    This kind of bollocks/run was the end for the previous board.
    King planning on signing Lambert and Larsson to stop 10 in a row? (Feels like and looks like we are as gash and as incompetent in the face of the obvious as possible).
    Spent how much allegedly?...yet looking like we could end up 10-15 behind Aberdeen by the end, finishing above Hearts looks like it could be a challenge and check the nick of their erratic form against different quantities.
    Are we still trying to force some out the club on the cheap before we get our shit together so Dave and Paul and do what they want?
    Fucking sickeningly disgraceful handling of this club and resources.
    Fuming because you can see what is coming in the football a mile off and those who know the game and who are running the club can't see  for 6-8 months what us mere fans do.
    I've stayed away from posting because "I knew this would happen" and "This is shite" just gets fucking old and no one wants to read/hear it after the last hof decade.

    2.40 Cheltenham
    Crosshue Boy 33/1 E/W
    It's last race looked to me to be going to plan, it looked strong in the race, up with the pace and looking at ease about it when brought down.
    Maybe this is tougher or just a run out to see it's got no issues as a result of being brought down by a faller but I said at the time this was one that was looking like winning was on the cards of the near future, I'd hate to think it was at 33/1 and I ignored it purely because it was at big odds. With that said I haven't researched this race inside out I only just saw that Crosshue Boy was running. 
    Make of this what you like but putting it as an E/W (without 2 favs) in an otherwise likely double/treble with a small stake attached surely isn't a bad idea?!

    I always throw in a note of sensible caution because you never know what someone else is meaning when they say they are on a bad run - I mind seeing a guy at one of the big race meets and he had remortgaged the house and slapped it on the fav at 4-1 (was well fancied), all of this said in a quite chuffed fashion while saying if it didn't pan out he was fucked, his wife would leave him for a start as she had no idea their home was under threat, was on telly anaw, BBC presenter just looking horrified and giving it "Erm moving on..." . It's easy to see "everyone" winning and thinking "If I just keep going it'll come good" so I try to mention the things that don't need to be said just incase someone is THAT person at the minute that needs reminded. 
    I missed out on Tikkandemickey the day cause I forgot about it, had been waiting on it anaw, at the point I realised I was thinking "sums up my luck the now".

    Football mate, soccerway the teams then monitor the game activity and read how it's going - South American games tend to go the way of making sure everyone gets some good odds coming in. 
    Something simple like team to score before X minute or more than 0.5 goals first half are good. 
    I was getting pumped and that was continuing tonight with some of the gentlemen's agreements in the European games but I started picking up when I focused on what I have an idea about and trusting my judgement in play having decided what the outcome should be while factoring in the way the game is actually going; while bearing in mind that the America's are shameless for match fixing.
    part of my run tonight
    Of course though, if your fucked for cash for the love of god stop - we've all chased the rabbit down the hole at some point but you can't always pull one out the hat otherwise we'd all be rich.

    In a season where we are meant to be sending a message of intent and stating that we're back, we are giving everyone an extra good laugh on a weekly basis.
    Enough for me, since before the Cup final this has been going on.
    There isn't a player to scapegoat for any of this; it's the manager's show and it's unacceptable, I would go further and tear into King but Warburton knew what he was doing when he said he was happy with shopping in the English leagues.

    Thank fuck.
    Whoever said he'd pop up with the winner deserves a pint, fucking typical.
    I'm raging though in a sense because I think the goal will stop questions being asked and answers being sought.

    Get O'Halloran on through the middle.
    Sit deep as a team and play quick through balls for O'Halloran to outrun a pushed up Motherwell to.

    Looking forward to this one today.
    Motherwell should have been basically out of sight in the first half the last time we played them but they never took the chances and when we got out of bed we ran out worthy winners in the end (even if it took 2 pretty good strikes to get through them). Today's match I'm hoping will give us a better idea of the distance between us as I don't expect another first-half horror show.
    I'm particularly interested to see us continue the more direct attacking play (more impetus going forward) that we started to show against Dundee, there's no doubt in my mind that if we are to hit 5th gear against the Tims then we have to remember and sharpen up that aspect of our play; if we do so Toure will have nightmares because he appears particularly weak in his positioning/chasing quick 1-2's and through balls.
    Assuming Harry starts on the right I'd like to see us roll with O'Halloran through the middle and see what he can do running on to through balls (I feel he could be Rod Wallace material, I honestly do). I'm not, however, expecting to see Miller dropped so that's likely to remain a little fantasy of mine until such times as the managers hand is forced.
    3-0 would be an improvement going forward and an improvement in defense and so that's what I'm hoping for today.

    Until the manager starts proving us wrong there is an air of Le Guen about this and before anyone harpoons me allow me to make the case;
    After the first 2 months of last season, we played possession football in a manner that allowed teams to get back and defend as a back 10, as the season went on we struggled to even create chances never mind scoring. We were more direct today but generally you can say with certainty that this is a year long issue/trait. For all we raved about last season we achieved fewer points than Hearts, only finished 10 points ahead of 2nd and the Cup final and last 10-12 games of the season would have had a manager strung up in a normal year. Plan 'A' is attack a team to death leaving us open to the counter attack and putting a lot of pressure on our threadbare defense, the possession we have does not equate to goals and in turn Plan 'A' isn't fully functioning AND there appears to be no alternative/correction to it by the manager. Manager has not criticised financial backing from the board but never have we claimed to be challenging for a title with so little - I understand why money is tight but I never made the promise nor inferred that we're going for it. You can say he's happy, complicit, naive or whatever but 'value' doesn't need to mean free's from the Championship relegation zone it can mean someone at £1M who's a better defender than everyone at the club and who has a sell on value or potential to get even better (what we've got for the money is FANTASTIC and I see how it all could come together etc. etc. BUT we are lacking some genuine class/quality you can just rely on regardless of the weather/performance and that is an issue particularly in Defense.)  The manager said that getting our new players in early would make all the difference to starting the season as we'd be more prepared, sharp, fit etc. etc.; I'm calling bullshit on this one, take the blinkers off with regards to our wins against League 1 and below, we've been huffing out our arse in multiple positions and key players. Hamilton was used as a pre-season game and the proof of that is the players who failed to perform prior all started while the players we eventually brought on as subs were clearly sharp/fit/ready/better. Comments after the Hamilton game were deceitful (imo), bizarre and failing to acknowledge/recognise the truth. Today was again extended to Miller as a fitness/sharpness exercise - he could have wrapped up the game in the first half 2-3 times and I knew the fact that he didn't would make it hard for us in the second half ( I don't write him off like some on here as I know he'll be an asset BUT he's not meriting a starting place and it's playing with fire when we make it difficult for ourselves going forward already. Forrester should have been subbed and had he been sent off we were in trouble. When you combine it all there is a POSSIBLE naivety that some 'C' rate English players will stroll it up here, that we'll win with a 50% team/performance etc, that 'Plan A' will work, that no investment is needed to challenge - it's all just combining to possibly smack of that arrogance/naivety Le Guen had when he put Svensson at CB, struggled every week against the bread and butter, stuck to his style when it wasn't working.
    Despite all these accumulated thoughts I don't think much needs to happen in order to see 3rd and 4th gears in our team and a strength that puts fear into teams, it's just concerning that we are sailing so close to the wind and appear entirely unconcerned without evidence to suggest that confidence is well founded. 
    I should add for fairness that perhaps Crooks, Windass, Waghorn are all key and there will be another couple in this regard (new signings yet to be made) - it's easy then to see why we could look disjointed/lacking but I do feel we have more than enough to have savaged Hamilton and Dundee and we have not.
