  1. As some have said he's articulate and says the right things - fitness, high pressing, application, and as he has proved likes slick football. Revealed he knows and likes how we play and the type of player we have, hinting appreciation towards McGlynn. Not so sure the players will fancy a six day week 'tho!
  2. Aye, sure. As for your reminiscing about the time you were scoring freely in the seaside league, just reflect that you couldn't score against a fairly average First Division side in two games recently. McPake isn't the answer. Remember, while you're struggling to score in Division 1 for the next few seasons you'll be the wee team along the road.
  3. Ah, I knew you couldn't answer. Next question which you'll evade - why is my post stupid? Hint - the criteria for stupidity is not your unwillingness to accept fact
  4. As I recall from last season McPake isn't noted for open attacking play, so dream on. I'm so glad we didn't appoint McPake, he's likely to be no better than Yogi.
  5. Please explain, if you can, how predicted that Yogi would be your manager, that he would be a disaster, then predicting McPake before he was even favourite, and now predicting he'll be shite, make me the total fucking walloper instead of you...
  6. All this good news, potential as well as actual is getting too much to bear; this is the Rovers, it's not supposed to happen...
  7. I'm glad we won't have St Johnstone with parachute money to contend with in the new season. I'm not bothered by this ICT "hoodoo", our bad luck against them has to change sometime and I see no reason why it won't change this time around.
  8. Yea, I realise that. What I'm getting at is the predictions of Partick and Ayr fans about his attitude and lack of application, which some on here have been influenced by. I get the full back support bit, but I haven't seen any suspicion of lack of application. I do get frustrated by his tendency to put good chances over the bar, something he needs to work on.
  9. I don't like that some folk are turning against Zanatta. After being a standout he was heavily marked in games but even then looked like he could get goals out of nothing. I don't see anything amiss in his attitude as was predicted when he came.
  10. Nothing confirmed about any of our out of contract players. Probably a combination of players on holiday and showing us a bit of courtesy while we get a new manager in. Good, I hope we can re sign Tumilty, and Spencer of course.
  11. What became of the rumour that Tumilty had agreed to join St Murn?
  12. "Slick style of play" - that's what I like to hear; he'll inherit players who have been coached his way
  13. I'm sympathetic to Airdrie losing Murray after feeling the disappointment of McGlynn and Smith going to Falkirk. I hope likewise you find a decent replacement.
  14. While it's superficially similar it's not a German font - it's called Roman Black.
  15. Aye, he does. I suspect the board aren't that brave though and for that reason I think they'll go for Murray (assuming it's between these two).
  16. Nothing like feeling like spewing looking at the Val McDermid sign. I hope it's ATF for the start of the new season.
  17. Exactly my thinking; Thomson looks a greater risk but could be a real winner. I'm not bothered that he's a Rangers fan, but maybe not such a stable influence on the dressing room as Murray. I think the latter is a safer pair of hands. It's a hard choice.
  18. They're obviously different in many respects but both are advocates of attacking football and can organise a team. I can't say who I prefer but will be pleased with either.
  19. I wish, but naw, probably still too many i's to dot even if they know the man they want.
  20. Well, I'd rather have a skelp in the pus than a boot in the goolies
