He's blue he's white 717 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 the terrible moments, ridicule, agenda to kill our club and to top it all off dire football week in week out. We truly are in good times nowI wanted to acknowledge the board, although serious money still be spent I'm delighted the noise coming from that department is minimal and imo is a good sign, like most bears I'm sure I spend my time on BD or the transfer forum not boardroom anymore. We really do have an incredible manager and he is building something special here, he has identified the right people to strengthen the infrastructure of the club and I'm sure it'll make us able to compete at the highest level. We have a young exciting team, playing the best football I can remember in my life time, apart from Advocat - he did spend a few bob tbf!Everyday is a good day and I for one am extremely proud and now enjoying the journey, transfer windows are bringing excitement and a level of expectation that we will find and un-earth some young gems that improve our team and their re-sale should be for a large profit. We're lucky to have Warburton and Weir, although they are also lucky to have Rangers!WATP ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 12,007 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Purely for entertainment value I would say we're better than Advocaat's brand of football. Obviously not in terms of overall player quality but for entertainment, Warbuton's brand just shades it. Can't wait to see how Warbuton has us playing when inevitably we get higher quality players in years to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldoKrfc 106 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Agree with this the last 6 or 7 months have been excellent. From the way we are dealing with the media, to the way we are buying players in the transfer market, everything seems to be going smoothly and I think it all stems from the manager we have in place. I honestly think for the next year or so we need him more than he needs us but I get the feeling he's enjoying the challenge and looking forward to the legendary status he will achieve by winning the premiership title.

I even love our press conferences now, whereas, the previous 3 years they were cringeworthycant wait to get to ibrox today....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advocaats first season - halcyon days indeed.I don't remember any of Advocaats reign as when he joined I was only just born, but I honestly think once we start improving our quality and playing against open teams, our football will be the best we have ever played.

simplythebestest 2,145 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Agree with the positive sentiments towards the board. They get more scrutiny than others which makes them seem incompetent at times, but that is the media agenda. This wifi story being headline news for example - not sure that would make the papers if it was the other side if the city. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Advocaat we had some games won so early and took the foot off the gas. I remember being 5-0 up at Dens Park at half time and the second half was absolutely dire. Ended 5-1 or something. In fairness, we had higher priorities back then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,294 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 The first half today was the best stuff we've played this season, or since Raith Rovers in September at least. I know it's just Livingston but if we can improve at the back... as I am sure we will, the type of football we play will open up most teams in Scotland. Celtic are not as good as some make out to be, and they will be fully aware of what is happening now (not stating the obvious of course) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see how Warbuton has us playing when inevitably we get higher quality players in years to come.I hope I am wrong but I doubt we will ever see football or footballers as we did under Advocaat's first two years.The football this season has been good and is a world away from that under the twin trumpets of mccoist and mcdowell but I think some need a reality check.The current side is playing in a poor league and the real tests for Warburton and the players are still to come.The reality is we still need at least half a dozen players for next season. I'm enjoying this season as much as the next fan but let's not get carried away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalton 1,192 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The away fans allocation under ally it would be expecting a result and have more numbers now any visiting support are expecting the opposite The spaces in the away end are a sign that we are a different beast and the trip away isnt worth going.

JWAC 2,223 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Not sure i agree with that mate. Advocaats first season - halcyon days indeed.More money and more esteemed players but they didn't play with the game plan we currently are playing. I'm not sure how we'll hold up in the top league, we'll face even more bruisers and thugs but I don't think, in my lifetime anyway, I've seen our side sent out specifically to pass and overplay opposition into submission.I said it earlier on here, our crossfield long range passing is utterly delightful at the moment. I need to keep reminding myself how good it actually is because we're doing it so often.40-50 yard passes across the pitch straight to feet and it's part of our normal play now!

allgers 735 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Can't wait for Mr Warburton to unleash this brand of football onto the bigger stage. Can this type of football have success in Europe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
