Not disputing that but he started the rot that has led to where we are today.
Let’s not eh? He is one of our most successful managers in our history. The “rot” also could’ve finally ended with one of our best squads (2015/16) in modern history taking the last wee step..

It appears he gave up on the striker role and forged a solid career as a defender.

Gerhard Fellner coming to Falkirk and getting a place in the 1997 Cup Final Squad caused a lot unrest with fringe squad members who had played well in earlier rounds, they and regular starters, also didn’t rate him what so ever and couldn’t fathom out why Totten had signed him.
I’m thinking the fringe players were Graham Mitchell, Kenny Ward and Mark McGraw (shiver).

Meanwhile, FFC just got a mention in the Celtic game. Gerhard Fellner is Assistant Manager for the Hungarian team!

Some of the statistics under Sheerin - beyond the four wins in eleven league games, a sacking offence in itself -make for pretty horrendous reading. We haven’t scored a first half goal in any league game since Keena at Airdrie on 14th August. We haven’t led in a league game at any point - not for a single second - since Clyde at home on 21st August. Awful stuff, truly pathetic.
Would defeat at Broadwood be enough to see the back of him? Probably not. M&M and McKinnon were emptied for less. Other than the clowns destroying our club there cannot be anyone who truly believes he is going to get us promotion this season.
Let’s not rewrite history, M and M were on a similar shocking run of results.

The first part aye 100%.
The second though holy f**k man. How it will pan out is Hetherington still stinking the place out and playing 90 minutes, McKay shelling goals left, right and centre and more horrific interpretations of football. He’s not the root cause here but he needs punted. Now. Comfortably worse than both McKinnon and dumb and dumber. Probably worse than Eddie May tbh.Eddie May was bad but he was bad in the TOP TIER.
I agree he’s worse than McKinnon but let’s not forget M and M plummeted to new lows last season so probably about par with them (though like comparing a Lada to an Allegro).

We get pressed high from goal kicks, every player marked and still we play it short then lose the ball in our half and then that’s just repeated again if hit through the game. Then we’ve got captain Hetherington just generally being absolutely fucking horrendous a complete passenger in the middle of the park and Brad fucking McKay’s hilarious attempts at passing the ball and defending. We’ve had our share of horrendous centre backs in recent years (Dallison, Harrison, McKenna, Buchanan, Durnan) but McKay is comfortably worse than them all. Like it’s not even close or up for debate.That really does beggar belief.

So is it still too much tippy tappy stuff or do we ever try and mix it up?
Today was the closest I came to attending this season but thankfully, with this shower, I didn’t.

Is it just me or does anyone else read ‘Rawlings’, ‘TFS’ or ‘stadium’ and instantly scroll. We need folk to keep an eye on things but I long for the day that these topics are firmly in the background.

I saw the cup final classics final the other night on the BBC and the one thing that stuck out was that run from Alston that got their player sent off. Good few years ago now but what a shadow of the player he was.

Reading these past few pages on this thread has been eye-bleeding.

In the last 30 years, who would be the midfielder to play alongside Latapy (has to be him) in the midfield in a best of X1 with a 4-4-2 formation? I’ve always been a bit reluctant to say Vaulks because he never played in the top flight but I think it has to be him, just because he’s the all-round package and firm fan favourite.

Both of those things could probably be used to describe the appointment of Miller and McCracken tbf
“To me to you”, that was their team talk!

The man just absolutely can't stand not being seen as important. Ego maniac.
Yep, car and all the trimmings would heavily suggest that too.

One of my mates works in the commercial department at Brisbane Roar, they couldn't wait to see the back of him.
And you're spot on with your description.
Being a bit of a podcast fan myself, I listened to his ‘God pod’ series recently. Might be birthday caird pish but he does seem to be well-thought of in the game and came across down-to-earth.

You’ve taken gender identity to far.
I’m just glad Mutch isn’t the other Centre Half.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s not a chance in hell that Robbie Fowler is going to rock up at this clusterf*ck of a club, but it’s the sort of appointment I’d prefer to see us make this time round. It’s utterly depressing reading the same old washed-up names being touted for the job every time it becomes available, with absolutely no guarantees whatsoever that any of them will be a success given what they’ll be working under. We’ve went down the experienced and rookie path before, both have taken us on a journey into the abyss. I just want something a bit left-field this time. A name that if fu*k all else, will generate a bit of excitement for once.
And it would be “for once”. Don’t think we’ve ever had a left-field appointment.
Edit: Jim Duffy (still a rookie though).

Scott Brown had the worst case of Paul McStay Syndrome since, well, Paul McStay.
Could have been genuinely brilliant but happy to stay in his comfort zone scudding Hamilton and Ross County eight times a season.
I admire him for sticking around. Some easy games for sure but not without tough games either.
I doubt as well he’d have had as prolonged a career if he played the way he did at Hibs.

Watch the goal again- the ball was going out.
I did. I think it could’ve been hitting the post. No way was he in a position to judge that. I think he could’ve just done better with the save.

Watch it again.
McCracken gets his positioning all wrong, lets the ball bounce over his head, and when he should have committed a cheeky shirt pull and take a booking, lets the attacker go through which leads to the chance.
I'm not saying MacDonald shouldn't have done better, but if McCracken had done his job properly ICT wouldn't have been within fifty yards of the box.
I think it’s more the positioning than commiting a foul. He’s been outmuscled and by the time there’s a chance to tug the shirt he’s been spun round and facing the other way from the opponent.

It was Jamie Macdonald palming the ball out to the Inverness player when no save even needed to be made that cost us the cup final.
Yep, should’ve just let it go by him

We were still in the top flight and he didn’t appoint Eddie May.
