Absolutely, this is what I said on the Dundee thread.

Nice one, enjoy. All about opinions. I don't mind being wrong in the long term, in fact I would take great satisfaction in it.

Herein lies my feelings thus far. I don't see that he has the rocket up the arse mentality. Cuddly managers like Klopp, Guardiola and to a degree Askou, have plenty of bite under the surface. Arteta, O'Neill, McInnes have some quite aggressive attitudes. We've got a Gray/Goodwin....and that will inevitably fail imo.

Ah I see! Yeh Facebook and Twitter feeds all full of trolls, fair enough. On this forum, we can have a sensible debate!

Why can't you predict anything negative? I've no need to have a long hard look at myself. I've not seen anyone who wants the manager removed at this juncture and nor should we be even entertaining this. However, my prediction is that he won't cut it, for a number of factors I have seen so far. We need to give him some time to figure out if my gut feeling comes correct.

We are so slow at getting the ball up to strikers that every time it's 3 taking on 10. If you have someone like Maswanhise in the team, get it into his feet when it's 1 on 1. Said is facing similar difficulties.

This is reminding me of nice guy Stevie Hammell.........

Really tough. I love Priestman I think he's going to be fantastic. But Hodge could be really great too. So um. Paulsen Koutroumbis JKL Moorman Longelo Priestman Hodge Fadinger Lowry Maswanhise Kanga Lowry playing a Just role.......false 9 would be the only way to do it because Maswanhise can't play as a central striker Williams, Thor, Said, JGR, Charles Cook would be 5 great subs

There is always constructive points that need to be raised that may sound negative about specific factors. A bit like Grizzly I stay on the positive side of things and I've raised hundreds of positive comments before. I'd like to raise a couple of points - that I think went wrong yesterday. I believe after the St Mirren game - and the managers emphasis after the game about chasing goals led to us pulling back a bit yesterday on risk appetite. Playing out of the back is fine when you break the ball to Watt (last season) or Priestman to then push it forward to the next line of attack. There is far less point in it when you break the press and don't get it moving forward quickly enough. We can play 30+ perfect passes to face 8 v 10 in the opposition box. The reward is to break the press and use our pace otherwise we hold onto possession as a relief but our likelihood of getting chances is far less great. This was a big fault yesterday. I think the forum allows especially after a defeat to analyse what I think we can do better.

Well lets fact check that. Rangers 1 Hibs 2 Rangers had 27 shots at goal.

The first two for me haven't had enough proper gametime. I think big Eythor deserves a chance to play over 90 mins, we need to add a little physicality to that area

For me Charles Cook ran close to Sparrow for that accolade

He's only quick to post when there is something negative to say.

He couldn't wait to get his wee snidey word in. Games not done yet either.

There will be someone with some statistics but I think 60% of goals of FP come at that end. There you go, I've hung my hat on this made up stat.

Much of this debate is about either or. It's both - if we beat freiburg over two legs we would recognise this as one of the best results in our history. Now to do both, he should have played the best players from the start and tried to put the game to bed. Many had to play 45 mins anyway in one form or another. So it's not worked in any shape or form. The way we play we need a lot of legs and forward thinking from our full backs as standard. Strikers need supply and we were never going to get that today. It's way to early for Booth, he's neat but creates little impact. I'm really disappointed in RCC overall. I think I am done, waiting on the transformation.

Beaten before a ball is kicked.

Damn just read he missed a penalty v Celtic that lost us a semi final. I just remember him hitting a shot so hard in the tennent sixes that no one could tell if it went in or not.

John Philliben

At that age he will get on well with our 35 year old chairman!

Oops! Sorry 2 large vinos down!

Great point - a bit of common sense here would have seen someone else referee the match. Preventable.

Absolutely rotten post. The guys have done their all in the last two games and played their hearts out (pardon the pun) against two teams going for the title. This isn't a Motherwell 0-4 in previous seasons in similar circumstances. Woeful post.

Rewind. Watt kicks the ball off a Celtic player. Shy Celtic at a pivotal time.
