Spanish Armada Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 The Kelty Hearts pounds will be imminent IMO. Genuinely I would take a packet of crisps for Kieran MacDonald. Would probably be a better defender. I’d take a freddo for Kieran McDonald the guys a fud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haw smart arse I can remember Willie Steel and Doris Day was just about to leave when I was in first year. She was a really good singer though and was always the star of the school show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take me some time to find the 50 managers but I do have vague memories of Willie Steel at the start of my teenage years of supporting the Diamonds. Excluding some of the dross recently I voted Jackie Stewart as the worst manager I had ever experienced and wee Doddy as the best. As to Ian Murray I will bide my time, We used to sing a song about take me back to the Ashy hills of Gartlea , being inspired by Doris in Calamity James. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Murray came in, you've gave him nothing but grief despite him clearly working with inferior tools, players that, for the most part, he now wants rid of. What did you expect? Did you think he was gonna walk through the door and cast some fucking Harry Potter spell and turn Conroy into N'golo Kante? We get that you've watched lots of managers, but that doesn't make you a sage. If you want the manager changed every five fucking minutes then you've clearly learned nothing despite your advancing years,.We need stability and to give Murray the summer to build his team. If it's shite come winter then come back on and give it large, until then pipe down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindiamond Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I go back to Willie Steel. Gary Mackay the worst up until the run of managers after Jimmy Boyle and before Ian Murray (with the exception of Danny Lennon). Some real crackers in there. Makes one wonder on the selection process.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes one wonder on the selection process.......... Mackay had a tough gig trying to follow Doddie with the funds starting to run out. It was desperate stuff but we were at a much higher level and would have been able to thrash any of the sides we've seen in the Diamond from Jimmy Boyle onwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion is utterly ridiculous though. You claim to be a more mature fan yet after about a month of Murray being in post all he got from you is criticism. I ask again, what do you expect from him coming into post with a team he's inherited and a limited budget? I tell you what I expected? Make us more difficult to beat and keep us up. He's achieved that. He'll get criticism from me next year based on who he signs and team performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected the team to be able to beat East -Fife at home, I expected us to go and give Montrose a game ,yes it's my fault for thinking he could come in and make a team out of the players we had .If you were happy with the team selections and subs made then that's well and good .just hope he can bring in two or three quality players because I think that is all it would need to get us into the play off positions . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
