I am an unashamed happy clapper, but that today was arguably the worst game of senior foootball I have seen. 1 piece of skill in the whole game. I have never been in the Robbo out camp, saving us from relegation and giving us some unforgettable memories last season in my view gave him a lot of credit in the bank, however today reset the balance at zero as far as I'm concerned. We defended reasonably well, but that was it. There was no plan, no shape, and aimless punts up the park to nobody as the forwards were back defending. I get that we needed extra height back at set pieces, but then surely someone pacey could be left up on halfway line, but then you think who? Individually there are some decent players there, but they looked shorn of confidence, and unsure of where and what they should be doing. Richard Tait is one of my fave players but constantly playing on the left seems to be wearing him down, Alan Campbell has regressed as has Cadds, forwards feeding off scraps, no pace or forward width, and a lot of narking going on between players, and between the bench and team. Body language looks poor. I actually think the crowd were reasonably patient today, but if we had gone behind that would not have been the case. Contradictory statements from Robbo, and actually telling the opposition in the media how we are going to play was bizarre. I hope this can be turned round, but if I am being honest I don't think it can, and it really pains me to say it. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Just had a look at the statements from the candidates. Very impressive backgrounds indeed, augurs well for the future. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Aye interesting also that a well fans facebook group had a poll on Robbo that last time I looked was 300/20 in favour, so whilst folks are not happy and a bad October would change the figures, the vast majority (silent majority?) do not want change now. As Busta said on the pod those calling loudly for his head now are the ones who were against him from the start. Really hope he can turn this round Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Indeed he has been as big a miss as Kipre, although the other issue for me is lack of defensive midfield cover, especially in the absence of the much maligned Rose in the last 2 games. Perfect storm losing these 2 from a back 3 at same time. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Watched him a couple of times, looks a player, fingers crossed he can step up Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Good number, and if Yodo is amongst them looks like 1199 are hoping for a well victory Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

You sound as if you want us to get beat in the next few games?? You really are taking this to a whole new level. I have bad news for you, even if we lose the next few games no way will Robbo be sacked and neither should he be. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Grizzly you really should stop taking tabloid headlines as gospel and read exactly what he said Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Great piece Andy, well done. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

A bit harsh.... he has though owned Rodgers in the 4 times he has played Celtic......class act is Mr Clarke. I Saw that 8 of the Killie team who beat Celtic were in the team that got thumped 5 nil just before he took over. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Rose and Grimshaw are on 1 year contracts, which buys us time to bring players like Maguire, Turnbull through without throwing them in every week. I can see them getting phased in as the season progresses Gorrin was brought in cos it looked like Biggi was away. I agree we are 'well' covered but have no doubt if they are deemed good enough we will see more of them, another season will see an evolvement in that regard (I hope) Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Maguire has been playing defensive midfield (and doing it very well). I understand thats where Robbo sees him long term if he continues to develop. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Some numpty with a dodgy haircut and straggly ginger beard a few rows from the front had spent most of the 2nd half bellowing sh### towards the dug out. Female steward got involved after Robbo's retort, all got calmed down. Don't blame Robbo, guy was a loud incessant clown. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Sportscene pundits agreeing after seeing close up replays it WAS a foul on Carson, but as Robbo himself said, in real time it would have been difficult to see and there was no intent. We were still architects of our own downfall. Some you get, some you don't. Hope Trev OK Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Usually agree with Dave's comments but actually thought our back 3 defensively did well and in no way were bullied, however in terms of moving the ball forward, all were pretty ineffective, perhaps the sheer physicality of the game left nothing in the tank for more offensive play. Carson's injury reduced sub options as I am sure Rose or Hartley who were running on empty near the end would have been replaced. Disappointing day, ironically McHugh our best performer despite his howler. Good mental strength after the double whammy outcome of his mistake. Plenty of effort but everyone just looked out of sorts, and against a team with better players thats a problem. That said we for the most part matched a very hard side to play against and they know they were in a game. Whilst I would love a non old firm team to win the league, I have mixed feelings when it comes to this mob. Better teams than us have been and will be beaten by them this season, disappointing as it was. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Dunno Andy, I have a feeling there will be a decent turn out for this, think also opening the Hunter or Cooper might be a good option Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Great listen, football fans can be fickle, but those questioning Alan's appointment hopefully realise now what a smart move it was. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Very much so as he skippers reserves, has looked good in 2 games have seen recently Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Agreed in particular Maguire in defensive midfield role was outstanding, liked the look of Krones also. Good shift from Grimmy at rwb, Mbulu impressive, no failures, really enjoyed the game. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Bad weekend for refs...and talking of Thomson his sending off of Devlin in Adeen Killie game was ridiculous (as were the actions of Brophy) Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Aye the difference a good 90 mins can make, mind you this place will be back to usual if we don't win at Dens. Like others I was becoming concerned about the apparent non evolvement from hoofball, however Johnson is now getting up to speed and looks a real find, Bigi now realises what he has to do to be a regular starter and it's like having a cracking new player, and we still have Tanner to come back, all of which points us towards a more creative and varied approach. The team spirit and commitment is obviously good, just wish some of our support were a bit more positive and less inclined to sit sharpening their knives for the next setback Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

So everyone is believing a story in the Sun now!!! It was the same when we were 'linked' with Callachan of Hearts folks criticising Robbo wgen it was a non story. So quick to have a go Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Agree wholeheartedly re Cadden and Tait, they both look better players playing together on the right and link up so well. As you say the issue is then the left side. Would be great if ATS could step up to the mark. Tait is such a valuable player for us, flys under the radar, great engine, so consistent, versatile, and team player....next captain imo.
