It's fine, we'll just put out that video of Jack Hamilton sliding into Sunday. Goodwin was still greeting about it a week after in the Courier.
I wouldnt expect anything less from Fife's second team tbf.
You've taken to your 'Rangers of the championship' role this season like a duck takes to water.

Someone has said on Twitter (yes I know it must be true then) that Dundee Utd have cordoned off the first 6 rows which is causing the reduction in capacity of the stand. That might have some merit as there were boys standing on the wall at the previous fixure with stewards going mental at them. However if that's the reason, just come out and say that's why.
Nah, why would they do that?? By saying nothing they've sent the raith fanbase, board (and hopefully players) into complete meltdown.
I predict they'll be that drained by their week-long tantrum that they'll no be able to concentrate fully come the 30th.
A masterstroke by the utd hierarchy IMHO.

Well I didn't expect to be picturing E.T's bottom on a Friday night. Thanks for that.
Out of interest, which part of E.T's body were you expecting to picture on a Friday night?

Correct it doesn't have to be a Brian Clough or Jim McLean. Just a safe pair of hands to get , what looks from the outside a decent squad of players at this level, back on track and heading in the right direction.Even if there was a Clough or McLean kicking about there's absolutely no chance they'd be successful. It's immediate success or gtf as far as most fans are concerned so they'd both be out the door after their first season.

This is what gets me. Football players are - football players. They’re not scions of the community (see ‘Broony’ above for adequate mirror deflection) and, to be a ‘midfield general’ or an ‘enforcer’ or whatever other term you want, they don’t play nice.
They have worked awful hard to get where they have. That they might not have the nous to see how the pitch and real life are distinct areas shouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone.
Absolutely some have done some terrible things off the pitch. I doubt I’d want to spend time in many of their company. But it seems every other fan wants to jump on any teams signings while turning the absolute blind eye to whatever ne’er do-well has been, is, or is about to sign up, at their club.
Goodwillie, Lennon, Jackson, Gazza, Hateley, Bazza, McFadden, Stokes, Griffiths the list could go onwards from any spectrum of wrongdoing from alleged rape to proven wife beating to philandering with the boss’s wife to promiscuity to wilful tax evasion (irony not lost) to goodness knows what.
There’s lots of nasty people out there. Snowflakes and good guys rarely make the starting XI. To suggest that some sort of moral code becomes a precursor for who’s allowed to play? I’ll leave that to the PnB masses to set the bar based, of course, on their own team’s signing policies.
Me? If he’s a player, adds something to my team and previous misdemeanours have been resolved, it’s the end of the discussion.Personally I'd be all for some sort of general football register/Council/whatever like you see in other professions.
Teachers, doctors, nurses, engineers, accountants etc etc can all be struck off and banned from practicing for those sort of offenses. I see no reason why footballers shouldn't be held to similar standards.
It might even have a positive effect on the game if some of the more colourful ( arseholey) players knew they could lose their career and were forced to focus on their football.

Wouldn’t mind Morris for back up centre half, but not as first choice
Not sure I'd want a player whose sense of direction is so warped they think Dundee and Dingwall are South of Dunfermline anywhere near our back line ever tbh

Some rag called the Collins Dictionary. I’d say DeeMan’s useage of the term has been perfectly comprehensible for at least the last half century.
Pfffft everyone knows the only acceptable dictionary to use is the Oxford English Dictionary.

Where the f**k did you pull that definition from? The encyclopedia for particularly dense children??
Here's a more grown up definition from an age appropriate source.
"The term “GULAG” is an acronym for the Soviet bureaucratic institution, Glavnoe Upravlenie ispravitel’no-trudovykh LAGerei(Main Administration of Corrective Labor Camps), that operated the Soviet system of forced labor camps in the Stalin era."

It has nothing to do with his footballing skills and more that people with those amounts of tattoos are c***s.
Granny by name granny by nature. Guarantee you think they should bring back national service, the belt and separate buses...

Some semblance of managerial ability? He doesn’t know when to make substitutions, when he does they’re the wrong ones, he can’t get the team to stop taking quick free kicks even though they are awful at it, he brought on Emil Lyng in the first play-off semi-final leg against Livi; Emil fucking Lyng.
Semblance of managerial ability my arse.
Yes, as I said if you look at back at his previous jobs you'll see he's clearly not as bad as you want to make out.
United have been on the slide since long before he arrived and it's obvious that changing manager every year hasn't worked, isn't working and will continue not to work.
But let's say you get your way and he goes. Who's your go to guy that's gonna somehow make us romp the league next season?

Playing devils advocate here....
It's been said by quite a few Arabs on here that it looked like Shabba lost the dressing room early doors BUT before that the team were playing well under him.
Could a few of the influential players in the team conspired against him to cause that?
Maybe that's known within the club and that's why he's been asked to stay on, maybe the board have okayed the clear out on that basis.
Gotta agree with this. When you look at how Csaba did in his previous 2 jobs it's clear he's got at least some semblance of managerial ability. Really can't see the point in binning him, it's not like there's a queue of high calibre candidates kicking about to replace him. We'd prob end up with a Barry Smith if we did.
Far better imo to just let laszlo assemble his own squad and get on with it. Unless he resigns Lyng, the he can gtf.

Yes, there's almost as many of those types of soil engineers about today as there are those who offer the counter insight of "a burn runs through this side's system so, of course there's going to be drainage issues that are entirely localised to the 100m x 64m area of the pitch in Dens Park".
