God I forgot about Spencer! Another ‘season long loan’ that didn’t last the season.
Yes, him being capped while playing for us obviouly persuaded his parent club that we were a complete clusterfuck amateur shambles with no CEO and a manager totally out of his depth.

You have gone all guns blazing here without knowing the circumstances. Does it occur to you that the club using the phrase "personal reasons" might suggest it might not be for football reasons? It might be but equally there may be a family issue that has developed which is none of our business.
This might have been a mistake by the club but to go all out and criticise the club automatically without any knowledge of the situation (knowledge that we're not entitled to), seems like looking for an excuse to have a go...
This forum has too many people like MJC (unless they are all actually MJC posting under other names to support his own simplistic, dumb views).
So far this season we've had the club being so skint we can't afford electricity for the undersoil heating, Kettlewell needing sacked for signing Bair, every single loan signing has failed, Biereth left cause Motherwell are an amateur organisation with no CEO and we'll 100% be relegated.
It really does wear you down reading this utter dross on thread after thread. We could beat Celtic 10-0 on Sunday and one of the regular detractors would greet about the amateur board causing us to give away too many corners and Kelly's goal kicks going out of play.

I really can't see what the appeal would be to any business person in buying into Scottish Football. Unless they're working a deal to end up owning the stadium and land when the club inevitably can't pay back the 'investment'. There's less than a million in prize money between 4th and 12th, so even if some rich benefactor contributes say £1M a year to increase player quality (and up the wages available for players), even if doing it guarantees 3rd place, there's still no profit to take out.
We've had a rich fan owner, installing unqualified people to run the club and we all know how that turned out.
Unless you're Celtic, there are no massive profits from which to recoup investment. For better or for worse, I'd like to see our club continue to run in a way it can survive and carry on surviving whatever that might mean. I certainly don't want to be the next Gretna, or even Dundee, or h**s or Livi.
People on here regularly say they want to see the club 'pushing the boat out, showing ambition and investing in the squad'. I'd love to see the plan of how that is expected to play out.

Now that the press have gone into overdrive with their 'Celtic in Crisis' narrative, you just know that they'll come out at 110 MPH on Sunday.

Don’t know if this has been raised end Jan or not, if it has then sorry for repeating, interested to know given our dire finances, with Turnbull exiting the ugly sister at Parkhead are we due any % of the reported £2m?
If so I say we use it to resign Spittal and buy some grass seed for the field.
Who’s in the know?
I'm not 'in the know' but as far as i do know, sell-on bonuses are usually tied to profit. They sold him at a huge loss.

As a wee aside to the game, I had a wee look at a couple of other forums just to see if their fans are as bad about ours. Aberdeen's forum makes ours look like a positive love in for the managers and players 🤣 They have spent money in the last few windows, changed managers and have one point more than us. They have one of the best strikers in the league in Miovski and they have multiple posters who reckon everything is pish. There's a section of the support that want Warnock out already.
Looking at the bottom end of the league objectively, three teams have changed manager recently, one has changed again and not one of them has had so much as a 'new manager bounce'. Aberdeen haven't won in five, Hibs have two points from five games, St Johnstone have a point less than us in their last five (that will become two less in their last five today), and Ross Co have a point.
Now I know that this is about us and not them, but in a relegation battle, you need to take account of what your rivals are doing. Realistically, who in the bottom six are going to take anything away from Tyncastle ? We're not going down this year and we're not going to be in a play off spot either.

I keep watching goal difference, and ours should be better, it is at mid-league level. Suely the forward line is more where the problem lies. I'm not defending the back, but a few more goals for would have made a bigger difference.
We're equal third top scorers in the league.

Not too bad a first half. They've had a lot of ball but created very little to worry about.

Paton's corners are an impovement.....much more dangerous

Just want to say before the game starts that I think starting Devine is a bad call, unless we intend spending a lot of time on the front foot and don't expect Hearts to attack down that flank.
Am more than happy to be wrong about it though. Will personally play one of his grandad's albums at full pelt as punishment if I am.

Normally would look to be at least getting a point from this but Hearts are third for a reason. Be a right difficult game to take anything out of.

Looking at the carnage in the box after Paton scored, you knew they'd find something. They could just as easily have chopped it off and awarded us a penalty. Farcical, right enough.
I agree. Said that at the time. The first foul to be commited after the taking of the corner was the defender with two handfuls of Obika's shirt. They seem to have taken the whole period from the corner to the goal (remember the ball even left the penalty box and came back in) and picked one of numerous infringements to chalk the goal off.

Just saw in the highlights that Bair was holding his hamstring at the final whistle. Hope thats not an injury that keeps him out.

Elliot is one we will monitor and if he looks a prospect will get a deal in the summer. I doubt he is on a big wage so it's worth a punt to see if any good
Agreed. Some of the roasters on here would just pitch him straight in cause its fashionable to say SOD is shit

The only way we'll find out is if he pitches him into the inferno.
Might be brilliant might be shite but it would be nice to know one way or another.
Davor got pitched in in the St Mirren cup tie and wasn't up to speed. Gent was making sub appearances until he got up to speed. Players need time to adjust, especially the more inexperienced ones.

We did sign another RWB in Callan Elliot. Oh, wait…
You've got to be one of the most football ignorant people ever to post on a forum. Callan Elliot is a young player with no experience of Scottish football who we can look at and possibly develop as a long term prospect (You know, like that shite striker we signed from St Johnstone who Kettlewell should have got sacked for signing). Throwing him in during a part of the leage season where we're aiming to stay in the league would be suicide. Like SOD or not (and you clearly don't), he's the best and most experienced right back at the club. Admitedly not the most dynamic or fastest going forward, but the best we've currently got. I've never put someone on ignore on a forum before but you are such a dumbfuck, you might just be the first.

I'll rephrase my original post. Are they being coached properly? Now a poor defensive display is nothing new; it's been evident for months. In the words of none other than Alex McLeish "if the players are being coached properly and they continue to make the same mistakes, then they need moved on".
That's laughable coming from McLeish......

But he scored also
Ypu, that can't be denied. I just don't see him as a viable right back option right now, in a relegation fight. If SOD had given them the run of that flank multiple times while jogging back from the half way line as the ball passed him by, he'd be getting pelters on here.

Agree here a point is gd . Regards SOD if he was playing 1st and 3rd for them don't happen imo . Devine was weak at both.
I refer the honourable gentleman to what I posted before the game started...........I saw nothing in Devine's cameo on Friday to suggest he could defend. To me he was caught between attacking and defending all the time. Was exactly the same tonight. They had the run of that flank till he went off.

Most of us were calling out for a commanding centre-half to be signed during the transfer window, but, instead, we signed umpteen full-backs and Shaw, with some of them barely featuring or not at all yet.
We still have the same central three that did so well at the end of last season, we just haven't been able to play them cause of injuries.

So, we're 6th then.......

Agree with most of what you say mate, but Dundee have been in administration twice in the last 24 years due to loony owners. That's what most worries me about private investment, especially from a 'rich business man'. There is no real route in Scottish football to making money for anyome outside the h**s and the tims, unless you are better than everyone else in the league at unearthing unknown talent, getting them to sign longish deals and selling them at massive profit. Every club in the league would be doing that if it was just a matter of 'hiring the right head of recruitment'. No succesful business person throws monry into things without wanting something back out. Thats what makes them succesful.
