    Also, why is the club still using twitter?

    This is a fair shout, I don't have a twitter account and used to be able to read the club's twitter for updates. Musk seems to have blocked me (and many others) from seeing the club twitter unless I sign up. I have no interest in signing up. There has to be a better vehicle to raise awareness of the club and its activities tbh.

    Not sure where the North Terrace residents are but we seem to have more than our fair share of Enclosure George types on this thread repeating his You’ve had enough time McLeod/Stuart/McLeod/McLean/Caldwell/McLeod/Burley etc mantra towards Bullen. Not sure even George would have had the front to have been rolling out his favourite shout to a man who’d been in the role for 18 months, kept us up after taking over from two of the biggest charlatans to inhabit the AUFC manager’s office and then deliver our highest league finish in a generation.

    I like the McGeady signing for his experience in the game which he can hopefully pass on to the squad, the potential contribution we could still see from him on the pitch and whatever him being Technical Director is going to mean for the club’s infrastructure. If Bullen was to leave then I suspect McGeady would be an obvious temporary/permanent replacement  from within the club but it’s wild to think he’s been brought in with a view to Bullen getting the bullet in the short term and surely even the hard of thinking on this site don’t really believe that’s why he’s been acquired. 

    Tbf to the anti-Bullen brigade (I was on the fence but I'm marginally in anti territory these days) the style of football has been painful to watch. Especially at Somerset. When you are winning games it's fine but second half of the season it wasn't great. You are of course right a 2nd place finish is our highest and he gets credit for it. You can only play what's in front of you and we got 2nd. The playoffs were an aberration irrespective of any excuses.

    I agree with McGeady. I also think folk are just puting 2 and 2 together that he is a manager in waiting. To be honest, the way he spoke in his interview I think he's more interested in the behind the scenes role like Mathies rather than manager. I hope he'll be a positive influence on and off the pitch.

    I also think it shows others that we are a  serious club and as I said previously it hopefully does away with the plucky/wee Ayr tag (I fucking hate that!).

    How long does it take stuff to arrive from ordering online from the club shop?  I ordered something from china 4 days before ordering the top and that's made its way across continents.  

    I'm not sure, I was thinking of ordering stuff but figured I was best phoning the shop and getting it put aside for the game against Alloa next weekend.

    I want a full strip for my son (it may even be the pink one as his boots are pink & black!) but I could only seem to buy the top online as well.

    Superfans. Riled, how come? A clearly edited interview on YouTube has literally got folk frothing at the mouth on here.

    Since McGeady arrived, according to the brains of the outfit on here, he's going to be taking the jobs of Glendinning or Bullen.

    Tomorrow it'll be Mathie's and by the middle of next week it'll be Robbo's and Jason the groundsman.

    Some folk on here, the f**k must they be like in their day jobs......

    FWIW, you object to being called a superfan and being riled. You then refer to other posters as frothing at the mouth, suggest they aren't very smart and bemoan what they must be like in their day jobs. Not really helping raise the level of discourse if you ask me.

    I didn't see the Stirling game but his distribution and positive decision making were a couple of the things that stood out for me against Stenhousemuir, moreso in the first half.

    He's certainly an athlete. I think he'll do well, I'm just not sure he's at the level to dislodge Frankie.

    He'll get chances anyway as Frankie will be on international or injured (hopefully not!).

    Is Frankie injured at the moment?

    I think Frankie might have competition from Stanger for the rcb job. I've been really impressed with him so far.

    We could maybe put Musonda to right back? The answer was there all along!

    Every rose has its thorn.

    I'll be interested in how Stanger does against better opposition. He still looked a bit raw to me against Stirling Albion (early doors he had a few moments, but the whole defence did). He was also one of the worst for not looking up and simply refusing to pass to the man in space (usually Watret on the right).
