True Weeyin, but those were different times. Top level football today is all about money, and we have none that amounts to anything. How many people do you think will pay to support this rubbish?? Even in the bad times we've had more support than now. Sad to say.
-
Is it time for me to comment on our ownership model yet?? Well and truly hoping to keep 9th place now, but this is atrocious.
-
Too bad, but the odds are pretty long against the OF with their depth compared to bottom six
-
Good grief, how many shots do you need???

Yea, keeping me off the beach in Florida!!

3 hours ago, Well Well said:
But we are a selling club, we must sell sell sell...Sod this building a team to compete nonsense. We must continue bringing 20 fuds a season to find a nugget of gold to sell and play with our fingers x behind our backs every week in the hope we stay up every year. As for the actual football...if we can call it that...Enough to lose 100 punters ever week until the end of the season.
I've always felt the sell model simply doesn't build a competitive team, and in looking for the gem you end up with a team like this where decent players like Cadden and Campbell are abused trying to get a spark in a bog. I don't remember a team as bad as what we have now. It's also strange that with the success of Moult and Kipre, that the cupboard was bare last summer, with nobody coming in with any real potential.

Now it will get really tough. Time for heroics!!

Best manager in the league is maybe stretching it a bit, but that's the difference in securing that 6th position at the end of the year. The other 5 have a massive financial advantage.

The more I see the more I believe our model just doesn't work at our level. We don't have the support base to generate enough money since football is now, unfortunately, all about money. We've sold three decent players over the last few years, but what we get for them, good as it once was, simply doesn't earn enough to get anybody in who can fill the gap of the exiting players, and we can't afford to pay the wages of any half decent loan player.
I admire the work done by the Society, but you can now predict attendance will drop, and struggling supporters might be looking to put their money into more practical places unless something dramatic happens, and I can't imagine what that would be.
We're back at the manager issue again n terms of summer signings, team selection, and tactics, albeit there's been injuries as well, and I think sooner than later has to be on the table.
Ugh!!!

The reality of this league now is that the top five will play for the top five positions, and the rest will at best get a shot at 6, and that will be down to how well the scraps are managed. Killie are being managed best just now, and we are already fighting relegation. I'm an old guy and find myself looking back for great Well years, not looking forward. Sad really, but we seem to have lost the plot.

I'm afraid the problem we have is that our base is not big enough, compared to Hearts, for the ownership to support a budget that would get us up into the top six on a consistent basis. Respect all those who've contributed, but it's all about money now.
-
0-1 at the half is better than I expected. Dons have a lot to prove, so I'm happy where we're at. Usually get a better 2nd half, so we're still in with a chance.
-
Not quite Wellowell, the team needs to be attractive enough to encourage better crowds, and I doubt too many people will be rushing out to get into Fir Park with the performances so far. I hope we have a plan to be at another level when we start playing SPL teams!!
-
Relief!
-
Listening on Mixr, and the number of passes that are off is not very good. Clyde for goodness sake, Clyde! Can't wait to see them play Rangers or Celtic!!! Woops, Mane misses another pass!!!
-
Fine start for Clyde!!!!
-
Do you think Robinson made them walk home after this fiasco????
-
Well, well, well????
-
Just tuned in and a bit surprised!!!! Sure I'm not alone!!!
-
Weeyin, the link is full of viruses, so check your system. Apple jumped on it in seconds saying there are at least three issues. I've cleaned my system, I hope. Meanwhile, how's the game going??
-
Crazy questions, but where're the commentators??? and does anybody have a video link for all of us guys around the world??
-
Caught the second half so great defending all around. Congratulations to everyone. I think both Rangers and Celtic will have seen they can't take us for granted, so good luck to the lads in the final. Hope the team makes some money this year with two finals. Plaudits to the manager, great result with a small squad to get into both finals.

What has happened to the team that did so well just a few weeks ago? The spirit seems to have evaporated!

Forget all the other comparisons guys, they don't help today whatsoever. This is about us, and it's bad news bno matter how you try to spin it.
