Great Balls of Shire

Shields delivered a couple of great crosses last night, which probably tempts managers to try him out wide...he does deserve a chance thro middle , one thing for sure when things get tough kvv is going to disappear or get booked

Seems a common theme with tw, those utd players should get their arses kicked if it's the case they downed tools

might be worth seeing the guy play before comparing him to a guy youve seen once, because you are knocking him, tho u say ur not...we needed a lb , weve signed a lb , give the boy a chance he seems rated by the ipswich fans and will surely be better than current left backs

anyway the suns stopped and i still reckon we will finish above united, if we dont we should be relegated

i wasnt unhappy to see ga going but no harm to him either, he just wasnt very inspirational......robbo , i liked and he seems to be showing at st mirren what hes ca[able of on another point remember when some folks wanted jack ross at fir park, sometimes its just your time at certain clubs

aberdeen,dundee utd and hibs players are probably on that type of money, its no guarantee, theres a lot of dross in scotland , even on decent money

too easy to blame ga , pleased when he went, the 2 goals were basic defending so if guys cant do the basics shouldnt be playing at this level, so nowt to do with ga

fair point but ga was a pretty good full back too and, well

we should be capable of finishing above dundee utd this year, they look very ordinary

if he had sent the hibs boy off in first half, fair dues, that was actually a worse foul ....there is then 2 tackles in the ross county game which were definitely worse and dangerous , i know that isnt colums doing but there has to be some consensus in what merits a red....its the age old thing about consistency

if his wage demands are reasonable , worth a punt....but is he really a top priority type of player. He has never been fast and not a great tackler. I am not saying he isnt a good player but if money is a prisoner , we should maybe be prioritising elsewhere

not at all, all these guys earning a good wedge in their team are bang average....if we cant score a few v them, give it up

brilliant post

yep, dont know much about the boy mcgrath or levitt but hey didnt get a look in, youve also got watt and fletcher , so they must be shelling out . i think it shows that everything starts with a good defence With 2 or 3 additions we should be looking to finish above them

i dont think alan b has time to answer every passing thought that comes into a fans head , i think it was quite well explained in sh inetrview , so why does he need to expand

you are making a lot of assumptions there without anything to back it up.time will tell,,,,after watching dundee utd last night, if we dont finish above them , we deserve to be relegated....assuming we get 2 or 3 new faces in They were beyond lamentable, even with tony watt,mcgrath steven fletcher....ok players at a certain level , but honestly bang average.

this is the thing, ive read posters on here saying before last night how good jack ross would have been.....they looked a really poorly coached team . Iam sure he has some merits but until Scottish teams learn how to defend , they have no chances. The basics , like first to ball, going with runners arent difficult but do need some discipline.

think nick daws is getting a hard time , probably because of his association with ga....any transfer will have to be rubber stamped by manager, so ultimatelt its on manager if signings are poor.

dont see how we can have both with the candidates mentioned, anyone from outwith the scottish game wont have time to assess squad and get new faces in...if its hammy etc , they arent going to have the experience...the board and the new manager are already on a hiding to nothing with some posters

thats why i think hammy has to be either boss or assistant at the very least....due to the bad timing of all this, a new face doesnt have time to assess current team and then get replacements in , all in a matter of weeks

Youre basically saying that peoples concerns are to do with Lenno being "Celtic minded", its not mine and i doubt its most people on here. I dont know anything about Healy , but having seen NL interaction with officials etc and thats without all the off field antics

well put colin, shame you have got to clarify things for people deliberately trying to twist things and be "right on" and pc....if he was a good "manager" , then who knows , might be worth a shout but hes not ....

i get what you are trying to say, think people are twisting it trying to be pc , youre right , from a duty of care , why would you put the guy under pressure , there was recent footage of him in cyprus giving the ref pelters.......as tam forsyth once said what we need is the 3 C'S , ..... cool calm heads

when you put it like that, maybe we should consider "him" ,

if its down to football history, then dont appoint him...if its down to man management, dont appoint him
