A wall of silence and stoic reservation on the touchline would be the true mark of a club figurehead. Alternatively, you could just view the guy for the passionate and engaging character he is. He no doubt has his flaws like the rest of us, but wearing his heart on his sleeve and engaging with the fans seem bizarre points to call him out on, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty interesting discussions going on considering the current state of affairs, so as first posts go it's a curious one.

thisGRAEME Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 If the club have anything about them they'll start punting CBD capsules called "Burrows Patience". I'll take a case. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take Burrow's approach quite happily, regardless of how many VL's and roasters he replies to on twitter. This. Id kill to have a Burrows type discussing/explaining things to the fans clearly. We're obviously given Rangers 3 stands, moving home fans, and charging £30 for the honour. This was decided after "consulting with fan groups". Nobody has come forward to say they were consulted beyond our young fan group (FCU) saying the club told them this was happening, FCU told the club it would be a mistake, and the club pressed ahead anyway. The only other person whos come forward is someone who spoke to a board member in the pub one day and also just got told it was happening. There was then 11 days of complete silence on the issue, with hundreds of emails/phonecalls ignored. The only response was a "fan not connected to the club" who came on here and, in their only post, successfully "guessed" the reasoning behind the decision before throwing a strop. Yesterday random people got a patronising email calling our home support shite with multiple claims of financial affects some of which are either wrong or misleading, while everyone else got a tweet saying tickets were for sale and "300 U12S GO FREE!" (we've allowed all U12s into games for free for over a decade). Edited January 10, 2023 by RandomGuy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear I think we all admire him for being quite open with the support. It just must take more patience than anyone on earth to put up with people tweeting him "wHErE iS ThE sIGniNgs?!11?" every half hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I didn't really appreciate at the time how good/lucky a block it was from Porteous or we'd probably have equalised late on on Sunday. Have we ever scored two goals that late to claw back a result? The Bob McHugh game at ER was a bit earlier I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last day of the 2009/10 season, we scored twice in injury time at Ibrox to get a draw. First through Jennings, then a Jutkiewicz penalty.

That's Alan's professional account. He's got another handle which shows no link to his career and recently called Douglas Ross a "Puddle drinking foam face". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
