  1. When it comes to petty point scoring on grammar you have to wonder. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  2. A reasonable point of view and although weeyin put forward an alternative view in his reply which I tend to agree with, I understand the points raised and perhaps more importantly appreciate the sensible manner in which they were raised. Reasoned debate...lets hope its the future! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  3. Sadly in life there are people whose default position is negativity and who love to have a go at anything and anyone, yet find it impossible to give out praise when its due. Reading some (far from all) of the comments on here has me shaking my head in bewilderment at times. Nowt wrong with criticism as such, differing views is healthy, I just don't understand the pant wetting this early with virtually a new team and limited resources. I actually think some folks love a crisis Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  4. Enjoyed that..great read Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  5. Exactly....too many other outdoor things to do and holidays. Honestly believe crowds would drop....and what the hell would we do during the winter. (Other than drink more[emoji6] Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  6. Was my first thought Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  7. Tend to agree, my brother in law is a jambo and says atmosphere there is toxic and will go into complete meltdown if they dont start well. Hibs fans i think more likely to stay behind them in numbers even if they have a poor start...if they start well then their away support will be big. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  8. Indeed it did but folks on here need to get real. To sell a player for the money we want and at the time we want depends on a buying club willing to satisfy both criteria. Folks on here would go into meltdown if we sold a player at the first offer and accuse the club of rolling over yet as Lobey alludes to, play hardball for more dosh and it goes right to the wire with all the replacement issues that brings. This is the system we have to operate in and it is far from easy. Folks criticise the club as if we should always get our first choice targets and always sell at the price and time that suits us. Would be great if we could and avoid mistakes but in the market we are in mistakes are more likely as you are taking a punt on potential rather than a stellar career thus far. Am confident though of better outcomes now. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  9. Got to be honest I find this post 'sad', in fact am shaking my head in bewilderment. Not even on twitter myself but I say keep up the good work Flow, use whatever methods engage with our fan base Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  10. My thoughts entirely when I read the full spec through....it was like a detailed job spec for a full time paid post and I doubted if there would be sufficient interest. Classic case of a nice simple idea being completely over egged and over complicated. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  11. There is definitely merit in what you write, but if the player has a chance to go to the likes of Burnley NOW with the financial benefits he will no doubt get, I think it unlikely he would want to sign an extension to stay with us. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  12. Tired and thick finger syndrome..not a good combination!! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  13. That last line nails it for me and its a point thats been lost in all the calls for a creative spark. One (of the many) reasons our defence was so poor was the complete lack of cover from midfield. Start controlling midfield then you shield your defence and provide a platform for going forward. The signings so far would seem to acknowledge this and as others havs said just because a cfeative gdnius hasnt yet been signed does not mean its not being targetted Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  14. YB I have always enjoyed reading your opinions (whether or not I agreed with them) which are well thought through reasonable and always articulated very well. I am however a bit taken aback at how negative you are in this one. Time will tell I guess Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  15. Anyone having bother getting on club website, seems to have crashed??? Hope we can really tap into the interest being created Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  16. All about opinions, like them both away strip is a belter. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  17. Just caught up with new player and Robbo interviews ... really impressed, as well as quality as players he is obviously looking at character as well. Carson interview was particulary good. I was at the Dunfermline u20 game a few days before the Dundee debacle and witnessed our management team turning up 30 mins late and generally joking about and not looking that interested in the game. I felt and remarked to friends it was all too complacent and I wanted to see more of a sense of urgency and professionalism. I think we have got that with Robinson. I always felt second time round with McGhee he felt he had nothing to prove and could do enough to match our limited targets without breaking sweat, where Robinson has something to prove and looks very focussed and commited to the task in hand. His man management in keeping a poor side up knowing so many were going to be binned but not dissing them in public was excellent. Now he will have his own picks in I think he will be demanding and fair..just the sort of gaffer thaf will get the best out of players Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  18. Also interesting to hear about Alan Burrows phone call to him while he was checking in for a flight to Australia persuading him to return to the club. Great job Flow!! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  19. Certainly is a good interview thanks for posting link. Be interesting where he ends up. Liked the candid nature of his comments, he has been a massive player for us in both spells Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  20. Agreed although I believe he was carrying an injury in the play off games. Sadly BBC online gossip carries on peddling the myth this morning Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  21. And he has been smart enough to keep those comments till we were safe unlike another manager touted on here for the job who 'lost the dressing room' and saw his team relegated. With what he has had to deal with, and the piss poor squad he inherited, I think he has done a tremendous job in keeping us up. An even bigger task now lies ahead and I wish him well and some patience from the 'pant wetter' posters. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  22. He does actually, saying at end of article he will consider his own position Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  23. I am sure it was nerve shredding at the game but am in Vigo at moment and it was hellish being updated via mobile. As an aside was watching Man U v Celta Vigo game in local bar Thurs managing to convince locals I waz not English or a Man U fan was not easy. I felt their pain at the end, heres hoping its the only football pain i will feel this season. All about the result not the performance and thank god for Louis Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  24. On hearing the line up I was encouraged however Moult didnt look mobile/fit and very subdued. Hammell was injured so I have no issue with him coming off but the Ainsworth/Bowman and Campbell/ Clay substitutions had me scratching my head. Jules looked like a rabbit caught in headlights. That error strewn goal sucked the life out the whole stadium. I genuinely thought we would be OK but this maybe now our time after dodging relegation through various ways over the years. It's a perfect storm..poor squad nervy as hell today, bad breaks/refereeing decisions, huge injury list, inexperienced manager, no dosh, I actually think automatic relegation is now a distinct possibility as I don't see where we go from here. Hope I'm wrong Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
  25. Interesting stat re -1 goal difference in Robinsons 8 games, it certainly aint him thats got us into this mess. Agree with a lot of what you say regards the manager however Dundee sussed how to play against our current set up and McIntyre will have watched with interest so a plan 'b' is required. The fact there is no clear view from posters as to what personnel should fill what position in a 4-4-2 shows the difficulty the manager faces. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
