Still a better option than mcallister and ahui at right back then?

Even if we didn’t have to replace Murdoch and Dempsey, I still doubt that Bullen and Mathie would’ve brought in the quality necessary in the full back positions. Between them they are so poor at spotting a player. We’d have ended up with some guy who was tearing up the Isthmian league…

Performances have been turgid for the entirety of Bullen’s time here. Not just the last few months. Mediocre, dreary pish week in week out. Even last season when Akinyemi was singlehandedly scudding teams we were still howling. All of it brought into sharper relief by the boosterism of Mathie and Bullen, practically telling us to eat shit and like it. The recruitment is shocking. Relying on no mark non entities from English Sunday leagues isn’t it. We can’t give this lot another transfer window to dig us deeper into the mire. Surely the board must see this.

I’ll fart my Yogi Hughes for manager view out again.

Again, I’d be charitable to Bullen if this was just a shite day at the office. But f**k me, it’s been drudgery since day one.

Amartey is pish too. When he plays well, he’s direct and purposeful. But a lot of the time he does nada. Depressing when we were crying out for some English 7th tier player to come on. Reflects how piss poor recruitment is here.

Think I started with “if im being charitable” and followed with “I’m not”

If I’m being charitable to Bullen I’d say that he’s playing the hand he’s dealt. Not got much on the bench to change things up when we’re playing pish. But I’m not. The guy seems to respond, and do what should be done, two months after the fact as if to spite folk. He’s a no mark. Get him tae.

Regazzi are harbouring ManueL Noriega. also, just saw the score. Bullen out.

Haha! f**k sake

That’s sad, man. Pathetic.

I wonder what their contract situation is like. Like are they lumbered with duds on two year deals that are stinking the place up and eating into wages? Our issues were clear to everybody. I wonder if we’ve been hamstrung by having so much dead weight (potentially) unlike Raith

What’s Raiths secret this season? They seemed pretty run of the mill whenever I saw them last year. Looked a very good outfit tonight.

Doubt its councils displacing responsibility onto others. More just reflecting the fact that there’s f**k all in the way of public funds to invest in decent services, and trying to get the maximum out of what little there is. In my experience, the amount of money up for grabs is usually minuscule and spread pretty thin. RCGF was £25m and available to every council and development vehicle to apply for, and that was one of the biggest pots of funding out there for this kinda thing. The competition for the funding is, as a result, pretty fierce. I’m guessing whatever the club are applying for will be along similar lines. But on the face of it they look to have a pretty reasonable claim that whatever it is they’re building will be impactful. It’s clearly needed in the area and it doesn’t sound like we’re asking for the world either. Hopefully it’s a scoosh.

I used to manage regeneration capital grant fund applications for GCC. Think the fund they are putting in for sounded pretty similar to that. If it is then they’d usually be asked to provide some socially beneficial dimension and also outline what you can do with the new facilities that you couldn’t do before. Hopefully they can show this. They likely can tbf as Somerset is bang in between White City and Whitletts.

Being charitable, I reckon he knows who is Adams replacement is (Shankland), but not who his dykes replacement is. But again, his thinking is clear as mud here.

Dykes is coming on….Shankland might as well head up the road.

Jacob Brown? I know he’s a striker. But similarly mince.

Taylor seems to be an adherent of the paddy reading school of left backing. That’s three goals lost down that channel in the last two games. Pish.

You got…paid?

What currency did General M Bison try to pay Zangieff with? That.

Fair enough…Although I’m still smarting from when transfermarkt said David Bangala was worth 250k. Didn’t define the currency right enough.

Isn’t his contract up next year at hearts? Few currant buns I work with are slevering at the prospect.

There’s an odd snobbery amongst the “big teams” of Scottish football when it comes to signing players. The fact shankland never kicked on to a much bigger challenge after Ayr is testament to that. He was incredible at Ayr.

Again, another kicker. If Bullen has a role in recruitment, why are there not effective enough checks and balances in recruitment to point out that these duds couldn’t get a game for sayr United in the shoot league? The whole recruitment system is baffling, man.
