The majority of us grunts who are wage slaves have to work a notice period before leaving a post. Perhaps that should also apply to football managers. A notice period that runs to the start of the next transfer window. At least that way the clubs could take a bit of time to consider who to bring in as a replacement, and the new manager would have a transfer window to work with.

Really?! Didn't realise it was that long ago.

Did O'Hara not win it last year? I probably just made that up because he should have.

Well, you described my initial reply as 'nonsense'. Aside from being factually inaccurate, that wasn't very nice now, was it?

Read this SLOWLY.... All Tesco were obliged to do under the terms of the sale contract was to fund the build of an SPL compliant stadium.

The size of the stadium wasn't based on any projection of potential attendances. It was based on the requirement in the sale contract of Love Street that Tesco build an SPL compliant stadium.

How curious. A congregation of middle-aged men whose voices haven't broken. As you were....

An unfortunate outcome from a robust challenge for the ball. Nothing more to it.

Just checked in, only to read posts about Alan fucking Stubbs and Douglas fucking Ross! As if Sundays evenings weren't enough of a downer....

Wasn't at the game this afternoon. I hear the goalkeeper did well? Perhaps @Ric can confirm....

Correct. As is the case with 'jobbie', contrary to what some ill-informed folk might have you believe.

FFS, talk about money for old rope.

Innocent? Poor wee lamb

That screenshot will never get old!

I have been a very grateful recipient if this kindness, so can absolutely confirm.

Probably a degree of inevitability around that, sadly. That said, who would grudge the guy a shot at a bigger club with considerably more money coming his way? He is a level or two above where he is just now Main thing is we can arrange some form of replacement. Won't be like for like, as we got lucky with Strain. A last day of the window departure would be an even bigger kick in the stones if it left us with no time to ring anyone in.

Aye, I think we all hope he does a job. No doubt we'll be revisiting frequently throughout the season.

Fair enough.

My reading was that he was slow to get down because he was hedging his bets in terms of where La Fondre was going to put the shot. It was a very good counter-attacking move and he was left horribly exposed.

Spot on. The striker was at an ideal angle and had space and time to select how to put the ball away.

You need to get over Carson. He's gone, and he really wasn't that spectacular anyway. Hemming wasn't at fault for the goal. La Fondre had the goal at his mercy, the perfect angle to choose where he was placing the shot, and he stroked it away well. Unless you expect a keeper to cover every square foot of his goal when one on one, it seems entirely unreasonable to hold him responsible for conceding the goal.

The BBC have surpassed themselves here.... First off, we won! Second, a team can't snatch a point in a "5 goal thriller". Third, they haven't included the winner in the fucking highlights!

Post of the season (so far)!

As unexpected as our winner might have been at the time, it was nowhere near as unexpected as Michael Stewart agreeing with the penalty award!
