Thumper Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 1 minute ago, No_Problemo said: IMO - the “We are United” thing has always felt like something they have done well in terms of the wider community. There has been an admirable attempt to reach out to The Community as in the people of the town - I've mates who have said their family members in nursing homes have had multiple visits from Bullen etc. But this doesn't come across on matchday. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I really hope we get this appointment made before the Arbroath game. We need to give the new manager a bit of the window to add to the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performances and results on the pitch haven't been good enough which is the reason for that feeling on matchday. Still doesn't justify any form of abuse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-ish Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 My take on it is that the club have done us dirty on this. Yeah, personal abuse is taking it too far but I think he actually got off very easily considering how bad we've been. A few 'GTF Bullens' and some 'this is pish Bullens' is 100% acceptable in my book. If it's been more than just general criticism then it should have been followed up through the proper channels, not in a sacking statement. It just smacks of defending their pal and protecting themselves. Suggesting he left due to abuse rather than incompetence is just mental. I get they can't control what the media do with info but you can't give these rags an inch. It's done nothing to #unite the fans. Hashtags can get in the bin btw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_ayr Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) It’s really annoying me that anyone who has reported the sacking has also said that it goes along with fan abuse, as if we were messaging him and screaming horrible things at games. I have actually never heard anything I’d call abuse at a game, might’ve see a few harsh tweets at him but that’s the minority. The club statement makes it out like it’s the whole Fanbase… Edited January 15 by Tommy_ayr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_AUFC Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Our chairman appears to me to be a wee bit thin skinned. Remember, the Todorov stuff when he sacked us off and Mr Smith had a big petted lip. Shit happens in football. Shankland fucked off us at the last minute to go on loan to Morton, imagine if McCall had a grudge against him after that… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I went to shout at Bullen last Saturday, however there's a massive difference between telling him that his team are shite and getting personal. As stated on here, he comes across as a decent guy and this will have hurt him more than any of the fan base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-ish Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Bullen must have shelled out for some amount of pints in the Hub given the amount of goodwill he's received. He's left behind a legacy of alcoholics and 8 goals against triggering a hoedown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is full of short termism and grudges rarely do you any good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
