Dundee United v Motherwell 07/11/2026

In reality it doesn’t matter whether people think his comments are in bad taste or not 

managers are paid well to do a job & the decision makers won’t be reading this forum & going we should act on that 

there’s simple facts 

13 points from 13 games is not good enough 

Getting knocked out the cup by a team beaten by Morton today is not good enough 

people can argue this is better, we’re improving here & here 

the only facts are points

Whether you agree with the term "tick tock" or not, I don't think its in bad taste. Wellfan could equally have phrased it like "time is running out" or similar. He calls a spade a spade and thats ok in my book. I'm not saying he is always 100% right, no one ever is, but his opinions generally merit serious consideration. He is more often right than wrong. 

AJ has gained some credit in the past 3 games, without doubt, but there are still unanswered questions. For me, the jury is still very much out. Some big games, winnable ones, coming up, and he will be put to the test. 

Its a results driven business, but I still have major doubts about our defence, midfield, and attack. Questions too about our style of play, although theres no doubt thats its far superior to Alexanderball and Kettleball.

We have a young manager who has moved his family to Scotland to commit fully to making a success of the Motherwell managers job. If it had been up to people like yourself he would have lost that job a few weeks ago and his life would have been in a form of turmoil.

A comment like tick tock suggesting that his position was a ticking time bomb was in bad taste. If you are going to make the comment at least take ownership for it ( I know another shitty modern day phrase). 

The phrase shows a lack of any empathy or concern for the managers position. I don't think that is really open to any interpretation.

It hasn't worked out for you this last few weeks. You may still get your wish but not quite yet.

Here we go again. I didn’t suggest his position was a ticking time bomb. I wrote “Tick tock”. Stop putting words in my mouth. I’m not going to be lectured by someone who’s making an arse of themselves over a two-word comment they’ve wilfully chosen to misinterpret.
