Not sure what he even gave that for, never a penalty. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

What's the deal with their fans getting up to no good at the women's game at fir park today? Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

He's prone to the same weirdness as Sol, and just as bad with the ball at his feet. I'm not calling for us to get rid of him, but we have problems if he's our best defender. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Bevis isn't good, but I can't help but like him. The big awkward bastard exorcised the demons of the last time he played up front at livi by making two goals happen by sheer presence. He gets the nod from me because Lamie is a quitter. Kelly in second for his platoon celebration. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

I'm also frequently deployed at left back, but just play left wing anyway, cos fuck that, it's the Memphis rec leagues. Carroll isn't good, and while McGinley may be better in some aspects (such as cleverness), he's not my favorite either. However, it does seem unlikely that we'll bring in another LB unless Carroll goes to St. Mirren. A first choice actual center back who has some degree of mobility is a must. I don't care how good looking he is or whether he's culturally Scandinavian. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Overall, he got us top six with a genuine chance of 4th, while also sucking the joy out of the game. I doubt that the latter will be remembered when tickets go on sale for our euro home clash against Albania's (4th) finest. I wonder if he'll chuck on the reserves for the early European games if we get in, since he won't have the league cup to mess around with. Fair play to GA for sticking to his methods, which ultimately worked. Who knows if it's just pure luck or moneyball data driven magic. It's also clear that the players are sticking to what they're told, we don't panic and we have shown great resolve to push through this shite run and get ourselves back into games where previous teams would have chucked it. It doesn't feel like there's still five games left. Even though there's some interest left, with Europe, finishing above T.Watt, and maybe screwing up a title challenge for someone, I'm already in close season mode.

Did he not screw up his own contract as well by turning it in late or something? Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

The managers job is to win games and get us as high up the league as possible. If he pulls off the result at the weekend (even if we scrape a dire 0-0 and other results help us out) and we get top six, then he deserves the credit. Just the same as he deserves to get slated if the opposite happens. The style of football hasn't been great, but there aren't any points available for entertainment value. Hopefully we can make a couple of tweaks to the squad and a solid preseason with a relatively settled group will result in more exciting football, kind of how it came together for McLean back in the day after a few years of turgid stuff. It isn't a guarantee, but it's what's keeping me going. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

It's been fun watching bitter Richard Tait wind himself up to the point of giving us points. He should have been sent off in the last game for his tackle on Donnelly, but made up for it by getting mugged for the equalizer, then he had a virtuoso display of enabling the opposition with his performance on Saturday. If all we did was hoof it long, but somehow scored 4 goals out of it, maybe they should have tried the same? I'm sure they will now that Robbo is in survival mode.

O'Donnell does get way more stick than he deserves. Thought he had a decent game. I expected him to cut onto his right all game, but he played some decent balls into the channels with his left, and could have come away with a goal if their keeper hadn't made a good block. Sol and Lamie were both poor, with frequent daft mistakes between them. The first goal was unfortunate, and more the fault of whatever that was on the right touchline. I can only assume their second stood because the ref got confused by the number of fouls they committed all at once and he panicked. I'm glad Cornelius is getting a real run in the team, hopefully he can cement that place. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

The international break hysteria is ratcheting up I see. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

That's some list. Did they nick GAs tombola for it? Looks like they just picked a random player from each non-OF team. Amazing that they decided on Iacovitti from County. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

If we finish 9th after being 4th for most of the season, he's getting binned. If we finish 6th or above, he'll stay and deserves it. In between is a grey area and we can all fight. Motherwell rules. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

If the wages posted on that site we're true (most probably not) you'd need to compare them to those of similar players at other clubs to get an idea of what is ridiculous or what is just market rate. 2k per week may seem excessive, but if that's what every mid table jobber is getting paid, then it's just the market.

Has the academy been abandoned? I think reserve football isn't happening, but not so sure about the academy. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

So, who do we have left that's out of contract? Grimshaw, Donnelly, Roberts, Amaluzor... Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

As far as his recruitment goes, I can't remember the last time we had a squad where there's only one player I'd be gutted to lose, and for the record, at the time I thought we'd recruited well. This seems very Gannon-y, where we dont find out the signings are good until another manager uses them.

Just play an XI of Robinsons signings and confuse the fuck out of him with him being in the home dugout as well. Wear the Livingston strips too for the extra headfuck. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

If we still insist on 3 up front: Kelly SOD Sol Lamie Carroll Donnelly Slattery Cornelius Woolery KVV Roberts If we want to abandon ineffective wingers and not kid ourselves on that KVV will bring others into the game: Kelly Sod Sol Mugabi Lamie Carroll Cornelius Donnelly Slattery Goss KVV I don't care too much if Ojala and McGinley are in there instead. As far as Cornelius goes, maybe we should play Shaw, but we might as well get some development time for our own guy. SOD and Carrol may work better as wingbacks if there's an actual midfield. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

I agree with KVV as the lone striker with two more in midfield. Our wingers are ineffective, and Van Veen doesn't use them anyway. Two out of Goss, Tierney, Slattery and O'Hara is probably an upgrade over shields and Efford. However, that lineup would only work if we start passing the ball. My worry would be that we'd set up that way, and punt the ball up to KVV anyway. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

This has been some season for shite managers. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

That rumour has being going for a while and could be bollocks. However, whether the player is right or wrong, what do you expect a manager to do if a player undermines him? In this case I don't think it's any more than what the manager said publically. Alexander said that Slattery needed to improve his fitness/discipline, and that he had to be managed due to this being his first season of first team football. I believe GA is telling the truth there, although I don't agree that we need to limit the minutes of a 23 year old, who is at an age where he needs to be learning by playing games. The same goes for all the body language analysis that has begun now that we're getting shite results. There seems to be enough team spirit there, and we're not chucking games. I'm not seeing a lack of effort out there either. I don't think our situation is any more complex than our manager not being that good. Also, if our board read this forum regularly we'd be firing managers left right and center and ripping up player contracts every week. The fact is online fandom is a small percentage of our fan base, and often hits the extremes with bubbles for each. The attendance for the next game will tell the story if there is one.

Watt wanted to leave and worked with Utd to force our hand. It's pretty clear all that didn't go public without Watt's involvement, and with his history, anyone thinking he would have got over it after a couple of games is kidding themselves. Also, when you start making exceptions to your wage structure, it's a slippery slope. The club did the right thing in this regard. One player wasn't the reason we were 4th at the end of last year, and isn't the reason we're in freefall now. I'm more concerned that we can't keep a consistent lineup together, and aren't maximizing the minutes of our best players. We've stuck by some poor performers, whilst others have a short leash for some reason. This erratic decision making is killing us and is 100% on the manager, who seems to be more focused on making a point than doing his job. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

This top six myth is killing us, we're in free fall and kidding ourselves on. While it is still mathematically unlikely to finish 11, we look like a team that could defy those odds spectacularly. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk
