Bastard, cant get S4C on Virgin I dont think

100% agree.

The more I see/hear of Gannon, the more I believe Boyle has got it 100% correct. He has come with a fresh pair of eyes and stated it how it is. Most SPL teams/players are happy with mediocrity and the status quo. What Gannon has done is laid down the gauntlet and challenged the players to show who has the bottle for the fight and to prove him wrong. He's setting the standards he expects from his players. I'm sure the manager would equally praise the team if he saw what he liked. He appears to be a no bullshit, straight to the point guy.

That said, I think he was glad half time came. Cheers for brightening up the match mate. twennnnnty onnnnnnnnnnne!

Much like the FA cup where a "minnow" gets a draw with a big team, Llanelli failed to kill us off and I tend to think they may not have done enough. The second leg should (I hope) see us through.

I would tend to keep Fitzpatrick. He's had his job (pressing) the last couple of seasons and he hase done OK IMO. There have been a couple of times where he's been missed and opposing teams have had way too much time in midfield etc. Glamorous no, frustrating at times, yes, but he puts in a shift and thats the kind of player you need if you are scrapping at the wrong end of the table. Reynolds... definitely potential there but is lacking confidence and it shows when his indecisiveness causes errors. If Gannon can build his confidence and "aggression" back up, I think we'll have the Reynolds of a few seasons ago back. Forbes... as said previously he almost exclusively found a well shirt and retained the ball well. Looks to have a decent future. Although the result the other night was terrible, I was encouraged by us getting the ball down and passing it. given Gannon had only been in charge a matter of days. I think in time we could see some decent stuff if we sort out the lack of penetration and cutting edge.

Haha... on a lighter note... I have just noticed the number 21 who was getting the rip taken out of him (from the guys in the east stand) is their player manager. Anyway.. obviously disappointed but think we'll turn it round 2nd leg.

Sums it up. ... and well done to Boyle et al if they manage to get that kind of figure for him. The good thing about Porter, McCormack, Clarkson etc leaving (aside from the fees) is that if they are any good down there, then the clubs profile (esp in terms of player development) will shoot up. This will lead to increased transfer fees and also better chances of us landing players as they will see it as a good "stepping stone".

Maybe he is using his German contacts

Bit of info on the lad:

Im sure I read somewhere that John Boyle said (maybe a week ago) that there was no chance of Calderwood being entertained for the job (or words to that effect).

Surely he would be shown the facilities etc at some point though. Having said that, there is probably a journo camped outside awaiting such an arrival. Would have prob heard it somewhere by now.

"People talk about Scotland but there’s not many teams you’d leave Bohemians to go manage in Scotland for"

Well you never know. Did Dundee Utd not sign the boy Gomis from Cowdenbeath or summit?

To put things into perspective, celtic have hired a manager who actually got his team relegated from the EPL.

Thank God for that. Was nearly greetin when I read we had approached him. Re McGhee... if Celtic dont get Mowbray, I think we should up our compensation quote a bit for McGhee as they appear to be struggling for suitable candidates... supply and demand and all that.

Does McGhee not have it in his contract that he is allowed to talk to certain clubs if they are interested?

Available (LMA) managers. Click drop-down box for list. http://www.leaguemanagers.com/ have fun

Doubt Davies would leave Nottingham Forest for us.

I take it we mean Colin O'Neil rather than Stuart Pearce

... For me, this is the stuff of nightmares.

Not Celtic minded mate. The Celtic fans have made it clear that success is not part of the criteria. Lets hope they get their wish and get Peter Grant or summit...

I am a clown... thought it was 3pm k/o so have missed game Whoosh.

Its maybe just the mail?? I have had a few things sent up to me from my folks and my sister recently that have never arrived.
