember when we got him and the collective rant was Livvy reject .... Messi would have to bide his time to break into that team at the moment.

Not a player but Leeann in now the boss at Queens Park. £5m for sale of Hampden to manage. I know she lives close so the 2 hour commute per day to Leith will be 10 minutes each way. But I think it maybe more likely to laying the groundwork for a future roll, plus her office will be next door to SPFL and SFA ......

Shalom

As countless times this season lack of being streetwise. We'd be 4 points better off if they screwed the nut today and at Tannadice.

My soothsaying is now reported in the Daily Rag 5 days ago https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/declan-gallagher-wants-dream-celtic-23261948 "A source close to Gallagher" .... that reeks of the horses mouth, he's hardly a shy retiring wallflower. Of course he doesn't want to be tied as we're hardly riding the crest of a wave but he needs to be sure he's gonna get regular appearances otherwise he's not going to get the start in the Euro's he now expects. Do I blame him for angling to move for more money? Nope, but the way he does it is as disrespectful as he pulled someone up on twitter for.

His neighbours say the same .........

This bridge chat is burnin my eyeballs. Tommy Wright ... GTF Alexander 1/5, seems they are confident. Expect Yodo to give him to St. Valentine's Day ironically.

Based on the current squad we need trio with the ghosts of Robin Gibb and Sir Jack Charlton. I understand "Maggie" is Seedorf's nickname.
