We are certainly behind in terms of our stadium.

Do you never have anything positive to say?

Another bit of lazy journalism from the current bunch. Charlie Adams has left his job as Everton set-piece coach and wants to get into front line management and is being considered for the vacant manager’s position at Motherwell. I sincerely hope not!

It’s well seen it’s the close season because I’ve never read so much sh*te about players we are ‘rumoured to be talking to’ and which of the two OF Lennon Miller will end up with.

We’ve had a fair number of managers who were with the OF: Roger Hynd Davie Hay Jock Wallace Bobby Watson Tommy McLean Terry Butcher Stuart McCall. Alex McLeish Billy Davies The only one I had no time for was Jock Wallace who IMO was an ignoramus.

Just wait and see.

I think we might be having discussions with Scott Brown.

Michael Wimmer ‘officially’ resigned on 23rd May and walked straight into another job. That tends to suggest that he had already been making plans to leave long before then.

The yoked shirts which we wore between 1913-1924 were copied from Bradford City. Then from 1924-1928 Bradford changed to vertical claret and amber stripes and we also adopted these. Later in 1928 we introduced the claret band across the chest for the first time. It ‘disappeared’ for the first time in the 1970 season and its appearance has been sporadic ever since.

Too many peeps trying to outdo grizzlyg on the comedy front. 😂

Will reserve judgement until I see how he does. Caveat: He’s spent the majority of his career in the Championship.

Ditto.

That leaves just us and Rangers without a manager.

Linfield have given Dundee permission to speak to David Healy about becoming their manager.

Nor Imrie - staying with Morton.

Don’t rise to the bait.

I think you’re spot on MFC. It would certainly make sense for him to stay until the club selects a new manager.

Simples! Get rid of VAR.

Craig Brown & Archie Knox? Kilmarnock? Kettlewell?

I fear you may be right on this. It’s possible our Board are in panic mode (assuming that Wimmer’s departure has come right out of the blue) and of the view they need to make a quick appointment and that could mean they go for what they consider a safe pair of hands. I believe that we passed on Valakari and Van Der Gaag previously. Given the former seems to have St Johnstone’s owner’s approval then maybe Van Der Gaag’s time has come.

Good debating this with you, and yes I don’t think we’re miles apart on where we’d like to be with our 1st team squad.

Sorry Kmcalpin but I have to disagree with you on that point. Our first team squad of 32 players is way too big and needs to be culled. We’ve got 10 players on loan so once they return to their parent clubs the squad size reduces to 22. Then I would offer up the following 9 players as dead wood that needs to be gotten rid of: O’Donnell, Seddon, Blaney, Zadrovski, Halliday, Callachan, Paton, Nicholson and Robinson so that reduces the squad size down to 13 which is obviously too small. I believe our first team squad size should be 18 and that we add quality and not quantity to get there.

Showing my age now but I remember Donovan’s “There is Mountain” being played when I started going to FP around 1967.

I couldn’t give a monkey’s chuff about the complaining and moaning from Dundee and the media concerning their 2nd goal being chalked off. How many outrageous decisions have we been on the end of this season with referees and VAR. Jeez there were two absolute howlers in one game a couple of weeks ago against Kilmarnock and both were wrong.

Yes, be good to win the last 3 games but it doesn’t matter now because most unlike us we’ve sorted it out early. Let’s just hope we can avoid this in future.
