I'm conflicted with that... the old geezers are outing themselves though given the age of TOS. Edit - Stargate SG1 for the win! Loved that when I was growing up.

GuyIncognito Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) also regarding pendlebury it's very hard to blame bullen. If something personal has happened with him or he's homesick, which meant he would have to go back, or he's gone off in the huff due to not playing one game then you can't really blame bullen regardless of what happened. edit - not a huge bullen fan, just saying it's hard to blame him for this Edited August 30, 2023 by GuyIncognito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 2 minutes ago, Trogdor said: I'm no Bullen fan. That should be obvious to most. I actually think he's coming to the end of the road as Ayr manager. However, the Pendlebury situation can't be attributed to him. Either Pendlebury has chucked the rattles and he's as well punted. Or he has struggled to settle and can't focus (it happens) and he's been released. Either way it's the recruitment team and strategy I'm questioning... Does it happen though? I mean it's a very rare thing and surely at the extreme end of dealing with things. That's why I think it's actually been downplayed a bit in terms of reasons why. Plus I don't like that that this can now be seen as an option at the club now if a player is unsettled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's happy (and presumably he is) then I don't really see why we should get that bothered about it. If any other club in this league was in this position you would be sharing a totally different set of opinions right now. 2nd place was a good achievement last season and it is staggering to believe we find ourselves in this mess. Something i didn't think we would see having a full time team supposed to avoid these very problems. If you can't see the current situation for what it is then you are in for some very long saturday afternoons ahead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a good chance that nobody is to blame and it's just an unfortunate situation that does happen quite regularly. That's life.

Instead of dealing with the confrontation of dropping McGinty he instead unbalances the team by shoe horning the clubs best centre back into a holding midfielder. Your not wrong Stranger was brought in for Frankie going to the AFCON and has done nothing wrong to be dropped for, I would love to see him play Stranger and Frankie I don't think it's a coincidence that we played our best football with Kirk and Frankie last season as the CB's 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's life.
