Numbers_One_To_Eleven

It was good to hear about what occurred that brought about the fans on the board writing to the board. This obviously hurt him and made him think twice about his future at the club.

Interview with Yogi and stuff about his time at the club straight from the horses mouth! https://open.spotify.com/episode/0j9QI9MpsrSHT7RCmFzaXf?si=2huXEVI6S0qLTCMMRnbrOg&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A2jTKOVU0uAND8DwprMPlC8

Why exactly? Lots of constructive comments recently on here.

Last paragraph was him getting carried away. The rest of it is representative of a lot fans anger I would imagine.

Give us a break, two and a half years.

Aye me too? Everything done in the house/garden. Falkirk game at home. F**k it, I’m going for a walk....

Trophies in the last 100 years?

Nope, it was unforgivable to me. I’m a Falkirk supporter, it’s not in my interest to give him any benefit of the doubt about that u-turn decision he made.

We do have a history of replacing someone good with something a lot worse. Kirk-Graham; Stokes-Finnigan (though that was quite hard to gauge tbf); Vaulks-Rankin. More recently Rudden-Jarvis. I’m no football manager but surely a little more care (there might be a drop off in quality still), could make a big difference. To the point of surviving a relegation battle and staying in a league and build for the following season.

That Killie game was when the players kicked footballs into the crowd amongst other things to get the support onside. Was a good day that, we then drew at home to Celtic and then collapsed. When I say collapsed, a lot of results were narrow defeats. Partick were there for the taking that season even though we were pretty awful but despite that, we still could’ve scraped a playoff spot. 25 years ago this month we could’ve finished 3rd in the Prem but fell just short. The story of the last quarter of a century. We’ve crushed the league a couple of times but the only time time a season was in the balance with a chance of achieving something was beating Inverness to escape relegation on the last day of the season. Whether it be promotion, cup finals (excluding challenge cup finals) play offs, top 6 or escaping relegation, when the heat is on, we’ve faltered. When the next time comes and something really matters, let’s hope we’re successful.

That’s not right is it?

One more list from me: The 6 out of 10 X1. We’ve got the fantasy 11, then the 11 under that (a Crabbe, or a McQuilken for example). What about a team who were okay, didn’t shine very often but, fair play, weren’t crap too often either. Here’s mine: Westwater Wishart Oliver McGowan F Johnston Lima Colin McDonald Neily Duffy Kevin Drinkell Gareth Hutchinson Paul Smith Remember, you can’t be too good for this team but you can’t be crap very often either?

Well there you go, we can go through something fresh for a wee bit before it gets boring again and repeat. (I jest of course, I know it’s about money).

Forget faffing about with your 14 or 16 team league, I’d go 20. 20 clubs in this country could manage 1500 gates minimum, not much boredom there and we could pretend it’s like the Premiership. 20-12-12. Perfect.

Whenever I think of a humdrum Scottish football club, it’s always, always Greenock Morton.

Never understood the “playing each other too much is boring” view. Damn, I’m really gutted Morton aren’t in the same league, I’m really missing playing them.... Player turnover is pretty high anyway so what’s the big deal?? Fair enough a 4 team league is pushing it but 9 or 11 other teams in your league - it’s alright. Bearing in mind half the teams in this country, though important for local communities, are diddy teams.

Here’s a game idea - Bad day at the office. Anyone remember a game where they didn’t see a bad result coming? My first season was 1990/91 and we lost 2-0 at home to Raith. Stainrod was missing and boy did we look flat that day after trouncing them 7-1 and 4-1 in the other games. Things ended up okay though

Without reading up this is what I came up with: Steve Lovell, Shayne Lavery, Andy Rodgers, Steven Craig, John O’Neill, Burton O’Brien, Mark Stewart, Colin Cramb, Gerard Aafjes.

Drop Farid, move Stainrod and Latapy up one and put Vaulks right in the middle and there you have a team finishing 3rd in the Prem with JJ at the helm!

Where’s the dig in midfield?? Fantastic team but someone surely needs to make a tackle in the middle. Great going forward though.

Has anyone read Michael Whites up-to-date book - 2007-2019?

Yeah I really ought to have Johnson in there. I overlook him a wee bit because of the Lambie season association though he was a shining light.

Marshall Weir McQueen Hughes McLaughlin Fulton McAllister Taylor Stainrod Cadette McWilliams Subs Latapy Stokes Rice Parks Den Bieman Good balance overall, plenty legs and effective subs to come on. May, McGivern, McCall, McQuilken, Barr in my squad too.

It isn’t stupid, Ian McCall managed it after Tottens awful last season.

Not for me, Hamilton and McBride over Sammut. In saying that, it wasn’t really Sammuts fault he was playing.
