It's the difference between having a squad of young fit players and has been/never been unfit and injury prone guys. It underlines the importance of guys likes Hateley and Reynolds who never missed a game for years and credit should go to Lasley and Sutton who have been almost ever presents since the summer before last.

I'm sure that I read he was involved in the process of interviewing for the new manager and that he went to Barbados to meet Hutchinson so there is obviously some responsibility involved.

There's a difference between getting beat and taking an absolute pasting off a team who were in the first division last season. The same as 14 goals in 24 domestic games isn't being poor it's a complete crisis.

You must have been at different games to me. 3-1 away to killie, 3-0 away to aberdeen, 3-1 at home to hearts, 3-3 away to rangers, 6-6 with hibs, 3-0 at home to aalesunds, 4-0 at home to st johnstone, 2-0 away to hearts twice. All games where we played some great football and looked like a proper team.

We were better the two seasons before, under McGhee, in the mid 90s plus the team that won the cup. That season we finished 10 points ahead of a Ross County team who were utter pish.

He barely played under Craig. Brown and Knox were a good management team it's just a shame they were snakes.

He's surely the most senior full time employee at the club. He has to have some responsibility?

We were extremely lucky last season in a lot of games and Hutchinson is a massive loss.

1 shot on target today. 7 shots on target from 5 games under Barraclough. This is a terrible team.

I wonder if that will be Henrik's last contribution? It's a 3 game ban for violent conduct i think.

The cheap option but you also have to consider we have an inexperienced general manager, a inexperienced chairman and an inexperienced owner. Dealing with an amiable Englishman probably seemed easier than demanding Dutchmen.

We didn't deserve either of those wins on the balance of play.

Are you talking about me or Henrik? His attitude has been terrible recently.

Because he signed them all!

He got sent off. Not at the game but guessing it was due to usual shite attitude, plastic hardman pish we often see from him.

Putting a guy who had never won a trophy in a 25 year career as a player and manager in charge of the national team was madness. Not surprised you approved after reading the happy clappy stuff you post on here.

Surely we didn't give a guy sacked by Sligo Rovers a water tight contract? Souness and Strachan were the men for the Scotland on either occassion but they didn't get the job because weak characters at the SFA were intimidated by them and chose the easy option. It looks like we chose nice guy Trevor who won't demand anything from the board rather than one of the Dutchmen who would have been more forceful.

If we continue to concede 3 times as many as we score we're fucked!

This appointment reminds me of George Burley and Craig Levein getting the Scotland job. Neither were the best candidate but they got it because the SFA thought they wouldn't rock the boat.

The Barraclough era is not going well.

He's started 14 games, 9 of them league matches. 4 wins all in. 12 sub appearances.

I often wonder how we have coped for 128 years without an AstroTurf park.

I would suggest he has a very good agent given that Mark Hughes took him with him from Blackburn to Man City and now Steve Kean (who was also at Blackburn) appears to want to sign him.

He doesn't half land on his feet Gunnar. I thought he'd be working on a fishing boat next season but he's got a chance of playing for the Crown Prince of Brunei's team in the Singapore league.

Africa would be trading up.
