2.30 will be good they are askin the pundits what they think,

craggs will be good , he had all the stats on SK Last week 

It was going quite well until Billy Dodds continued to peddle he myth that Kettlewell resigned because of abuse aimed at his family. 

Derek Ferguson also seems to think it must have been abuse from well fans located in the main stand, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever. 

Neither statement challenged. 

At least the message that whatever it was must have been from a minority of fans (as absolutely no one knows what the abuse actually entailed) is finally being addressed.

Working out a settlement ?

he chucked it !  No settlement dur he walked away, thats my take on it 

Exactly he deserves nothing but the way the club have acted the last few days I wouldn't be surprised if we have been daft enough and paid him his contract.

Craggs not on today but worth tuning inn early morra as he will be on, and last week he was quite vocal so i would imagine hees had 5 days to add to his info

Then we will see it in the club accs, unless there accountant hides it under

another outgoing time, will tell, but if they have then there will be questions to be asked,  if your due nothing, then you get nothing

Tam mentioned a very small minority,  a " pocket" I think , he said, so quite specific

Now that we are 7th is it OK to say we are shite and SK was not the great young manager we've all been told. 😁

 

StJ beating St Mirren and doing their best to put the wind up us and the rest of the shite. 

 

UPDATE.. we are back up to 6th SKL was fab😁

Killie drawing or winning later on would make that into one hell of a tight league from 3rd to 11th. There's a 'manager of the month' award between Europe and a play off.

I said for weeks I think we are one of the two fall guys this season and have seen absolutely nothing to make me change my mind.

Possibly, but no one else is consistent enough. Look at St Mirren today or Aberdeen's spectacular collapse, and Dundee's performance today. Everyone is capable of winning or losing against anyone anytime, outside the top 2.

I only need to look at these teams when they play us and also watch a lot of the other teams live and I stand by my assertion. Watched the St Mirren v St Johnstone game and it was pish but both of them played more football in 45 mins that we do in two games. If we continue to play as we have my bet is safe.

One year we will be het for the drop , hopefully all these new faces and injury clearing up can help us this time...Aberdeen in free fall too?

id be a bit more optimistic if I saw us addressing the worst part of the team - midfield - instead of bringing in an endless line of strikers. With a midfield so weak we will continue to ignore it and play hoofball,  so most of these strikers are up against it from day one.

I know what you're saying, but if we could get Nicholson,  Slattery and Miller on park, I'm sure it'd look better but that looks a bit off again.

This Kilmarnock v Dundee Utd game would turn you to stone, so maybe there is hope for us. Campbell doing nowt so far to stand out from the pish on show.. 

Yes thought that midweek draw in Jan was dire but this Killie game sounds similar. Also st midden loosing to st Johnston gives us a bit of perspective. Not much between the pish teams. Fine margins.

For all the talk of our recent run definitely nowhere near as bad as Aberdeen at the minute

To go from almost full points with the exception of one draw in November to going something like 14 league games without a win is quite crazy

If Campbell was that good he wouldn't have been released past few clubs.

Like we were, have they been sussed out by the other teams after the first round of games.

That's what I find so infuriating, everyone from 3rd down is pish and we wouldn't need that much of an improvement to challenge Dundee Utd but frankly I can't see where our improvement is coming from. Killie now 1-0 up and both these teams are garbage.

Just watching some videos of Aberdeen fans after todays game hurling some amount of abuse at Thelin who to his credit came over and applauded them.

Same circumstances as us different outcome.

Wonder what the media darlings will have to say about that?.

Not really sure tbh. He might be the next casualty if they keep on losing. They are fourth now so he's not under immediate pressure but if they keep losing he will be one way or another 

Seen someone couple of days back suggesting Stuart Kettlewell is the next Aberdeen manager. They did of course bring Alan Burrows name into it suggesting old pals etc

IMO Kettlewell has realised that after losing to St Johnstone for the second time he has a very small window to get out without his reputation taking a hit. Top six when he left but could have been bottom 6 before playing another game. If anybody’s saying he received more abuse than Rodgers, Lennon, Clement, Thelin or any other manager who’s struggling at points in their career I think they’re at it. What he’s done is free himself up at a time when other teams are going to be sacking managers and looking for replacements. I won’t be surprised if he pops up in another job in the next few weeks. Would be ironic if it was Aberdeen after the abuse Thelin was getting today.
