McGuigan1978 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Almost as nutty as folk on this forum claiming we would walk this league once Mcglynn came in pie and bovril the voice of authority. I wasn’t a huge fan of McGlynn during his first spell here, based purely on his style of play, but in that tenure we won the third tier, stabilised in the second before finishing second, and also reached the semi-final of the Scottish Cup. I sincerely doubt we’d have achieved that under Barry Smith, who if anything played an even more stupefyingly dull brand of football. All we needed was a slight upgrade, and with that in mind, and all the evidence of what went on before, you can surely appreciate why a lot of fans, myself included, felt McGlynn could be just that? That doesn’t appear to have happened as of yet, indeed it might be that it doesn’t happen at all, but your constant, wearying criticism of fans who had hope it was a good appointment is boring, predictable, and frankly a little weird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surely No Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Can understand taking off Nisbet and replacing with Buchanan but taking off Barjonas and replacing him with Matthews,a defensively minded midfielder,was madness in my opinion. The game had still to be won and we threw it away. Not because of Bairds wonder strike but because we squandered far too many chances. When will we learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this. McGlynn hasn't worked out as planned, but the players need to take a big chiubk of blame too - and I'd like to see how Mcglynn gets on in the summer building his own squad. Plus, in all honesty, who else could we get? Do we sack McGlynn and go onto yet another manager? He absolutely has to change the defence though, in order to receive any goodwill. Willing to give an experienced manager time to get it right isn't in anyway accepting mediocrity. There's an element of our fanbase who seem to hate Mcglynn and seem desperate for him to fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Bask in your neo liberal Marxism comradeI’ve no idea what this means in terms of your quote, or why believing McGlynn over Smith might at the very least be an okay idea, but fair play to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
