Here’s one for the fans of yesteryear the 1969 semi against a very good Aberdeen team with a defence marshaled by Martin Buchanan we played our best ninety minutes of that season that day at Parkhead a Johnston hatrick a couple from Penman and another from bunion Billy but the day’s best remembered for a display of centre forward play from Colin Stein he was superb that afternoon unplayable and against a very good defence we hammered them that day even their goal came from one of our own Jim Forrest.

Manager on a hiding to nothing with this presser but nothing in here to suggest an understanding of why fans are so disappointed and what we do expect on a game-by-game basis. There remain too many questions about this transitional period and very few answers. Onto Sunday...

Think some of our vocabulary challenged peers may prefer this one. 🤣

'Stalking' can be pathetic when used consistently.

THE financial expert could be the answer. Barry Ferguson could be appointed as our CEO, DOF and first team manager. Why did nobody think of this?

Steady fella - I may be a "senior" but not a complete old codger (apologies to those older than me😃 ).

I think the problem is that when the manager has changed things up, it hasn't worked and he's had to change it at halftime (Sunday and Wednesday are prime examples). This leads to the notion that whilst the starting 11 aren't great, we have very little depth to the squad. Given that, a change of formation may be the way forward. Get Dessers and Igamane in a 4-4-2 with Cerny and Bajrami wide / playing in and around the front 2. Current Motherwell will be looking at this game 99.9% sure how we will set-up and what our starting 11 will be and will play their game around this. The manager has nothing to lose, he's a dead man walking in the eyes of a growing number of fans. He needs to do something different and do it soon, for all our sakes and sanity 😃

I honestly can't see it. More of the same, in all likelihood, unfortunately.

No, but we have an obligation to buy him.

There was a brother George if I remember correctly it was around that time they perfected a first class offside trap infuriating to play against but very effective at catching out their opponents.

We’ve not bought Cortes yet

Agreed. Back in the box ‘til we win the League again. In the meantime:

I think all the talk about tactics really overstates how important they are. Of course you need a well set up team, but at the end of the day it's the quality of the players and their motivation to play for the team that will win us games.

Time to ditch Tina Simply the best for something more appropriate

If you don't think about it then it makes loads of sense.

And previously nobody was running it - easiest Billion or 2 the Glazers ever made!

It's weird. Any normal person would realise what they're doing isn't working and either try to change it or apply for a job somewhere else. It's happening all over the footballing world and is making the sport more boring to watch.
