  1. I've seen quite a few relegation teams over the years, but I don't see it in this one at the moment. Even just the fact they will play hard to the final whistle is a good sign. I won't be surprised if we're 8th or 9th, but if the new gaffer can get a higher tempo, higher energy team playing that might help compensate a bit for the wobbly defence.
  2. Would be hilarious if SK got the Rangers job in the summer.
  3. Gutted we narrowly missed out on the dream team of Ferguson, McCann, Dodds and McGregor to rescue us. An ex-Alloa manager sacked 3 years ago sounds just the ticket.
  4. Only if the season finished tonight. If we're guaranteed 10th otherwise, that is a lot of dross we'll need to be watching until May.
  5. How does Mexican milk introduce itself? Soy milk.
  6. A customer from Colorado I work with is Mexican. He knows I'm a Motherwell supporter and told me last week he was a Dundee fan now thanks to the 2 Mexicans that joined them in January, and was looking forward to this game. Not my best anecdote, but true nonetheless.
  7. SK announced detailed reviews of all this on an almost weekly basis.
  8. It is ridiculous. It's also why we have a bloated squad, because even with 30 players, we struggle some weeks to find a fully fit matchday squad.
  9. Clubs and fans will always find something to complain about. Every European tie is refereed by a neutral and it doesn't reduce the number of bad decisions from them or VAR.
  10. F1 has been depressing for about the past 20 years. Formula-E is more entertaining these days; they can even overtake each other at circuits like Monaco. I'm in the opposite situation, though. Too much sport, not enough time to watch it all.
  11. Glimmer or Grimmer with Wimmer? Take your pick...
  12. Early days, of course, but 0/10 to the "can the new man organise a defence?" question. Same Scheiße different Tag.
  13. I don't think we need the refugees from the locked SK thread hijacking this one. The line is drawn _________________________________________________________ let's move on
  14. Unless the ref speaks German, the new management team will be able to give him pelters without fear of a yellow card.
  15. It's true that it is often the older crowd that get involved. When I started going to games in the 70s, it was the running joke was that the old blokes in the main stand with their flasks of soup and travelling rugs on their knees that complained the most. There was more than a grain of truth to that. There was plenty of abuse from the terraces too, but that was usually aimed at players. I don't think the younger generation are exempt though, they just vent their anger in a different way - typically social media. Of course, for all of the above it's only "some fans". The fans you never hear about, which are the majority, are the ones that never post on here, are rarely on social media, and have recovered from any poor performances by they time they have watched the latest episode of Doctor Who and had their tea.
  16. I hope I never have to rely eyewitness testimony from some of the posters on here.
  17. I hope he does a big knee slide right in front of the Bois just to see the seethe on here. I have zero issues with any player celebrating a goal, regardless of who he used to play for. It's one of the joys of any footballers' career.
  18. Kettlewell living rent free in a surprising number of posters heads here. Do you remember what he was spouting off about when he was at Ross County? It will all be forgotten when he's telling everyone he wishes there was VAR in the Championship because that controversial non-penalty was the only thing that prevented his Partick Thistle team from making the play-offs.
  19. First season at Luton wee Al made 39 appearances. Second season at Luton he made 47 appearances in a team that won promotion to the EPL. He also won Luton's player of the month on multiple occasions. You can argue whether a player is EPL level, but I'm not sure those Luton stats make you "overrated". It certainly went went wrong in the last couple of seasons, but that could be due to multiple factors.
  20. As I've said before, there are many discussions you can have have about individual players. So many aspects contribute to their overall performances. In football forums, however, all those nuances are boiled down to "shite" or "brilliant". It's what often makes it so difficult to have any kind of conversation.
  21. It must be quite a talent to fool so many professional managers and coaches at different teams and different levels for 15 years.
