I winna disagree wi that, I jist dinna think Cormack will pull the trigger, and if he disnae, tae save face or he truly believes Glass has something aboot him - fit dis he de? Next weakest link, get that Russel tae f**k, we’ve learned the drills at set pieces, job done, noo we need an experienced heid that can organise a defence and kens fit tae de in a crisis.

Why is he nae the assistant manger? This is partly my point, naebody kens fah the number 2 is. Apparently it’s Broon, but he’s on the pitch. Fah dis Glass turn tae? Russel has been referred tae as assistant manager numerous times in the press. Start o the season Russel looked like a no. 2, constantly conversing wi Glass, noo it looks like Goalie coach briefs the subs etc. Fuckin shambles

Gie us an example o yir ‘facts’ that have left us tae 3 points?

Craig wis an incoherent mess, but, his point is true, basing yir hail success on set pieces? Gies a break

Fitiver ye de, dinna criticise the backroon

Why nae, the manager is rightly a target, for a team that has as much possession as we do without getting a strike on goal - surely the specialist striking coach can sort that oot?

I dinna ken the bloke, but, we were telt Broon was assistant manager - really? Fan yir also the team captain? Bollocks. That leaves Russel, woopty fuckin do. Glass looks, week on week, mair isolated, even in the dug oot. Russel is a charlatan

f**k aff, fit you pulling some kind o lang time poster rank like?

Div you fancy the hoor like? Fit is this live in wi Russel? Glass may nae be a manager, I accept that, but Russel is nivir in a million years a no. 2. Again, I accept maybe get rid o Glass, which of course also means get rid o Russel and Alapo, but, if yir Cormack and ye truly believe in Glass, for the love o f**k, get somebody experienced tae help him oot.

Sorry, but this is jist shite. The assistant manager, (canna count Broon in this role, he’s captain.. aye it’s fucked up). Craig Broon spiks some affa shite but he said the night that on average, a team scores once every 40 corners. You really saying we’re getting oor monies worth oot o Russel as a No2? Fuckin specialist coach disna count, that’s like a goalie coach, useful as a specialist, so, Russel may have a role, but as assistant manager? Is he the good cop or the bad cop? Miserable b*****d that fir sure. Look I’m fine wi the get rid o the lot o them, but, we should never have accepted a situation far every member o the backroom staff has nae experience of e.g gan through o run o nae wins like we are.

Okay, Monday morning, Cormack can either de nithin - likely and therefore questions will still be asked, pressure mounts for a hame game against Hibs or, sack Glass, unlikely be seen tae de something, scapegoat, bring somebody tae help the manager.

Maybe, but as I suggested a couple o weeks ago, if Cormack truly believes in Glass, then he should back him by getting rid o a specialist striker coach...sic and replace wi an experienced auldheid tae support Glass. It may be time for Glass tae get the bullet, but, my point has aye been, how can Cormack save face?

Yir probably right, but, if ye wir Cormack and believed in Glass, surely ye wid pit somebody experienced alang side him?

Okay, so I got a loada grief for targeting Russel a few weeks back. I’m nae a Glass apologist, but, he’s been appointed and I still canna understand why we dinna have an auld heid as no. 2. Russel brings very little tae the table, ye wid think he could mhak the difference tae a team that has oor possession stats, but bar a few set pieces I dinna think he offers onything. Fitiver ye think o Glass and the setup, which, by the wye, disnae mhak ony sense, assistant manager is also team captain?? If yir trying something new wi a an inexperienced manager, at least have a number 2 wi something aboot him. Russel is fraud, the fact Marshall, the goalkeeper coach gets sent aff shows it hail bench set up is a joke. My point has aye been the Glass has been hung oot tae dry by Cormack nae supporting his inexperienced manager.

Aye, fitiver min

So, I ask ye, fit will Cormack do? It’s nae aboot ahbody else saving Cormack’s face, HE is noo in the position o having tae save some face. I jist dinna think he’ll sack Glass, mainly because his pride winna allow and I dinna think we’ll be in a relegation battle. But, Cormack might have tae be seen tae do something.

If Cormack truly believes in Glass then his pride is gan tae tak an affa hit if he sacks Glass efter 6 months. The decent thing tae do wid be get somebody in, even short term tae support Glass. Maybe Broon will find himself finally in the role of assistant manager rather than team captain in the coming weeks. Either wye, Cormack will need tae be seen tae act.

I can think of one goal that looked like it came fae the training ground, the rest has been the quality of Ramsay’s delivery, I’m sure Russell is worth every penny

The point is, can he organise a defence? Can he give Glass some insight during games? Fah dis Glass turn tae during this awful run that has experience of such situations? Craig Broon? Should a ‘specialist’ be the no. 2? If Cormack has faith in Glass as an inexperienced manager, mair thought should have been given tae adding some experience tae the backroom.

We were sold the idea that Broon was Glass’ assistant but he canna be if he’s team captain. Apaloo was supposed tae be the analyst, I dinna doot he manages that - Russell is the big mystery for me

If Cormack wishes tae save any face without the embarrassment of sacking Glass this early in the season, he must get an experienced heid alang side Glass. Interesting that Russell seems tae be drifting further intae the background. I jist dinna get fit he brings tae the ‘project’.

Load o fannies, ‘lads against lockdown’ freedom for nuggets tae be reactionary fuckwits nae doot - do the research! Etc

Fah in the backroom is there onybody that looks capable o sorting us defensively? I’m nae getting the great love in for the guy and I’m nae suggesting he should be bulleted, I jist think if things dinna improve there will be shake up, Cormack may throw a bone tae appease the discontent. Getting rid o the analyst or Broon? Nah, Russell is the perfect scapegoat tae replace with somebody experienced along side Glass.

Why Russell? Russell is in effect the no. 2, I dinna doubt his striker coaching credentials, though that’s nae been working too well lately. Look, there are folk calling for Glass tae be sacked, folk predicting he’ll be gone by November, that’s jist nae gan tae happen, no way Cormack will sack Glass. But, if we continue tae struggle as maist expect, Cormack will be pressured to do something. Personally, I’d rather we had a mair experienced, old fox alang side Glass that kens how tae drill and organise a back 4.

Settle min, the suggestion was never tae replace Glass with Duffy. The point was, and clearly missed, is that Glass is nae gan tae be sacked onytime soon. But, Cormack may be pressured tae do something and for me the appointment of Russell is looking well dodgy. Sacrificing him and bringing in an experienced no. 2, especially one that can organise a back 4, wid mhak a lot o sense.
